So why was techies changed?

He wasn't a competitive hero before, and he still isn't going to be competitive. Instead of placing mines you go around blasting off, which honestly is a gimmick that gets old as fast as the old tiny toss into suicide.

There was a reason he was never picked in high end games, it was because he is extremely easy to deal with if you play properly.

The frustration you speak off is just from people with a inferiority complex who get upset when they get beaten by mines, a stack of inanimate objects that required "noskills" to kill them.

If you legitimately can't comprehend how walking under the tower when your opponent commits hard and draws aggro is a good idea, it's a wonder how you can handle Ursa or even Troll fucking Warlord
>>
+15 attack speed is a honeypot talent, +5 to all stats is actually much better for Lifestealer
>>
>>163161143
You mean the stream of day9 abandoning the sinking ship (or sunk ship really) that is SC2 before he fades into complete obscurity and hopes to piggy back on purge so he can be some sort of caster or "personality" in dota? Or in short "sc2 is failing but I still want easy neetbucks so I'll get into dota".
>>
>>163161204
ursa doesn't get blink, 300 range, or a ranged stun, his gap closer is walking. I can stay within 400 range of ursa and be completely safe.

Troll is a fairer point, but then that hero was ridiculously powerful for similair reason a couple of patches ago, then he received several nerfs and he is now back in the "lamo y wud u pic troll" garbage can.

Except retard bear and red Peruvian man can't engage you level 2 without dying even if he gets the kill. With MK, even if you get down to like 1/3 health, if you get all four hits in you just need to drop your Q and spam rightclicks and you will have more than enough health to retreat, use a tango/salve and get back to farming. It's low risk, high reward.

There is nothing wrong with MK's design, Valve overbuffed his raw numbers

I took a year long pause and now want to get back.
How do I play this game now?

>>163161453
Tree dance isn't a blink, it's a massively telegraphed "I am about trying to commit on you". You literally just walk away from the treeline he jumped into and wait for him to jump down. If he uses the stun aggressively he's not using it with 4 jinju stacks and just pissed away a 30 second cd spell.
>>
>>163161491
Honestly, pick up a different game. Unless you are playing with a group of friends, the game is garbage, Too many people in soloqueue think they are the next esports genius waiting to be discovered and are god's gift to us peasants.

The entire game is also shifting over to appeal to the chinese LoL crowd. If they make the prizepool even larger for TI I wouldn't be surprised to see LoL teams switch to dota simply for the money now that dota patches are making such a transition easier by bringing dota closer to LoL.When the teams switch games, so do their followings of players.

Your solution isn't a solution. "Stay the fuck away" doesn't help.

>If he uses the stun aggressively he's not using it with 4 jinju stacks and just pissed away a 30 second cd spell.
Wrong, he trades favorably with pretty much anyone and everyone when it is in 300 range. Stun, walk up to target, trade hits, they back off for 15 seconds for the stacks to wear off, if they don't back off they die then and there.

If MK decides to hit you when you walk in instead of lasthit or deny, he's the one giving YOU space, because you have to do this 4 times in a row with no wait for it to happen. Is the concept of not hugging the creepwave foreign to you? How do you lane against Sniper when he can just rightclick you from under tower?

Dying? He is saying the opposite. He is saying the game is (striving) to thrive by adapting the crowds the game draws in. "traditional" dota simply isn't as popular as fast paced games like LoL.

I actually used to sit on the board of directors at Riot (before I got out of stockholding).

why is the 100m so unbelievable for you? they got every region, including where dota is dead or almost dead, they got the players who only play a few games a month or week, the players who only play because their friends play it. i live in eastern europe, where dota should be more popular and i dont know a single person who plays it besides me. many people dont even know what this game is exactly.
if we add casual, weekend players, their girlfriends and smurfs, the 100m isnt that absurd

Because if you parse the number of players in ranked (unranked is hidden) you get about 1-2 million per region

Because the amount of money they make combined with what they cite as average player spending doesn't make their 100m value plausible. It's much, much closer to what Dota has and I don't think their recent design changes have helped their numbers at all (although I could be wrong about this).

The most incredible thing is they even made less money with their "compendium", so even if they have the 100m and Gaben moves this game so close to LoL that they all end up switching he still makes less money than he does now if current dota players stop paying.
The jew's plans have big holes.

