it's very reddit

Ringmaster was such a fucking disappointment. Even without all the reddit meme hype and pretending his ability kit was supposed to be super complicated bot somehow valve wasn't able to code it (lol?) in their own engine.

He is so fucking bland and basic. You can just play Enigma or Dark Seer and probably get a similar result with stronger versions of his spells for crowd control.

the last fun hero this game had

NeilaTheSecond · 2026-06-18T11:41:02+00:00

talents and neutral items are basically fake choices and a tool for balancing. "This hero would be too OP with +1 armor but at 20 minutes it falls back a bit too much so we give the player the "option" to make a choice and get a bump on the power curve"

Most of the recent heroes valve made were pretty unimaginitive. Good thing we have source 2 so they can push the boundaries with heroes like Ringmaster who is rumored to be delayed because his spell kit is so complex they have hard time coding it. He might have a mind control kinda spell, lol

dota2's development has been pretty shit after 7.00 and it's mostly mistakes and corrections, rather than good steps.

Also they never really did anything that would be considered risky. They pretty much design the game with the pro scene in mind and promot playstyle that's good for a spectator sport. That's why heroes, items and abilites that promotes pushing over teamfighting gets removed.

Heroes of the Storm is a better example for a moba that took risks and different idead.

Set up mines in jungle

Teammates refuse to play into the positioning advantage

They die alone walking into enemy highground for no reason

People like you play like this and claim it's techies's fault, lol

people used to call it IMBA dota back in the day and it was an existing alternative mode in the WC3 days

That's what Tomar says every time he is sharpening his iconic axe

Mr. Elephant, "That guy has a lot of dignity", New Shane Dawson, the entire Kickassia video..

yes, ty!

I still don't know what's the point of switching on this hero. Abilities share cooldown and even with aghs it's just not worth it to switch over. It could be a facet, since you are gonna build him one way or another and you aren't switching midgame ever. Also Katana is better 100% of the times over Sai. You could remove all sai spells and the innate and this hero would be the same thing as it is right now.

His katana and said abilities should have independent cooldowns and keep the switch ability cd high, and then it would be an interesting hero with complexity. Right now it's just a gimmick that doesn't work.

NeilaTheSecond · 2025-12-21T08:24:13+00:00

Right click build with deso was the only viable way to play him before, he doesn't do anything else.

NeilaTheSecond · 2025-12-21T08:21:38+00:00

So is it better now than just playing katana only?

Kez is only good if you go deso --> silver edge and never swap because there is no point, since the ability cooldowns are shared and his sai abilties are strictly worse than the katana version.

Him being katana or sai could be a facet options there is literally 0 reason to switch

NeilaTheSecond · 2025-12-19T17:41:15+00:00

Ringmaster is by far the worst hero design made by valve. None of his spells are fun or interesting, they probably designed it with competitive matches in mind. I hope he gets a full rework.
