Do we know what skills this Monkey King Bar hero has ?
Or all we know is that he has Illusion skill ?>

7.00

NEW MECHANICS ADDED

- New Stats

Endurance. Heroes now get tired and attack/move slower depending on their Endurance. Resting items will be added in the future patches.

Charisma. Prices in shops increase or decrease based on your Charisma. A new Charisma rune will allows players to get up to 75% discounts on shops.

Luck. Ties all RNG counters to the stat.


- Ranged heroes now have ammo. Heroes with throwable weapons need to get new stacks of ammo at the new Secret Shops. Heroes that conjure projectiles will draw mana with each attack.

- Meele heroes that attack with bladed weapons will need to get their blades resharpened after a number of attacks. Heroes that attack with their arms will get tired [see the new stat "Endurance" for more details" quicker. Heroes that use blunt weapons will receive no changes to their old mechanics.

- Slots are now locked into item categories. There are 9 slots: boots, weapon I, weapon II, armor, staves, trinkets, helm, jewelry, consumables.

- Lifestealing mechanics are removed from the game.

- Fixed Berserker's Call going through Black King Bar.

All part of the master plan

icefrog leaving is just a meme, just because devs left on every whole number patch doesn't mean the same will happen this time, its been over 10 years since the last one

>>162402312
He was teased in an old dota patch, the challenges associated correspond to possible abilities.

A) An illusion ability of some sort, presumably similar to mirror image.
B) A mobility ability that gives him a big speed boost? Similar to charge of darkness but without a target?
C) True strike orb ability or something?

Problem is I don't want to solo queue again. Do any of you guys want to group up? I'm not picky, I'll take anyone as long as you speak English.

>>162402737
That would have been cool when it was teased, but now Spectre has that ability and PL is similar.

I assume that they wont make anything redundant for their first new hero. But then again there's no real knowing.

>>162402794
Ceremonial wise its the dawn of a brand new era where we finally start getting brand new heroes.

Guys what if Skeleton King comes back tomorrow?

hmmmmm....

It seems I'll have to update this in a few days...

Fuck...

Reminder that this game is still a mess of code hammered into itself and build upon a complete mesh of instable versions. Every patch that comes out breaks more shit than actually fixes it and every time now since 2014 there has been a 3-4 Hero FOTM trend that keeps cycling to make the game more casual friendly.

Valvo knows for a fact that they can leave the game for broken and dead for months on in that despite all crying, it will still be steam's #1 most played game, since the community is filled with literally shit eater shitlords.

They give zero response, they give zero shits about balance, zero shits about support, zero shits about actual improvement, zero shits about new content and zero shits about anything that isn't jewing kids out of their parent's credit cards.

This is why they can push eccentric and useless, despite really "cool", stuff into the market like the Steam VR, that probably costed both an unimaginable amount of money to produce that still even raw content, and the resources that a company like Valvo would probably never have unless they hadn't jewed over 60 million big ones with DOTA 2 tournaments.

Now just think if all the money that went into the whole VR shit had went allocated into fixing and improving DOTA 2. What kind of game would we have right now?

But instead, we have this, broken, mashed, hammered piece of shit, because yeah, no matter what, YOU SHITSTAINS WILL KEEP EATING VALVO'S SHIT BY THE SPOON AND LOVE IT.

Fucking end your existence, seriously.

Damn...

Hey, Valvebro here, just a heads up. We think that you guys should really consider suicide.

We are currently experimenting with new ways to make you spend more money on our game but things aren't really going smoothly as they could be.

A certain someone keeps pushing the motion that we shouldn't delay Sun Wukong and that we should focus our resources on fixing the FPS issues that have been getting worse throughout each patch instead of just putting more Battle Pass Chests for you guys to spend money on.

More Infused Hero sets with excessive particles and incomplete game-breaking cosmetics for the Fall Battle Pass are what's on the table for discussion right now.

What do you guys think?

>7.00 patch notes arrive

HOW HYPE?!??!?!

New Slot for TP scrolls and Sents/wards.

New ancient stack in the bottom and top corners

Starting gold increased by 50 gold for pick and random pick
New Stat called Spirit: increases MR by 1% every 10 points. only available from items.
Huge chunk of items have a small amount of spirit added to them.
Movespeed cap increased to 375

Lmao. Every day, every day this shitty studio's audio is out of sync. Every day they miss 3/4 of the draft or even the entire drafting phase. Every day, ching chong Merlini is dirty and disheveled while casting, unshowered and unkempt because of his refusal to shower and his dedication to mouthbreathing. Every day the fat jew David "LD" Gormanberg is a fat jew, fat and a jew. Every day GoDz sucks the tiny cock of the Chinese dota scene just a little bit harder, desperately hoping for the Chinese load to be shot deep into his throat while trying to look "cool" with his awful pedophile mustache. Every day, Zyori "S N I F F B O Y" sniffs his dirty scrotum on camera, misses early teamfights and wears a pink bow in his disgusting, terrible "hair". Every single day this goes on, and you people eat it up. You love it. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm disgusted and I hate every single one of you, every single miscreant that donated to this horrid studio's kickstarter, every single retard that watches their streams without AdBlock, every single fan of this atrocious, revolting, insulting excuse for a "studio".