Cool theory craft, does it contain the part where he gets the CS first and then hits you over the head? Or the part where you are getting no exp or gold yourself in what is usually called the "safelane"? Or the part where monkey doesn't really need all that much farm? Or the part where he denies 100% of his creeps because you are standing under your tower not contesting a thing?

Oh what's that? You are <5k you say? Oh right, gotcha, carry on with your inane chatter then.

You still don't get it. It takes 15 seconds for the debuff to wear off, and the entire duration refreshes after a hit. Being near him at all can be risky.

I wanted to try a memebuild where you get Aghs and then the additional upgrade to it at level 25.

Alternatively having a DoT that does 725 (1125 with the talent) damage over 5 seconds with 900 range on a 10 second cooldown is bretty good if you don't need Viper as right click damage dealer. It also reduces the mana cost from 250 to 125 so it's a lot more spammable.

Design changes aren't as simple as they may seem on the outside.

Take LoL's dynamic queue for instance. When Riot merged solo and dynamic together into a single value, it was to encourage party queue. Customer retention is much higher when you add in social pressure. They basically wanted to remove reasons to play solo, not expecting the backlash that ensued. They covered it up by saying they aim to equalize solo and dynamic winrates, but that's obvious bullshit especially when you consider how a 5-stack would have a fundamental advantage over 5 randoms, making it nothing more than a PR statement (which is really the best they could have done in that situation). It's the same reason Overwatch gives an XP bonus for group queue.

As for GPU intensity, the game needs to look flashy to sell, and it doesn't come free. If people see you game looking like something straight out of 2003, they'll just pass it up. As bad as it is, appearance sometimes does take precident over substance. Even on a local scale I'm nearly positive if Valve could go back and increase the system requirements to take out the bottom graphics options they would, because if a player's friend (I know nobody here has one, let's just pretend we do) walked by and saw a crazy HD game they would be more likely to ask about it than something that looks really old. It's why Valve put so much emphasis on beefing up the graphics of the game in the 7.00 update. Even minor stuff like the "Ultra" shadow detail gets the spotlight in update pages because it's important that the game looks presentable.

Once again, this does not actually fucking matter.
Tencent could have bought up HoN and that would be the game played by millions of chinese. They bought LoL because HoN was already DEADGAEM status when they wanted to get into the market.

This isn't just a distribution company, they literally OWN the computers most people in China play on. It's why garbage like Crossfire exists, and is one of the most played games on EARTH, despite not being touched by any non chink.

This fucking dank meme logic is so pointless, that somehow if just X had happened, Dota would be where LoL is.

Literally not possible unless X was "Tencent bought out Valve".
>>
>>163163314
i'd probably say the talents

alot of talents seem like they were just tacked on, and alot of talents are no brainers between choices (like Earthshakers level 10 talent between 250 mana or 6? strength)

i like the offlane jungle camps now, mostly because playing as a solo offlane is no longer painful

maelstrom is good when you know you can a high volume of attacks in at a teamfight. it is picked up by long ranged heroes like sniper because he can deal damage in teamfights by just hitting the lane creeps. you do this from a screen away and the enemy can't really react to it.

you can buy it too on jakiro if you get the attack range buff too
>>
>>163163942
You say that, but his remote mines have barely been changed, if anything I would say they have received a net buff. So mid to endgame techies is still 5 man gem step step check. Pre 7.00 landmines fell of HARD, as in you would haev to place upwards of 12 on a single stack to get a kill, and if you placed 1 too few all you had achieved was wasting 2 minutes on placement. Huge risk with often very little payoff. Basically after 25~ minutes techies relied on remotes, if not only because at that point techies has to choose between stacking aghs remotes or landmines, he doesn't have mana to do both and aghs remotes are better. Post 7.00 that asepct of techies hasn't changed, after about 25 minutes you still want to rely mostly on aghs remotes.

i used to run mid at 44 and stack hard and medium camps at the same time while my dominated creep goes to stack ancient whenever i play luna

i cant do that anymore
since its dead, i'll explain how

you go hit that hard camp at 52 while you run your hero at medium camp and at the same time go to ancient tab at 52.5 or 53 rather then go back to your hero quickly so you can hit that medium camp before or after 55 kicks in.

Sure but he can't drop those as fast, and pretty sure they still die in 8 minutes. This remote mines suck for mid and late game, the problem was often that most of early and mid you had to dread moving anywhere because you would just blow up without warning, especially supports, which meant less warding, which meant you can't see him even more or where he's mining.

