>dota

so am/dusa are fucking dead right

best waifu coming thru

Nth for Ilexa

Nth for patch is a good change

Reminder that the gulag is always wrong

the best feeling is when other heroes try to manfight you as Monkey King.
When you can pinpoint the moment they realize they've made a huge mistake and start running away.
There's no escaping the king.

It's too easy to get gold and exp now.

>braindead retards say "We've always kept playing after all the cuhrazy changes in the past"
>somehow this justifies the literally game altering changes in 7.00

Nothing in the past even comes close to 7.00. Even just ONE part of 7.00 (like the backpack or shrines) is bigger than anything in the past

>Each statue applies the slow from echo sabre and has its own independent basher cooldown, so each one can bash even if MK or the others are on cooldown

What did icefrog mean by this?

How do you build AM this patch?

Do you think that ignoring Battlefury and going for Mjollnir instead is good now that illus benefit from the attackspeed and it works with mana break?

like treads - maelstorm - vanguard- manta- mjollnir ?

ICEFROG IF YOU CAN HEAR ME
POST HERE
VALVE IS NOT WATCHING
WE CAN SAVE YOU

>win three major events
>get called bigshitty n0brain
>win thesummit and some other shit no one actually cares about
>/d2g/'s official ourest guy #1 mid #1 palyer ever
????

Yep, that comic is fucking ancient and still relevant to this day

its pretty easy to pinpoint the part where at level 2 you hit them for 600 HP in damage over 2 hits during a 0.5 second stun
in the span of 1 second their hero simply disappears

>illus benefit from the attackspeed
OH SHIT I MISSED THIS WAIT IS THIS REAL?

This is Donald Trump's America and Icef=Frog is going to Make Dota Great Again

Get with it or get out

why is everyone saying this patch turned it into league of legends

outside of some HUD shit it's literally nothing like league, it's like you're just looking for stuff to bitch about

and why in the world would "it's Dota 3 now" be a valid complaint

hey

>everything rich as fuck after 20 minutes
>an OP primate jumping around killing everyone
yeah, im not playing for a couple of weeks

does mjollnir proc aswell?

BEST GAME

>build ac + mjolniah on ck
>assrape someone with 6 million attackspeed illusion
*laughs in 4*

>Monkey King uses Trees to get around
>Techies hides bombs in Trees
>Monkey King has to sit on trees for the duration required to blow up Proxy Mines
>Ded

you cannot save me i turned to the dark side now

>try to watch esports in game
>game crashes

>sentinal heroes and scourge heroes being pickable by both sides
>buy backs
>aegis being turned from an item you can make to a drop by roshan
>cheese

There's been tons of game changers. Hell I think at one point you couldn't even get to the river from the side lanes. Only the jungle and mid had routes to it.

Is he right dotards?

>cut trees
>4 second stun

everyone is ck with a quelling blade

icetoad pls fix

> "Some (((greedy thieves))) have tried to lure people away by stealing some furniture inside of the house and making it their own, but the furniture loses it lusty sheen as soon as it leaves the Dota house."

What EXACTLY did Merlini mean by this ?

Armlet with Vlads is the new way to go.

What is with all the shitters saying Monkey King is overpowered?

yes
their attack speed is fixed at once per 2 seconds however

no he's a retarded reddit valve shill

nice fours
can I have some?

EVERY TIME I TURN ON A STREAM THESTUPID BROWSER RAM USAGE GOES UP UP UNTIL IT FREEZES AND CRASHES

WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN

cumstains on the couch are a good memory to some and disgusting mess to other

i should have posted this image with it
fug my ass m8

Ilexa?

More like "I'll Sex 'er"

give me the female Invoker already

>Enigma, Brood, NP, Lycan, Nightstalker

Good luck killing spiderlings, idleons and treants with like 600 hp and having reduced vision...

he probably had contact with pendragon back in the day
no one likes pendragon
not even leaguebabies

That just got changed.

Is Icefrog punishing the world for the USA's election result?

go boots oov force staff then gank all possible lanes as crazy as you can then get veil asap forget the lens, get lvl 15 and activate ooga booga gibsmedat. from there you can chimp out with ags, blink or whatever. also try to steal as many bounty runes from the enemy jungles as much as you can. literally go full nigger on them.

>go skywrath mage mid
>rush midas
>get the basic stuff with the extra gold
>hit 15 and get FREE gold
>build aghs
>become death, destroyer of worlds

This shit should be a war crime.

Sort of. The new hud is salvageable, but lack the glanceability that the old on had

Trying to remember some more

>tp scrolls
>side shops
>courier and bottle
>runes
>MEK nerf making it not stackable


There's literally tons of updates that changed the game drastically.

this guy is a disgusting reddit fag and the UI is the least of the LEAST of the problems. UI and bugs and performance always get fixed quickly.

because twitch source mode is shitty.

set it to lower resolution or use youtube if a youtube alternative stream exists

You've seen the changes.

