Lmao how long was dota 2 around before it added tutorials?

The Dota 2 tutorials are only tutorials in name, they are dogshit at actually teaching people how the game is played.

I for one am glad the Russians are finally getting a female character, even if an acquaintance of mine gets increasingly mad at the number of female characters in the game because it limits his character pool.

If they are both attackers, I suppose the UK and American operators from S3 will be both defenders. I think it's just a matter of time before someone gets that Calico machine gun pistol with like 50 rounds :v:

Yeah, I also want realism in my games about japanese men that are invisible to cameras and psychotic brazilians that can get accurate, up to date information on future location of four other people just from a 2 second chat.

I'm sorry, but he's a North Korean man who is invisible to cameras, thank you very much.

It seems like these two share an introduction video. It's in Spanish but someone already made a good translation down in the comments.

I'm thinking about getting this during the Steam sale. Which of the versions would be the best value? I'm leaning towards the Advanced since its only like $5 more than Standard. Also how much is Uplay involved in the game as I've heard nothing good about it.

Advanced. Don't go for the cheapest one (the one that gives you two free characters)

Uplay is pretty benign, it's only used to sync saves as well as weekly challenges that are activated through the overlay.

Every day I see people on Reddit who complain about only having 12 operators (out of 30+) after 250 hours. Don't get the Starter Edition.

i heard if you buy the starter and then a year X pass it unlocks standard rates but i have no clue if that's true. I got starter because I only had $15 so

That's not true. I had the Starter Edition, bought a pass and still had to pay 12,500 for base ops (I just bought the Attacker/Defender bundles).

It's interesting because now that they've mentioned a Ban/Pick system, stuff like Smoke, Lesion and Echo being a counter to Finka; Echo to Dokkaebi (sort of) etc makes way more sense.

Unlocks:

-All weapon attachments will now be automatically unlocked when you purchase an operator

-You will get all 20 standard ops with when you buy the STANDARD edition

Servers:

-2 new data centers in South Africa and south Europe

-Servers have been getting more stable throughout the last Year

Pick and ban and round flow:

-Ban Phase: Both teams ban 1 attacker and 1 defender

-You now play 5 attacking rounds, then a half time and then 5 defending rounds.

-Enemies can now see what OPs you pick, and apperently you can "fake" a pick

Maps:

-Hereford Base is completely reworked, will come back Season 3. More stairs, they want to make all OBJ viable picks and move the OBJ away from windows for more indoor firefights. Completely new Art Design.

-Yacht will come back as casual map

-Bomb is now their main gamemode to design maps around, maps in the future will be bigger

-Club house will get MAJOR reworks, there will be a new room on the roof between cash room and bedroom, bar will be sectorized with new walls and a bathroom and a stairway underneath garage. Will get implemented maybe Season 2.

-One map buff per Season.

-New Roadmap: https://imgur.com/a/2idJu
-Pro League now 6 months.

-4 Dreamhack Minors

-Major in Paris in August

I thought the ping was because every week there's a sale on Ops for those who own the Starter Edition, and the ping's just signalling that.

Tatical and cool. I'm talking about the people who Have to wear the blood orchard/other non fun uniforms at all times.

I like the way gloves look while using the Blood Orchid uniforms. Doc loses his white gloves, I don't like tan so Blackbeard becomes 100% more visually appealing, I dislike the blue that Hibana/Echo have on their uniform as well as the Spetsnaz camo, etc. The only case in which I'd say I use it because of actual gameplay reasons is Frost/Buck, because white stands out like crazy.

And now we get two bright yellow ops. gently caress.

You got a duplicate Ash set, yeah. The Damascus skin is a known bug, a hotfix is coming out tomorrow.
