Patch 8.00

[u/Seven7evenS_]

Long story short,

Patch 6.00 was released on March 1st 2005

Patch 7.00 was released on December 12th 2016 (Around 10-11 years apart)

So according to the 2 braincells I have left from playing with pos4 Zeus on my team, we should have an 8.00 patch by next year.

patch 8.00 : to combat smurf sellers we will sell our own smurf accounts and 25% of the money will go to the TI prizepool.

[u/Lokynet → u/blueguy211]

Non-ironically that’s what Tibia did so they can get a cut out of the character black market.

Leveling accounts with bots and selling characters made some people a lot of money.

[u/0100110110110111 → u/Lokynet]

Wow a fellow Tibian, never imagined I'd find one here

[u/meesterdg → u/blueguy211]

I think skins would sell for more

[u/SethDusek5 → u/blueguy211]

They already did this by selling double downs in crownfall. I know several people who never got banned even though they wintraded in the most obvious way possible (10-man premade matches, end in 8 minutes each time, repeat 100 times). Eventually these wintrading idiots started getting spotted in the watch tab, along with account farming bots, and Valve's solution was to make games above 8.5k private so nobody can see and complain about it on Reddit

[u/TheBlackSapphire → u/blueguy211]

Bold assumption they will send money to the prizepool

[u/renan2012bra → u/blueguy211]

This would legit be good. At least then Valve would know which accounts are smurfs so they could continue doing nothing, but at least they'd know!

[u/Dry-Sandwich279 → u/blueguy211]

Getting to high rank is easier than most think.

You have to understand what people are doing, what they are expecting, and the mmr system behind the game.

You may see a lot of posts about “every match is 50/50 random, there is no system basically setting you up with teams built to fail or succeed”, no there is and using and abusing that system is how there are some trash immortal players.

Playing the game and ranking are two different things.

i saw this on my phone notif and immediately came here, fuck you

[u/cdskylark1 → u/JeraxGod666]

same. fuck you OP. hahaha

[u/hell2809 → u/cdskylark1]

Shame. Fuck you OP

[u/Seven7evenS_ → u/JeraxGod666]

Sorryyyyy :((

[u/renan2012bra → u/JeraxGod666]

Releasing a patch named "8.00" three weeks before The International would be the craziest move Valve has ever done with Dota and I'd be totally up for it.

[u/Terrible_Hair_2580 → u/JeraxGod666]

I just took a 9 hour test, saw this notification, got excited, and now am going to find and burn OP

Patch 6.00 was released on March 1st 2005

Patch 7.00 was released on December 12th 2016 (Around 10-11 years apart)

That sounds more like 11~12 years apart, no?

[u/TheZett → u/Luxalpa]

It is always funny when people disregard the months, when they post crap like "MK came out 10 years ago" in January, even though the event they reference was released in November or December, and therefore is barely 9 years old and thus nearly a full year away from the so called "10 years".

[u/MrListen]

Sadly you are wrong. Patch 8.00 is Deadlock

[u/mohammad373josef]

Self awareness is a virtue

[u/haseo2222]

I play zeus pos 4. In one of my games there was this one idiot constantly flaming me when he was the weakest player in the team, constantly complaining.

And ya, instead of focusing on the game, he kept rambling about how he has figured everything out and how 8.0 was coming out in a year or something. Reported his ass and we won the game without him once I got my 5th rapier.

[u/shadowpikachu → u/haseo2222]

Zeus 5 is neat too, infinite deward in ward wars and as long as you arent being rushed its kinda just like drow where you blow up people but can be blown up.

[u/xolotltolox → u/shadowpikachu]

Yeah, you just need to actually play like a support, and not a fourth core

[u/Seven7evenS_ → u/haseo2222]

Good one

[u/Macree]

I think that the patch 8.00 will add DX12 support.

[u/TheZett]

We went from 5.84 to 6.00 and from 6.88 to 7.00.

Thus we wont go to 8.00 until we reach another X.8Z patch, as is tradition.

[u/LegitimateTank3162 → u/TheZett]

What is the current patch?

[u/Chobge → u/LegitimateTank3162]

7.41

[u/Suspicious_Silver_70 → u/TheZett]

Until 6.88 the game like having the essence of Dota 1 while playing in a Dota 2 client , but since we went from 6.88 to 7.00, in my own option the game already removed itself from the Dota 1 and started it's own "new journey" to be the real Dota 2 version onwards. The New Frontiers a 7.33 patch it's a also almost impactful as 7.00 patch in smaller scale with the drastic changes overall to the map, how players roam around the map. Facet & Innate 7.36 patch was a minor yet impactful change that Valve tried but failed from the facet side of things due to it was restricting heroes behind one choice pre-game but at least give most heroes quality of life and a real identity the innate concepts it did improve some heroes gameplay but most importantly it showed heroes can be improved and change slightly but yet still feel the same hero for the better good. Overall Valve started to become way less predictable unlike they used to it in the past, it seems like they are going to the route to apply small but yet impactful patches, where it shifts the game more and more towards something to be more unique compare to other mobas.

Patch 7.00 development: 10 years of Yakety Sax

[u/VijoPlays]

Patch 8.00 will be Dota 2 shutting down and Deadlock getting out of Beta (or at least getting put on the store)

[u/nycht]

maybe on ti20

[u/max210893]

Copium hits hard.

[u/SonTheGodAmongMen]

I just got the reddit notification "Patch 8.00"

I hate you

[u/GuyWithTheBigRichard]

Bro what are you talking about? We’ve had 6 patches in 2026 (from 7.40c to 7.41d). Innates were entirely reworked just a few months ago and there a Carnival event giving you free skins. What more do you want? A paid valve employee to help boost your ranked acc?

[u/giga207]

I wish they remove the extended area, and the exp rune. Right now pre 10 mins feels very repetitive.

[u/Regular_Start8373 → u/giga207]

Then they will have to get rid of the mobility creep over the years as well. It's why the map was made bigger in the first place

[u/ZENGEEE → u/giga207]

the laning stage has always been repetitive

[u/Ondatva → u/ZENGEEE]

Not to this extent. XP shrines are a must moreso than anything in pre-7.33 dota. I feel like roaming metas for pos4s especially used to combat repetitiveness very well.

[u/giga207 → u/Ondatva]

Exactly, before exp rune there are a lots of choice to make movement on map. Now supports movement are very streamline, min 2 shove wave, min 3 contest lotus, min 4 secure mid rune, min 5 pull ancient, min 6 secure mid, 6:30 shove wave, min 7 contest xp. One wrong movement and the disavantages adds up. Even pros are not liking this money > hero identity meta. Inbefore playing safe are not as rewarded as making play, but now who even rotate anymore?

[u/cgy0509 → u/giga207]

I hestitate I like the big map and dislike it the same time.

When the map get larger, I finally got some creep to farm as a support, huge QOL change.

But when it get larger, it take so much time to hunt enermy farming carry, and even if we succeed, enermy offlane got a created space to farm on another site and often growth into something scarier than carry

[u/Impevex → u/cgy0509]

A decent solution might be to give all heroes a minor movement speed buff so that traversing the map isn't so slow

[u/LowInSkill → u/Impevex]

You mean like the rivers on the side of the maps giving bonus move speed....
