New Techies is so much fun to play holy shit. His new E allows him to become actually valuable during teamfight instead of just standing on the edge, hoping he can throw a mine, and get picked off by a clinkz, his new Q+W combo means that you no longer stay in the same spot for a whole minute to place a stack of mines that a single treant is gonna blow up anyway, so you can place them in unexpected locations, and many over a large area, which gives your team a huge land advantage during team fights if you've been prep'ing the terrain properly. His R is still good, but I only max it after everything else has been maxed. I think it's the first hero whose ultimate is less valuable than every single of his other skills.

I'm more interested on IceFrog making bullshit talents at every level rather than just 25, I mean I think it would be hard as balls to balance of course but having something that makes somewhat weak spells viable to be maxed first, or even retard ass roles for heroes being possible. I mean even enchantress got a new way to be played being mostly a healslut, but hey after he absolutely fucking killed her at least she can still do something I guess.

>2ks think they're in they're in the trench

My current MMR is around 850. I calibrated at half that value and games actually get much, much easier as it goes up, even when I lose I usually do far better than everyone else. I am probably the one person on the planet with a 60+% winrate on Visage below 1k that isn't a smurf, and I haven't even played ranked in 7.00 yet.

However, I am not ashamed to admit that me even getting this meaningless distance was pure luck, because most matches below 1k are decided by which team has the most feeders. You know how pubs are chaos now because no one knows what to do after all of the changes? That is what every game was like. Every fucking game. I didn't even feel like I earned most of my wins. It's not just clueless twelve year olds on Macbooks either. These people are so far up their own asses that they are literally incapable of seeing anything they do as wrong. And because there are so fewer people at tard bracket, I have played with quite a few of them multiple times. They are perfectly capable of learning, but consciously choose not to.

These are the people that whine about the game on Reddit.

I am fucking psyched for 7.00 ranked, though, once they've fixed AppleHUD and the ridiculous bugs. Rockbird was buffed hard and 1v9 is feasible again with the right picks. I want nothing more than to make these retards wish they never installed the game.

Necro is better than before.
The -75 damage on Pulse definitely hurts, but it's still a better ability than before because of Sadist being rolled into Pulse now. The new ability is great and more than makes up for everything he lost.
Aghs is probably worse in a lategame scenario, because buyback disabling was game-winning, it's probably still worth buying though, because with aghs and Octarine the ult is at less than 20 seconds cooldown, that's no joke.

No, she isn't good. He just fucking melts everyone. There needs to be a way to just instantly destroy both of his illusions.

You should always learn more than one hero, but focusing on a handful will let you grow much faster than trying to understand every single one.

No wonder we are getting hotfix after hotfix, they know they fucked up.

Why even have the test client if they're going to put such a big update only for a day there? If they gave it a week or two, all of this could have been avoided.

I don't have a huge problem with the new UI, it just needs a few tweaks. But the performance is ass, they need to fix it asap.

OK. Some of these cooldown reduction talents are fucking stupid. I know everyone is busy fapping over things like +40 duel damage, but has anyone tried stacking this shit with octarine? You can get off two duels in a short fight. Hell, you can run in with shadowblade/silver edge, duel, then shadowblade to your next target, because shadow blade has full uptime. Toss in an aghs, and the cooldown on moment of courage is so fucking low that you literally cannot lose a duel, and there's no penalty for jumping on anyone. Your duel cooldown is so low that you still get retarded amounts of damage. Terrorblade? Have fun sundering when your taunted for 8 seconds.

Semi farmed Abbadon? Octarine + cooldown talent. Now borrowed time is practically available every creepwave.

Broodmother? Insatiable hunger may as well be a passive.

AND THEY WORK WITH FUCKING ITEMS. 2 minute refreshers? 20 second sheepsticks? perma bash? 6 second bloodthorn? The list is endless. Even arcane boots are insane on any hero with free cdr.

How would it break more shit. You release the new version on the Test Server for all the people who want to bug test and leave the main client unchanged for those who want to play regular DotA.

Right now, EVERYONE is a bug tester.

It makes no sense, before we had a dedicated group of people on the AllStars forums (fuck you Pendragon) giving Icefrog feedback, people are willing to do this for free.

It's like they think they're going to lose money because the new hero or changes won't be surprising if thrown into the Test Server beforehand. So they get it out there and fuck all the people who they know won't quit.

>>162865907
I actually like the talents since they allow for far more interesting shit to happen. Carry BH is now back and dare I say viable without making his roaming role overpowered, and talents are the chief reason for that.
They're not as elegant as an ability rework no but I think in the long run they'll be good, and it should be fun to see what new shit gets introduced via the talent system in the future.
They're also a lot better for balancing because they allow for buffing or nerfing an exact point in a hero's progression with barely any collateral damage.
That's actually really important for the future because of what potentially comes IN the future, aka new heroes and the like.
By the talent system its going to be a lot easier for new heroes to be implemented without completely overturning any balance that ever existed.

