Buy compendium, hope for valuable immortal, sell all items. Buy more compendiums.

How much of an impact do you think we will see from explicitly allowing major creep reroutes? Would things like Earthshaker ancient pulling affect a match heavily enough to see him being banned very early?

expecting quantic to pull out something like that once

You'll see it a few games (and some fancy cogwork with creeps for direside with clock), but it wont be meta-changing or anything.

quantic will pull off something utterly retarded like picking offlane clock and having him block creep spawns with rocket flare. that is intended though.

So the patch this week was quite underwhelming to say the least. Are we even gonna see Abaddon and Elder Titan enabled in captains mode for TI3? It makes absolutely no sense for them not to be in the draft pool.

It makes sense since no tournament has had either of these heroes, so no teams are practiced with them. I dont think they want any sort of cheesy meta-shift during TI3.

That would be amazing. I'd fly to Seattle to see that.
But seriously if you were honestly expecting any major changes outside of minor bug-fixes in the lead-up to TI3 then you're kidding yourself.

Not adding Abaddon to CM I understand, but Elder Titan has been in Dota 2 since early May. Teams have had 3 months to practice with him and nobody can seriously argue that adding him to CM would shake up the meta remotely as much as 6.78 did. Ofc it's too late now but with 4(ish) heroes missing from Dota 2's CM mode that are enabled in Dota 1's CM mode, it just doesn't feel like an entirely valid tournament without those heroes. ( Even if they're not picked or banned, they could possibly influence which heroes are picked or banned simply by being in the pool. If you're wondering which 4 heroes I'm referring to, they are Elder Titan, Abaddon, Legion Commander & Terrorblade. I'm excluding Techies for obvious reasons . . . .)
In terms of Valve's priority however, cosmetics > all other content. Understandable since Valve still needs to make money after all, as much as the people from this forum hate to admit hahaha: http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=100261
Hopefully by TI4 we'll have the last ten heroes ported over.

It's a really good thing!
1. The community, in a way, supported each other. I got a venge item, but was also disappointed that the other items didn't have as cool an effect as the others did.
2. Valve listens! And it was a pretty quick remedial measure, really. SC2 takes months to finally nerf/buff things.
3. Cooler item effects is never a bad thing.
