Dota 2 General - /d2g/

>Naga
Definitely not /ourguys/

RTZ is playing Yung Lean right now, guaranteed

>How about that weather?

EG draft is boring shit

lmao this EG draft is fuckin disgusting

>Unishaker
Reminder.

outdrafted again
rip newbee

I feel like Western teams traded with Chink teams, they are now the boring ricers who play boring dota while chink teams try to cheese and run weird drafts

whens tobi

FUCK NAGA

i hope frog just deletes her from the competitive meta

and yes im an american cheering for eg, i just really really fucking hate watching naga games.

Move the Rosh pit back!

honestly, i remember a couple years ago when naga carry first blew up in the pro scene and i absolutely hated every naga game.

Now for some reason seeing Naga picks now makes me as excited as I was back when I first started watching dota, theres just something about that hero now that grew on me

>not picking fun heroes after being up by one game
Definitely a fun team desu baka.

>EG are going to get away with another final
Thanks VP ddosers

>that massive fucking eyesore of a hud
Thank gaben.

>nyx never
He only gets banned.

ready for the DUNK

IN FROM UNIVERSE

IT'S A DISASTAH

CDEC

you obviously didnt watch igv vs vgj last night

it was classic chink v chink dota, it was awful

nth for THICC Legion Booty

behold the power of talents. why run at people when you can do what my main man artosis says and get more ahead.

Actually I think I realized why naga grew on me

WIPED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH

The game is less mechanically rewarding now. they want the league audience when LoL busts

how is it less mechanically rewarding? Elaborate?

>Millions of dollars invested into buying custom huds
>trashed and flushed down the toilet
>no refunds
>no reponse or talk about it at all from valve

>practicing for my finals
>rtz stream on the background

I still associate Fourier's calc analysis with yung lean and last hit sounds.

>it's a Lina vs CM episode

are you serious? they've added so many QoL improvements over the last year

Valve updated the custom huds to fit the new UI, which was nice of them.

who are decent chink players?

ICEICEICE
AGRESSIF
sccc
paparazi
chuan
(ie players with personality)

everyone else not apply

...

my nigga

zai is level 2 7.5 minutes in

Quality of life improvements correlates with the game being less mechanically rewarding? How so?

I haven't played in 6 months so that's why I'm asking.

every chinese team has one godly player. they just arent allowed to leave freely and make a super team and destroy the west because of the owners greed. thus they have to play with baddies or they dont make any money

>Quality of life improvements correlates with the game being less mechanically rewarding? How so?
It doesn't. he's talking out of his ass.

he implies that clunky design equals less mechanical gameplay

Isn't godz supposed to be a chink wanker?

He's sucking off EG so hard

Newbee only performs up to expectations in that I always expect them not to perform up to expectations

tps are free and rotations are piss easy now (99% of the time you dont need to think about your tps just tp)

shrines (lul) offlane takes no skill and you can make endless mistakes

status counter

Reminder.

Abaddon pick is retarded in this chain stun meta user

>giving artucci naga this much farm
bye bye chindog!

Off the top of my head:

Free map fountains > less mana/hp management
No mana blink
Stun timer
Scan for smokes
Improved waveclear
Powercreeped heroes
More passive gold
Less focus on farming mechanics
Iron Talon
Better and more attainable defensive items (from raindrop to glimmer cape)
Mobility comes cheap.
Shorter cooldowns.
Pity runes.

I'm sure I can go deeper on this and make an analysis of how these changes negatively (in my opinion anyway) impact the game but it probably will be ignored or dismissed through ad hominem.

wtf happened to chuan, did he get sent to the gulag?

you're fucking stupid, i bet you started playing this game a year ago or some shit. if you think this game didn't get mechanically easier you should go back to smite kid

>no mana blink
stopped reading

what's sup

I know right, it feels so good to have 1200 unit mobility every 12 secs without no downsides! Doesn't mean it's good for the game

>arteezy moving in and out of range for sleep so that ember takes illuminate damage, slept to avoid him remnanting out, then awoken for lina to stun

holy fuck that was crazy

tps are more costly with the huge cooldown, nice 2k analysis though

>too much nerf
>raindrop killed lina
>squishy mid

>giving Sumail Lina

wrong talents sumaail

the jungle stack and ward area notifications are also begging for the league audience

He got sent to a literal meme team according to Newbee

Oh yeah I'm sure I left a lot outside, like tower range markers and shit.

is there any reason Lina not going for -30s respawn time?

certain heroes like WK would be eternally shit if it wasn't for this 3 year old change my friend

>4:3 resolution in 2011
fucking thirdies

He's still shit because they added a bunch of other items that make him garbage

>another rad abaddon
>recipe first
haha, you will never get it

The game's always had tower range markers, though they were more subtle. There were piles of bones or rubble at the edge of their attack range.

>Powercreeped heroes
go play LoL then? Pretty obvious Dota's too hard for you

SLACKS

WK was picked before and there are other ways to balance an item/hero besides going from 50 to 0 in a single swing.

Maybe you just hate mana management and would be OK with forcestaff also costing 0 mana.

WHY DOES ABBADON GO RADIANCE
GO FUCKING GUARDIAN GREAVES
PURGE OFF CORROSIVE HAZE AND MANA LEAK YOU FUCKING TARD

Timbersaw.

i just dislike shrine and the camp spawn box, no reason that should be there.

monkey king is retarded

Amazing argument my friend, truly the level of discussion expected from a russian kid.

Dota is TOO EASY actually. It's complexity lies entirely(!) on teamfights and teamwork, this is NOT the multi-dimensional game it used to be.

>mk
>balanced
uhm

Force staff can be used on allies, enemies, and while taking damage. Blink can't, though its personal mobility is obviously better.

>removing the mana cost on 1 item is bad
Having to manage mana on any str hero with blink was a obnoxious and added nothing to the game.

>eg picks mk
lmao so good noob chinks
>chinks picks mk
nerf so op

Watching RTZ naga after the n0lans shitshow is truly appealing to the eyes.

>balance discussions during esports

>having a problem with camp spawn box and ward preview
autism

There are too many shrines, rest is okay, the scan could go on a longer cooldown and the ward shouldn't get a preview, let people discover ward places for themselves

>implying obnoxious gameplay is good because it pleases your misguided autism

fuck me I miss leshrac.

i bitch about mk regardless m8, no bias
