first

why aren't you playing treant

Help /d2g/, is poison attack affects buildings actually good or should I just go +80 Viper Strike?

Its a worse liquid fire you dont get until level 25

+80 on his ult is also shit.

Talents were a bad idea

I don't play dota anymore.

Talents were a good idea.

Viper Strike is arguably much more useful. Even without Agh's.

it's actually way worse than I thought

>Wake up
>It's another HUD update
Damge, armor and MS is farther then before, nice.
Backpack is in another position, so it doesn't align with the rest of the item slots.
Yet still no STRAGIINT. What are they thinking?

Last night my fps was playable at around 80fps after todays update I'm getting 20-30. Thanks!

The graph is trending upwards since the 7.00 drop you uneducated mongol.

Why do you care about str agi int? Stats don't matter. There's no difference between strength agi and int heroes.

do illusions still crash games

real talk d2g

all of those saying the game got turned to lol hots have no idea what theyre saying

just played my first game in 7.00 and it was full of clusterfuck and le burden of knowledge that wouldnt ever get past lols balancing philosophy
headache after 5 games and happened when i as new to the game too

t. playing doturd for 8 years

Can someone please screenshot the hud with and without alt pressed?
I don't have it installed right now but I would like to see what the current one looks like after all these updates.

>all these people bitching about going from one billion FPS to like 60-80
>been playing at 30-35 FPS since the beginning
Fucking first worlders.

post em

>that bulldog game
lmao

had silky smooth 20-25 fps pre-patch and have silky smooth 20-25 fps now, loading times went from ~2 mins to 10 seconds
im actually first world uni student so thats why i have toaster pc

>loading times went from ~2 mins to 10 seconds
This, fucking this.
I don't give a fuck about FPS, but the loading times are heavenly now.

This is what the health and mana should look like

debate me

...

what's the fucking number next to magic resistance in the ui?

I actually really like the new UI. Everything's so crisp, but the hp/mana bar and minimap being different heights really triggers me.

Also, as ex-Hontrash I use ALT+Q,W,E,A,S,D for items and having all the stats and neutral camp spawnboxes constantly pop up is so fucking annoying, especially with treads on a spammy hero.

Loading times are still the same. It just loads in the background during all those flashy pregame animations.

Attack speed.

Need level 5 talents
The lvl 10 talent comes too late
I need mana and hp
Help

How can I make the creep spawn box appear again? For stacking purposes early game

>attack speed takes priority over stats
kek

It no longer forces me to open up a bot game in advance just so I can load in time for a real match or have it freeze and disconnect at the last hero pick.
So yeah, I'm fairly pleased.

fuck off, andymage is already broken with his aghs
uhh, press alt like before? may be your options got fucked up if it doesn't work

hahaaha nerf monkey nigger

The game has gotten more fast paced and intense while maintaining Dota levels of complexity, which would not get through LoLs gatekeeping under any circumstances.

best waifu coming thru

I don't like the new open jungle

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land?
this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

Why do we love Pugna so much?

the only thing I don't like is the experience gain and the rest is still doter

t. 10 year old dotard

But that's wrong

anyone tried converting multiple ancient satyrs + wraith king?

>110% aura lifesteal

>playing low int gain heroes without attribute bonuses
is this what true suffering feels like?

>CM destroys the last rax because +50 dmg on bulldog's stream

The absolute mad man

death bounties have already been reduced
also memefighting has been nerfed throughout the patches

yeah xpm got higher but thats not the case for gpm


maybe itll get nerf once the patch settles

MSI Afterburner + Rivia Turner seems to trigger VAC warnings on dota 2 for me
anyone else having this problem?

no because were not ruskies

SKADOOSH
MAH NIGGA
TRIGGERED
+ 6 TREANTS LMAO

Everyone knows Soe is the best waifu. Look at that god tier foot.

