It looks like they ran out of good ideas
Well of course they did. What can you think of that they should have put them as? Its obvious they didn't expect to get so much money this quickly and had to think of goals really quickly.

Played Meepo for my compendium challenge... I was playing a support Meepo, went very well, but my carries made some poor positioning decisions in the late-game which cost us it. The other team also had a Morphling and a Lycan so we were always going to struggle once it went late. Really annoying as I hate playing Meepo, too stressful!
Ended 16/12/20 but 5-6 of those deaths came late in the game as I threw myself at them to try and defend, as well as an all-or-nothing split push attempt to kill their exposed ancient.

I don't really care about the stretch goals to be honest. I assume they have other things under development anyway, so I'd hate for them to be put on hold for the sake of "good" stretch goals (although no-one seems to be able to suggest what they actually want...).
Personally I just want the prize pool to get as large as possible to increase the exposure on The International and bring more positive attention to gaming/esports.
Genuinely I think this is a large part of it... I think they've put a lot of mediocre targets (well, they are in my opinion... and a few people share that sentiment) to simply say "Right, you can spend your hard earned cash again for a reason." Rather than just buying things to simply make the prize pool larger.
See how it goes... Like yourself, I'm just happy to see the prize get even bigger so Dota becomes an even bigger game than it's obvious rivals and I hope that by extension eSports gets a more legitimate reputation from the general public when they realise the money behind it.
It really sucks when you have a strong game on a hero you need for the compendium, that you are either normally poor at or otherwise don't want to play, then your team loses the game.
3v3 map, mid wars, new hero vote, new item vote, anything to break up the monotony of regular 5v5, and something that allows you to not play with russians
Speaking of breaking the monotony, I've gotten bored of playing 'traditionally. How viable is etherial, veil, dagon 5 riki? I'm around 3k mmr, so people sometimes buy wards/dust, but I more want to fool around rather than play it mega seriously.
If there was a stretch goal at $20mil for region lock, I would bet it would be achieved.
Custom maps are going to be a thing thats getting added already. They won't do new hero vote again as they now it will be Techies and I don't think they want that just yet. New items sold silly at the minute, lets wait till they have every hero in the game and its balanced well.
Do whatever you want, just make sure its in unranked.
People randoming in ranked is starting to annoy me.
I kind of forgive people if they random first, you can at least pick around them.
It's the ones who random after everyone else has picked and end up with a stupid hero that wrecks the lane setup.

They will already have an order for the heroes, some will be closer to being introduced than others. I'm happy for them to stick to that order, a vote just means forcing them to bring techies out first, which will just be a bit of a joke anyway.
Well I wouldn't vote for Techies. I'd rather see new heroes or even better I would like to see some hero 'ports' of old HoN heroes. I really miss playing Maliken, Chipper, Bombardier and Nomad
I know it won't happen though so mehWell I wouldn't vote for Techies. I'd rather see new heroes or even better I would like to see some hero 'ports' of old HoN heroes. I really miss playing Maliken, Chipper, Bombardier and Nomad
Techies would win the vote by a landslide. If you want different heroes first then no vote is a good thing.
+1
I had an earth spirit who rolled random, admitted it then fed his way to 1/12 performance. If you experiment do it unranked for the love of god!
i hope techies never comes in dota 2 plus valve loves collecting tears from fans that ask sth too much... hl3
