7.13 The New Dota? (my thought and analysis) in General Discussion
muted all, it's just a ga...

    Are these changes meant to create some "tank, mage, hitter" meta? looking at how strength, agility, and intelligence heroes are created much different and special?

    Probably like strength will counter intelligence because of magic resistance. The fact about how int heroes are literally useless after their spell damage absorbed by these "tanky object" or int heroes with low cooldown spells will work really hard to take down strength heores because during their cooldown, these strength heroes will just regen back their health ((strength heroes recieved HP regen buff)) until eventually those int heroes run out of mana.

    Intelligence will counter agility, considering how fragile agility heroes after the EHP nerf against magic damage, these agility cores gets
    more armor which int heroes dont care about. those movement speed buffs are also useless against int heroes because all int heroes are already equipped with crowd control spells and items.

    Agility will counter strength, Most of our strength heroes deals physical damage ((a VERY FEW exception for heroes that wield special design to deals pure or magic damage)) and agility cores recieved more armor buffs. agility heroes will more likely to win any fight against str heroes because str heroes deals barely any damage to agi heroes, agility heroes can deal damage consistently without being affected by HP regen rate unlike int heroes. On a manfighting situation, lifesteal provided on agility heroes itself will out regen any hitpoint regeneration rate from str heroes. if a str hero tries to run away from agi heroes, agi hereos will just outrun them and most of those str heroes dont have a proper escape mechanism. if an agi hero tries to run away from str heroes, most of those agility heroes have an escape mechanism or gap-increasing spell while str heroes itself dont really have any reliable catch ((most of str heroes stun requires a really close range and any spell with longer cast range has a really slow projectile spell )).

    This change could have been a beginning to create a new "Defense of the Ancient" by making every heroes much more unique and trying to modify the current "carry-support role system" which is so cancerous according to majority of players.

    In the future, we may not likely to see any:
    -agility carries that also work as their team's tank or deal shitton amout of magic damage?
    -strength heroes that build agility/intelligence items?
    -intelligence heroes that is build the way they shouldn't be?
    all because they are specialized?

          I thought so too but we're still far from there yet.
          The STR change was scary though. They even added 7.13b just to balance the HP difference a bit.
          Having a STR hero to tank for the team seems necessary since AGI and INT heroes are more squishy now.

                I wish they find a way to rework status resistance back into the attributes. As of now, the only status resistance is aeon disk, and Tiny's Grow.
