[kvk1]

what if ultrabum murdered one of steve's enemies on contract

and we're cheering the death of an innocent man

this is how wars start

blind adulation

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Yeah, they really went and thought outside of the box with that one didn't they

Because Valve thought outside of the box with Medusa, right?

I prefer it when every model in the game doesn't have to look like some jacked up comic book super hero to convey power.

Zeus is fine.

there's a vast expanse of design ideas and concepts that sits between Valve's current Zeus model and a common cliche rendition of classic Zeus.

Zeus currently is NOT fine. Literally nooooofuckinbody think's he's "fine". It's fucking awful. Say it with me now.

I think he's fine. He's a cute rendition that separates him from your classic models and his model is appropriate with the take that valve took. Stop trying to force your tastes unto others its honestly annoying at this point.

[rakkadakka]

Damn son that's alot of dotes for cheap.

 

[shira]

shira u tryna reach TI5 w/ me and other Toronto peeps???

I kinda wanna buy a Platinum Roshan. I don't know what is the better investment atm.

If I have a Rosh that will be forever, but TI5 is only 6 days and the CDN dollar sucks bigtime

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Congratulations Ultrabum!

Look at Smite's Zeus:

You really think there's not a problem with Dota's model?

I like Dota's Zeus wayyyy more. He needs an update to model quality and some clothing changes, but I hope they keep his face and small posture.

 

[Kade]

Hmm, actually I might go. Looks like it'll be a cheaper trip than I thought.

 

[Chris R]

I wonder if the VIP stuff will just be an addon experience? Or is floor really going to be first come first serve?

 

[Pratfall]

zeus' model is so effective. it makes getting owned by that little fuck even worse

 

[shira]

[kionedrik]

also this is the first time anyone said let's make dota look more like smite that would be a good decision

When did I say this? Comparing 2 cogs doesn't mean that I'm comparing the machines.

He needs an update to model quality and some clothing changes, but I hope they keep his face and small posture.

I agree with this. Keep his head and facial features, change his clothes and textures to something that can be identified as Zeus instead of blue Mario.

 

[Anbokr]

Slardar's model is just a travesty, it's the only straight 100% enormous fucking downgrade from dota 1. Fuck the costmetics, slardar's model is so bad that barely anyone plays the hero and I bet like .001% of the playerbase even use cosmetics for him.

Honestly, he's one of the few heroes in the game where I believe his model adversely affects both his competitive and pub pick rate. Great hero + shitty model = shitty hero.

 

[Indignate]

Slardar has items?

I thought he was one of the ones that didn't cuz nobody wanted to make sets for such an ugly ass hero.

VIP tickets = free HTC Vive headset and you run around the map in first person, hence requiring floorspace for tracking.

Spoiler

this would be awful

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I only remember that weird statue of a woman he has instead of a trident. Or was that a kunkka hat.

 

[Kade]

Is that all the Compendium goals now?

 

[rac]

my least favorite model is techies cause fuck that hero

edit: i swear if i have a nightmare with techies in it ill uninstall dota

 

[kvk1]

I was sure I was going to attend TI this year, but I'm bogged down in a long and arduous job offer process for a government gig.

Which is probably dragging on until September.

Take a Bandits picture for me.

Didn't EE have a dream where he was walking cautiously in his house because he thought there was Techies mines everywhere. Or am I dreaming about EE now?

shira i think its time for you to admit you have a problem

 

[Kade]

It wasn't a dream, it was real life. He said he played so much that when he got out of his computer chair, he avoided stepping on the floor because of Techies mines.

 

[twobear]

the thing with techies is that when you lose to him like 99% of the time it's because you did something stupid

people hate the hero when really they should hate themselves for being dumb enough to fall for it

meanwhile the genuinely op trash that's zero fun to fight against like axe, sniper, and jugg are considered 'manly' heroes

game makes no sense, #justice4techies

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

who the hell calls sniper a manly hero

he just sits back like a little bitch and yells HOHO HAHA

 

[rakkadakka]

I hate having techies on my team.

If they don't get lucky with mines or stupid enemies it's 4v5 after the initial in lane suicide shenanigans.