Meanwhile the rest of techies team gets fucked by going 4v5 against the other side's carries.

techies net effect is most often +25 minutes to the game timer, more so than any advantage or disadvantage to the team

Mid Tower is best because it gives you another entry to the enemy jungle.

Offlane is he least valuable because it doesn't really open anything up for you, especially since enemies can tp to their shrines.

Safelane tower provides some additional control over the enemy jungle, but again, they can still tp to the shrine.

Talents mean that some heroes can get a power spike earlier and shrines provide more gold to the winning side if they can get all the tier 2s. It seems to me classic mids like Viper, Shadowfiend, and Razor might be coming back into flavor.

What was the system Valve used when designing talents?
>Alright this hero will get a completely new dynamic you have to account for at level 25
>This hero will get basically unlimited gold
>This hero will get their respawn time halved
>This hero will xbox hueg damage boosts
>Oh, but this hero gets +400 HP
>This hero gets 10% spell damage amp
>This hero gets a choice of either of their two worst lategame spells getting a buff that doesn't fix their horrible scaling
>This hero gets stats
What the fuck? Some 25 talents are huge while others are just an item discount.

FUCK. I just want to do something else besides support but mid is fucking aids. Offlane is fucking aids. Safe lane carry is fucking aids.

I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Now I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

That's a very jaded and narrow minded view of the entire world. There are wonderful people and experiences out there who could radically alter your way of living. You could find meaning in millions of things you've never tried before.

But instead you've imprisoned yourself in this digital cage of nothingness because you had a bad start to life. Rather than try to turn things around you just slammed the door shut and learned to love the isolation as best you can. You're like a paranoid psychopath rocking back and forth in a padded room, convinced that everyone outside the room wants to eat you alive.

What's wrong with that is that it's not true. The outside world doesn't hate you. It doesn't want you dead.

It simply doesn't care about you. It doesn't need you and it has no obligation to include you. You have to go out there and stake your claim. You have to make yourself known, you have to make your own way and everyone in this thread refused to do that. The world doesn't owe you anything, despite what your parents told you.

Some of us hear that and saddle up, ready to play the game of life.

Some of us hear that and back down, and distract ourselves from the pain of defeat by playing Dota.

There's nothing wrong with a game now and then to unwind and let off some steam. But the majority of people in this thread play games every single day for more than an hour. That adds up so very quickly.

Games should never be one's passion in life. Games are juvenile distractions whose sole purpose is to distract one's mind from their reality.

If your passion and hobby in life is to remain distracted then don't be surprised when you die lonely and miserable with nothing to show for the one chance you had at consciousness.

>>163174351
I'm not sure why you're sperging out over religion. I don't have to use consciousness if that's too close to your confused notions of religion. The fact of the matter is you only get born once and when you're dead you're gone. That means at best you've got 80 years to fill your time with the best and most fulfilling experiences.

I find it hard to believe that compulsively playing Dota in your mom's house every single day is really all that fulfilling.

Of course you guys will scream and throw an autistic fit about how great video games are and how you've never wanted anything more. But I think deep down you know there's something more out there if you only had the courage to find it.

Nothing I'm saying has anything to do with souls. You need to drop the religious boogeyman you're so paranoid about.

All I'm saying is, is that there is more to life and the low hum of digital hedonism you guys have plugged yourselves into.

>>163174582
The entire purpose of modern life is to have as much joy as possible before you die because there's no after life.
If people find that joy through movies, books or video games then so be it. There is nothing fulfilling about working yourself to death for people who hate your guts simply so Shlomo can afford his third yacht.
The truth is the reason you're in this thread isn't because you care about our well-being, it's because you know deep down that you've failed at life. You hate your job and you have absolutely no way to escape the suffocation, the misery of your own life.
So, you spend your days here on 4Chan trying to trick perfectly happy people into being miserable, unfulfilled wage slaves like you.
I work in real estate and I love my job. Do you know why? It's not because I've 'carved my place in the world' it's because it affords me the money and flexible hours that I like. It gives me the leisure time live my life comfortably and play video games. That is fulfillment. Happiness.
Working like a dog for the jew is not fulfilling and it doesn't carve your name out anywhere in the world, you deluded moron. Take your bullshit somewhere else.

To suggest that you've broken from you genetic code is ridiculous. If you feel hunger, and if you're not mentally ill, it follows from your existence as an animal that you desire to pass on your genetic code.