Call me an apologist, or overly optimistic, but I think both the talents and the new hud will be a lot better for the game in the long run than the old system.
Now SHRINES just feel weird, not gonna lie. At least offlane isn't hell anymore I suppose.

i usually only play ability draft, but now i've played some all pick to try out the new treant (one of my favorite heroes) and to play some ogre games.

why the fuck are there so many low skill ragers in all pick? no one wants to support, ever and people just afk when they think they're going to lose instead of trying harder.

this doesn't happen nearly as often in ability draft, not even when the game was over at the draft because the enemy had a horrendously broken combo.

>>162866603
From what I understand, the old hud used something called scaleform, which they actually didn't really own but "rented" or something from the actual creators.
That made updating the game an issue since they had to get the creators to agree to it or something like that. I don't fucking know the details all I know is their hud code being in the game gave them some control over the game's development or something, and valve didn't like that.
The new HUD, while with plenty of issues right now, means that they can update faster and have more control over the elements since they can change the base code.
I really don't have a fucking clue how accurate it is but it's the general assessment I gathered.

Don't fix what's tried and tested to be good.

In that HUD you have almost all information you need near each other, with the right amount of space dedicated for it. With the new HUD you have less information, in smaller space yet spread throughout the screen so that you need to move your sight more to find what you need.

These shrines confuse me. They give 150 to each teammate, 300 gold to 1500 networth swing for the set. They give no vision and there's no strategical benefit in tping to defend them since by the time they're vulnerable, they should fall in 10 seconds.
It exacerbates the snowball problem we had in previous patches.

Futhermore, the 3 shrines next to the three barracks in theory were supposed to prolong the game by giving healing to the defending team, but there's nothing really stopping the enemy from retreating and then trying for the rax after the healing ends.
Pretty bad game design I think.

IMO they really need to just completely phase out stacks from solo queue entirely.

Solo should = Solo, you can only queue in it if you're alone, and if you are more than just one person, then it's party queue. Would make solo matchmaking MMR more fair, cause then everyone who plays it has equal disadvantage

Well we had that anon, we had exactly that and it was called solo queue. Then Valve removed it because ???????? and seriously fucking why????????? and then we never got it back.

This hero is actual cancer. His pick rate went up by a huge amount (meaning tons of people are playing him that don't normally play Tree) and his 54% STILL went up by 1% after the patch. I thought Tree was good before the patch, and now he's just god tier lane support that transitions into a hard carry with 40k net worth, permabash, and maphack. Literally the strongest hero that has existed in DotA since Riki had a death ward.

He has 20% cdr as a level 25 talent and a gpm talent meaning aghs is an actual possibility in more games now, so he's considerably better I'd argue.
Didn't really get any fun spells out of the new hero though, except for tree dance I guess.
Zero cast point boundless is fairly good though I suppose.

You should definitely try out CORE Jakiro, he's really fun to play.

Take a lesson from my advice:

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.

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.

Daily 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 sad existence, seriously.

That's a good point actually. Fairly viable as well since MK doesn't really do a lot of casting in short succession, and any actual good ES will ALWAYS cast enchant after echo if there's a rubick on the enemy team.
I don't think it'd be that much damage since rubick has fuck all base damage, but it'd hurt a fuck ton, that's for damn sure.

>>162873696
I used to think there was no reason not to go crit but the more I look at the hero the magic resist looks a lot better.
MK's problem is never his damage, it's that he's normally squishy as fuck. MR plus skadi turns you into a fucking monster.

It's disorienting to have to keep learning where the information is now on the screen with a patch every 6 hours. Yes, I understand a solution is to stop playing Dota for a week or two while most of the HUD elements get worked out.

That being said, generally, for all change, people need to understand why something is the way it is. And with this new understanding of why it's different (efficient, easier to pick up for new players), people can then adapt.

However Valve seems to be heavily influenced by the thoughts and opinions of /r/DotA2 in a way that even the most minor of complaints, which after being 'circle-jerked' to the top, get taken seriously.

With all the ironies that belie in this post itself, my complaint is this; have the UI patches a bit more spaced out. For instance, is it not disconcerting to see the query tab for other units has shifted to the right, especially after having it on the left, already having forced myself to know that the left side is where it was going to be placed from then on?

As of such, my question now stands - can Valve NOT patch the UI this many often within the span of a few days?

I propose a solution. Perhaps test out the main UI movements on the test client first. If anyone is interested in helping the game move forward test it there first.

Isn't that why we have a test client in the first place? In order to test features/changes/implementations out before we apply these changes to the main client?

All in all, I am very grateful of the changes that was brought into 7.0.0 and I sincerely thank Valve for the effort, love and care that you have brought into the game.

Thank you for reading.

Edit: Fixed grammatical issue(s).

Sorry I'm not a Meepo player, but isn't it a buff that they share attributes without Aghs now?

And it seems like Poof going from a 6 to 3 second cooldown would be bretty gud.

It's a buff to his earlygame, but it's just upsetting how his level 25s are nothing compared to his level 15 lifesteal. The 400 HP is a particularly big "fuck you" for a level 25 upgrade.

Honestly is there any situation where you WOULDN'T want 15% lifesteal on meepo or the evasion. Its so fucking nice just having lifesteal independent of a vlad's for jungling and where the fuck else are you going to get evasion for meepos. Those are two stats that are very hard to get on his clones normally, if not impossible.
