I was expecting a lot, I wasn't expecting everyone to be Diet LD post-25 haha Are there any queuing/matchmaking alterations? I can't do much right now except scroll through the update page while muttering "woooaahhhhhh" irl

I got a work call right as my first game on the new patch loaded and I spent 30 mins on speakerphone about a major issue, and read emails, and sent emails, and also played Pugna at the same time and I had no idea what was going on and now my head hurts.

This is the biggest patch I've ever seen and I've been playing since wc3 dota. Almost 15 years? This is way bigger than talents.

I'm hesitant about the courier changes and neutral items but everything else looks nice. Snapfire looks like a lot of fun

patch is actually trash. outposts are an unnecessary gimmick making map movement and macro more convoluted, cool new items dropping from neutrals is retarded and incentivizing passive afk farming instead of pvp/objectives, and the expectation that youll have to micro 2 units constantly now in 60+ min games is fundamentally not what dota 2 is about Not Al-Qaeda fucked around with this message at 21:58 on Nov 26, 2019 |

Here's whats gonna happen with the courier in 99.99% of games that go to 90+ minutes where it can actually get items: I'm gonna put items on the courier and use it hell yeah *fumbles courier micro and hero micro, resulting in the courier dying and the hero running into the enemy team and then also dying* Map control and scaling from map control will end games in extremely big ways late game where heros will get jungle items and level 30 and will absolutely annihilate the turtling team the courier will not be a major factor outside of top immortal games/pro games that stalemate sugar free jazz fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Nov 26, 2019 |

IcePhoenix posted:oh, I doubt that will come up in any pub games unless they go like 90+ minutes Yeah a lot of this stuff is pointless for 99% of games. The big thing is the tier 1 and 2 neutral items I think, and the new control point things in place of the side shops. Plus all the hero changes of course.

Without having tried playing with it, I think that the concept could work, but how random it is, and the variation between the drops really seems like a balance nightmare.

I'm fine with some RNG, there is already plenty in the game with rosh and runes and uphill and whatnot. On paper I don't think the neut items are like hideously game swinging but certainly will let a team with map control end the game earlier. Also lol at getting home and seeing Purge at hour 5+ only down to Doom

These jungle drop items are OP as hell and totally RNG. Like, it's one thing if they were just base stat boosts. But these items are totally game changing. Abilities were neat, but these items honestly make the game too drat complex.

My first thought was that supports will probably inherit a lot of these items as cores and junglers farm the six slots they actually need.
