Defense of the Ancients 2: General Chat XIX 6.77c Coming Soon - Games

Am I the only one here who isn't disgusted by the Crystal effect? I think it fits Babbeeh Roshy really well, but maybe not other couriers. Possibly a speed demon, haven't seen one with the effect.

Yeah warning: don't play tonight, random disconnects and major lagspikes abound.

Axe is one of the few heroes that can make me still enjoy a match even when 3 bad players gaurante a loss after 10 mins

I like the crystal rift on my wardog, but I wish there was more too it/it actually looked crystally

I thought the unusual effect was this. (From Cyborgmatt's Blogpost) [IMG]http://www.cyborgmatt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Dota2_Particles_Crystal01-600x724.jpg[/IMG] I was devastated and i made it my life goal to get one of the couriers.

[QUOTE=Rarara;39925852]Wtf man sidelane Pudge is as good as Medusa mid get on my level[/QUOTE] Medusa mid is actually pretty scary. [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] Just try going Sniper against her. Those snakes take half of your hp pretty much all the time.

[QUOTE=maxumym;39930762]Medusa mid is actually pretty scary. [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] Just try going Sniper against her. Those snakes take half of your hp pretty much all the time.[/QUOTE] She completely controls the lane itself, but she is a horrible mid because she has little rune control and cannot actually gank any of the lanes very well. [editline]16th March 2013[/editline] She can pretty much control a lane solo against a dual lane with ease, I see no reason to put her mid versus, let's say, a Shadow Fiend or Queen of Pain.

The effect looks amazing on my tengu, but horrible on my boar.

so i found a match and accepted it and it didn't load for 10 minutes, ended dota.exe in task manager, launched the game again and it's still trying to connect to dota 2 network and it's been like 7 minutes now. what's going on?

If it still doesn't work, then it's the game/servers.

There are bugs in matchmaking. You risk getting a lot of abandons right now.

What a drag. Weekends are probably the most annoying time to have MM bugs. And I just got off an 8 game loss streak, so theoretically my luck should be turning around, right?

-snip- I was late.

lancer not nerfed... ICEFRAUD!

I'm very happy with these changes. It's a start to making things better. Not a lot of changes here but they are all very important and influential. Maybe now we'll see less tranquil boots and KOTL won't be as annoying anymore.

Drow is scary no more

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;39932904]lancer not nerfed... ICEFRAUD![/QUOTE] Lancer doesn't need a nerf.

Yea, our beloved Froggy just shat on Axe even more. Makes me sad.

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;39932904]lancer not nerfed... ICEFRAUD![/QUOTE] Lancer in some way was nerfed in this update. Not directly but through other changes. By nerfing tranquil boots the way they did they made it easier to harass him and gank him. Also by nerfing KOTL this makes the dreaded KOTL PL lane combo a bit easier to deal with. I still think PL's agility gain is a bit absurd and he might need some slight tweaks here and there though.

Thank fuck, a KotL nerf.

A small buff to Treant, but a buff nonetheless. It's a step in the right direction.

Drow got nerfed street party near my house to celebrate

Well there aren't any changes I don't agree with. Ofc I'd like to see a bigger buff to Treant than that, but hey it's something.

Keep in mind this isn't all that's gonna happen, 6.78 will most likely come before the International anyway, these were just the highest priority nerfs.

25 speed with broken tranquils? wow... i main support and this killed the boots for me

I'm sad that they nerfed The Best Boots.

Tranquils were never used regularly in competitive until recently, and then people realized just how amazing they were. Kinda like gyrocopter.
