Come, weary traveler. I see you have encountered too many bitchy posts in r/dota 2. Stay a while and find refuge from the whiny babies before you must brave the storm again…

    Dunno why people are upset that Valve released a small letter patch when they literally said it’s gonna be a small letter patch lmao

      It’s just an exercise in outrage. They know they’re not getting more than a balance patch, but seek out higher expectations anyway just so they have a reason to get mad at valve for not living up to them.

      They’re just bored.

    Thank you for the respite!

    7.33 was so huge, there’s bound to be some sleeper metas yet to be seen but was only overshadowed by the tank meta. 7.34e might bring them to light, or they might not. Either way, I’ll play some other games with some occasional dota whenever I feel like it. Just as I’d always been.

    I liked playing Dota yesterday, I imagine I’ll like playing Dota tomorrow. Why would this patch stop that. Sure it can be fun to have wtf patches, but I can’t figure out why people think this will ruin the game today.

    Thank you.
    It is really mind boggling how this subreddit behaves.

    We all saw it coming over the last 5 years though. The subreddit turned more and more into evil shitstorms. Angry mobs for all kinds of things. It used to be that you couldn’t browse the subreddit during the battle pass. Because the battle pass of [current year] is of course always much worse than th e battle pass of [last year]. Valve of course got greedier and doesn’t care about Dota. Dota is on maintenance mode, yada yada yada…
    Now the subreddit is even unreadable before and after the battle pass season. Am I just getting too old for this shit? Did our playerbase get replaced by a lot of new people from LoL and other games that have different expectations (getting spoonfed 42 blog posts per week)? Did the behaviour of our playerbase change that much? Why? Because of Corona? Getting older (but more childish?)? Did we just become so entitled because we got spoiled over the years? Is Valve really neglecting Dota? I doubt it. They are certainly communicating more than ever, and the last years we definitely had less updates than in the last few months.

    A shame really. I am definitely in search of a new dota community as a replacement for r/dota2

    Balance was reasonably fine before the patch. Balance is reasonably fine after the patch. The obsessive yelling for C H A N G E S is what make games worse. It is a mainstay of these kinds of communities but it is cringe every time it happens regardless.

    I will say though, I’m surprised WD got strictly buffed. The damage multiplier on creeps reduction just means the cask has more opportunities to stun people without killing creeps aka valid bounce targets.
