Remember to report Tiago-made threads

How can you people actually be happy about the way heroes are being balanced now?

>Oh increase XP per minute talent by 300XP
>OH increase GPM talent by 100 gold
>OHHHHH decrease respawn time talent by 6 seconds

THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. HOW CAN YOU DEFEND THIS SHIT?

any questions?

did rubick REALLY need a fucking 50 attack range nerf

good thing oracle is allowed to have triple his right while having the best bat in the game

reported because avatarfagging is against the rules

Tusk
>Level 10 Talent increased from +35% XP Gain to +40%

why, he had the highest exp gain talent of all the heroes and nobody picked it, so you make it higher?
how about you give him a reason to get levels

Nice disco party arcana, dotard.

You have more particles coming out of your ass than a entire 40man WoW raid.

LOL.

Does that means 4 wolves is the talent to go now?

go to bed grandpa, the game is getting closer to 6.88

Can someone make an actual new thread

DUDE

huh? why?

rubick and slardar have been getting picked left and right though, fair is fair

>4 wolves
>tower now gets +10 armor
fucking retard

>Level 10 Talent increased from +25% XP Gain to +30%
>Familiars HP rescaled from 300/500/700 to 400/550/700

ABOUT FUCKING TIME

why the arcana has to be mask
it can be the shitty gloves considering jugg has so many shitty glo- nvm looks good and forced at the same time

>Towers now gain 2 armor per nearby enemy player within 1200 AoE

>ARC WARDEN:
>Tempest Double duration increased from 12/14/16 to 14/16/18

REAL NEW THREAD
REAL NEW THREAD

FUCK YOU AUTISTIC 33 YEARS OLD ANIMESHITTER

enemy player not enemy controlled units you damn autist

actual new thread remember not to post on Tiago threads to discourage avatarfagging and shitposting such as @171140801, which are bannable offenses
thank you

Just a reminder than mother is going to be cumming fountains all over games near you soon.

"player" is the key word

MODSKINDOTA.... use it to mod skins into your game... don't get jewed by valve!!

The amount of anal devastation on these losers is literally beyond the scale, LMAO

LOL!

I was in a 5k match with this guy. This is an account buyer right? Could not land a single good eclipse.

Why does Necrophos get a few matches of glory and is then butchered in a small balance patch but Luna gets to be a top tier pick for several years

>account buying is real

why would someone put themselves through hell? If they can not play at that bracket they will not have any fun?

>+18 damage
>hero's spells are still bad
>hex costs too much mana and is like 40% shorter duration compared to lion's
>shackles is too low range for a slow hero, and is channelled
>wards cost too much mana, get farmed easy by dragon lance and echo sabre, cannot trap anyone because lmao phase boots, cannot kill a creep wave because no splash damage anymore and don't give you a trillion damage with aghs anymore
literally nothing

seriously, why would you even want higher levels on tusk? By level 10 he already has 2 skills maxed and 1 point in Ult, getting additional levels in ult and snowball does nothing. The only thing it changes is his increased deathtimer and buyback cost.
He is a Hero that usually dies after initiating anyway.

stop making a thread for this dead-ass game. everyone plays league now. when will dota players realize their game is dead?

>Level 25 Talent changed from -3s Shadow Strike Cooldown to Removed Shadow Strike Cooldown

N-NANI

Oh fuck
That new Juggernaut Arcana

He looks like Outworld Devourer.
>the stone reaches my heart

Juggernaut corrupted by the Ancients and turned green whadafuck.
Also they completely ruined his color scheme with that but still the lore implications are unsettling.

Literally why would you take anything over the 70% spell lifesteal? With tangerine core it's almost 100%, using scream heals you massively if you hit 2 people with it, using sonic wave is basically a satanic.

Do you think people like this ever break things out of frustration?

>Towers now gain 2 armor per nearby enemy player within 1200 AoE
Does this spell the end of farm first core items then memefight into memepush?

>Oh boy new patch!

>jugg arcana

did they really just recycle the PA arcana because valve was that butt hurt they could not release their IO arcana?

for fucking serious?

Adelaide?

>dat Jakiro remodel

No more melted rubber dragon

Adderel

>I didn't read the important part of the patch notes and skipped to heroes because I'm retarded

>buff picked heroes' talents
>nerf unpicked heroes' abilities
JUST

FUCKING

ICE

FROG

THINGS

marmalade?

