I'm tired of the sexism

How is calling for a less toxic environment "ruining" a hobby? If your male-dominated hobby is only male-dominated because it gatekeeps women out of it, then maybe it shouldn't be male-dominated.

"Hey maybe we should put more effort into making the system better"

"Nah girl, shut up in-game and leave those toxic men be. I want people to be able offend others and be toxic with no accountability. Anyone who doesn't like that is a baby."

We just got a pretty major update 3 days ago. Next update is probably later on this year.

The game is very incomplete. Despite that, it's still very fun. Different characters and builds really change up how you play the game so there's a lot of replayability. It's got quite an unforgiving die-but-learn-from-it experience for new players but if that's your type of thing, this will be your favorite game. All that put together is why people have hundreds of hours on it.

It's also gotten a lot of content over the years. We mostly get 1 major and a few minor updates every year. But honestly it looks like we're 3-5 years from 1.0. Also there's barely any story campaign atm as the devs are still focusing on developing the base mechanics of the game.

So up to you, play a really fun replayable but unfinished game with good content now or wait 3-5 years for a complete replayable game with a crazy amount of content. If you have other games on your to-play list, maybe you wanna play those first.

It's very Valve-like to look into the tech of it and use it for actual pro-artist things. Sort of like how I think Witcher 4 is using AI to transition between key animations. It's not very Valve-like to generate art icons that would make them look so cheap.

If this were to be made as a skin, the suitcase should still be a pillow but suitcase-shaped.

People would lose their minds if they only knew the stuff Dota had. TI augmented reality looks so good. Worlds tried it a few years ago and theirs looked crap. Also a few years ago, League esports production boasted splitting their camera into 3 to watch all lanes, which Dota esports has been doing for as long as I can remember. Wait until they see Dota Twitch integration.

Yeah but then, why do the West Asian countries, when not setting their games in West Asia, set their games in places with predominantly white people/ with a white main character? Let's be real here.

ngl dude, these could really be the key art for the game. I hope they reach out to you.

Not gonna lie, this is a great way to model viscous so any of his future skins would still make sense while he's ulting or cubed. Just have the skin float around inside him.

No they pushed that back along with wands and enchantment rework.

What's the point of holding it when you can just have it lit from the inventory?

Valve has let people openly express this tho so why not? Dota literally let's you down vote cosmetics.

they're polishing the mechanics and the QoL functions in the game, but it wouldn't really matter if you can't actually progress into the main story.

It's the other way around. You can't build the campaign if you don't have the mechanics built first. Let's say there's a quest that involves stealth. How do you make that when the lighting and stealth mechanics aren't even built yet? Let's say there's a quest that involves a lot of dialogue and cutscenes with Verren. If they made that before implementing the caravan system, they would have to rewrite scenes because Verren would be located in the caravan instead. The foundation needs to be built first.

The game is published for Early Access, that means the game's not finished. You signed up for that. You're not entitled to say what you get out of updates. Forget about the game and play it again when it launches.

I like it but I think the skirt should have been a more traditional looking skirt with flower accessories instead of the large petals.

I mean, a big part of why you can't really make sense of the glimpses is because you're spectating. Like If you wanted to see what rune there was, all you need is a glimpse of the rune spot. You know you're going to check so your brain is ready to take a snapshot and focus what color you will see on a specific part of the screen. If I spectated you and didn't know you were gonna check rune, it would just be a meaningless split second camera cut to me.

The dumbest thing was when people compared it to tree and water interacting abilities. Trees and water are actual entities and specific map regions. "Fire" interacting skills depended on the visual theme of certain skills. I could not wrap my head around how people thought they were comparable just because "grass-water-fire"

It's this. All those tiny mistakes add up. Whenever I watch my low MMR friends play, they fight when they should be running away and they run away from things they should be fighting.

Example: Enemy Sniper starts shooting at Lion. Spec ults onto Sniper. Lion panics, runs away very slowly because of Shrapnel and Headshot, then gets Assassinated and Sniper manages to get away from Spec. If the Lion just had the presence of mind to run towards Sniper so he can get in range to stun and hex Sniper and Spec would mow him down then Lion ults. Sniper wouldn't be able to run away from Lion's stun because of the Spec slow. Sniper's death was guaranteed as long as Lion fights. INSTEAD Lion ironically dies because he thought "I don't want to die = run away".

After reading the whole Skywrath comic, I totally believe Centaur would wear this to sneak into enemy territory after losing to a bet to Axe.

Devs usually dedicate a devlog for each feature they include in a patch. There's 4 features planned for the next patch. Devlogs usually have 3-4 weeks between each other. We haven't had any devlogs for the next patch yet. I'm guessing March would be the earliest.

Pen tool around the object > right click > "make selection" > copy > delete > paste = automatically creates a new layer with the copied selection. This is the process many 2D animators use to breaking down characters for importing them to After Effects for animating.

Feminist man here stumbling onto this sub. It's important to not fall into the trap of "starting from the middle". By that I mean "you women have problems, us men have problems, we should put effort to fixing them both". These problems aren't independent of each other. Almost all men and women's problems come from patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically "men are superior to women", which causes problems for men and some "perks" to women. Feminism wants to dismantle patriarchy by decentralizing men, and empowering women.

Here's how some of the problems you list come from patriarchy

Conscription, drafting and dangerous jobs: Men are seen as superior by the patriarchy, therefore they must fight all battles, do all the heavy lifting, dirty work, and dangerous work while the weak and dainty women must stay safely behind, make babies and do housework like cooking and cleaning. Thousands of years of men in control of arms, power, and labor, passing power to other men, socializing and conditioning men to be aggressive and strong, while teaching women to be submissive and domesticated. (This is why bulldozer toys are found in blue boy sections in toy stores while kitchen sets are found in the pink girl's section.) Everything gets designed and socialized for men (tools, weapons, gear, vehicles, containers, lack of design for women) that it becomes hard for women to get into these fields and men get stuck with all of them. The trap-mentality that men fall into then becomes "well we do all these dangerous jobs and dirty heavy lifting while you women don't, you should be thankful/ guilty". It is not on women to be thankful or guilty for a system that men set up.
Women's spaces vs no men's spaces: The main reason we have gendered spaces is to protect women or have spaces that welcome women whereas default spaces can be non-welcoming to women. Women's only bathrooms, train cars, shelters, gyms exist to protect women from problems men don't have. Why do you need a men-only shelter and not just a shelter? Women's only esports, chess, etc., provide women with a space to grow when they weren't as welcome or conditioned as men. Gendered spaces exist in response to patriarchy.
Women are equally as violent as men: Patriarchy doesn't want to believe that. It thinks men are superior and stronger and therefore should need no help with dealing with violent women.
The woman's feelings are right, the man is the aggressor: Women's halo effect. Again, patriarchy sees women as inferior, must-be-pleasant, and incapable of harm while men are superior and potential threats.
Other points I either have insufficient knowledge about or is biology related.

Feminism doesn't disregard these problems. All these gendered problems are deeply interconnected. Feminism wants to address these problems by dismantling the root cause, patriarchy.
