WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!?!

 

[Holundrian]

Kiev major will happen on this patch.

 

[Manoko]

Why do people seem to dislike a talent system by the way ?

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

If only one could properly read all that shit :/

 

[mooncakes]

not liek this, icefrog, not liek this

 

[Zafir]

They're actually real, looool.

Ok.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Why do people seem to dislike a talent system by the way ?

People don't like fundamental changes regardless of whether they'll turn out well or not.

 

[W1SSY]

Why do people seem to dislike a talent system by the way ?

People hate change.

 

[kasane]

lmao who said fake?

 

[Horp]

I like all except the talents, I think.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Why do people seem to dislike a talent system by the way ?

Because people still doubt the frog short-term, just to then praise his glory a month from now.

 

[Nokterian]

HUD looks awesome and minimal i like it! Also talents? I don't mind a change of the game.

 

[Jebusman]

People hate change.

It's more that some of the talents were fucking nuts.

Giving characters 2 seconds cooldowns on abilities with 1 second stuns.

For some characters hitting level 25 essentially makes you god tier.

 

[Holundrian]

Why do people seem to dislike a talent system by the way ?

Because 6.88 was order. 7.00 is chaos
Srsly I don't think it's ever going to get worse than sniper/troll patch.

everyone will chill out in a month.

 

[kasane]

and the shrines are real too?

the fuck?

 

[Randdalf]

Have to say, really don't understand why the introduction of talents is necessary, especially when they're so... boringly done.

 

[pompidu]

Because people still doubt the frog short-term, just to then praise his glory a month from now.

6.82 destroyed any trust I had in hin, the game has gotten much worse since then, and apparently the trend continues with this

 

[KingKong]

monkey king looks crazy

 

[Anteo]

I want to go back to 6.49b

 

[deleted]

So that list seemed to be real, but some of the changes seem to be really, really unbalanced. Maybe it makes more sense in combination with the rest, but it sounds a bit fucked up..

 

[shira]

LOL that Fighting Game slam pregame

 

[W1SSY]

It's more that some of the talents were fucking nuts.

I am sure things will be broken and will get patched rather quickly which is what has always happened with major reworks.

[kionedrik]

placeholder text is ruining it honestly, can't even understand how monkey king works... will wait till they fix it.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Using Jakiro for the talent demonstration and then showing Enigma, Viper and Slardar all over the place is just cruel, Valve.

 

[chaobreaker]

Monkey King is fucking crazy holy shit.

How will the tree hopping work in the multiple different tree designs of every terrain?

What's going to happen to our old HUDs?

Bounty + xp for illusions, holy shit!

 

[Jay Shadow]

SteamDB says dedicated test server was updated

 

[Monochromaticx]

what the hell is the backpack ?!

Bounty + xp for illusions, holy shit!

:OOOOOOOOOOO

yeah they probably didnt test it either so its gonna be a broken mess in-game, just people dying way too quick and shit.

/sarcasm

 

[Zoon]

Fucking love this. I wanted a big change and the frog delivers.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

So much better than before. This patch sounds awesome. Can't wait for it to hit the main client.

 

[Shepard]

So, is every hero out of captains mode now?

 

[cerulily]

I don't really see what talents make the game any worse. It seems like a new way to deal with an old problem, that being the game can be decided purely in the pick phase. While this might still be the case, the talents seem to allow players to make mid-game strategic individual choices to meet changing needs.

But who am i to judge. it's different so it's bad?

 

[Sou Da]

Slardar looking great.

 

[kasane]

yeah they probably didnt test it either so its gonna be a broken mess in-game, just people dying way too quick and shit.

/sarcasm

i mean sniper and troll wasn't broken too

/s

 

[kanuuna]

New UI looks so good. Should be a treat in 21:9.

 

[Randdalf]

Patch notes are now in Chinese for me, lol.

 

[Qvoth]

website works properly now, everything's in chinese
i'll translate things i find interesting

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

I can't actually believe they would do these kind of talent tree changes because that adds so damn much additional information newbies will have to learn over months. I mean, I might love it, but to see a developer take this step that adds complexity for newbies is sure a hella rare sight.

praise da frog

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Placeholder text is gone

But now it's Chinese

getting closer I guess

 

[TyrantGuardian]

Hahaha bulldog's stream right now. This is hilarious and a lot of these changes look amazing.

If talents enable me to play support anti-mage... hoooooo boy.

 

[Holden]

 

[JoeInky]

The page just turned chinese

 

[scarybore]

Liking everything so far other than the talents, which in some cases appear broken. Of course, reading is one thing and playing is another.

Can't wait to try Monkey King, looks super fun.

 

[kasane]

- Resurrection time?

really?

im just having a kneejerk reaction right now but this shit seems so fucking off

 

[shira]

ayyyyyyyyyy

 

[Kuga]

They changed everything.

 

[Spruchy]

i mean sniper and troll wasn't broken too

/s

If you keep living life clinging to the past you're not going to have a good time, friend.

 

[OnionPowder]

Why doesn't Monkey Kings mana decrease in his first skill gif
