Anyone feeling an improvement to their matches since Overwolf for DotaPlus functionality was disabled? I haven't been able to play since they pushed the change.

I've been playing ogre as a 3 and 4 (and sometimes as a 2 if I am lucky) and I've have had many of my teammates believe I am griefing for buying Midas. Some games I can understand that mindset when we are behind and I need other items for the team first like aether, force staff, or lotus, but on ogre eventually there is a part in the game where my nextworth make it worthwhile. I wish my teammates would understand this.

Also Invoker
 
The real improvement in dotes is playing turbo matches while shitfaced with your homies, now that's a quality experience.

That sounds like it would overload my brain! Turbo is already enough of a change of pace for me.
 
New Patch is out
>7.32E
Fucking Valve still can't push a full patch??
Changes are pretty minor, meta is still basically the same except:
  • Razor shard nerfed so spell damage build not great anymore
  • Riki Support btfo (thank god)
idk everything else is pretty whatever, like it's hard to even care about shit like the Lion buffs when supports with no BKB piercing spells are still going to be completely useless in team fights.
i took a major break from this game waiting for a new patch and this is clearly not what we should've gotten... Ever since Covid valves been pushing out half the kahntent they used too; is Valve prepping to give this game the TF2 treatment or some shit?:stress:

"The Dead Reckoning Update has a lot of features we’re really proud of — a new hero, item sets, a mini-game. But we get it. Many of you were hoping for Patch 7.33.

We’ve been working on an ambitious gameplay patch for a while, and we were hoping to get it done in time for this update. We’re currently aiming to release it in late April. So in the meantime, while we put the finishing touches on it, enjoy the Dead Reckoning Update and Patch 7.32e."

I too feel like there needs to be a bigger change to the game, but it's coming soon. At least we did not have to wait another month and a half for what we got today.

Yes, before the change I had to put my profile on private because every single game someone would ban one or more of my most played supports, and I only play support. Getting rid of seeing profiles in pre game is good too because I can actually have a real profile now and not feature level 1 techies in every slot.
 
I'm going to give you a very very very secret Nightstalker build. You need to promise me that you won't tell anyone alright?

Are you alone? Okay...

No blink though? I feel like it's required on Nightstalker today.

The playstyle is very different, you don't build beefy and then engage on their casters. You abuse pathing with ult and roam, later on blowing people up in 2-3 hits before they can react.
Ult gives a ton of damage so if you stack attack speed and put your points into E early on you outcarry everyone else in the midgame. Build BKB if you need it, but usually just go for stun if you're steamrolling which you usually are.
In testing, a 1v1 Wraith King with 6 slots will lose to this NS build, and you hit 5-6 items fast because you have 2 acceleration items. NS doesn't suffer from the timing of Midas because his timings revolve around day/night in the early game, not items. You don't need shard because you sustain from Mask and once you speed into Crystalys you just run people down nonstop.

Don't even think about asking me about my Tinker POS 5.

What MMR bracket have you been playing this in? Sounds interesting, but don't know if it would work in mine. Maybe as a POS 1.
 
Upcoming patch:
Nothing
or
Dota 3?

I'm leaning towards nothing. They haven't made a significant change in a really long time. Not expecting a letter patch where they change a few numbers around, but one or two new items and maybe one or two """"reworks"""", but no big changes like Roshan re-location or massive shakeups.

Hope I'm wrong.

I think a map change is inevitable. IIRC THE last map "changes" were moving the outposts back a bit and moving bounty rune spawns. Something is most definitely in the works if they had to delay this patch by a month and a half.
 
Was thinking of making a mod for DotA. If a new update comes, it will fuck everything up. I'd better wait...
