I need u barnyyy...

Morphling is now the single most broken hero in Dota 2

Not even 6.50 Gambler was this insane

morph is so fun to play now with no manacost shifting.

>sniper can now push enemies back 35 with each headshot

Waveform over someone and it does an auto attack.

feed me dotards

Reminder that you can just hex slark now and he's fucking done for

Dire's Tier 1 tower is an abortion

i just want to test the new ability draft ;_;

>Guardian Sprint moves at 700 Speed along the river at ability-level 4
Holy shit, this is just too clowny, this is a literal meme patch

how is that helpful? why would I take this talent

Wait, let me ask this - Terrorblade can have Sunder on a 5 second cooldown now?

S U N D E R E D

WHAT IS

THE MOST ABSOLUTE MADMAN THING

IN THE PATCH

...

WHY DID HE NERF HER

WHY DOES HE HATE OBSIDIAN DESTROYER SO FUCKING MUCH
WHY
HIS TALENTS ARE STILL FUCKING GARBAGE

>Copy terrorblade
>Cast metamorphosis

ATTENTION IF YOU CAN NOT SEE DOTA 2 TEST IN YOUR STEAM LIBRARY AND CAN NOT DOWNLOAD IT BECAUSE OF THIS

USE THESE STEPS TO DOWNLOAD TEST SERVER AND PLAY MATCHES

just open steam then the new task prompt (windows key + r) and type steam://install/205790/

He's never coming back.

ITS HIS PATCH, ITS OUR BOY TIME TO SHINE

no

Don't forget that LoL also got an exciting new patch!

na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-721-notes

don't do this it creates mustard gas!

>our

So - BANE CARRY IS REAL NOW.

Also are the shrines being where the bounty runes should be bother anyone else a LOT? Now the places where shrines used to be seem out of place.

if you have a life you wouldnt care so much about mmr points

Morph being a god-tier carry + Rubick in one hero

40-35?

...

what bothers me more is radiant top shrine is absolutely garbage now since it's in a fucking pit

So Nullifier is basically a purchasable doom?

>Diffusal Blade no longer dispels.
Is this some kind of joke?

no

she was buffed retard

W H E RE I S THE PAT CH

Either pudge with rune hooks or moving techies mines. Both are clowny as fuck but you know some streamer is going to make a crazy next level play with one of them.

Also
>make massive stack of proximity mines
>centaur ult
>9/11 all over again at the tier 4 towers

Lolbabby here, League patches are rarely as exciting as dota patches because they're so common and rarely do crazy shit.

>Those laning changes
>Base Structures
>Removed Tier 4 tower HP regen (previously had 3)

God bless your little heart, Grant
You did it

1st of november

Yeah, a good one

>False Promise invisibility is back
>Backtrack is back
>Global Calldown is back
We did it!

>When your fanbase is so shit you'd rather wash dishes than play dota for money

Net worth Ranking Factor (how much the richest vs poorest heroes get from assist gold) changed from 0.75->1.25 to 0.7->1.3

meme back buffed?

I liked the t4 regen but everything else is almost exactly what I wanted.

is dota just a teamfight simulator now?

youtube.com/watch?v=DH8tAQhdhb8

*breathes in*

I DONT WANT SEASONAL SHIT

40 cooldown at level 4, -35 seconds from talent. Wonder if this is gonna be balanced.
Get Aeon Disk and become unkillable. 25% reduction on all stuns, silences, slows, all that shit, paired with 5 second cooldown on fucking sunder? All you have to do is get enough items to outdamage their carry and you win. BKB on top of that and what are they gonna do?

Is this nigger serious?

