RIP Dota 2 Parties 201(?) - 2014

So Midas is later to get, Ancestral Spirit got nerfed, Venomancer got nerfed, Necronomicon got nerfed, and- uh oh they took 2 INT off of CM's starting stats. Eh, I'm sure she can manage. Also FUCK YEAH Legion Commander. Might think about trying her out...

FUCK YES LC YESYESYES

That abandon thing Nah, I'll just trust luck and hope I get in the same game as my friends, then [del](Luckily, this is just the Dota 2 test which means it may go if Valve receives enough negative feedback, which I predict they will)[/del] nope, it's coming for the main game. gg wp

Also I just realised that Wraith Night is probably Holdout.

Seems that Legion Commander is the first black female hero in the game as well.

strong black woman who don't need no support

in the patch notes where it says - Fixed a case where shop items would get stuck on the screen after dragging you can mouse over and see a stream of Iron Branches lol

[QUOTE=Zalvador;43151861]strong black woman who don't need no support[/QUOTE] Isn't she supposed to be a support herself, or at least a semicarry? Or is she a 2 on the carry-support scale?

WHY, WHY WOULD THEY MAKE AN ABANDON FOR EVERYONE ON GROUP PARTIES? VALVE, DID YOU EVEN THINK HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL FUCKING ABUSE THIS?

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;43151984]WHY, WHY WOULD THEY MAKE AN ABANDON FOR EVERYONE ON GROUP PARTIES? VALVE, DID YOU EVEN THINK HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL FUCKING ABUSE THIS?[/QUOTE] WHY WOULD YOU BE IN A PARTY WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT?

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;43151785]RIP Dota 2 Parties 201(?) - 2014[/QUOTE] They clearly want us to kill our friends and solo que instead. Also, it shouldn't affect 5 man parties, since all 5 players can disconnect at the same time, Sucks for when youa re on a 3-4 man party, one of your friends internet cut off or the power went out and that one pub refuses to leave.

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;43151984]WHY, WHY WOULD THEY MAKE AN ABANDON FOR EVERYONE ON GROUP PARTIES? VALVE, DID YOU EVEN THINK HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL FUCKING ABUSE THIS?[/QUOTE] its gonna suck to play with friends with poor connectivity, and it'll especially show how busted the pause system is, but i am clueless as to how you can abuse this

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;43151984]WHY, WHY WOULD THEY MAKE AN ABANDON FOR EVERYONE ON GROUP PARTIES? VALVE, DID YOU EVEN THINK HOW MUCH PEOPLE WILL FUCKING ABUSE THIS?[/QUOTE] That's literally the last thing to care about because if you queue with stupid people then that's your fault. I'm more upset because sometimes my friends have genuine internet problems or have to leave to tend to real life things, and now I'm going to suffer for it.

I don't mind the whole Skeleton King change or the nerfs but the "party members abandon" really squeezes my testies.

The way I see the abandon change is this: If Valve goes through with this in the main client, [B]nobody will want to join parties simply for the risk involved.[/B] As far as I can see it, the more members in your party, the more chance there will be for someone to abandon (unless it's a 5-stack where everyone knows each other and is willing to mass-DC to save one of their members from an abandon). Pausing will be nonexistent in non-solo queue queueing, even though it's a valid reason. Punishing the innocent for someone else's problems is wrong on so many levels. Should you be put in prison simply for being friends with a robber when the robber also faces a prison sentence, even though you did nothing?

I'm more upset because sometimes my friends have genuine internet problems or have to leave to tend to real life things, and now I'm going to suffer for it.[/QUOTE] Pretty much. For example I am a huge risk to my friends just because I live in the end of the world and I want to play in the EU server. I can see why they are trying to force this, but is fucking stupid in the end because is a bad idea.

Wraith night sounds like a really cool gamemode. .

What fucking friends do you people play with that you're going to (Pick all applicable) -lose all of your friends -never party again -be LPQ'd forever because of party abandons?

Oh god they are going to change sk. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. [editline]adsgas[/editline] Be prepared to see legion commander in every single game
