I have a 7 wins streak with Shadow Shaman, he has to be the most powerful pos 5 right now. Super easy to keep your carry safe in beginning, VERY strong auto attack to deny and weaken opponents, and his skillset is INCREDIBLY strong throughout the whole game, even late game you can completely win a fight with a good hex and shackle.

Wasn’t dawnbreaker trash on release Hoodwink was also like, not a super high win rate hero or especially op Snapfire was bullshit though

Yea Dawn was garbage and got like 2 buff patches quickly I think. And then a nerf after over-doing it.

Did they change how Ranked All Pick works or something? If both teams pick Marci whoever clicked it first gets it instead of it being banned. You still get a message saying both teams picked it.

Yeah, you're right about dawnbreaker, she released with a bunch of gamebreaking bugs (losing the hammer forever if you died while it was out lmao) and then got a hotfix bugfix+buff. From there it was back to the lets slowly tone her down plan. hoodwink however was really strong on release, she only got nerfs for several patches in a row, not as dominant because she's not really a carry like marci I think the trend holds in general, heroes tend to release on the stronger side then slowly brought down to parity.

The amount of poo poo you can do with rebound is insane, even before you realize you can combo with stuff like hookshot or blink or teleport.

As someone who primarily plays 4/5... I hate Marci the game isn't even fun to play with her in it, in my experience.

^basically 2250 is hard to come by as a 5, especially after getting your poo poo kicked in the entire lane phase. I've been opting for Ghost Scepter and Force Staff instead lol Just make her W have a scaling range with levels and she'll be perfectly fine I think.

I hope Charlie is the next hero they add. They could just call him the King of the Rats and make him have a passive that gives him immunity to any sedatives and his ult is forcing everyone around him to turn into worms and roll on the ground.

Valve just give up on the idea of ranked seasons or what? Feels like it's been a really long time since the last rank reset.

TOOT BOOT posted:Valve just give up on the idea of ranked seasons or what? Feels like it's been a really long time since the last rank reset. I think so, yeah. If it brought new or old players back they would have kept it, but it didn't really affect the rank reset or work for marketing the way valve runs dota. The effect was to periodically add uncertainty to the well-established mmr eval, which doesn't really do anything except gently caress up matches at the start of the season. They added BP-based mmr double downs and sometimes voluntary soft resets to assuage people who think their mmr is wrong and give them a sense of control over it.

Pretty sure they put the reset button in last year as way to phase out the feature forever. Here's the blog post: https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3066366095799664170 valve janitor posted:In the past we've seen a bunch of negative aspects to forcing everyone to reset their MMR at the same time. That has been part of our reluctance to continue with resetting every 6 months. However after we've expressed this reluctance recently, we've gotten a lot of feedback about how valuable they felt this functionality was to them, along with various suggestions to handling this topic.

hmm, i haven't played in over 2 years. can someone tldr the last 2 years of changes. when did the side shops go away and what is this neutral item nonsense everyone get off my lawn ahhhh

Side Shops disappeared in 7.23 which dropped in November 2019. Neutral Items - after the 7:00 mark in the game, neutral camps will occasionally drop items that go in their own little dedicated slot. They come in 5 different tiers, and every 10 minutes you unlock the next tier -- excluding the 5th and final tier, which only drop after 60 minutes. They are comically overpowered, because DOTA needs game-ending poo poo. The Shop UI also has a dedicated Neutral Items tab for managing which items your team has found. You do need to physically pick them up off the ground when a creep drops them. You can just right click them from your backpack to send it to your team's pool of items if you don't want the one that dropped. Patch 7.28 (2020-12-17) introduced Aghanim's Shard, which is a 1400g item that can be purchased at the 20:00 mark. Similar to Agh's Scepter, this adds or modifies a hero's abilities. For some heroes it's virtually a necessity to buy right at 20 minutes, for others it is a comical waste of 1400g. For some reason the shop shows a Quantity of 1 for the item, but it's not like Wards where your team shares a quantity of them. Everyone can buy one. Not sure what else and by Post I mean Play Sab669 fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Nov 30, 2021 |

Everyone can buy one. it's a janky workaround for the fact that the game wasn't designed to have items which you can only buy after a certain time. The item starts out of stock with a stock timer of 20 minutes, then at 20 minutes the stock timer changes to 1 second, so it's functionally always in stock. same thing happens with infused raindrops, which you aren't allowed to buy for 3 minutes for some reason
