I have 5k hours in this game and a quarter of my losses are from not staying back and casting. My problem is not respecting the skill level of my opponents, and they blink onto spots I’d obviously try to chip away at them.

I play against ancient in ranked and divine in unranked. It’s funny that my unranked games are 10x more sweaty.

You can play against aggression by setting up traps. 1 lonely lander happens to have 2 patient tankers in the trees.

I feel like if you have an offlane LC and they're not named something like aLuCarD you're almost certainly doomed. Alucard will duel Ursa under the tower and win the microsecond he hits level six and the other guy will be lucky to have 150 duel damage at min 55.

I didn't realize just how good Rubick's starting stats are these days, it feels unfair to roll up into the lane with 5 armor and 60 damage as a ranged support

That last one has to be the out posts, but I'm hoping it's secretly the fountain. What hero is going to have zero int? My picks are ogre or od (ods skills are based on his mana not his intelligence i think)

Copper For Lyfe posted:That last one has to be the out posts, but I'm hoping it's secretly the fountain. I thought it was outposts too but it seems weird that it stipulates it's any player, and not like "if your team owns both". Letting people jump one from jungle to the other regardless of who owns the outposts would shake things up though, for sure.

As far as the "any player can use a [NOUN] to [VERB] to the other one", I suspect it's not a map feature because it doesn't seem right to me to have a permanent Underlord portal on the map. I can't really think of two spots in the map where a portal is a good idea. Since this is for both teams it would have to be fairly symmetrical on the map, which makes it being near or around mid lane unlikely. Portal between top and bot lane seems bad, laning would be a huge mess if the supports can rotate between top and bottom for free constantly. That leaves a portal between either the two large jungles (where the outposts currently are) or between the two triangles. The outpost connection seems weird, outposts give vision and are claimable. There's no mention of having to own the outpost in the note so how would you choose to teleport or claim when clicking an enemy outpost? I guess there's a chance outposts are completely reworked or even replaced with the tunnel or whatever, but I'm assuming they're staying. Which leaves the triangles having a portal between each other which sounds bad to me. Imagine carries being able to farm both triangles almost at once if their team has map control. Because of that, my wild guess it that it is some sort of purchasable consumable that can be deployed to create a temporary portal between two spots. Probably expensive, with limited stock and a big restock cooldown. Meant to enable cool team plays, sort of like a super smoke. If this happens I would also assume Underlord gets a new ult. Copper For Lyfe posted:od (ods skills are based on his mana not his intelligence i think) Int is the main source of mana, though. And the way that specific note is worded "Always has 0 Intelligence. Always." seems to indicate that even items would not give this hero intelligence. My guess would be Huskar who is already nearly manaless. Or possibly the introduction of some alternate resource like League has energy and rage.

It's going to be an excruciatingly slow day today waiting for the patch notes and also waiting for a body shop to tell me my car is ready for pick up  I haven't played much DOTA in the last 2 months but I'm absurdly excited to see what's new this patch.

i wonder if they're going to make a bigger thing out of the day/night cycle, maybe every hero gets an alignment to one of the states similar to how everyone gets a aghs/shard

They're gonna pull a Wraith King and will sell you back old Techies as an Arcana. Also, first Arcana to change a heroes actual abilities and not just the model

I really do miss being able to self-deny with mist coil because he'd shout "My life is mine to spend!" which is a hardcore line, but pro players ruined it for everyone by just dumping coils into their carry all day

It's gonna be weird if we'll be able to teleport between outposts. I wonder if there's a cooldown if they do add this feature.
