So, has the summit forgot that their branding is being a homestory like cup? From what I have heard, the steam is pretty awful.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Seriously. Pro-casters are sooooo good, i don't care about the lack of hype, the insight is much more entertaining, especially from a panel of 2-3 pros.

Same I am loving this talk between fata notail and even EE.

 

[Shinypogs]

Yep, at least some of it. It was so good. They have great chemistry.

They are my Tastosis for Dota 2, the right mixture of info, hype and fanboyism.

 

[bbd23]

LMAO EE

 

[Monochromaticx]

Jacky Mao go!

 

[Dina]

EE voice give me homicidal thoughts

"gamewinning fight"
"they've lost it"
"they're done"

Dude is more black and white then a chessboard.

 

[TUSR]

[t0rment]

[poppedcollar69]

i keep hearing dagon when that one guy (notail?) says dagger

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Honestly it's gg

Only reason they won't is because it's too embarassing to gg after 5 minutes.

 

[G.ZZZ]

This patch games are the worst shit , nice tournament you got there BTS

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

LGD pls.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Worse than TI4 finals thx icefraud

 

[Divvy]

This is a worse stomp than yesterday's VG-C9 embarassement

 

[Cincinnatus Powell]

what a stomp

 

[TUSR]

io top 3 net worth

 

[Zeknurn]

I think it's great that they have made pro games accurately represent my pub games.

 

[Monochromaticx]

This is a worse stomp than yesterday's VG-C9 embarassement

at least LGD got kills under their name.


I miss the games from DAC

 

[xanavi]

This brutal fatalism with which they report the deaths of everyone in mid. RIP

 

[G.ZZZ]

"best patch ever" - said random 4k americlap

 

[TUSR]

end the suffering LGD

[G.ZZZ]

This ain't funny to watch at all, you basically watch first 5 mins then play heartshstone because theg ae 's already vero

 

[poppedcollar69]

this is like watching pacman chase ghosts

 

[Acinixys]

RTZ with 16 minute Pipe + Crimson

 

[Aegus]

I want Dazzle to be higher than the SF. Do it Puppey!

 

[Shinypogs]

Zai's going to end up with the most farm again isn't he?

 

[Anbokr]

"best patch ever" - said random 4k americlap

for my pubs, most definitely

i can dive t3 without worrying about giving all the enemy supports a force staff or ghost scepter and giving the enemy carry half of his skaadi

 

[mysteriousmage09]

 

[theRizzle]

Secret must be loving this patch so far

 

[G.ZZZ]

This message was hidden because it was written by a random 4k americlap

Jokes aside, deathballs have never been a problem in pubs. This patch would've been fine with just the new items, hero changes and gold distribution change. The nerf on comeback gold/creeps gold make comp games just so unwatchable i'm seriously hoping for an emergency 6.84c because if after 2 weeks tournaments are already this bad it's gonna be even worse than TI4.

 

[Kalnos]

tfw when you're a random 4k americlap

 

[shira]

Fun patch

 

[t0rment]

if ti5 is on this patch it'll be worse than ti4.

Deathball really can be a problem in pubs, I've seen games lost that are only dragged out just because the other team is just playing with their food before ending it (aka not grouping up and pushing to end).

and only a few games had this deathball boring fest. There were some great games in TI4
So far every game deathball shit.

ee is highlighting my issue with the comeback mechanic of 6.82/6.83 (rubberband) right now:

He's talking about how shortly after 6.82 he didn't give a shit about the draft, just yolo draft and pick terrorblade, get outplayed the whole game, down 50-20 in kills (c9 being the 20), yet still win the game because of the rubberband. Shit like that should never happen. The comeback mechanic took a lot of the strategy out of the drafting stage and marginalized the laning stage. You can argue that now the drafting and/or laning stage is too important, but I'd rather see some happy balance between 6.83's comeback mechanic and 6.84's lack thereof. Meet in the middle with small buffs to the xp/gold factor.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I vastly prefer "deathball" over the Dota 2 Kart Rubberband. It was super annoying being a support and your carry diving past highground and suddenly the enemy team has like 2 new items )))))))))))))))))))))))

TI4 came toward the end of 6.82 life and we had several tournaments before nowhere as deathballish. EG played super greed style up to TI4 where they came third.

This summit tournament for now it's just a disaster.

 

[RS4-]

Rubber band patch and matches were just awful.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Okay can we at least be clear about something?

What is happening is not deathball, teams are losing before the opposition groups up as 5, this is snowball.

[bbd23]

So now that the summit sucks where are the immortals and compendium patch?

Yeah FATA even said that they got so outplayed that game yet still won
