Dota 2 Thread: REBORN SOURCE 2 HYPETRAIN NOBRAKES

[Timeater]

of course not

i'm an 1800 hon player i know a thing or two

i'm just giving my opinion on some things. i could talk about it all day but eh.

[Timeater]

i find it fascinating how strong storm spirit is compared to doc repulsor. its true doc can be a nightmare but he feels like much more of a threat in dota because of 1) the whole "gotta click on someone to see their mana thing" and 2) the speed of the game, where his mobility is that much more of a factor. also i think the passive is slightly different i havent bothered looking it up

[DTMaster]

Pudding Pop!

[inte]

heck, windrunner is 2x more imbalanced than pl

pedit: lol 60% spell resist maxxed out is nothing to downplay

[Darox]

Never claimed Clinkz is a super hard carry. He's not. That's why he's so good.

PL is ridiculously hardcountered by true sight, and gets stomped for a very long time by any AoE spam. He's a very farm dependant carry.

[Timeater]

I wish hon had OD. :[

[Katsuki]

PL is ridiculously countered by a shitton of things.

He's not even that great of a hero, only thing he's really good at is pushing.

Comparatively, PL is a failed version of Broodmother.

[Darox]

PL is a better hard carry than Broodmother. Significantly so. Brood is pretty awful at that job.

[Katsuki]

A broodmother really shouldn't be playing in a 60min game. If she is, then well.

Give a PL 60mins, will still be significantly weaker than say a 60min farmed spec

Plus spec is so much more awesome so.

[Darox]

But Spectre is a garbage carry.
Her only gimmicks are being able to summon 5s illusions and having passive blademail.

[Staeg]

I considered spectre's largest gimmick to be Q-ing into trees so that nobody can kill you ever?

[Katsuki]

noooooooo spec is so awesome.

Only problem is that she's not good for play with pubs but still.

[Timeater]

lol sand wraith

just lol

though BB said he was good in dota so idk

[BBmolla]

Spectre had a bit of competitive play, but has sort of died down as of the late.

Spectre Stats

She's good in pubs because nobody stops her.

[BBmolla]

Furion is way too powerful atm imo

Picked/Banned every game.

Maybe because I always get shitty ass noob pubs who like trying to steal CS from spec when I play her.


Also, I never knew how nice it was to play dota2 without sound. So much less annoyign with no sound.

turn off unit voices and BGM

ez modo

[Katsuki]

Well I've been playing with no sound because I need headphones for listening to team, and have no speakers for new comp so.

[Darox]

3 new heroes, Gaben has clearly been 'enhancing' the coffee supply in order to get the full CM pool for the international.

The fix to neutrals is a pretty big one. They don't simply stand there when taking damage from invisible heroes anymore. Jungle Pudge & Jungle Storm just got a lot weaker. Jungle Dark Seer is still totally executable though.

[Staeg]

Jungle Pudge & Jungle Storm just got a lot weaker.

Jungle pudge definitely, but this is only a minor inconvenience to JSS, no?

[Darox]

Jungle Storm Spirit spends a lot of time standing still in range of the entire stacked camp dropping remnants on them. Having them run off every time will significantly increase the time it takes for him the clear the camp, to the point that smoke will wear off.

[Staeg]

I mean, I know that - but can't you manipulate where the mobs go so that they run into a wall/trees and return sooner, nearly on par for your remnant CD?

[Timeater]

looks neat!

[Katsuki]

Good update, oh how I've msised trolling pubs with KOTL.

Visage before techies or cent is lols though.

[DTMaster]

I just remember Visage being reworked many many times. I wonder if I could still play him. I miss the free flying bats of pushing/scouting ftw.
