Should I play Dota 2 again?
Haven't touched it since 2013-2014 and I remember it making me mad but I enjoyed how much it tested my abilities, and it wasn't boring like other stuff that does that but will actually improve my life(e.g. studying or reading).

I think it's gone to shit after 7.00
healing shrines
gold runes
denies give the enemy a percentage of gold now
I feel like the made the complicated game more complicated and friendly to new comers
video games are a massive waste of time, but so is Jow Forums so whatever go play it
Why is everything that isn't a waste of time so boring?
This is going on Reddit. Cya guys!!
>This is going on Reddit.
Uh oh
You are better off killing yourself.Your abilities mean shit when you have a zeam full of russian newborns. There are plenty of fun games games.Try Warframe,rocket league or some card game like Hearthstone
Idk, I'm playing dota since 2014 and I don't remember any time where I wanted to quit. On the other hand, it might test your abilities a bit but the real thing it'll test is your patience with either the following
-Russians
-Pinoys
-Little kids spamming invoker because they're the new miracle
As a btw, the game changed a lot, graphics gameplay and atmosphere, which if you ask me, all of them were improvments, but I'd see somebody wouldn't think so.
Tldr: NA OmegaLul and pango is best hero fight me
Warframe is so boring though, I legit feel like I'm playing a different game from what everyone else talks about when they suck the game's dick.
Everything is a massive waste of time, energy and space if you hate everything enough, or just not caring, both are good. As a little test, I suggest you start doing the ye old "don't breathe for an hour" exercise, it'll really open your mind and heart.
>Fun games
>Warframe
>Fun
The only two people I know who played the game quit after 2 years of straight grinding and are playing other games. Something something if they have to do the same mission again they're ripping their brains out
>inb4 "But those weren't REAL warframe players, those were just pussies who didn't suck the games dick hard enough"
Pango sounds like a disease.
STAY AWAY
IF YOU ARENT 14-17 YEARS OLD DONT TOUCH IT
IT COULD-WOULD SUCK YOU IN
IS A FUCKING ADDICTION PLAY CHESS OR SOMETHING ELSE
dota 2 makes me hate myself after losing a game. I guess I take losses pretty hard
Pango sounds like my big, french/spanish pangolin daddy
>Not gay btw
I played over 4000hours and quit because my team disbanded and soon after that I realized this game is trash solo.
Also all dat time wasted in losing matches where the enemy teams lead is too big to comeback but they wont finish. Makes you want to kill yourself.
fucking pinoys. I want to kill them all.
It's super fun for me
Pinoy here. What are you gonna do about it.
putanginamo chingchogn
I play Battlerite, no gay farming, more abilities and you can carry no matter what if you're good enough.
I'm suprised that gay little internet caffee you're in didn't kick you out from your rancid smell, but I guess they don't notice because it's the norm. Go eat some dogs or something stop going into EU west you fucking sea nigger
I dont think that pinoys would willingly queue in EU west unless they live there
I used to play it ages ago and got back a few weeks ago just prior to 7.20 release.
Yes it changed a lot, and the shrines are only useful really during laning stage and even then, not that much.
The gold runes have always existed, but in the past they gave gold+exp to the person who used it, not they removed the xp bonus and made it a teamwide gold bonus, also they gave them their own spawns, separate from other runes.
and yes, they were experimenting with denies, for a while denies gave the denier about 25%(?) xp, which meant good deniers leveled up faster on their lane compared to their opponent, they changed that now, denies gives a small amount of gold to the denier instead, honestly wouldn't be surprised if that changes in a major patch as well, seems like they're just experimenting with stuff.
But seriously, how is that casualizing the game? One of the few things that made dota more complicated than most other mobas were denies, and now they just put more pressure on denying.
>should I play a Moba
If you ever think yes consider suicide
You'd think so wouldn't you? You'd think they could only hurt themselfes, 400 ping min, can't talk with anybody and everyone hates you. Yet still, yet fucking still god occasionally descends on this mortal plane but not ti lead us to salvation, but to remind us of what we become, why he dares little to return to his creations, so he besets upon us a three stack of fucking 500 ping pinoys while my mate and I just want to grind some of that sweet, sweet mmr nectar. "I MID, I CARRY, I NO SUPP, I NO PLAY OFF, I PLAY JUNGLE LYCAN". These are the last things I hear before my sanity falls down to the endless pit that is this hell. This does happen every 50 or so games so it isn't so bad, but it is hell when it happens.
>Tldr: "I'm trying to buy a pangolin irl but now I'm on a watchlist pls help"
gold reason have NOT ALWAYS EXISTED you dense cunt.
They were added to normal spawns in dota 1
If you want to waste your life away sure go for it. Honestly the newest patch feels like a total meme, I'm pretty sure Icefrog has been killed and replaced by an impostor. Also absolutely hate how reddit gets to chime in on balance and changes with their 2k knowledge. Solo queue is barely worth playing, stacking can be fun on EU servers but not NA (retarded tryharding chink 5 mans every game when you just wanna meme)
yeah, I meant always existed in dota 2, nothing always existed since the start of dota as a whole, you gotta go all the way to starcraft to check the original dota.
I'm saying bounty runes always existed, they were only separated and changed in the 7.00 patch, by giving them their own spawn and making them a teamwide gold bonus.
Bounty runes have existed since 6.82 or 6.83 IIRC so for like 4 years.
why can't there be old versions on non valve servers
will that work
Let's not lie, the only time icefrog bothers to look at the game is 4 hours before he has to update it. I'm not saying that's bad, I like some fine chaos but in the end, nobody will tell me the patch is shit just because magmafrog went to play too many mods and decided to "borrow" some ideas.
>Hagdusjegdudj bounty steals gold like a fucking jew rheifufbejsofuemrvfj
Why in the name of our sweet lord pnagolier would you ever play an older version. Does sniper minibashing you for the lols be better than the fact that you can't be a total moron during the laning phase?
>inb4 you never played the old version I remember dota 1 it was way better
And I damn hope I never have to see the old version save for the ti3 games
6.88 was the best and most balanced patch in the history of the game
Most balanced version btw, truly, a hidden gem I haven't seen a game in a better state outside if 6.88. It was, as they say, beauty, almost as good as 6.86 or more commonly known, the balance of fuck ups, or the ww update, portable non-channeling black hole because memes or maybe the mk update or as I call it dota2. exe has stopped responding
Yes, dota 2 is fking awesome. Learn to redirect ur anger and you will play great.
Sand King is fun again. Remember when you could move a bit and recast sandstorm, and then the animation would stay at the old location, but damage in new location, and then chain this half way across the map? Sandstorm isn't that good again, but I'm still having a lot of fun playing pos 3 through 5 SK spam.
Don't you fucking dare to. It's been slowly turnning into a waste of time, litreally. You can find way better games than this on any other platform.Jus quit.
Btw, the amount of toxicity has increased throughout the past 2-3 years.
>Btw, the amount of toxicity has increased throughout the past 2-3 years.
No it fucking hasn't you shit, the only aggression I have seen in the past months has been people being passive aggressive shits. Maybe you are just garbage at Dota.
7.20 is the best the game has been since the intermediate days of 7.00, which were the best time for the game since TI3.
It is the GEATEST GAME OF ALL TIME if you are looking for a mental outlet, a place to improve and give yourself to.
It is seriously the best game, the most competitive and complicated platform there is.
If you are depressed don't touch it. You cant improve if you are not willing to give up everything to improve, and if you are even just slightly depressed you literally have nothing to give up to improve, so the whole experience will be a waste of time and will suck your soul out and make you even more depressed.
Go play some Oldschool runescape or whatever if you are looking for something fun. People there are actually pretty clever at times because its the most boring game and you have to find ways to entertain yourself and others.
7.06 was the most balanced version of the game, since practically every single hero was viable.
except Spectre
Do not play this game if you have mental health issues, I'm sick of fragile manchildren losing their shit 10 minutes in and throwing the game while being obnoxious and embarrassing themselves.
Do it senpai. I just started playing dota a year ago and it is pretty awesome. The new patch is definitely.not as bad as 7.00 or 7.07
for old computers and a less fast game of dota
Dude you have no idea what you are talking about.
There used to never be bounty runes.
Denies denied more.
Patches aren't even made to make the game more better or balanced they are just to stir shit up.
You were simply able to have a much greater impact on the game before by yourself.
True and false.
Patches are made to increase skill ceiling. For example the creep spawn boxes.
Most dipshit loser players consider this "dumbing down the game" while actually what it does is increase the skill ceiling, because now you have one less thing to worry about and you can spend your attention on other stuff and make it more high-skill.
Also call me scicophrenic, but i am pretty sure Icefrog looks at the top-dedicated players, figures out what their strengths are and balances the game to compliment their playstyle so they could win some money from tournaments and spread the good word of Dota2.
For example, topson was spamming zeus for a long time before he got all the buffs, the nimbus, etc. So icefrog just buffed him a little more. And what OG did, was look for a strong mid player who plays underrated heroes, they found topson, and they won the TI, with him picking Zeus in the grand finals.
Topson was fucking nobody before he played TI. Its the same with a lot of players. But this is a very wild theory so feel free to ignore it.

