I'm just saying that there are enough big changes that you could conceive the patch to not make sense, that is my argument. But you people are desperate to argue with every person that seems to be bashing the changes.
When people bash the changes without noting any specifics or making an actual argument, I'm inclined to wonder what the fuck they're on about, yes

The combination of increased gold over time, kill bonus, the jungle, 4 minute nighttime and a random factor for roshan basically screams "go fucking fight". Yeah, it seems IceFrog wants way more action and less waiting around. Looking over it again in addition to that it's making everything more bullshit (aka more dota) which is awesome. Worst case some things might need to be disabled in -cm or changed a bit soon after they come out but it's gonna be glorious.
tl;dr: -More action -More bullshit -Better Dota
<3 Icefrog. Crisis averted.

solo offlanes can do so much against trilane such as courier snipes and steal jungle exp. is br still a first ban first pick hero? with rosh change, you now really need vision around the rosh pit and heroes like visage would rule the pit. laning got a lot more difficult with the regen nerfs the nerf to buy backs will change the game more drastically now.
I don't see how courier snipes are easier now, wasn't it just buffs for the walking courier? In paper, it seems to be fairly easy to kill 75 hp walking courier before three minutes, even with the HP and speed increase. Flying Courier - Cannot be purchased until 3 minutes after creeps spawn Hm, alright I suppose that makes sense missed the flying courier change

That's what the goal has been ever since Valve got their hands on DotA. Spectator friendly meta at any cost.

changes are good. if there 1 thing i learned with all the changes after all these years, Trust Icefrog.

Bat's still going to be a good hero. It's more that it's risky to first-pick him now since his laning ability really got nerfed. Before, teams had to pick their mids around a possible mid bat. Now bat can really only be run in offlane/jungle.

is this even the same game? god damn drastic changes. this will be very interesting. can't wait to see how try offlane play since that's what i usually do.

These changes are just fucking weird.
Like could buyback be more convoluted now? Surely there's a better way to balance it than that.
And random roshan respawn time, errr... why. So now we get people who will complain about 'yeah we won the team-fight and couldn't kill roshan'.
If it's good or not for the game I don't know, but these sort of changes seem completely unnecessary to me at this point.

too many of them are pure ridiculous.
3mins fly courier limit, to nerf mid bottle crow and icefrog went full retard. Pudge's dagger - why dont they just implement Techies if they wished for serious pub greifing.
Just too many.
I get it this is the first patch that they purposely tweak and change stuffs based on dota2 engine but the amount of ridicules in the patch are just mindblowing. Not that I hate or like it but this is a whole new game from now on.

I apologize if this has already been answered, but when it says:
* Buyback prevents gaining unreliable gold (creeps, neutrals, etc) until your normal respawn time finishes * When buying back, 25% of the remaining respawn time will be added to your next death
Does that mean that after a buyback and until you would have respawned normally...
a) you get 0 gold from unreliable sources (creeps etc) b) you get gold from unreliable sources, but you get it as reliable

With the 2-1-2 versus trilane thing he's done though I really hope that trilanes are still viable, but to the point where dual lanes are too, creating a 3-1-1 vs 2-1-2 scenario.

I'm calling this patch a fake for 2 reasons:
1) It hasn't been posted on Playdota 2) Some of the changes are fucking stupid ( ex: roshan ).

You will not be able to get gold from unreliable sources.
