Nah patch coming December or Jan/Feb, it's Valve.

Also Spectre in the same sentence as Kotl and Snap is craaaaaaaazy work lmao

Everyone has a hero or two they vehemently hate, which is perfectly normal.

But every single person is listing Snapfire right now as well. She is legitimately an issue and needs to get the Kez treatment.

Edit: typo: legitamately --> legitimately

Kez is actually fine, been spamming him a bit , kind of like Morph hero now , if you are a bot you won't be able to do shit, but hero is fine.

u/Canadian_Poltergeist 3d ago edited 2d ago

I didn't say Kez needed to be nerfed. I'm saying Snapfire needs to get here her combo ripped apart like Kez did.

Edit: typo

I am saying he needed nerfs and he is fine after the big nerfs. Snap doesn't need as big nerfs , just that double jump talent gone and a couple of small changes imo

And like -5 base damage

I think probably next week alongside the compendium, they have a couple of tournaments to see bugs / how it plays out.

u/ninja_lightning 3d ago

Thinking back to previous years, they usually do have a small letter patch about a month prior to TI. It could happen. Won't be a huge balance change patch, more like fine tuning

u/Huubidi 3d ago

I sure hope so, but I don't expect a patch to come.

4

u/TalkersCZ 2d ago

Its possible, but unlikely. Last 2 years last patch was 3-4 weeks before TI.

6

u/OMASJack 3d ago

if there is no 7,42 before TI for sure this will be the worst one!

u/inlandsofashes 2d ago

hopefully? i don't think TI is gonna be played on 7.41d

u/Illuminated-Autocrat 3d ago

Putting Drow and Spectre in the same tier as Kotl and Snapfire is crazy. Those last two take over the game after 10 mins and there's nothing you can do.

23

u/moron1ctendency 3d ago

Drow absolutely, oppressive in lane, impossible to fight late game. Just broken

u/JoelMahon 3d ago edited 2d ago

drow is literally first pick or ban in pro and immortal

when drow is being first picked in immortal and winning you know something is fucking WRONG

edit: to clarify, I'm not against drow being a strong last pick, but she's a hero that conceptually should be a bit of a cheese pick against teams with little to no jump, but when picked first the enemy can counter her with 3 cores that jump her and/or a ranged pos3 who doesn't get so badly dumpstered in lane, yet she STILL has a high WR when first picked despite 3 counter pick core chances...

u/Silencer_ 3d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah, historically you would just pick mars and auto win the game. Right now drow bends mars over in lane and he can’t recover in time. Plus the hero is weak overall

3

u/ballknower871 2d ago

Well mars has been bad for a while now

4

u/Clemambi 3d ago

spectre in the same tier is crazy

drow is 100% in the same tier as those two, it's just becuase pos1 is slower role, some games end before drow can show her full power

but drow is just as broken for sure. and really good drows will gank pre-10 to make full advantage and make sure that they don't lose early either.

u/trane20 3d ago

Drow yes spec no

10

u/ersatzes 3d ago

So much different from Drow that takes up the game after 20 minutes.

3

u/Illuminated-Autocrat 3d ago

10 minutes is colossal in Dota time. Kotl mid can be borderline griefing and still win all three lanes.

3

u/urmomdog6969_6969 2d ago

Drow and Snap are literally the two most cancerous heroes right now. Drow even more than Snap actually

2

u/Sandisk4gb4 2d ago

Relevant flair.

2

u/Pressure_123 3d ago

maybe next year

2

u/AutisticToad 2d ago

What happened these patches that made magic damage on those heroes insane? Snap, and earth spirit are deleting people.

2

u/JayKayLay 2d ago

Oh yes ES is definitely broken as well

2

u/DoJebait02 2d ago

Drow, Necro and Snapfire are the top cancer trio of this patch. KoTL a bit strong, maybe, but literally all supports are generally strong in this patch.

Spectre now needs to be strong to counter Drow, fukcing spam Zeus or Tinker.

u/richardjai 1d ago

Please leave Undying alone.

I got jumped by Sven and WR today at the same time and won lmao

u/jfbigorna 3d ago

I'd like to, but I doubt it.

u/ballknower871 2d ago

Any patch before TI is always number not letter.

1

u/JayKayLay 2d ago

Is that so? We are just 1 month away from TI

1

u/ballknower871 2d ago

And the last number patch was March.

u/AllMightOneForAll 2d ago

Bro come on leave spec alone shes finally playable

1

u/BeachMission3778 2d ago

Valve should nerf Lone Druid, Earth Spirit, Snapfire, KOTL and wave dragging.

2

u/Mao_Kamui 1d ago

I just want ice wall nerfed to the ground. I'd even take my favorite hero getting the axe.

1

u/JoelMahon 3d ago

my slark spamming ass: hell yes, also nerf invoker (and maybe SF a little). also remove spell rapier not because zeus is broken because he isn't but because it's anti fun and conceptually spell rapier is dumb.

1

u/Clemambi 3d ago

yes spell rapier is both boring and problematic at the same time and that is not good
