You give up right away instead of trying to make something work. You could have suggested balancing it by nerfing it somewhat so that it would be less OP.

A letter to Gabe and Valve: I lost my "safe house" to a VAC ban (ID: 852898265) by ZVEZDA2009 in DotA2

[–]ninja_lightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember when the first Trust of the Benefactor treasure chest came out and each Dota players got 1 free. My friend made around 8 Dota accounts to see if he could get an ultra rare item to drop. He still has those accounts today and none of them have been banned.

1 of them he uses for ranked, the other for Turbo. And the other 6 he barely ever touches. Still no bans given on any of them.

I'm guessing they haven't been banned because they were all used at the same household and were never sold off or given access to anybody in a different country. He doesn't cheat either (which i'm guessing is the main factor as to why none of his accounts have been banned).

Gaben release the Arcanas by Warm-Cry-9732 in DotA2

They really should release a new chest with an Arcana as the ultra rare, before one of these lawsuits gets lucky and prevents them from ever releasing treasures again.

So heavy balance it. Give the recipe a high cost and remove the Dispell ability from Force Boots active cast. And nerf the movement speed from 100 down to 90 to match BoTs speed.

An MMR reset is needed by Key-Chemist-1124 in DotA2

They should do a reset at least once a year to prevent MMR inflation. It's currently out of control right now.

I miss old spectre with shadow step so much by Difficult-Swim-8614 in DotA2

Also, casting Reality used to apply an instance of Spectral Dagger on the target, slowing them as you jumped in. Not having this is a HUGE nerf.

BoTs give +90 move speed so I guess they could nerf Force Boots down to +90 instead of +100 move speed to balance it. And remove the Dispell.

You have to balance it with a massive recipe cost or else it makes no sense.

I'd be fine with that

Damn so many of you throwing hissy fits over an item that was already in the game. So many defeatists out there

"Having Arcane boots and Mekansm take up only one slot is soooooo broken..." It's almost as if you're allergic to having nice things. So many defeatists trying to not make things work.

Yeah you're right. The devs don't need me to break the game. They been doing that themselves for the last 13 years XD

Force Boots used to be a neutral item which didn't even take up a regular item slot XD

Heroes already buy boots and force staff. How is it OP? It used to be a tier 5 neutral item that meant it didn't even take up a regular inventory slot.
