No more white Skadi background, the end of an era.

 

[Balehead]

Gave the new heroes a quick spin against bots, but they are somehow even more confused than before. Totally obsessed with roshan, stuck in base with a full stash etc. Keeper looks amazing.

 

[Nanta]

I hope there is some kind of event in the future, tf2 characters in dota >.> maybe for halloween.

You have just called yourself upon thousands and thousands of death threats

 

[Drkirby]

So, Meepo next patch?

 

[Soule]

Fuck yeah, Nyx Assassin! This was the first character I ever played yeeeaaarrrrss ago and somehow had 1 good game then turned to shit and running away and not playing til late last year

 

[F!ReW!Re]

I don't know if any of you guys also noticed this or if it's a bug I had, but I played a game 2 days ago against a team that had Kunkka (love playing Kunkka myself).

Thing is, his torrent ability use to have a "pool of water" animation that would hint at the torrent being cast at a specific spot.
I kept being targeted for that torrent, but that pool of water indicator, didn't show up until the actual torrent came out of the ground...

Was this changed, or is this just some sort of visual bug??
(maybe it's only visible for Kunkka himself/his team mates????)

Yeah it's only visible for him and his team.

 

[The_Player]

So, they are boosted CM's breast by the looks of it. The one thing I don't like about Valve making Dota 2, is that they're putting too much emphasis on girls... characteristics.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Ahh must be because I've played a decent amount of Kunkka, so I kinda expected the enemy to see the torrent initiating as well..

Well that explains it then
Thanks!

So they bring them in line with the dota 1 heroes.

 

[markot]

So, whats the profit split on a key? How do they work? For the content creators I mean. I would rather buy stuff in the shop instead of keys if the creators dont get much from them >.<

 

[juicyb]

Hey, when are the new heroes added to the game? I MUST KNOW! Is it usually around 9am Est?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

So, Meepo next patch?

Meepo or Magnataur I hope.

 

[Deadly]

Hey, when are the new heroes added to the game? I MUST KNOW! Is it usually around 9am Est?

Usually at night

 

[juicyb]

Usually at night

So vague >.>

 

[Archie]

Between 6-9 PM EST.

 

[juicyb]

Between 6-9 PM EST.

Thank you ^^

 

[Moaradin]

Is it me or did they nerf Templar Assassin too much? I know she was doing more damage than she should, but it feels like she is hitting pretty soft now lmao.

 

[SamVimes]

When did they nerf her?

 

[Des0lar]

When did they nerf her?

Test server.

Meld is doing too much damage right now. It has been reduced on the test servers.

 

[Train of Midnight]

Holy shit Nyx looks fantastic. Can't wait to try him out.

Also I like the new icons for the most part.

 

[Interfectum]

i have a feeling every pub game from now on will have nyx... he's just too cool looking.

 

[Des0lar]

Don't play all pick it's a stupid mode for pub games

 

[Train of Midnight]

Don't play all pick it's a stupid mode for pub games

But it's so much easier and quicker to find an AP match than RD/SD

 

[Archie]

One day Valve will add a swap feature and I'll never play AP again.

 

[Interfectum]

what's wrong with AP?

 

[Archie]

Tryhard picks all game errygame.

 

[Interfectum]

I don't know what that means? I generally try to stick with 2-3 heroes for now just to learn them.

 

[Neki]

what archie means is that the dumpster tier pick the scumbag tier in order to become swindle tier and win

 

[Train of Midnight]

I don't know what that means? I generally try to stick with 2-3 heroes for now just to learn them.

Once you feel like you have a handle on the game itself, you really need to branch out to playing as many characters as you can, so you know how to fight against them. Not to mention you may find that you enjoy heroes you thought you wouldn't.

 

[Archie]

Neki knows what's up.

 

[Gully State]

Tryhard picks all game errygame.

My biggest problem with all pick is the virtual stare down that happens. People won't pick until the very end in an attempt to counter pick the other team. It screws your own team over as well since the setup time is completely wasted. I wish Valve would just make it so that each team takes turns picking in all- pick (10 seconds with maybe 10-20 seconds reserve time). That way the pre match setup time isn't wasted.

 

[HK-47]

So they bring them in line with the dota 1 heroes.

The less Samwise influence in Dota 2, the better.

 

[kazabi]

mouz vs darer, UD picked up by darer

 

[throwawayname]

Undying looking stronk.

 

[Artanisix]

wha vs navi on the defense

 

[injurai]

I've noticed Soloing suicide lane, and tri-laning your jungle side is very common right now. What is the benefit of this?

 

[SaberVulcan]

wha vs navi on the defense

Is Tobi's stream lagging for you? I have to refresh it constantly.

 

[the doombass]

What kind of roles do the new heros play? Any of them good at mid?

 

[Deadstar]

The less Samwise influence in Dota 2, the better.

Totally agree. I think his style fits Warcraft perfectly, but for everything else, they really need someone else who has a different take on things.

 

[Sibylus]

I've noticed Soloing suicide lane, and tri-laning your jungle side is very common right now. What is the benefit of this?

Solo XP and farm for your solo, safe farm for the hero protected on the trilane, though the trilane has to get kills to make up for the fact that the two supporting heroes will be falling behind on levels and farm. It's either get unanswered kills there or get unanswered kills later in fights, and it can be difficult in the latter case when they're underleveled.

 

[Lirlond]

What kind of roles do the new heros play? Any of them good at mid?

Visage and kotl are supports, whereas nyx is a ganking semi carry. Nyx is a fair mid, so long as you gank a lot.

 

[close to the edge]

I've noticed Soloing suicide lane, and tri-laning your jungle side is very common right now. What is the benefit of this?

If you tri-lane the safe lane and you have anything but an aggressive trilane against you, you basically get free farm for your carry hero (a trilane is 99% of the time 2 supports and 1 farmer). At the same time you hope that the suicide lane is not going horribly.

Puppey going double Hand of Midas. PUB STYLE

 

[Balehead]

mouz vs darer, UD picked up by darer

And game 2 with Naga + Disruptor.

 

[Sibylus]

Na'Vi going double Hand of Midas on Syllabear :O

And now Dagon on Tinker. Lots of burst off that Rearm and Laser.

 

[SaberVulcan]

Na'Vi going double Hand of Midas on Syllabear :O

I know, fuck. I already cringe when my pugger Solobears go double Midas. Always lose games because tunnel vision ricers. Now they will see it as a pro strat.

 

[Des0lar]

But it's so much easier and quicker to find an AP match than RD/SD

The last couple of days I have been finding RD and SD and even CM games within 3-5 minutes... No need for AP anymore.

People also waste time in single draft.

 

[Artanisix]

For anyone wondering why Dendi went Dagon:

1. It's instant cast.
2. This is the biggest one. When Morph uses eth blade, he goes into eth form too. Dagon damage is amplified by ethereal damage, laser is not. Dendi is trying to instagib Morph when he shotguns someone.

Ohh, that's why he also didn't level Laser. Cool build by him.
