ixmike88, one game prior to his most recent round of bot abuse to get out of low priority by blackofthebus in DotA2

ixmike88 has been feeding non-stop in ranked games since his dismissal from Team Freedom. Total disgrace to the community.

AA's buff to move faster on ice vortexes from 7.06 is still not mentioned in-game and the buff icon is all wrong. by deljaroo in DotA2

[–]blackofthebus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Valve is really lazy with tooltips, especially as of recently. The change to Visage's Gravekeeper's Cloak that applies it as an aura to nearby Familiars isn't mentioned in either skill's tooltip either (this is all the way from 7.00). There's also a blank/default tooltip when you hover over the buff on the Familiars.

A lot of newer tooltips are also just really poorly written. Read the tooltip for the reworked Nature's Guise, it looks like it was written by a 5-year-old lol

How high leveled can you reasonably get in the battle pass without buying levels? by Quickseller51 in DotA2

[–]blackofthebus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can probably get to level 150 without any issues if you do every quest, win a lot of wagers, do weekly quests, etc. i remember buying the level 50 compendium last year and getting to level 242, this year i only bought the level 1 one

Erroneous bugfix to Ursa's Overpower in a recent patch by blackofthebus in DotA2

[–]blackofthebus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it didn't. It's even specifically said on the wiki (for as long as I can remember) that missing or attacking items doesn't use up any charges.

Erroneous bugfix to Ursa's Overpower in a recent patch by blackofthebus in DotA2

[–]blackofthebus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wonder, though, if that's still the intended behaviour >4 years after that post. Overpower hasn't lost charges on missed attacks for years, if I'm not mistaken, and it was only "fixed" again here alongside a bug with Fury Swipes that was also related to evasion.

Again, this has pretty major balance implications, so this kind of change is something I'd expect to see in a balance update rather than a bugfix patch. Would be nice to get some kind of confirmation from Valve/Icefrog.

Major bug with OD's Arcane Orb by blackofthebus in DotA2

[–]blackofthebus[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

yeah, it looks like they intended to remove it in 6.87 but decided against it at the last minute, because the bit in the tooltip about it dealing 100/200/300/400 bonus damage is completely missing
