He got buffed to fuck.
You lose 0/20/40/60 heal in exchange for using less mana. Longer cooldowns at levels 1 and 2 for the heal and repel is pretty forgettable level 1, but it's no longer dispellable so it's in essence a 7 second bkb.
This means if a unit is both repeled and guardian angel'd they are invulnerable except to bkb piercing pure damage. Which is limited to rupture, sunstrike, Lina Aghs and Pudge hook.

And at level 25 your purification goes from a MOAB to a tactical fucking nuke, 500 pure damage + spell scaling, whoah momma.
With everyone having less hp on average (unless they take all their +hp talents which means they're doing less damage) Purification goes to one of the strongest non ultimate spells in game. It's definitely top 5 if you take the bonus damage perk.
Only a handful of spells actually do more damage and it's the strongest single target heal in the game. Only Chen's heal is stronger, being a teamwide 400 strength heal.

Also on that note, Tiny is now the strongest nuker in the game if he takes the +200 avalanche damage talent. On a tossed target that's an extra 400 damage, so avalanche does 500 damage to all unit, 1000 damage to the poor motherfucker who got tossed, and then anyone at the impact takes another 500 Toss damage. 540 with Aghs.

1540 damage to a single target, 1140 damage to everyone in the 300 aoe.

This game is literally unplayable.

For one is always fight time, but I mean I literally get halting frame drops. I have a Monkey King and Bristle in game.
For some reason the game could handle particle effects and flying shit everywhere yesterday, but now this is literally freezing my game whenever Bristleback starts spewing quills.

From 60fps to 0.6, fucking amazing.

Also when I try to use quelling blade on a ward quelling blade goes on cooldown and the ward doesn't leave.

Never played test client, went in blind. Played like shit, but he's broken as fuck. 3 hit to q is killed axe from half health. Tree jump has WAY too much mobility.
Expecting a nerf to his e and possibly q. stun and crit, paired with bonus damage is just too powerful, especially mid-game.

Jingu buff needs to drop off on enemies after 5 seconds of not hititng them. Buff on MK needs to drop off after like 7 seconds, storing them for later is FUCKING STUPID

Otherwise he seems fine. Maybe change tree walk so the further he jumps the longer the cooldown is, but if he does alot of short hops its still the same 1.4. So short jumps is 1.4, and long jumps is 5 cooldown and it scales between there

118MB UPDATE

Monkey King definitely needs lower damage and higher mana costs, he only has two skills besides his ultimate, at most 220 mana, his INT gain is trash but a single mana regen item will cover him because he has such huge cooldowns.

The best way to use his ult is to use it in the tree, jump for the slow and then stun so they stay in it as long as you can make them but otherwise Jingu Mastery is fucking OP with his instant stun crit and mobility.

Seems risky. The fighting game people are good, mostly, as are the SC2 players but if the Dota 2 players leave the team he will be hard pressed to fill a team with good players. Like if Crit, RTZ and Zai left that team is fucked.

He also used his own money for it. Atleast the EG team has shit, why the fuck would you ever buy Alliance if your Loda/Akke ?

No prior experience in running a business so good luck with that

>>162601542
We Wuz Kangz is more effective against people who can't play against him, rather than with people who can play him

Once people learn to not get hit four times and how to counter monkeyniggers jumping around in trees his winrate will plummit

The spirits had comparatively much less counterplay

His best bracket will probably be the 3k-4k bracket

>>162601494
Morbid is better, satanic is better.

who /diving into ranked matchmaking fuck the consequences/ here?

Hey /d2g/, is it me or there's no hotkey for leveling up stuff anymore? Are we condemned to use our mouses to level this shit like we have 10 hs again? No more clutch lvl6 leveling on the run?

>>162601816
yeah, sub 5k is all the same anyways

Hey do you guys know where I might be able to find all the heroes' poses from the new versus screen?

>>162601273
yeah his ultimate is definitely the worst of the three. His tree jump would be just an above-average skill if it was just a 1000 range 70% slow 340 damage aoe waveform, which is already great, but the fact it gives you tree walking for free is ridiculous

but just because his ult is the weakest ability doesn't mean its not overpowered, its still hideous, dropping that shit in a teamfight is one of the best aoe-death-zone skills in the game, its outputting more dps than an exorcism or macropyre or chaotic offering, and its spamming disgusting amounts of echo sabre procs and bashes

still its an ability that you can avoid entirely if you walk out of it so MK has to set it up with his stun first, which he often doesn't want to waste until his passive is charged up

>>162601838
I can level my skills via key just fine

It's all part of the game, he fucking owns his former opponents now.

Did the size of the old HUD actually ever impact anyone's gameplay? Is anyone out there really daft enough to get killed by someone standing in that area, and not notice them on the minimap? Or not hear them? Or not hear the pings? Or just have shitty camera control in general?
Id go back to it if possible. I see zero reason to change the HUD.

>>162601780
even once you learn that the moment he hits you 4 times in a row in lane you fucking die and he goes super saiyan, its still hard to play against
since basically every time he hits you twice, you're in the danger zone and have to retreat to your tower for FIFTEEN SECONDS

cutting his trees doesn't even work, a good we wuz kangz won't even need to use trees except to travel between lanes or initiate, and if he jukes you for 3 seconds to escape with it, he'll be way out of range of your tree chop skills anyway

I really thought I would like this patch, but I don't.

I would have welcomed the change to stats to talents on old dota 2, but new dota 2 just plays so differently. I don't like the changes to gold, experience, or the death timers. Before you hit level 20 just feed down mid who cares you're only dead 20 seconds. You hit level 20 and suddenly you're spending over a minute in base.

And that in and of itself isn't an issue. The issue is you're fucking level 20 at minute 20. 1 level per minute was sign of a good mid dominating their lane and securing the creeps, but that still fell off hard later on and eventually your levels do slow down.
What is the fucking point of Midas now honestly? Gold and experience flows so much faster by just teamfighting 24/7. Who gives a single shit about hitting creeps past the very early game.

Even when behind I don't feel like farming will do anything. Just get a single kill and suddenly you get 1k gold and 3 levels. And comeback gold was already ridiculous, don't get me wrong, but I'm getting massive comeback gold from people on minor killing sprees.
I thought Icefrog nerfed hero gold?

Sure as hell doesn't feel like it.
It doesn't feel like dota.

It doesn't feel like anything I've ever played before honestly. I thought it would feel more like HotS but it really doesn't, and it's not at all similar to League. It's like some arcade game, like a fucking custom game.

I don't like it. I miss old dota a lot right now.

Also that item buying is also a nice touch, there's literally no wasted time from the start of the game to 00:00

>>162602131
Although you're whining a lot, I do agree with the fucked up gold ratio

We kill a lvl 25 six slotted carry with a beyond godlike with their team having 20 more kills than your team? Sure, you get 800 gold and maybe a lvl or half. But they kill your support with no lvl, no gold, no kills, nothing and they lose 500 gold. It's fucking retarded.

don't worry, memories of past fun with THING will make you keep coming back and over time you'll get used to the changes and soon they'll just be trivial annoyances. Then you'll reach the acceptance stage and admit you have no power of what happens to THING and will mold your tastes based on whatever it does

If they were gonna do a 4-hit proc passive like LoL, they couldve at least made it so the enhanced hit was ONLY for one hit. And fucking 200 damage? Man I do love free Rapiers, who wouldnt? And all for the low low cost of hitting someone 4 times. And why the fuck does it give him lifesteal? He already has a crit Q, more range than other melee's, and tree escapes. That passive just needs a rework, whoever thought that was an okay product is insane.
