come back to wc3 friends

can we add mk to the list of heroes only selfish assholes play?

The patch was like what 4 gigs? Not everyone has downloaded it.

I checked at about 5pm gmt and it had 900k players on, I can guarantee it'll be 1 mill tomorrow.

I WANT MY FUCKING DOTA BACK

I HATE THIS NEW DOTA

WHY DO YOU TOSS AWAY LOYAL PLAYERS FOR HOPES OF NEW PLAYERS

ISNT THIS WHY ICEFROG DECIDED TO STICK WITH DOTA AND NOT JUMP SHIP WITH PENDRAGON FOR LEAGUE

WHY IS HE DOING IT NOW

WHY
WHY
WHY

THE NEW UI IS TRASH
THE NEW MAP IS TRASH

THE NEW GAMEPLAY TWEAKS MAKE THE GAME FEEL LIKE -EM


I MISS STATS, THE TALENT TREES ARE GREAT BUT NOW SOME HEROES WHO RELIED ON LEVELING STATS FOR EARLY GAME DAMAGE ARE FUCKED

WHY ARE WE HOMOGENIZING THIS GAME

WHAT THE FUCK

PLEASE SOMEONE

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING


WHERE IS ====""""MY"""==== DOTA 2 AT

PLEASE REVERT THESE GOD AWFUL CHANGES

ICE FROG PLEASE

THE NEW UI IS AWFUL
THE NEW MAP LAYOUT IS AWFUL (WHY ARE THERE A BILLION STAIRS??)

I WOULD BE OKAY WITH SHRINE AND EXTRA RUNES, BUT THE MAP NEEDS SOME WORK, THE JUNGLES NEED SOME LOVE, WHY ARE THEY SO OPEN?????


GIVE ME MY OLD HUD
STOP HIDING SHIT BECAUSE IT "CLUTTERS", WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN HIDE BEHIND ALT? THE FUCKING SKILL TREE, YOU LOOK AT THAT 4 TIMES IN A SINGLE GAME, 4. WHY IS IT DISPLAYED AT ALL TIMES WHERE SOMETHING LIKE STATS WHICH ARE NEEDED TO CALCULATE DAMAGE WITH CERTAIN SKILLS ARE HIDDEN BEHIND ALT


I AM 100% CONFIDENT WHO EVER MADE THE UI DOESN'T EVEN PLAY DOTA

Do you still get urn on spectre now that hotd exists?

lick it up loser

>200k peak concurrent player loss out of 1.2 million
>the monthly players has actually increased to 13.4 million
>d-dead game!

>Summon Death Ward no longer automatically selects the death ward
Thank you for fucking up my WD ults suddenly valve.

nice frames per second you've got there dotards

top fucking rofl

>ripping off monkey king and the hud from league of lel while raping the performance

best update everrrr

le new journey begins TODAY

inb4 valve defense force

Nice patch, dotards.

have they nerfed monkey king yet

yes his passive now requires 20 stacks before getting the bonus

Ilexa.

get fucked

that 1.2 mil was literally inflated from the hat event as well, it doesn't represent the actual average peak conccurence of the game

is it a bad idea to confess your love to a highschool crush over facebook?

>nerf
>mk
Nigga, just nuke him down with a ranged carry

This is what I'm waiting for till I play again.

I'm not laning against this retarded hero.

300 range with that strong passive? Yeah okay Iceshit.

did Valve fix the creepscore overlapping with the spectator stats yet?

>Valve
>fix

Fear's stream is comfy as fuck

THERE ARE ACTUAL NEWFAGS IN THIS GENERAL CALLING DED GAME THAT PUT 2015 DOTA AS THE GOLDEN YEAR

Why do people seriously defend Valve?

Or any other company for that matter? Blizzard, Riot, etc. Every company's sole purpose out there is to make money. They really don't give a shit about the playerbase or the community and will always use them in order to make a fast buck whenever they can.

I just don't get it.

I WISH TO PLOW THE GROUND FROM WHICH ILEXA SPRUNG AND THEN FARM HER FATHER

>creepscore
that's a fucking LoL term, you babby.
cs stands for creep STATS in dota.
in dota 1 you could type -creepstats or -cs to display your creep stats.

