As long as that's a BBC

...

see

>Treant buff
>Monkey King added
Are we in the tree meta?

>"talent trees"

Cool it's another 1,500 pieces of arbitrary data I need to memorize. On top of that, this is a plagiarism of league. What the fuck.

I barely played one match per week but now I'm just quitting totally.

>Broodmother has choice between DOUBLE webs or DOUBLE spiderling HP
>Lycan has option for FOUR fucking wolves
>Dragon Knight can DOUBLE his passive HP regen and armor
>Clockwerk can get DOUBLE duration Battery Assault.
>Venomancer has option for TRIPLE damage and HP Plague Wards
So on and so forth. Every fucking hero gets amazing max-level Talent Tree options

Meanwhile Doom gets a measly +2% boost to infernal blade
Or
Devour ancient creeps, which is god awful because normal neutral camps already have superior abilities to steal (Purge, Ensnare, Packleader's Aura with Critical strike, Speed aura, Frost Armor).

Why is this allowed? Isn't Doom already one of the shittiest heroes in the game. Trash pickrate and winrate in both pubs and competitive.
He deserves better than this

timber is still good so

I dunno, the changes are weird.
I don't dislike them or anything.
They're just different.
I'm going to enjoy having to learn new elements.

>That overblown, massive bottom bar UI.
FUCK NO.

I wish we could fucking make this shit even smaller manually.

Treant is fucking stupid as hell now.

No make it red hot axe cock

>Chaos Knight literally gets raped because of other bullshit heroes

He doesn't deserve this

go back to league

>muh minimalism

why do you have to actively memorize? can't you read?

what about
DOUBLE treants

What if Doom's Devour gives him the magic immunity?

How long will it take until the patch actually gets somewhat balanced? Before they could not even balance around 100 heroes, now they have more than 1000 talents and more to balance around.

havent played yet but ive been hearing a lot of complaints about how small the UI is. I play at 1440p am i going to have to wear glasses to play dota?

>get the Stone Ancient
>boost teammates hp
>FREE bkb 24/7

i see nothing wrong with that

I have never played League.

The giga fuck massive UI ruins game when you at Dire

I think level 25 teamfights are going to be a stupid clusterfuck decided by unpredictable bullshit and instant deaths.

>read patch notes
>take one look at HuD
>watch two games of a reasonably high mmr player/streamer playing Wukong

not playing ranked for a month

anyone else not willing to risk mmr on this shit?

ACTUAL BEST WAIFU IS HERE NOW
other waifu shitters need not post

Reminder that these threads are lurked by mostly people with outright downs that don't know jackshit about the game and if you take anything of what these retards say seriously you might have downs too, since these 3kucks get triggered by completely random things

Spell immunity isn't a passive, it's a buff inherent to Ancients.
Doom can't gain buffs, only passives.

no it doesn't

the new hud is far too small, it looks like shit and does not give info quickly at a glance at all

So how good would Axe be in 7.00?

That +100 Battle Hunger DPS sounds like a fucking nightmare, 1000 damage added on.

On the other hand, Hunger is still a shitty spell and will never be good.

Rubick can't aim for shit.

>come to /d2g/ expecting bitching about balance
>it's mostly people angry about having a better HUD
I should have known

Ancients aren't even spell immune anymore, they have 70% magic resistance now.

I was going to tell you how to win games but I don't want it going on reddit, just a heads up.

He literally needs a rework of his abilities. Its literally too random to be good. Can he just be a fucking normal hero?

Between gank routes to Dire side, Radiant tier 2 safe lane pulls, and Rosh pit being located in the middle of the river, it seems like Radiant side is at a clear advantage.

So what now would be the "Dire Advantage" if any at all?

I dont play ranked so it doesnt bother me.

Balance was thrown out of the windows when they added 800 more things to balance

And that's not bitchable HOW?

I'll play Overthrow and Dota 10v10

10v10 will be so fucking insane, and I legitimately can't think of what Dota imba can do to top this shit besides talents that actually change every spell
>Dota imba lets you move Zeus' nimbus cloud

>a better HUD
t. Riot

reminder that hon still exists and is still the best moba out there, for those that have finally understood what icefrog is

Ancients have way better auras man, there's no even a contest there.
>thunderlisk aura combines both AS and damage aura, and you have slam + FREE MoM you can give to allies
>nigger dragons have macropyre and greater cleave for ultimate waveclear or magnus shanenigans
>lol max HP aura buff that gets better the higher armor you have
Don't know about the new camps. Lifesteal aura seems kinda meh but root attack pretty good.

The talent is unique and not as bad as invoker -15s cd from tornado

if I was that interested I'd look at the patch notes and work it out myself

>picked WR when minor buffs were there, won 20 of 25 games
>picked supp kunkka when minor buffs were there, won 30 of 39 games

meta not usually hard to work out desu, just take a stab and if it works go with it in pubs

i think the talents will actually offer new balancing avenues to valve. this way they dont have to make huge changes to heroes, they can tweak the talents to make the hero weaker or stronger at certain points in the game etc

What will happen to all the HUD items I bought from market?

