played a game with cm, took the +50 damage at level 10

it was okay, made getting last hits super easy when you're popping into an empty lane mid-game (did about 110 dmg to melee creeps at level 10 with bracer and wand) and clearing the odd jungle camp is quicker, but it barely made a difference in teamfights

I think Ive singled out what it is I hate most about Wukong. He literally doesnt feel like a Dota hero to me, because there is nothing I can identify from Warcraft 3 on him. Every single hero has their kits come fron some abilities in WC3, except for him. I know coding or jass is magic, but even then, he really doesnt feel like he's a Dota hero. His kit isbtotally foreign to me. Theres no precedent for what he would be because he is the first of his kind. And apparently his kind will be broken bullshit with the skill traits of a LoL champ.
The future hero releases dont look bright.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY SHOP HOTKEYS REEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Monkey King gets a 80x4 damage ability for one ability point that costs no mana and gives life steal

how is this balanced? he literally doesn't even need to use skills to win a lane he just hits people 4 times and gets 130 damage at level 1 with lifesteal. With 300 attack range that's not even hard especially against a melee hero.

Does anyone have that icefrog comic where the blue frog serves up anon a plate of shit, he tries it and starts bitching about how it's now ruined.
Anon then proceeds to crawl back to the plate and continue eating while the frog smiles?

The only problems I have with the UI is that you have to hold ALT to see your attributes, KDA, and creep score. This game is getting way too reliant on the ALT key.

the first two i get but what's so good about LD now? are people building damage on the hero?

>>162610218
I like the idea behind talents, and right now its mostly fine, but its just all the gold and xp changes that really fucked the pace of the game up

Worst part of talents is, since most heroes are pretty good and just needed a push in stats, all the 10-20 talents are awful and if a hero was already good he got pretty shafted at all levels with boring ass talents.

>Fuck the entire foundation of Dota thus far and what has stopped heroes from devolving into LoL-tier messes
Anything that isnt based on WC3 is inherently going to drift into LoL's territory because they specifically went after things Dota didnt have at the time. If new heroes stray from that, then theyll just end up being weird hybrids that have the skills of a LoL champ but with Dota numbers.

All the talents mean that everyone is even stronger ~20 minutes into the game so one lost teamfight usually means the winning team takes a lane of rax with their extra 40-80 damage on the carries, not to mention how much extra gold they have from this patch

>Calling the old UI a cluserfuck when this new shit has everything clustered together in a tiny space

Don't post my boyfriend when you're saying dumb shit like this.

>>162610438
When I look at Earth Spirit, who was on WC3 in like 2011 or 20112, I don't see a fucking spec of anything else WC3 or Dota in him. He has an innate ability that gains charges, his first two skills are synergistic as fuck with said innate ability, also has a gap closer, and a press for big aoe magic damage ability with more synergy.

>>162610469
Its hero specific. Some heroes definitely got fucked because they were mostly good. Other heroes its completely good for because maybe a support needed 250 hp but didn't have gold for a vit booster and now they have it built in as a talent. Maybe a hero has shit/no armor and now they get armor without spending gold and item slot on it, and for a support they probably wouldn't be able to either

>play a couple games
>nothing feels that different besides me assraping some stupid monkey as Timbersaw every game

Eh.

>>162610489
lol. good luck pushing with that +40 damage only a handful carries get when you're up against shrines

>>162610480
>>162610261
and a skillshot

why the fuck do icefrog needs to implement everything so suddenly, holy shit

Imagine it could have been just talents, monkey king, remodel and UI
fix the UI, use 7.00b, c, d and bla bla to fix the monkey and balance the talents, and we are fine

Then, drop 7.01, map changes, shrines, and games faster


Its not like they are behind a schedule, why do they have to rush themselves like that

>>162610326
i like it too, it really changes a lot, but i honestly felt tired after two games
I wanted to fight, but at the same time pick runes, but at the same time defend a tower, but at the same time use shrine, and use courier and so much shit, and suddenly i have 2000 gold and lvl 17

the game's too fast
Also add all the map changes


>>162610469
they shafted a lot since different talents for different heroes mean weaker heroes can get bonuses that are more useful than +2 to stats
It makes heroes be closer to themselves
Imagine a support, do you prefer +2 to all stats or %15 magic resistance? or +25 move speed? or +100 cast range?

quite possibly the worst thing about this patch is that you can't spam with keybinds. before this patch you could type: bind k say SKROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in console, and it would fill up the entire screen.

now it looks like SKROOOOOOOOOOOOO... and is a lot smaller. spamstrat is dead

I remember when the map tools came out, I just plopped a bunch of land and rivers around and put a billion stairs around the map because it was pretty neat how they adapted to where you put them.

Then Valve made that a map

Remove shrines

The regen buffs over the last couple years have been more than enough

What kind of meme world are we living in now?

Are they seriously not gonna add LH/Stats so we don't have to press fucking alt?

>>162613153
Is this what faggots are complaining about now? Nobody liked the old timer, it was utter shit just like Slardar and Viper models.

He has to spend 50 gold to tp back, leaving the rest of his team with no help if bot gets dove for 60 seconds, while also losing a chunk of gold towards their item.

Now he spends 15 seconds walking the short distance to his shrine to heal to full and walk back with no cost except the 5 minute cooldown.

A cooldown which is meaningless because if you took that much damage the enemy laners probably expended mana to cast spells along with having to use regen, since they don't have a shrine nearly as close.

This is literally taking all risk out of the offlane. Offlane is as easy as safe lane now, since pulls are impossible and you only die if you're completely retarded.

nice try but i've seen the pictures

Nothing to do with balance, more shitters are playing for autistic slark mains to kill and snowball off

>>162613280
Wait what? Why did Slark get buffed?

>>162613218
It was fun though, I had cool binds. This one bind would say: "IIIIII'MMM COOMMIIINNNNGGG CUUUUUUUUUNNNNTTT" It would not only fill up the screen, but it would make the enemies afraid and surprised.

>>162613339
Im pretty sure Slark was mostly nerfed

How can you take this game seriously when there's no loli hero?
