also the spell was dogshit because brewmaster couldn't light his own spell, making him utterly reliant on a few specific spells from specific supports to not suck rear end in lane.

I mean dota used to have a should more damage types than it does now. That was a confusing era to be sure. And people were still complaining that simplifying damage types made the game too easy.

flashman posted:sven is gonna be tough lol Yeah I’d really suggest Wraith King over Sven. He’s still a tanky melee carry with a stun, but he has a lot more survivability between his lifesteal and Resurrection. He’s much more forgiving for new players as a result.

If you already got two or three heroes of the same color on your team and you don't at least consider picking one that matches you're a dang stick in the mud

Ok after another 25 games of earth spirit mid I've got some item thoughts. P much never buy boots, bots could be good some times if there's an np or something otherwise roll is fine. Pretty much always going bottle/ bracer/urn/double void stone to start, can get this going super early, bad mid matchups can be alleviated alot by judicious bottling and I'm a potato so roll kick to tower can swing a kill if they think they've got you. Windranger and slark both gave me fits tho at six and there was no killl potential left. After that basically gonna depend on team comp, if we're squishy or have someone squishy to protect I'll go sange kaya, octarine, bkb, blade mail type items. If we've got some beef eth blade dagon has helped big time. You've got room to take a halbred instead as well so for a PA or sniper I'll get that early ghost blade into a halbred before finishing the octarine etc. Biggest spike is def the double void stones though, with a 50 mana roll you basically don't lose mana at that point rolling and you can become crazy active on the map. poo poo like maledict you can dodge with the invincible rolling. I've been tempted to take the spell damage boost talent occasionally but losing more frames of rolling for that doesn't feel good. It's fun to play with eth blade alot too I have only ever used it much in the old style with morphling but it's a crazy effective save against high physical heroes. Witch doctor been terrorizing my games tho

i don't know if there's any mmr where your team doesn't have to be constantly reminded to kill the key supports in fights. everyone wants to blast some tanky core with all their spells and then die to an uncontested aghs WD ult. i think it's just hard to keep in mind things you can't see, like a WD standing a mile back until the fight is already half over

The TI Compendium stuff is up now. This is right up my alley as someone who misses the "stuff to do" like cavern crawl that they phased out  There's a bingo game which looks cool and the standard Fantasy play and a road to TI challenge where you win with a hero that the pros used. Yay for TI

The HUD is the only good one (for my money anyway) since the new UI so that’s cool. They’re giving the legacy voicelines out as permanent bonuses, which people have always wanted. I like the fantasy changes and the bingo. Ultimately I’m not sure why one cosmetic chest couldn’t be part of this, though. That’s what people really care about. Kind of a shame if this is the end of immortal items, though I’m guessing they’ll return somehow. The blog says arcanas are coming after TI so people should be happy they don’t have to commit $100 or whatever to the pass to get those anymore. emdash fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Sep 28, 2023 |

Arcanas returning to being a thing you buy if and when you feel like it and not a limited-time offering that requires sacrifices to the money funnel is a welcome change yeah.

This feels like a somewhat large mismatch between expectation and reality. People were actually hyped for this. I knew we weren't going to get much but I expected more than just a HUD. Also, someone pointed out that the new profile page makes it impossible to confirm someone being a smurf since you can't see hero winstreaks or recent rampages now and you can hide all the other stats too if you want.

Can you see the progression level? If a divine player has less than 50 levels, they’re a Smurf.