>being this triggered over a fat autistic memer
lol

You know an awful lot for someone ironic

We're living in a post fact world, cuck, don't tell me how to interpret my data. It says what I feel to be true in my heart

Is Veno a good counter to Monkey King?
His poison should keep the monkey from jumping to trees.

why so dead dotards

the initial shock of the patch is over, no memesports are on right now, and america is asleep

Thanks user.

Real talk, I played lol for years before switching to dota. You're legit wrong. The biggest thing that separates the two is the willingness to allow for a player controlled meta versus an artificially reinforced one, and the willingness to allow for heroes with huge strengths in specific scenarios.

If you think otherwise on either point I can guarantee you you never played lol long enough to understand it or see how they're balance patches play out

>tfw you're a good cookie

>win game
>but also a toxic cunt
>still sent to low prio


DOTARDIDOS?

how does supporting work this patch? fuck stacks, just roam?

>toxic
hello lolbabby

>cunt
>sent to low prio
I don't see the issue.

What's your secret, user

i bet you like dick you fucking cock gargler

This is true.
Their developers constantly enforce their own meta
and """""""vision"""""" of the game. If you find a fun and creative new way to play a character and this shit gets popular you can be damn sure your "loophole" will get patched or the character just outright nerfed without giving him any compensation. This happens along with a bullshit "here is our reasoning" text in the patchnotes that does nothing more than spout memes in order to satisfy redditors with the changes.


I am actually still very grateful for 7.00
Patches here are way more pleasant than in lul.

this

but i carried those games la, isn't dota about performance and not being christian?

should i?

>pick earth spirit
>lose
epic

>if you play as Lone Druid or Meepo you can't see your LH/D and K/D/A

Bravo, Volvo!

>monkey king's model looks cool
>his voice acting is far and away the best in this game
>cool kit

>he's op as fuck and WILL be nerfed to obscurity
lame

let me know when the chat bug is fixed, dotards
this game is literally unfuckingplaybale until it gets fixed

>play autistic heroes
>complain
bravo user!

earth spirit is actually trash right now

On what planet is LH/D and KDA is relevant stat during the game?
>Gold is relevant
>Enemy level is relevant
>Your current streak is relevant
Your ebin bragging numbers are not relevant.

>this is how cucks actually think

your post completely agrees with what ive stated

ie game is never turning into lol
idk why you sounded like you corrected but you did it the other way around

The Poison Attack is good, it ads a 28 DoT to buildings and slows down the attack speed of towers. Considering Nethertoxin works (half damage compared to heroes) on buildings it makes Viper a decent at killing them.

As for Viper Strike it increases the damage from 725 at level 3 to 1125.

Viper Strike is generally more useful as a BKB piercing slow though, but the damage is still really nice.

why are you complaining about MK when new lycan exists

Has 7.00 made Doom not shit?
I miss playing him then actually winning

Pisseasy to get an all green summary if your behavior score is already good. Now go try that with a sub 8k score.

Because WEWUZKANGSANDSHIEET shits on lycan

>this is a lolbabby comprehension

Are phoenix and clockwerk shit too? I come back to this game and all my favorite heroes are inside a trashcan

>no poo in loo hero
uh dotards?

>Real talk
>>>/reddit/

what are THE optimal talents for DOOOOOOOOM?

I think I've won 3 and lost 1 ES games since 7.00.

His talents are actually okay but his skills should do more damage or he should have more armor.

We wuz Hindus and shit?

>SingSing listening to weeb shit
um dotards?

pretty sure it's the opposite actually

Fuck that i just wish his remnant cooldown wasn't so fucking high so you weren't restricted to 1 high commitment teamfight every 5 minutes

Shadow shaman

Eat ancient and acquire the root and armour break or armour aura with fire or lifesteal aura lmao. You can now become WE WUZ SKELETON KANGS

He can actually Devour ancients now if I read the patch notes right, but only with a level 25 talent, we'll see with the new experience changes

the +health% aura is pretty good too

Just re-use the remnant you use to silence to roll, you'll keep your reserve remnants much higher.

his donation sound is from fucking steins gate, what's so surprising

He wuz chink and shit

Monkey King has superior taste for the superior sister
