Towers don't interrupt salve anymore, so you can dive with it.

HOL UP HOL UP

But what about loading screens and hud skins?

What is it with you ""6""k mmr fags saying it's so easy for support to get gold and exp?

My guess is 75% of you wouldn't know where to buy wards and probably play safe lane carries every match.
I literally buy out all the wards, dust, smoke, harass and win lane, rotate to help other lanes, place wards, pick up all the bounties I can, and I'm STILL level 5 while 4/5 of their heroes are level 10.
You leave lane for 30 seconds and you're 3 levels behind.

What am I supposedly doing wrong now?

The fighting pose intro is really fucking dumb. Its cool to see, and the music is kinda hype, but it completely goes against the mood of the game. Wow, hype up to watch some guys hit some creeps. Real riveting. Its the kind of shit an anon would suggest here and then concentrate his autism in drawing a rough sketch of it, then everyone else would say "anon thats retarded" and the thread would move on. But then they actually did it.
This patch was just a rash of bad ideas put in with little consideration as to whether they were actually good.

Pretty much how I felt playing him. Really strong early game especially vs melee, and then falls off. His Q is a bit bullshit but he kind just dies if caught out. His ult feels underwhelming as well.

One of the things that saddens me about Dota is that calling people by their color never caught on like it did in WC3. Saves time to just call them dg or lb, or even just red. Nobody knows what color people are at a glance now though. The colors are just too similar.

I will teach you faggots how to play monkey fucking king

Step 1 : Poor man shield, tangoes
Step 2 : Mid
Step 3 : do 1 1 3 1 build
Step 4 : be aggresive as fuck, you can even skip that disguise shit because its shit and you'd rather get longe stun duration
Step 5 : treads sb echo sabre asap dont ask me why you fucking retard
Step 6 : Max the tree jump next for more damage and slow
Step 7 : stop doing solo hunts you fucking faggot,
Step 8 : read gameplay


Gameplay :
Learn to play ursa first or play ursa instead.

Associating heroes to their color is a habit that not enough people had (I struggled to do it consistently, personally), but that made the minimap significantly faster to parse.

It's only new players who dont call players by their color.
Although I remember colors were extremely popular in 2014 when Brown/Orange were ALWAYS the shittiest player in the team (before they revealed each players MMR numbers in the end screen)

Okay, Dotababbies.
Convince me to start playing your game instead of League.

>Monkey King
>Uses his Q
>Has like a 30 fucking second cooldown
>His W is automatically on cooldown because it's a teamfight and he's taking damage

Literally the only teamfight he has is his ultimate and you can just walk out of it. Otherwise the only ability he has to use after he fires off his Q is his passive which he needs to hit someone 4 times for.

Just slow him and he dies easy.

Hey d2g, is there an option to always show your K/D/A while in game?

Any on-hit effects he has are also applied by his clones, with their own cooldowns. If he has skadi or echo saber, you aren't getting out of the ring.

Dude it takes him 1.5 seconds to cast his ult and then another 1 or 2 seconds for the statues to run out to their place.

I think I'm done dotards, I wanted to give this patch a chance but after playing a few matches it just doesn't feel right anymore. Removing attributes didn't seem like a bad idea in hindsight but damn it fucked things up, now it feels like I'm playing Overthrow on a bigger map, sure, Overthrow can be fun, but at the end of the day I always found myself going back to regular dota and now it's just not there.

The HUD also feels like it was designed by someone who doesn't play the game but it'll probably get fixed soon, the ole' dota feel however seems like it's lost now.

Holy shit, what the fuck happened? I'm gone for a month or two and now the game is unrecognizable.
Everything's so small.
And did they seriously add talents like in fucking HotS?
What the fuck Valve?

so monkey king basically confirms through response lines that:
1) AA has a crush on crystal maiden
2) juggernaut and TA used to date
3) windrunner and drow have a tsundere thing going

is valve trying to bait shippers or what?
because i'm all for this

What does he say?

randomed new treant; pretty fun. unfortunately the enemy team had monkey dude and an arc warden that somehow got 14 kills while i was trying to duel the monkey
i killed him because he got stupid then before i knew it he was back at unstoppable

monkey is really annoying to fight. the passive debuff lasts what feels like years and his damage early is just absurd and he only gets even stronger as the game goes on

as someone who has played games tribes ascend and smite religiously, dota 2 is such a fucking lucky F2P game.

I fucking loved tribes ascend, but Hi-Rez absolutely shit all over it, made it P2W garbage and stuffed it into a dumpster after the initial hype boost ended when their shitty p2w model didn't work.

I mean I'll be honest I don't now the valve-community relationship entirely, but AT LEAST they KINDA care enough to keep the game alive and not fuck it over with anything game breaking. I'd hardly call a shit UI and some misbalance game breaking, because those are things that can be fixed if enough people complain about it.

Unlike Hi-Rez, who don't give a shit how many players complain about it, and will just do whatever they want.

