First Sing and Tucker, now Bulldog and s4. It's the way of life. One day your friends will be gone and moved on from you too, user.

In Dota Height and Agility are inversely related

What gave you the retarded idea they are going to rotate cards out like those two?

Gabe gave a whole speech in his conference how he wants to make cards like assets that don't constantly depreciate, so idk how rotating out cards makes any sense at all.

well what anime is she from, I googled but I can't find a character named maut on any shows

I occasionally post Jojo here.

They explicitly said it in an interview, along with how they're not going to be buffing ANY cards, along with how nerfs will be extremely rare.

>This is maybe more specific to Valve, when it comes to communication you say that you input a lot. One of the things I saw with Dota is that you’re planning to balance more regularly. Is that the same approach you’re taking to Artifact, in terms of having more regular updates? A lot of people describe Valve as a black box where you observe but don’t interject unless you absolutely need to. With Artifact, do you have plans to change that approach?
>JB: We have a long history of partnering with our community and making sure we’re building the thing that best serves that community.
>SE: Our intention is to update it primarily releasing new cards.
>RG: It’s worth noting there that we will nerf and buff cards at an absolute minimum. We probably would never buff a card.
>SE: There’s never a reason to buff a card.
>RG: The only reason to nerf a card is in the unlikely situation where everyone has to play this card or they’ll lose. We would rather let the metagame play out and if a card is a problem, it’s going to go away anyway.
>So you plan to use that rotating format?
>RG: Yes.

Who's the hero with the most one dimensional play style and the one with the most one dimensional lore?

Look at filename you originally linked to.

>We have a long history of partnering with our community and making sure we’re building the thing that best serves that community.

So Artifact is pretty much confirmed to be catered to Reddit then.

>Playstyle
Sniper.
>Lore
Plenty are just "and then they were in the battle between the ancients."

This is the one case where I hope it's fucking true, because Reddit is throwing a FIT over that statement.

lul artifact is doa

he's a big guy

In the recent VP Live vlogs they basically told that VP players were training every day and unlike most teams VP have family atmosphere they do everything together. Though i think they are still in honeymoon period with Rodjer.
Nonetheless VP playstyle perfect for current fast pace meta they also have flexible roles and big hero pool. Heroes in their standart pick can be replaced so you can't even ban their standart with 5 bans while then can steal your core hero.
It is about time for Liquid and Secret step up their game to prepare for VP next major. Being VP and Solo fan now feels great after years of losses.

i feel u
i started following pro scene december 2016, started rooting for liquid because of mc
had a great time seeing them go from underdogs and chokers to ti champs and legends

Isn't that how real TCGs work though?

It was also one of the biggest problems with people playing them. Being a digital game was a huge opportunity to avoid that and Valve fucked it up.

>own 500 dollar deck
>lol it rotates
fuggg

i do what i can

Shoujo ramune

real TCG either rotate or power creep so you dont need to rotate anything. MTG and Pokemon do Rotation but Yugioh does powercreep and banlists for xample.

Slacks is fucking disgusting.

Him being a headliner personality is a fucking stain to the game. His persona is abrasive as fuck, he's a funny-noise guy which would be fine if he actually good at it, and his whole deal is being loud, inflammatory, and saying awful things. He's not even fucking smart when he says outrageous offensive shit; it's dumb lowest-common-denominator crap.

I'm fine if you like that sort of shit; there is a place for that for that audience. But you don't give a dipshit like that a fucking OFFICIAL platform at the International. It's goddamn unprofessional the things that comes out of that man's mouth.

I'm sitting there at the Moonduck Major and this retard is there in an official capacity with zero improv skills and professional conduct. At absolutely no time were you convinced his schtick was an act; he is actually that horrible and for some fucking reason people love him for it. Fat jokes and racism - his repertoire is pathetic.

>Powercreep magically goes away with rotation
LOL

reddit spacing

>Saw 3 people max play Magnus in months of pubs
>4 Magnus picksjust today
Did some meme streamer play him recently or what?

it's an old pasta newfriend

>Fortnite 260k viewers
>Pubg 36k viewers
what the fuck went wrong with pubg?

what makes any of those games popular on twitch is not whether they're good or not, it's how much they'll pay the big streamers to play the game.
there a guy with 120k viewers playing fortnite, out of those 260k.
look at league of legends for instance, remove tyler1 and imqtpie and they become a sub 20k viewers game.
same with ours admiralbulldog and arteezy (who barely streams anyway)

Everyone that cares about it is playing the game instead of wishing they were anywhere else like people that play fartnight

theyre fotm games dude there's always a new one coming around to take their place.

Don't worry user heroes will be un-manlet'd in Artifact.

Is PPD a crack addict? I took a break from dotards for like a year and I remember that PPD used to look pretty decent although he always looked a bit on the down spectrum. But holy shit wtf happened to this guy? Mind that this is a PR picture HE HIMSELF PUBLISHED ON HIS OWN TWITTER (which is most certainly photoshopped as well), yet he looks like a complete fucking crackaddict in it. Just imagine how much worse he looks IRL - he must have a habbit because there's no other logical explanation to it. Maybe that's the reason he got booted from EG (we all know he got booted and that whole CEO bullshit was just a PR stunt)
