I am a bit dissapointed that Dota 2, like TF2, now seems to be in "support" mode. It's too bad they didn't finish porting everyone over before the team seemingly slimmed down.
question was there always deny xp?
Any question. Was a map-editor or something of the sorts ever announced? Since blizz fucked up with custom-maps in SC2 (regionlock of maps, no bad words in maps, no copyright material), I really hope there will be another Game with a big custom maps scene like WC3 and I think DOTA2 could really be it.
They've made quite a few changes to the way gold increases it looks like. I'm guessing that will result in shorter games, or at least it will result in Supports getting a few more items late game. I for one can't wait to buy Atos from dewarding money.
Want to try this out, is there a walled garden noob zone or will I just get reamed as soon as I am done with the tutorials?
WHY WHAT HOW???. Seriously? How does that even work?
.
As a european you could only publish the maps on the european b.net.
As an american, you could only publish the maps on the american b.net.
They changed it 1 year ago, when they also opened the general regionlock. But at that time, no one was really interested in making maps anymore for SC2.

I will never understand why successful companies suddenly decide to do the exact opposite of what made them succesful in the first place.

I don't think it was ever announced, just speculated when that Horde Mode got spotted: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=636306
Yeah, it's been out since last month.Is LAN mode out yet?

There is a Limited Hero mode. But you will see regular people there too, or smurfs (not as many as in the main modes like AP or RD). So you will get destroyed a few times if you are unlucky
Yeah 6.55 DOTA 2 change was the big change and made the game what it is now. Before 6.55 the game was just a fun but broke type of game you played for kicks. After 6.55 it became a highly competitive team based game.
6.79 is still a massive game changing patch.
No.
Wait, when did 6.55 happen? Was it before Dota 2 released?
That was years ago. Way before DOTA 2.Wait, when did 6.55 happen? Was it before Dota 2 released?

Nah, she doesn't have the punch that she used to and is no longer a reliable pubstomper.
What changed about Drow (obviously before this patch)?
She went from "I can destroy you with high damage" to "I can destroy you if you stay away from me". Basically her ult stops working if you get close enough, so heroes that can close the distance fast destroy her. Spirit Breaker dominating pubs means Drow has no chance to grow on most games. And if she grows she still has to deal with SB or similar heroes
Are you freaking kidding me with Riki?! Good grief that's some bullshit. Wards out the ass now.
I think people place too much importance on Volvo adding new heroes. Most people (including me) can't even play all of the existing heroes competently anyway.
She got a buff and a nerf. Now you can kill her aura more easily (bigger aoe).
It would be a pretty horrible idea to add new heroes during an enormous balance patch.
How are they able to adjust where the creep line meets up? Are the spawn timmings delayed for the offlane?
That was years ago. Way before DOTA 2.
SC2 editor is such a cluster fuck it's mind boggling. All they had to do was take the WC3 WE and expand on it. It's a pain in the ass to do the simplest of things, but I didn't even realize they don't let you use foul language--that's just ridiculous.WHY WHAT HOW???. Seriously? How does that even work?
Man wc3 custom scene was so good. I cant believe they could not replicate it on sc2
If they ever announce custom maps, I want to go codding maps again. It was fun on wc3, but I just experimented with code and tried to replicate stuff already there, like dota spells. Never got any big idea to try.
Play co-op vs bots. Good way to learn the basics and not get crushed by smurfs. Most people who play it are green and usually nice. Playing low level team match is annoying because people are more likely to make mistakes, and boy does the shit talk spew from inexperienced players when they do. Played one match where the other team shit talked the anti-mage the whole game, and the shit talker had more deaths.Want to try this out, is there a walled garden noob zone or will I just get reamed as soon as I am done with the tutorials?
Dat Axe buff
That's why I was confused, people were describing it as "the patch that changed dota 2"

No more bottle first item with price increase. Very disappointed. I love my bottle.
