you can write this exact same post for literally any patch
Is there really that many patch where there was a fotm hero with a pick rate ( in pub ) as big as current sniper, and for as long ? I don't check it that often, but I remember drow beating pudge at the pick/number of game at some point, but I think it wasn't very long or by the same margin. Centaur maybe did it for a week.

I really wonder if part of this was also a test for custom game modes. I imagine now they're going to take another look at how they can monetize those, since this system isn't popular and probably won't work.

I have no doubt they will use it for another game. I'm not sure it can be un-curated though.. it will be good for games in the long run, I think. It's also not for every game, and shouldn't be shoehorned in to make a buck. It needs to make sense.


as for custom game modes.. I'm expecting those with Source 2 maybe. I miss how starcraft/warcraft 3 handled them, which was rudimentary but a lot better than what dota has. I want to see a list of mods IN GAME with the option of letting me download/try them right there. Not some shit hidden away on the steam website :\

They could do the bold move and try again this week with Dota, but I imagine they will at least hold off for a few months With something else.
 
I still don't know where this popgaf thing is, but I doubt it could handle my occasionally-growing playlist.

didnt work. I tried just the numbers, then without backlash, nothing

same

dang
tried both IE and chrome. maybe I'm missing a plugin.

edit: okay, I got it to work. I literally just kept pressing the button. I guess I got $599.49 in the dotes. I can almost buy a first gen ps3!!!

I might actually sell some of this shit. I'm not attached to it nor really a collector, but then again even if I could buy more games I have no time to play them. :|

Breaking News : Much expected 6.84 dota patch was found dead at his hotel room. Police suspects gunshot wounds found at victims body might be caused from a long range rifle. Witnesses reported "Hoho" "Haha" sounds was heared right before shooting.

Played my first Troll Warlord game in 8 months to see what all the hype was about.

Reworked Mud Golems:



Mud Golems no longer have Spell Immunity
Mud Golems now have 50% Magic Resistance
Mud Golems armor reduced from 2 to 0
Mud Golems now split into two smaller Mud Golems, called Shard Golems, when they die (they have 30% of the original units' health and damage, and only live for 60 seconds)
Mud Golems movement speed increased from 270 to 310
Mud Golems (and also Shard Golems) have a new active ability: Hurl Boulder (0.6 second stun, 125 damage, 30 cooldown, 800 range). They do not automatically cast this
Gold/XP bounties rescaled so the total value for the camp remains the same (Mud Golems 32/42 Gold/XP each, Shard Golems 13/23 each)
