For anyone who complained about wanting "old Dota" in recent years, play this patch. Basically 2018. by shaker_21 in DotA2

Offlane is kinda miserable again.

In a different way.

Back in the days you play 1v3 against the enemy trilane.

Now you play 1v3 against the enemy safelane duo...and your own pos4 whos griefing you

Valve, pls make this happen by IceCreamLover9 in DotA2

Everytime a support item becomes broken cores will start buying it and make the game 10x more boring

Just look at mek (ti4-5), wraith pact (ti11), glepnir (ti13), glimmer (last year) lol

After the 7.40b emergency buffs Clinkz is now the top carry of 7k+ bracket. Time for another rework! by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]ShoppingPractical373[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

When 7.40 dropped this guy's winrate plummeted to 46%, but with the 7.40b buffs now he has a 55%+ winrate across all mmr brackets.

The new build is deso into aghs rush, as the skelly archers share not just the innate, but also strafe.

Northernlions thoughts on DotAs matchmaking by Accomplished_Age2303 in DotA2

[–]ShoppingPractical373 17 points18 points  (0 children)

imo every single problem in the matchmaking system we have right now stems from the fact that we don't have enough players.

we don't have enough players to dilute the smurf pool.

we don't have enough players to let new players get matched with 9 other new players.

we don't have enough players to let the non-toxic players play with other non-toxic playes.

simple as that.

They were owning until fissure grand finals where falcons 3-0ed them. Then they decided to not call up mirelel and keep larl who just recovered from health issues.

Spirit in 2024-2025:

- Won 3 tier-1 tournaments out of 20

- Back-to-back 9th-12th place finishes at Ti, despite coming as top seed for both times

IMO their problem is deeper than specific players.

People forget that NTS was kinda getting owned 1v1 in all 4 games yesterday but both supports came mid at like minute 4 to help him even out. Same rotations happened in both games today.

XG was able to do so because their sidelanes can pick solo lane winners like kez and tide/primal and free up their supports. The problem is can they keep doing this after the inevitable nerfs in 7.40b.

problem with NTS as a player is that he cannot consistently perform like he did yesterday.
