HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE! A Dota poll!? Pack your bags, everyone! A couple of yes / no / maybe clickable links not related to SC now occupy 0.5% of the front page of TeamLiquid! This site is forever ruined in my eyes. The fucking disgrace. ./s

I am far to bad to know what this patch will do but the changes are looking to make the game more aggressive which could be fun. However I'm one of the few people who likes to watch a 90 minute farm fest with about two kills so I have no idea whether I will like it. Looking forward to offlane buffs regardless.

DotA poll makes me sad.

I'm just wondering how it showed up when I explicitly filtered out all content related to that game.

I like every change except for the Roshan one. It makes the game a little bit too luck-based. Maybe you lost a teamfight only to have Rosh spawn instantly afterwards which could easily win the game. Or you win a teamfight only to find that Rosh isn't back up, so you can't really capitalize on your advantage, giving the enemy team another chance to come back. I feel that ultimately it will just make teams more passive as nobody is going to want to take a fight until Roshan respawns anyway.

And to the people complaining about Dota polls. How long have you been on this site? Because if you came in with SC2 then you're being hypocritical as fuck.

Its just a small and silly thing but I can sympathize with the sc2 fans. I remember when the BW features were taken away one by one.

Some changes I like, some I don't, some I feel need to be played/tested before fully knowing.

I would be all for this patch if it wasn't for the buyback change. Dual-layered fights was never detrimental to the intricacy of this game. The long fights we used to see around the rosh pit is now gone, because you'll never ever in a million years want to buyback your carry unless he's sixsloted. This effectively exterminates the big two-round fights.

Edit: and also to state the obvious, October-fools Bloodseeker and Broodmother both suck, Volvo fix. I have no idea wth they are thinking with that.

I actually laughed when I realized 1/3 of your posts are angry posts about dota polls. At least make them about the game, not polls.

Not going to lie. That's pretty pathetic. Something tells me it's a smurf account.

Do me a favor and shut the hell up. K thx. Seriously, all of you deserved to be slapped around with a tuna fish. Reading all these comments is hilarious and man do we ever get a lot of polls these days. I should be checking them more regularly for the laughs.

I voted good, because at least Icefrog / Valve is willing to change things up like this. It seems like some developers recently have been prone to fall into "status quo"

I haven't played it so I can't really judge it. But it changed lots of shit, so I consider it good by default just because watching it was getting a little stale for me.

well I would choose the option: "good, but disagree with a bunch of changes". Its not really disagree, just baffled. Like a huge jungle rework, but not fixing harpy? But I like the general direction of "GO KILL MORE"
