*kills your favorite game*

If your favorite game were either of these dull pieces of shit you'd be better off killing yourself.

It's a scenario refuting the claim that Dota 2 is unkillable.
If Volve wants to, they can kill Dota. If you are stuck with the HOHO HAHA patch for two years, you will kill it.
Artefact was just an exampe for a new IP, Valve may reroute their manpower to. They won't do it, because a fucking card game is not worth it.

>>388203851
They do? What the fuck are they doing then?

>>388203821
you could add one hero to dota and it would be enough to change things up drastically. i know it's difficult for your meme spouting brain to get it's head around but simple map changes, balance tweaking and a new hero tend to be all the game needs for the gameplay to end up changing in new and varied ways.

meanwhile in heroes of the storm or some other shitty moba you get the devs throwing maps at the game left and right with no regard for balance or actual map design (all of hots's maps are a boring mirror flip).

>>388203863
monkey king came out last year though.

>>388203975
Gamifying a game with insignificant shit like quests and levels and making a killing out of it.

>>388203975
You know how valve works, right?
There is no "rerouting of resources", valve employees work on the project they wish to work on, so if everyone at valve decides to push artifact there's no more dota development.

>>388201821
How do you kill a game?

>>388204129
Right, Valve employees have just collectively decided to monetize the fuck out of everything like a hivemind.

7.00 was released a in January, big major patch new hero, new map changes, item changes etc.

since then 7.06
Last TI7 (biggest esport event btw with 24million dollar prize pool) 110 hero were played from 120 or so, because of incredible good balance and versaility.

2 new heroes on the way with Valve announcing they will release heroes more often.

This game isn't going to die under soon

>>388201821
fuck you

>>388204251
>110 hero were played from 120 or so, because of incredible good balance and versaility.
Most of those heroes was picked only ONCE in over 100 games. in a vast majority of the games it was just the same 20 heroes over and over again.

Just play any matchmaking game at any MMR, only like 20 heroes are picked

>>388204234
stop talking like an idiot. selling a game for $x is monetizing it. releasing a game for free and funding further development through microtransactions is also monetizing it. one is designed for a single release and no updates post launch whereas the other is designed for long term development of a game. tf2 would not have a sizable playerbase today if it had not received further development, and it would not have gotten further development if it was not commercially viable. that is the reality of the situation. basically every multiplayer shooter before tf2 would die a year or two after release unless it was something like quake which had that niche core of hardcore fans- and you don't really want an audience of less than a thousand people.

you can complain about microtransactions and hats and skins all you want but at least realise that without those then the game would be dead. accept that releasing dota with ALL the heroes free is actually one of the best things valve did for the game and that it isn't as shitty when compared to what other market leaders are doing.

False dotabuff.com it clearly shows pickrate distribution across all mmr.

Picked 1, that's fair enough to be viable in certain situation, while 80% of LoL heroes not viable in any situation because they all do the same shit damage, or heal except some does less number wise.

>>388201923
It's kinda safe to say they killed rts

>>388204553
You can slice it however you want, the hippie propaganda of employees having free reign is still bullshit and there's clearly a very tight management grip over production.

>>388204812
doesn't sounds like a tight grip if all they ask is "you can make any game you want, just make sure it's commercially viable". it is first and foremost a business after all. you're a retard.

>>388201821
I know it's a shitpost, but as Valve's biggest game DotA is going to catch all the blame. The fucking card game isn't helping.

People already blame DotA for killing RTS, now we'll have HL3 on our heads when the true cause of both deaths is that people just stopped caring.

>>388205160
Last time I saw an outsourced post so blatant was during the paid mods shitstorm.

>>388204489
>Most of those heroes was picked only ONCE in over 100 games.
4 heroes were picked once.
3 heroes were picked twice.
>In a vast majority of the games it was just the same heroes over and over again.
Not gonna spoonfeed you on this one, look the stats up yourself and see how wrong you are.

>>388205501
As if HL3 or RTS could ever be as like as Dota.
Dota is just the better game.

Always in this kind of threads the dotafags always seem to get so fucking defensive.
I wonder why.

>>388211105
Because people usually say stupid ass shit about the game. If you don't like it, just say that, no need to make shit up.

>>388211450

Not what I said, you can feel free to not like the game and criticize it. The problem is usually that when people talk about dota meta and gameplay, 99% of time they are just making things up.

>>388210326
Release 2 per year and being viable, ornrelease 10 and get lost in the metavoid as useless as f lolfags.

>muh "quality vs quantity" argument

Dotafags are indeed a breed to be studied upon.

>>388216320
Monkey King isn't even close to the craziness of certain heroes from wc3 dota time. Old Spirit Breaker, Gambler etc

Friendly reminder that Dotard 2 is a game that boasts to have over 100 playable characters but only 15 of them are actually viable in any given meta.

>>388211259
>Because people usually say stupid ass shit about the game.
Criticism is not stupid ass shit, idiot.

>>388217828
Man, Dotard 2 sounds like shit. Glad I'm playing Dota, where 106 of the 110 playable characters are viable.

>>388218198

I hope that when Valve dies and a company like EA or Activision absorbs Valve, Valve will be forced to cancel Dota 2 and develop Half-Life 3. After all, Dota 2 is a financial and commercial failure.

>>388219493
There's a good reason valve doesnt make anymore games

He's right idiot, this isn't league where u see the same pick and bans every game bc "LCS KOREAN META HURRDURR" in dota most heros are viabale and used as counters.

Reminder that while League pumps out fresh, new and original heroes at a reasonable rate. Dota 2's only new hero in the past five years is a literal copy pasta of Phantom Lancer.

>>388219286
>casual trash
Dota has really high skill ceiling tho.

Yeah, I guess.
>terrible controls
I don't know really, it's the average rts control style, not that bad.
>delays
?
>no content
There custom games and stuff.
>no updates
Yeah, they could make more balance patches. 5 months in the same patch is too long, maybe 3 months would be okay.
>retarded shit disguised as game mechanics (denies and turn rates)
Turn rates aren't that bad, denies make no sense but add depth to laning
>irrelevant bullshit
?

No, see >>388220136

The meta is really varied right now so I don't know about that. You can do stupid stuff like mid Shaker which is fun.

See above.

Any examples?

Not anymore really, the lates changes polished the ui a lot.

Kinda true.

>>388201821
League is no one's favorite game. Its a good time waster until the next good game comes out.

DOTA is great, DOTA 2 is trash.
