Time for someone to Clement

DOTA drama is always nice. All things considered it would seems like Secret management was practically playing a Ponzi scheme with its player.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

I always thought Puppey seemed like a douchebag, and it seems like my people-skills are on point.

 

[Ninjerk]

Wouldn't DotA 2 be so much better if players were locked into teams like that?

 

[Great Deceiver]

I think it was obvious that Puppey has clocked out of the game a long time ago. He hasn't played pubs in ages and despite the chill persona has always raged pretty hard.

Dude has been playing Dota professionally for like 10 years, I'm sure he's burned out as fuck. Still, he wants more of that sweet moneyz.

Anyone bothered by the new stun indicator? I'd complain about muh skill cap, but honestly these days the game is so fucking polluted with all the shit sets that I just don't care anymore. Anything to help the majority of the thoroughly shit playerbase to tell what's going on is welcome, to be honest.

 

[flyingjohn]

Seems fine to me

 

[Mr. Pink]

I have mixed feelings about this. I don't think it really changes anything because anyone with experience knows how long the stuns are anyways, and it's good for new players to learn the skills but...

it looks terrible and you can't turn it off

 

[Great Deceiver]

Carnival skins are also terrible and you can't turn them off either, the shit train set out long ago...

By the way, you can turn the stun bar through the consle, dota_disable_stunbar true

 

[Ninjerk]

It's so bad.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Well, I haven't seen it in-game yet. What makes it so awful?

dota_disable_stun_bar <true/false> in the console as far as reddit said.

It's an MMO-style buff duration bar in a genre where screenspace is much more of a luxury. I found it pretty distracting.

 

[abija]

why can't they make some clock based display under the feet for this shit? Easily visible and non intrusive... or on the unit portrait.

technically you already have it visible as a little debuff on the buff debuff bar. So I really dont know why this was needed since you already have all the information visible. If they really wanted they could add a slider where you could enlarge the debuff icons if you want tjhem to be bigger. But my biggest problem (and only real one) with this is that they didnt put an option in to disable it and you ahve to look for the console command for yourself.

I've stopped playing this garbage game.

 

[Ninjerk]

I just started again recently. I am TERRIBLE at it.

Dota is unfortunate in the fact that, when it works, it's the best shit ever, but when it doesn't it's the worst shit ever. The problem is that it almost never works, so it's not worth the time.

The key to fun is to play with a bunch of friends

 

[Ninjerk]

Fuck friends.

Balance wise 6.88 gotta to be the "work" patch. Less than 10% of the total pool of hero is garbage. And if it doesn't work most of the time it means you need to get good noob.

I don't think my post meant what you think it meant.

I have an all-nighter once a week with my RL feeder friends. Dota has the distinct problem of only being fun when you win.
