In just about all games, cosmetics have replaced verbal socialization to mirror real-life fashion obsession. There's psychological and marketing forces behind that shit and it's a rabbit hole of its own.

Radioactive disco pony was pretty atrocious.Did you prefer hoho haha patch or radioactive disco pony patch?
But I still get shivers when I hear shrapnel get fired

Ok, you got me on that one. Forgot that Lina Inverse was from some anime. Marci is far more egregious, as she is literal fanfiction for Dota, while Lina is just an anime character. Fits better thematically as well, as a good pair to Crystal Maiden (fire mage and ice mage). Been so long though that I don't remember if Lina used a custom model in WC3 Dota or not.

Dota 1 had alot of dumb references the modders put in. Like how all of Doom abilities were taken from Blue mages from Final Fantasy and Venomcaner was a Hydralisk. Also here is Lina's Dota 1 model.

I remember when Light Strike Array used to lag the game because of the particle effects. And I wish they never removed Doom's LVL Death ability, I always thought it was cool. Allowed for hilarious random power spikes when your nuke would just do insane damage vs heroes.

Why is it they can't even understand English every fucking time. It's the common tongue of man all over the fucking planet. They can't even fathom a shared language. Even when they aren't running it down or griefing me directly they will be sure to put their swill attempt at communication in post game chat. What I would give for a containment server all for just them. If you can't fucking communicate on even basic objective calls like "rosh" you really have no business being able to even queue into my game.

Funny enough I'll yell at them to speak fucking English and they'll write back kill yourself. The world as a whole would be better we banned Latinx from it.

I localized DotA 2 on Steam and at one point the officials pushed to translate hero names. Like, the one fucking thing that is universal, as you said: "ROSH!!!!". Granted that's a name but yknow. They -really- wanted names translated for Artifact which was fine but broke the universe all the same.
Man I've zero interest in DotA but I've been thinking back on how me and all my homies played different roles and read the patch notes for different things and followed different streamers. Shit was a cool sense of 'maining' not seen since I guess fighting games. Even hero shooters are role based. I wanted to master Chen, sending people to fountain etc, shit they never got used to cause nobody plays him well. Every little buff to him was a huge win.
Now I look at what creeps and jungle drops are like and I'm confused.

Honestly for all the modern problems that dota has, valve has done a pretty good job of making the new features intuitive.
Like it looks confusing but it is honestly really simple!

They don't even understand Spanish. They're illiterate subhumans. They are unable to learn or process external stimuli. They don't understand the concept of "cause and effect" nor do they comprehend theory of mind.
Why do they keep running in 1v5 and dying? They don't think they'll die because they can't plan ahead that far. Why do they blame you for not going to help them? Because they don't know that each person has a separate mind and that you can't understand their thoughts.
You tell them to do something, they will ignore you. You tepl them to push lane, nothing happens. You tell them in Spanish, "empuja la linea", they don't react. You ping and draw a little line on the map, no reaction. They're a brain in a jar disconnected from anything. They only produce noise, they don't absorb information. They see the entire enemy team coming to gank them under ward vision and they still die because their eyes see the image but their brain is not processing it.
After several thousand hours of dota I have never met a single peruvian I could tolerate. I am now legitimately racist, see them as less than human and wish they'd all die in a nuke.

New hero came out.
There's a lot of text but it looks like it's just eight different ways to hit the enemy.

Is Kez any good? Anytime a new hero comes out people spite ban them, so they're barely in any game. Played only 1 game with a Kez in it last night and that wasn't a good indication of the hero since I went 19-1 as Huskar and ended the game fast.
It's just troll warlord with an entire toolkit that swaps. Then again, back in the day, whirling/throwing axes used to be locked to whatever style troll was currently in. And now throwing axes have a attack speed lowering proc.

I played one game and lost. I don't know what he does so I just pressed all the abilities at once. Also played him as a 4 but pretty sure he's a core.

He's fine. He's a high complexity agi carry in a meta where agi carries are in a rough spot unless they have some kind of gimmick. His winrate is somewhere in the 30 percent range right now because everyone wants to touch the shiny new thing but no one knows how to press the buttons.
