Dota 2 Discussion (~Boston Majors & Road to TI7~)

[Jasede]

I stopped playing DOTA 2 3 years ago but to this day I still love watching ability draft videos.

 

[Great Deceiver]

I personally haven't played in a month, every time I feel like it I just remember what a shitshow matchmaking is and instantly decide against it. I've stopped playing with RL friends too.

But this is a good chance to go back into it, if only to try the new seasonal ranked matchmaking. Hopefully it'll be better and have less account buyers and overall griefers.

 

[tripedal]

Some really interesting new stuff in this patch. I don't play any more because fuck pubs, can't wait for Dotapit on Thursday though.

 

[hajro]

TFW u will watch the first 7.07 live in the arena :cheersmate:

 

[Great Deceiver]

up on live now. The caster hero seems OP, the melee hero is fun to use (he has a vector skill like Gauntlet in HoN), it's pretty hard to control the ultimate. I was bouncing all over the place.

 

[you know what time it is]

Played for a bit, Turbo is too Turbo (15 mins average game). Overall, idk, it's just feels pointless and boring at this point. Nothing to do with the patch, just the game in general. Played dotes since local equivalent of high school, it was bound to get boring eventually, so yeah.

ABILITY DRAFT UPDATE
Ability Draft has been updated with a completely new draft interface. Plus, players can now swap the hotkey order of abilities and chat with their teammates during the draft. We've also added support for fifteen previously-unusable heroes, and fixed abnormal behavior with multiple others. Think you can build a godlike set of killer abilities? Queue up and find out.

I have 200 hours in regular dota and 1200 hours in ability draft. Sounds good.

I feel that APEM/turbo mode is intended for new players/learning the game, if you have significant experience with Dota there's just no point to it. At least for me, once I learned how to play, I could never do APEM again.

And yeah, I agree about the boredom, etc. I think it gets especially bad once you spend some time away from the game - it's just so much work getting back to it, and having to deal with teammates is just so draining. Even muting everyone and considering them bots is too much work.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Eh I played dota since practically elementary school, in I think 6.02, like 16 years ago and I still find the game incredibly fun. People grow up in different way I guess.

And I find playing and get learning after some times away to be fun. Trying to see what works, what doesn't, analyze heroes matchups on current patch. I always had a freeze period in which I am a bit sick of the game, like 1 - 2 months a year and always enjoyed it when I returned.

I never really care about raging teammates tho, and maybe because SEA region is inherently try-hard there are less game ruining behavior. The point to get enjoyment out of it is, well, don't think about "I HAVE TO WIN" or "I NEED THAT SWEET2 +25 MMR", just play and enjoy the flow.

 

[flyingjohn]

Great,first they remove solo que and then they fuck with randoming.This game is making me hate it more then usual.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

What? You have strict solo matchmaking option (as in you won't be match with party when you are solo queuing) since like April. What the hell are you talking about

 

[InD_ImaginE]

flyingjohn it is in advanced option btw, if you are looking for it, strick solo match making or something

 

[flyingjohn]

flyingjohn it is in advanced option btw, if you are looking for it, strick solo match making or something

Yep found it.Haven't played dota in a while and returned for this patch so had no idea they implemented this feature.
Thanks for the info.

 

[Jasede]

The fuck, the patch is so enormous Purge made a TEN HOUR video about reading the patch notes.

GENERAL CHANGES

•

REGENERATION FORMULA
SUMMARY

• Health and mana regeneration formulas have been reworked. For both health and mana, you gain a direct value. After that, Strength and Intelligence both amplify health and mana regenerations. Void Stone for example provides 1.0 mana regeneration, instead of 100%.

STAT TOOLTIP

• The stat tooltip area tells you how much HP/MP percentage increase is provided by your attributes, and what the absolute values of regen + Int/Str based bonus values are.

MANA FORMULA

• Reworked mana regeneration formula to change percentage bonuses (like Void Stone, etc) to raw bonuses. Each point of Intelligence amplifies mana regeneration by 2%.

