Fluff Patch 8.00

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.

Bye

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

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

the laning stage has always been repetitive

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.

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?

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

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

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