Shut the fuck up and buy it kid

>>377337275
...yes sir

DUDE PORTAL LMAO

I'm not defending Valve but that shit is going to cost so much money nobody's going to have it. The non-thematic skins are getting really fucking out of hand, though.
>>377337958
That's the point, the only idiots wasting money on are it are the CAKE IS A LIE XDDD self-proclaimed gamers who hardly play dota.

Valve is worse than EA
Debate me faggots

>>377338720
ok

>>377338561
Valve isn't directly responsible for the death of a myriad other studios, which alone makes them better than EA.

how long until we get tf2 skins

>sniper sniper
>spy riki
>engi tinker

etc. etc.

that's legit good and very inventive, since you don't have much to work with the base model. But le jaded 4channers will complain, as always

>>377339573
this is the first time a skin has been completely outside the realm of the game

of course people will complain

>>377338561
Valve keeps PC gaming alive for half a decade

EA killed Westwood.

Just for that cardinal sin, I will personally go Sandy Hook on their ass if I was diagnosed with a terminal disease

Hardly anyone with a common sense plays Io anyways in pubs and it also requires you to get a lvl 245 compendium (takes roughly 109$ to get that high) so nothing wrong with it IMO

Every character in DotA has like 10 meme voice lines compared to league having like 10 in total across the 100 or so characters

>>377347208
Every league character has like 10 lines vs every dota character having over 100 so statistically that seems about right

I'm only kinda mad about the terrains, yeah that underwater terrain is pretty cool ok. But why are terrains seasonal? I should just be able to use them whenever I want.

>exclusive to this ti only
>you must pay about 100 dollerydoos to get it
>not tradable
>not marketable

fucking cancer

I remember back in the day when that cowboy clothing set for Ursa made the Dota 2 community so fucking mad. It was amazing.

Yes there's no possible way this will lead to more retarded shit, Valve has self control.

Silly shit sells. Fuck the integrity of the original artstyle we have MONEY to make.

>>377336810

Portal is a meme game.

Alpine Ursa fits perfectly with their current art direction.

Really makes u think,,,

>>377349313
Valve sure is capitalizing on everything to do with their games and Steam as a whole. There's literally never a time when they're not making massive amounts of cash.

>>377338561
EA has absorbed and killed many a developer
Valve has only killed itself.

>>377349313
He's an idiot.

You can buy a pass, sell the treasures, buy the skins you want, and STILL come out ahead.

Though it doesn't really work for TI battlepasses now that they won't let you sell your hats and shit for an entire fucking year.

Hopefully they won't do the same to the major battle passes.

What I don't get is why would they keep hoarding money and do absolutely nothing with it, keeping skeleton crews going for their old games. What's Gabe's endgame? Is he planning to build a Scrooge McDuck style Manor? Are they saving up for the apocalypse? What the fuck are they doing all day?

>Valve keeps PC gaming alive

Fuck, I'm convinced now, they ARE worse

>>377349937
Fucking around and taking extra long lunch breaks cause why not

I only watch pro DotA and don't play it myself. Pro matches are now a clusterfuck of flashy arcanas and immortals that completely jar with the base hero and make teamfights a nightmare. A lot of these are so rare and cost so much you won't see them ingame while playing, but watching pro dota is a fucking mess.

TELL ME THIS

WHY

Why are those games so popular with casual players? They're not easy at all to get into, they require tons of knowledge and investment, before you can enjoy them you need to spend hours and hours learning stuff. How did they become a worldwide phenomenon

>>377350187
Cause Dota 2 is free. That's it.

>>377350187
because casuals dont give a flying fuck about being good, practicing, or ruining their team's games. plus all the retarded skin shit attracts them, so they just care about playing a hero that looks cool and killing the bad guys, not actually learning the game and playing as a team.

>>377350085
I know what you mean, I keep the game installed because it's so much better to fuck around in the stats while a pro game is going on instead of dealing with twitch, but all those flashy skins are a mess to look at. I wonder how the players manage to play without their eyes bleeding.
>>377350187
>free to play
>highly competitive and tryhard even in pubs
>can run on literal toasters
Also they're preinstalled in internet cafes in third world countries

>>377350187
Remember how Dark Souls was all hard to get into and required knowledge and investment? Casuals eat this shit up so they can say "I can play a hard game."

>>377350187
because it's casual and you're exaggerating on the learning curve. the skill floor is braindead easy but yes, there's a fuckhuge high skill ceiling or knowledge barrier
remember, this genre came out because Warcraft 3 pvp was too hard for casuals

>>377336810

>Valve goes on record saying they don't want to make skins that clash with the aesthetic
>That's all they've done for the past two years

>>377350187
because you can pretend you're not bad when there's teammates to blame

>>377350582
>this genre came out because Warcraft 3 pvp was too hard for casuals
>implying the genre didn't start with Aeon of Strife in StarCraft
Lurk moar newfag

>>377350616
It's cause those skins sell more then aesthetic-keeping skins and we all know just how greedy Valve is these days.

>>377348818
it was an example just use your imagination

an orb of gears and mechanical parts that shoots out electricity, a water-themed one, some kind of eldritch artifact that has a corruption aura around it

possibilities are endless

>>377350724
starcraft pvp was too hard for casuals too

>>377350582
>this genre came out because Warcraft 3 pvp was too hard for casuals
yeah I'm sure the first person who made dota thought "I'm gonna make a map to appeal to casuals that think wc3 is too hard"

>>377336810

what does a subjective opinion of a individual has to do with the quality of a game?

>>377349485
My favorite games are marios and zeldas, so no.

>>377336810
Why can't this game just become Valve heroes of the storm? Add in Chell, Gordon Freeman, the TF2 guys, etc and call it a day.

>>377338561
the only major thing that valve does wrong is not making games anymore. the cosmetics won't help you to win and you can get some of them by random drop.

Basically, they have freedom to move in any direction they choose because of this money

>>377336810
Portal 3 confirmed faggots everyone knows that this kind "costumes" in dota 2 is almost non-existent.

Prove me wrong faggots.

>>377350616
They sadly have to do it if they want to keep making money. There's a point where everything starts to look similar, and flashy garbage with bright colors and particles is what people actually wants, regardless of what the vocal minority says.
