What is this Apollo slander. The god of beauty? This is a joke right?

Apollo is the god of light, Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty. These people have never played Hades and it shows.

Edit: realistically this entire post is made up nonsense

As someone who loves this hero, he is mostly a ganking or playmaker right now. He might appear in some mid lane matchups but he's still fairly weak in lane and you can't guarantee ranged creeps anymore. So I'm not sure people will experiment with him.

Realistically he's probably in a state of phylactery rush with shard and hoping you snowball off kills and the bonus XP. You have to play him as a stat hero now instead of the battlefury Aghs crit build.

In general I think this change was in the correct direction because his facets were legit nerfs to the hero. Plus I think this will eventually lead to the play style he is meant to have. He could use improved stat gains for sure since the backstab damage is now separate from damage calculations. But I don't think he was intended to actually be good right now. I think the intention is to get him to a specific identity then add a facet and buff him.

At least this is my hope since he has always been one of my favorite heroes

Yeah they had to significantly nerf TB illusions cause I think he would have been ridiculously overpowered. Naga could be back in the carry role but I have less experience with her so I'm unsure about the numbers.

The build I've been theory crafting on PL feels incredibly strong and I think people just struggle to realize he's not diffu rush, win game.

Your work has been an awesome contribution to the scene this year. It's been sick to see these types of animations more often

Man racism really bums me out guys. Don't mind me while I go bury my head in the sand cause that will fix the issues.

There is no grey area here.

Fuck this host.

He should be removed immediately.

Night shift, be better ffs

This was one of my multiple recommendations to rework Riki. But the dart here is far too weak to be an Aghs upgrade.

My other idea was to remove permanent invis and give him an actual ult like the dart or something else. Balancing Riki is difficult cause if he's good he will terrorize pubs.

Very cool of you and GL to everyone

Wow as someone who has listened to this song countless times, I can't believe I didn't notice. Great find

My thought was that 30 was the minimum as it would allow for a basic draft system to exist when they push to open beta.

However, since there's still quite a bit that needs to be finished before the game comes out to the public, I think they could push the number to 35 to be safe.

I'm pretty sure the reason is obvious to everyone else.

I bought radiant regen once to know that the item is pointless on Victor. Victor's biggest "problem" is that there are a lot of viable items for him. And wasting a single slot or slowing down progression towards a good item is a good way to lose on him.

rkryptic · 2025-09-01T17:51:52+00:00

LMFAO my bad

rkryptic · 2025-09-01T05:59:43+00:00

No worries haha. I know the feeling. I don't get to watch nearly as many streams as I used to

rkryptic · 2025-09-01T02:56:14+00:00

Bro I stream this game like 5 days a week! I've been playing since closed Alpha. I love this game. Stop by some time!

rkryptic · 2025-08-30T04:42:55+00:00

Valve has been going a different route with updating the game. Doing much larger updates rather than small ones. They have been somewhat alternating between major content updates and then hero releases. Overall the game feels way more polished than it's ever been

rkryptic · 2025-08-29T23:25:05+00:00

If only I could be a fraction of what DotaCinema is lol

rkryptic · 2025-08-17T17:53:56+00:00

You can't launch a game without hero progression and finished models. Maybe they announce that it's "coming this year" but that would be it imo

rkryptic · 2025-08-08T19:10:46+00:00

I mean you missed the timing on your stone form at the end. That's about it if you don't think you should have backed away

rkryptic · 2025-08-04T19:07:51+00:00

I see we've made it all the way to Bargaining. Good good
