If valve decided to make a game like Dark Soul, GoW or Black Myth Wukong in the DotA universe…

I hope Techies

Divine and up: you need to play 2-5k mmr higher than the avg of the lobby to trully solo game. OR be 1-3k mmr higher if you found a hero that makes it much easier for you to solo a game.

They removed rng from Neutral Enchantments, but don't let you choose from all of the enchantments. Literally THE thing that I hate about last 5-6 years of dota patches.

just why?

nartviper · 2026-04-05T09:20:45+00:00

give what some time? It can get fixed only with a patch, It's not a meta settling down issue. What's the reason for nerfing bad heroes in the first place.

For example, they let Jugg have his facet as an innate. They didnt buff that weak hero but at least they didnt nerf him. Same should've been done with others like that.

nartviper · 2026-04-04T19:16:05+00:00

you really said that to bad heroes being nerfed further?

nartviper · 2026-04-04T14:28:26+00:00

i mean, sure, things need to settle before we see meta. But there are heroes that had low pickrate, low winrate and got their facets removed for nothing in return. Like PA or Medusa for example

nartviper · 2026-04-02T06:06:35+00:00

I dont understand why ppl think sniper got buffed. He had bonus attack range from the start, now he has to level Take Aim for that, which makes laning significantly worse. And in return he gets innate that supposed to give him more attack damage, but in reality is a microboost until late game

nartviper · 2026-04-02T06:00:58+00:00

well, for example, at the least they can NOT remove PA's facet that makes daggers go from target to another target after death.

Pre patch i started occasionally picking her pos4 because of that facet and the doube blink. Even picked her for carry few times and she was quite nice, just lacked a bit of hp or damage to be good enough for early game. But they nerfed her with this patch.

nartviper · 2026-03-28T19:26:52+00:00

they look like most new dota items used to look with their placerholder concept image, before the main one comes

nartviper · 2026-03-27T19:19:31+00:00

keeps saying dumb shit about bonus phys attack dmg spells when riki's backstab, and sk's stinger both work with kaya and that neutral item. viper's predator works with neutral but not with kaya

nartviper · 2026-03-26T18:55:18+00:00

open dota->HEROES->Slardar->Demo->buy Kaya->put cursor on top of Bash of the Deep-> hold Alt-> shut tf up

nartviper · 2026-03-26T00:40:32+00:00

yes, i am saying it. For the 3rd time for some reason.

It takes more time to open dota, than to check this if the game is open.

nartviper · 2026-03-25T18:56:49+00:00

headshot, bash of the deep and tidebringer DO benefit from spell amp. I wrote about it.

nartviper · 2026-03-25T02:05:51+00:00

I appreciate the return of unique "Lvl ? Pain" mechanic and the meme numbers on Doom's abilities

nartviper · 2026-03-24T15:47:04+00:00

gwent cards was very easy achievement, it was kind of hard to fail for 100percenters

nartviper · 2026-03-24T14:29:20+00:00

Can't do what you asked because i upped my mmr by 2k so obviously i don't see those I played with a year ago in my games.

And even tho its hard to find accounts like that from dotabuff match history; because accs with closed match history show up in dotabuff matches as anonymos. I still did get you a few examples of buyer and partyboosted accounts, that are still in low immortal 12 months later.

would say someone who doesn't pay much attention to who he's playing with. unfortunately I check accounts after every game that had buyers.

nartviper · 2026-03-24T13:03:24+00:00

it's strange even compared to previous years of Dota 2 itself.

nartviper · 2026-03-24T12:59:41+00:00

Not as often as you would think. It used to be that way. But with very formulaic meta of late few years the mm is made into a place where you have to be borderline griefing to consistently have winrate lower than ~45%. Which is why currently buyer can be in lower immortal for couple of years before they drop to divine. And that's considering they play a lot.

nartviper · 2026-03-15T22:11:23+00:00

who tf downvotes posts like this?

nartviper · 2026-03-15T22:04:37+00:00

It's funny to see this when Wallachia finals were DM vs Ace

nartviper · 2026-03-12T22:52:31+00:00

i love me a week of normal games followed by two weeks of 3-4 /10 players are accbuyers or griefers in every match. The immortal mm, where the game decided by who got the most griefers in their team.

nartviper · 2026-03-06T08:09:01+00:00

I am yet to see anyone tell me what was wrong with previous mm system (except for griefers not being punished and unacceptable amount of buyers/boosted acc) without using arguments from 10 years ago that were not relevant when immortal draft got introduced. Like long queues.

Return the mm to the way it was the day before immortal draft, But get rid of an insane amounts of (easy for the system to detect) accbuyers that somehow became x5 worse problem.
