*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

I'm getting tired of Monkey King in 99% of games I play. Now I understand this happens on the release of most new characters but this hero is ridiculous.

If he's allowed to get off to a remotely good start he just goes bonkers. He's quite squishy but the problem is the speed in which he can kill most things. Most fights end up with him on about 10% hp but half of your team dead.

We aren't unfamilar with balance issues when new characters arrive, but wtf is this guy? he's melee right?, so has better damaged than ranged. But wait...his staff is about as long as Lunas ranged attack. Then he has a stun like earthshaker but this one seems to crit!

I dont know how it got past testing.
 
After playing hours every day I stopped at the end of November as I got bored. Played 1 game a couple of days ago as Monkey King, lost off course :p Don't like the map and HUD changes :(

Maybe I'll have a 2nd game in a few days..
 
The 7.0 or .1 or whatever we are on has really killed my drive for this game.

I just don't like the playstyle, it just seems to be group up at 10 minutes and fight.

Not that I want to spend all game farming, but at least getting an item or 2 then fighting.

Playing ganking heroes sucks as everyone is just sticking together all the time.

Just my experience anyway!
 
I've dropped from just under 3k to just under 2k in not much time at all! I had 13 losses out of 15 games at one point. Nearly every game recently my team just feeds like crazy. So depressing as the overall quality is quite a bit worse now.
 
Can anyone confirm if MonkeyKing has been nerfed? Doesn't seem anywhere near as effective in the last games I've seen people play as him. That or they could just be bad.

I'm actually quite liking life post-patch...
 
I think he is still OP, he won't be considered it in the pro scene as they have teamwork.

But in pubs he can easily get out of control.

What makes me laugh is people that say, it's easy, just don't let him hit you lol. As if that's an easy thing if you're a melee carry or support in a lane with him.
 
I must just be playing with & against some useless people then! I see the frustration if you're playing melee though. I'm near enough always ranged so that might be skewing my perception.
 
I've played as him 3 times, and won every game dominating.

I'd say he must be OP, I had no idea what I was doing the first 2 times and still managed to come out on top easily.

That's in no way saying I'm some Dota king, it just didn't seem fair lol
 
I'm loving dota with the new talents etc. The game seems a lot more scrappy these days and I like it. I've been playing Chaos Knight as a support which has been fun.

Back to around 3k now which is a relief but the game still has some toxic players who occasionally ruin it.
 
Some needed changes in the new balance patch, no more broken pulls from Pudge and others. Ember is a bit worse, still haven't fixed him being able to permanently root someone at lvl 25 though.
 
I've personallly found the game has regressed from the patch (I forget the number) which fixed snowballing and tended toward longer more balanced games I find it back in the dark days of two thirds of my games are decided in sub 30min one sided stomps which is boring either which way.

I didn't play for about 3 month but after a month back I'm probably going to drop out as stomps just either bore me (when I win) or frustrate me (when I lose) on top of that im not sure if they picked up a load of fresh players thanks to the last tournament but general competency in game is rather frustrating these days.
 
Just had a quick game after months playing other games, so toxic....last time i play this game. I tried to support 4 cores but alas...... i need to get cancer i was told.
 
I actually just had a fantastic game after digging it out earlier :p

We had WK, BS, Lesh, Zeus & BH against LC, LS, PL, Rub & Clock. They mauled us I think they were 12/0 bybaround 8mins but we turtled team patiently defended and let me farm as WK and got the win after 1 hour and 5.

Went a weird build of radiance, Mjol and Mail but it worked perfectly on their PL who was scared to come near me by the end, really tense but great win in the end!
 
and that's Dota 2 deleted.

It just seems to be getting more and more toxic, cancer, aids, anything about your mum, i'm afk, i'm feeding now.

Just haven't got time for keyboard warriors in my life. It's truly pathetic and I would wager my house that 95% of the ones spewing the vitriol wouldn't dare say it to anyone face to face.
 
Sometimes its best to just load the game, mute your entire team, and then just play your best lol.

There are some horrendous people though. If I could have a regular stack of 5 people I knew I would love this game even more. But unfortunately I just tend to play alone .
