Why was techies removed from CM?

HAS ICEFRAUD GONE TOO FAR

>blinks behind you
>leaves swing and make sound
*shh* nothin' personel, little boy

I abused the shit out of that grace period in my last match. It's basically a reliable stun for blink Treant.

Just for measure. Often reworked heroes get added back in a minor patch soon after the main one

because he has a seven second aoe silence

They need to make it so that when you click "SHOP" and start typing it starts searching the item whatever.

Quality of life

because he got a skill rework

How would you make QoP worth picking?

best waifu coming thru

>win 4 games in ranked in a row
>cause 3rd worlders are still downloading 6gb of patch
>they have to wait 12 hours cause of their shitty internet while i finished mine in half an hour

>>>>>>>>>>>>region lock wont help the game valve said

free bash?

Visage

ahriposter was better desu

Smoene please make a reddit thread or soemtning im triggered it wont work liek this

>buy rapirka
>about to die
>put it in stash

nice game dotards

What are the implications of having a guaranteed stun on Treant, especially if you can do it away from trees? Does this change anything or is he still garbage?

what should i build on zeus?

>making up a story
>lying on the internet

Early game blink buffs

Maybe Talents for Ult to be not shit

>what is patchnotes
try harder

I assume you mean backpack and you can't put the Aegis, Divine Rapier or Gem into it.

Don't worry guys, DotA hasn't changed a bit

make ulti magic damage, up values a little bit to compensate and make the it not have a fuckhuge cd without scepter

bottle / soul ring / arcane boots into: bloodstone, aghs, refresher

What did he mean by this?
Storm spirit confirmed gay?

>shitters in last thread saying there's no grace period for tree bash
get fucked

It's probably mostly about just having a stun because heroes that don't do damage and don't have stuns are worthless. It's a pretty good stun but it NEEDS blink dagger to work.

Posted in the wrong thread

Anyone else finding that their framerate is fucked now?

what did you expect?

fuck off racist

Is. The game better or is it just different and people like the discovery.

why isn't single draft a ranked mode?

>aghs, refresher
are you memeing me or the new aghs is so good on him?
also does nimbus stacks?

You don't need blink dagger. The delay away from trees gives you almost a full second to reach your target, so unless your target is in the middle of the river you should still be able to stun enemies. Blink dagger just enables you to do it faster.

theres alot of youfisher with the patch notes out
you dont give em yous, red itor and stop being new

Different. Probably getting somewhat changed, the level 25 at 30 minutes shit is out of control

literally a global tp interrupt

Played only a game so I can't really tell. THe impression I got is that most of the changes, while not inherently bad, were totally unneeded and made just to shake things up a bit

Bottle / Soul Ring / Arcanes / Aether Lens / Blink / Veil / Aghs.

lamao free gold

>Requires 8 hits from ranged heroes to kill (4 from melee heroes

just buffs not skill reworks

If guardian greaves wasn't 100% core before, it's core now on necro because of his new W.

basically it lets you stop TPs, it lets you check roshan, it lets you deal a tiny little extra bit of damage against enemies in teamfights and also feed the enemy carry FREE gold

don't get it unless you need it

Played my 1st 7.00 match, was fun.

The new UI seems really fucking small though. Is there any way to make the minimap larger?

WHERE THE FUCK CAN I SEE MY MAGIC RESISTANCE YOU STUPID FUCK KEKS

hover over the stats

personal stats are bugged, yet you can see an enemy's stats
gg icefraud

Yes minimap is in the option

The other stuff should be further tweaked though, especially the ability and health bars

this fucking map

i keep on getting fucking lost

what the fuck am i doing

yes you can scale it up to the size you like it

awoo

Also, what do you guys think of soul ring on necrophos now? 225 mana seems bretty gud then you can instantly heal yourself for boosted numbers.

>PPD is a fucking CEO now
>he literally won more than anyone ever
>and then avoided the honeypot 7.00 to make even more money running the organization


he outplayed
everyone
SO
FUCKING
HARD
HOLY
FUCKING
SHIT

he's a literal strategical fucking genius

Oh god who fucking made this shit this is so stupid please fucking christ add all the information readily available insteaad of hover over/alt tab shit this sucks

To see magic resistance on old UI you had to hover

How do you dodge games now?

