EPTI could see this patch being kinda ass for pos1 and pos3 atm. There's enough strange shit going on mid that you'd get some variety, but I could definitely see those two positions being worse than they have been in the past, not better.

But i don't dislike it enough not to play it. | ||

Even tho i dont like it that much overall, i think it's fun because of the said rng, but when it comes to competitive, there's too much on the line for that... Imagine winning TI because you got Apex with a morph on your team, the other team can't predict that. | ||

The problem i think is when a team is behind mostly then picks up some crucial neutral items like i have seen so many times an underfarmed w33ha from the minor and major comepletely just goes straight for the big items and is unaffected by the problems he had earlier in the game because of the neutral item pretty much fills him up with items for armor/damage/stats as if he was never behind in the firstplace. It is a problem for progames but isn't much for players like me. It is even more random runes but at least runes can be controlled and expected which gives a room for outplay if you want that advantage. Neutral items pretty much gives advantage according to icefrogs desire completely | ||

Honestly I think netural items just need to avoid dead items. Iron talon and PMS feel like they have a lot of situations where they're just useless to your team. Also shovel needs charges so it's not just unanimously the most appealing t1 drop. | ||

That was good neutral item rng can get balanced out by higher kill bounties. this is really the core issue with neutral items, that they are not tied to a networth value and given for simply killing a jungle creep. it messes with the bounty resource system of dota2 and is difficult to balance because what can be useful for one hero is useless for another and theres no choice in the matter of what kind of shit drops. how i think it should be balanced is that except for 70:00 minute items teams can get neutral item token for a selection of cheap, medium, and expensive items, of which the tier can be divided into different sets of items. that way theres less randomness of usefulenss, theres a networth tied into the item, and the item can be balanced more around what it actually offers for a cost. also fucking get rid of all neutral items that are simply recipes. if anything, make them still functional but upgradeable into its "final form". my idea for 70 min items is that they work the similarly as now, but every 1 or 2 minutes teams get more chances to get the other (not the same) kinds of neutral item drops another gripe i have about neutral items is that they just drop on the floor. i have seen many a time where neutral items are lost because hero was unable to pick it up or accidentally killed a neutral creep and it happened to drop a really good item and the other team picks it up first. or because said player is playing a micro hero with units unable to pick up item and has to walk all the way over to the spot to get it (yet another nerf to micro heroes) -- this can happen when enemy hero is standing in the area but not close enough | ||