>b-but the wiki says otherwise
the wiki is fucking shit and does not use the correct term.
borkweb.com/story/dota-game-modes
dota-blog.com/2008/01/dota-allstars-game-command-mode-guides.html
look at the dates of these links. then take a look at this screenshot.


calling 'cs' 'creep score' is like calling a 'dota like' game a 'moba'.

but keep calling it 'creepscore' if you want, it makes it easier for others to identify you as a nooblord.

>average peak
FailFish

f-list.net/c/ilexa

If you get a lv 25 running a core Venge, is it ever worth it to pick the aura buff over another BKB piercing stun?

>cs stands for creep STATS in dota.

I always thought it was "creeps slain"

Let's get this shit going boys

PSG HERE

is pugna good? I can tell DP basically got nerfed again because they gave her the worst talents of any hero.

Really nigga +400hp? Not fucking +1 spirit siphon charge?

I always thought it meant Creeps Sustained

it's not defending valve, you fuckers have shitty arguments that would be presented to valve

>e-everything is league of legends now!!
>holy fuck a bug! this game will never possibly recover from this!

how about actual stull life

>valve not properly QA testing patches, despite the test client having 33k concurrent players at one point
>why do they abandon so many of the games features after launching them
>why do they not have a way for tournaments to play on old patches so teams aren't literally forced to play on a patch with like 12 hours of play time on it.

If you're ending the game quickly and your enemies are too dumb / can't afford to buy BKB and don't have other sources of magic immunity.

It is when 86% extra damage just isn't good enough for you.

just suck everyones dick till u die with her ult

There are also actual redditors in this thread that think the reddit patch that was 6.88 was balanced. People are retarded

>uneducated gaymer neet 4channers claim to know more about ergonomic UI design than paid professionals

you should start a career in interface design my man you'll be a millionaire within a year with your hot skills lmao

???

the average of the years monthly peak concurrents

stop trying to manfight monkey king you shitkids
>hurr durr maybe walking up to him for the 36TH time WON'T result in my immediate death

Serious question, are their people that actually believe Monkey King isn't overpowered as fuck?

Boosters are already abusing him en masse.

>appeal to authority
ah
yes

hi psg

What the fuck? Valve hires ergonomic UI design pros? couldn't tell from the last fucking update.

>be pugna
>place nether ward in trees
>autowin teamfight
>melee hero tries to kill you
>lolnope, decreptify lifedrain
>spellcaster tries to kill you
>lolnope netherward and lifedrain
It's one of the most fair and balanced things I've ever seen

>have itch to play dota
>put it off because school and work
>save up money to go full time at school
>focus efforts on building portfolio
>have a little off time during holidays
>finally get around to play dota 2
>it's a completely different game revamped to play like league of legends

This makes me incredibly sad, I want my Dota 2 back.

Is there a guide for WC3 Dota around?

lets not....

Why is Fear not in china with the team?

MK isn't as OP as he seems, it's all the mongloids that don't realize he is goodUrsa trying to manfight him and dying 10 times in 5 minutes.

>waah why can't i see all of the useless information all the time :(
>i fucking HATE seeing more of the actual game xD

I want to use Ilexa as a toilet to help fertilize her!

been demoted to stream monkey apparently
seems like ppd was the true juden all along

I like the new Ui but having hero stats on by default isn't useless info

Just in case you weren't aware there's a 3 game mini LAN with Wings, Newbee, EG and DC starting in 6 hours.

Posting lebbit shill posts in here? Wew.

>shitty arguments that would be presented to valve

Valvo doesn't give a shit to what the players say or want. They never did.

Did you missed the part of my post where I said that all these companies want is to make money?
None of them care about what the players that play their games want.

They change, add and remove things according to their own studies and preferences under the interest that it will make them more money. That's all there is to it, plain and simple.

They will never listen or admit to be wrong on anything. And if something doesn't go according to their expectations, they will just curve-ball it until the players get accustomed to it, as they have always done so for years now.

There is literally no point in presenting anything whatsoever because 99% such things are discarded and in the eventuality of that 1% that doesn't, the devs will exploit it for their own interests while laughing at your backs.

Fucking get a clue of reality already, nerd.

Why not just hide everything, even the gameplay behind holding alt?