I think the relation with us and valve is that they kinda do wanna please us and be a nice company while also making money, I doubt they would never completely trade our support for ingame payments, but Valve knows that no matter what they do, we'll whine for a while then quiet down, because Valve will almost never say "You know what, you're right, we'll back down on this".
They're basically nice until someone disagrees with them

>>162677648
That's irrelevant, because even on their own talents are a stupid system. And as a sidenote, talents replacing stat ups has a very real impact on 17+, which means even the heroes on which taking early stats was a bad idea are affected by this.

>>162677923

HUD skins can be re-enabled in your global items. Theyve been remapped to the new UI where possible, most of them look pretty good still.

Loading screens will show up when you need a loading screen, but that's almost never now. Joining spectating, or a hero demo will still use them but mostly you won't see them. it's kind of sad to see the art not used anymore but it's for the best, because you don't see loading screens almost ever anymore.

>>162677871
>that's fucking pathetic
how so? levels beyond 14 that aren't 18 or 20 or 25 are completely empty now
and no, you DON'T pick talents based on how the game is going, because there's almost always just a right choice, flat out. I haven't picked anything but the same 4 as visage the whole time and I've been stomping.

It's such a pain in the ass to look at enemy hero items and level, maybe I'm not used to it but I really liked how it worked before.

>>162678103
He has a completely valid point. This is a big patch, so there's gonna be a bigger outcry, but most of the whining is people whining just because they don't like change and refuse to get used to the new things.

>>162678897
Exactly, to save space, the same reason we get the minimalist hud, to focus on the core gameplay, and when you do want to see extra info, you just press alt, it really doesn't take that much effort.

You don't always see spawn boxes, eventhough it would probably help you, and you don't see all the enemy hero levels on the screen. Why? Because it's distracting, and all it takes is one press of a button to see those things, which is better than just slapping it all on the screen

nice build m8, must be fun at triple digit mmr

>>162679164
It has to have the numbers, so you can see if you'll get lvl 6 from the next 2 creeps, or will it take 3 or 4?

I mean who cares, if there's something I learned in life, you can always just use a calculator

It's like icefrog undid the nerfs that made him go from good enough to win TI to being the worst hero then buffed the shit out of him.

>>162679164
Have you noticed how pretty much no games uses a circular hp bad?
That's because a straight line is easier to read.

Rushing midas to reach 15 fast and get the gold talent. It's not an optimal build, it's my first match as Skywrath Mage in 7.00 but I wanted to try Aghs. It's worth it.

>>162679049
Yeah I don't know what to max. I just figured early Aghs I'd want the concussive shot because it applies both to a target if they're alone; arcane bolt doesn't.

Yeah sorry m8.

About to play my first 7,00 game, but I'm confused about runes.

Is there no 0 rune?? What do I do at 0? Creep block? What did you do in dota 1?

Gameplay wise the CK aghs has to be the most broken thing that came out of this patch right?
Which is kinda sad because it cucks him into support position who is supposed to farm aghs now.

>having to press a button to see EVERYTHING you want to see is too much, when you've already made it into a reflex with stuff like seeing spawn boxes and hero icons on minimap, takes too much effort
There's literally nothing wrong with the mechanic of hiding additional information behind a single press of a button. It's not in the furthest possible location, it's right fucking there

>that valve artist is so touchy about the ui
>the "the last time we changed it the reaction was the same ;^)" tweet

Fuck I hate idiots like this guy. You can tell that hes responsible for the changes, and he doesn't want to revert them/cave in to the popular demands because he can't admit he was wrong.

I know pressing a button is real simple and all, but let me make a proposition:

What if we could see everything WITHOUT pressing a button.

Really mind blowing, considering there's more than enough space on the hud to accommodate everything, and much much simpler too

>>162679609
And I say there's everything wrong with it, looks like the argument is at a standstill
you also have to press alt and hover over the damage to check your base / bonus damage and base / bonus armour
>it's fucking there
the gold and health indicator are at the very bottom of the screen which require more eye movement and can fuck you up in a split situation

>There are people that don't know how OP new Techies is.
Here's how you play him: You max Q and E first. Fuck remote mines, those are after you get your Aghs upgrade. When paired up with any one that has a stun or a slow, E is a death sentence. You jump on someone, drop a mine behind them and they die if your teammate follows up.

Mines are used for farming. Drop one at the base of every tower, then use them to farm neutrals because you can kill two camps at once instantly. You can quickly get rich and start snowballing out of control thanks your stupid map control. You practically have infinite mana early game thanks to the shrines, just make sure to share them with your team if they're injured or low on mana.

>>162679619
But he is completely right in what he is saying. People HATE change, if this wasn't a community of toxic shitters, you should probably wait like a month for people to get used to the changes, and only then take their complaints seriously.
Besides the not seeing stats thing, that was just objectively bad

>>162679696

so he's one of the retards who thought monkey king was ready for release?

>>162679742
it works like this
you use phantasm on lets say morphling, you get to control these morph illusions and yes these illusions will work with your reality rift and teleport with you
