fun fact I just found out: If you buy courier at the start of the game, put it down and destroy it no one can buy it for 10 hours

What's the logic behind limiting courier buys anyway

A common griefing/rager tactic was to mass buy couriers and send them down a lane to feed the enemy team so they get a bunch of global gold

An equally common griefer tactic was to fill the courier with random poo poo and hog it so no one could get anything delivered.

Assholes gonna rear end in a top hat, but there are situations where having 2 couriers would be useful.

Also worth noting: Everyone was saying people would come back to Dota in droves as soon as the patch hit and if today is anything to go by, they didn't. Peak numbers were around what they usually are. They've also done some widening of the MMR range for ranked, I've noticed. Sometimes you end up in games where everyone is 300-400 MMR below you.

I didn't see many people saying that, at least on SA.

Turbo's balance is completely hosed

BUT

the vast majority of Dota players are not actually good enough players that the screwy balance actually matters to them. So whatever.
(I guess the problem might be if you play a lot of turbo and normal games some bad habits might bleed into each mode but again, not a good enough player for it to really matter)

While Valve may talk about punishing 'smurfing' specifically, I think having multiple Dota accounts at all is still technically against the ToS.

I need to earn 2 Ranged tokens and so I have been attempting to play Drow and I am coming to the unfortunate realisation that I cannot play Drow.

I mean I can't play Dota in general but I especially cannot play Drow. I don't get it. You stand there and shoot things and somehow it doesn't work and the enemies just smack my face and kill me anyway
