I'm loving this patch. Was down 10-2 against a lineup with DP Rhasta Viper and still pulled off a comeback from 2 lanes down. Terrorblade was very fun to play (only play Captains so I'd never played him before) and Rosh seemed to be pretty even.

Interesting bug.

Just played a game against a Naga and a Phantom Lancer. At about 50 minutes they... ran out of illusions. Naga's mirror image started spawning only one illusion, and PL's... whatever the fuck he was doing... started producing only 1 or 2 illusions instead of 6+ of him running around. About two minutes later, Naga's manta/mirror image just straight stopped producing illusions.

This obviously didn't help them very much.

Okay, so the bounty gold when down is ridiculously high. Playing morphling, down against slark, riki, and bounty who have kill streaks and get an ultra kill including all three of their carries. I go from 900 gold before the fight, to over 9k gold after the fight.

Edit: They were all solo kills so that may have affected it (I was farmed just team was dying)

Well played Steveling. We might need a gif for that.

Emphasis44: That is literally like the ideal scenario for getting fat on gold. It would have been more spread out if your team had been there.

It looks like it's so much easier to comeback now. Very noob friendly.

I don't really mind that much, because the game punishes getting greedy and throwing. Its harder to hold on to a lead in this version of dota. And the gold is really spread out in team fights. But it does punish that idiot who gets a rolling start with riki and then never figures out the other team bought a gem.

Though I won't be shocked at all if the values get adjusted over time.

No, if anything it's very anti noob as players that have a tendency to die will be punished harder when ahead. It goes back to the old idea that not dying is the best thing you can do 85% of the time.

It feels really uncomfortable to feel like being passive / defensive with your advantage is a safer choice than trying to use your advantage. The patch still needs to play out, but every 6.82 game I've played so far I feel MUCH more comfortable playing from behind, because there's less at stake if you screw up. Gold and exp advantage is now overvalued, so fucking up on vision / positioning / teamfight can still be as big a disadvantage as your gold and exp is an advantage, but the enemy team isn't going to be punished for their advantages, but you're going to be punished for yours.

Sounds like a lot of people got used to going YOLO when they had an early lead and apparently not going YOLO is noob-friendly.

Tell you what every time my fucking carry threw the game I didn't think "wow what a pro he tried to press his advantage and unfortunately it did not work out"
