I mean the current patch could have probably been made any time, it's sort of a shitty fix to be honest. | ||

When demon is YOLO, #egslayer2013, #fitnessdedicated>MLGqualifiers well.. Not that he was wrong about anything or was 'being a bonehead', but compared to like the people I mentioned previously, it's a different level of analysis. I can't say I heard anything new or interesting, if anything I think people were way too kind on all the changes. Hell Cyborgmatt sounds like he's paid by icefrog the amount of skirting around finding faults. I mean specifically asked 'what was bad or what would you like to have changed' and that 'vanguard wasn't buffed enough'. The game aint perfect. Like the Roshan change was only looked at as a positive when there's also the quite obvious situation where it can affect the winner of a game by random chance. You win a team-fight, you can't take rosh until the enemy respawns. A different day you take Rosh and it changes the game. Or another scenario like today you have a support sitting there for 3 minutes waiting, that's not interesting gameplay. I'm not saying it's 100% a negative change, but it was just such a rose-tinted view. A lot of people have taken issue with several things in this patch and they made it sound like everyone's fine with everything. (although granted compared to other gaming communities reaction to change then people are very happy with changes, but that's just how the dota community is) | ||

It shows up when the game ends. Makes sense since it now gives players who complain the excuse, "Oh, we lost because the other team was a 5 stack." | ||

I randomed him the other day and just kind of bought random shit - Aquila, Phase, Drums, Maelstrom into Manta and Skadi and Daedalus. I definitely would purchase something like butterfly or desolator over the skadi next time but honestly nothing felt like it had a huge effect on my usefulness. Only thing that was somewhat obvious to me was aquila phase. As for skill build I went for the double passive build. However, I now think that going for the Shrapnel>take aim build with 1 level in headshot that I did last time I played him would have been better. Especially since i wasn't really laning vs anyone. | ||

Good thing you aren't developing the game then. I would very much hope that any major balance changes made to a competitive game were created with concrete purpose in mind beyond "oh let's just change this because it's stale and hope everything goes okay". The Roshan change is a major change and players have a right to expect good reason behind the change. Too bad I have yet to hear such a reason. | ||

In fact at least in my industry unwarranted positive review is a lot more destructive than negative. Neither are 'bitching', you look at something, you have an opinion. That's all it is. And I think if someone looks at all those patch notes and don't find something that could be a concern, they're not looking very deeply. I'm sure even Icefrog thinks some of those things could be a concern. (if not then heroes would never be removed from CM, and that's just the extreme cases) | ||
