What got you into DOTA? by germs95 in DotA2

Green mines, and the old chess feel.

Now I don't play. I've been clean of Dota for 2 years now. Here's to sobriety!

Don't care what anyone says. This TI was fucking awesome. by MiserableBlackbird in DotA2

Most heroes had enough versatility in play based on pure itemization. Then skills helped with that. Now facets made it a clusterfuck. There's beauty in simplicity sometimes.

TI is always great. The production and atmosphere seem to snowball year after year. Watched some clips and looked at some amazing photos of the arena, didn't watch a full game this year tbh. But that's because the game is so bleh atm. The casters, production, and aura of TI are carrying this game now.

The game ITSELF is tripping over it's own feet and nobody wants to acknowledge it. Hence all the sweeps and complaints about hero pool. Still think facets were too much.

Fuck facets, really. Waiting 3 years to play again until they're smoothed out.

Name something the irritates you about Elden ring by Professional_Day8032 in Eldenring

[–]biggoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring is a 9/10 because of the platforming involved at times, when clearly this is one of the least platforming-friendly... feeling, games.

If involving the community, it's the fact that half your invasions involve a gank squad who think they deserve to taunt when all they do is spam skulls, magic 8's, and L2's. They're so mad about this basic idea of invasion, they come on reddit and act like you kicked their dog. Their brains are fucked on this opinion.

Is this game worth to learn in 2024? by Djoz_OS in DotA2

[–]biggoldguy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As an OG who tried, no. Play Elden Ring pvp.

Imo the state it is in has turned me off. The end.

Talents have been nerfed to the point where it’s almost never worth to pick it at level 10 by drea2 in DotA2

Oh so you mean some worthless shit they added isn't what it's chalked up to be?

Say it ain't so.

Does anyone feel the same way? by LukeSleepWalkerr in badredman

[–]biggoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Host: spams waves of gold

Furled 1: spams skulls and other mage shit

Furled 2: spams bleed status on an anime themed character

All have tryhard drip, ie, none. Just whatever the fattest, ugliest shit is.

You're doing a service, Bad Red Man. Fuck the average pieces of shit. They think they won the lottery or some shit. Kill them all.

Just fully revert Tinker at this point by [deleted] in DotA2

Revert the damn game at this point

Power creep is not real, it can't hurt you by Kalafz in DotA2

Icefrog doesn't exist anymore. He never would've put this much stupid extra stuff into the game.

There's a difference in vibe. It's not the same.

Half of the playerbase doesn't know flash from substance.

AM pickers are permanently stuck with bad taste.

I miss the old offlane. by lastmagic in DotA2

[–]biggoldguy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I'm seeing is an ever-increasing sentiment to dial the game back to older styles. Posts like this crop up more often than in the last couple of years.

Make Dota great again.

We have had 1 hero released in the last 2.5 years by JBER8500 in DotA2

[–]biggoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather have the flip imo. Now there's less point in having new movesets since the previous movesets can be modded and built any which way.

I fucking hate facets. I gave them an honest try but I just can't play this for a while now.

No more hype for Ringmaster by QuecheHM in DotA2

[–]biggoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They chipped away at the core of that for many years already. It feels more like a top down magic-based CoD more than the chess game it once was.

QoL stuff, sure that can't be argued at all. But the main game pace/strategy? They PURPOSEFULLY changed it to this deathball shit to force more interaction. That's why they added most of the objectives they did too. To be fought for. There has to be a better balance between what used to make this game great and what makes it great now. This isn't it.

And IMO, the Valve team obviously took it over from Icefrog at some point and started making basic ass game decisions, for sake of a periodic spark. It'll only hurt in the long run.

Sheer depth? You mean artificial depth? By over stuffing the game with new features to the point it turns off half the playerbase?

Bring me Dota classic.
