Yep. With all my love to Valve this is just absurd. Obviously they realize that their way of releasing heroes isn't as good as community demands, but instead of making weekly polls on the hero released next they went for a quick cash grab. Community may not reach that last goal, but be sure they will try. Ugh.

<10 Heroes left to port over, it's not actually that enticing. All heroes will be coming out relatively soon too I suspect, but the impatience of the community will definitely drive it closer to that ridiculous goal.

Spoiler

I'm fine with that, just gimme all the other previous goals.

 

[Artanisix]

With around one hero coming per month, it IS pretty enticing. You might be waiting around ten months for your favorite hero to come out.

 

[shira]

Valve must be pretty excited about all the money they're going to win.

iG is winning the scraps.

Man Chen is Too Fucking Fun, so much to do in jungle double stacking camps to kill with tornado. Solo push lanes too good.

Are you OCD enough to have 2 wildkins constantly stacking and tornadoing all game - sending them back to fountain since they only have mana for two??

xx:54 as Chen drives me nuts

 

[SteveWinwood]

Uggggh just lost a game as Troll

no you didnt

 

[snack]

Techies, the $3.2 million hero

Hah, pretty much!

 

[The Technomancer]

no you didnt

Yaaaaay that was fun

 

[Drkirby]

I think Razor would be perfect if they just upped the break range of his static link to 800.

Dear god I hope not, they need to have an official release for this game already and I feel like they would want to do so with a complete roster/parity update with Dota 1. Always count on Valve Time though, hasn't failed yet :[

 

[snack]

Okay, so assuming that we reach $2,600,000 via compendium sales, a $10 item gives you :

* A Courier
* A 95 day 225% Battle Bonus
* A Custom HUD (Matching the TI3 theme, most probably)
* A Custom Taunt
* An Immortal
* Techies 3) ($3,200,000)

Best buy ever!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Yaaaaay that was fun

Between beastmaster aura, troll ult, and veno wards, it was an unstoppable pushing machine.

I am sad the bm aura doesn't work on veno wards though

 

[GorillaJu]

You talk about custom taunt and HUD skin - if it gets to that point then it means everyone and their mother has it. It's no longer custom its just default

Agree. But I guess the compendium stuff is more like rewards.

 

[SamVimes]

Thanks again to the awesome gaffer that gifted me the compendium yesterday!

 

[Drkirby]

So, who's ready for Legion Commander, the PL counter.

But you still get all of that for just 1 purchase. No matter how rare or not it is.

God damn dem stretch goals. If they reach the final one the dota community is awesome.

Or we just want Techies DAT badly.

 

[Drkirby]

Wonder which hero would get the taunt. Maybe Rubick.

PL gonna get buffed.

..till you Duel one of his illusions.

 

[GorillaJu]

TBH I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to cosmetics but I hate that NaVi QOP set.

 

[Sibylus]

..till you Duel one of his illusions.

Not if you check the illusion blob with Overwhelming Odds first.

WE HAVE THE LATE GAME

I missed it, musta been epic.

Well we all know you love shitty qop sets.

 

[Haly]

I missed it, musta been epic.

About 40 minutes of turtling against megas.

 

[Conceptor]

what a game

milk you woulda had it if it wasn't for those meddling kids

 

[Artanisix]

officially retiring from dota after that match

 

[Filth]

SNITCHES GET STITCHES.

 

[Hylian7]

I did it, I successfully played Maapo.

My K/D wasn't great, but once I got Scepter, the towers and raxes just started dropping. I was outpushing Phantom Lancer. It was glorious!

[Filth]

if wisp wasnt picked we would have had that match.

 

[Sanjay]

I missed it, musta been epic.

They had mega creeps, it looked bleak, but we dug in, wanted it more, had the willpower, we desired it more, what you do in Dota, echoes in the equilibrium for a lifetime.

 

[JustinBB7]

How many compendiums does Valve need to sell for that last goal anyway..

I don't think your Platinum-level analysis quite sees what happened in that match.

 

[Procarbine]

I don't think your Platinum-level analysis quite sees what happened in that match.

I think you're too busy regurgitating pellets to play dota owl-san

 

[Anbokr]

can we just change procarbine's tag to "forever platinum"?

19,660.

 

[Xater]

Beaten!

As long as I am getting goal 3 and 4 out of this I'm good.

 

[Spookie]

19,660.

That all? Hmm. Seems doable.

 

[Drkirby]

That all? Hmm. Seems doable.

Yeah, but it may take some time for the HUDs. I think its going to slow down a lot till the main event.

Or I could have my shiny new HUD by the time I get up. I don't know about these things.

 

[shira]

Wonder which hero would get the taunt. Maybe Rubick.

Pudge or Drow guaranteed.

TBH I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to cosmetics but I hate that NaVi QOP set.

The wings feel properly placed, unlike the previous 2.
It feels very outlandish and bold like Navi.

 

[Ze Prince]

How many compendiums does Valve need to sell for that last goal anyway..

they need to sell 499,495 compendiums from now to TI3 to reach the 3,200,000 goal which is not possible in my opinion

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah 499,495 compendiums seems impossible considering the size of the current active user base and the low percentage of people that generally use the shop in f2p games.

They need to add an incentive for people to buy multiple compendiums or open up the beta in China and let them buy it.

 

[shira]

Well if they do "magically" hit the goal it would really be a show of force in the face of LOL and HON.

 

[Sigismundo]

Real talk here: I don't see anyone actually beating Techies for that goal.

Xin and Zet might come close due to how absurdly broken they are but they're nowhere near as infamous.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

TBH I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to cosmetics but I hate that NaVi QOP set.

The wings look great, everything else kinda sucks, especially that crown/head-dress

 

[Dmax3901]

Theoretically, if the community picks the hero that Valve has done the least work on, won't that mean that we'll get no heroes for ages?

 

[Conceptor]

For the auto spectate command, where does one find out the game ID for specific matches? Like another tournament series
