Good morning to the Dota2 development team! :)

It's 7 am on Seattle so I just wanted to wish a good and productive day to all the dev team from our favorite game. Also, I just remember now, the last big non gameplay update (Dota plus) was released on Monday. Maybe we could celebrate this day with the release of something we all know and wish :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

EPICENTER XL: you did it, Reddit!

Posted: 07 May 2018 04:48 AM PDT

It's probably a bit late for this as you've already covered each and every aspect of the event we've just hosted. Nevertheless I still want to say a few words.

This has been by far the most difficult event in my esports life. We faced all possible kind of issues along those insane 10 days and I am extremaly grateful to all the teams and all the talents for their patience and understanding.

Paul has taught us a lot about the small production bits that help make the show more enjoyable to watch. Kyle proved himself as a great panelist. Cap rocked it in his shorts while barely able to walk. Bulldog turned out to be not just a meme master, but a Major Finals caster able to work in front of an almost 10k live audience speaking a completely different language. Grant and Breaky, Pidgeon and Bkop, Nomad and Mofarah, they all brought something new to the Major scene (oh my word) and I really wish we will see them more in the next season. GoDz and ODPixel, who seem to be around since forever, yet never cease to amaze us. I salute all of you, gentlemen!

This year we've tried to do the things differently and not all of them worked the way we expected. And our team is grateful for all the feedback you provided. It will help us improve our next events and make them even more EPIC! Tank you all!

Dear IceFrog/Valve, make river vials unlimited use, but with a limit.

Posted: 07 May 2018 05:57 AM PDT

I had a level 2500 battle pass and am actually upset that I never really used mine that much due to hoarders mentality.

River vials should have a 24 hour cool down, that way, you can't spam them and they still feel special, but also we can use them without your brain going into "BUT WE ONLY HAVE 10 CHARGES, HOW WILL WE MANAGE" mode.

I know the TI Compendium is already 100 percent set in stone but maybe for next TI.

Thanks,

Signed a guy who didn't even use all his badass Blood River vial charges because he's a dumbass.

Edit: I've just been reminded that I'm old and last year it was one use per match/unlimited. So just keep it that way. Thanks fam.

Idea for punishment system

Posted: 07 May 2018 07:23 AM PDT

Make it appear on a person's feed. Among "player snatched aegis" or "finished 2nd in BattleCup", add also "player received 4 wins of low priority due to excessive reports" or "player had his chat privileges revoked for 24h" and so on.

Such simple concept of deterrence via social pressure and hopefully a bit of stigmatization. Most people acting toxic in pubs are not by nature irreparably toxic and this extra bit of deterrence would go to great lengths, I believe.

Some interesting things concerning LGD winning epicenter in Chinese scene

Posted: 07 May 2018 03:55 AM PDT

  1. After the regretful defeat in DAC, Maybe posted a Weibo saying, "I doesn't think it's the closest time for me to get a champion, because one day and sonner I will claim a champion by myself. Somebody may tell me better not to be cocky, but confidence is just what it needs to be a pro. " Now he fulfils his ambition and it's also the first international Champion for Maybe since he joined the scene in 2014.
  2. During this Epicenter, Maybe got a new nickname "ChangPing Savage". ChangPing is a district in Beijing, which is maybe's home and savage refers to his rough beard. Maybe's explanation was that he forgot bringing his shaver. But a new meme was created. Since vp.Noone has been a dominating mid player for a long time and he has rough beard too, it's said that maybe deliberately keep his beard unshaved to evolve into "savage mode", which is why Maybe is so scary in this Major. An example of this meme: Kaka: " Sccc, from now on, don't shave your beard anymore!"
  3. Chinese fans ironicly call Miracle's kunkka the combo of miracle, which means that Miracle's X-mark, torrent and ghostship combo ends up only hitting a X-mark. It didn't happen in the grand final, but it did happen in the group stage.
  4. After DAC, 357, the coach of LGD explained why LGD made so many mistakes in game 3 and 5. He said that coming from the LB and continuing playing 8 intense games was extremely exhausting. We think it's also true with Liquid. Many liquid fans, esp miracle fans in China also believe Liquid had the chance to win game 1 and 3 but they just threw it. Maybe they are exhausted after the fight with FTM since it was a hard bo3.
  5. You may know that Ame and burning have a bad relationship, but it may be unknown to you that there is a rumor saying Ame was originally a fan of Burning and Burning invited Ame to Dk to play pro. However ,Ame was still in high school at that time. When Ame finished high school and came to burning, burning didn't keep his promise so Ame ended up in LGD. It's a rumor, but it's generally acknowledged that Ame always sets Buring as an idol and tries to suppass him. Last night, after lgd won the champion, burning almost cried in his streaming. He must got eomtional seeing new generation of carry players make such achievements.

Will there be a new 'Siltbreaker' in ti8?

Posted: 07 May 2018 06:20 AM PDT

Personally, siltbreaker was one of my favourite things about last years battlepass. Was hoping we might get another campaign this year? What do you guys think? Likely or unlikely?
