How are you guys missing this

- The pathfinder now ignores obstructions that are due to units that are not visible to the pathing unit.

Well, Tharuler clearly understands the implications of showing you DBR... ROFL.

That is a great pic.

@Firebolt the pathing is interesting but I assume it will path correctly as long as you can see the fissure, as opposed to "if ES is invis you will path like a retard even if u can see fissure" which is how it is worded

SO pretty much what the pathing change does is if you can see the obstruction you will go around it, if not you will walk the normal shortest distance until you see the obstruction then attempt to path around it. how this works with earthshaker is when he fissures into trees (like south of radiants bottom tower) you will have a much harder time escaping than prior, similar instances occur in all tree juke areas.

Dont be stupid. Valve devs probably talk to Dotabuff to delay their DBR release so they can add that privacy options. Why Dotabuff release their Rating on Friday when obviously their system is already in place? If Valve dont do it, their devs forum just gonna get spammed by a bunch of whiners crying about being insult in pubs for being Bronze Scum. Only Bronze scum hide their profile.

Well yes, I gathered that, but it looks like they worded it poorly

I'm also curious to see how it handles ES fissure. If I can see part of it, will I path as if I know about all of it or will I path as if I only know about the part I can see? Etc.

Just idle curiosities. I've seen the old pathing comparison videos.

I love how subtle Valve is about this. Dotabuff was all fine, until they added DBR and it instantly gets shut down. I don't think the DBR will work at all even if you decide to turn it off, correct? Because, if it's default private, it means it will stay private for at least 80% of players, and I don't think they can make that system work with such a limited data.
