DOTA drama is always nice. All things considered it would seems like Secret management was practically playing a Ponzi scheme with its player.

Wouldn't DotA 2 be so much better if players were locked into teams like that? :)

I think it was obvious that Puppey has clocked out of the game a long time ago. He hasn't played pubs in ages and despite the chill persona has always raged pretty hard.

Dude has been playing Dota professionally for like 10 years, I'm sure he's burned out as fuck. Still, he wants more of that sweet moneyz.

Anyone bothered by the new stun indicator? I'd complain about muh skill cap, but honestly these days the game is so fucking polluted with all the shit sets that I just don't care anymore. Anything to help the majority of the thoroughly shit playerbase to tell what's going on is welcome, to be honest.

I have mixed feelings about this. I don't think it really changes anything because anyone with experience knows how long the stuns are anyways, and it's good for new players to learn the skills but...

it looks terrible and you can't turn it off

Carnival skins are also terrible and you can't turn them off either, the shit train set out long ago...

By the way, you can turn the stun bar through the consle, dota_disable_stunbar true

dota_disable_stun_bar <true/false> in the console as far as reddit said.

why can't they make some clock based display under the feet for this shit? Easily visible and non intrusive... or on the unit portrait.

technically you already have it visible as a little debuff on the buff debuff bar. So I really dont know why this was needed since you already have all the information visible. If they really wanted they could add a slider where you could enlarge the debuff icons if you want tjhem to be bigger. But my biggest problem (and only real one) with this is that they didnt put an option in to disable it and you ahve to look for the console command for yourself.

Dota is unfortunate in the fact that, when it works, it's the best shit ever, but when it doesn't it's the worst shit ever. The problem is that it almost never works, so it's not worth the time.

Balance wise 6.88 gotta to be the "work" patch. Less than 10% of the total pool of hero is garbage. And if it doesn't work most of the time it means you need to get good noob.

I don't think my post meant what you think it meant.

The key to fun is to play with a bunch of friends
I have an all-nighter once a week with my RL feeder friends. Dota has the distinct problem of only being fun when you win.