>>163175618
So you feel that the creative value in Dota is marvelling at its technological achievements? I guess that's actually a pretty neat take on things, but that's not how YOU express YOUR creativity. You simply marvel at the creativity of another.

>>163175570
No, not necessarily. But let's not pretend like envy is divorced of logic. It's illogical to envy someone who wasted his shot at life at the end of a crack pipe. It's logical to envy someone with the mental fortitude to eke out a successful life with a happy family.

Dota is just checkers. You can't use it in any other situation outside of Dota.

Anyone else playing from a laptop here?

ever since 7.00 I find it very dificult to read some parts of the new UI, especially chat and shop/item tooltips.

I think that the chat text is bolded for some reason? For example in the scoreboard, my name is bolded and a little hard to read, but everyone else's is just fine.

My eyes start tearing up after 15-20 minutes of playing because I have to squint and come close to the screen to read the text.

You guys are taking an all or nothing approach and that's pretty much bullshit. There's a very big difference between playing Dota and writing poetry in terms of creativity. One is strictly bound by code, which itself is bound by language and logic. Poetry is bound by language and logic only. Secondary creativity within an existing act of creativity is short changed creativity.

So why are XP% bonus talents being so ignored?

Why is it considered worthless to so many heroes? Even Undying, a hero who can get +30% XP (and is level-hungry support/offlane core) at level 15, has the +300 health chosen almost twice as often.

I get that they're often compared to pretty significant counter-traits, as the 300 health I said prior. And how Riki can get 10 free agility which, even as a support, is pretty value as it translates to 22.5 more backstab damage. Abaddon, who I believe is superior as a position 4 but is more often played as core offlane, has +25 damage chosen far more over +15% XP gain.

Is it just the logic that more health/damage translates into having more teamfight impact, resulting in more XP gained than the bonus could ever give?

Dota games are more about game knowledge and teamcomps more than anything

>high skill floor and higher skill cieling

I also feel like Dota is chocked full of "artificial difficulty". things like turn speeds, Secret shops being required to buy certain items,losing gold on death and stacking camps. personally it feels like its a lot more of a chore than it is fun or interesting game decisions.

That's a neat little bit of language you pasted there but it doesn't really address my point.

I just said the idiots trying to tell me that they express their creativity through Dota had no idea what creativity actually is.

I never said constraints limit creativity. I just scoffed at the notion that you can truly do anything creative within the framework of Dota. I get that you come up with new strategies, but I fail to see how that is in any way a meaningful act of creativity.

but turn speeds are super important to balance heroes like shadow fiend or very tanky, very powerful like ursa so they can at least be kited, and even to balance items like blink dagger, which would be an instant cast escape without turn rates.

Supporting in this game is spending every single scrap of gold on wards,sentry,dust and stacking the jungle nonstop and you end up being a wet tissue underleveled walking creep in most cases.

atleast in LoL you get such a ridiculous amount of ambient gold you can get late game items relatively easy and wards are repeatedly provided free of cost to EVERY teammate so its not longer a "support only" job.Also if you can play tank supports and become on par with other tanks in the game.

You do realize you are just allowing thought police with that kind of argument?

greek tragedies for fuck's sake are more violent then dota.

The answer to life is simple, Do what you can to be happy while improving society.
Happiness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder not through some pathetic dogma of forced "enlightenment" that encourages you to just abandon most of modern marvels humanity has achieved in the last twenty years.

Why do you feel the need to belittle 136 other people here simply because you dislike thier hobby. You do not know how much they could be improving society because everyone here is anonymous, so all these claims of them being digital slaves is nothing but projection and baseless assumption.

Realistically they just need to pour money into researching a form of chemical castration that's reversible. They were doing it for dogs in Canada to help stop over population, and if they got adopted and the family wanted to, it could be reversed so the dog could have children.
We basically need that for humans, given at birth, and then have some sort of an application process where you can become able to have offspring if you are able bodied and financially can provide for the child.
But obviously there'd be a huge outcry from it's muh body i do wut i want, the religious groups, and the far left.

Gal. 2:16, "nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

Where is the skill in this? they are just spamming stuff

Your video is exactly what i mean

They spam QQQ > WER

Thats the whole game. The skills dont do anything mechanically that enable the players to change how everything develops and the strategy. All it does is to do damage

So the whole game comes down to who can execute faster theres no thought or creativity. its the same shit with starcraft they play 26/24 hours a day up until they memorize everything so hard they can reproduce it as closely to perfection as possible.

