IS NEW SLARDAR A CONTENDER FOR SEXIEST HERO NOW

I have about as much respect for this patch as I do for the dogshit on my shoe. It is reddit. It is capeshit. It is video game hotpocket. It is cheeto dust. I'm literally screaming right now and slamming my arms down on my desk just thinking about it.

It is the most depraved video game infantilized manchild degeneracy. It is saturday morning cartoon. It is non-neurotypicality. It is memes. It is video game. It is SJW. It is Walter White. I am seething.

Anime Naga eating Slardar in fish form

pick veno, OM or sniper to wreck sun wukong's life desu

Game is evolving in a good way, shitters that can't handle changes are mostly newfags

(maybe not even another sleep if you're in the eastern hemisphere, or if you're on the east coast in NA and wake up really early)

Daily reminder there's NO icefrog.

I can't wait to play Brood now

nice try but it's the exact opposite

Slark always held that title.

Just look at him where the update page describes the changes to root mechanics.

Delicious.

the aesthetics of the game is still close to the bloated wc3 shit though
i like both the ui and the graphics but they dont fit each other

/d2g/ I am lost on slark in this patch. QB and Root are nerfs, but his talent tree baffles me. At first I thought that it's a pure shit, but then I calculated lost stats points vs stat upgrades and it was actually slightly better overall. Then I thought that at lvl 15 you could have +30 damage and +15 attack speed and hit on average for 86 without items and further +25 attack speed by miles outweighs lost 15 agi stats.

But then I saw other carry's talents that offer 2 times more than slark's shitty upgrades and lvl 25 talents that make you rice to them. All slark got is either stats or some really shitty, half assed upgrades like 10% lifesteal, WHY, or pounce leash increase. Such a fun and versatile hero, with such a boring an uninspiring talent tree. Oh, and he will be still raping pubs and sub 5k.

just equip HUD skins bro.

SIX

Overall impression of the patch is it's ok.
I don't like the UI at all.
The talents right now need a little bit of balancing, but overall ok.
I'm not keen on the shrines, but like the secondary objectives and how they provide map control by being able to tp to them.
overall I rate it 7 out of 10

>doom still doesn't have armor

TREANTS

DESIGNATED

ILEXA IS FOR ROUGH DOGGY STYLE AND CUMMING ON HER FACE

i can't download the test client to check (slow ass aus internet):

do any other heroes than morphling have custom UI for their skills?

they change half the UI while leaving the top bar, the shop menu, the item/skill affecting you icons, the hero name, the stats and the kill / events announcements the same
completely clashes

it's dec 12th
where is patchu?

>yfw even skywrath mage has more starting armor than doom

hahaha, doomtards

>backpack
Worst idea ever, y/n?

Do not lewd my daughter

>dotards still have same SHIT matchmaking from 2011 with boosted accounts(every 3rd one) and retarded punishing system


Hahahahah

But /d2g/ doesn't care because you are all 3k shitters playing unranked

>pros love the patch
>high mmr players love the patch
>analysts love the patch
>majority of gulag loves the patch
>reddit loves the patch
>normalfags who play for fun love the patch

>shitposters like tiago, adelaide, psg, and that guy who spams the same obnoxious images every thread don't like the patch
>the usual couple overreactionary retards who promise to uninstall but reinstall every week hate the patch

hmmmmmmmmmm makes me think

Not really unless the map size stayed the same as previous patches

its one of the best ideas

Is mid Chaos Knight significant worse because of the reality rift change?

thought that its broken as fuck at first but i doubt that it'll have too much of an impact, bkb slot for carries and smoke/ward slot for cuckports
6 mins cd is too much for refresher desu

>trying to get the leage fans to play your ASSFAGGOTS game
R
>ever
Dota could unironically be thrice as good a game than league and they'd STILL not switch

best waifu coming thru

i love how autists claim to be marvelous at the game but i see no one from vg playing at pro level

>these small children think they can win, but we were small children too we know how they think
I love sing sing and his quotes of wisdom

>steal the talent trees from HoTS
>steal the shinres from HoTS
>steal the map changes from LoL

again it seems like Valve is creative bankrupt this happens because they don't have real work force lets hope they never do HL3.

Name heroes who even used early extra stats instead of maxing spells

so far i havent seen any feedback from pros expect sing making fun of how its from hots/lol
and zai is being positive towards it

Bro, just try another HUD skin then. There's plent yof them that suit all tastes.

Great idea.
As a support you have Literllay NO EXUCSE not to carry a salve in your backpack at all times.
Or perhaps an Urn if it also gains charges while in the backpack.

Any info on the size of the patch?

WHO
IS
BEESA

how long till patch is live?

It's ok to be honest.
I think you shouldn't be able to swap teleport scrolls while you are using them and the cooldown should be increased a little bit.

Does anyone know if you can put tranquils in the backpack instead of dropping them while jungling?
If you cycle them back in and get hit do they go on cooldown while they are turned off?

N
Best idea to have come to the game in ages and completely changes item slot management. I love it because every role in the game benefits from it greatly
>tfw I can finally carry all the items I need as a support as well as support items
>tfw I can just have an endless supply of clarities in my backpack
Feels FUCKING GOOD man

Just like blizzard never ever steals ideas right?

>bongs can go to jail when viewing recent d2g memes

nu-Blizzard is also shit but nobody ask for the stuff Valve did if I want creative and good stuff you have to play From Software games.

they're all the same "bro"
none of them were designed with that minimalist shit in mind

I want to plant my seed in that seed

yeah senpai literal who

What are the meme-iest talents?
>lmao 150 damage
>1 second jinada cooldown
>mirana plays Contra

Blizzard is the worst thief of them all

kys tatsumaki is the worst girl

Bulldog reacted to it yesterday and he gave it a 9/10 with one point reduction for 6 treants

ssh nothing personnel kid

I like the patch though

No surprise I bet you are shitskin too

Play battleborn, hopefully that'll expedite your suicide you fucking faggot

they said they had already reworked the skins to what we have now

4s stun jakiro
22 eidolons

Can you still use custom huds with the new patch?

im from eastern yurop and would give half my life to live there

say that to my face kiddo

monkey king is actually so broken, what the shit?
cant w8 for the nerf

yeah they reworked the old huds to fit the new UI

Puck's 25s, both of them.
>Lmao 300gpm
>Illusory Orb becoming rocket-powered

reminder that 3k aussies beat bulldog

1k Australia = 4k EU

but how it compares to the six treants?

even if the patch is good it doesn't change the fact it's LITERALLY just stealing ideas from LoL and HoTS

Anyone sane knew it was a group of people from the very beginning and now they are joined by people from valve aswell

Sniper Aghs, Yes or No?

>all these fucking buffs to defending high ground

Whew lad why can't Icefraud ever find a balance between Deathball and taking 20 years to finish because you don't wanna push until your carry is six slotted and you have an aegis?

yeah they work on the minimap and the main HUD but not the rest

>Aether Lens doesn't upgrade into anything
>Echo Sabre doesn't upgrade into anything

1 JOB
Well, 2 jobs

fuck off cunt
we're full

...

>being this brain dead to watch bulldog

New low for /degenerates2g/

Wrong.

1k Australia = 500 EU

Now remind me how many Australian teams have won majors or TIs
