[2014-12-10 05:23:38 UTC] SRAW I need to ask you a few questions. [2014-12-10 05:23:48 UTC] Please try to be as forthcoming as possible. [2014-12-10 05:24:27 UTC] To ensure quality of your answers this may involve Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. [2014-12-10 16:45:27 UTC] You can suck Gabe's dick SRAW, it's ok. [2014-12-10 19:07:17 UTC] The line is too long. No one wants to wait that long. [2014-12-10 20:44:38 UTC] Where did i ever say that I like Gabe? [2014-12-10 20:44:57 UTC] I said that DOTA now sucks because of all the ridiculous gameplay changes that were introduced in the recent patches [2014-12-10 20:46:09 UTC] i remember in 6.80 when the largest gameplay change was that the safelane was changed so that the offlaner would have an easier time, and this simply meant that more hereos were viable but it was still possible to zone him out [2014-12-10 20:46:50 UTC] now you have stuff like TWO RUNES spawning, you get vision of ROSHAN WHEN HES UNDER ATTACK? to counter pushing lineups, they added a REFRESHED GLYPH WHEN A T1 FALLS? [2014-12-10 20:47:32 UTC] well the glyph was cool actually [2014-12-10 20:47:37 UTC] BUT THE REST OF THE CHANGES ARE COMPLETE BS [2014-12-10 22:30:39 UTC] I think that big changes are good. A never changing meta was the reason I got bored of LoL. You might consider switching there Shrew [2014-12-10 22:31:39 UTC] The two runes spawning is actually great. The new rune that is always the other rune is weak but good for supports and it also very much buffs the otherwise nerfed to ground bottle and makes the mid player able to be more active if he wishes [2014-12-10 22:32:04 UTC] I have no idea where you got the idea of getting vision of Rosh when he's under attack from. [2014-12-10 22:32:50 UTC] Possibly from certain spells still (!) bug out and show it's visual effect through fow [2014-12-10 22:33:25 UTC] Or from the new actually OP new runespot that most surely will be nerfed, that gives vision of Rosh [2014-12-10 22:33:58 UTC] The refresh glyph on t1 towers is actually horrible. If it removed like 50% or more instead of 100% of the CD it'd be fine. [2014-12-10 22:34:26 UTC] Now there's no thinking about using the glyph or not. Even if you don't want to defend the tower you still glyph because there's no reason not to. [2014-12-10 22:35:10 UTC] No requirement to think. I know why you like it Shrew. God damn I'm hilarious. [2014-12-10 22:43:19 UTC] I havent played it yet, i just read the changelog [2014-12-10 22:45:35 UTC] and the two runes is not good because one of the fun parts of dota was about rune luck and how getting small things like that can completely chnage the game and give you an advantage [2014-12-10 22:46:08 UTC] in this case it seems to cater to noobs who complain that they get owned in mid cause their opponents have wards and rotating supports [2014-12-10 22:46:56 UTC] of course they raised the price of the bottle.. by 50 gold [2014-12-10 22:47:11 UTC] like this will deter people from buying bottles even more now that there are TWO runes [2014-12-10 22:47:25 UTC] sSERIOUSLY icefrog just retire, and admit you made mistakes with the last patch [2014-12-10 22:47:51 UTC] dota used to be fun, then it became unfun after 6.81, and now with this latest patch, looks like its gonna be filled with casual NOOBS [2014-12-10 23:07:11 UTC] They increased the price of the bottle by 50 gold twice, but it was heavily nerfed by the bottle crow nerf [2014-12-10 23:07:27 UTC] So, 100 gold more which makes rushing bottle harder, no bottle crowing [2014-12-10 23:08:10 UTC] Also rotating supports can and is still done but there are now 2 runes. There's still the same luck because the new rune is basically only worth to refill bottle [2014-12-10 23:08:59 UTC] Standing on the rune and a haste spawns is still as powerful, except that if your team doesn't stop the enemy bottle carrier from taking the bot rune you're a bit worse off, but honestly it's an improvement [2014-12-10 23:53:30 UTC] thats what i mean, they nerfed bottle crowing but made it easier to refill by getting runes which is an easier mechanic for newbies to understand [2014-12-10 23:54:30 UTC] the fact that they raised the fountain area too is just more evidence of the casualation of dota [2014-12-10 23:54:33 UTC] if that makes sence [2014-12-10 23:56:19 UTC] ill go and read more of the changelog to see where else they decided to make dota even MORE casual