Compare that video to dota videos where the dude has to think several plays ahead to outsmart whoever he is trying to kill specially with heroes like puck

You BARELY have the manapool to sustain Manta use. Razor rarely builds items that gives him int (Shiva's isn't core on the hero despite what valve's memebuild says)

Aghs + RFO is borderline unusable too without INT items since they removed the ability to get +2 to all stats.

>>163185694
I mean what?

Are you gonna imply Tiny combos require more thought than Riven combos or something?

the only Dotuh heroes that I think are mechanically challenging are

1.Invoker (duh)
2.Earth spirit
3.Naga Siren,Chen,Meepo,Visage and Arc (macro in the heat of battle is hard)
4.high level Tinker
5.Timbersaw

other than that alot of Dota heros are really straight forward in how they play. theres not much room for "expression of skill" within the heroes kit alone.

>>163185917
If you dont see it theres no point in pointing it out. If you cant see where the skill in the plays are it means you only understand league on a surface level and probably dropped it before at least silver rank .

Things like flashing a shuriken, dashing away from an auto and quick comboing take split second reactions and keeping track of everything going on while reacting to animations can be pretty hard.

go rewatch some of the duels and actually pay attention to the movements and reactive abilities of heroes.

to put it simply you dont understand that video the same way a LoL player wouldnt understand this one

Thats exactly my point you retard. Theres nothing going on in any of the videos beyond the dudes hitting the key super fast the moment they see the cue to do so

why do you keep posting if you are going to keep agreeing with me?

In dota people make the distinction between actual skill (being smart) and mechanically skill (reflexes and finger dexterity or methodical). Of course you need to be good at both but no one considers someone mechanically skilled a good player even if he can do something like dodging something in a split second all the time. A mechanically skilled player in dota up until valve ruined the game has never amounted to anything in the higher levels since he can't make use of the advantage he has generated and gets outplayed

not such a possible thing in lol cause theres nothing to it other than to execute the combos the heroes got enforced upon by riot

How this ultimate would work if it was any other hero in the game:

>Statues deal 50/65/80% of your base attack damage
>Enemies cannot get hit by more than one statue every 2 seconds
>Statues share your cooldowns on items like basher
>Channeling spell, MK cannot move or cast or attack

How it works on MK:
>+50/70/90 damage and 100% fully dealt and independent basher cooldowns and you can be hidden in a tree

Am I reading this correctly?
Because that sounds fucking retarded.

>actual skill (being smart)

you mean like lane control? (which LoL has)
or game knowledge? (knowing when to watch for ganks and when to teamfight/force objectives which LoL also has)

or are you speaking about the more tedious affairs (timing jungle pulls correctly and using Helm to maximize GPM)

you speak as though the only thing that should matter is game knowledge and nothing else should hold a candle to it.

If you hate league and think its braindead spammy shit and nothing else thats perfectly fine. I was just trying to explain why I PERSONALLY liked it to the other guy. Like what the fuck do you want me to say?

" AAAH YES LOL IS GARBAGE OH LAWDY I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT AND IM UNINSTALLING RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK! I WILL NOW SOLELY PLAY DOTA 2 AS THE GOOD LORD OSFROG INTENDED THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE LIGHT THAT I WAS PLAYING THE INFERIOR GAME BLESS UP "!!

Also notice how all heroes have blink thats because theres literally nothing in the game to avoid playing around the combos no different move speeds no active items no fog no nothing. Without the blink they would all die to the combo no matter what

>>163188090

>lane control
>can't pull
>cant deny
>can't block creeps
>can't change tower aggro
>Towers are so strong you can't dive

>Game knoweldege
>game revolves around spaming shit into deathball
>Since all the heroes do the same one team ends up giving up because they deal less damage and have less HP and the only thing to the game is fighting
>Fighting is done exclusively by spamming the wombo combos
>thats why it has so little kills no one can take a risk cause getting wiped means game over
>Valve for some reason thought copying this garbage is a good idea

Why dont you ask instead of pretending to be another person

not enough lockdown, Wyvern ulti has always seemed underwhelming to me and Ice Path + birds doesn't seem like it's enough. Phoenix Egg relies on setup, so it's not very reliable.
