 Dota 2 is a game supported and balanced by Valve Corporation, a company that has not made a game in over ten years. the new hero is a teen girl promoting the failed netflix anime i think idk How do I, against my better judgment, play this game with other goons? warily join us on this discord Wangsbig fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Oct 20, 2021 |

Pangolier in Boots is neat. Edit - "Flying Courier upgrade can no longer be purchased. Courier now upgrades automatically at 3 minutes." Oh good. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Oct 31, 2017 |

At a certain point in every game, nanomashoes will announce that he had won his lane, and therefore he just doesn't know how things got this way. Also I've been bouncing around test servers and had a few thoughts on the new heroes First, the fairy is definitely crazy strong and fun with probably too many disables and damage on pretty short cooldown, but I could see her being tricky and a bit poo poo if she's a hard 5 with no experience. The bushes she summons go up nigh instantly, and so long as there's not a bunch of creeps in the way it's insanely good for locking down pretty much any amount of heroes, on top of the high damage each root does. The phase with no downside and a damage boost at the end is insane for survivability and damage, and probably makes her a pretty decent offlaner by itself. The ticking timebomb AoE stun seems really good and strong as a combo skill, as you can insta-drop it on top of any kind of root or stun and not have to worry about overlap. Her ults are both silly strong, with the wisp ball making GBS threads out damage on a 15! second cooldown, and her large AoE fear comboing with her roots and AoE stun for a truly stupid amount of lockdown. On top of this, she has good base damage and a fantastic attack animation. She's definitely going to be an early contender for the coveted "Most annoying little poo poo of the Patch" award. The other new hero, the musketeer pangolin, is definitely fun and interesting, with a bunch of unique tools. His dash stab is tricky to effectively use, because it's got a long, thin vector target hitbox where you select your dash spot, then which direction you stab in. Outside of that, his Q has a mix of absurd range and good damage, plus it can pick up attack modifiers like diffusal blade to really stack on the damage. His W is a big thunderclap, which makes you a bit tankier with every enemy you can hit. His passive is a long slow which tears off base armor, so it's pretty good mixed with his q, but at 15% proc rate isn't really worth building around. His ult turns him into an unstunnable bowling ball straight out of sonic, which stuns enemies you touch and can bounce with W for lots of damage. It's a hilariously fun skill, especially pinballing down the river and bouncing off every wall. He's definitely a hero that's almost entirely reliant on hitting his skillshot. Get Orb of Venom to lane and a blight stone into diffusal, and land your Q. If you can land the Q without getting yourself merc'd, you're going to get a lot of procs off of everything and murder pretty much anyone. You can roll into teamfights or out of lovely situations, but he's squishy so if you dash yourself into the wrong spot you're going to get blown right up. Shadow blade is really good on him, and you can actually use it while rolling and be an invisible bowling ball. Blink also works while you're rolling, and is hilarious, but probably not that great at actually winning you the game. Anyway the patch is great fun and full of good changes, and there's nothing more terrifying then a slardar charging at you up a river at 700 movespeed holy poo poo

These new patch notes are looking good, Crystal Maiden looking pretty poo poo atm but my other favorites Spirit Breaker seems stronger than before as I usually stack evasion items like halberd and solar crest anyways in 2k shitter, Clockwerk with true sight talent seems good. Might give Riki a try too

It's even more apparent when you look at all the tags pangolin has. A tanky DPS with a cc ability and an escape! Wow, just what this game needs more of! . More than anything they look like some Dreamworks ripoff and  as h*ck.

new heros are just a distraction to how they added super -em to the game now if laning phase actually matters again that'd be neat. suicidal off-laners have been completely useless for a while now and resulted in a game that's boring as gently caress waiting for everyone to farm then 5-ball the rest of the game.

Minorkos posted:he isn't saying anything bad about the patch but it still looks like complaining lmao Breaking high ground will probably be a net gain overall, adding Normal Person Mode might make the game as fun to play solo as other mobas, most of the hero changes seem focused around level 25 aka "the phase where everyone gets a little samey" which is good. All of this is moot though in the face of the worst change: Tinker can now refresh 9 items.

Tinker with the new Anti One-shot (Aeon Disk) item is gonna be a pain if he can refresh it. Along with any other annoying splitpushers.

I'd like to try learning how to play this game for at least the third time now, could anyone suggest some guides for people new to the DOTA? I assume that they haven't made the ingame tutorial any better at not getting you yelled at in games.