• Old: (0.01 + 0.04 * Int) * (1 + Percentages Bonuses) + Flat Bonuses
  
• New: (Base + Flat Bonuses) and increases by 2% Per Intelligence
  
• Note 1: All heroes currently have 0.9 Base, but may be adjusted on case by case basis in the future (like base HP regen is now).
• Note 2: Adjusted various mana regen items, talents, and skills (see lists below)

• Adjusted Items
  • In general items that gave 50% mana regen before, now give 0.5 mana regen, 100% gives 1.0, etc.
  • Other item values:
    • Perseverance: 1.5
    • Scythe of Vyse: 2.25
    • Battle Fury: 2.25
    • Orchid: 2.25
    • Bloodthorn: 2.25
    • Eul: 2.25
    • Linken's Sphere: 2.25
    • Lotus Orb: 1.75

I feel bad for the guy who has to type the patch notes.

 

[you know what time it is]

And yeah, I agree about the boredom, etc. I think it gets especially bad once you spend some time away from the game - it's just so much work getting back to it, and having to deal with teammates is just so draining. Even muting everyone and considering them bots is too much work.

Spending some time away from it worked out in my favor actually, I think I finally understand dotes now. I almost never played the game alone, so I got into a habit of saving teammates no matter what, doing stupid rotations and not paying much attention to anything except having fun with THE BOIS. Started playing again and for whatever reason my playstyle became way more cerebral (major IRL stuff could be at fault here), hence the winrate: with my friends (40%) and solo (78% lul). Even though I had two solo games in a row with retards feeding on purpose (won one, lost the other, with a Georgian Jugg that sold his family's ram for a boost, but couldn't handle the fact that I left his lane as a pudge, to win the other two and started breaking his items), i'd still rate the solo experience as fairly positive.

Spammed pango in the placement matches (got ancient 2), I wish they added him sooner, p. fun hero. Underboss is my favorite in this meta tho (top 1.5% according to opendotes ). With this patch ricing is almost always better than kills, but you don't really want the enemy to rice either, so game turns into a fightfest pretty quick and he kinda excells in all of those things. Neuters enemy core and messes with their farm, pushes fast, fights well, does surprisingly OK damage while being really lowkey about it, natural aura/mek/pipe builder so your team loves you as well, no real downsides and commends aplenty. Probably gonna end up playing offlane/roamer all the way up to 6k (played position 1 or 2 for as long as I can remember, mostly because no one else can play core properly in my stack), that is if I don't get bored again.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

I recently took like a 1½ month break from the game.

It did take some time to get back into the new patch. Valve really could do a better job with the learning curve. But hey, I'm having fun.

 

[Malakal]

Maybe not taking a break but watching some pro dota definitely improved my knowledge of the game.

Unfortunately not playing as much as in the past has lowered my skill at the same time.

 

[Great Deceiver]

It's a pretty good patch and a lot of heroes are strong beyond their previous obvious applications, thanks to the new talents (i.e. Viper is actually a really good lategame hero now in addition to being a lane dominator).

I've calibrated Ancient 1 but I still get way more shitty games than decent ones - and I don't count as shitty games only the ones I lose. If the ratio was more favourable I`d be inclined to play more, but as it is I think not even 1 in 10 games is decent - I define decent games as those where everyone seems to know what their hero does and players press their buttons.

Even though the Ancient bracket is still horseshit and all that really matters is divine 5+, the ratio of decent/horrible games shouldn't be as low as it is.

As it is, playing solo I can only have some amount of fun playing offlane without the interference of teammates. It's the most independent lane and if you get ganked, your team wins anyway. I also play a fair bit of Pitbro and can confirm pubs just don't know how to deal with him. He's great for keeping the enemy carry down and just generally a great fatass/base defender (since pubs also don't know how to finish games when they're supposed to).

Transitioning from a successful offlane into an impactful teamfight hero is often the most difficult thing. Do it too early, all your advantage is squandered because your garbage teammates will be too weak to fight, do it too late your shitty teammates will tilt even though you're the highest level hero on the map solo pushing an enemy t2 like a boss and forcing 4 man rotations while they all farm the jungle.

