Was there some sort of graphical update in the latest patch (aside from the UI)? I've noticed a huge decrease in my fps from a constant 120 to 90-100 during fights and it's really annoying to play like its lagging. Is there a specific setting that I can change to revert this?

90-100 fps should not feel like lag. Maybe it was the server?

The only visuals that changed were this, so nothing major:

VISUALS
- Heroes will no longer lose their shadows.
- Item Icon have been redesigned
[We plan to continue update these over the next few weeks, please give us your thoughts in this forum (http://dev.dota2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=353)]
- New visual style for Lion.
- New Town Portal effect.

what
 
I'm torn on Brewmaster. He has potential to be an excellent tank.. but my biggest issue with him is he has NO finishers. My last game with him.. EVERY single one of my kills were stolen. I'd open with stun, attack attack, snare, attack attack (with passive crits in the mix) and he's about to die... I have NO skills I can use to finish him.. someone runs up and pop, steals the kill


OVER AND OVER


What should I do? Is there a good item with damage on it that can act as a finishing move? :/

I really want to like him too.

Leave the last hits to the carries.

Pubbers will save his AOE slow as a kill shot.
Please for the love of god don't do this
 

Haha. In my defense, when your playing and its at a constant 120 fps but during fights it drops to 90-100, it becomes very noticeable. I don't know how to describe it but you can clearly tell that the framerate has gone down. If there was some way to lock to a lower constant fps, I would but I can't seem to find such a way.

With vsync? Is that option available with the beta yet?

Agreed. I'm pretty sure that Brewmaster isn't meant to be a carry but a counter/initiator. If your carries are getting that farm, then you're doing your job. You'll probably enjoy that role more if you aren't playing with random pubbers.
 
And delayed a little bit more, because evidently there's only one official commentator on the Star Ladder payroll, and he's tied up with commentating World of Tanks at the moment...
 
19k people on stream waiting for Dota 2. It will be a bo5 with 1:0 for Navi, prepare to see the result around 3am CET.
edit: finally that dumb tank game is over
 
The international was worse.

They actually had server issues though. And it was their first tournament ever and in another country. Don't know how long Starseries have been going on, but looks like they've been doing this for a while. This is just horrible planning. Games being delayed a day, or hours and hours, because you planned other games at the same time. Just bad.
 
Looks like they are giving out 4 prizes for world of tanks first, this is gonna be another hour or so..

Also all that shitty music lmao.
 
I've been waiting here, wanting to do things, but I'm unsure of when this is even going to start and don't want to miss it
 
It's almost Midnight in Kiev, and they should be making the game and getting everyone into it while doing all of this.
 
Talk about M5 and Navi now. Looks like it might start now? Purge is still not informed it looks like though.

Edit: lol it's now starting at 11 CET
 
Kinda glad it was delayed because I was working in my yard >_>

Had time to shower and clean up and make some food to watch the games!
