zai was doing work as pango last night w/soul ring->vanguard->blink->diffusal. presumably abyssal comes after that i'm not sure what he offers over other offlane blink initiators, though, except he farms lane creeps v fast and has really good uptime on his skills. oh and he's really fun to play

Chucat posted:It's this imo any f2p game is this some variation of this, and increasingly the p2p games are too I wrote a big tryhard thing but gently caress it, basically Dota's really old and it's impressive that it's lasted 10+ years when most frustrating, complex, difficult games fade to a few thousand players in that time (RTS games, arena FPS games, Melee and kind of the whole FGC). It's far from dead with 800k peaks and this thread is a terrible metric of its quality/popularity. Valve fucks up but so do the devs of every other gigantic game. Play it if you have fun playing it. Namaste (The two major possible improvements are a tribunal with long-term bans and a role queue, which would not be a disaster despite what people think. Draft stays the same you just promise to play a certain role. After maybe a couple weeks of bullshit people will start picking what they need to pick to win.

there was some routine SQL job loving up and causing the GC to go down for several minutes at a time, sometimes several times a day. In order to get it to work properly again, they prob had to repair one or several huge tables In the end it was down about 11 hours

Bear in mind that while it's often better, the 4 doesn't have to be the offlane support. Sometimes you lose the lane if you send two melee there, or no one can nuke for the ranged creep CS, or whatever. I guess that standard developed out of the old roamer meta but it's not inherently needed

DNK posted:New Clinkz feels really good in the lane (depending on matchups can go either mid or safe with a strong support), but man his new ult skeletons do absolutely nothing. yeah even with a nice 6-slot it's like 60% as much damage as the old one, and it makes the aghs lovely too I wonder about going deso + AC, -17 armor on your target seems pretty nice but AC is expensive. Haven't tried it yet though

According to Reddit the change is you can’t pause before first blood, presumably because an absurd percentage of pubs have at least a minute of pause immediately upon loading Not sure it actually addresses the problem, since some of it is down to the dota client being unreliable. but a lot of other games don’t have pausing at all so I think people will learn to manage

Undying and Omni in labyrinth are S-tier melee for sure, while Jugg Ursa and Void Spirit seem to be A-tier. Tusk is definitely usable too in case anyone hasn't seen it, there's a leaderboard with builds and talents: https://stratz.com/aghanim/leaderboard?didWin=true&take=20&difficulty=GRANDMAGUS&seasonId=2

there's currently a lot of emphasis on having the range/melee split in the sidelanes so it can be worth picking a ranged 3 if your 4 picked melee. Heroes like veno, death prophet, viper, razor, necro can be viable options for this

What mode? Ranked is usually pretty fast unless you queue safelane only. I don’t really know about other modes, but I imagine NA unranked (nonturbo) is pretty slow.

Ojetor posted:Who doesn't love being the solo queuer matched with a 4-stack vs a 5-stack? this definitely can't happen because the change is only related to ranked TOOT BOOT posted:I wonder how many of these matchmaking changes that they've implemented every so often are just to make queue time a little more manageable as the playerbase slowly declines... Any MM change you see is either related to reddit complaining or some kind of Valve data analysis I think. In this case there has been a steady stream of complaints about bad matchmaking for 5stacks on Reddit, with screenshots showing large medal discrepancies between two teams. (interestingly, net change in players per week is almost 0% year over year)