You don't NEED to see the game to play it

No, it's because he's new and morons like you don't know how to fight him
>pick any ranged nuker
>O shit, no passive stacks
>press buttons
>ded kang
He dies to literally Lina

why do you assume it's from reddit my man

is that a twitch emote
fucking subhuman

>watch rise of the planet of the apes and dawn of the planet of the apes
>decide to play dota, first time this patch
>end up jungling
>enemy monkey king jumping from tree to tree in my jungle
this is too much

>>it's a completely different game revamped to play like league of legends
What happened, I thought Dota 2 was about being "better than the imitators'

Because it's from lebbit you motherfucking degenerate cow. Fuck off.

thanks Soe poster

If RTZ doesn't win this one he's going to kill himself

they dont need a dota 2 coach anymore since this game is no longer dota obviously

>that or all eg members share a certain amount of stream time as a group and fear is filling in the qouta for arteezy zai crit sumail, maybe even ppd was helping

>Want to learn
>Guilt of dragging the team down cripples me
>End up not playing
WHO HERE TOO ASHAMED OF BEING THE ANCHOR TO GET GOOD?

lol

>3 games
>4 teams
How does that work

>it's from lebbit
how would you know unless you browse reddit yourself my man

he was this fair and balanced before just nobody wanted to play him because they're too stupid to buy treads

hey:3

whats up gulag

The people strawmanning an shitposting to defend the new HUD or slander the old one are insane
Maybe control your camera better you third world mongoloid, so you dont have 15 Slarks hiding behind your HUD

ive been reading on how to boost low self esteem and removing anxiety hope you take the time to figure it out also

Two semi finals and a final.

>2 teams play one game
>2 play another
>winners play each other
>winner wins
try not being retarded in the future friend

Play with friends user
You do have friends yes?

Now it's imitating the imitators because ???
??? nobody knows. Shills ride on the valve dick for no other reason than to be internet trolls.

you are mentally ill
seek help

That looks awsome. What skin is that?

>i stare at my hero all the time instead of looking at the minimap and moving my camera FUCK THIS CLUNKY HUD RIGHT TIME TO PLAY LEAGUE OF STORM

NOBODY WHO KNEW SHE WAS UNTIL SHE fucked you up the ass with her 12 inch futa cock.

You're literally missing the entire point of my post, I really couldn't care less about what agenda you have against whoever. Im saying people are forcing issues in the wrong direction regardless of whether you believe they are listening or not. Which causes people who may be actually very critical of these companies to appear to be shilling for them.

off topic tho

>They will never listen or admit to be wrong on anything.

I mean they literally did after diretide, although that was an absolute fucking extreme scenario .

Is it possible to get 6.88 to play offline in lans and stuff?

heres how to deal with mk
kite him
burst him
disable his W from range with urn
there

lebbit is the honeypot of shills. I go there from time to time to take a shit. You got some left on you too.

old hud
>clunky
>interface design from fucking 2003
>hides half the screen
>doesn't even show magic resistance at a glance but retards still claim it showed more information

new hud
>sleek and fresh
>modern design, more in-tune with the the reborn design language
>shows as much of the actual game as possible
>shows magic resistance at a glance

>copying a more successful game in hopes to be successful is bad
Let's face it guys, Dota 2 was stagnating, dying even.
A new look and design from the ground up is needed to appeal to a wider audience. Valve is a business, they want to make money.
You don't matter, noone cares if you were loyal to Dota since WC3, that is irrelevant. You aren't giving valve money, you aren't buying flashy cosmetics that break the aesthetics of the game, you aren't buying the obvious cash grabs like siractionslacks announcer pack or rick and morty announcer pack. You are a leech, you play the game and never give back. New players won't have that sense of attachment to the game, they will view it as just some other league game but with free champions.

It's time to accept change or move on gramps.

>they actually added attack speed and magic resistance and fucking creep stats / kills before visible stats and base / bonus armour + damage distinction
I hate valve so, so much

just centaur ult away

>5k
>Oh no, team is feeding
>Wait, i'm Riki
>Win

Thought diffusal not being able to dispel yourself would fuck me over big time but all the other changes made up for it, specially the +250 cast range talent

>Monkey King uses Ult
>Game freezes for 5 seconds
>When it starts moving again I'm dead

what time do the river runes spawn now?

I don't want to eat bird poo though...

who cares xD

haha :0)

removed when?

>Dota 2 was stagnating, dying even

17 mil dollar prize pool game dying? Alright then.

Valve is a business, 17 million is not enough.
