So I didn't really like mobas until my friend, big dota player, he's pretty much only playing that and starcraft, started playing with me. It's actually a lot of fun with a buddy(s) on skype.

Except that if you play on Europe West, you get teams of russians bitching at each other constantly. I mean, we're both russians and we hate to see russians on Europe West. Why don't those fuckers play on Russia.

Probably because Russian server has worse ping that Europe West, lel. It's like in Stockholm for whatever reason.

also listen Vekter if you're having problems with getting CC'd all the time it's probably because you got initiated. This game is pretty much a game of who can initiate the best and in turn if the enemy team can disengange and re-engage you'll win the fight. Especially in higher MMR you'll reach a point where one person will not and can not carry his team by himself, it'll be a full team effort.

Oh and a BKB helps a lot to not get CC'd to death/boredom.

there was a reason you couldnt sell your old BKB, and players ignored that and just bought new ones because "lol magic immunity is the most important thing in the game"

swm not nerfed too hard this patch slark not nerfed at all i think im still good

omniknight buffs why does this happen hes actually a disgusting hero in pubs as it is. not that i'm complaining.

gold changes however are still massive idk what to think abvout them yet they could be really good but also encourage ricing for 40 minutes which would be awfukl or make it so that losing 1 or 2 teamfights when you're really ahead means youve already thrown the game back in the other direction.

Image

idk how to resize that but yea. he didnt actually get 2000+ gold there on the kill, it was like 1200 which is still a fuckton. terrorblade seems like he is back to post-release cancer form in pro games but it was NA Dota so whatever.

ive been dragging my rl friends through the mud in league of legends so im a little rusty but fuck it everyone knows i pick the same 5 heroes when we queue together anyway.

It is because they realize they are losing players to LoL pretty fast, and more importantly they are realizing their not even beating LoL's competitive scene in places like Korea. LoL, despite being simpler, has a stronger focus on keeping the game competitive through the entire game where as in DOTA the first team to get a 1k gold lead bonus almost always wins. Sort of like how football is designed to have lots of scoring without people assuming the game is over 5 minutes in where as baseball drags on for an eternity with the outcome pretty much known ahead of time. Doesn't matter how good the rules are and how tight the design is if no one cares as soon as one team gets a 2 kill or 20 creep lead.

Also they are trying to emulate LoL style updates: Frequent, moderately large, and focused on gameplay tweaks. Those prevent a stagnant high end meta (Which is "exciting" for observers) and keeps casuals engaged with the game. Do not be surprised if new heroes start coming out on a monthly basis now too.

And the riki change is pretty easy to understand: Riki is super interesting to inexperienced players but not really that exciting to play at the high end because he basically ends up being a tanky damage character who just blinks one and shreks you. And worse off for onlookers he isn't doing what they want RIki to be for early game. So they made a fancy flashy chain blink for him and move his invisibility into something he can have all the time.

PL is similar, he is super strong but just looks like a blob of dude hitting you with sticks because micromanaging those things is generally only helpful jungling, and they want him to focus more on intense micromanagement so commentators can have something to talk about, hence the speed boost ability allowing you to have them harass individuals much more efficiently and the weird asymetric clone ability forcing you to use the clones as seperate command groups.

Re: doter 2

Post by miggles » #31613

everything you said is drastic overspeculation and i dont really think it has anything to do with LoL
icefrog cares about a balanced game, not player counts. VALVE cares about player counts. valve does not do the majority of the balancing.
the comeback mechanic is horribly broken at the moment, but its probably going to be tweaked heavily until its more balanced. the idea is what matters, not the individual numbers.
also, a lot of the changes in the patch were directed toward pros and high level players, not casuals. dota is probably not going to become a more "casual" game - more standardized probably (such as the changes to damage types) but not explicitly casual. the post-international patches always use the international itself to see what meta is bad and what heroes/items are too strong or too weak, because those are things pros would study and know best.
also they've had 2 updates in a month time span, one of which was just a new hero and the other a massive update, one of the most massive in recent times. that isnt really enough of an indication that they'll do "frequent, large updates." plus, they even said in the most recent blog post they dont intend to do diretide this year, in favor of a few updates this year and a huge one early next year. new heroes on a monthly basis is entire bullshit as well, since the past schedule for hero releases has been seriously erratic. there's only 4 heroes left over from dota 1 that aren't in yet. i'm excited to see what they'll do when it comes to making totally NEW heroes, but given valve's work patterns and how icefrog balances things, one hero a month would be a ridiculous assumption. do you really think they could come up with a new, unique hero every month, create all the assets for it, and balance it within one month, every month? even if they worked on multiple heroes at a time, it wouldn't work.

