So, mask of madness is now the best item in the game for right clickers. When are you going to buy one?

Who are more pathetic?
valve/icefrog defence forces who think they can do no wrong
OR
doomsday fags who are so quick to bury this game at any slight change or percieved inconveniece to themselves

>Gets absolutely blown the fuck out
>uses @ instead of >> to not show his failure to the world
>tries to act smug and posts reddit frog even though he knows he got btfo and has no arguments
Nice job, Adrian.

this kind of patch is great because it will show who's good and who's a dumb grind monkey

can't wait to see some """"pros"""" getting E X P O S E D

This map looks fucking dumb, what kinda ape comes up with these changes

>what do we do to balance out the dire rosh advantage
>lets give it to the radiant

you cant make shit shit up

Definitely the valvedrones. There are things now that are objectively worse than before like the HUD, the map, the creep spawn shit, and the shrines. For literally what purpose

>doomsday fags who are so quick to bury this game at any slight change or percieved inconveniece to themselves

Those are sc2 subhumans that dont even play the game.

why the fuck do they keep changing the map?

1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL WE GET TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR OURSELVES

1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL WE GET TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR OURSELVES

1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL WE GET TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR OURSELVES

1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL WE GET TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR OURSELVES

1 MORE SLEEP UNTIL WE GET TO PLAY THIS SHIT FOR OURSELVES

If it goes lategame on spiritbreaker that extra bash and a moon shard plus mom will literally be a storm of pure butthurt

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THEY LET REDDIT BALANCE THE GAME

nth for creep hero

playing 6.78 or something

>mfw Level 25 Aether Lens Zeus with two global skills to finish off stragglers

I'm sorry, were you planning on pushing high ground? Should have tried it earlier.

Shit like that is getting toned down

x2 at the fucking highest

ITS SKADI GAMING NOW

any info about in how long is the patch coming out?
Gonna go to sleep now pro wake up in about 10 hours or so, hoping to be able to play it by then

>can't use diffusal blade on yourself
ouch

The map is probably the worst of all things, I could deal with shrines and icefraud fucking with jungle, but the map looks even more retarded than before now.

It's especially amazing on monkey king because his first talent gives you 5 armor.

Just play on the test client? I played like 6 games of the new update already

so whats the most ridic option in a tree?

...

...

How many treants does the level 25 talent give me again?

Do you guys think that Icefrog and Valve have planned this all along when Dota transitioned to Dota 2?

>tfw bristle + centaur game

...

Jokes on you I'm a level 25 Pudge and I have 9k HP and 50% magic resistance.

this is a massive fucking change

completely invalidates it for a few heroes

surprised I haven't seen more discussion about it

is nymbus instant cast?
a global double lighting bolt?

>bf
>manta
>skadi
>aghs
Dotards?

Who's ready for Monkey Kang to shit in their mouth?

Viper remodel confirmed???

...

>Mask of Madness Slark

Lmao Dark pact

This game is gonna suck

EVEN MEANS DOTO GREATER THAN EVER PLAYERBASE INCREASING AGAIN

ODDS MEANS EVEN MORE DOTARDS QUIT

The cloud can be killed though.

zai knows what up
twitter.com/zai_2002?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

why does this game ger more and more like league of legends with every patch? we literally have the same fucking hud now

Give me one argument why shrines are good. I can accept everything else but this is a disaster.

the cloud is garbage senpai

4 (8 for ranged) hits to kill, bolts on a 2.5 cd

Spec has to have a weaker tree because she already has 20 something% more EHP inherently.
Unless the enemy team buys a Silver Edge but who the fuck is smart enough to ever do that?

its bf -> vlads -> skadi
buy manta and aghs if the game isnt over (i doubt)

nigga click on the picture wtf

>shilling for the game and company that pays him
Wow he sure sounds like a reliable source to me!

Radiant only have the advantage from the top tier 1 tower, otherwise it's about as equally distanced from both sides.

yeah but league's hud was objectively better

no point to eating shit just because our neighbors aren't

Makes for more viable jungling. Try it, try jungling, clearing all the camps, and then just restoring health at the Shrine. Try it with a hero you normally wouldn't jungle with.

Creeps are for breeding

>Level 25: -10s Spectral Dagger Cooldown OR 400 Health
well?

If you don't skill Jugg like this:
>+20 damage
>+20 attack speed
>+20 movement speed
>+20 agility
Then you're a fucking shitter
The only actual option is level 20 +20ms or +8 stats, otherwise everything else is a non-option

...

I hate this game and all of you

ILEXA IS CUTE!

CUTE!

