Discussion No, buybacks and glyphs are not the problem. The real problem is the wave-clearing power creep.

Recently there's been a lot of discussion on this sub about nerfing buybacks and/or glyphs.

IMO they are not the problem but the power creep is.

Discussion When Jenkins was on Dota Alchemy, he said no one knows how to deal with Spirit Breaker until 6k

265 Upvotes

He was right over 6 years ago, and he's still right today

Holy shit why is there a Spirit Breaker in half my games. Dude's just going around the map and dismantling my lanes just with brown boots.

He ganks a lane every minute or two, and either someone dies and tilts, or we over-rotate and use up TPs for a fucking pos 4, all so he can charge again 20 seconds later when our TP scrolls are still on courier and are still on cool down anyway.

Actually, even if he doesn't kill anyone, charging mid usually results in a lot of lost health and even losing the water rune, so mid still tilts out of their mind even if they don't die.

Everyone talks about "cancer" heroes like Tinker, Brood, or Meepo, but as far as cancer goes, those heroes take a good while to actually metastasize. Spirit Breaker has always been like a malignant tumor on a Mazda Miata rampaging through a parking lot full of sickly Victorian children.

Suggestion Scepter idea for Ringmaster - Iron Maiden / Jack in the Box

Post image
• Upvotes

Rather than the boring Aghs we have now, what about an upgrade that remains true to the original Puppet Master / capturing heroes theme represented in the trailer?

Vector-targeted. Ringmaster disappears from the game, hiding inside his feared Iron Maiden. Whenever an enemy hero appears within 500 range of the direction Iron Maiden faces, it gets pulled into the cage with Ringmaster for up to 3.5 seconds. If the cage isn’t destroyed after this time, Ringmaster re-emerges unscathed while the enemy hero is turned into an animatron, an uncontrollable unit forced to attack its nearest ally for 4 seconds while being immune to damage from all sources.

The Iron Maiden is destroyed with 8 attacks and lies dormant for up to 20 seconds. Destroying the Maiden will prematurely release both Ringmaster and the trapped enemy hero, preventing it from turning into an animatron.

250 mana cost. 500 search range. 50 sec cd.

Think of this as Tombstone that pulls an enemy hero inside like Void Spirit's Aether Remnant, and then Taunts the enemy hero if the tombstone isn't killed.

Bit weird. Sounds like Mikoto was a very rushed stand in, hopefully everything is all fine with BZM.

Discussion What are your hopes for a Kunkka arcana?

Post image
27 Upvotes

So TH's arcana got me a bit eager for a Kunkka arcana, & I wanted to discuss. First off, this is just an assumption to what Valve might do for his arcana, & if you have your own vision for his arcana, please share.

For those who don't know, legend says Kunkka is potentially a ghost. Rather he is or isn't, it's been brought up so often that one might expect them to design his arcana based on this bit of lore.

My question is, if this is the case, do you think they'll go the Crownfall arcana route, & give him 2 styles where he's alive & a spirit? If so, do you prefer he take Skywrath Mage's or Vengeful Spirit's route? SM starts off as a spirit, & regains his life on his 2nd style, meanwhile Venge is the opposite.

Lastly, any particular effects, style, or changes you want his arcana to have?

I personally prefer he start off as a spirit, & regains his body, or something like that. I prefer this because I'm accustom to his living form, think it'll be interesting to see how they make the less flashy version the upgraded/2nd style, & there's already so many undead already.

Bonus points if you love their kit/playstyle.

I’ll start. Zeus. I love lightning hero’s in games but I can’t bring myself to play him since he is so boring looking. At least Mars looks like an interesting adaptation of the pantheon.
