I know it's beating a dead MOBA horse at this point, but I got kind of nostalgic of the times when DotA actually tried somehow to compete.
>DotA is afraid of change! Holey moley I didn't think bait like this was possible.
heres your (you) user
Nolan Richardson
Playing this garbage
Can you still kite anyone that is melee because ranged is so fucking op?
Carson Gomez
Ranged (ADC) is mediocre right now, because it doesn't scale too well and assassins are bursty as fuck.
Christopher Powell
>LoL >includes or improves all features and changes >only now adding sandbox mode people demanded shit for years, only now when the game is losing popularity does riot decide to act.
Hunter Green
AD carries suck because Riot nerfed every single viable build except one which is extremely expensive.
Jeremiah Sanchez
> Losing popularity
Where? You mean during the off-season of the LCS/LCK?
Because it's actually growing. Outside investors are now interested in funding LCS teams. Their players are starting to get a salary that's actually worth the amount of time they spend playing the game, and Riot has officially started to include paid sponsors during their broadcasts. It's much bigger than it was even last year.
Just because you're a shut in who doesn't like the game does not mean it is losing popularity.
Jaxon Smith
Sure w/e delude yourself further
Luis Howard
>entire genre is birthed from mods >barely any allow for modding in them and the big one that does gives it a tertiary status to the point where they don't care that they broke the shit out of it in their last big update
Cooper Parker
Not true or even close to accurate. They just buffed lethality builds hard.
C'mon people. If you're gonna shit on a game, let's get some feeling. This shit is weak as fuck.
Aiden Cox
Weird, I was going to say the same to you.
Since you're spitting in the face of actual facts and all.
Not what I was implying at all, but I guess if you really need to damage control, don't let me stop you.
So you missed last year's EULCS Finals? Or the LCS finals? And clearly the entirety of Worlds.
Ah, who am I kidding. You're gonna sift through YouTube and cherry pick the least crowded show like that has any affect on your argument.

Chase Sanders
Well no one is going to know that until after this season and the numbers come in. As of now it's just conjecture on your part based on.. ? and whatever in-market research the companies who actually invested money into the team decided.

>>DotA 2 still afraid to make even the slightest improvement in fear of triggering it's austists into violent "it's a feature!" screeching
Bait. Autists were screaming because the new HUD was garbage and they've fixed it now.
The game makes massive changes every year. The map terrain is nothing like couple years ago and they've ironed out a lot of inconsistencies like orb stacking and universal damage that new players couldn't wrap their head around. The new trait system have also revived a bunch of heroes or given them new playstyles.
Matthew Thomas
>The map terrain is nothing like couple years ago
I'd like you to post a side by side picture of both maps overviews so everyone but drones can laugh at you.
Samuel Price
Funny, a year ago they changed ADC into broken faggotry that could burst down anyone very quickly. This is why I dropped the game and refuse to play it anymore; there's no consistency. They keep turning the entire fucking game upside down.
Jeremiah Cruz
>DotA autists are screaming whenever even the slightest change hits their game >This is bait, because the community was screaming about a change
What?
Josiah Sanchez
Bard is one of the best designed characters in a video game ever. Shit gameplay though
Ryan Watson
Bard is fuck as fuck, it's just sad that W and E don't do anything, E especially.
Nathaniel Ross
>"it's a feature!" screeching
I thought OP was talking about removing denying like lol did.
David Powell
If by best designed you mean garbage kit and extremely easy to slaughter, sure.
Hudson Lopez
Couldn't find in game footage of the entire maps, but here's a broad generalization. The new one has much more juke paths in the trees that don't show up on the pictures.

I said he sucks in game. I like his actual design as a character. He's extremely unique.
Oliver Bennett

Is this bait?
Lucas Barnes
Gee, almost the exact same. I'll never understand the appeal of this shit, especially when I see people with 7k-10k hours and shit. Its the same fucking thing on the exact same map every single game.
Leo Phillips
Its fun. :^)
Owen Cox

I don't even wanna know what types of games you play.

Benjamin Moore
It still has three lanes yes, but almost the entire jungle, river and shop locations are completely different. Dota2 plays are made in these small paths of LoS around the map: controlling areas, maximising the best routes for safety, farm and advantage.
You obviously have no idea how the game plays.
Hunter Lopez

Escaping with tunnels and stunning whoever was chasing you is really fun as well.

Shitty faceless void's ultimate, and retarded gimmick that didn't work since you have to spoonfeed your adc for 30 minutes so he doesn't get assraped without flash.
Jason Davis
Never touched LoL Spent ~1400h in Dota 2 with friends. We even launched national tournaments and had sponsors but Dota was never big in my country.
Slowly getting bored at a game that never really tried to innovate and stuck in a perpetual cancerous meta/community.
Almost stopped 1y ago, only playing once a week with friends. Barely felt any joy playing, just wished for the game to end to go do other things. Waiting 45 minutes for a game to finish when you already know it's lost at pick phase...
Uninstalled in November, sold everything I had on Steam market, made about $75 from virtual pixels I collected over the years. Feelz good.
Once you stop playing any MOBAs you realize how much of a time sink they are for almost nothing. You begin to enjoy and retrieve a sense of pleasure from playing other game. You get rid of cancer.
