Daily reminder that the entire idea of Drafting and Banning is tedious, boring, time-wasting garbage and only exists because Valve is too talentless to balance their own game, and so outsources it to the playerbase.

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

thanks for the meal dotards

>* Battle Fury damage reduced from 50 to 45 >* Anti-Mage: Spell Shield reduced from 26/34/42/50% to 20/30/40/50% I feel like this will help AM be less of an annoying shit early/mid game, but once he gets his items (and he still will get them 95% of the time) he will be just as obnoxious as before)
Logan Robinson
uh sweetie, he has like 300 hp less and only 81% magic res instead of 85% with the 25 talent now :^))
Gabriel Sullivan
Those changes basically do nothing.
Alexander Richardson
He's balanced now.

What's your reason for not playing based pangolin of polygamy and offlane?
Brayden Baker
proof?
Angel Foster
>once he gets his items That's always how it worked. The difference is that now it's much easier to prevent him from doing so since level 1 Spell Shield isn't a F R E E Hood anymore. Though I still think midgame AM builds should be experimented with since he can now use Skadi and lifesteal items that aren't Vlads.

>Troll Warlord has 1 int gain Is he the most brainlet hero?
Juan Barnes
Is treant a bad hero to play right now? His most useful skill is living armor but you want to get natures guise to do anything in lane. He is one of those supports that don't do jack shit in lane because he is melee and invis is easily countered.
I am sick of this shit. I like the hero thematically but I have never seen more meme talents crammed into one hero. 3s tree respawn? For what fucking purpose?
Julian Parker
Just hope someone picks a hero that can farm up blink and nullifier and still be useful.
Joshua Davis

Canonically, Ogre Magi would have 1 int gain if they only had one head.
Josiah Walker
why does mof have 3 mid players and no carry or pos4
Bentley Barnes
post captains who have already figured out the patch, pic related but he will choke after 2 lans and go back to the shitter
Dylan Fisher
why is icefrog so afraid of making anti-mage a.. anti-mage? Right now AM is anti-mana which everyone in the fucking game uses. Anti-mage has no abilities that scale off the enemies INT GAIN. Nyx is more of a anti-mage than anti-mage.
Right now, anti-mage is a pusher and ratter. That doesn't sound very anti-mage like.
James Lopez
OH NO, 5 LESS DAMAGE

6% LESS MAGIC REDUCTION

I wish Doom wasn't borderline unplayable, he's the closest thing the game has to a Blue Mage.
Evan Phillips
i wish the meta allowed for more mid tier items being built. i don't like how everything that you can build needs to be tier 1 item
Jacob Sullivan
Rubick isn't more of a blue mage?
Brody Richardson
Rubick is a Mimic.
Aiden Lewis
Rubick is a mimic, Blue Mages use monster spells.
Ethan Sanchez
fucking nerds
Jonathan Moore
you make good points.
I think AM needs a re-work. he is completely one-dimensional, only one way to play him, has a 100% mandatory first item to build every single game and a rather narrow set of items to build after that (though it might be a little more open now that UAMs are no more). and he's not even a fucking "anti-mage" like you say. just another split push / ratter. I'd say he's more similar to Tinker and NP than to eg. Nyx Assassin.
Benjamin Reyes
>drown nerfs
for what fucking purpose
Jayden Young
>doom is bad ???
Alexander Young
Honestly I think Icefrog should just bite the bullet and let Mana Break and Diffusal stack, if he has to nerf other aspects of the hero then so be it.

well we actually need someone to take up the mantle of "naga eating a fish" poster. we haven't been able to fill that position for a while, now...
but if that's not your speed, just peruse the d2gulag until something inspires you
any spell amplification item will be trash unless it give more than 25%. Why buy those when veil gives 25% for a little cost. it shouldve been a pencil for mightier than sword meme.
