Dota is at the point where pos 5 doesn't get punished for anything now. So no wonder you enjoy it. Stress free experience. You can only have positive impact.

I suppose you can always have buyback to make dank plays now, if I were forced to look at it positively.


I quit for about 3 years or so, and I gotta say I think that the experience of a support has MAJORLY increased. Maybe it's not as noticeable if you slowly experienced it over time, but coming back and having more gold available, more options to move around rather than just sit in your lane and watch your carries farm, more ways to stay relevant levels wise, more useful items that actually impact the game available, etc. the game is a lot more bearable as a support.

There are a few things that I'd like to see changed here and there that seemed better from before, but overall I'd say that the changes really have been overall great gameplay wise

Couldn't agree more. Playing support is definitely more fun now compared to a couple years ago. Mostly because, like you said, you have more option what you can be doing. And this has had a HUGE impact on pubs, especially the lower MMR brackets. I see it in my legend games, people are way more willing to play supports now compared to before. That is super important for the overall experience of playing dota.


The sound when someone takes a stack you did is so satisfying. I mean, the actual gold you're getting is pitiful, but it sounds like you won the freaking lottery

It took me like 5 games to realize what the fuck the that sound meant. Walking in the middle of nowhere and suddenly the sound of coins starts playing, I was so confused. Personally, I think the sound is a little too distinctive. It seems like it's louder than when you kill a creep.

The only negatives are base damage reduced by 4, 0.3 regen sharing level 1, and a really insignificant cooldown nerf on ult

In exchange you get perma tether and matching MS

You can literally Tether who you're laning with, thus giving them extra regen the ENTIRE laning phase as opposed to just when it's off cd (sort of nullifying the regen nerf lol) and you don't even need boots making him far less killable

This shits a massive buff early game

https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/8816oh/12_of_all_matches_are_played_with_cheats_check/

I'm pretty surprised by this thread. I have around 3.5k games and I haven't felt even once that someone had to be cheating. I don't even know what sort of cheats exist

https://blog.gosu.ai/2018/03/27/anticheat/

Some of the listed "cheats" are so useless that it wouldn't be surprising if I wouldn't notice someone using them

I'm assuming the relevance here is that u used to be a ghetto lich by stealing ur mid's range creep just to deny enemy xp while you wait for the 1 min jungle spawns.

Although I never saw it happen or figured it out, in hindsight that's really smart xd

used to be standard, u can send back 3 creeps on offlane before creeps meet giving ur offlaner actually a lane instead of the joke that is offlane these days

Mana cost though, and breaking when it was cd would be a hassle

Now if you're tethered past cd it's just up
