From 2014 to 2020 we had New Bloom, Diretide and Festivus each year
The way you write this makes it sound like we had 3 events per year, which is just not true.
According to your link we had:
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
OP, same as most people on r/dotamasterrace are (ex) LoL players
It’s mostly ex LoL players constantly posting and shitting about LoL, just like OP.
As a Dota player, I couldn’t care less about LoL. Used to be funny to shit on LoL like 5+ years ago, but in the meantime… I couldn’t care less about them. I am more worried about the influx of LoL players into the Dota 2 players if anything…
That’s why EU should have more slots 🤷
I mean yeah, he’s right
As you are german, you forgot the lategame part.
Randomly leave your team and get yourself killed solo out of position without buyback - GG
Here’s a guide to get more young players:
There you go.
I doubt the current playerbase (including me) would like that though.
They said there will be no battle pass. Why are you still expecting one?
Idk, when I search for all roles, I get Support or Offlane 90% of the time.
Would love to get mid though
If you can play Kunkka
Offlane: 9/10
Mid: 8/10
if you can’t play Kunkka
Offlane: 3/10
Mid: 4/10
Broodmother I guess: https://i.imgur.com/CTFAiNc.png
But I really don’t like playing her (any more), because I always have to complain at my team for 30 minutes and tell them 37 times that they should stay out of my lane and focus on the other 2 lanes. I mean maybe I play Broodmother “wrong” and that’s why my team doesn’t understand what I want from them, but the winrate speaks for itself (in my low mmr bracket though)
This is the weakest Team Secret roster ever.
The “strongest” Team Secret roster ever performed the worst btw
What do you mean abandon?
Last time I checked my guild is up and running and most members are very active and do the challenges
Go to sleep during work at 12:00 to wake up at 19:00?
That’s because it isn’t overtaking CSGO.
Currently, worldwide the top 5 are Steam Deck, Apex Legends, Lethal Company, Counter Strike 2, Red Dead Redemption 2.
Dota 2 is on place 30.
What’s that even supposed to mean? On par in what?
Viewer numbers? I haven’t checked, but I would be highly surprised if Worlds doesn’t have at least double the viewer numbers.
Quality wise? I wouldn’t know, I never watched Worlds and probably never will.
All I know is TI23 was extremely high quality in production value, compared to basically all the previous TIs.
Not sure who said that they don’t care about cosmetics at all. Most of us just care about the game/gameplay more than skins.
And besides, why should I go back to a 20 year old game when I can just play Dota 2, which is getting more gameplay updates than new skins currently, which is exactly what I want? Your argument doesn’t make any sense.
Except you clearly do, as you can see with this post.
I would actually argue, that if I value gameplay above skins, that I enjoy and aim for higher standards than you, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
Obviously, and the game is still free. Every penny you decide to spend on this game is completely optional. If you think the game doesn’t deserve your money any more, then don’t spend it on the game.
Sincerely, a Dota+ subscriber, who bought every battle pass since 2014 and this year, for the first time, even got the Aegis Replica.
The game is free
