So without DotaGAF's cynical bullshit how often does Icefrog actually take feedback from pro players (that we know of)?

i learned a lot of russian today, just google translate and audio and tried to repeat what they said in team chat, guys didnt know english at all so idk, at least they know that i like tomatoes and cucumbers
even if you do it slowly, its probably worth it, just really try to use the hotkeys when its possible, i abuse (as most people do) right clicking on my hero with the courier, then when im ready put the bottle on courier and just a fast q+(r+)+shift-f (shift queues commands) to send the courier home and back to you.
well, he does it between every (balance and big) patch at least, and you can clearly see that most fixes are due to pro balance issues (as in how icefrog thinks what direction the game should go towards)

yes, after 12 years of dota i decided to change to non-legacy hotkeys

So, about the DP witchcraft changes you guys were talking about. This is a prime opportunity to bring back zephyr. Do it icefrog do it. Not sure how i'd feel about it if summoned spirits replaced ult spirits, having a weaker ult would suck. But bringing zephyr into dota would be pretty cool.
For non hon players; zephyr was a hero that spawned tornadoes around him when he last hit creeps. These tornadoes would deal damage around him and would heal zephyr when they expired.

ya really even high-tier players don't necessarily need a ton of micro skill to be effective.
it helps, especially with efficiency, to learn some basic stuff but mostly if you just set some hotkeys and get used to pushing them in a certain order it's not rough.
it's not something crucial, like tread switching.

I'm not sure he wants to bring HoN heroes that he didn't create into Dota. That's why I don't think we'll see Puppet Master.
zephyr in dota would be awesome
your ideas are as shit as ur spectre rank was Kappa

It'd be pretty op, but that's the way it usually goes with hero redesigns. Looking forward to dp being crazy op only to be nerfed into irrelevance.
I literally don't remember shit other than him having tornadoes that was similar to some dota 3.x shit. Then again, I guess the play style was similar to how you played dp at some points.
Also, I'm at the point I wouldn't even mind HoN heroes, as long as it's not one with 4 activateable nukes.

Oh I wasn't proposing porting zephyr over. Just adding his tornado spawning skill to witchcraft.

Spawn a ghost after killing an enemy creep that behaves like DP ghosts for X duration. With a max Y ghosts.

Not carrying a tp as a split-pusher is definitely a problem. Whenever I buy one I like to buy a few at a time so I'm never caught out later without the funds to buy one. What you can do when split-pushing is check inventories to see who has tp's and start making decisions on who you can handle in a fight and who you should be wary of. Think of who has what abilities or items to initiate on to you. Ideally you could push a lane to force the enemy team to defend, tp back to your own tower and then fight them while they are down a hero or kill the defending hero and take tower/rax if they don't have enough people with tp scrolls.
Concerning micro it is important that you start microing correctly first and then ramp up the speed as you build muscle memory.
? they were busy preparing new patch....

Because people are stupid.

I forgot to buy that on sale. I always liked the soundtrack (although the PS4 version's soundtrack is dreadful)
"So uh we had this tournament that's already over..."
At first I thought you were referring to the disbanded team Purge and Blitz were on.
