Support NeoGAF

IHL2 drafting

 

[Sibylus]

I like the changes to the aoe gold for kills. There's still a rubberbanding mechanic, but it concentrates it most heavily on the behind team's support heroes. Not as sharp as it what it was and still provides opportunities to make up ground on kills.

 

[Qvoth]

holy fuck too many huge ass crazy changes to list
crazy patch

 

[Satch]

did i not say this one would happen for riki

Smokescreen now reduces turn rate by 30%

UGH, i am a PROPHET

 

[ant_]

i will never rememebr all these items

 

[Deleted member 77995]

oracle ult might as well have been an aghs change. jesus that's huge

 

[BearPawB]

We have Dota 3 yall

 

[ant_]

These changes.... While a lot of them are extremely niche and probably won't be used that often, are just overkill. This game is slowly becoming less and less of what it was.

I've heard this before. You know, every single patch.

 

[Einbroch]

the fuck am i reading

 

[harSon]

That techies change is fucking stupid. Seriously, what the fuck.

 

[shira]

Max level Deafening Blast (Quas, Wex, and Exort all at max level) is now a non-targetable circular wave released in every direction around Invoker

 

[NormalFish]

Weaver aghs is sick. Nerf to his burst damage is stupid.

**Item with +120 Attack Speed. Thank you based icefrog

 

[mfaex]

Too many new active items. Can't handle it.

 

[shira]

Weaver aghs is sick. Nerf to his burst damage is stupid.

he's a support now

 

[FACE]

I'M DONE WITH THIS GAME

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

WHAT THE FUCK ICEFROG


KUNKKA IS LITERALLY OP AS FUCK


YOU HEARD IT FROM ME AND YOU WILL REMEMBER ME EVERYTHING YOU SUCK MY WAVE

 

[JC Sera]

Icefrog has answered my prayers on support naga

 

[Satch]

hylian just did it on his stream, it is INSANE

 

[Saprol]

Alchemist now position 1 support. Gotta farm all the Aghs for his team.

 

[bbd23]

DOTA IS DEAD

 

[shira]

I'M DONE WITH THIS GAME

People are going to get refresher to refresh the sign

 

[mfaex]

You'll never rosh vs an aghs techies again.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I guess Caustic Finale is still applied by right click?

 

[BeesEight]

What? I can't be reading this Alchemist Aghanim's Scepter correctly...

Edit: I take it back. I can't be reading these patch notes correctly!

 

[PillowKnight]

This is the 120+ min game duration dota2 patch. Now carries have use for that six slotted 12000 gold sitting in their inventory.

 

[NormalFish]

Slark is the strongest carry in the game now. Gonna stack hyperstones and destroy.

 

[OnionPowder]

I, like a fool, gave up dota 2 weeks ago. After reading this patch I know that I will never leave.

 

[Kade]

yo this is basically dota 3

 

[Emerson]

Glimmer Cape seems pretty garbage.

 

[Drkirby]

The mango sounds a bit crappy.

 

[Big Dog]

Radiance sounds OP as shit now with a 17% miss chance randomly attached to the Burn aura now.

I'm interested to see the math on just how much shit can be bought at 0:00 seconds now that some starting items became cheaper I think.

and now you get less xp from creeps

all these games are going to take forever

also explains why the towers got minus armor to maybe counteract that

 

[Consequence]

So what do guardian greaves do? I build mek and arcanes with enough hero's that it could be something to use.

just combines them into one slot basically

also purges yourself

also when someone is really low in the aura it gives them tons of armor and shit

 

[Satch]

lina is the strongest hero in the game rn because of that item that lowers cooldowns on all ur skills

aghs laguna blade has 37.5 second cooldown xoxoxoxouygBJNHBJDHUDBJN

 

[Archie]

Added Aghanim's Scepter to Tusk: Adds a new ability called Walrus Kick. Kicks the target back 900 units. The kick slows by 40% for 4 seconds. 12 second cooldown

Sing going over the patch notes

 

[pompidu]

Whens the last patch that gave heros 7slots?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Great support item to removes slows, silences and shit like track/desolator/slardar's ult.

 

[Saprol]

You can have 7.5 by eating the Moon Shard for half of its attack speed.

 

[JC Sera]

Its interesting how the minefield sign, which was originally a cosmetic exclusive ability, turned into this

Spoiler

Also kill the techies arcana with fire, it led to this abomination.

 

[Qvoth]

yeah i don't understand the point of glimmer cape
heart imo is also still useless

I believe the original dota TDA had evasion, but this now makes supports like lion and pugna premium defenders, unless you have mkb supports
