/d2g/ - Dota 2 General

It means Root now behaves properly instead of letting Ember Spirit jump away contrary to the change that made every other similar skill stop working, including Ball Lightning which was a massive Storm nerf (compensated for with le epic new regen rune).

does purge not know about splitting the window in half?

it means imbaspirit gets fucked over by tree, crystalmaiden and druid now

wtf is Purge talking about

>Forgetting Meepo
Your magic damage build won't save you now, dumbass.

he doesnt know either

also this patch is boring as fuck

>purgegamers.true.io/stream

>Bounty hunter is now broken again
Nice one icefrig

>balancing almost solely through talents
If Icefrog is somehow still leading Dota 2 balance, he needs to neck himself.

>as if enough levels weren't being thrown around all over the place valve buffs xp through tomes again
what the fuck

Welcome to the shitty hero arena icefrog is trying to create!

purge has got to be trolling at this point, is he seriously doing headmath over 60+20 dps by converting it to %increase?
jesus christ

nobody buys tome anymore

talents are sort of the newest feature in the game and theyre all retarded and broke a couple heroes

Patch TLDR
>Bf cleave and kunkka passive buffed
>Pretty much all XP, MS and health/strength talents buffed
>Blademail no longer heals with spell lifesteal
>LD talents nerfed
>Ember is now fucked over by root too
>Sentries now come in sets of 1
>Shrines are now only vulnerable when a T3 falls
>Hotd nerfed
>Sange and upgrades buffed
>Regen rune now only breaks with hero damage

reminder that 7.00 was the death of dota

> Leech Seed slow from 28% to 22/24/26/28%

> Nature's Guise Bash duration from 0.7/1.2/1.7/2.2 to 0.4/1.0/1.6/2.2

> Nature's Guise movement bonus from 16/22/28/34% to 10/18/26/34%

> Level 20 Talent from +65 Damage to +90

mfw

>all these talent buffs

POWER CREEP

>sentries now come in sets of one for 100 gold
literally taken from dota Imba

FeelsGoodMan i hate that hero

They were the ones nobody picked because they were shitty compared to the alternative.

iceFRAUD!!!

We got a new patch? I hope my boy Ember was untouched-.

just like kunkkas aghs

>most talents are still barely noticeable outside of a few

>slardar nerfs

why

>SingSing already conquered the server hes playing on in Conan
how come SingSing is so good at every game he plays besides Dota 2?

>I know what'll save AM from this patch!
>giving him a 20 mana void cd at level 25!
What about the rest of the fucking game you dumbass

obs were in singles for like 2 years now
sentries werent because its an unwarranted nerf to invis

1 second off blink CD that early is actually pretty massive, really speeds up farming

theyll fix it in spring cleaning 2 or the post-ti7 patch or whenever they release jugg arcana

>Added Lycan to CM
is Lycan still OP?

>buffing AM the same patch as releasing jugg arcana
wouldn't valve want more focus on jugg to make some shekels

>still OP

lycan has been utter garbage for many many patches now and continues to be garbage

* The following abilities cause neutrals to temporarily not draw aggro: Meat Hook, Telekinesis and Toss

so they finally fixed the pull abuse?

>let me tinker with talents instead of telling valve to work on performance

how can she sit like that? I tried to do that once and my benis felt extreme pain

>20 second Ult CD on AM
>one of the heroes that reaches level 25 by 30 minutes in
what did Icefraud mean by this?

she doesn't have a penis to sit on

>doubling down on shitty xp, flat health, and -respawn talents

Magnus:
* Level 15 Talent from +50 Damage to +12 Strength
* Level 20 Talent from +15 Strength to +15% Empower Damage/Cleave
* Level 20 Talent from +20 Movement to +40

magnus will be the next big mid

>mk buffed lategame
lmao

>+75 ms bane

gimme that racecar team composition senpaitachi

>Shrines are now only vulnerable when a T3 falls

Does this mean after one T3 falls or after all T3 fall?

>Visage level 10 +25% exp rate

today is a good day to spam.

