Xtanstic posted:So I'm dumb. Is the Battle Pass a separate thing from the yearly TI compendiums? Or is BP the only thing now. I don't really care about BP because I don't play anymore but I want my yearly purchase of a compendium and the assorted goodies. Nope, they're the same thing. There's Dota Plus (the subscription service) and the TI Battle Pass/Compendium. The TIBP is the same thing from years past; you get the assorted TI items (music pack, ward, courier, terrain, Immortals 1-3, etc.) and Compendium stuff, though instead of the old quest paths (those got reworked into D+) there's a new game mode where you just need to win games as certain heroes for the quest sets. Also same, I've basically stopped playing entirely (ruining the queues for co-op AI games was the final straw) but I still bought the BP just for the hats.

gently caress, I knew GESC was gonna have low production quality but this is way worse than expected.

So they released the compendium with role queue and mutation queue that split the playerbase...on the same day as the Thanos event in Fortnite. Goodbye reasonable search times

No one wants to play valve’s dumb game modes yet for better or worse. Just do unranked ap, the queues are super short

Xtanstic posted:Whaaaat? noooooo what did they do? They added custom AIs a while back which you can choose from when you queue for a co-op bot game. It sounds great on paper since the default AI isn't great, but the game won't let you select multiple AIs to queue for if you don't care about the AI and just want to find a faster game. What ended up happening was the already-small pool of co-op bot players got fragmented even more and now it takes forever to find a game (and each AI is split into like 4 different difficulties). There's no indication of which AI has more players queuing for it so it's basically a guessing game of "which AI are other people queuing for", and if you guess wrong it'll take like 10+ minutes before you give up and try another one.

Apparently Vega dropped out of GESC last minute because two players didn't get their IDs back in time from getting their Visas for MDL. Nobody was brought in to replace them.

feels more like additional nerfs to 4 positions to me but i also haven't really played any games yet what's the impact, dota players?

botany posted:feels more like additional nerfs to 4 positions to me but i also haven't really played any games yet Hmm well the bigger impact was a patch or two ago when Bounty Runes stopped giving exp. A lot harder for roaming 4s to just get exp by grabbing Runes. It'll encourage more fighting for control of tunes instead of doing a timing play with wagons

Can pudge still store runes in base indefinitely? Seems like bounties now give an extra 15g/min total for the team - wonder if it's finally worth it now since every new batch of runes is worth a total of 300 team gold more than the last. At least this change reduces bounty-rune bitching to just bottle vs non-bottle havers.

You'd waste so much loving time just hooking it back to base and not doing anything so definitely not. Also alch is just super loving dead now. Moreso than before

Peruvian Report: You can level up REALLY fast if you queue turbo all day, I did it for one day and I'm lvl 12, the bad part is that you have to play turbo, I might never ever play that mode again in my lyfe. Turboraton out.
