it is the best patch (oh shieet i got the other blue thingy)
Dota unironically changed and is a completely different game now. And it's a shit game for me as well as for the majority of the older players. Not to mention - even the newer players lust for constant patching because the game is garbage.
If the game suddenly returned to 6.79 or something like that - I'm 100% sure it would legitimately be a much more interesting game.
*6.84 came out*
dota isn't just.. dota anymore
Just some random casual shit where the one that spams more shit, plays more gay and groups up more wins by default
wasn't 6.84 the ti5 with lesh/storm/lina fucking everybody up? 6.88 seems to have been the patch where many people were relatively cool w/ balance
comeback mechanic was a dumpster fire of an idea, base shrines were cancer and shrines as tp points is kinda dumb, maybe kill sidelane t2 disables tping to that sides shrine would be better
talents and neut items were imo both good ideas except there is too much variance in the quality of 70m items
*Some* people keep saying the same shit every time a major patch gets released. But they gonna keep changing the game because it makes financial sense to do so. And this is proven by the increasing amounts they rake in every subsequent TI.
the players who care and remember more than a couple of tis back are getting older and, I imagine, giving the game up anyway. on the other hand, dota is directly competing fortnite (and whatever comes after) which reinvents itself all the time.
it sucks because it means the depth of the game is sacrificed for adding more bells and whistles (read: heroes and items) but sadly totally understandable.
personally I think there should be a (mostly) frozen patch used for competitive dota (what was that super balanced one from acouple of years back?). patches never even scratch the surface of possible strategy these days.
You can't overcome stuff solely with skill. That's the main difference between now and then. If you're not spamming some OP shi11t then you're done. Sky has infinite mov speed/dmg/range and mana pool. You don't even have to buy boots just spam some more int and fuuck people up, no fuucking downside. No one can afford a 5 min dagger to control this motherfuucker and even if they did they can't kill him that fast. Wards are free, sentries are cheap as fuuck and if you want to spam sentries over the whole map with a gold advantage you can't beacuse there's a fuucknig limit of 10. People can just fuucking hide inbetween trees and finish a carry and it's gonna be worth it even if you wait 3 min because the other dude is useless all game long. He can't achieve anything alone with skill, he's a slightly sturdier gold seeking walking creep. You get zoned out by any random boots only hero and if you engage they just come back full health in a min while you're low and vulnerable as fuuck. You can't compete with shrines because there's even less you'll be able to do wasting time going there. Map is big as fuuck and small as fuuck. You can't do stuff because it takes to long to reach and you can't escape because you're vulnerable as fuuck, the moment you see one you're fuucked and either engage and die or escape and get even less shi1t done.
The game atm requires 0 skill. You just do what you have to do and win or lose. You can't overcome situations with skills, with skillbuild; an advantage at one moment means nothing, I'd go as far as to say that if you get an advantage you're making yourself lose the game because of the resources used. The more ga@4ay you play the more you get in the end because no one can force you to stay. Time is money, items and experience. Strategically you can't dominate the whole map and flow no matter how far ahead you are. I ask you then, what the fuuck is the point in playing? If i wanted to spam some shit and hehe look i win/lose in the [size=14]MOST FUCcKIGN BRaAINDE4AD WAY PoSSIBLE[/size] i'd be playing some gaarbage game like fortnite, sudoku or candy crush
Rocket’s idea of a frozen patch is a really good one ala SF2: CE for the fighting game community.
Too bad I don’t see Valve supporting such a move.