All of hajime no ippo. Even if you've read it before.

I guess this one is fine though.....
Specially since I expect more people will start to play this shit Hero again...

CORE Jakiro is that you're basically going to push so HARD that the enemies shit will end up going up their own asses.

So take in mind that once the T1 towers are down it's time to 5 MAN DOTA the rest of the entire fucking game.

Go Safelane.

You start off with a ring of protection, two branches, some tangoes, a mana pot and you can even buy a ward.

Build a basi ring ASAP and get the fuckin' magic wand.

Rush some motherfuckin' mana boots and start to push down the safelane T1. DON'T STOP THE PUSH.

Get the fuckin' tower and rotate top. PUSH AGAIN and get that fucking tower. You should be able to purchase a Point Booster now.

Go fuckin' MID next with everyone and PUSH and fuckin' tower down as well. That will give you enough money for the Vitality Booster.

Dissemble your Mana boots and build that Core Booster now.
Farm for a bit now your Phase boots by using the Macropyre to kill the creep waves and keep them pushed.

Once you're like with 1k gold into your Mystic staff, get your fucking team together and PUSH AS 5 ONE LANE.

It doesn't matter which lane, just fucking PUSH and get a T2.

As soon as this is done, rotate immediately to the next T2. Getting these two T2's added with some fights along the way should get you your Octarine Core.

Once you have it, go Roshan with your team, secure that fuckin' Aegis and get the last T2. That should be a FREE Barracks as well.

Start building your motherfuckin' aghanism if you think the game will go longer or just rush a Aether Lens if you think it will finish fast.

After you get any of those done, the game should be over shortly.
If by some chance it isn't due to split-push shenanigans or whatever the FUK, just go Shiva's and KILL THE FUCKING GAME.

1st point into Dual Breath, max Liquid Fire, max Ice Path, finish Dual Breath on last. Always max the Ult.

umm who's that hero next to omniknight??

And maybe this Hero will become good again as well, I don't know....

Also, as it's been a while as well since I posted this, here you go mongoloids, for future reference you'll get the idea of how to build a position 2 CARRY Abaddon:

Start off with a ring of protection, two branches, some tangoes and a mana potion.

Your CARRY Abaddon is going to be a position 2 or even 3. You're never going to be a position 1, dude. Keep that in mind.

Build that basi ring next, get that fuckin' magic wand and some phase boots. Take that basi ring and turn it into a Vlads, and rush a fuckin' S&Y.

After this it depends how the game goes,you can just go a fuckin' basher and run to people and bash their fucking face if you're ballin' outta control and expect to finish early, or you can go Skadi into a AC.

If this goes really late, finish that fuckin' abyssal and after your skadi / heart + AC you can go MKB for the damage.

Max the shield first, 2 points into the passive, max the heal, finish the passive. Always max the ultimate whenever the chance.

If your team is fuckin' kuso ass shit, as they usually are, sometimes it's actually naice to build a aghanism instead of a skadi or heart and go for a AC after, because with the aghanism you can actually stop those shitters from dying.

Leakbro here. Gonna give you my final dump, because I'm out of the beta tester pool after this patch. It's been fun dudes.
>IceFrog is leaving, and a mixture of Valve staff plus old beta testers will form a new design team from here on. I do not know what he plans to do next, but I've heard from other testers that Valve might be doing a documentary on the history of the game under his tenure
>Vector targeting is being introduced for many existing spells
>Monkey King is being added and Visage/Puck are getting the largest reworks - though a lot more heroes are having abilities changed
>BKB is going to be able to be sold again, but everything else will remain the same
>A new Roshan-like objective is being added to the Radiant side, a five faced/layered totem pole where if a team destroys a level of it they get a map wide buff for a minute (and it becomes invulnerable for six-to-eight)
>Yes, each layer/face offers a different buff and the faces 'fight' back by releasing an AOE attack periodically that also vary depending on which one it is
>Wisdom is being added and several Int/Agi heroes will be transferred to it along with two Strength ones
>Juking paths are getting major revisions

ok so which one of us will take screenshots of EVERY HERO, EVERY ITEM, EVERY HAT, EVERY DETAIL ON THE MAP and EVERY SKILL so we can compare the before and after the update?

But one thing that will never change is....

Reminder that I play CARRY Abaddon, CARRY Omniknight, CORE Jakiro and I have above 70% win rate with all of them

Reminder that my now 51 wins / 16 losses CARRY Abaddon is the best CARRY Abaddon in all the /d2g/

Reminder that that EQUALS TO A 35 WINS TO 0 ZERO LOSS RATIO

Reminder that you shitters will literally never be as good as this game as I am despite going full try-hard while I literally play casually in VERY HIGH SKILL BRACKET with one hand behind my back, literally: http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1869884763

Reminder that once the New Journey Update and a new balance patch come out Abaddon will be top pick again

A) Summon skellingtons

C) Passive ability that has a % to disarm
D) Temporarily reincarnates teamates that die while its active. (WK aghs)

Then just give WK a new scepter.

