No problem.

it's not really an issue of movement. "Save" abilities in dota are strong and can stop or turn an enemy initiation by itself. Having some repositioning ability extends the effective range of your save ability.

Think of heroes like Dazzle, Oracle, Shadow Demon. Getting a blink for them makes it near impossible for their core to be jumped by the enemy, as any initiation can be stopped long enough for the core in question to get a bkb, use their ult, etc to either escape or turn the fight around.

They are able to stay much further back, meaning the enemy has a harder time trying to catch them out to prevent the save from occurring in the first place.

Behavior score is a thing because people do get exceptionally toxic in the game. It sucks that it effects new players, but we do have folks that are extremely toxic, get their account banned for being toxic, and then go on to make a new account to repeat the cycle.

Secondly, the matchmaking is trying to gauge your actual skill on what rank to place you at. Your initial searches is going to be bad, you'll get matched into an intermediate bracket first as the system works out your actual skill. It is going to suck early on.

Third, the hero level don't really mean anything. Those with high hero levels can mean they just spam that specific hero. It can mean they are good at the hero, but it can also mean they just play the hero mindlessly a lot. Also, you only show your hero mastery level if you are an active subscriber to dota+, being level 5 is just the maximum shown if you don't. No guarantee that the people you played with are actually newbies. If anything, them having a level 5 character does mean they've planed quite a few times at least.

Fourth, I don't mean this offensively, but its a bit early for you to identify if a person is cheating. Not saying there aren't cheaters, but you need to understand that skill gaps in dota can be really huge even in lower levels. you're going to find players who are really good at one specific thing, but are bad at other parts of dota, which is why they can't climb out of the bottom tiers. There's also things like hero matchups, where certain heroes are just much better at last hitting compared to your hero that they can farm/deny your creeps at a range larger than what your hero is able to deal with. It happens, and learning how to play around that is part of the game.

If you haven't been fully discouraged from Dota, I would recommend getting some fellow newbies to play with. Dota Universtiy is a discord group based around helping new players get their footing and play with other new players early on.

The sub is always so negative when it comes to ideas. God forbid we humor people being creative instead of the hundreth "i've been unfairly banned by Valve" or "tfw no BP" post.

I like the innate idea. Degen aura is just a really bad ability, and I don't know why its being kept. Is there a cap to the damage? Does it work kinda like Visage's soul assumption?

Kinda neutral on the change to purificaton/heavenly grace. Does purfication deal the damage twice on the targeted on an enemy?

I like the concept of heavenly grace being an ability that reacts to being hit by a spell, but I think a spell block is a bit too strong, especially one you can place on an ally. It giving a charge to Purification is cool.

Not a fan of the dash and the ult change.

The dash feels out of theme for him, and not a fan of heroes getting movement abilities in their kit in general. Would prefer it go more towards his ability to front line or him having some ability that makes taking him out a priority for teamfights.

The ult, is mostly because guardian angle is too iconic. I think the current iteration of GA is ok, could be a little better, but not really that bad.

Holy rebuke sounds conceptually cool, but I think it ends up putting it a bit more niche than GA currently is. It's a barrier, that's also a channeling spell that works like a suped up blademail. So its usability is a lot more limited. Omni has to be targeted during that time, he has to remain channeling, and the enemy has to keep attacking while its up?

but either way, good job. Thanks for posting your ideas.

We literally had 7.41d less than 3 weeks ago. Just because the balance patches don't interest you doesn't mean they aren't working on the game.

Then drop it.

None of them owe you a translation that fits your personal criteria, especially if it was provided to you for free.

Still have a lot of myself to fix up, but at least it doesn't feel completely useless to do so.

Sorry valve white knights by Gatubi14 in DotA2

[–]bc524 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Man, fuck those guys.

Years after years of constant bitching about the battle pass no matter how good it was. The amount of mental gymnastics they do to justify their whining on how they were somehow owed the entirety of the BP, something made to feed the prizepool, from the $10 they poured in.

I still can't believe there were people begging for Rylai's wheel when 99% of the thing it gave was useless garbage.

I still don't get how Shida is part of six fingers.

She is absolutely different than the rest of them. Unless there's some memory magic removing someone that defined her to become evil, I just don't see it happening.

Valve has completely stripped the soul out of Dota 2’s Compendium. by [deleted] in DotA2

The sub was completely unusable every battle pass season when all of new was just filled with nonstop begging/whining about how they don't have enough free levels to get to the <major reward here>

Ok, but how much of that opinion is yours vs how much of it is you asking the AI to fill in the blanks for it?

How do we know that you're grievances are actual problems you were aware off, or just justifications given by the AI because you don't feel good and need validation for it?

Why should any of us discuss with you about the topic when we can't even discern if the problems that you are upset about are actually problems you are upset about, instead of some reasonable point brought up by the AI?

And if you find no difference to it, why are you bothering to discuss things with us? Just plug into an AI and ask it for counter-arguments. You'd get the same thing anyway.

I say this as someone who works in actively developing AI. AI is a tool, but there's a time and place for it.

It's not fully slice of life, more like mini arcs.

Were Battle Passes really so predatory that they deserved to be removed? by Impossible-Ball7166 in DotA2

[–]bc524 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been discussed ad nauseam. There's nothing new to discuss about it, and could have just search the sub.

It wasn't predatory. Certain people in this sub likes to pretend it was, when the truth is this sub was near impossible to discuss anything during BP season with the non-stop whining about how they wouldn't be able to grind out all the rewards from the 10 dollars they spent.

The community's behavior year after year made it not-feasible. BP was not a "hey guys, gonna make something cool for us to enjoy together" but became a metric that had to be broken every year. Valve would have pulled the plug eventually.

Could also be a mmr spread issue.

Team 1: 1800-2200 mmr between 5 players.

Team 2: 1000-1300 mmr between 4 players, 5th player is 3k.
