I've been playing Dota since summer 2005. That's over 8 years of Dota. I've seen so many patches and everyone always gets a little bit upset at certain changes but the patches are always good, they make logical buffs that affect certain problems in the game and it always improves the game. Another nice patch from icefrog, I love all the changes in this one (Especially Lich, he's my favorite hero).

I dunno, the last balance patch was pretty well received.

I like most of the changes, but I don't really understand why they had to reduce jungle exp. Being able to leech exp from jungle camps without last hitting the creep also seems stupid to me.

A lot of the gameplay changes were clearly meant to buff offlaners, which I'm fine with considering how annoying offlane can be and how small the pool of competitive offlaners is.

I love the buyback change too

Eh, I didn't like the last patch that much - the only thing I did like about it was when abbadon, et, and such were added to the pool to make it seem less stale.

We've only gone 14 weeks without a hero, I'm sure Tresdin and Xin will be here soon. :U

So fuck jungle heroes basically? And lane control with the pull camps?
And Bloodseeker is just fucking obnoxious with these changes. Oh any hero on the map has below half health? GG

Bat dead, finally

Furion basically not touched ... ? You increase the bounty on treants by absolutely nothing, when those fucking pieces of shit are tanky as hell?

However Shadow blade got nerfed hard so I hope this rat doto shit is dead

LOL at the 0 cd on Skywrath's ult. Unless you're stupidely farmed you'll never have enough mana to support 2 ults anyway

Some other cool changes, like the timber slight nerf. Some changes feel a bit random though.

And some heroes like necrolyte are still shit

I don't think this changes bat a ton ... I mean, lasso is harder to hit, but getting that bit closer shouldn't make bat useless, nor should the change to his base damage, considering his mostly ran in the jungle now-a-days.



even if you run bat in jungle you need to kill the small camps. with dmg nerf idk if you can kill small camp and get to large camp fast enough to stack it again. Also jungle give less exp and gold.basically it is prob a 10 min blink dagger instead of 8

IO, Batrider, Naga, Troll, Elder Titan, Life Stealer, Outworld Devourer, Visage. Why do these heroes have to be picked/banned in the first phase of 95% of all the pro games played? Just the fact that these heroes where nerfed makes this patch awesome in my opnion. Now I can actually be surprise while watching the early draft. Eventually things will settle down and some combination of heroes will replace the current 8 heroes. But then Icefrog can again mess things up, and the game resettle and the cycle continues. Change is what makes a game like dota great. Image 2 consecutive internationals with similar metas? That would just be sad. Just look at the vods of international when a captain chooses a hero thats not standard the crowd goes wild. People don't really like to watch the same thing over and over just executed by diferent teams.
This patch makes more heroes viable in pro games, and so gives more room for teams to have unique playstyles. And that makes the game better to watch. As far as playing is concerned, it doesnt really matter. Unless you are one of those ppl that can only play a couple different heroes and suddenly you are nerfed, there are tons of possibilities for fun picks at pubs.
Of course there are a ton of non-hero changes that could cause problems. But maybe it could be great. The patch is just so big thats hard to tell. In general I'm quite happy with this patch and looking forward to playing with it as well as watching it being played.

To be fair, that works better on US servers. It's quite rare people use VOIP in pubs on EU servers (and if it is used, it's usually too hard to understand what's being said).

So Broodmother is just about immune to push a lane unless the other team has something to chop trees down?

There's so much wrong with that I can't even begin to explain ;(

Not saying you personally are wrong, just in my experience voice chat can be a good facilitator but it takes way more than just that for 2 strangers to play a duo lane correctly.