In fact, the single thing that pisses me off the most about Dota right now is how much of a bitch people are, and how no one actually pushes lanes. After the laning phase, strong carry players should always be farming on the opposite side of the map and aggressively pushing lanes. Instead of that, most of the time you see bitch tits farming the easy neutral camp on your side of the map while 3 lanes are bearing down on your towers. The strategic side of Dota is completely lost on most people - they can only see their hero, and what's immediately in front of them.

It's funny how Slacks of all people got the solo climb thing right. You gotta unite fellow retards under your banner, become a captain of CC Dumbfuck and all that. Doesn't have to do anything with voice or any sort of communication even, just get a hero with that presence, akin to Underbro and the like (besides, mute all in options + chat wheel and pinging cooldowns/calling missing heroes is more than enough). Hence why offlane works great for that type of thing, there's no pressure, but there are opportunities to make plays and if you do well, the rest will usually follow.

__

Just had a game (I was playing with my 3.5k friend) that kinda proves that point. I was pudge, he was spectre. In typical pub fashion we had AA/PA offlane against morph (opponent's 5k player), with PA going 0 9 1 at twelve minutes. Not to mention our mid storm going afk midway through the gank. Anyhow, I kept mid and safelane in check, was the only one warding and rotating, meanwhile spectre got her radiance fairly early (considering he went vanguard prior) and we snowballed from there. Thing is, if you don't tilt and just keep doing your thing, eventually as long as retards are playing and not feeding couriers/breaking items, a fair chance to win will eventually manifest itself (either through opponent's mistakes or through your team getting their shit together and getting key items/talents). When the game ended I had 7190 hp, lul.

Granted at Divine5 people make far less mistakes and coming back from behind is actually harder in this patch, but it's too far away to start bothering with high level tricks and methods just yet.

 

[Jasede]

Slacks is my hero! Have you watched him play? It's an amazing experience.

Aghs rush on every hero, wand? What is that? I don't need Euls!

There's this really cool game where Slacks is sick and not on voice and he's playing with Purge. Purge is playing okay but not amazing. Slacks is playing meh as usual. Purge & his team start to lose badly. Slacks goes "Do you need me to go on voice for this?" -- and he does. FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER THEY WON and ONLY thanks to him. Sure, he didn't do the mechanical playing, but him barking orders and rousing the spirits of his team single-handedly carried that game.

And that's why Slacks deserves his 5K he had, even if he never buys a wand and might be generally terrible. Teamwork >>> everything else.

 

[Jasede]

Found the game! Slacks on Undying, Purge on Viper. It's fun to watch.



Here's a highlight where Slacks, after leading the team to victory, manages to fulfill the 4 tombstone prophecy:

Bunch of shit that should have been free a long time ago (some of which can be considered somewhat pay-to-winnish) turned into a 4$/mo subscription. It's truly dead Jim.

 

[Sentinel]

well retards on reddit have been begging for a way to spend money on the game for 6 months straight

I guess they got what they wanted.

Also this Belvedere guy manages to be more pathetic than Infinitron. Holy shit. I still remember when he went on a meltdown on twitter defending Valve when they pulled some retarded dumbass shit with the chests in the battle pass IIRC. Valve walked back at the time.

I've stopped caring at this point, but I guess Valve realized there was some untapped potential in statistics and they probably realize the purely cosmetic model is nearing the end of its course.

The stats stuff doesn't bother me that much, but the hero challenges/achievements/whatever is really bad for the game - this is something that could be seen in the compendiums as well, with those shitty quests. By introducing secondary objectives to the game, you incentivize people who are already bad to play worse (as in, not to win the match, but to complete whatever trivial task they were assigned). It's pure mongoloid fuel for those who can't find incentive in actually playing the game, but rather need checkmarks and external positive reinforcement to continue engaging in an activity that should be rewarding in and of itself.

In sum, it's bullshit, and bad for the game under every possible aspect except potentially player count (which is what Valve is after, at the end of the day).

Dota is being maintained by three interns and the occasional Icefrog email to the team. All significant talent has been shifted onto Artifact development.

It was a good run.
