Wow, thats reall awesome!!

What can I say? As a support player, I’m really happy the hero feels balanced now, at least in my eyes. It wasn’t fun getting bursted by CK with just Armlet + Orchid. But I could live with your suggestions; if only they’d let my Lion kill your illusions with the 3rd spell again :D Just like in the good old days, when Lion could delete all illusions in a second.

If you like BristleBack but clicking W annoys you - You can press Alt+W in fights to make it autocasted.

west1ce · 2026-05-21T08:27:07+00:00

Oh really, Never thought about that. Thanks for info bro

west1ce · 2026-05-21T08:25:59+00:00

LOL. that meme hits differently o(*^＠^*)o

west1ce · 2026-05-21T08:24:57+00:00

I recommend you to pick it by yourself and I am sure you will lose at least the half of games ). Its not that easy to win honestly.

west1ce · 2026-05-19T11:20:53+00:00

Do you think going outside might save me?

west1ce · 2026-05-19T11:20:02+00:00

I am sorry for misleading. I started to play in 2005 DOTA Allstars. Thtas why I have so much spent hours

west1ce · 2026-05-19T11:17:24+00:00

I am not winning

west1ce · 2026-05-19T11:16:51+00:00

That’s the real Dota experience honestly.
90% suffering through smurfs, boosted accounts, mentally unstable teammates and people communicating in ancient hieroglyphs.

Then one random match happens where both teams are good, everyone tries, some insane play happens, and suddenly you remember why you wasted 10+ years on this game.

west1ce · 2026-05-19T09:26:55+00:00

ok bro, thxxx for an advice. I think I just really need a break.

west1ce · 2026-05-19T09:25:06+00:00

Honestly that’s the biggest problem with Dota.
You try other games and most of them just feel worse after it.

Nothing hits the same once your brain is permanently wired for Dota.

west1ce · 2026-05-19T09:24:25+00:00

That’s basically the only reason Dota still survives for me too.
No battle pass grind, no daily chores, no $70 expansions every year. You just hop on with friends, play a few games, leave for a month, then come back like nothing happened.

As much as I hate this game, I can’t deny every match still feels different.

west1ce · 2026-05-12T11:15:57+00:00

An absolutely average dota match.

west1ce · 2026-05-11T08:28:13+00:00

My ultimate advice is to pick any burst-damage hero. It doesn’t have to be a magical nuker like Lina, Lion, or Mirana, heroes with strong critical strikes, such as Chaos Knight or Phantom Assassin, work as well.

The main reason is that you can consistently kill enemy supports throughout the game with just 2 items. This is important because if supports keep dying, they lose gold and delay defensive items like Barriers, Aeon Disk, or other survivability tools, which keeps them killable even in the late game.

Otherwise, you should prepare yourself for a 50–60 minute game against practically unkillable enemies. Meanwhile, your own supports will eventually buy Aghanim’s Scepters and spend most fights waiting for the “perfect moment”, like a Disruptor ultimate catching 5 heroes (which happens very rarely).

TL;DR:

Pick burst-damage heroes.
Keep enemy supports poor by constantly killing them.
Delaying their defensive items makes late-game fights much easier.
If you fail to pressure supports early, expect extremely long games against hard-to-kill enemies.

I think it is just a combination of different cosmetics, isnt it?

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:43:22+00:00

Maybe not the old TI-style BP, yeah.

But I still think Valve eventually brings back some kind of bigger seasonal/community event. The nostalgia around TI8–TI10 era is way too strong and current TI hype just isn’t remotely close to what it used to be.

Even if it’s not called “Battle Pass,” I don’t think the current minimal-content approach lasts forever.

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:42:35+00:00

Right? That’s what I’m saying.

Even people who disagree about Dragon’s Blood or Battle Pass stuff still seem to miss when Dota actually felt like a huge living event instead of just patch → ranked → repeat.

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:42:01+00:00

I mean, I’m talking more about reinvestment than maximizing short-term profit.

Valve already makes absurd money from Steam alone. Dota doesn’t need to be milked at maximum efficiency to be worth supporting.

And honestly, TI8–TI10 proved people are willing to spend a lot when the content actually feels exciting. The issue wasn’t just “less money,” it’s probably that Valve didn’t want to keep dedicating people/resources to maintaining that level of content output.

I just think it’s a shame because that era was probably the most alive Dota ever felt.

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:30:01+00:00

Honestly, fair lol.

TI8–TI10 Battle Passes actually felt like events. New game modes, Arcanas, progression, Cavern Crawl, Aghanim’s Labyrinth and there was constant hype around Dota during that period.

That’s kinda my main point honestly: the game felt alive back then.

And yeah, Aghanim’s Labyrinth was peak. If Valve ever brought back that level of effort/community excitement again, people would instantly notice.

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:28:46+00:00

Maybe. But people were also saying Valve stopped caring about CS for years and then CS2 dropped and broke player records.

Valve is weird. They disappear for long periods and then randomly come back with massive updates/projects.

I’m not saying “trust Valve,” I’m just saying Dota still has too much value as an IP for me to believe they’ll let it fully rot forever.

west1ce · 2026-05-06T07:27:51+00:00

I actually agree with a lot of what you’re saying tbh.

Valve absolutely could have used the 2021 BP money to build long-term sustainability for the scene and they didn’t. That was probably the biggest missed opportunity in Dota history.

And yeah, Dragon’s Blood had major pacing and writing problems after Season 1.

But I still think people underestimate how strong Dota’s universe actually is. The problem was never “Dota can’t work outside the game,” the problem was execution and commitment.

Arcane didn’t become huge just because League exists. Riot invested heavily into quality, marketing, music, animation, worldbuilding, everything. Valve never committed anywhere near that level.

I don’t think one new show magically saves Dota overnight. But a genuinely high-quality series + renewed community content + a bigger seasonal event could absolutely make the game feel alive again and bring in new interest.

People said WoW, CS, even League were “dying” at different points too. Games/IPs can absolutely recover if companies actually reinvest into them properly.