Riot manages to handle it.

That is just how I see it. They are trying to make Dota flashier and frankly even if Icefrog is more concerned about balance than flash (and frankly from what I have seen he really isn't and seemed more focused on keeping sacred cows in) the fact of the matter is that, yeah, valve cares about player counts and valve signs the paychecks. And some of your points make no sense. I didn't say the comeback mechanics are good or bad, I am saying Dota just did a 180 on it because Dota 2 has been BUFFING death and small leads and not nerfing them. You could say that they are not going to become more casual and you are right, because I never once said they are trying to become casual. They are trying to become more competitive in the same way LoL is. Frequent updates keeping casuals engaged is just a way to keep the pro-scene relevant, which it frankly isn't right now.

I agree, luckily your blatant as shit strawman is obvious, because I again never said that. There is a difference between "Killstreak bounties are too small and deaths and small leads to significant to keep an ongoing campaign competitive" and "You need to instantly gain the lead for getting a kill on someone who is 20-0-0"

you really are retarded
youre acting like everything im saying is part of this argument that you need to take part in
no, im not talking specifically to you, mr center of the universe. im not arguing with you over the bounties. im saying anyone who thinks the new system is good is an idiot.
and you seem to have a habit of totally disregarding points based solely on whether or not they directly counter one of your own points, as if they are the only ones that matter.

China greatly outranks everywhere else in game population.
China also has developed a metagame where they get an advantage and they keep it and it's gg in 10 minutes.
The new patch gives some new chances for yuropoor and amerifat teams to be able to actually compete against China. (They still won't china is a far greater developed competitive scene. Until europe and NA shape up and take it more seriously or they'll be stuck winning backwater tournaments and eating shit from the sponsors.)

You were directly addressing me with your first point. Then when I pointed out in counter to your point that they were strengthening the comeback mechanics you said anyone who thinks comeback mechanics need to be amazingly strong is retarded.

You were clearly addressing it to me, calling me egocentric for responding to something that is at the very least an indirect response to what I said within 10 minutes of when I posted something in direct response to you is dumb. AT the very least it was a mistake based on you being unclear on who you were talking to, at worst it is you look like an insane belligerent asshole. You should really calm the fuck down. I didn't mean to trigger some bizarre psychotic break. Taking any sort of competing mindset as a personal attack that incites such a vitriolic response is really what reveals a toxic ego. I disagree with you, get the fuck over it.

Exactly. Basically right now in the DOTA meta a match is over as soon as a good team gets a small lead, and a lot of these changes are anti-lead changes, which run counter to a lot of Icefrog's previous changes, which existed to enhance the power of the lead and make it harder to come back. I strongly suspect he was outright forced to do this by Valve, because it doesn't really make sense in comparison to his other choices, which focus less on making for exciting competitive play and counterplay and are generally more focused on generic balance while maintaining DOTA's traditional "Sucks to suck, and 1 less creep kill means you suck" structure. DOTA isn't accomplishing what Valve wanted from it, that isn't a controversial statement to make I hope and it shouldn't surprise anyone. And corporate desires generally are capable of compromising an artist's integrity.

This dezzmont sounds like a trench guy. Everything he said is completely wrong and I think he's just trying to incite a flame war.

Maybe keep that in /v/, buddy.

> dezzmont is back

Well that explains why the page was so fucking long


But yeah I didn't read any of that shit, new patch is pretty good after they toned down the gold change, tinker is just as scummy as ever and dota isn't bleeding players to LoL it was just a really disappointing international final
