Once you learn all the heroes by studying replays there's nothing else to do except autistically grind imaginary points. Was very fun while it lasted.

this whole thread is a mentally ill player lashing out, it always happens they have no concept what a dead game actually is, they just cant accept that Dota isnt as popular as it was 10 years ago.
>>714959827
because tastes has changed and Dota isn't really getting any new players, kids don't want to play a super complicated game with matches that lasts an hour, they'd rather go play marvel rivals with hecking jeff the shark that lasts 10min max or fortnite.
Dota would probably get more attention if it just sold it soul like every other game and add collab shit no one asked for.

Because
1. Game is too fucking long (not necessarily makes the game bad, just makes it less appealing to people who has less time on their hands)

2. No advertisement from Valve

3. Pros don't make any effort to stream or make content, fucking leeches just takes all the prizepools and vanishes

4. 1 new hero per year

5. The most retarded ladder I've seen in a video game

6. Pandering to china back in 2016-2019

The new player experience is awful. You're thrown into matches with other players that have over 2000h on the game. Not only that they make it their life's mission to trash talk you and tell how you should NOT play Dota. Fuck them. Let the game die.

The ability to disable cosmetics was something people asked for since their inception, as it was rightly feared that cosmetics would break up colors and outlines enough to hamper quick glance identification. This became a big dea, but from a different angle, when they introduced map skins that made it easier to see things because of different trees, giving a slight advantage.

Didn't they ban a mod that turned all the cosmetic skins off? I'll admit that I might be turning more retarded as I get older, but for heroes with the skins that change the colours and add all the glowing shit I do feel as though it has greatly reduced the 'glance value' of certain heroes.

The game is old at this point. If autists are still playing they'd be easily at 15k+ hours by now. I quit years ago at around 7k hours and I wasn't even that dedicated of a player.

It is the nature of a pvp game to learn, but learning that it is not okay for to have only brown boots and a force staff at 30 minutes as a support is a sad revelation.

Steam doesn't fake or manipulate player numbers unlike riot though. League counts the people playing their auto battler as playing league + they have a couple of big name steamers on retainer to fake interest in the game, and you cant discount the bots.

Do you have four friends that can swear to give you 4 hours minimum /week to play matches?
No? Then you will not have a good time.
Dota2 is one of the greatest games ever made hampered by needing a full team or it's dogshit because Brazilian and Russians cannot play with any skill or thought and you WILL get them on your team

The game runs like absolute trash now
It was using 6 FUCKING GIGABYTES OF RAM during a replay
Fuck the devs. They kept saying they optimized the game... yeah that's true, in the motherfucking menu
Who gives a FUCK about good performance in the menu
Yeah I really need 200+ fps while looking at the shitty fucking cosmetics
Meanwhile I get 50 fps in teamfights with an i7-4770
>haha le 10+ year old cpu
Bitch this game used to fucking run fine on a fucking CORE 2 QUAD not even 3 years ago, it's even in the minimum requirements
The bigger map killed all optimized of this game and I had to upgrade to this i7
Now even 8GB of RAM is not enough, I get stutters up the ass with that and even 12gb is barely enough
I should not need some new ass pc to play fucking Dota 2 of all things

It was fun when I tried it but there is too much that is blatantly unfinished right now. By the end of last year they were frantically A/B testing and drastically changing things around before the population fully died off. And now they have some super sekrit build on top of the already closed alpha that only the big ecelebs and top players have access to. I'll just wait for it to actually release, but I don't know if the target audience will still be there by the time it does.

Only if you have four other guys and you are all on the same wavelenght about how to play (either all tryhards or all fuck around doing funny shit) otherwise it's just miserable.
I miss my stack...

Having a full stack is just asking to play against cheaters and smurfs, playing alone or with one or two friends is the optimal way

I also noticed a drop in performance since the new map dropped, even loading times were longer before they patched it

Bottle is a worthless item nowadays, it's only a storage unit for the rune now

Because itโ€™s fucking dota like no joke 95% is some form of: third worlder account seller, third worlder item seller, third worlder normal player, or bot ran by a third worlder

You try to find functional teammates and itโ€™s a ghost town

Dota needs a massive de-powercreep patch for every hero. It's getting insane.

I got warned last time for posting that image of Dark Willow's ass so pretend it's here.

Basically this
I used to be incredibly invested from around TI2 to TI5 times, then I took a bit of a break, came back and had to learn the whole game all over again and then some
It's basically the polar opposite of the direction that League took, which was financially a much smarter choice by Riot

No one that is playing Dota right now would ever go back to old Dota, if they say they want to they are lying, especially if they usually play support
