tell him you want to be in touch with someone about making guides better so that new users are less intimidated.

apparently he actually answers emails so you never know!


I'll sign: from off-topic liquidota to you <3

I replied to your post above ^^

(what's his email, I' emailed Dota 2 staff once but never got a reply)


icefrog@gmail.com

but to reply to your reply..i hear what you're saying. I think that you're a valuable asset to the community. perhaps if you have no competition, devoting 8 hours to it the moment a patch comes out isn't in your best interest if its wearing on you.

but whats with the general sentiment of being "burntout" though? I got into dota 2 scene pretty before the hype(post-ti3 to pre-ti4), I was playing dota 1 even earlier. But even I can feel the hype has left the building.
it all matters

Is that legit rofl, are you serious?

Ah well, the 8 hours thing is most a compulsory attitude (I can't leave things unfinished or delayed when I am available)
But you're right, thanks (: I'll email him

yup its legit..sometimes people post screenshots of email conversations on reddit lol

but yeah, I mean at some point you need to take into consideration that this IS a side project..don't kill yourself, im sure that everyone can wait the additional day on their guides especially because they will still build sny and lothars on every hero, updated guide or no updated guide.

it does, actually.

someone (fairly recently) posted a pic of an email they got a response to (it was about color-blind settings in game)

That is actually the most magical part of Dota, that that email is functional.

And just closed out our oldest landlord tenant case after 3.5 years, its a Christmas Miracle.

Good for you p6, that's good it's over with.

As another aside to the email thing it's apparent that icefrog reads reddit too. Apparently the Chen change was suggested by a redditor and the phase boots direction was another thread I remember.

We won, case completed. We got possession of the property they have been occupying for free for 3.5 years(the power of not giving a shit about your credit score and filing unlimited bankruptcies).

So in my near infinite boredom, I decided to find out what happens when silencer kills someone with 1 intelligence. As in, see if he still gains +2 from the kill. It turns out, the buff icon that shows how much int you have stolen does increase by 2, but you don't actually gain any intelligence from the kill. The most minor bug I've ever found in any game. Now the only question is do I even report it.
