Is that is an in-joke, because it should be.

Community bot scripting is cool. Been wanting that for a long time.

How Dota players really feel about LoL players:

Spoiler

That's a nice dream, but in my experience it's the other way around. A lot of League players don't even know what Dota is and outside of GAF if I talk to someone who plays League they talk about League. Every Dota player I've ever met can't wait to tell me how casual League is.

Level 25: +1s Stone Gaze Stun OR 25% Lifesteal

This ain't real.

 

[Zackat]

talents? Is this game HotS now?

I knew valve would come around to the best moba.

 

[TheyTookMyBeard]

icefrogs masterplan

It was his only way out.

Hmm... Why do we need these 5, 10, 15, 20?
Items already acheive exactly this. And it's not like you can just restart your item progression until late late anyways.

Techies:Hero Reworked

Land Mines renamed to Proximity Mines
Proximity Mines are no longer revealed with True Sight, and instead become visible when there is an enemy within 400 AoE.

 

[Twookie]

This ain't real.

i never said it was real

It's pretty sad actually.

Why can't people prefer a simpler version of the MOBA format that Dota 1 established? That's why I like playing League, it eliminates a lot of the stuff in Dota 2 that I, as a total newbie, don't like/properly understand.

lol hero talents

is this guy serious?

 

[Zafir]

So I got through to the blog page finally, and there's no patch notes. x.x

Edit: Lol, clicked updates to see if they'd put it in there instead and got an error.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This is some bullshit.

 

[Hylian7]

I know, just pointing out how obviously fake it is.

Luna
Level 25: -4s Lucent Beam Cooldown OR +15 All Stats

2 sec CD spell that stuns for 1 sec. Seems real.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

If those perks come true, I'd be quite delighted. I think it's a really good idea and makes for a lot of new stuff to learn. The last patches were way too conservative for my taste. They basically all played alike.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

At this rate the test client will be updated before the notes are out...

 

[GordonHalfman]

HoTs talents are p cool, but that just looks like a bunch of weird stat buffs. Not the frog's style.

 

[kasane]

you mean the main client

 

[Anno]

I wouldn't so much mind talents like that. Some of those seem insane, though.

Is 2016 Valve actually incapable of just releasing a polished, professionally made thing on time and without hiccups?

 

[shira]

I know, just pointing out how obviously fake it is.

 

[Fliesen]

what would be so bad about talents, though?

not a serious dota player, but wouldn't that kind of give the meta game an additional complexity?

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Damn, now my food is ready :S

Should've waited even longer when it takes hours to read all of it anyways I guess q_q

 

[DSix]

Hmm... Why do we need these 5, 10, 15, 20?

If Valve does is this it would be because they want to make money less important and have Exp matter more.

 

[Acinixys]

If they are real you have to play LoL every day for a month

 

[Aegus]

According to those notes, pocket Riki is now a real thing.

 

[RS4-]

If they are real you have to play LoL every day for a month

To unlock one hero

 

[Imp the Dimp]

what would be so bad about talents, though?

People don't like fundamental changes to stuff they enjoy. Sociology libraries are probably full of books about it.

I agree those notes are fake but I wouldn't mind to see a big shake up of the game.

 

[QuantumSquid]

It would add complexity, yes, but complexity isn't necessarily a good thing. It's depth that you want, and I'm not sure talent trees would add much in the way of depth.

To unlock one hero

Straight up false but I know you're just kidding :0

Valve time is a sad reality

 

[pompidu]

Half of these have -30sec Respawn. Yeah never gonna happen, might as well delete necro.

 

[Tart Toter 9k]

Slark:Scepter Added

Added Scepter to Slark. Reduces ultimate cooldown from 60 to 30 and causes Shadow Dance active to be a 325 AoE, hiding allied heroes underneath it.

Riiiiiiiiiiiggghhht...

 

[kasane]

m ded

 

[woodland]

They re-worked him in the notes, he no longer disables buyback or increases respawn. That 2nd thing I might misremember though, was skimming. Defs no buyback tho.

The idea in and of itself isn't terrible, and maybe if implemented correctly could work, but many of them are ridiculous and would completely ruin the game.

Someone pointed out in here that Luna's Lucent Beam is a 1s stun nuke on a 6 second CD, and one of Luna's "talents" is -4s off Lucent Beam CD. a 1s stun on a 2s cooldown....lol

Medusa has one for giving her innate lifesteal, on a hero that has a split shot and has to typically buy survivability. These would be quite awful if they were real.

 

[Drkirby]

Lich: Free midas at level 20, OR, +150 right click damage.

Seems legit.

I wouldn't be against talents, but a bunch of these are just too OP.

[Anno]

That AM scepter idea is kinda cool though. Dunno if it'd ever be bought but it's a neat way to give him one.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Discussing fake patch notes? Lowest point of 2016 confirmed!

actual image of my face rn trying to remain excited about 7.00 through all of valve's bullshit
