Support NeoGAF

[Exuro]

Does it show the same for other heroes (or at least allies)?

Just your hero.

Looks like the new items don't have icons yet, or at least HH doesn't

EDIT: it's just HH

 

[Togglesworlh]

Just your hero.

Does seem kind of pointless, then, yeah.

 

[Drkirby]

That Heaven's Halberd Icon.

 

[Spruchy]

Was rapping with dat new kunkka, SERVER INTERUPT.

Same with Silencer

His attack animation is awesome, the kind of awesome that is good for last hitting.

New mini map looks SO GOOD. Valve :bow

Poor Lirlond, did nothing but die, thanks to Sanjay abandoning him. );

Yeah this is probably the best part of the patch, the hero icons are so QT.

 

[Blizzard]

It was colored text names on the minimap before, right? I didn't like that compared to LoL, so it seems like icons are a nice improvement as long as they're easily recognizable.

 

[Hylian7]

Fucking lol @ the way the bots fountain dive now.

 

[Card Boy]

Vindicator = Garbage, and one of the weakest heroes in HoN
Silencer = Excellent

 

[Hylian7]

So for some reason Black King Bar won't build for one of my friends. What gives?

 

[HenryHSH]

Bots are still a joke.

edit: I wish I can do 1v5 insane, like in war3 dota.

 

[Sanjay]

No that was Lirlonds fault. Did the same the next game with Botlof, had no problems. Spiritbreaker so much fun, bash bash bash. I leveled him up wrong the first game did him as if playing Rampage from HoN.

Yea, in HoN you level up the aura and bash first. But spirit breaker's bash is percentaged based unlike hon's.

Lirlond didn't play another game after that, did he? Certainly wasn't in the NEXT game. Hobart was playing Silencer in the next one. EDIT: Oh, you mean you did fine the next game. Nevermind.

It's true he was too far up a lot of times, but if he didn't he wouldn't have gotten any experience. It's also true that if you had been there we would have been a lot less agressive. Every time you did show up, it was too late, already. Probably should have gone to a different lane? I dunno.

 

[narcosis219]

Glorious. Disconnected because patch was being uploaded, and now I am LOW PRIORITY. Now it is actually impossible to get a game going.

 

[Archie]

Meeru is saltier than I remember. :I

 

[Tworak]

aaaah patch. aaaah silencer.

 

[Card Boy]

Meeru is saltier than I remember. :I

Wait that Meeru in the gaf channel was the real deal?

 

[Drkirby]

I still think Support Silencer works just fine in the Hard lane, to annoy the hell out of the enemy hard carry, which often only has 1 active that they can't really spam. The only main downside is you have no hard disable, only the soft disable that is making your enemy waste all their mana.

 

[Swag]

How upset does that make you?

 

[Drkirby]

The Minimap, in UHD! Seems Valve is making the game future proof for 4320p.

I didn't know the original image was that large! Amazing!

I really like that the rune spots have that shine effect on them now.

 

[Ferny]

That looks so awesome.

 

[Drkirby]

Also, while not released, one of the alternative Curriers got updated:

Looks good.

Also, Slardar got some more details:

And his head light works now.



Also, Obsidian Destroyer and Lycan now have text for their tool tips, so they may be coming soon.



And a small sneak peek into the profile page, some of its text (Along with other stuff):

"dota_profile_overview" "Overview"
"dota_profile_history" "Game History"
"dota_career_profile" "CAREER PROFILE"
"dota_profile_title" "DOTA 2 - PERSONA"
"dota_profile_prefs" "Persona Preferences"

Also, how to get rid of HP Icon over head: dota_hud_healthbar_number 0

Add to your Autoconfig file and you should be good.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Is that Yurnero the courier?

 

[Hylian7]

Wait a minute, right below secret shop, on the Radiant side, what the hell is that?

Having tested the new bots, they actually are significantly smarter.

 

[The_Player]

Dk, please, continue.

 

[Card Boy]

Has anyone worked out how to disabled that new number on top of your heroes head? Played acouple games and people hate it including myself.

I've noticed them be even worse in some cases. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten kills because they run away from me and just pace back and fourth behind a tree because I technically can't see them until I get around it.

 

[Sanjay]

Meeru is saltier than I remember. :I

All Arsenal fans are

 

[Archie]

The Slardar remake looks great. Hopefully Valve gives Earthshaker some attention in the near future. You can tell his model was one of the earlier ones because of the lack of detail.

 

[Swag]

Did they change Juggernaut? When he's low on HP he limps instead of runs.

I could be crazy

 

[Drkirby]

Nope, you aren't crazy, just tested it, you do in fact limp and hold your stomach with your arm when your HP is low. Nice little touch, should be nice when it is implemented for other heroes.

Random Lore Fact: Silencer's Order of Aeol Drias is enemies with Chen's Order, Knight of the Fold. Despite this, he has no lines in reference to Chen.

Wait a minute, I swear I saw tiny doing a similar animation! I was wondering what that animation was!

I would assume you could simply call it the "Badly Wounded" animation, since it doesn't seem to play till you are below 25% HP.

Skeleton King also does a new sword swipe? IIRC he only did the vertical one, but now he also has a horizontal swipe?

 

[Togglesworlh]

I think I've mentioned before that I love Viper.

But I love Viper.

Ancient Apparition is by far the most trouble I've had mid, though. Yeesh!

 

[Prosper]

edit: nvm

 

[Filth]

Spirit breaker is pretty awesome. Love charging at someone across the map from my base lol.

 

[Drkirby]

So, what does everyone think of the new items? Rod of Atos seems like it has good potental, but I'm not sure of who best to put it on. It gives HP, it gives Int, but where does that go well. Tide Hunter? Zeus? An item for supports to grab?

 

[Bento]

Liking the radius adjustment on Necrolytes Death Pulse, makes him easier to play in the early game.

 

[bzm]

Yeah this is probably the best part of the patch, the hero icons are so QT.

oh shit i might have to check this game out now

 

[Drkirby]

So, any interest from you any of you to try and get a few GAF Teams into Dota2Replays Brawl Tournament? 4 weeks of Small Open Qualifier Tournaments, then 2 weeks for the finals. Stuff is a bit of a mess, but here are the relevant links.

Main Tournament Info:
http://www.gamereplays.org/dota2/brawl/

Announcement of change of Qualifiers (From 16 teams on Sunday for 4 Sundays to a qualifier with 40 teams on Saturday then the 16 teams Sunday)
http://www.gamereplays.org/dota2/portals.php?show=news&news_id=856622

Info about Signing up (Link is for the first round, which is has closed sign ups, 3 more rounds with sign ups of their own to follow)
http://www.gamereplays.org/dota2/portals.php?show=news&news_id=856221

Could be fun, we could likely scrape 2 or 3 teams of 6-8 together.

 

[Hylian7]

I would be interested in that, but I wouldn't recommend picking me for a team unless you absolutely need to fill in a team. I'm only decent at the game and still don't know everything (but have learned quite a bit).

Also, I wish the old battle music was back, the new music is not as good.
