MAJOR Dota 2 TEST client update for 12/11/13 and main client update coming on 12/12/13 (12/12/13 UTC - Games

[QUOTE=jechtman;43155387]The Tree horde feels way too powerful[/QUOTE] aint shit compared to the mud golems or the bears thats the farthest ive gotten :v:

For me personally, the Bear and the Slithereen wave are the most annoying. Bears are simply very strong, especially the Ursas, you have to do some aggro management and kiting so they don't shred you apart, and I really hate how much damage mini-Slarks do.

i swear to god if someone picks LC i'll make sure we have no support on our team just so i can use the 'strong black woman' joke

Really happy that Dota 2 gets another female hero and that for once it doesn't have the same friggin facial structure as all the others [editline]12th December 2013[/editline] plus the lack of cleavage for once. [editline]12th December 2013[/editline] diversity is always refreshing

Dota 2 feminism is a thing now I guess

Legion Commander is bad ass. Her voice lines are amazing.

[QUOTE=Qwerty Bastard;43155624]Who knows, they might be reworking him entirely. Don't see much other reason to take him out of the game this long. I mean, a reskin is one thing but fucking Venomancer didn't get an entire update starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.[/QUOTE] Would it be because of Blizzard not wanting a Skeleton King in Dota2? And I think the reason they're doing such a huge update for Skeleton Kings model update is because this is a much bigger change than Venomancer's model. Veno went from a green slug to a green snake. Skeleton King is going from Skeleton King to Flesh King. And of course Skeleton King is one of the most iconic heroes.

I keep seeing people complaining about LC being horseless, a woman (w/o an insane cleavage) AND black What do people think this is, LoL?

[QUOTE=Limed00d;43157807]I keep seeing people complaining about LC being horseless, a woman (w/o an insane cleavage) AND black What do people think this is, LoL?[/QUOTE] i think people are just annoyed because it's 100% different to it's WC3 counterpart

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;43157940]i think people are just annoyed because it's 100% different to it's WC3 counterpart[/QUOTE]Yeah people wanted the lovable racist commander that was in wc3. I got bored of the three lines he kept repeating during my first game with him. I think this design is much better

She's still just as racist though, has a hate line for pretty much everyone.

[QUOTE=MILKE;43157183]Dota 2 feminism is a thing now I guess[/QUOTE] It's not feminism, I don't see any over-the-top claim of objectification or the like. It's really just a point on the redundance of the facial structure of some humanoid heroes, which just so happen to be the females. That said, I don't really agree with it. That would imply that [I]death prophet a shit[/I], and that's not true. Also PA portrait is not up to date.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;43158098]She's still just as racist though, has a hate line for pretty much everyone.[/QUOTE] tbh it feels like they shoehorned the racism in at the last moment because all her hatred lines are pretty much just "never trust X"

I wish they had kept him a bit more skeleton like though

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43158188]tbh it feels like they shoehorned the racism in at the last moment because all her hatred lines are pretty much just "never trust X"[/QUOTE] Yeah, I would've liked if they were more unique but whatev's.

[quote=doto]- Fixed some Bounty Hunter items which weren't properly showing his Jinada effects.[/quote] I can only hope this will include a fix/change to the Sacrificial Shortblade.

Ok actually properly listening to the lines now. The writing is good, really good, but god I wish Valve weren't so insistent on throw on awful voice filters on everything these days. If Wraith King's lines were completely unfilitered and he sounded like old Skelebones, just with the new lines, it would be [I]perfect[/I]. And nobody else really sounded like bones, so that isn't a problem. The voice filter just makes it grumbly, and unclear at times.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;43158188]tbh it feels like they shoehorned the racism in at the last moment because all her hatred lines are pretty much just "never trust X"[/QUOTE] It's a reference to garrithos saying NEVER TRUST AN ORC

[QUOTE=Lucinice;43159109]It's a reference to garrithos saying NEVER TRUST AN ELF[/QUOTE] Fixed it for you. Why would he have any reason to trust orks when they're AT WAR with them.

[QUOTE=maxumym;43159124]Fixed it for you. Why would he have any reason to trust orks when they're AT WAR with them.[/QUOTE] It's equally likely for him. As far as he's concerned he'd rather befriend a pile of dogshit than let a non-human live.

I have a feeling they'll keep SK as an Arcana item.

I hope they add SK as an alternate skin for WK, just like they did in CSGO with the M4A1.

I have a feeling SK won't be coming back at all.

Is it out for the main client yet?

[QUOTE=Swiket;43159321]I have a feeling SK won't be coming back at all.[/QUOTE] I would be upset if that happened.

Well apparently that "Relic of the Wraith King" is an arcana skin for SK that turns him into the Wraith King. Unconfirmed, but still...

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;43159658]Well apparently that "Relic of the Wraith King" is an arcana skin for SK that turns him into the Wraith King. Unconfirmed, but still...[/QUOTE] You know what? I kinda like him now. But that Arcana would be an overkill though.

Just an added fact, some guys on reddit found that the new gamemode is largely working on LUA scripting. So yeah, looks like custom gamemodes might be coming soon, and this is the first test of a standalone mode system.
