Honestly, if you nerf mek, razor and viper get nerfed. Just saying.

Or you could just increase the mana cost / lower int gain for those heroes. Which buffs OD.

Awkward.

Doom using a cast point to cast scorched earth seems fair. Similar to edict on Lesh.
Also, fix bottle being usable for free after a tp. I think that would make Tinker fair.
And Razor shouldn't be allowed to have 2 ults running at the same time like DP. I think that would make him balanced, in many games people don't even go for agha refresher and it's still a fine hero.
A little numbers nerf to DP and Skymage, maybe just a bit longer CD on one of their spells.

That would be enough nerfs for me, rest could be buffs. :D


I would like if they rework bottle so it only refills 1 charge every 5 seconds in the fountain, so you have to sit 15 seconds in fountain to get the bottle refilled. Would make bottle crowing less bullshit and would fix the bottle refill after tp.

What is holding back teams from trying to do a cheap +stats push similar to the build on np with nulls except respective stat based item for each hero? 5 wraith drow + 5 null prophet + whatever


I assume he is asking why teams don't rush cheap stat items and then force fights by 5-man pushing. If that is what you want to know i would guess it is too risky, if you can't end by 15-20 minutes you will probably lose as 3 cores wasting 2.5k gold each is a big deal.

I think strength gain buff made Razor good in this patch, right? If you reverse it back he might become irrelevant/OD mid counter.

At least they honestly tell you that they were paid to do it.

Literally 0 gaming journalists these days would do that.

That's right, PFLAX is a better gaming journalist than every major online publisher these days.

I don't think Razor is OP or anything, he is fine but is just well suited to the current meta, same with Death Prophet

Now Void/Tinker on the other hand

fuck those guys.

I appreciate their honesty and glad they are getting paid. Gotta make those dollars.

Rather than nerfing mek, I would rather they make more ways to break static link for razor. Providing more ways to deal with him stealing damage makes for better gameplay, IMO.

Also helps that they are not journalist. Patrick Klepek of Giant Bomb is a journalist, with like sources and writing stories about the industry. TB and Flax are just entertainers who's opinion some people rely on for purchase decisions.

Not really a crack at you, but people throw around the term "journalist" super broadly in the gaming world. People call Geoff Keighley a journalist, even those he has never claimed to be one, or done anything that even vaguely resembles being a journalist.

No, all of them do that now. They have to. There was a quite a big scandal with xbone and Machinima a while back and apparently all youtubers are now legally obliged to clearly state that the video is paid for. And it's not even enough to put it in the description, it has to be right on the video.

What I don't get is why TB is doing this... I mean, his channel and Polaris has to be making a fuckton of money for him. By doing paid videos he's just discrediting himself as a critic, at least in my eyes. Pflax I guess needs the money, but it still rubs me the wrong way that he's accepting money to promote a competitor's product after being so deep in DotA, even being invited and paid by Valve to TI4.

I wonder how long strife can survive before S2 goes bankrupt. I don't see them lasting very long, i mean blizzard atleast has their franchises to pull people in.
But most of S2s audience got increasingly disappointed with them after how they handled HoN.

Going to be interesting to see how they do.

I don't really care about the paid promotion though, as long as it's stated that it's a paid promotion.
Gaming "journalism" is rotten nowadays.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I agree, we need more counterplayer for that supremely anti fun ability that allow the player to make meaningful decisions

TB isn't really doing it for the money, he routinely plays different games and has shown interest in strife before. He had a reasonably good time playing a game with a buddy and got paid a bit for it, seems like a good deal for everybody.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I guess what I meant is that gaming coverage is super incestuous these days, so I guess I found this interesting.

Honestly, Razor isn't the biggest problem of this patch. It's fricking tinker and FV. Make march all magical, make blind's time scale like ember spirit's chains, increase chrono's CD like enigma's ult and get rid of aghs upgrade. I'm fricking sick of trying to break high ground with a 25-4 kill lead and getting stomped because somehow these two have farmed while their team lost like crazy. We eventually win, but the game drags on for another 20 minutes solely because of these two heroes.

apparently dota players can't even try out anything else much less enjoy it. good to know.

The fact that they get paid to try out a game is like bonus.

Also people please don't forget that yes, there's 100 annoying things about void but you can't nerf them all. Nerfing more than one or two will result in void being relegated to theoretical 1v1 6-slot discussions again.

E: and yeah meepo's pretty broke imo, including in competitive.

Agreed, the main problem with link is there is literally no way to stop it except to walk away from it, with a couple of exception. With Razors natural move speed and it working even while he is stunned, its just free damage for him with no ability to deal with it.

Mind you, I have no idea what should break the link, but maybe if he is stunned for a set period of time or a damage threshold.

He does call himself a critic. And he is a critic, his videos are poorly researched reviews under the mask "first impressions", because that takes less effort.

And they're not "trying out" a new game. They're making advertisement for it. I know nobody can stop them from doing it, they have every right to do it, etc.