>600k online
>3 min queue times

fucking dedgame with a fucking jewish manipulating piece of shit

God damn it I can't fucking play this shit

It's fucked my framerate

thats how it was before

DUDE

MINIMALISM

LMAO

you cant have fun with the shit Valve (((((queue system))))

anyone have that necro OC of choosing between 40damage - 6 strengh

>Lycan averages 1000DPS if his 4 wolves stay alive
holy fucking shit icefrog

>soul ring for FREE HEALS, later built into a bloodstone
>greaves
>lotus orb
>sheepstick
>octarine
>aghs

how are you supposed to kill him

you do realize that doing so he litterally doomed NA doto to irrelevance, right?

>cheering because the guy that doomed your region is getting richer
what a cuck lol

holy shit u cant?
jesus fuck can this patch be any worse

get cancer

Just like furion's extra treants by the time you get them they are irrelevant, might as well be +4 wolves and +15 seconds ultimate would still outclass it.

While everyone was playing Dota, ppd mastered the draft

While everyone was learning the draft, ppd mastered the honeypot

While everyone was learning the honeypot, ppd had already become their ruler

He is playing on a different level than everyone else.

HOHO HAHA

OHOH AHAH

I now realize that the gulag would love One Outs.

dota is dying in the west

the only reason it looks "flat" is because westerners are being replaced by slavs on EU west and peruvians on US East/West

+4 mana regen on sniper is broken as fuck

free assassinates and shrapnels

is invoker any good now?

>playing against mid visage

Is this what hell is like?

where did you get this senpai

How would an Ilexa hero work?

>Can take the form of a regular creep but doing full damage, works like invisibility
>Ult allows her to control an AOE of creeps, like a creepwave or neutral camp

I just think a hero based around controlling creeps would be neat.

d2g

i'd honestly rather abandon

>everyone is hyped
>start game
>it's now HotS tier hero brawler with extra fountains on the map
>everyone is lvl 25 in under 30 minutes
>this dogshit UI that changed the position of every importanT stat, hid them behind pressing alt and is small as fuck
>screen even flashes blue for when you are still too dumb to realize you were stunned
What a fucking garbage patch, i'm not gonna be surprised if this costs valve half their players

everyone would love One Outs

because it's fucking great

Why?

What's with the 6.80 spike?

>I just think a hero based around controlling creeps would be neat.

Nigga i'm bout to PERSECUTE YOU

>5k ranked is filled with players who haven't played dota in 15 months

>play pos 4 roaming junglenigger
>have a charge left from my last fight
>walk to lane
>hit Q
>one-shot crystal maiden, bring her carry to 30% hp
>timber finishes off the carry
So why is this allowed and how long is this going to continue?
Even fucking earth spirit was not this obscenely broken, and earth spirit was fucking bullshit OP.

free hats i think

Yeah yeah, you know what I mean though.

We want the League of Legends audience even though it will kill our playerbase.

Welcome to neo-Valve.

Oreshaping with Radiant ore, maybe. Ties into the natural aesthetic, her nature as a creep, and the mind control aspect of the ancients. Creep conversion could be done with that.

how do I paly mid visage tsuntsun?

preferably has some connections in skill/response with donkey king since she looks upon him

>decide to get the new map cause i'm gonna be playing a ton of dota now
>immortal gardens worked fine, so it should probably be ok
>constant 30fps
Hmm, okay, well that was disappointing.

Probably the patch in general. It's fucked my framerate.

dont worry

the fps are fucked regardless

>wake up for some early morning dota before work
>6.2 GB update
This better be good. Is it good? Tell me it's good. Lie to me if you have to.

>multiple -lagians posting about bad framerates

will the bad performance keep thirdies from playing for a while

q-creep form
disguise as a creep/lane creep/neutral creep/any creep
w-??
heal allied creeps in an aoe+allied heroes for half as much
e-passive damage aoe/global maybe
enemy creeps and towers deal less damage while allied creeps and towers deal more
r-rally
cast on a set of rax, the current creepwave is coverted to mega creeps, if megacreeps are already in play then they are converted to ultra creeps (2x as strong)
can also be cast on enemy rax to disable their spawning, but only if their t3 is vulnerable