What's the fucking reason to do this timer bullshit? I mean why can't they just release the goddamn patchnotes and not be such an annoyance.

>>162403797
Oh, and if I had to summarize the patch in three phrases that represent the design focus:
>Individual snowballing should be reduced so teamwork is more important and carries are less vital
>The 'offlane' should become the 'suicide' lane again
>Too many heroes focused on spell combos or initiation are hamstrung by being stuck in an attribute ill-suited to their needs

>>162403912
If icefrog starts dragging old heroes spells into the game then things have potential to be a lot shittier, because that means that old pudge might be added.

>Individual snowballing should be reduced

Rubberbanding is literally what made Singsing quit the game.

He stated multiple times when trying out LoL, Hots and even Strife: "shieeeeet, can't play this game, FUK MAN you can't snowball here, it's so boring".

On top of meta's farming cores he simply couldn't find his place in this game.

His favorite position was playmaking mid, he loved Rhasta mid and other various int heroes. Since Valvo fucked the game over and this went away from these picks, Sing could never adjust. He tried carries, offlanes, meta mids, but was never successful, because he didn't enjoyed that gameplay.

Hope all you shitlord rubberband defenders are happy, because you ruined this game.

This "increased accessibility" killed what made DOTA a real man's game and now all that's left is a hero farming simulator, as in a fucking LoL clone where Leddit literally dictates the balance and every shitstain loser is pandered by the spoon.

bot games are more difficult than normal games when starting out, just play unranked games and you'll be matched with equally bad players so you can properly learn without being shitstomped by bot AI. IIRC bot AI makes it so if they have enough damage to kill you with 3 heroes, they will literally run and chase you across the entire map until they get you. New players wont do that shit

im really dreading this patch. why can't we go back to small patches and adding new heroes rather than huge expansions

You've got the info wrong. It's reduced mana costs and magic resist.

7.00 changes

New heroes:
1. Monkey King
2. A hero based on Gambler, not the same but his ult is based on All In.
3. Pushing hero based on old Pudge called Necromancer.

New maps: The game now has 2 maps. The new map is vertically oriented and more condensed heavily favors 5 man over splitting the map, Roshan replaced with a different boss on this map. Will have a separate MM initially and if fan reaction isn't negative more maps will come.

Mechanics changes:

Illusions now give 20+((.01*net worth)level)) bounty
Major buffs for Lina and Tusk
Winter event

>>162405304
pretty much, dotes is the dotes we know and love thanks to him
not sure what to feel

>>162405304
He has probably been in a backstep role anyways for a few years now, he always had an internal team of play testers and now people groomed at Valve to do it.

who will be replacing rtz and crit?

Imagine a gank by Treant and a Deadwood, fuck gank, whole team fight by thouse 2 fuckers.

>you are trying to tp away but suddenly a tree trows a TREE and punches you with another TREEEEEEEEEE
>trees, treees everywhere

This shit will be like nyx and ls but with 10 times the TF potential.

EU has one TI, which was low prize pool and low competition
CIS has one TI from a long long time ago

only NA and China can win TIs With Real Prizepools And Competition

We've nerfed the mana cost reduction to 0.45% and just decreased the costs of Wisdom hero's spells since the old rate was helping certain manastarved Str/Agi heroes a tad too much, but yeah. That leak was accurate otherwise.

A TREE

techies was nerfed because playing techies took zero talent, pissed people off and made the game look like a joke. He simply didn't fit in.

Techies is to dota2 what SirActionSlacks is to dota2 broadcasts.

Fuck off

It doesnt even make any sense. Wtf is the difference between wisdom and intelligience

>>162405558
Holy shit it's like I'm actually on reddit. That's the exact argument /r/dota2 puts out every time techies gets nerfed/fails to get buffed.

who?
If i'm feeling burnt out in Dota I drop to League and shit on people with Fiddlesticks, even if he isn't "meta". The jungle is stupidly easy in that game, it's like Angel Arena in a way

What the reason for and against icefrog leaving?

Pro
>7.00, meaning new lead developer
>high chance that he is bored after working years on the same game and wants something new

Against:
>new original hero and big changes in the game might be the reason for calling it 7.00 instead of 6.89

>>162405304
Probably quit Dota 2 indefinitely. Icefrog, for all his mistakes, was still one of the best devs I've ever seen in a major multiplayer game. I have zero faith in Valve to do anything well with Dota 2 in the future other than bare minimum maintenance.

>>162405625
People outside of d2g have been talking about it for months.
I'm in a few skype groups for tournament organizers and personalities and they've been talking about it.
It leads me to believe there's a good chance it's real.

>>162404226
I can never distinguish their logo from absolute legends.

what if bulba is the new icefrog and slacks is the old icefrog and only pretends to be dumb

>>162405720
you would know, wouldn't you.
