Less games played = less heroes picked

seems as expected

is it bad going glimmer cape on Treant Protector?
just had a game against a zeus as treant protector and i didnt get shard because i figured zeus would be able to just find me and i had an invoker on my team who was always going invis, so the enemy team was constantly carrying dust
my teammate went Pipe of Insight, so i just went Glimmer Cape, otherwise i would have went Pipe, because they just had a fuckton of magic damage from the Zeus and SK

>>494867192
I don't rush to get Shard either if I know the enemy will have tons of detection. But the Shard does also give you an additional root, it's not just the invisibility.

>>494868490
Name one (1) Valve game whose older version they re-released as a "classic".

You're thinking of Blizzard, and everybody shits on Blizzard and WoW Classic. Blizzard because they introduced extra shit nobody wants, and Classic because it is missing newer shit that they got used to and would be nice to have but won't get. Not to mention the balance issues that people forgot about until they actually had to play it.

All this whining about wanting "dota classic" is just all talk, and if you actually cared you'd just Google and download the copies of older Dota working on private servers instead of complaining about it.

Valve is never going to release Dota 2 Classic
They MIIIIIIGHT (huge fucking might) do a limited-time event where you can queue for some old patch like 6.84 or something

>>494870481
Can you imagine the amount of effort re-creating 6.84 or earlier on source 2 would be? Even if they kept those old patches on archive, which they probably haven't, its not like you can just import that shit into source 2. At the very least there would be hundreds of new bugs they'd have to sort out

I miss arcana vote

>>494878446
Valve did the right thing and stopped the arcana vote when they realised the people who vote for arcanas and the people who buy arcanas are not the same. The arcana vote was a popularity contest meanwhile the most purchased arcanas are those for heroes who actually fucking look good.

>>494875656
Don't die, then press your buttons a second time. Pipe has persistent magic resist but the damage block is very finite. Just keep blasting. If you're just dumping all your shit in an all-or-nothing dive and wiping, then you need a new plan of focused or sustained teamfight, that's all. It's a strategy game so you have to build and respond appropriately depending on the situation.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if dispels would purge shields. Probably not I'm guessing.

>>494878953

let me clarify
it did damage to "all damage barriers" which are like aphotic shield, but did no damage to magic or physical barriers like pipe or pavise active
give us an item that damages all three even if its % based

>sing streaming deadonarrivallock to 300 people
lol

>>494878735
It doesn't balance out the fact people voted for heroes they play rather than heroes with good visual design, which then resulted in some ugly ass arcanas like Ogre Magi because nobody wants to actually look at Ogre Magi. The obvious selling choices for remaining heroes would be arcanas for heroes like Luna, Invoker, Vengeful Spirit (got one after the arcana vote), Spirit heroes, Templar Assassin. But those heroes would have waited over a decade in the arcana vote for the plebs to vote dumb shit they wouldn't buy anyway like Sniper, Lion, Hoodwink, Shadow Shaman, Riki for memes, Sand King etc. just because they are most popular

>normal hawk

>>494880202
The point of an arcana is to have something cool or nice looking that a normal cosmetic made by any other artist or third-party wouldn't be able to provide because they don't have special Valve powers. I don't care about a third head but a third head is a good example of Valve powers. But if it looks stupid I will still be here complaining that it sucks. What matters is that (a) it is special, and (b) it looks good.

A yellow Angry-Birds themed skin with chicken poops was NOT it.

>>494881101
>normal cosmetic made by any other artist or third-party wouldn't be able to provide because they don't have special Valve powers

Valve clearly got their feelings hurt and didn't want to risk another flop and that's the real reason they stopped. All this talk about how the people who voted with their dollars aren't the ones who would buy arcanas is wrong and delusional. The number one rule of cosmetics is that they look good. Ogre arcana did not look good and years later, nobody says it looks good except the kids who thinks the Dreamworks Ice Age art style looks good.

A social credit score that lets you ping on ally items/abilities is not a working system. It's insulting and I don't need the game playing granny over me and acting like pinging items is a privilege of some kind if you behave well. It's retarded always been.

tfw they """"""buffed""""""" PL and then nerfed him to compensate

>>494882187
The only faggots pinging skills and items are the retarded feeders pinging while dead so they have something to blame for a lost fight.

>>494882325
Try to come up with a real argument instead of copying my post. It's obvious you have no argument. Someone pinging an abtility has never been a problem in this game. So what someone pings oracle's ulti after whole team dies, he's clearly failed to cast the ulti. You're a pussy and granny valve is already wiping your ass with baby wipes.

>>494882103
Honestly I'm shocked a couple of these went unpicked this year.

OD for example would've been great in the draft IMO for some of the games some teams lost. Like they needed a solid mid with right-click and magic damage, and most of the other carries and ranged mids were banned so I'm thinking they should pick OD and then they pick shit like afk farming pos 1 Batrider and I'm like "Topson you need to meme less here". Maybe there's something cripplingly bad about OD I missed but I thought OD was a fine pick several times but teams kept skipping over him.

Then there's like, Lich and Rhasta who I thought would've been solid support picks but they never picked them even if it meant losing. They'd pick no cc and then get like support Dark Willow and then lose and I'm just like "you could've just used a Lion or Rhasta or something the entire game and it'd be an improvement".

Some of the others are unsurprising though. When shit like Tusk and Ench were mandatory support picks, and pros were obsessed about picking Doom and pos 4 Sniper every game for a 40% winrate, other common offlaners and pos 4s like Axe and Ogre and BH would never get picked.

Incorrect. I got hard stuck at 8k-9k behavior score for a long time even when I said not a word. You lose game people report you. You get put in a 4 stack as a solo quer they report you. Report system itself is non functional, don't remember when it functioned it was always useless and bad, 90% of the time there's no justification for reports from my experience. Putting something as basic as pinging items behind an already useless system is a complete fuck up on valve's behalf. I'm done with it though.

>>494882845

>>494882634
I copied your post to highlight how stupid you look because of your hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness at how everything you said also applies to you. The only retards who ping items and skills are the ones who died first doing stupid shit and then check my cooldowns 10 seconds later to bitch me out for not using them when they were on cooldown because they were too clueless or stupid to check BEFORE feeding. Pinging my shit while the enemy is out of range, or getting mad that I'm not running in 1v5 after them. There is zero value from giving a shit about pings from clueless people like that. Nothing of value is lost and if you think it's so important to spaz out about them to the point that you'll quit for not being able to do it, that's your fault for being a whiny snowflake.

uhh what's the point of these heroes if they don't have really good winrates? Honestly, over half of the time I've had an invoker on my team he sucked and didn't do anything major. And whenever I go mid as pudge in 2024 and face an invoker, I consider my lane to have been won even before I step onto it.