user, the game is not balaced around Topson, Topson was like 5th choice, because nobody else was available.
Dota became super difficult. Back then everyone was kinda shit but now everyone got like 3k hours.
But even after being the 5th choice, he got to the grand finals and won, despite never having played in a competitive tournament environment before in his life.
Think about that.
Dota2 is famous for making superstars out of nothing. You are a nobody spamming 2 heroes, and suddenly you win a TI.
Its not about the talent, its about the dedication.
Neither matters, you can always determine the winner by just looking at draft
Topson was not why OG won TI.
It was Ceb's being very smart about dota, Ana being the best player of all time and n0tail being so overwhelmed with anger that he played support again.
Take a look at all post-TI1 winners and figure out, which players where the crown-jewels in all teams.
The drafts and roles are irrelevant, its all about the mysterious potential of the unknown, underground players that wondered onto the main stage out of nowhere.
Dota2 is about stirring shit up, not about performing the best you can.
Otherwise the top earners of all time would all be chinese, because of the cultural discipline.
Dota is rly comfy. Actually only game I play nowadays and been that for 6 yrs.
Even better if you have friends and can 5man
y topson ermine invoker in finals
warframe is very fun at first, but eventually the novelty of being able to run on the walls and do cool stuff like that wears off and it becomes an addiction to continue leveling up weapons to increase mastery rank
Im guessing either
1.)pinoys accidently queue on your server
2.)Your behavior score sucks
3.)Your shadowpooled
No.
2GD is gone, and so is the humour. You have to be a dry, bald, cucked reddit user who "GG's" and friend requests everyone just to have fun nowadays.

Haha fuck off you noob.
Don't bully me you newfag :^(
post dotabuff immediately
>accidentally
no. people that don't speak english intentionally queue on the english servers solely because the queue times are faster. it is infuriating. i learned more spanish from dota than spanish class in high school, but all i know now is insults
The toxicity is what drew me in.
Being able to be oneself is a lost thing in most multiplayer games
I'm garbage but I'll post my dotabuff anyways since if you call me garbage it is something I already know.
