the item balance is definitely out of whack for now. repair kit, helm of undying, and a few others are going to have to be adjusted or removed. but it's real hard to balance 60 items correctly on the first try

very interested to see how 7.23a looks

NA back to 2 slots, EU gets 3 slots. SEA still with 3 slots as well.

Also NIP playing in NA.

Talents loving suck though so are you saying this patch sucks too?

NA region actually look pretty stacked. All regions have 2 slots for open qualifier teams. Secret, nigma and OG are all gonna duke it out in Opens.

Is it that much different from a dd rune spawning for the Morph right as they get aghs? Some of the items might need some tweaking but the drop rate is pseudo rng so map control will pretty reliably get you more stuff.

yes bc DD lasts 60 seconds and is dispellable and a crit is way stronger than a dd when you have enchant totem buff. and again the Morph got the aghs for free.

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


They won't have to qualify for it, pretty sure last year's winners get a direct invite.

Definitely not true: EG had to qualify for TI6 because they made a late roster change, and Wings didn't get invited to TI7 because they had disbanded.

OG qualified to TI this year through DPC points. They don’t invite previous tournament winners anymore.

Do the new heroes not have aghs upgrades? I was confused by DOTA PLUS suggesting Aghs on Spitfire since it had no description so I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything

Dont think we really have an abundance of cranky crazy old ladies to call Spitfire boring honestly.

It's an old lady on a salamander which is rad

Is there a good way to find a stack to play with in EU? Map control and neutral items are super important and it's impossible to organise people for the first few days of a patch.

O Muhammad, I seek your intercession with my Lord for the return of my eyesight
so if you cast lycan aghs on a terror blade after terror blade casts metamorphosis terrorblade gets haste, bonus hp, crit chance , and extended range, but becomes a melee hero with that extended range so his attacks are instant at range, and all of his illusions made afterwards get that too, but all of the illusions are uncontrollable

also if you cast lycan aghs on a storm spirit he makes wolf shaped remnants. which is loving rad. and so does ember. they are stuck in the lycan trasnforming animation.
