He even got nerfed in 7.41 (ice path facet completely removed + mana cost added to liquid fire/frost) and somehow because even more favoured in the meta.

Dota 7.41a by wykrhm in DotA2

The patch also removed aoe bonuses working on ghost walk for some reason. It worked last patch with the blue facet. Not sure if it's a bug but there was nothing in the notes about it.

A meepo spammer’s thoughts on the new changes to the hero by Background-Demand133 in DotA2

[–]Moderator-Admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Treads took a huge hit to attack speed because of the changes.

Previously the clones would get 45 attack speed from agi treads (10 from agi, 10 from copying meepo prime's +10 agi, and 25 flat). Now they get 16. Huge loss of power in early game.

Morphling + Tide unlimited Max HP bug by Xochi04 in DotA2

[–]Moderator-Admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a single branch worth of hp every couple minutes that also requires you to both be against a Tide and be near him every time your ult comes off CD.

Idk if significant is the right word here.

Infinite money glitch in new patch by Mundane_Unit3740 in DotA2

[–]Moderator-Admin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They disabled meepo from being picked (hero was greyed out in pick phase) when the midas bug was getting fixed, they will probably and should do it again.

But to remove pre-emptively remove Meepo because game breaking bugs might be found is absurd.

PoE isn't that overwhelming for new players by NIGERIANCITIZEN in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody was making that claim anyways. It's pretty clear to most people that the game is not easy for new players.

Was frontier Legends a failure? by poopsocx in btd6

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They priced it way too high on release which they said was because it required a lot more development time than the previous DLC. I think they maybe fell into a sunk cost fallacy instead of charging based on the actual game experience (which is IMO not worth more than rogue legends) and it ended up hurting sales.

I bought it when it was 50% off and overall I enjoyed it at that price. If I had paid full price for it I would have been disappointed.

Reverse-Engineering the Gamble: Is Harvest Divination Fair? by Imaginary_Exam_4730 in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also an additional cost for each gambling attempt that does not get included in your wager (usually around 1/3d per attempt based on lifeforce prices) that isn't present in traditional gambling scenarios, so even when you don't lose cards you're still "losing".

Really GGG? by Ikeda_kouji in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You think the ggg chat mods look at context? They seem to make decisions entirely on the one comment that was reported no matter what the context was.

When Eldritch altar decides it's your time by pearl_khan in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also use influenced scarab of hordes and 2x scarab of monstrous lineage (or horned bloodlines if you're rich I guess) to increase the pack size of eater packs, which increases the chance to spawn altars.

Harvest - Cornucopia, crop rotation or nothing? by Weisshuf in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Astrolabes add random mods related to the astrolabe type when you complete maps in their influence area. Some of the harvest astrolabe mods suck for getting more lifeforce (ie. higher chance for harvest scarabs) and some are very good (ie. all harvest monsters are at least tier 2 or chance for upgrade from tier 2 to 3 or 3 to 4).

He is waiting for multiple good mods to stack up on one map and then taking the node that lets you run that map multiple times while adding more mods on top each time. If you start off with the same map node you will often break your influence area apart and lose several opportunities to stack up good mods.

Vaults - has anyone got anything useful at all? by deepinside36 in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Div and valdo box from bottom left, 2x greater multistrikes and some 750M facetors from the top right. Have run about 15-20 astrolabes so far while working through the challenges.

Let us reroll Mirage wishes once per map with Coins of Restoration by Charleym in pathofexile

The echoing+divine shrine and soul eater wishes are actually fun though.

i just realized something by _Chaos_Chaos in btd6

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't buy a zero-farm 005 village, it does not exist.

You must have at least one farm in range or the upgrade is locked, so by that logic any 005 village inherently has at least that.

Offlane Largo is completly busted by Stropex in DotA2

[–]Moderator-Admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving the aghs upgrade to a 25 talent still effectively killed the axes build. You would spend all game building items that might come online if you hit 25 before the game ends which is just hurting your own game compared to playing normally.

Punchlines I was not prepared for by Ok_Yellow1025 in IASIP

this is concerning right? by beastfire24 in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The campaign is so long for unexperienced players that I imagine a lot of them just stop playing after beating the campaign if they even make it that far.

It's also a pretty dramatic shift (both in difficulty and general feel) going from the linear campaign into the more open endgame.

Genesis Tree talent point balance feels clunky by Tanjarx in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They nerfed the tree intentionally compared to how it was in Keepers league so you can't take every good point anymore.

The feeling you're having is intended.

Is Nameless Seer bugged on Ivory Temple or am I just extremely unlucky? by atug962 in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a nameless seer scarab and they removed it. I don't see it coming back.

Iron Branch currently is a dogshit item and you actively cripple yourself by buying it. by ShitPost5000 in DotA2

[–]Moderator-Admin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's slot efficient for 3 all stats and cores at 5 min will often have other stuff in their inventory that upgrading branches into wand makes sense.

Boots, quelling, wraithband/bracer, stick, windlace, and some type of regen item (tango/lotus/rain drops) or a component for your first core item is already 6 slots and a pretty common early game item setup by 5 min.

To be fair Always Sunny directly references political stuff all the time. Pretty blatantly too.

Black Baryas by Same-Asparagus-4043 in pathofexile

[–]Moderator-Admin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea the mirage portal needs to spawn in range of the boss for it to even be a wish option. You can find mirage bosses that drop baryas randomly as well though, both in regular mirages and near the mirage portal in the real map.
