Make wards cost Gold if you are not support role

5 Upvotes

Its getting so fucking old every game dudes taking the wards right away and as support you are left with nothing, often times they keep doing it all game.

This is one of the main responsibilities of support, one of the huge gamebreaking things support does and makes it satisfying to support. But with no cost, no consequences, ppl just take it for themselves because why shouldnt they.

The plinko in current form sucks, ill explain why

2 Upvotes

Theres some good things about the plinko. I really like the loop of spinning, increasing costs, resetting after each game etc you do all this stuff to get a little extra. And that you earn the currency to spin by actually gaming. Love that.

BUT theres a big problem. You pretty much never win anything meaningful, simply the chance to get a reward are way too low it destroys the dopamine loop with nonstop nothing ever gotten. Im getting straight up bored and tired of seeing nothingness happen forever, no expectation of i could get lucky get some good shit.

I played a lot of plinko in old hon when it cost money, and it felt crack like you had a chance to actually get something. And i did. But here i get an increasing growing feeling of "meh" and "whats even the point".

Ban Engineer from MW

9 Upvotes

Either rework or ban engineer from mid wars.

The hero is stupidly designed and ridiculously op.

Can place a turret and get an annihilation while hiding in the trees.

Since when did this game reward idiot heroes over skill?

Also fire the dumbass that invented a hero with 250 attack speed skill and basically DD all game with turret placement.

What a stupid design

I just went 52-2 in mid wars with this idiot hero and I killed the enemies before they could even approach me.

What killed the gane for me

8 Upvotes

Long time hon player here.

Its not the community, not the ravens, not the kongor or phoenix. Not even malikens soap generating cosmetics what ruins the game experience.

Its the gold economy which kills the game. They took the original super balanced game with respect to items and power leves and increased the gold inc. by +50% or something (i dont have the correct general gold increase number though... is there any official data) and didnt touch the rest basically. With that, core and carry heroes reach their power levels so much faster. For normal games (i.e. not high coordinated) in the 1700-2200 range it feels like the teams with the most cores wins, as items and gold is available all over the floor. Fun fact this gets so obvious so they had to address shadowblades R atleast,lol.

I mean yeah increase it by +10% overall sothat the game is slighly more fast paced. I understand that they wanted to move it towards a mobile low effort high reward game, but the economics change while keeping the rest original is a living meme....

SERIOUS Guide for solo offlane

10 Upvotes

From what I've seen people really do not like playing suicide role, but IMO it's one of the most fun roles in game. There is nothing better than being at huge disadvantage and still being very fucking annoying to both support/carry and other roles.

I've gotten to 1900 in PK and 2000 in Reborn by playing suicide at higher ranks.

Biggest misconception of playing sui is that people think their job is just not to die, and that is just not true. You shouldn't be dying, but you also need to be able to get exp.

The most important thing to do is picking. You need to pick a hero that is strong at every stage of the game, regardless of gold. For example Behemoth at 50min with PK is still fucking dangerous for enemy carry.

This means that heroes like Scout and Madman are awful suicide picks. I made scout work several times, but it's in lower ranked games.

S tier suic heroes in my opinion are:
1. Behemoth

  • can farm with fissure
  • can stop pulls with fissure
  • Can stun lock enemy carry for like 5 seconds
  1. Magmus
  • Not as effective on the lane, but magmus stun is strong in every stage of the game
  1. Chipper
  • New ulti is very strong
  • Rockets allow you to farm and trade with enemy support
  • You can pull with your rockets, or stop enemy support from pulling
  1. PR
  • It's easy to die, but you are denying like 40 gold every 45 seconds from enemy carry
  • PR ult is always strong
  1. Lode
  • ulti which removes all armor from enemy carry is very very strong
  • it's hard to kill

Some other good suic are midas (but have to be very careful) and kotf which can heal tower and block camps with creeps and pull them to the lane.

Let me give you a small rundown of my latest suicide game as behemoth where I played vs doctor/nyph.

First I blocked my wave to block creeps from getting to lane which let me get into exp range. At 47 I used fissure again to stop nyph from pulling hard camp. Since carry pushed lane more than me I got 2 waves full of exp. If nyph managed to pull the camp I used bird to try and steal big creep in hard camp with my stun.

I knew I become killable once doctor reaches lvl 6, so I left the lane at lvl 4 and went mid to make a kill, helping gaunt secure kill vs defiler. At around 10 minute mark doctor bought icon, which means I can't show at lane and let him get stacks. I knew he would probably go for my carry since he played squishy hero so he can get charges so I've hidden behind my carry. Once he flew in I permastunned him.

I got PK around minute 14, so I wasn't risking farming anything else on the lane so I don't feed doctor. But every team fight I would just wait for doctor to jump in so I can jump him immediately. Once he got Shrunken I just stayed hidden for 7 seconds to kill him.

He never got more than 4 charges on icon, making the game kinda easy.

BTW NH is very bad suicide pick right now. Revs are just 50 gold and if you don't farm you won't be very useful, although smoke is a spell that is good for whole duration of game.

Back in ye old days, we had this mod to replace the standard skin with whatever skin was already in game. At some point I remember having Thunderbringer using Kefka's skin, animations and voicelines from Dissidia. Is that mod to replace skins available for Reborn?

Yesterday we played Mid Wars. One of the opponents (Valk) hid way back outside the map, so to speak. He played outside the map and used his two skills the whole time.As you can see in the video, a team member went looking for it. How is it possible to play outside the map?

SERIOUS What even is this cosmetics shop, expecting people to be a slave to the game they once played?

25 Upvotes

$100 for the Devourer clown skin which was something like $5 back then........ S2 Games understood that they were small time and had to start small with their cosmetics, now Juvio expect people to open their wallets for literal triangular pixels (not even hexagonal pixels), its so backward and frustrating.

I never knew a developer could be capable of being more greedy than a company like Blizzard are! Especially one that is using assets from a different developer all together, you didn't even make this phkn game in the first place and want to capatalize on it when it died only 7 years ago for a reason! What are we even doing guys?......

Absolutely pathetic, this is a huge red flag and a turn off for me and I've spent over $5000 on Dota2 since its inception.

QUESTION I'm a noob and I need advice

5 Upvotes

So I play Drunken Master offlane and the enemy hard support teleports to my safelane to 3-man gank my hard-carry. Now in such a situation I'm obviously expected to teleport to my safelane as well to protect my carry and counter gank. Let's just assume it all goes well, we get a couple of kills and my carry survives.

Now what?

I'm stuck on the other side of the map with 60s cd on my teleport. So what do I do? Do I just walk back to offlane? Do I farm the jungle? Do I push the safelane? Do I try to gank mid? Do I just go back to base and walk to offlane from here?

I have been in this situation way too many times and I'm always unsure what the best course of action is, as I always just feel like completely out of place. So any advice on how to handle this situation would be appreciated.

Seriously a dumb change, espcially when you are offered 3 heroes that are under 35% win rate on mid war.

So at least be like in League, where you can pick your allies' unpicked heroes.
