(I've never played DOTA 2 and only casually played the original.)
The issue is that Valve wants comebacks because people need to feel that the have a good shot even if they're falling behind. In practice, these comeback mechanics are just stalemate mechanics. The "late game" carries of beta are gone. Every character has late game now. Only infinitely scaling heroes like Medusa and Legion are truly late game.
Well yeah, no one who plays a PvP game wants to get bumfucked just because their team didn't get first strike. But part of playing PvP is learning how to maintain momentum when you're winning and regain it when you're not. If you can't regain momentum and fall further and further behind, you are going to lose. That is less fun than winning, but it's part of playing any game.
I looked up how bounties are calculated, and you're right. It just encourages both teams to play defensively, when ideally the leading team would play defense, and the opponents would be more aggressive to regain momentum.
TF2 and CS2 players sends their condolences to you. We'll all be replaced by Deadlock soon enough.sorry Valve broke your game broski
People keep saying that Muerta is best as pos 4, but going shooty shooty bang bang bang is much more satisfying.
shame that deadlock isn't a good game but it seems valve will force everyone to play that shit by making other games shittier.
gaytarded hero role slotting is some gay shit from league of faggots, don't know why dota2 is trying to adopt that retarded idea when people that play dota2 don't like that shit, else they would be playing league of faggots.
Muerta is such a weird case, she's a victim to the powercreep and design mishmash that plagues Dota these days. Because everyone needs to have a meme mobility and meme waveclear ability and be tanky as fuck now, Muerta which has neither and is fragile really suffers.
This. Bring back the camps I can stack in the midlane immediately.
Because role queue. People throwing over roles forced the game design to mandate roles when before you had teams doing crazy shit.
that sucks because during the beta test dota 2 was trying it's best to copy most of the mechanics from WC3 dota where roles were something you felt like doing rather than being forced to like in LoF, the few pages mentioning people not pushing makes me conclude that either these players are retarded because they want to play it safe or towers got massively buffed and i don't know which is worse but i understand as dota2 never inherited all of the damage mechanics from WC3 one with stuff like hero armor and normal damage creeps have which was a main gripe that many migrating players had but at least towers were easy to kill, i booted up 6.83 and have been noticing that people are taking barathum top and throw a bitchfit if you ask them to shadow charge someone early game because "their build is incomplete" unless they think they can deal the killing blow rather than getting assistance money, it's like these people want to use the hero skillset to fill a retarded role rather than comboing the skills on a enemy as a one way ticket to fountain and push the lane.
it seems that the players that would mock anyone asking for this shit and telling them to go play league of faggots/HoN have grown tired of the game and left, i can easily guess the answer but i will ask anyway: do new heroes skillset have a sort of implied role focus to them? if so then DotA1/2 got hit with the league of faggots stick, damn, they will probably follow the retarded trend of releasing a new hero OP as fuck to nerf later rather than being a cointoss like when undying was shit once released until they buffed him on dota1.
yes, additionally the most recent hero Kez is not only voiced by an enormous faggot with characater lines that sound written by Joss Whedon for a capehit movie, but he also has the ability to swap between two weapons with 8 skills in total that all have impossibly complicated effects like a league of legends character. When you're up against a kez it literally feels like he has everything: projectile, jump, dash, invisibility. he just constantly whips out new shit.
kled is the example of WHYTHEFUCKTHEREISSOMUCHTEXT.