There's no point in bitching about it, it's horrible and will probably never be fixed, maybe in another ten years with patch 8.00

people said this when comback mechanics came out/spell scaling became a thing
within a week or two people will stop bitching and move on, and anyone that sells their items and quits is a fucking child that can't handle change

pulls are every 2 minutes now
im actually not sure if there even is an offlane anymore
THE MADMAN

WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO DOTA

NO NO NO NO NO ICEFROG HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING ANYMORE

TAKE IT ALL BACK I DONT WANT THIS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS HOTS BULLSHIT

which talents are the most useless, and which are the most OP?

This works, yes.
But everyone else is complaining that the things to memorize is becoming more casualized. What perspective are you even coming from?
>massive
Have you seen what Doto has dealt with for the past several years?

Me too, Thanks.

So many FUCKING shitters complaining right now.

those bazongas :O

At least give option to reverse it so you can have the massive shit at top if you play Dire.

The old HUD did nothing wrong.

>30 attacks to destroy
>applies zeus static storm

>AA
>Gold per minute at level 10

easiest aghs/refresher of my life

not really, it makes this easier to balance with things like this, you're just looking at it in a vacuum

I hope there's some sort of legacy system in place for custom games because otherwise a lot of them will probably be fucked.

70% of the talents are so shit I rather take more skills instead

The really good ones are 25 only and probably can only be used by carries or extreme lategame games (which the patch doesn't even favor because less memeback gold)

>loli slut gets porn immediately
>no good Goodkind porn

ok

Cooldown reductions work on items, its broken as fuck
Respawn timer is mediocre or shit on everyone
XP Gain is situational
Gold/min is situational

I think the hero who got the best TWO options is Lycan or maybe AA

IT TOOK YEARS TO BE IN A GOOD PLACE IN TERMS OF.BALANCE AND PICK DIVERSITY, ICEFROG ONLY HAD TO BUFF 10 OR SO HEROES AND NERF ILLUSION SPAM, THATS IT
WTF WAS. HE THINKING?

besides taking up 1/3rd of the screen?

god forbid I'd actually want to see that stuff, right?

>this patch
>health/mana bars on the bottom
>stats removed
>can't even see stat bonuses or reductions
>buffs/debuffs/auras are now circle icons in a random position
>item icons are smaller because of the backpack

PATCH OUT TOMORROW NOT TODAY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

How does adding 800 more choices make it easier to balance?

It shouldn't even be in the game, at the very least every hero should have the same tree of choices

All icefag needed to do was scale down the old hud and make it smaller. literally keep it the exact same but take up less screen space. this man is so fuckign BAD!

>looking for waifus in dumpster\
leaf loli is better TBOQH SENPAI

Customs were added with panorama UI, so the new UI shouldn't break them.

You wont pick it up but it's related to a bug, not the patch notes and if you are skillful enough you can get 100% winrate with it.

If you're on my steam PM me and I'll tell you.

Was watching Lumi's stream. You can literally pull the medium camp near radiant tier 2 safe lane now, in addition to pulling the small camp into medium camp near radiant tier 1 safe lane. 2 minute respawn time won't matter for radiant if that's the case. Dire doesn't have the same luxury.

All they had to do was get rid of the wasted space on the old hud, and maybe make it a LITTLE smaller.

Not this dumb minimalist bullshit where you can't even see your stats unless you HOLD ALT. And you can't see your base damage separated from your bonus damage, at all.

can't wait to play the game it looks fucking fantastic

>timber still good
>when anyone can buy rod of atos and make him useless

Nobody even knows if Goodkind is male or female yet.

Do we know when the patch goes live?

And i think talents are blown out of proportions in their impact, half the time 20/25 talents do not matter probably. And the lower talenst seem to give 1000g on average worth of stats per hero, so its not that big of a deal.

what is your point

whoever is making all these new graphic design changes needs to be fired

the stun bar was the beginning of the end

didn't you just post this?

cya later kid i'm sure valve gonna miss ur 1 game a week lmao

Damn that's hot.

anyone have nara pics

I like Slardar and I like Viper

love this patch

hey goys I have some talent ideas:
>Abaddon
Borrowed Time now also heals nearby allies for a percentage of the healing you receive OR Curse of Avernus now also lowers enemy's armour and magic resistance
>Axe
Culling Blade threshold doubled OR Percent Damage return during Call (stacks with Blade Mail)
>Anti-Mage
Mana Break now deals Pure Damage OR Spell Shield now has charges similar to raindrops
>Alchemist
BAT lowered to insane amount during chemical rage OR Chemical Rage permanently activated
