Minorkos posted:It kind of sucks because it limits your offlane options to like 5 heroes in the current patch. Anything that doesn't withstand a tactical nuclear strike is way too greedy for the offlane now. I like a lot of the other changes but offlane/safelane dynamic sucks now. It's really annoying when enemy supports sit their asses down on your lane and still compete with you in levels because of the 2 free bounty runes and so on. And then after they've zoned you for 2 minutes, the enemy carry runs at you with phase boots and extra 2 levels, and then the lane is loving done Some guy on my team begged for solo off, I told him it'd be better if I laned with him since the hard lane is actually hard now, he said 'You can't go into games assuming your teammates are retards.' Then he picked Pugna and got turboraped by their trilane and we lost.

IncendiaC posted:Not all that much in the grand scheme of things. Off the top of my head, the following have been simplified or removed: eh not quite The game isn't simpler. More poo poo more mechanics, etc, actually has made the game that much more complex and faster paced, which means it's harder and requires more APM-type skill than ever before (No, microing a courier wasn't hard that hard). It's easier to get to lategame as a newb, but the ceiling has skyrocketed Also, I was always a proponent of making ganking more effective. I enjoy suicide-ganking to kill the carry the most. That has gone from very effective, the minimally effective, to outright throwing in the current game environment. They changed the game so if you aren't 5v5ing as early as 10 minutes, you are going to lose. The comeback mechanics also completely undermined anything this game had to do with economic advantage. Objectives was always good, but not in the way they did it

Now that offlane is probably harder than it's ever been, mid and carry have an even more disproportionate impact on the game compared to other roles. I mean yeah, a good support player will be really good at securing the early game, but nowadays every game usually goes to some sort of lategame so the mid and carry end up deciding who wins. With how spread MMR often is in a game, you basically have to play pos 1 or 2 if you're high MMR compared to your team and pos 3-5 if you're not. And with tilted dunning kruegers often competing with you for a core role, it makes for some really annoying pubbing experiences

So is Jugg just terrible now or what, his talents are a complete joke, omnislash is easier to counter than ever, and the game showers stronger carries with gold so his early game advantage is meaningless.

I think I hate the courier cost increase the most over the past couple weeks. You can't just casually pick one up to show yours off, or to be nice, or anything, because it's a huge chunk of your starting gold. You are gimping yourself significantly to buy one at the start of the game if you're a core.

This meta is really boring. Nowadays in pub dota the enemy safe lane is almost incontestable and unwinnable, and likewise your own safe lane is almost impossible to lose as well. It's trivially easy to zone and kill anyone who tries to enter the safelane with a normal rear end trilane. It seems like the only real early game fighting happens in mid now. It's really depressing. Apparently the last meta had too much fighting in the safelane and this is their solution??? At least high ground pushing isn't quite as hard

you see, the obvious issue with having 3 lanes is that, with 2 of them being mirrored, there can only be either a lot of fighting or very little fighting depending on how the balance of the side lanes are for each team. the solution? a fourth lane.

jBrereton posted:Cosmic brain: you can get both Or you could play PA/CK/Sven and kill people before they have a chance to react, Slark/AM/PL/Void and peace out when they try, or Medusa/Spect and shrug off any damage that might come your way until it runs out, or... My point is, yeah you CAN, but it doesn't change the fact that Juggernaut is kind of bad right now since his niche (carry that comes online early) is useless (since there's so much more gold on the map and offlaners can't really bully carries anymore) and he needs to buy an expensive and absurdly badly statted item to counter common inexpensive ones now, instead of countering it with a relatively inexpensive item with an easy build up and good stats. strong bird posted:Good Do you want to go back to the days of Naga or Morph being the best carry?

A good friend of mine wanted me to play dota (I even dodged a Henron invite because of it) and he proceeded to 'support' me by picking pit lord, autoattacking creeps AND using firestorm on creeps (later he stated that it was his intention to hit heroes). turboraton fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Nov 22, 2017 |