>Dark Seer
>* Level 15 Talent from +90 Damage to +120
what the actual fuck is this? Dark Seer is going to be OPM at this rate

female pelvis are wider

heheheHAHAHAHAHAHAH

i hnngd a little at that one

>hmmmm how do I make Brew ult good?
>* Fire Spirit now has phasing movement
good job valve that did it alright

>ephey on w33 stream
KEBABD

So I guess you need to rush midas like playing invoker? Like how most of the meme master that used to spam him?

>this visual glitch still exists for shitposters to latch onto

For fuck's sake it happens with every fucking game regardless of the numbers because its clearly a running average that winds up averaging with zeroes for days that have yet to be played. Rescaling the damn x-axis fixes it every time

He's a rat hero who sucks at ratting but is only viable when it comes to ratting. His Shapeshift is so laughably short that a CC chain of like 5 seconds is usually enough to take him out of the fight.

icefrog is just going to straight up delete visage one of these days, isnt he

>Agility gain from 1.5 to 1.0
>Howl manacost from 30 to 40

>Helm of the Dominator All Stats from 6 to 4
>Helm of the Dominator creeps now give a constant 125 gold bounty

you tell me user

HotD is now just an AoE ring of health for 1800 gold. GG.

>invoker from +25% XP to 30%
lmao he really wants people to pick those shit XP talents

FUCK OF DONT RUIN VISAGES WINRATE EVEN MORE REEEEE
basically getting lvl 2 and 3 ult on visage is alpha omega, and his lvl 20 and 25 talents are also good
not to mention visage practically feeds of tomes like a neet on autismbux since half your farming is sending your birds to splitpush after you get lvl 2 birds and you dont get exp from that
>whaaa I now have to micro my 1400 hp 425 ms creep 8 min into the game

icefrog just needs to revert it and satanic back to what they were pre 7.00

i get that it was retarded good on agi carries and would make monkey king broken as shit but ffs it makes no sense to turn it into a support jungler item thats either broken as fuck or useless

>i get that it was retarded good on agi carries
wut?
it's after 7.00 that all agi carries started building it

xp talents are good at lvl 10, anything beyond that (except invoker duh) is wasting oxygen

>huskar
>level 10
>+5 flaming spears per second

invokers really only take the XP talent when they need to recover
having the double forged is really invaluable when you're trying to push high ground

Is Kunkka fixed now?

Underlord:
* Movement speed reduced from 305 to 290
* Atrophy Aura Damage Reduction from 10/20/30/40% to 4/16/28/40%

strong nerfs. undershit and lone druid got nerfed hard this patch

for each spear user

post winners

The only thing he has to do is revert lvl25 xp requirement, right now its way too easy to get there by 35-40 minutes except on some supports

>* Level 10 Talent from +150 Mana to +40 Torrent Damage

Dropped

>Level 20 Talent from +15 Strength to +15% Empower Damage/Cleave
simbly
actually
epic

>85 doom dps
YOU ARE ______

Seems like they changed a lot of stat talents into ability-improvement talents

>aura went from -18% at lvl 1 to -4% in few patches
wew

No seriously why would Icefraud do this to such a shitty hero

>Sand king burrowstrike pops linkens
>Tusks snowball does not pop linkens

Explain this doturds

Wait do you mean when it targets said hero with linkens or what?

>inb4 aura is just replaced with the old expulsion spell from dota 1

Thing is, you want damage on core kunkka, and support kunkka can just buy mana boots and grab the extra damage to farm a bit faster
That talent was totally out of place, at least now it has some synergy with the AOE at 25

>Offlane Carry Seer
>Haste to supports with BKB on and 1-shot them

>treant and dark seer can almost be played as one punch heroes now

Tusk is just so shit.

dare i say

guys...did i fucked up?

>hover-hand

do you have trouble with reading comprehension?

>this game's bugs

>touching used goods

40 damage is kinda irrelevant tho

Nice game Icefrog!!

who /listening to purges voice here/

One itemworth of damage
