what is it faggot

dumb frogposter

A talentless hack that created a quite complex and fun warcraft mod which hellspawned an entire faggot genre that is more popular than warcraft itself.

...

7.07 when I've been playing Siege for weeks

Can I play on the old map yet?

No?

Fuck off gabenfrog

>muh map

Vuze torrent or something, unless it's utorrent, qbitorrent tier now it's still shit though

Stopped playing when they ruined Techies.

It's been way too long since the last big update and the game is stagnating quite a lot.
I don't belive 2 updates per year is going to work out, it has to be at least 3.

valve's said they want to release more heroes quicker

The new map is trash.

I'd be happy with 2-3 a year like how, you know, icefrog used to do it before working fulltime at Valve.
The worst part is this huge hole of no new heroes left by the 5 years it took Valve to add the last handful of pre-existing heroes.

It's been 2 a year since 2015 so I assume that they will release 3-4 from now on

> Techies is still useless against actually-intelligent players

Stop procrastinating, Mr. Lizard.

He was useful for a small window and has only been getting nerfed since then.

7.0 ruined techies by making it so you don't even need detection to demine.

18+

techies is cancer and I report all techie pickers

what's icefrog like nowadays?

to me he, was always this silent lord of balance who avoid the spotlight and work behind the scenes, but this was back in warcraft 3

did that ever change?

That's fine, the real killing blow was the little noise that gets played when you trigger a land mine.
At least give us the ability to arm or unarm land mines and stasis traps.

>not just utilizing your 1000 damage, 7 seconds aoe silence instead.

Since Dota 2 he's kinda become obsessed with "NEW META", or at least pressured into changing things up for the e-sports scene and sacraficing balance to do so.

Many heroes we knew and loved are pretty much dead, because they insisted on reworking heroes from the ground up rather then adding in a new hero with new abilities.

i appreciate your efforts for shitposting.
But ice frog din't even create dota.

He now has access to the complete dataset of every dota 2 game ever played at every skill level.
For better or worse.

Eul Created Dota
Billions of Dota clones came afterwards
Guinsoo stole all the popular cloned heroes and made "Dota Allstars"
Icefrog took over DotA Allstars when Guinsoo left to make jewgolds, and fixed the fucking game.

You have to be mentally under 18 to find DotA enjoyable.

hes the same. as you can see he doesnt post much

Forgot to mention that Eul also works at Valve and he was the one that pretty much single handedly designed and balanced siltbreaker.

>heroes are reworked for balancing purposes
woow

>mentally under 18 to enjoy a complex game

You reminded me old Pudge, GoD, old Invoker, Gambler and Dark Terminator.

I miss pre 7.0 techies. He was so much fun.

Dota's dead to me but I'll always respect creators like icefrog over wannabe e-celebs who think they are big deals

thanks for indulging me user

>balance
You don't know how dota used to be balanced so i'll forgive you but we're reaching HON levels of stupid when it comes to reworks.

More heroes are unplayable in PUBs more then ever.

>follow build guides on the internet verbatim
>complex

When are you adding loli Pugna?

>follow build guides on the internet verbatim
hope this is bait

Yeah thats modern DotA.

We used to have massive 1000+ page threads on how to play heroes in different situations in old dota forums, now its all the same.

This is what I want to know.

While they are at it, add pic related.

>Rubick, CK, and PL will never get new voice lines again

>tfw you pioneered builds like blademail (when it was passive) carry lich and gank tinker back when people thought he was a offlane hero

you're retarded, especially if you follow a guide. the average player is much better than the average dota 1 player who built random garbage

only shitters use guides. if you can't use your brain to come up with a good build or decide which ability to level up next you probably shouldn't be playing these games.

>tfw in dota 1 you just build BoT, Perseverance->Linkens and SnY followed by Rapier or Bloodstone

Nigga you can look at the difference between dota 1 and dota 2 guides.

Dota 2 is "YOU MUST RUSH BUILD THISSSSSS!!!" and Dota 1 guides actually considered early game items, like getting a 1 bracer for stats before even getting a core item component

That's stupid, with the massiv increase of information interchange on the internet ideas just boil down much more quickly and everyone is exposed to pro level games now, too.
Optimal playstyles are just found within month now instead of requiring of people who have literally no idea what they are talking about discussing every single hero for 1000 pages in some corner of the internet.

If anything, with the talent tree system, it's possible to have greater diversity of different roles/builds on the same hero now.

Am I the only one who came in here thinking it was an Azureus/Vuze thing?

Diversity of games are not possible with NEW META dota, its too fast.

>Icefrog
>Talentless hack

Companies put together hundreds of people to ATTEMPT to accomplish what he does alone.

Proximity Mines have been functionally the same since 7.00, and any player with a brain would have backed off the moment they saw one, or defused it. All the sound did was lower the MMR cut-off where no one is fooled anymore, along with defusing the "hide them in trees lmao" tactic, which was every bit as cancerous as old Land Mines. Idiots are deaf as well as blind and will still die, and people walking into 3-mine traps + stasis still die, sound or not.

If they can easily demine, you're a shit Techies putting mines in shit places.

Level 20 talent aside, Blast Off is still situational. It's unreliable deny the later the game gets, it gets accidentally interrupted if you jump into CC, and it doesn't stop carries from turning around and getting a free kill the moment you land unless you gib them.

Source? I didn't know Eul was at Valve now, but it might explain why Siltbreaker was actually interesting.

you're seriously delusional if you think item variety in dota isn't top notch

very few heroes have MUST BUILD items like Tinker and BoTs. Even classic builds like BFury AM is still super fun to play because he's a farming god.

Meanwhile you have heroes who can literally make any item in any situation like
>Shadowfiend
>Nature's Prophet
>Ember Spirit

>people got better and refined optimal item builds
alright

>NEW META is too fast
True that, everything feels like fuckiing -EM now it disgusts me

Imagine

Icefrog's Dota 2 :^)

RIP, Rubick arcana ruined

Eul has helped Valve in 2012 with the Blizzard/Riot lawsuit over the Dota trademark and he's been hired by them in 2013 apperently.

Best I can find right now is some old playdota thread on it
