remember when dotards thought the talents were fake?

>Naga posting

I think that the talent picker pop-up looks really bad aesthetically but I hope it will be improved. Really digging the updated UI. I have been waiting for this moment since Dota 2 came out.

I HATE Roshan placement...

First for WHERE IS NAGA POSTER

SUPPPORTS
ARE
CARRIES
NOW

1st for RIP

>finally git gud
>they change everything

Any change of sudden MMR reset? shit d be awesome and logical

WHY ISNT PPD ON EG ANYMORE WHAT HAPPENED

post your country lad

>buffing slark, the most OP character in the game

reminder that "muh winrate" is not valid, because bads pull him down

boosters will maintain 70% winrate until 5.5k

remember that nobody picks roots either and none of the other changes affect him

>tfw you guys actually chased Nagaposter away

All he wanted to do was post Naga in peace and suddenly everyone smothered him to death just like Memeoire guys

>Treant's Nature's Guise works while standing next to a planted Tree with Ironwood Branch

he read the patch notes early

...

WAIT DID THEY FUCING REMOVE PWNED

THEY FUCKING REMOVED X HAS PWNED Y'S HEAD

NOOOOOOOOO

ATOS WILL BE THE NEW CANCER
YOU WILL ALL BE CRYING ABOUT IT IN TWO MONTHS
ALSO:
-offlane treeant

REMINDER

in game desing it only matters to have MORE of everything. that's why we need to keep adding stuff and mechanics. because that's how you get fun.

TIME TO BUY MIDAS ON EVERY SUPPORT NOW

MID LICH IS NOW KING

its ok if your team plans on pushing

otherwise I think supports have to buy it for you

>maelstrom and mjollnir are no longer UAMS

huh

>everyone gets amazing shit
>spectre gets a boring talent tree and no changes

nice game

The more I read into this patch the more and more I like it

Anyone else feel the same hype as me?

are there any UAMs left

Arc warden
broodmother
clinkz
death prophet
Dragon Knight
ember spirit
Io
Lycan
Medusa
Phantom Assassin
Slardar
Spectre
Templar assassin
terrorblade
Troll Warlord
Underlord

How do we give them aghs?

I thought you died, don't scare me like that

EG decided they preferred revenue from RTZ stream rather than winning titles

...

>git gud at visage
>see changelogs
>no one else will play him anyway because micro

THE REIGN OF GARGOYLES HAS BEGUN

Underlord ult searches for allies globally

>Retards actually think them playing shit is okay cause its the test client

Is your anus ready.

Which hero has the objectively best talent tree and why is it Chen?

It baffles me a bit that in a game which they had already troubles balancing because there are too many interactions and skills to consider, they would add all those talent trees.

I guess they hope that if it's just too random to understand anymore it will take too long for a certain meta to form to make the game stale.

deso, satanic, morbid, MoM, caustic finale and drow's arrows

>4 bounty runes in jungle

Just think about Alchemist for a second here

yeah but even less normies will buy it now

GIVE BACK TECHIES SUICIDE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

who is clan_iraq

>Talent Trees
There you have it
Years and years of trying to balance the game
Right in the fucking trash

Yeah but Necronomicon was nerfed and turned into a fighting item

I really hope they didn't butcher him man Lycan was honestly the one hero I knew I could win with because Wolves need no armor, DO THEY NEED ARMOR NOW?? WHAT DO HIS WOLVES NEED????

SF is now literally an artillery canon

Blight stone nerds

...

Is there a way to still learn new skills with a hotkey or do I have to click the button above the skills now? I can still find the hotkey in the menu, but it doesn't seem to work anymore..

Dragon Knight:
Elder Dragon Form
Corrosive Breath now affects the splashed targets.
Dragon Tail is now a fast projectile while in Dragon Form.

Level 10: +6 Strength OR +20 Attack Speed
Level 15: +25% XP Gain OR +40 Damage
Level 20: +120 Gold/Min OR +300 Health
Level 25: 2x Dragon Blood Regen/Armor OR +50 Movement Speed

These are some bad trait choices.

why would you ever wa

>4 dogs
>not +15s shapeshift

>That treant talent tree and Q rework

TIME TO SHOW OFF MY RAPIER RUSH STRAT

>Yeah but Necronomicon was nerfed and turned into a fighting item

thats a buff dude

critting necros with HOWL MOTHERFUCKER

You better not be serious

neutrals respawn every 2 minutes after 3:00, so no

Lycan aghs gives you +6 wolves

wow are you the icefrog replacement?

ctrl + hotkey

No. You don't understand. It might be an imbalanced mess now but in the long run talents actually enable them to balance heroes easier. Talents introduce another way to compensate a hero's weakness and vice versa via tweaking.

The frog literally added this shit to show Blizzard how it's actually done.

But muh every hero pick means it was perfectly balanced and he was done with this version

alch only gets 2x the value of runes now though.

>Flame Guard can absorb 1000 magic damage
>OR
>Searing Chains can root for 5 seconds and deal 500 total damage

what the fuck

1 old bounty rune is now worth 3 new ones though

>Root now disables the following movement spells: Burrow Strike, Waveform, Blink Strike, Phantom Strike, Reality Rift, Pounce, Skewer, Ball Lightning, Timber Chain, Rolling Boulder, Icarus Dive, Leap, Poof, and Time Walk.

mfw I realized this functionality a few months ago and freed up a much needed hotkey

imagine a smug anime face

Admitting Talon was stupidly OP would be bad so they gutted the jungle instead of reworking Talon.

IS THAT IMBA SANDKING?

>hard nerf to bounty rune multiplier
makes you think

behead those who insult our prophet

>Lesnarpostingintensifies.png

Dota had a good run bros

Thanks.

>Searing Chains Ensnare now reveals invisible units

wards and a roaming support to eat the runes
