Make DOTA Great Again : A Wishlist for DOTA

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 12:52 AM PST

A wishlist of everything I wish Valve did for DOTA 2:

Provide a sense of community:

  • Address the solo focus of the game. The game has a lack of community, especially with the removal of guilds.
  • Weekly/biweekly Battlecup, auto online tournaments even similar to War3/SC2. Ideally tournament qualifiers could be run through the Dota client itself.
  • Guild/clan interface
  • Guild competitions (guilds score points for battlecup/ranked)
  • Revamp region chat
  • Inhouse tournament interface and resources to host tourneys
  • Facebook and social media integration (Popular Facebook groups such as Dota Trading)
  • Most easily accessible through the front page, currently front page atm is mostly chests and useless clutter

Long term goals outside of simply MMR

Dota lacks any sense of progression. Even the profile trophy level is effectively meaningless. Dota at least used to have the old level up chest, which gave some kind of sense of reward for playing. Right now there is no incentive to play outside MMR.

  • Permanent quest and loot system, give the quest system long term goals adding meaning to specific rewards, Zeus skin for 1000 games.
  • Could add features such as server wide missions to reveal upcoming heroes / events / battle pass branches / chests

Regular updates and maintenance

  • Proof check and update tool tips, fix all of the poor talent explanations and even add an alt hover on talents even
  • Small balance passes (5-10% buffs/nerfs) on the game regularly, every 1-2months
  • No major patch lasting more than 6 months
  • Fixes to the watch tab, slow loading times, improper filtering, ordering of games, removal of cost of watching tournaments ingame, most want to watch the top tier games but has become difficult post ranked change
  • Fix current ingame items that are broken such as this HUD https://i.imgur.com/JSDQpwI.jpg

Unranked Draft Phase

  • Change or removed the unranked AP draft phase gone, my friends who play unranked seem to hate it, leads to frustration and counters which do not really have a place in a unranked environment

Behaviour system lacking

  • Behaviour should not be put ahead of player skill in most situations
  • Checking the reports with human oversight like CS:GO Overwatch.
  • Additional options on report such as boosting and scripting

More game customization

  • Profile customization, make it unique with loading screens and HUDs able to be used on profiles along with other items.
  • Custom hero grids
  • Custom item grids
  • Custom friend list and ability to filter friends
  • Loading screens used as backgrounds
  • Hero showcase, allowing you to show off your fav hero/set combo

Pro circuit integration

I can't stress this one enough. Dota's biggest appeal to many is its esports scene, and you'd barely even know it existed from the client alone. Having to access Pro Circuit points and standings and event times all on other third party sites is unacceptable. Even though Liquidpedia does a phenomenal job, it should be accessible in client, ESPECIALLY Minors and Majors, which are Valve sponsored events. Leaderboards should be visible in client too.

  • Pro circuit information, updates and a leaderboard all shown and accessed easily ingame
  • Circuit long fantasy competition to increase player investment in the circuit, prizes could be dota items but even some special rewards such as a chance to win a trip to TI / Major / Minor
  • Ingame match ticker and news feed so all players can see when games are coming up, should be located on front page

Fix the Arcade:

  • Provide Arcade with either a small scale permanent state version of the game, still located inside Dota (so that custom games don't require massive fixes every patch) OR Valve take care each patch to ensure they do not destroy the entire Arcade. This could even be by giving Arcade developers more time to prepare for patches, forewarning of what is changing on the backend, etc.
  • New games find it difficult, if not impossible, to break into the current scene of Arcade games, leading to new games stopping development and dying, and even popular games slowly fade due to boredom because they are only games being played (see: ReIncarnation RPG).
  • Every game should have dedicated servers, new games are often unplayable due to latency

Bring back events

We used to have events every few months which many players appreciated, some of my friends favorite thing about dota was seeing who could go the furthest in some of these events such as the Year Beast, appealing to many casual players. Valve should be having a major event every 6 months. Events such as:

  • New Bloom
  • Diretide
  • Dark Moon
  • Frostivus
  • Wraith-Night
  • Siltbreaker

Items

Workshop creators sold out, reduced profit margins, exclusivity of being included in immortal sets / TI / battlepasses leaves any leftout in the cold https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/62991t/the_dota_2_workshop_and_its_ecosystem_are_dying/

  • Cosmetic value balance in general, cosmetics are generally now worthless or high price, variance across cosmetics seems weak
  • Getting rid of features that some enjoyed such as item crafting from scrolls and item deleting with a chance to get a higher quality tier item, this might be problematic now with so many items but could still be implemented in a different way

Tutorial

  • Create a brand new tutorial system, one that entices, inspires and shows new players the true potential of the game, would lead to many new players entering the game
  • Tutorial could even have a few different branches aimed at different aspects of DOTA, allowing even older players to train and improve their skills even while waiting on queues ie. Tower / Creep last hitting

There is no excuse for Valve not updating the game with the amount of money and resources they have, we should expect more from Valve than what they give us. The goal of this isn't to directly criticize Dota itself as a game, but to look at the lack of focus and failure of Valve to keep the game and community moving forward. Just wanted to mention that many of these features have been in the game at some point or another, Valve can do it and should bring some of these features and ideas back. In general, Valve has had a real problem with implementing potentially great features and then either leaving them incomplete (such as spectate from Steam Browser) or removing them altogether (item recipes anyone?).

EDIT Removed the unranked draft phase idea

EDIT Added (reveal) on unlocking heroes

EDIT Added Tutorial + Rephrased unlocking heroes, supposed to be server-wide goals such as ie Cutting 1 million trees to reveal a new hero

Petition to Valve: Unusual Amaterasu Courier (OKAMI HD)

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 09:06 AM PST

Hello Valve, please make the Amaterasu courier unusual so we can put ethereal gems in it. Specifically, the gem that makes a trail of grass and flowers so that it replicates what Amaterasu looks like in the newly released Okami HD. Thank you. Please upvote for visibility!

EDIT: Amaterasu is not tradeable or marketable.

EDIT2: Thank you for getting this to the subreddit front page. Let's hope Volvo sees this.

The reverse psychology worked!

7.07 increased the XP range from 1300 to 1500, but the assist gold AoE is still 1300.

Daily reminder that Medusa's ult sound is STILL bugged since the duration change months ago.

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 01:59 AM PST

It's still incredibly obnoxious but seems to change every minor update, not in a good way. For example a few weeks ago it would play the first 1 second normally and then loop the 'scream' sound until the end.

Currently it plays the first 0.5 seconds normally, then keeps looping that sound (the start of the 'scream') and then just keeps playing that sound along with the middle part of the 'scream' sound.

I would upload a video of it since it's hard to imagine what I just described, but I don't have a screen recording.

EDIT: Here's a sound file of its current sound(sound warning, loud as fuck) here

Can we have a Battle Pass, please?

Posted: 13 Dec 2017 03:47 AM PST

It's like the biggwst motivation for me and my friends to play together. I really like the sense of having a goal when we play together, and earning rewards.

Now it seems like 2017 is gonna be the first to not have Winter Battle Pass and that's really sad. Me and the boys are gonna spend holiday playing DotA without actually playing it and just AFK in the main menu because normal and ranked games are so stale.

(And I know you guys would suggest custom games but we don't really have a common preference in this matter.)

Please, show ally parties in the picking phase

Posted: 12 Dec 2017 11:34 AM PST

It would be very helpful to see how the team is structured.

  • to adjust your pick to give them the same lane or to strengthen their synergy

  • to better notice their combos and understand their game plan

  • to not be confused by their invisible communication

  • to communicate better by knowing that in some cases one of them can speak for the whole party
