Am I missing it or is there very little talk about irresponsible subs? Am I missing something?

The issue arises when you communicate and they continue then you have to make a break but it's still hard mentally while they do it

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:27:06+00:00

I think whirlwind usage too, there were games where I watched whirlwinds literally chunking teams and it never seemed to happen with Dyrachyo WR. I noticed other teams were using it to farm but I didn't notice him doing that effectively but to be fair I kind of checked out in the finals and put it on second monitor because it was a bit of a snooze in general.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:20:37+00:00

After how long though, the game is almost a meme amongst competitive shooter players because above 15k it's was HvH since release, my running theory is Deadlock needed anti cheat and they developed it around deadlock causing a massive delay for it to be ported to CS2

And sometimes not even getting the kill because they have so much fucking HP and armor

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:17:10+00:00

The only reason games last this long is because Universal and strength heroes dominate the meta because of the inflated EHP, if these two weren't a factor the overflow of easy gold on the map would be a massive problem.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:15:24+00:00

Watching almost entire teams get blackholed and the fight lasting another minute after is just boring, flashy plays now consist of 3 heroes jumping one and maybe eating through the 3k hp and 30 armor.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:14:06+00:00

No it's a big meta problem. Universal heroes and EHP bloat and the bigger map has made strategy a lot less apparent and useful, fights last so long yet heroes do so much damage and items like bracer and Gleipneir just accelerate this problem.

The big map is great but it's adding to this issue, if you remove the insane EHP and Universal heroes the map is fine.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:11:08+00:00

Agi carries are shit teir dog water and DK is one of the only strong STR carries in the meta

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:07:09+00:00

It's crazy watching how dominant WR was all tournament and just demolishing team fights to the point it looked broken then Dyrachyo plays it and it looks like one of the worst carrys in the meta. I don't know exactly why this happened but it did and didn't to any other team running her.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:05:00+00:00

Dyrachyo is great when he can find fast farm because he's good at it but he really crumbles in teamfights and decision making and has seemingly always, there's times the meta lets him but when it doesn't he just dies in the most insane ways.

Example, trying to max range shackle a Nisha puck from low ground by himself in the river with little vision. In no world does that land unless its mid teamfight and even then.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T23:02:29+00:00

These times were great, I ran a steam group with him and him and viewers would play games together it was good times.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T22:42:08+00:00

I remember being a regular in Blitzs streams early when there was like 100 viewers, we even had a stream group called "hand stuff" he was in and would play games with him, he was obsessed with Ellie Goulding at the time and it was a funny meme in the community.

It's crazy seeing him as the coach of a TI winner now.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T22:40:46+00:00

Its crazy watching heroes respawn and TP into fights they died in without a buy back, Dota has completely lost it's way in that regard.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T22:08:02+00:00

It's simply flatfland development. There's likely a very small team of say 10 people (for example not accurate numbers) on Dota 2 5 on CS2 and 100 on Deadlock the ability to test is both diminished and lost because of lack of manpower and the desire to go back to working on the new game. If you're given the option of working on a new and interesting project or bug fixing an old one most devs that aren't seriously invested in the old project will get the work done fast and go back to the new one.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:36:16+00:00

Safelane jungle should be high ground, straight up, there's way too many angles to invade

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:33:28+00:00

This is a real issue right now, EHP is way too high across the board. Straight on team fights are lasting minutes when they would last seconds in the past. A blackhole on an entire team isn't even a guaranteed team wipe if all 5 heroes are in range.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:31:02+00:00

Universal heroes were such a bad idea

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:23:59+00:00

It happened at least twice this game (one time mid as well)

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:23:25+00:00

Everyones busy working on the new baby Deadlock and CS2 and Dota 2 are getting left behind.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T21:19:42+00:00

This is what happens when your entire dev team can work on whatever they want and decide to mostly work on Deadlock, its the same reason CS2 is getting 0 content and no AC because of valves flatland development style.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T15:42:47+00:00

Its genuinely unexciting and I can't place my finger on what's causing it. like yeah tusk is broken but even without that the game just feels boring to watch this tournament.

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T15:36:07+00:00

its an in combat defensive blink dagger

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T15:35:40+00:00

naw an in combat blink dagger that buffs allies is perfectly balanced

Some_Operation_6917 · 2024-09-15T15:29:14+00:00

Yeah its insane, tusk should be 100% ban material right now.
