You can't make this shit up, dotards.
does anybody have the other 6.87 posters?
gotta add them to the collection now that 6.88 is out
>>145354207
The TANKS, 'mememids' are so fucking bad in comparison to the other stuff in that
Looks like I'll be one of those EG posters again.
>>145354258
not at all actually, you couldn't be more wrong
>>145354207
memeback was honestly great, buying phase mom into sny into skadi every hero
And so the plan is set in motion. See you guys in the TI grandfinals.

too bad it doesn't have any text that would say that in any of the posters.

so this is gonna be the main TI patch?

>>145354189
No because sun ray is still an incredible skill that scales amazingly into late game
why did Riki get nerfed
this is a valve made patch isn't it
too scared to nerf hard enough, nerfing irrelevant heroes and buffing everyone with very small numbers, these numbers all seem to be reverts to some extent too

this is the dumbest sequence of nonevent number changes i've seen in a while
the only change anyone will notice is winter wyvern's ult cd, because she'll shit out more ults that nobody does any damage with
I dare anyone to ask in game what this patch changed in a month's time
>>145355216
until you realize that the Dota 2 community is full of morons who you'd rather not communicate with.

Well I've never done this kind of shit before, but I'll see what I can do.

How would you make Sniper viable again?
At the very least Shrapnel should stack imo
>>145355350

>>145355553
Hello RTZ
>>145355412
he's viable to an extent
you have to pick him in the right lineup, he can't handle anyone who can get up in his shit really quickly like spirit breaker

NAdotards are delusional
Even reddit agreed they would need to go through open qualifiers from the first moment. I don't know why you blame reddit when they showed more brains here than half of d2g.
>>145353581
It's probably better that they go through the qualifiers anyway given that fact they often complain on not scrimming enough and are often out of practice.
>>145355780
why is rtz's name in the snow
What the fuck already 6.88
For what reason is it early which balance change justify this shit
>>145355916
Because Manila draft revolved around four fucking heroes and was horrible to watch
>>145355932

>>145355975
Yeah bro epic to see top teams variety and skill reduced to picking and banning four fucking heroes and drafts centered around those heroes
Christ.
Bye d2g, it was fun
>>145356016
every other hero got buffs though so they're likely to be picked a bit less

>>145356320
but now you can just set one point in it early and not be at 4 armor 22% magic resist
you have like 6/30% now and putting a second point into it is actually a decent idea now too, since it scales linearly instead of like 1/1/2/1 and 3/3/9/6 or something
>>145356332
fool Aui once, shame on ppd

>>145356332

>meepo
>ogre
>pa
>pudge
>shadow shaman
>sniper
>troll
>warlock
>hurricane pike
and nerfs
>lifestealer
>riki
>slark
Does any of this change anything? Do any of them become relevant (or less relevant)?imo Enigma might be picked slightly more, PA is actually ok now
>>145354438
It's impossible to name such a patch because it clearly doesn't exist.
6.83 was the worst patch in Dota history because the OP heroes for that patch were all completely braindead, in the sense that at literally any tier of matchmaking someone playing Sniper/Troll was going to get out of hand regardless of how awful they were.
I remember watching many streams of pros losing to 4k mmr snipers and trolls. Absolutely disgusting.
>>145356332
rofl he even got "compensation" aka fat stacks of cash just for being kicked. he'll be fine
>>145356332
>>some dudes life is ruined
He has no one to blame but himself. He isn't getting kicked for no reason.
>>145356387
>>145343226
Rine starts here
>>145356381
can't get fooled again
>>145356389
meepo's is another "it's literally nothing" change
nobody skills geostrike before 6 and nobody maxes it before 13
Visage's buffs are pretty huge and relevant but still not enough to bring that lad back into the meta
Riki's and Slark's changes are minor, riki can just buy a clarity and be good since he maxes smoke screen early now anyways and Slark's damage change is tiny, don't think it takes either of them out of the meta
LS's is huge though, might mean something for him
>>145356496
Thanks anon
>>145356332
maybe he shouldn't have been so fucking garbage
and i say this as someone who initially believed he was going to be a good carry (mfw fell for the he was good in dignitas meme").
He was literally worse than Bulba
>>145354438
>Name a worse patch than Troll/Sniper one.
OD+Invo patch was legit the worst patch I've played it in the history of Dota 2 (played since the beta).
That patch actually got me to stop playing Dota 2.
>>145356380
>>145356320
>>145356170
the problem isnt his magic resist
the problem is that his birds are pure dogshit
like someone literally explain why htey are affected by axe call and hit by axe spin???????
visage will NEVER be viable in a meta where axe is
>>145356332
If you sleep with dogs don't be surprised if you wake up with fleas.
Aui had the choice of sticking it out with his B tier team but his ego got the better of him and he thought he could make it as a fucking POSITION 1 CARRY IN EG
Turns out, as pretty much anyone could've told you ahead of time, that didn't work out, so now he got what's coming to him and he's back in the fucking dumpster.
>>145356521
>Visage's buffs are pretty huge and relevant but still not enough to bring that lad back into the meta
It's honestly not that big. The reason Visage isn't picked isn't because of that +2 total armor early game (since that's when the buff will be most relevant).
Lifestealer
* Base attack time increased from 1.7 to 1.85
bravo
>>145356575
I stopped playing sometime during last September. This game was just infuriatingly hard to play without friends and I don't have any friends.