>less passive gold
>less gold from last hits
great now supports can go irrelevant to the game at 22 minutes instead of 18 minutes like before.

>Spirit Lance illusions now give the same constant 5 bounty as Juxtapose, rather than scaling with levels
fucking really? this was his buff to pl? lmao

is there a point you are trying to make

What are you smoking? All the most frequently picked heroes in pro were nerfed (slardar, kotl, centaur etc).

>its not more efficient to rat and kill towers solo

THE TIME HAS COME ONCE MORE

POST JAKIRO IMAGES
IS HE BEAUTIFUL YET?

rework inc
i wanna believe

...

model looks like its ready to get SKINNED

I win.

So was Shaman overall nerfed or buffed?
He hits harder, but that -100 range is pretty bad. He won't actually be able to trade against most supports without either drawing creep aggro or taking a lot more hits due to having 200 less range on average.

>better, busier thread was [pruned or deleted]

NP BUFF

THIS IS MY FETISH

>VIPER:
>Level 15 Talent increased from +7 Strength to +8

WHAT

IS THE POINT OF THIS """BUFF"""

This thread was made first.

*yawn*
I care not for farming my 7th and 8th items
JEWOGRE SLAVE! Fetch me my moonshard and Aghanims forthwith!

wow thanks janitor maybe next time prune the non shitposter thread

wew, posted in the wrong new thread
today improves

------


accidentally put 10 in quantity instead of 1 on my jugg arcana and valve refuses to refund me and banks closed till 8am (9 hours time)

who wants a free arcana i guess?
post id and reason why with ur best dota 2 memepic as img and ill pick 3

His buffs were pretty minor though.

20 extra health!

t. pub tusk player who cant play tusk and initiates with snowball into 5 heroes

>the player doesn't control the wolves
have you ever played the hero?

>oh no!, no i have to do one right click! WTF VISAGE BURBS OP

what about my other points? what does he need levels for?

please be trolling

+18 BASE ATTK DMG

LUL

>mfw I've killed a lina with visage birds in the time it took for her to turn around and start a cast anim

>reading the OP
>giving more than the faintest iota of attention to Tiago

>widdle waddle lemme just hit you with my fucking buffhueg attack dam-
>fuck, i'm stunned
>shit, where did my hp go?????
>fuck, i gave fb??????????????
>widdle waddle back to lane

>what does he need levels for?
Im the one who chooses +35 damage though

But to increase snowball damage and stun helps (because together with +150 snowball damage you can clear waves faster, which helps you farm by quite a lot)

And to lower the ult CD which it is REALLY necessary

But since you enter the fight and die, of course you wont find that useful.

to try and make it a more competitive choice with +14 Agility on an agility hero!

why do talents exist when every tier is going to be a choice between picking an upgrade or intentionally making the game harder for yourself?

i hate the ending of arcana omnislash
its like modified splinter blast

Makes it look like Jug cast Warcry too

so you chose +dmg talent, but argue that he needs lvl 3 ult lmao

I don't think the arcana omni has a different ending animation, jugg just pops out and starts hitting things

it's the on-kill animation

explain

explain this, doturds.

I chose +dmg talent but there are some times which i prefer +%40 exp gain when im having a bad game and i want to catch up with levels
Thats all

We could have had a Pudge arcana that was actually cool

instead we got this anime-tier shit

>Jakiro remodel

valve picked the exact same color scheme and similar particle effects for two different heroes' arcanas. Then, despite spending four extra months on making jugg's dragon extra-pretty, nobody in the office noticed or cared.

IT'S A FREE GAME

IT'S STILL IN BETA

YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN

>pudge
peruvian faggot

>hating pudge
found the 2k

>DEATH PROPHET:
>Level 10 Talent increased from +4% Spell Amplification to 5%
>Level 10 Talent increased from +8% Magic Resistance to +10%
>Level 20 Talent increased from +25 Movement Speed to +50
>Level 25 Talent increased from +400 Health to +600
>Level 25 Talent increased from +6 Exorcism Spirits to +8

Why doesn't valve make the garbage lina arcana actually good? All the new arcanas have a bunch of meme shit that comes with them, all lina gets is glowing hair and particles on dragon slave

>pick pudge
>enemy players hug their towers for the rest of the game
don't tell me that shit isn't fun as fuck, nigger

>needs hp to deal damage
>can't deal damage because had to go hp talent instead to deal damage
lmfao what a shit hero