>the logic and philosophy behind (most) changes makes sense
but it literally doesnt, most of the changes sound like they were actually just throw dart to create

-10s cd
you dont need more health when you are a lvl 25 spec

Helo?

no more people suiciding at neutrals, more laning, more objectives after a teamfight

less downtime traveling to the fountain

so will the people who make custom heroes, bots or whatever for the weird custom modes have to add a talent tree to all their ****, even the retarded op boss mods?

that seems tedious

Literally what hope do you have as a jungler against treant

>no mass health regeneration or life steal

Having a large HP pool is a burden without these, you better hope your team has a good amount of heals.

where do you think new waves come from?

>talent trees

Valve is literally copying heroes of the storm
what were they thinking

>+2 Multishot Sacred Arrows
>+3 Mana Drain Multi Target
what to h*ck are these?

But any hero shouldnt be a jungler. That's why I hated iron talon

At least the Shrine is there in case you actually can escape the rape

>picking jugg
you're trash already

radiant's shrine is super close

What is our boy Mike thinking about right now?

>icefrog literally removed afk jungling
>people still call it a league patch

>ctr shill
>our boy
nah kill yourself

Anyways, mask of mom is core on monkey king until we see some nerfs and probably after too.

>REDDIT: THE GAME

WHEN WILL DOTARDS EVER FUCKING RECOVER?

why isn't my dota updating wtf

None. Get in to lane skill-less jungleshit.

Is the bottom rune like twice as far as the top rune or am I crazy?

>+400 attack range

Is this a joke, Frog?

ITS BAD ENOUGH YOU DON'T GIVE HIM A REMODEL

It's near enough instant, and you're almost guaranteed to get the second bolt off before it gets killed. It's not smart about targeting however, it will only zap the closest unit so you can't just lay it on creep waves and hope it harasses the heroes, it won't.

Mostly you use it for snap area denial or to punish people who run away, or often your ult fails to get a kill so this seals the deal.

Its not linked to any pre-existing ones either, so with Octarine you can overlap CDs and with Refresher that's two at once if you like. They can be in the same location, or separate, it's up to you.

It's also a 50 second scouting tool, and can be used to delay pushes across the map by zapping and creeps and also causing them to slow down and kill it.

Zeus has gone from having one of the worst upgrades in the game to one of the most interesting ones. Global nuke wards is the most "dota" thing I can imagine.

This
You wanna jungle, boy you gonna be busy as fuck.
I tried jungling as LC. Shitters will not be able to do it anymore.

>I never said the game wont change, but you act like "you need to relearn" the game when the game itself its the fucking same
It's not the same you dumb prick. I will bet my balls that pro teams right now are scrambling to make sense of these changes, and it'll take at least hundreds of hours of theorycrafting and sandboxing to figure out the best timings and builds. We're also going to see huge meta changes within a very short time as well.

>ive played for a very, very long time dota, learned literally everything the hard way
My point. You're exactly the type of person who has thousands of hours but a shit MMR to show for it because you're not >>actively thinking about how to play the game

BRING 6.78 BACK OR THE DUMB FROG GETS IT

Its not live retard

>if someone doesnt agree with me, he must be getting paid!
Eat shit

when you fire one arrow two more are fired at 30 degrees from your original arrow

when lion mana drains it targets 3 more targets

My exact my thoughts. BUT talents with items will add more complexity to professional games. I'm hopeful

THAT'S IT

THIS IS THE LAST STRAW

IM SELLING ALL MY ITEMS NOW BEFORE THEY GET DEVALUED WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE GAME IS SUPER SHIT NOW BECAUSE OF THE PATCH

GOODBYE VALVE AND GO FUCK YOURSELF

>completely invalidates it for a few heroes

Like who?

Riki got it because it's a massive leap of damage to him from the AGI Backstab bonus and keeping keeping enemies in smoke.

If dust is a massive issue nigga needs to get a Manta.

Jug, PL (if he were viable), Void and sometimes TB are still going to build it commonly.

just passing by to tell you guys that BOTS ARE ACTUALLY COMPLETE GARBAGE RIGHT NOW

played unfair mode and 3 bots were literally afk in the jungle NOT EVEN HITTING THE NEUTRALS

TOAD????????

WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THE HEALTH SMALLER AND PUT IT RIGHT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING RETARDED

Why do you hate 7.00?

Should also mention really that it's a 50 sec CD and a 50 sec duration.

This translates to non-stop 24/7 surveillance of Rosh.

>Not 6.72
baka

please dont tell me people are actually stupid enough to think thisafter watching the complete disaster that iron talon was when it comes to making people think junglers are good. how many times has a jungle LC completely ruined your games because the enemy just ran at you early while that retard did nothing in the jungle. jungling is not supposed to be an alternative to laning

>+70 strafe attack speed

Dude, he literally earns millions from this game and company. Do you think he dares to say a single bad word about it? LOL

>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH WHERE'S MY POCKET RIKI

VALVE LITERALLY IS REDDIT HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU DOTARDS.

Also, skywrath aghs. Lmao, he just can't decide on what to do with it can he?
