*** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

I think Brood has been nerfed really hard. Yea she was broken in this patch by being able to climb off the map but looking at the 6.80 patch I cannot see what use she will be.

Couple of sentries down in her lane and she won't be able to escape into the trees, doesn't have the flexibility of a BH, Rikki and Clinkz who can turn invisible and roam the entire map. Brood has a massive web indicating where she is likely to be, especially in the early levels.
 
It does sound fun, I like playing lion too.

Only thing is by the time he has aghanims, the carries should all have BKB by then and make it a bit of a waste.

But for pubs, it's going to be awesome!

I watched Draskyl last night he went through the patch notes with Bruno and Lumi, took ages but they gave a good rundown of what the changes will mean.

They were saying this is basically a pub patch. Won't change pro play too much.
 
Nerfs that effect the pro scene I would say, Invoker forge spirits and Necrobook.

Just listened to Merlini's thoughts on the patch which seemed like a quick run down than anything really in-depth. No-ones mentioned the ward and bottle change, I like both of those :)
 
They talked about the changes on invoker maybe bringing back other builds of invoker.

At the moment there are only 2 real choices and they were saying this could change, which would be nice would be more fun if people could build him other ways.

Mainly the change to alacrity they were talking about.
 
Loving these patches.

New heroes, new game modes, new hats!

Mixed feelings about my beloved Brood and Earthy being nerfed to the ground, but you can't have it all.
 
Wow thought everyone would be talking about the new patch :P

The random ability mode is a lot of fun! Completely messed up my first build when given a bloodseeker. Ended up with:

Omni's purification, DK's Dragon tail, Bloodseeker's bloodrage and shadow shaman's serpant wards as my ulti.

Obviously was constantly out of mana lol, ended up going urn > rod of atos. Didn't really matter as our team were stomping.

Next game I think my build synergised a bit better. Got randomed a Lycan with the following abilities:

NS Void, Venomancer's Gale, Lycan's Howl and weaver time lapse ulti. Had a lot more mana to play with and was going for a kind of gank build. Still picked up Vlads > Medallion > Heavens Halberd. Didn't get to use time lapse much as it was another stomp from us. If there was a high damage ult that would have been a better choice.

Very fun mode though guys, you should definitely play a few games on it.
 
Only had a couple of games last night, came up against a Terrorblade.....that guy is huge! Felt like I was laning against Roshan. Biggest hero yet perhaps?
 
I don't think the patch is that interesting tbh, none of the new heroes interest me and I find the game mode really dull after 2 games.

Also I'm like 99% sure he is the biggest hero yet, he isn't that big until he activates his ranged form, even bigger when he has ranged form, bkb and bloodlust.

First game against that terrorblade dude owned us, got manta early and couldn't tel who was who, the model is so huge it's also hard to target the one you want as they kinda overlap when moving together.

2nd game against him again, picked silencer just so once he was low on HP i could silence him so he couldn't swap it, we won that game. I know plenty of people dislike silencer, but I really like the hero.

Situational obviously, but a fun hero.
 
Murray said:
his ult is so low range and has quite a long cast animation, pretty easy to deal with.
Click to expand...

First time ever playing against him so I didn't know any of this at the time.

I don't think the animation is especially long, 1 on 1 if you don't have a stun or silence, you can't stop him doing it.

His model makes Doom look like a child.
 
I thought there was a new map mode like wraithnight :( oh well.

Played a hour game today and IO got kicked for inactivty at the start of the game and i didn't notice... Was gutted to see no jade loots or w/e its called lol.
 
Played the ability draft last night for the first time. Got randomed Clockwerk. Absolutely everybody, including the enemy team, laughed at my abilities I chose. I had AM's Blink, PA' Blink Strike, PA's Blur and Slark's Shadow Dance ult.

I ended up going 40 kills 4 deaths :D

Was a lot of fun! Game after though we got smashed. They had a Drow that took her own Marksmanship ult and Slarks Essence Shift. She had a ridiculous amount of agility lol.
 
Ability Draft is insane.

Came up against someone that had Ion Shell and Shukuchi, we could just do nothing against him. He just snowballed from about 3 mins!