What do you think?

luna.jpg

yeah, none of those changes even compare to stuff in 7.00. Not even close

>not I'll sex 'ya'
fuck sake user

he appears to be implying there are people of Jewish heritage working at Riot games

>Runes
I remember when Bounty Runes got introduced this place was up in flames.

I feel like if they fucking just left the UI the way it was nobody would care nearly as much

>hud was too tiny
>so they changed nothing except enlargening it
he's just proving my point that the new hud is garbage and backstepping

Luna is not nearly farmed enough at 4 min.

>bottles
>buy backs
>runes
>hero pool being available for both sides
>aegis

These are literally things that matter WAY more than stupid shrines.

No hate symbols allowed in the gulag

don't do it again

improving the UI is the right idea
the execution is not
bud atleast valve is getting so much feedback right now, and everyone seems to pretty much agree on what needs to be done, so it SHOULD be an easy fix

can you increase the HUD?

please delete this image please we dont allow hate memes on /d2g/ or Veeky Forums

can you increase my hud, bud?

no it didn't
you can go in game and build basher on MK right now and every single statue attacks with its own cooldown

Shrines mean you keep some degree of map control over your side of the map until all your t2s are down. That's far more significant than the heal they provide (which is also a big change).

Yes. Reminder that /d2g/ is an irrelevant safe space for spergies that are always wrong.

i saw all the recent changes and i never went up in flames
>bounty runes
>cooldown reduction
>amplifying base stats like attack range, cast range, bat
>reducing the gold of everything so it's almost free
>buffing supports over and over
but 7,00 is too much even for me
i played four games that's enough

Make the rune system back to the way it was. Nerf exp gain. Game fixed.

why, i am just a little angel who would do mommy no wrong,

So now you just get some levels in lane then run at the enemy team and fight until win? Farming and splitpushing is off the table now?

Outer Shrines bounty reduced and are now vulnerable after all T1 fall

yes or no?

just the fact that neutrals respawn every two minutes is bigger than almost all of those combined

not to mention that sentinel/scourge hero pools were only in Dota 1, so its not even applicable

any patch analysis yet? im not playing this shit

I have read the D2G instruction manual but I can't seem to find the paragraph on the outlawing of green frogs, it appears I must investigate the issue further

How do I start playing support in this game, transitioning from League?

I was told two things:
>"Mana costs in Dota compared to LoL are suffering so most of your damage will actually be autoattacks and not skills"
>"Supports aren't healbots, they're disgusting damage dealers who happen to have buffs on the side"

Assuming this is right, is there anything else I need to know?

>I remember when Bounty Runes got introduced this place was up in flames.

and they were right desu, look where we are now

>play am
>brown boots -> headdress -> treads -> battlefury -> finish hotd
>stack ancients with creep then get a frostmage later
>end game with 1074 gpm
Ummm dotards? How is this balanced?

You made Hillary lose, which literally killed LD with Alzheimers.

changes like aegis or buybacks or runes being added is similar to the shrines being added, the shrines aren't the main focus of complaints since they could add to the game
but talents and buffing overall gold and xp gain is something else entirely

What? You claimed that literally no change in the past compared to even small things like shrines or backpacks, and you've been proven that there have been tons of changes that had even bigger impact than those 2 things.

And? TP scrolls weren't a thing at one point. Being able to instantly show up in a new lane was a game changer. I bet there were tons of people who thought they were completely stupid and broke dota.

Ok then all the extra jungle camps changed the game as well. There used to be only 2 camps on each side and ancients.

Make them vulnerable after three of the four (or even all four) towers in the adjacent lanes are down, IMO.

hey guys, here's a neat little fact that definitely will get nerfed or removed next patch

donkey kong's statues attack inside chrono

just watch the bulldog twitch vod
ignore the purge "analysis" because its 8 fucking hours long and it contains a shitty 4k mmr autist nearly falling asleep while reading

make so that if the bot tier 2 tower falls, that shrine is vulnerable, same on top
there, game semi fixed

watch bulldogs from 2 days ago
>6 treants

7.00 should be a game mode. This is atrocious.

jesus this stupid valve shill redditor cuck and his retarded face annoys me
fortunately its not anywhere close to how triggered he was after tons of """debates"""" through twitter his candidate hillary lost elections

>I'm an autist that is unable to form my own opinion on things so I wait for others to form them for me

>ignore the Purge Analysis because its 8 fucking hours long
>Bulldogs Analysis is 7 hours long

thanks ill try it out

It's in the appendix you shitter

4min is like the end of the laning phase in 7.0, you should be roaming with your team killing things by then

bulldog isnt a fucking shitter though

No shit there are been game changers in the past. You're severely downplaying the impact of shrines on the game, though.

town portal scrolls were a foundational element of warcraft 3 you moron, stop talking about shit you don't know anything about

He at least tries stuff and does not calculate 3+5 every 30 seconds.


>Also UI is shit

wow it's like /d2g/ is nothing but underage memelords that still think frogs and emoji are a cool funny meme or something