Another patch and another bunch of changes with mechanics lifted from league that we said we'd never ever have. Also isn't Pangolini already in league more or less? At least someone with his ultimate.

you mean diffusal blade no longer diffuses


and i wish.

but how will i cuck people with omnislash if they can just euls or ghost

Explain.

lolbabs please leave

morphling is spy from tf2 now?

only exciting thing is galio becoming a burst caster
dota patches are absolute insanity

WHAT TEH FUCK HAPPENED TO DIRE'S TIER 1 TOWER, WHAT IS THIS ASYMMETRICAL SHIT, THIS IS BORDERLINE UNPLAYABLE

>Kills your 1k hp ball with a 2k dmg rubick nuke

heh

Cataclysm will be ridiculous when the enemy is grouped, although the damage will be lessened if they overlap
>chrono
>static storm + part circle
>RP

Wow, and all it takes is 3 Daedalus on the Wisp!

preseason updates are usually pretty big aren't they? especially this year, with the economy changes

That change would be fine if her other abilities got overhauled as well. But nope.

>he doesn't like the congo line

>free desolator
>free battlefury
>FREE double butterfly
>no more true strike except bloodthorne which can be bkbd

Immortals to win TI

>oh no, my invis which was countered by dust and sentries like 80% of the time is gona, literally unpla-
>Spin Web pathing/speed buff is no longer removed when taking damage

Mute them

No, it's a racing game.
First to reach level 25 wins.

it's so invisible heroes can sneak through the right side ledge

>wanna check for Stampede/Moving mines meme
>Affects every player-controlled allied unit, except for couriers, wards, buildings, Haunt icon.png Haunt illusions, and Techies mines.

as a booster, i actually like the fact that my costumers are coming back to me every 6 months.
thanks frog for realizing that we do this for living

Who -apem here?

>ATTENTION

BANE ENFEEBLE DAMAGE STEALING STACKS

>ATTENTION

OCTO CORE BANE WILL HAVE +400 DAMAGE IN FIGHTS

How do you manage your mana with brew now that he doesn't have the +3 mana regen talent and now that soul ring sucks?

>Lich now heals buildings better than Treant at lvl 25
>Luna Aghs + new talents is infinite damage and perma stun on a hero from 3000 miles away
>Bane can now manfight anyone starting at level 10 and actually maxes Enfeeble
>the new heroes are all broken as fuck too
>Io
holy god this patch I'm so hype, gonna win super high MMR for this season abusing all these overpowered heroes :3

What the fuck? Do they move on their own, or what?

Jugg aghs refresher is no longer a meme and going mjolnir makes you fucking unstoppable.

>walk down river to deward
>small army of mines slowly advancing toward you
>its ability draft and techies picked up metamorphosis

>Io lvl15: tether grants Aghs upgrade to tethered hero

This shit is broken

Hence rarely.
Preseason is always fun as fuck, I still miss Weedwick, but other patches are normally pretty tame.

>FREE TP scroll
>easy mode literally has league shop
>FREE flying courier
>status resistance
>no more bullying items from the sideshop, only tp scroll and treads now

so we're league now right?

>Level 25: 0 Entangle Cooldown
scepter is one of the most underrated items on druid

also changes to primary stats are retarded

>Go for a hike around the map to ward
>As you lay down a sentry you see a conga line of fucking land mines

did we get a patch?

>Wratih king is no longer a 1 key hero
Damnit Icefrog.

dark willow

>root
>stun
>5 second invulnerable that grants a long range decent burst
>circling cannon
>fear
Pair it with the nullifier item, absurd initiator. Expensive item, but well worth it

Wednesday!

>PL strongest hero in the game

banlist on senpai

>Enfeeble lasts for twenty seconds on 8 second cd
>Bumped another 100 with tree
>Can attack you while nightmared

It's coming.

>pick le balanced green eating disorder lolita
>buy meteor hammer
>do 700 damage to enemy tower from fog in less than 5 seconds
The madman strikes again.

>75% accuracy is nothing, bro!
Pa's evasion goes from 50% to fucking 12,5%. If she has butterfly AND evasion talent, the evasion is still only 21% if you have MKB.
Not only that, you can also use nullifier on her to prevent BKB entirely.

mmr doesnt exist anymore

cant buy phase boots to bully supports
cant buy soulring and its a shit item in general now
cant buy pms
thats what i meant by bullying items

>Gambler
wow didnt know such a hero existed

>he hasn't seen Bane

New First Pick/Ban every single game
