How could people think that he is underpowered? I do think the cd increase on rocks is a pretty big hit to his power though, can no longer spam rocks for ulti willy nilly.
That's true, but they didn't touch his lack of mana issues so it's now a unique limiter to him. He has to have real down time now if he blows all his rocks on his ult, which at least gives you a reasonable window where he can't be ganking.
It's the same idea behind the 60 sec Vendetta CD or the mana issues most other gankers have like Veno or Earth Shaker.

When you play 80% of your games on one relatively high skill cap hero, of course it's going to look strong. There's no reason why it shouldn't be like that.

My best score against the Yearly Beast was 588 million, and i have no idea if that should be enough for Jade courier, i guess it s enough for the red one, but again, i cannot check :/ I think the scores with ursa before patch will not be counted?
I got 50m with the visage exploit, could've gone higher but we were skimping on spending gold, lol

Shadowdemon rocks, is underplayed and when played is played badly with only 42% winrate. He is a beast and we are all sleepy

Everyone is picking lich, warlock on new mode to get 100k dmg fast and all die, then reapeat all over again.

Grinding it is so boring, idk why you'd bother. Surprised valve didn't make it so if you at least buy the booster you could just play actual games to get items

I spammed the event post ursa nerf (was working) and got nothing but a Lyralei's Breeze and was pretty damn let down.
|
The whole event is quite the letdown. Normal Dota 2 matches are still more enjoyable even after having been played countless times.

crafted that little dragon courier its notbad

Same. I also got a Redhoof Courier from one of the mythical gift boxes, but the model doesn't work yet :/

I queued a ranked match yesterday to catch up on ingots after spending a bunch and I got my first game ever that wasn't +/- 24 or 25 points. Gained 18 for winning. I'm assuming it was because most people were playing year beast.
Which kinda means that year beast actually detracts somewhat from the "normal dota experience" but I didn't mind too much lol.

Yeah but the Wraith Night thing was fun as a one-off. This is like taking the shitty component of diretide (Bugging out roshan and killing it fast for items) and making the event just that. I mean, it looks pretty and is cool in theory, but insufferably boring in practice.

Wraith Night had a reason to be played for a reason in itself, for the enjoyment of the tower defense style game mode. The Year Beast event is too boring and the only reason for playing it would be to farm tokens. I did not bother with the WN tokens at all.

They need to make these events simpler. Who the f cares about Ingots, Recipes, Crafting, etc.
Wraith Night was fun because it had the towerdefense aspect, even though everything was scripted and it became boring quickly. Ability Draft ist very simple and in my opinion is the most fun mode so far. The should focus on really simple PvP events that are centered around the Dota heroes. Pudge Wars, Holdout modes (without the scripting and bossfights...), Arenas. Easy.

Just create Pudge Wars matchmaking.
