Something like 8 basic colors on the store for like $10 each would be nice.

I like the move to make the arcanas include an entire set to go with them.

Edit: TI4 is in the cover of the new York Times, I wish I was in the shot

$80?

I'd rather have it so that you can tie gems to your account permenantly/untradable instead of destroying them. I just wanna play dressup with my terrorblade.

Dota2 is truly the doll dressup simulator.

Something tells me he didn't mean 8 gems in a forced combo pack.

Oh I agree, I just found the timing amusing.

diff between a good caster and a bad one

capitalist, sheever, zyori or w/e his name is 9/10 just play captain hindsight or call things as they are happening.
Yes zyori, I can also see that skeleton king has his ult up, and no I don't care what the strongest hero or the trash tier heroes are

The good ones like some of the pro players joining to cast (aui etc) analyze the state of the game and explain what they will want to do next or what mistake is just starting to unfold

It's the same with the drafts, some can read less obvious drafts, others only know the cookie cutter stuff or only comment after a hero is picked. Their 'insight' is limited to what lanes a hero might go to...

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I find it dumb that people on the dev boards are opposed to putting the custom mine icon as part of the mine and the custom mini-map and hero icon as part of the hat. Right now all the icons are tied to the bomb cart.

I don't like his either. I don't like the hats and plan to swap them as soon as Techies have other items. The hats being in the icons doesn't really matter to me, I just want the special ones

And everything special about an arcana should be on the arcana itself. Not everyone with the arcana will have the entire set or want to use the entire set. Custom mini map and hero icons are exclusive to Arcanas, adding them to a legendary item basically makes Arcanas pointless if legendarily can do everything they can

[The_Hitcher89]

Enable console (steps 2 and 3), open Dota press the tilde ` key (below and to the left of ESC), then enter the command

dota_spectator_auto_spectate_games 1

Set it to 0 if you want to stop auto spectating,

Cool, cheers

 

[Demoli]

Dota ahs been harsh for me lately.

Dull ass 10 min deathball so strong that even antipush heroes don't work agaisnt it.

Void/Tinker/Razor every game.

Constant aggression at all times.

And the worst is knowing it will be like this 'till Diretide.

I miss 6.78

On this note, anyone else impressed with Blaze's return to casting (at least I think it's a return). A year or two back he was universally regarded as the worst caster, but since he has been on BTS he honestly catches and reports on a lot of small details in team fights that a lot of non-pro casters miss.

i honestly want tinker and void to be nerfed to the ground.

Every fucking game. Void pickers literally get free wins every game. Nerf chrono CD to the ground volvo.

ppd about to show some insight into the game
gets interupted 'what's your favorite color hero?

Now might be the time to buy a prismatic gem since they are about to skyrocket in price come Techies Arcana release...

 

[Emerson]

Valve still putting in that work on Sunday.

They're still high from the terrorblade arcana. They used to be cents.

I dont even mind Void so much

Skywrath is my biggest hate

A damage amp + 6 sec silence in one low CD spell

Destroys like 60% of the hero pool

 

[Drkirby]

I wonder how long until an arcana uses ethereal gems.

Right but they are about to go higher.

What does the arcana even modify?

The orange in the bombs? Or the explosion?

If it's just the inside of the cannon, I'm not sure what is going to look better than orange

Never. Crystal Rift is like the blink animation particle

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Hey a second beta update before 9 am Where Valve is at. Is it safe to get slightly more excited?

Well I doubt they would do an update on a Sunday or a holiday so.... Tuesday?

 

[Raytow]

I'm secretly hoping for a 6.82 patch along with techies, they just like surprises.

Probably the most hilarious game I played lately.
Both teams were evenly match then after a few teamfights our time got an upper hand.
We destroyed the mid rax and bot. Then suddenly AM and NP disconnected.
Radiant went one way on mid but our morph was able to get mega creeps.
So me(es), zeus and morph just sat in our ancient and watch them try to defend their ancient.

 

[Qvoth]

Hello Neogaf, you lot seem pretty cool, in this crazy mixed-up internetworld.

just wanna say that i've been a fan ever since i heard that axe rap song
please please do another one!

 

[JawesomeJaw]

I just meant the fact they are working so early on a Sunday in a holiday weekend seems notable.

Hard to do CPR on a dead game.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I wonder how many non-Americans will assume the update will hit tomorrow and be angry when it doesn't.

 

[Emerson]

You certainly may be right but they've been working all weekend already so who the hell knows what they'll do.

 

[Mohasus]

The only thing I know is that I'll be angry regardless of what happens.

6.82? fuck icefrog shit eater doesn't know how to balance this game
techies? oh cool free losses. useless on my team, the most imba hero on the other
stupid hats? please valve stop focusing on this shit and make the game better

 

[W1SSY]

Oh mylanta Zyori is annoying.

There are a lot of bad casters but he's the only one I can't can't even stomach listening to

 

[Shepard]

This patch needs to go, such predictable picks.

 

[Hylian7]

Why does anybody edge pan

Because Middle Mouse just feeds two awkward for me.

Fucking Razor, SWM, Void picks.

I can see that depending on your model, my new mouse has a shitty M3 click (goes to the sides as well) so I put it on one of the side buttons. It's the dragging mechanic that's superior.

Did you ever play Starcraft or War 3 before playing dota? Edge pan is just second nature at this point.

 

[Mohasus]

I feel like every team is worse after those shuffles. Surely it takes sometime to adapt/adjust new players, but still. :/

 

[Schweinehund]

Weird, my dota 2 just went into super lag mode while playing Enfos with a friend, like the cpu was bottlenecking, character movements were queued.

i agree. the fact that one of the hardest carries in game can solo offlane without issues should tell you something about how op he is right now. 6.78 is where dota 2 was awesome. this fast push crap is annoying. tinker is just boring. dont really care about tinker.
