My girlfriend and I met in a dota pub 2 years ago today...

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 10:20 AM PST

She picked offlane OD and I was safelane DK with my friend supporting me (it was 2k mmr). Having identified she was a grill I proceeded to capslock flame her all game and suicide to the enemy fountain to prove my devotion to her. Somehow it worked and we added each other. A month later I was on the plane from the UK to Romania to meet her. 4 months later we went to Fiji together for 2 weeks. 6 months later she moved to England, got a job and we have lived together for over a year now. We still play dotes and tonight will play offlane OD and safelane DK in a pub to celebrate. Though now we are over 4k mmr I think that won't end well...
Tonight, 2 years and +2,000 mmr each later, we're celebrating our 2nd anniversary! Dota is true romance.
Edit: Thanks for all the love guys, we just got back from a dinner out and had a great time reading all the comments. About to drink a bottle of wine and play that OD offlane DK safelane game. To anyone searching for 4.3k ranked games atm, good luck.
Edit: I play on a new account these days, Ninetails https://www.dotabuff.com/players/205698848

Dota 2 Update - MAIN CLIENT - December 19, 2016 | Update 2

Posted: 20 Dec 2016 01:10 AM PST

Analysis of the patch from a few hours ago.

UI Updates

Versus Screen
  • Support has been added so the Battle Cup icon will show up for victors on that screen.
Spectating
  • The DVR bar at the bottom doesn't pop up now when you hover to see stats at the bottom of the HUD. Instead a new button has been added that lets you manually pop up the DVR seeker when you need it.
Pre-Game
  • Support has been added for the Battle Cup icon to show up for victors on the pre-game screen.
Other
  • An issue has been fixed where the KDA/CS stats would get cropped off in some cases.
  • Text shadow has been removed from the text on the scoreboard so it looks clearer.

String Updates

Tooltip Updates
  • Modifier tooltip has been added for Wukong's Command Bonus Damage.
  • Tooltip has been added for Radiance recipe.
Other
  • Supporting tag for the Spring 2017 Workshop Submissions has been added.
  • A couple of unused HUD related strings have been removed.
  • The Shrine gathering strings were updated to show the auto chat icon. But one of them is slightly bugged out and you'll instead see "%s4" tag until fix.

Other

  • The missing Battle Pass Rewards from the Champions Cup seem to have been given out to winners.
  • Seems to be more map related tweaks.

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 04:54 PM PST

that's it. I believe it's a bug. although he does have a cool animation for boundless strike where he uses his staff.
this does not happen for other heroes, see: earthshaker, rubick fissure is instant

Dota 2 Update - MAIN CLIENT - December 19, 2016

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 01:31 PM PST

A new patch has been dispatched for the main client. More info will be edited in as I analyze the patch.
Analysis Status: Done

Official Changelog

  • Fixed a minimap input bug

UI Updates

  • The KDA/CS have been moved to the top so they don't overlap with the drop drown stats when spectating.
  • Minor spacing edits to the Common Items and Item Builds in the shop menu. // Negligible changes but I'm guessing it's to make sure nothing gets cut off.

String Updates

  • A fix to the tooltip modifier where it read SPELL IMMUNITY instead of PIERCES SPELL IMMUNITY.

Other

  • Seems to be some more map tweaks and optimizations. But can't document that.

  • Changelog: None yet.

Earthshaker is too weak and should be reworked

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 02:55 AM PST

I think everyone has noticed by now that Earthshaker in his current form is severely underpowered. Icefrog insists on ignoring him patch after patch and the result is this shitshow of a hero. So I thought about a rework of some of his abilities to get him back on meta.
  1. Fissure: Low damage skill, all utility. Should be changed to deal a 200% crit of Earthshaker's damage at all levels. To not make this skill too op, make the stun scale per level and remove the fissure produced on the ground.
  2. Enchant totem. Great skill, but lacks mobility. His Aghanim's upgrade should be incorporated into the skill itself, and allow him to jump on trees. When targeting the ground, slows the targets hit by up to 50% for 4 seconds, compensating for the lower utility and disable from Fissure.
  3. Aftershock: outdated skill, too old to have a place in Dota 2. Change it so after a select number of hits it grants Earthshaker bonus damage and 50% lifesteal for a few attacks. Synergizes with the reworked fissure, granting bonus damage to the crit as well.
  4. Echo Slam: I feel this ult is unreliable to pull off. A good buff would be to create an AoE about the size of Gyro's ult and create copies of Earthshaker that hit every enemy inside once every two seconds, and granting him and all his clones bonus damage for the duration.
Of course, I would leave it to Icefrog to balance all the values out in a way that isn't too op. What do you guys think?

Lack of MMR decay is a huge issue, and is potentially ruining your games

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 04:04 PM PST

I stopped playing DotA around 8 months ago. I didn't stop for any particular reason or fault with the game, I just got bored of it and moved on to other games. But 7.00 caught my eye and managed to pull me back in for a little bit. I even played a few games on the test server for the first time, and those went great.
But the other day I tried to play on the main servers and it was absolutely terrible. I was way out of my league not just because of the new patch, but because I had become so rusty at the game. Eight months of not playing the game (okay technically I played 2 games 4 months ago, but 4 months before that was the last time I was somewhat actively playing, so it's pretty much eight months) and the game still thinks I'm exactly as skilled as I was when I left.
Both games that I played yesterday had me in Very High Skill, here's my dotabuff for proof, and I was feeling outclassed by everyone else in the game. I apologize to the people who were in those games for being a huge dead weight.
Edit- for some reason people are latching onto the one ranked game I played and ignoring the unranked one. They were both awful, and unranked MMR (or whatever hidden value they use) should decay as well. /edit
Honestly it seems like the only option available to me is to just go on a massive losing streak before I finally relearn the game or end up getting matched properly. But losing sucks and is a disheartening experience, and I don't want to torment myself and other players for however many games it takes for DotA to realize that I do indeed suck now. I'd rather just not bother playing the game, which sucks because that means my only other option to enjoy the new patch is to play against bots.
And I can only imagine how many other people there are out there like me, who haven't played the game in ages but are getting matched at the same skill levels where they left off.
It's absurd that DotA doesn't take inactivity into account when matchmaking.
Anyway that's my big dumb rant. What do all of you think? Am I wrong? Should I just uninstall DotA and not look back? Or could MMR decay improve match quality?

The Spring Shuffle

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 10:36 AM PST

When Does Registration Open?

The drop period is currently open until December 27th at 00:00 PDT. After that period you won't be able to remove players from your team anymore, but you'll be able to add new players to your team to a maximum of five. Players in teams that haven't confirmed participation by December 27th at 00:00 PDT will be dropped automatically.

When will rosters be locked?

Rosters will be locked January 9th 12:00 AM PDT, and will remain locked until after the Spring Major.

I registered my team for the last season. Do I have to register again?

Your team will be saved from the previous season but you have to confirm the participation of your team before the drop period is over. You can do this in the 'Manage a Team' tab. Teams that haven't confirmed participation will have its players dropped at the end of the drop period. During the first phase—the drop period—you can remove players from your team. After the drop period is over, you can invite players to your team until you get a full roster of five players.

Can we have access to the full shop during the planning phase?

Posted: 19 Dec 2016 08:44 AM PST

I don't like that there is a limited amount of items available to purchase pregame. Not to mention that item compositions keep changing, it would be nice to be able to see components of mid to late game items to help prioritize starting items.
