played dota over 10 years. it wasn't the game that killed it. it was valve trying to make the game noob friendly, which failed to bring in noobs, and only made the game miserable for vets. oh, and their pathetic resources they've put on the game. if they don't want to hire more than two guys to keep it going, then gently caress them. fixing the UI and poo poo isn't that hard. they're just a bad company.

Really the best character was the one who could eat someone and then digest that character for like 5 minutes, taking them off the map. Butcher, I think

was ToB the one with the l33t haxor character whose ult was to spawn a billion particle effects to make players crash out?

I need something stronger.

I'm a fan of 7.00+, but it definitely seemed like too little too late. Dota2 isn't attracting any new players.

I like 7.00 but I kind of wish international players would start realizing 7.00 changed things. I see a lot of players playing heroes that can do just fine killing people still trying to rice up ASAP battlefuries and midas's as if interacting with others will put them lightyears behind.

A lot of my 7.00 gripes more come down to people refusing to press advantages than actual 7.00 changes.

(though if I'm going to gripe about anything, the newer vertical hero portraits usually look really bad compared to how distinct the landscape ones were; I feel like I can never find Sven unless I type him out)

i think its still growing in CIS and latin america but the system requirements for this game have been creeping up over the years and i dont know how invested you have to be in a PC to actually play dota2 at this point.

perhaps you misunderstood me, i didn't actually play an older version of dota 2. no i played the new current dota 2 and it turns out you can still win if you just allow your opponents to ragequit the match and then push into an empty base

I don't even win because I suppose my behavior score is too good nowdays :negative:

When I had 5k score people picked only carries like PA etc.. Now it's a very tough job to get them to play hard carries and we lose eventually because there's not enough damage in the team (and people really hate push or depush at 1k mmr).
