The patch seems to be good. Pit lord is still the sleeper pick that wins every game.

There's a dude who friended me because we had 2 good games, and now I can't even log in without him inviting me

I didn't start playing Dota to make friends!

This happened to me except we haven’t talked or invited each other since becoming friends. It’s a sad game of chicken now to see who unfriends first, i guess.

I obviously don't have Valve data on cosmetics sales but the problem is that they were significantly easier to find in the past, with the obvious consequence that whatever you got kind of "lured you in" and even non-whales were tempted to buy them. I never buy cosmetics in games but I got 4 different sets in 2014, as most of my friends did. Now it's more of a "gently caress you, buy my cosmetics" system that no one likes and it's really jarring because it wasn't like that before.

They also used to have design competitions for content creators that generated a lot of buzz and the coolest sets at the time. It'd be very easy to make those seasonal (say, one in spring and one in autumn) and, again, promote the pay2lookcool part of Dota. Note, by the way, that it's not an irrelevant part of the game because that little bit of progression/loot after a frustrating loss can make a big difference for some players.

I thought they still did competitions? They had themes for CNY, TI7, and Frostivus.

jajajaja pendejos xd is my life now

I can’t play solo anymore because of this. All my games now are parties, almost always against a China or Quebec stack.

What if you could concede after losing two lanes of rax, instead of an arbitrary point in time?

Uh, so, I’ve played about a hundred games now, and I’m looking to expand my hero selection a bit. I’ve been playing a lot of Axe and Sniper with a little bit of Abaddon. Any suggestions that will help me avoid not having a good pick available? (Axe and Sniper are both banned often.)

I’m thinking about picking up Vengeful Spirit, who I understand is supposed to be pretty straightforward.

Underlord is really easy, really good, and really uncommonly banned or picked.

If you have to play support, Shadow Shaman and Crystal Maiden are reliable and straightforward as well. Some people find CM boring though.

If I haven’t played since before pit lord came out what do I need to know to get back into things

Don’t play Dota. If you have to play Dota, at least read the 7.00 patch notes for the major changes. It’s mostly been refinement and balance since then.

When it was easy to get gold people complained and now that its harder to get gold people are still complaining.

I haven't actually played dota in ages so i don't know who's right anymore.
