XD

PPD owns EG

THIS TREE IS CUTE

CUTE

how r u guys enjoying the healing fountains?

i think theyre fucking terrible. they worked in hots because towers have limited ammo and siege heroes and objectives kill them so fast.

in this they just make every game take longer

"If these are too loose for you, then you don't get to fuck me! I'll have you drinking out of them once a real man is done with them."

Ok.

Who is that abomination? Why would I want to fuck it?

deny yourself

rmyt

nice bait, i rate it 9/10

>Crysis 1 max settings system requirements
Getting rid of the poor peruvians isn't a bad thing mate

Purge confirmed +6 treants is shit

patch will be live by the time i return to my computer
eta 10-30 min
no problem d2g

How about people who only play Dota so they play it on their cheap laptops instead of spending a thousand dollars on a new PC?

>+6 treants
what did icefrog mean by this?

>not enough trees
based Purge exposing AB's blatant lies

>Purge gets to +6 treants

>The only thing he's worried about is whether or not you can actually get 11 treants

>Not the fact that by the time you're level 25 they die in 1 second

lol.

Then that's too bad. Don't need people lagging in teamfights anyway

what does that matter? its about early game push increase

is the patch live yet

>early game
>lvl 25

late game is early game now. expect avg 70 min games

i've returned, expect patch in mere moments

any update on the situation dotards?

Ohhhhhhh, it's happening

>omni
>nerfs
He got buffed to fuck.
You lose 0/20/40/60 heal in exchange for using less mana. Longer cooldowns at levels 1 and 2 for the heal and repel is pretty forgettable level 1, but it's no longer dispellable so it's in essence a 7 second bkb.
This means if a unit is both repeled and guardian angel'd they are invulnerable except to bkb piercing pure damage. Which is limited to rupture, sunstrike, Lina Aghs and Pudge hook.

And at level 25 your purification goes from a MOAB to a tactical fucking nuke, 500 pure damage + spell scaling, whoah momma.
With everyone having less hp on average (unless they take all their +hp talents which means they're doing less damage) Purification goes to one of the strongest non ultimate spells in game. It's definitely top 5 if you take the bonus damage perk.
Only a handful of spells actually do more damage and it's the strongest single target heal in the game. Only Chen's heal is stronger, being a teamwide 400 strength heal.

Also on that note, Tiny is now the strongest nuker in the game if he takes the +200 avalanche damage talent. On a tossed target that's an extra 400 damage, so avalanche does 500 damage to all unit, 1000 damage to the poor motherfucker who got tossed, and then anyone at the impact takes another 500 Toss damage. 540 with Aghs.

1540 damage to a single target, 1140 damage to everyone in the 300 aoe.

>Level 25: +100 Battle Hunger DPS

Jesus. I guess it's ok to level it past one now.

PATCH

PATCH IS LIVE BOIS WE READY FOR HEROES OF THE DOTA LEAGUE

>6.6gb
WAT

DE

FUCKL

>6.6gb

holy fuck

6.89 --> 7.00

We 11 patch size big boys.

mfw i had to uninstall the test client to fucking download it

Icetoad can we please get a condensing update?

monkey king is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

MONKEY KING BUILDS GUYS

EXECUTION IS FINE BUT IM LOST ON WHAT TO BUILD, BEEN GOING ROA PHASE ECHO DESO SITUATIONALS BUT IDK DONT FEEL LIKE I DO ENOUGH DAMAGE (LOL).

which lane are you playing ? i'm mostly going mid with him.

How do I build Axe for jungle? Starting items?

OH MY GOD FUCK MONKEY KING IS STUPIDLY STRONG

6GB update and there isnt an option to bind the level up button the way you want it, lovin it

Monkey king is literally riven with a tail. Cancer spammer inbound.

my fps are shit

which is strange because the test client did not have this issue

u cant win vs veno now

I don't know what that's supposed to mean but they should probably tone down the jingu damage

>mfw 3 arrows

>Just beat misery

I love this patch already!

D2g patch launch shit posting is actually the worst shitposting desu

when is epsorts, the supreior d2g posting, back on?

REVERT TO 6.7x OR THE DUMB FROG GETS IT

can PPD make EG great again as CEO?

What's everyone's first impressions so far? I honest to god love this patch. The new ui is a bit confusing tho

1st President Dager

JINGU BELLS
JINGU BELLS
JINGU ALL THE WAY

the changes themselves are not nearly as painful as Veeky Forums being reddit central too
it hurts my soul deep inside

>tangential nationalismposting is better than gameposting
literally fuck yourself and post pics qt :3

>6.88
>dota is the most balanced it has ever been
>7.00
>icefrog changes literally everything about the game for no reason

can someone please explain this to me?

Need some more tinkering with the UI but otherwise the map is so confusing again.

you can tell if an enemy is an illusion because their minimap arrow is white

>Ready to launch in approximately: 0 seconds
GAME IS STUCK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Am I the only one really titled by the jungle spawn every other two minute change?

There are never creeps in the jungle anymore and stacking / farming patterns are just so confusing now.

shhhhh buy hats

APOLOGIZE

>What should have happened
Patch notes are released and update hits the testing client on the 5th
A whole week of rigorous bug fixing goes on, with reddit testing it and point out flaws FOR FREE so that valve can fix it with ample time
>What happened
Hit the testing client on the 11th
Valve scrambling to fix everything before the 12th
Update rushed out literally a half hour before the work day ended
BUGGY UNPLAYABLE MESS HOLY SHIT

>6.88
>balanced
lel, nice try plebbit

>40 fucking minute queue

I just want to play one fucking game of best mode but nobody appreciates the depth, complexity, and FUN of best game mode, while Valve still doesn't give a fuck about the greatest thing they've added to the game since Bounty runes

I'm done. Good night

who cares fuck this game

its bad because the game is actually ruined this time

It was stale as fuck
>ever been
Nah, just because alot of heroes were picked 1-3 times at TI6 doesn't mean shit. The entire offlane concept was killed

I guess it's because IceFrog never lets people fully figure out how the game works before he changes it again.

>tfw too intelligent not to skill +6 Treants at lvl 25

Balanced is boring, Icefrog wants to work with more tools

>monkey king hero
>mkb isnt a core item
UHMMM
TURDS?

Thanks user

Enjoying the new patch /d2g/?

So, uh guys. Are loading screens just pointless now? I load into the pick screen immediately and then the game loads immediately. More importantly.
If valve had this technology from the start WHY THE FUCK DID THEY WAIT SO LONG TO PUT IT IN?

NEVER
BET
AGAINST
THE
FROG

>literally posts every patch

"b-b-but it r-really happened this time!!!"

the reaction d2g is having now is literally almost identical to the reaction it had when 6.88 was released.

>dota is the most balanced it has ever been
smelly, dumb redditor scum

it was fucking b o o o ri ng

AD needs to switch to a custom game, no one plays it and Valve also abandoned the idea of balancing it.

>Illusions give XP and Bounty

LMAO SDFDFS

But it basically is.

It's a perfectly valid option in most games and scales with all of his abilities.

...

>Balanced is boring

Literally the best game of dota in its history was 2 days ago

It is already inbuilt in his abilities

YES FUCK YOU I HAD MY LIFE BACK ON TRACK
