It's about your 'true game content updates will be nowhere to be seen.' comment. I'm not sure why you think that comment will come true when they've released the previous content update in the middle of people complaining about immortals and stuff, I'm not sure why that would suddenly never happen anymore.
In fact, Valve has always been more active with content updates before and during TI, it's in the months after TI in which nothing happens.

I looked at this site when setting up the hero difficulty guide, but you had to buy the websites.
Its nice to see a more legit sponsor than G2A and shitty hardware makers for BTS.

Well, his brother Jeremy is semi-famous as a game music composer (Guild Wars, amongst others).
I had assumed the soundtrack was from him, but in true WTF fashion it's his brother instead.
Shenmue 3 getting made on $2 million.
Valve gonna make 22.5 shen-MOE games with compendium monies.
Wrong. Skillshot wars, Dota Strikers, OmniParty, Matt's Sniper duel are all great just to name a few.

Shenmue 3 getting made on $2 million.
it'll be more like shenmue 1.5. Half a game.

May contain jokes =>
OK, but my point was if we take Valve's current output for this game, which is truly minimal compared to its competitors, and add to their schedule 4 mini-TIs throughout the year, each likely with its own compendium, nearly their entire year is going to be comprised of these unproductive gear-up/gear-down periods after the events.
All I'm saying is that this new format is going to have them increasingly focused on more cosmetics and even less on actual game updates, of which there are already incredibly few.
Honest question, what competitors? League and Hots? I wouldnt even count hots since its a newer release so of course its gonna get plenty of updates, so are you comparing this solely to league?

Yes, League is Dota's primary competitor, but as you said there are some other smaller ones too.
I think you are underestimating the work going into Source 2. They're fixing engine bugs at a pretty decent rate.
I would love if Valve produced new game content on a reliable schedule. New hats, new heroes, new game modes, new maps. But I don't think that's the kind of company Valve will ever be.

Hey look another competent huskar player on my team. /s
Truly minimal when they just pushed out an entirely new client based on an updated engine that they are patching multiple times a week. OK.

Merlini's theorycrafting videos are so good. Now I have ammo to convince my friends not to buy midas on every carry.

Just checked my word cloud
Not as bad as I expected
I also just lost my first match as Ogre Magi fighting against a phantom cancer
Once he gets diffusal it's gg pretty much if you are slightly behind in farm, and got nothing that can effectively counter him (the nasty fucks covered the earthshaker pick too )

no way, mjollnir's active is absolutely terrifying to fight into as PL and works on a ton of carries (PLs don't get BKB); it can be purged but whatever, most PL players are too dumb to realize that
bfury works, too, and supports can always pick up a veil
valve confirmed lying about jeremy soule composing. filthy no hat giving liars
music is legit good tho. I was using the metal pack for a while and tbh, it got a bit old after about 10 hours. New bloom music was aite, but this is probably the first pack I can see leaving as default over the regular music.

im going to boycott half life 3 in protest
Right, I think it's important to remember just how long Leeg players have been waiting for stuff like replay support. Our client already kicks the shit out of theirs, and with the new tournament features and custom games, this advantage is only going to stretch further. It's not the same kind of investment as Rito is making, but it's not nothing.

Thanks for the advice, mjollnir's actually makes a lot of sense will keep in mind.
The main problem was they got deep into our t3 towers within 20 mins, at that point we couldn't even leave the base and I was even more farmed than our void. This PL was far from dumb, he even purged himself from a medallion Venge casted on him and he always focused on supports, there was a slim chance of us winning that game.
Next time I face him I will go either doom or earth spirit for the ultimate cure for cancer.

You gotta sing in through steam in order to get access to those features.
Btw, cause the dota reborn client is absolute shit on mac, can someone tell me if the map is different enough that I should put off taking screenshots for my warding guide for when reborn comes out, or using current map screenshots will be fine?
i would probably hold off
there are some significant changes to certain parts of the map