Who /hoping EG get knocked out in the qualifiers/ here
hey d2g, i fucking suck at teamfighting, i can be a 6 slotted carry ahead of everyone else and still die for nothing. what are some heroes i can play that will force me to learn
also ive never gotten a rampage, which heroes are best for that kind of thing
>>145356867
Right here, same with secret.
>>145356867
From MMR assassins to TI assassins
>>145356902
yeah we know, aui
>>145356332
>ditched out of DC immediately when he had the chance to join EG
>"waahh guys why am i kicked again?"
I'm surprised if any tier1 team ever picks this guy up again
>>145356902
meepo
you get 6 slotted so fast you can take over the game and 1v5 if you have some meatbags to tank disables for you but if you get punished early or die for nothing, you lose the game outright
he's a fucking rampage machine too
he also helps you learn micro
>>145356902
Watch replays of games you feel you dropped the ball at and figure out what you did wrong. You probably focus the wrong targets and don't use your skills in an efficient manner, or maybe you get kited, or maybe you lose track of where your hero is. I have those issues. Figure out what you're doing wrong and work to fix it.
tfw no gd studio TI hub ;_;
>>145356389
>>clock
Still irrelevant, but it's easier to run up and cog now.
>>enigma
Actually pretty solid dmg buff, but it wasn't really needed. Makes stuff like cloaks, pipes, bkb, magic resist heroes like AM/Huskar/etc and so on less effective vs him.
>>pa
Finally. She is now relevant, but not good. Might get picked every now and then in competitive.
>>shadow shaman
Bigger buff than most people think. The splash is now pretty significant. Don't think he will get picked over Lion though.
>>sniper
Better teamfight. You're pretty stupid if you don't max Shrapnel first now.
>>troll
Only real relevant part is the +3 armor and it's not enough.
>>hurricane pike
Still shit on anyone but Silencer and OD.
>>lifestealer
Pretty big nerf. Will definately be picked less.
>>145356902
>teamfight
Your best bet is carry CM
>>145356917
What about ppd?
Jesus this game is hard these days
>>145357131
It's OK, he's willing to tank a TI loss in order to gauge the strength of his enemies. It's a small price to pay for the creation of the NADota Empire.
>>145357147
Maybe you've just gotten better and as such are matched against better enemies
>>145356843

EG fangay since DAC here (ikr? h-haha us oldfags).
Really looking forward to seeing EG and Secret get eliminated in one of the first rounds of open qualifers.
Theres a 50% chance that both teams will face eachother in an earlier round and maybe an even higher chance that both will need to go through the 2nd qualifier.
Serves those backstabbing cocksuckers right. RTZ for being an egomaniac child, seriously lost all respect for this dumb cunt and his buttbuddy rEEtard.
Fuck Universe for thinking he brings any value to a team on his own. Imagine Uni not leaving EG - they would have still had the TI5 lineup now, could put Fear on carry since AUI is a fucking turd on carry or swap in Zai the sub. Universe destroyed EGs chances at the direct invite.
Fuck ppd for his shitty lackluster drafts and for not carefully planning roster decisions with enough foresight to not get fucked right before the most important tournament. And fuck this guy for accepting Bulba of all people in the team.
Is there a non-degenerate d2g discord?
>>145357578
the resemblance
>>145357586
And it's not even over, they have to beat some pretty tough teams in the qualifiers after that. These two teams really underestimated the worth of a invite slot
>the patch so tiny it won't change anything apart from maybe naix getting picked slightly less
Wow great job Valve. I'm gonna love watching all the same heroes getting picked constantly like at Manila.
>>145357586

Why did EG kick Aui and put Fear back on carry when Fear himself acknowledged Aui played it better? Isn't the right move to put Fear on coach and Aui on carry again?

>>145357878
Fireblast is his worst skill.
Fireblast is in fact the real reason why Ogre is unpicked yet Icefraud doesn't realize that his overnerfing of the skill made the hero irrelevant.
>>145358164
After they get bodied in TI6 open qualifiers.
He surely already realized that it's his last chance because nobody will ever let him in their team again.
How hard did they dumpster my boy lifestealer?
im afraid to play him after he got the doom treatment.

