Support NeoGAF

[theRizzle]

A slot just for boots. A "pet" system. Rune system like LoL. Hero fusions where 2 players control the fusion of 2 heroes. Twitch chat integration, the more memes you get the better your RNG blessings. New level cap. You can now try and romance Roshan. Aside from destroying the enemy ancient there are now 3 new endings. You choose a faction at the beginning of each month, if your faction is at the lowest of the rankings your account resets your MMR.

All gold farmed now goes into a team pool. The coach (or anyone in pub) plays as a 6th player and can spend team gold to alter terrain in real-time, as well as construct new towers and rune spawns, and other new buildings that will be introduced.

oh no, top of the page shitpost, better post something real


I will be moving back to civilization next week after living in the Arctic for almost a decade (except 2012, when I played 1200 hours of Dota in 9 months) and only getting to really play for about 2 weeks every 6 months when I went to visit family since then, so this couldn't come at a better time for me.

Boot slot is coming, bet on it. We already have consumable items (7slot), this would be a logical step in that direction.

a mod should add "patch 7.00" to the thread title

 

[Dreams-Visions]

No need, really. There is 0 chance we don't make a new thread for the actual patch notes.

 

[oRuin]

Oh you got my hopes up! Thought it was already out! Godamn!!

 

[Abilidebob]

No need, really. There is 0 chance we don't make a new thread for the actual patch notes.

Unless in the changelog there's:
-NeoGaf bought by Icefrog
-Neogaf closed. Now redirects to https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/a/a5/Bane_blink_03.mp3

:OOOOO

 

[ElNarez]

let's be honest it's probably just going to be cleaning up some of the counter-intuitive rules that don't serve any purpose but have been in Dota since forever

kinda like when they changed damage types, it's gonna seem dramatic but it's gonna be slightly meaningless, and ultimately super forgotten, in the long run

 

[Qvoth]

i actually predicted this :3

 

[Drkirby]

Same. Wish we could save versions for custom games, but this might fracture the comp scene of it's anything like different Smash games.

Valve tried it with 1 patch, it was a train wreck.

 

[shira]

I will PM a mod

Certainly expecting that in addition to Sun Wukong and balance changes. New items and map changes seem like a reasonable high-probability guess.

 

[Qvoth]

i'm not even surprised if there will be more than 1 new hero since so many are saying how big this patch is going to be

 

[sleverfunk]

I'm scared and excited for the patch. Seems like the biggest changes in history of dotes.

Hype is through the roof http://blog.dota2.com/2016/12/7-00-update-countdown/


Tomorrow we’ll release the 7.00 Update web page detailing all of the changes coming to the world of Dota, giving you a head start on learning all the info you’ll need to adjust to the new shape of battle.

The new update will be available on the Dota 2 Test client once the web page has launched, and on Monday, December 12, the 7.00 Update will go live to the world. Your clash for the Ancients will never be the same.

can't believe nobody's leaked anything yet :<

 

[Tenck]

This would cause so much collateral damage to ganking and split pushing there's no way you can feasibly implement it.

Buy Dagon bro.

 

[Sibylus]

can't believe nobody's leaked anything yet :<

And dishonor Icefrog's curtain call?

 

[Qvoth]

ehh i don't believe icefrog's retiring, i mean valve did hire him to be in charge of dota2

 

[shira]

League of Legends 2 incoming

Basically this

And prolly cosmetic sharing or some new monetization trick

 

[Glass Shark]

Shit, I'm going to start playing Dota again, aren't I?

 

[Sibylus]

ehh i don't believe icefrog's retiring, i mean valve did hire him to be in charge of dota2

He accomplished everything he hoped for and more going to Valve. If he wanted to retire while on top, it'd be difficult to argue with the timing.

 

[shira]

ehh i don't believe icefrog's retiring, i mean valve did hire him to be in charge of dota2

Someone else must be able to implement all that Riot has learned from MOBA development

 

[Deleted member 77995]

New number new developer, that's pretty standard right? Why would Dota try to buck that trend? Maybe Icefrog isn't leaving yet but bringing on some other talent to succeed him like how Icefrog was working with what's his name back in the Dota 5.xx series

 

[AngryNeox]

Let me guess:

Town Portal Scroll
-Removed from the game

Teleportation
-A new default skill for all heroes (set to "B" by default)

Teleports you to a target friendly building. Double-click to teleport to your team's base fountain.
Cooldown: 180

Teleportation Refresher
-New consumable item

Costs: 50 gold
Use: Sets the cooldown of "Teleportation" to 0.
Cooldown: 70
Can be bought with a full inventory if at a shop and will instantly be consumed.

If not expect the cost of the TP scroll to be lowered to 25 gold or something

 

[Yazzees]

I'm with you. I'm not expecting to like the patch.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Jakiro buffs please.

Spoiler

REDUCE THE FUCKING CAST POINT ICEFROG FFS

[shira]

Also update his model.

Slarjar aka pixelfishman needs it bad too

 

[KingKong]

every skill is now a skillshot

 

[terencecah]

Why does new number equal new developer?

I've been wanted to get back into dota. This could be my chance

 

[fr0st]

Cause 584 ->6.00 new developer

 

[OnionPowder]

Cause 584 ->6.00 new developer

That's a stretch, but I'm here first to congratulate Brad Muir as the new director

 

[Monochromaticx]

Following the success of overwatch, every hero will be turned to a waifu

 

[Acinixys]

can't believe nobody's leaked anything yet :<

When your dev team is only 3 people its easy to keep shit on the down low

 

[schlynch]

I'm ready.

[bounchfx]

[Oreoleo]

Buy Dagon bro.

Why didn't I think of that??? Forever 2k
