“Patch is shit” - Yatoro

If smth is wrong, its better to say instead of being silent. Trust without complaints the world would be fucked even more

Valve communicated? Can you count how many times this year they said “something came up, so we are not ready to deliver a content yet”.
This is not normal for such a huge company, you can meme about 5 ppl working on the game as much as you want, but such a big company should have standarts. If you read their promises this year it just makes them look amateur. Its a huge game that is out for so many years now. How delivering things on time can even be a possible problem?

All this does is overhype the delayed arcanas ptch. Valve are setting themselves up for disappointment. And the fact we didn’t have a battlepass this year doesn’t look good when content is delayed long and longer. Let’s see what frostivus looks like…

I don’t think dota 2 is dying, but the community is not happy and the ti assistance and prize Pool reflect it. Let’s say that with this new updates/patches compendiums are released, unless a % of the sales goes to the TI prize pool, I’m pretty sure the community will think that valve just wants money

the only problem i have is that it took them 3 weeks instead of 7~10 days to drop 7.34e. the changes are all small changes, nothing big, so why does it takes so long for us to get the ck / bara nerfs

If Valve always patch the game every month, People will COMPLAIN about the drastic change they did to the game and will overwhelm for new and comeback players.

If Valve update the game every other month or 2, People will still COMPLAIN that they’re not doing something to the meta and might still overwhelm new and comeback players a little bit.

If Valve won’t touch a game for long time people will COMPLAIN that Dota 2 is a dead game LOL is better, boycott the company.

So Valve trying to balance things out not for players who just currently playing the game but for people who wants to comeback and try new stuffs they missed and new players to enjoy learning the meta.

I also hate huge updates as I don’t have time to master and learn that much because of work. So for me personally this shouldn’t be a big deal.

Don’t you all remember a few months back when the behavior score system was messed up and we realized that 90-95% of r/DotA2 doesn’t even actively play DotA 2 and of the 5-10% that do actively play about 4-9% of those people are exclusively in turbo.

Gotta take opinion in r/DotA2 with a grain of salt.

Don’t worry OP, this happens all the time. I just hope guys at Valve are ignoring these morons.

There is not a single free to play game that receives this much love as DOTA 2 does.

Expecting a huge patch a couple weeks after TI in Seattle is insane.

Its an impossible toxic player base. Complain and complain and complain.

people crying are mostly low mmr players. The changes they did are very nice to be fair.

For example, bristleback they punished the collapse build of not maxing E so you do more damage, now you do less damage.

Spirit Breaker nerfed farming speed which was what made him broken, SB is not good if he have same farm as enemy offlaner. Now his timings will be delayed.

CK was strong because of his insane laning ability, you can’t harras him because he will hit next wave and get full hp again. Now we will see CK being crushed in lane and the hero won’t be op.

Dark Willow carry build is gone because now you have few seconds of invulnerability which makes her very killable.

Kunkka nerfs are enough to make him picked but not op as before. You can now fight in his torrent. His team is less tanky now because the rum is nerfed.

Muerta support is weaker and now pro players may not pick her because you can’t flex her to carry.

Treant which is a hero i played alot in this patch, i think the nerfs hurt him alot. What made the hero strong is his first 2 levels in lane which he dominated. It is a hero that wants slows and early boots to get kills in lane. That movespeed nerf means you can do less autoattacks now than before, and treant autoattacks are 100 damage. Movespeed nerf on treant is damage nerf too.

midas is nerfed buy it is not destroyed completely. Now you may not see it on supports because item like pavise is buffed so you have to make a decision.

IDK why the some people are crying, these are good nerfs and they will allow new picks in the next major.

This “balance” patch was so small, that they should not have announced it all.

Or they had to put in an extra line of text saying: Dont get too excited, we will just shift a few numbers. Because this patch is even smaller than the usual balancepatches.

Mostly BB and CK got “nerfed”. For Bara it’s only the farmspeed. And there is no winner of this patch. Not one single change that might get you excited to try something out.

There were so many matches during TI and this is the best “balance” they can come up with? It’s just underwhelming in my opinion.

I just wish when the new patch comes, they will fix the bots and ability draft ( mostly bots since i usually lurk in co-op bot matches )