I know, the damage is so piss poor I don't even feel good when I level it up, but the other problem is cast range and how bad it is. I can barely stun someone in teamfights especially if they have slows, he should at least return an old cast range but can make it scale with ult so it wont be abusable early with ignite's range, and improve bloodlust ms just by a bit.

fuck off with your hipster FOTM social media dickpic swap app bullshit

S&Y was shit since the nerf, plus there are always better options
it should never be bought in any pro matches

the only thing that was nerfed are the shitstains that camp in lane and max the aura

its only th BAT, why are people always so anal about those micro changes
>>145358119
Why would TA want a force staff or pike?
Only the lance itself is ok since you can disassemble it into bkb and butterfly later.
>>145357586
>there will never be a machine to murder all DAC-TI5 NAshit babbies.
Literally the dark age of dota, the middle ages. Good to know we are living the renaissance now. Things will only get better from now on.
>>145358269
No, he still attacks stupid fast with rage and armlet. It's only significant to all of the retarded jungler lifestealers. Based chillytoad.
@145358486
DONT RESPOND TO THIS MAN
I REPEAT DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MAN
>>145358269
>Does 0.15 increase in BAT really a big of nerf?
He has almost SB and Treant BAT, which is infamously terrible.
>>145358496
>Why would TA want a force staff or pike?
To get in and out after securing a kill? Don't pretend it's not useful. You can easily rape almost anyone with Hurricane Pike + Deso, you can drop a trap for vision and get 5 attacks in including Meld without commiting to an engagement and putting yourself in danger.
>>145358496
>Disassemble into butterfly
What
Is Storm Spirit good now?
>>145358624
Yes, they want to make sure EG are relevant again and can go through the qualifiers.
>>145358414
>>Manila literally had something like 90% of all heroes picked
So why were the same heroes picked over and over again?
Do you think that because Pudge getting picked once by some shitter team that stops the patch from being massively dominated by the exact same heroes over and over again?
>>145358624
No, his ulti was overnefed before and hasn't been fixed and it is still a huge problem to success on the hero.

hello?
Hello guys. I haven't played dota since release of 6.87 and i haven't watched any pro games.
Can anyone of you give me a quick run down on meta for 6.87 and must watch games from manila?
Also was there any new dank memes created during major?
>>145358591
>To get in and out after securing a kill?
So why wouldn't you get it on all ranged heroes then? I mean mobility is great, right!?
No idiot. Pike is still shit because you pay almost 2500 gold for 5 more agi and irrelevant Int and hp/s, which is shit a carry doesn't want.
>>145358607
Oh shit, I forgot they changed it so you can no longer even do that. That makes the pickup even worse.
>that slark nerf
literally dumpstered

Average pickrate of heroes was extremely low no matter cheese strats.
Dum retard
>>145358809
>So why wouldn't you get it on all ranged heroes then?
It's actually great on Drow. It's good on all (all two) ranged damage dealing heroes.
>>145358873
ok
>Visage already at 60%+ winrate in 5k (and 2-3k lmao)
>buff him more
>Troll gets not just one, not even two but three more armor
>>145358887
>make retarded posts
>call others retards
>>145358898
It's only good on Sniper and Drow because Sniper implodes when someone gets in his face and Drow loses her Agi. That's literally the only reason to get that item, for the pushback. The actual stats themselves are terrible because you're trying to integrate a Force Staff in a carries build.
>>145358963
And TA isn't squishy at all, right?
>>145358954
>still won't get picked
>>145358486

in other words, a lying two-faced piece of shit.

>>145358773
Why did they dumpster storm so hard anyway? Memestacks were the real reason why sf and storm were so good
>>145359285
Because no hero should have that much initiation range alongside that much damage after he hits level 6
>>145359285
Did you see any of the games where EG dominated with Storm?
That was some top tier bullshit come late-ultralategame
>>145358804
please respond
>They Fell For The Honeypot Roster
>patch the day after the major
It wasn't a "honeypot". EG and Secret are just shit.
>decrease stats on dragon lance
Why does icefraud hate meepo so much
>lmao let's buff every hero
Power creep is real
And it looks like LC is the new cancer
>he actually paid valve money for dota 2
>he buys treasures and compendiums
>he still plays dota
>>145359528
>LC is the new cancer
>new
Consider the following:
Ember Spirit Aghaims - > Remnants now have infinite duration.
>>145359497
Patch changes are incredibly minor so most strats are unchanged
Plus you reveal your dunning krugerness by thinking the law of the honeypot merely refers to patch strats and not overall power level and team play strategy as well
>>145359130
ppd's boybussi
>>145359528
Good
More retards on the enemy team will pick jungle LC and lose hard when you counter them in a multitude of ways
>>145359663
Not even remotely worth it, you will almost never need to have a remnant up for long.
>>145359704
and how exactly do you counter pub LC jungler lmao
>>145359789
ward their jungle
>>145359663
Alright i've considered itIts shit
>>145359770
>>145359815
What if it decreased cooldown as well so that you could just place a few remnants EVERYWHERE and then just click a button and collect all the gold.
>>145359789
BH/Riki and pester them in their jungle
Steal farm, sap XP, rotate and fuck their lanes up once in awhile to spice things up
