You know when you are finally starting to make a big comeback in a game and it looking like your going to win, your PA finally has her helm, BKB and basher and 7000 gold because of a great team fight. Then she buys raiper, dies within 2 minutes and gives it to CK and you lose.

How about this one. Faceless void with all the farm in the world and sits in jungle the late game and fights only a handful of times and lose when it was a guaranteed win from how early/mid game went for my team.

And just like that, it's back to being a vent thread.

Although to be fair, I also have nothing constructive to post at this time.

[EqualWin]

Honestly I thought several times it would be better to just have a "I just had a bad game and I need to vent thread" like the LoL and HoTS forums have.

Odd that similar games have threads like that but it's not allowed here, so I guess if any mod reads this consider that my request/question/feedback about it, since I don't think it would go in the feedback/suggestion area if it's specifically about this forum?

Do people get worked up enough playing Dota to need one? I usually play Dota to unwind, not to get stressed up and start raging at others. As stressful as it can be sometimes, at the end of the day its really not worth getting angry over.

That said, I can certainly see why people might get angry in Ranked games, especially those who are prone to tilting and going on long losing streaks. Would venting that kind of frustration here really help? I don't think so, if anything you're more likely to queue up for your next game while still fuming about that Void in your last game who was 2-25-4 and kept drawing wangs on the minimap.

Besides most venting seems to take place in team chat anyway!

Please take a moment to refresh yourself on the rules of the Dota 2 forum. Venting in any form is forbidden.

Man I dunno, I just figured that if other similar games have the threads, why not here? Seems a bit silly and it would clear up this thread of the posts.

That being said, it seems like the stance is an adamant no anyway.

So is it safe to say at this point no balance changes for a bit? I haven't seen any but then again I haven't really dug to hear of any.

it is something that was discussed briefly during the conception of this forum

venting posts add no value and does very little besides rack up the infraction count for nation bashing

fwiw i don't think the threads should exist in the other forums, but that's up to the moderators of said forums

next balance patch coming pretty soon™ i think

[veiledy0]

The amount of people consistently warding ancients against Tinker has increased by 9000% in the last month

Fair enough. Also for what it's worth, the league one probably gets more posts daily than this thread does in a week, so it's not like they'll probably get their games analysed there, seems like it's more of a just "post and forget" thread.

Probably with the winners of the new models and what not?
*fingers crossed*

yeah the issue (in my mind) is that it does not add anything valuable to the forum

Yeah once you pointed out the Country bashing I was like "oh, touché"

Also interesting...I would wonder about the choice of image but it seems like their image never is really relevant unless it's a holiday event

[veiledy0]

Had a guy random Techies and say he never played it before, and whole team went rage mode. Then he went like 6-0 in 5 minutes and they was all like "oh ye, techies good hero, we love techies on our team".

Hoping for Sky, Void, Razor and DP nerfs personally. I'm not so sure Doom and Tinker really need nerfs despite being really annoying and i have no idea how to nerf Void, he has always been a pretty good hero purely because of his ultimate.

PA Arcana is a wasted chance to get someone like Rubick / invoker one which is really annoying - SF has an arcana in the works at the moment too.

[veiledy0]

There's no real reason to nerf any hero you mentioned except Void. The best way to nerf him would probably be to make Chrono not immobilize targets for the first second of it's duration, so you have time to move out of it once it's placed, but still give void max movement speed and phasing inside of it, so he can keep a high priority target inside with some lucky bashes. This way it would force players to place it smarter and think more who they really want to disable, and you wouldn't have to keep your entire team spread the whole game, plus it would be easily counterable with Blink Daggers (which would be totally fair). Other than that, there will be more buffs to other heroes, to make them rise a bit into the meta, rather than nerfs to the ones you mentioned. What I'm waiting for is for pro's to start picking Bloodseeker, just for people to realize how overbuffed that hero has gotten over the last 3 or so patches.

But no, "Don't vote for Invoker guys, OP hero omg lol". Invoker arcana.. Imagine the possibilities Sunstrike playing a global Mortal Kombat Toasty sound when it deals a finishing blow. I'd buy that shit faster than the average russian buys 10 Pudge sets the day he installs Dota.

[Sorcereria]

Yestarday it was my ISP with 60% packet loss or everyone on EU west?

[Rooskie1993]

just make blink non rearmeable and tinker is fixed
