Yes, death balling definitely came about because of the come back mechanics, that definitely weren't introduced the year after newbee won ti4

JollyPubJerk posted:The death of ratting was step 1, but the game was salvageable from that point. Newbee wasn't deathball, it was early-game cores that ganked at 5 minutes into super early push that was very dependent on certain cores to accomplish. I think the argument regarding the current style of newbee's deathball and current deathball is a minor one. The nb style brought about deathball optimizations into what it was and the way games played out during the major deathball meta period the game went through was cancerous as hell. Games being won or lost at the 15 minute mark is bad for the health of the game almost entirely. Having that style of game once in a while is alright, it just can't be the meta style of play. Comeback gold was the most immediate and most balanceable way of fixing this issue. It's a number that could be easily tweaked simply by changing the calculation formula. It was certainly poorly implemented at first but I think for the most part it's at an acceptable state right now. If you find yourself dying at 15-20 minutes and giving up 1k gold to someone then that is 100% a death that should not have happened. Sure there are some possibly cheesy stances but for the most part, early gold swings like that should be avoidable if you play smart. Regarding rat playstyle, maybe I'm in the minority but I've been under the impression that DotA is a team game, a 5v5, so I find it weird that people think rat should be a powerful strategy that can win games all on its own. The idea of a team game playing out not as a 5v5 but rather as a 1+4v5 seems like bad design. Yes, in this day and age rat can certainly work but it requires the enemy team to misplay, as in they have to literally not look at their minimap for it to be a viable strategy. Rat not being good anymore isn't a sign of bad balance, I think it's rather a sign that the playerbase as a whole has just gotten better and they know now how to deal with it. I'm not 100% sure of what the meta is right now simply because I'm not an active player or spectator anymore, but maybe if the game doesn't appeal to you anymore stop playing? I'm not trying to word this as a "uninstall noob" kind of flame, I think that maybe you just don't like how DotA plays anymore. I played nearly 1500 games of league of legends and spent an autistic amount of money on that game and I've barely touched it in the last year, sometimes you just have to move on to greener pastures and find your next passion. Not all games are meant to be played 'til time immemorial.

Minorkos posted:yeah except this is dota and you can't really be expected to keep all 5 of your heroes alive. there's just too much damage/stun going out. even an invoker with a massive gold advantage still dies to a lina with an euls + 1 other dude, so you're basically bound to lose at least 1 of your cores when you push high ground. also there are a ton of heroes that often die as part of their initiation. I agree with you in the sense that there are lots of ways to output a high amount of damage very quickly in DotA but I still feel that those types of deaths (barring cheesy poo poo like SD smoke into disruption into 5 man gangbang or some other similar poo poo) you still have to misplay to die to them. Like yeah Lina can walk up on you with Eul's and W>R>Q you, but usually for something like that to happen she'd have to either smoke or take a weird path to sneak up on you during night, and in both of these examples the invoker player should probably be aware that Lina isn't showing and hasn't shown for probably 10 seconds. Like with the rat example, the misplay here is not having the presence of mind to look at your minimap. I don't want to say that the optimal way to counter this strategy is to just group as 5 because then I'm gonna see "lol idiot that's just deathballing" but is it really? In the kinds of cases where these massive swings happen its usually because one dude gets caught out instead of jacking off with his team, but when you have one dude who is really stacked and wants to punch towers then the correct play is going to be to play around that guy because he is going to be what wins you the game. I agree with you (at least based on what you said I think this is an opinion we share) that shrines are dumb as hell. I like the idea of the towers gaining additional armor but I think it's done poorly in this case. I think that change should probably only apply to T1 and maybe T2's, but certainly not T3's because it just adds to the issue of "going highground is a game losing move". I'm fairly certain that since we have them and they were a pretty defining feature of 7.xx, shrines probably aren't going anywhere so I think the change there would be to either lower it to only one base shrine per lane (so 3 rather than the 5 that are currently there, like what the gently caress?) and the regen on the ones in base should probably be slashed in half. Personally I'd like to see it go down to only one Shrine in base (but it maintains its current regen amount) since we're stuck with 'em for the time being but it's never gonna happen. Past that I'm not sure what else to subtract away before we just get left with what we had before. The game has to innovate somehow, if it didn't then playerbase death was assured. With the changes that we have now, at the very least you'll have people both old and new sticking their head in the door to see what all of the fuss is about. Number tweaks can only go so far to drive interest in the game.

VikingofRock posted:The best LoL lol was when one of the champs had a moving ult that was implemented as a unit spawning in place, then being killed, then spawning slightly next to it, and then when that champ was on a team with another champ who gave bonus gold for last hits you got like infinity gold every time you ulted. That was due to the old riot philosophy of "code everything as a minion" and most of lols major bugs in the past came as a result of this
