Gabe Newell has said that he loves DOTA 2 and still plays it every day
>People "occasionally talk sh*t" and call him a noob, but he knows they're just really passionate about the game

>>720395028 (OP)
He looks like my dad after he got into meth

>>720395028 (OP)
He sucks

Is it time?

>>720395028 (OP)
It's funny how his favorite valve game is objectively their worst

>>720395028 (OP)
>"occasionally talk sh*t"
wonder how often he's been called a nigger

>>720397804
yes
spooky day releases in about seven weeks

>>720397870
It's they one they actively turned into their worst game.
All to sell deadlock.
>Mid tourney rules change
Waiter! Waiter! Another 70 minute game!!!

>>720397982
we're back to 70 min games? i thought they had it down to like 40 at most

>>720398083
It was even worse in the group stage.

Nudota everyone! It's here forever!

I quit Dota in 2016. Is it worth returning to?

>>720395028 (OP)
Timmy would never

>>720399296
Name one aspect of the game that you enjoyed.
Ok now imagine if they got rid of that and replaced it with something that's 10% of what it was.
That's Dota in 2025.

>>720397982
there was a mid tourney rules change? what was it?

Zero chance Gabe plays Dota every week, let alone everyday

>>720399430
They never made it public.
It could very well be penalties for dragging the game out for all we know.
Games remain 70mins because the fuck Timmy gon do?

>>720399296
It's literally not the same game anymore. They keep experimenting with retarded mechanics nobody asked for and ruining everything.

Bets on him playing deadlock?
Also, if he is still playing DOTA, I hope he is still having fun on Sand King.

>>720399423
every hero used to be fun to play. last time i played years ago most were already nerfed/made overcomplicated. really ruined the game for me

>>720399626
You're lying, 2016 Dota was still on an overall buff over nerfs approach (unless you're one of the 3 spirits/panda).
Good news though! Your lying ass is actually right about recent Dota patches

>>720399787
(You)

>>720399598
glad i dropped this game after the battlepass disappeared
what a shitshow

>>720398295
>Tanks
retard

>>720398295
>it happens because heroes can't do things!
but it's 2-sided games. If they all were strong then enemies would also be strong..

A bit closer to heaven.

>>720398295
at least you don't have bounty system that gives 200g+ for killing you if you have like 2 kills in a row and your team is up 500g, thanks riot

>>720400773
>he doesn't know

>>720395028 (OP)
He is not passionate about dota,
you'd know if you played the fucking game.

>>720400773
>>720400907
Comeback gold is the stupidest mechanic ever

>>720401057
Is it really? If you're so good why can't you just win 2 fights in a row?

>>720401401
> win a fight
> instead of getting an advantage you turn into a cuck that has to play safe to not everything from dying once to a carry
yea, amazing, real fun design, at least e-sports deepshit can pog when the loser comes back

>>720401401
Because the map is now 40% bigger while Ward vision remains unchanged (slightly nerfed really because a lot of jungle is now low ground vision from random river running through it)
Meaning you have less map information and movement around the map is now a dice roll, engagement is random and you need infinite advantage to guarantee a winning engagement.
Yes, literally just like league.

>>720399598
>tournament organisers
is that valve or PGL?

>>720402172
That's part of the rule changes, so they can't reveal it.

>>720401775
Come on if you win a fight why can't you win another? Still better than
>lose a fight
>have to avoid enemy all the time and just farm hoping that you farm faster and catch up

>>720399615
i wouldn't be surprised if gabe has never even been in the same room as a PC running deadlock

>>720395028 (OP)
Why is he so skinny now? Is he sick? I hope he gets better soon.

>>720395028 (OP)
>I'm just like you gamers
stfu corpo

you realize he's going straight to hell, yeah?
he does not believe in chris who would give him eternal life and instead attempts to reach immortality or at the very least extend his life span or preserve his brain or some shit like that through his own strength via funding all manners of research for it, when his whole life is within his soul, which he cannot contain, and will immediately go straight to hell upon his death if he does no come to christ.

>>720402334
if you would win a fight - you would win it with or without comeback gold on an enemy and still would get some gold and objectives back, so the next fight would be easier.
Instead with comeback gold winning team could be winning every fight for 20 minutes and lose everything in one. It is not better.

but...why... fucking scrub, warcraft 3 was made because broodwar was 3hardcore5you

and then dota was made because the dogshit game of warcraft 3 was not casual enough and people are retarded so they stripped the heroes and made it a team game.

Shameful casual display from someone that grew up with Team Fortress 1 and Quake.

>>720403075
If "every fight in 20 min" is 2-3 fights then it's still fair. Having your winrate drop to 20% just because you lost the firstblood was the stupidest thing ever.

>>720403453
That's what you get when there's 4 clowns that you can barely control on your team

>>720395028 (OP)
Gaben we must become better men!

>>720403436

uuuuhh

>>720403665
Nah these stats were in TI stream.

>corporate CEO says he enjoys using their products
Is /v/ really retarded enough to believe this?

>>720399535
I believe the story that at one point gabe was addicted played a shitload of dota (mostly against bots as sand king from what i remember)
But yeah there's no way hes still playing.
And 0% Gabe has the ability to play deadlock

>Gaben LOVES Dota so much he stopped to attend their big events and just does a shitty 30sec video saying how much he totally loves the game instead
Yeah I'm sure he can enjoy playing Dota with 1000ms satellite internet on his yacht(s)

>>720404771
he plays bot matches

>>720404771
Starling is only 40ms

>>720395028 (OP)
that's why I got put in perma shadow pool, cause i pwned gabe in 2015

he said he plays exclusively against bots though faggottini

>>720407065
He said push barracks not pause for snacks

>>720407589
kek

>riot bans you if you say anything mean
>CEO of Dota gets told to kys while playing and doesn't care
And this is why valve is based.

>running
And this is where you lost me.

>>720399296
I recently started playing again after not touching the thing in a long time. Those retards are just whining like they always have. Sure a lot of things changed, but it's still the same DotA.

>>720406848
>uhmmm you only play one unit sooooooooo it's easy and not cool like my dead genre
That shit has always been retarded. You only play one unit in fighting and FPS games as well. There was and is tons of money in it, yet not a single RTS pro ever managed to achieve anything in Dota.
It's a different game.

>Fantasy Team had Yatoro and Mira
>Spirit and Aurora didn't even make top 8

What about you guys?

>>720395028 (OP)
whats gaben steam account?

>>720395028 (OP)
>moba shit
I disavow and take back anything good i may have said about this guy.

Gabe Newell is a scammer and belongs in federal prison for fraud.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

Gabe never has to buy a game, he just logs into a random persons account that already has the game bought and plays it. If you ever notice your gameplay time going up when you haven't been playing now you know. He also plays past the 2 hour refund window to troll people.

>>720410448
Why would he say what his account is? He's smurfing without the skill, just to avoid getting trolled.

>>720395028 (OP)
>Has been playing the game for over a decade.
>Still get called a noob

How shit is gaben at games?

>>720410602
>He also plays past the 2 hour refund window to troll people.
Based.

>>720410641
robin walker has admitted on a stream that he has a hidden backpack filled with all sorts of valve quality tf2 weapons with ridiculous stats like +1000% fire rate etc.

>>720410005
>>uhmmm you only play one unit sooooooooo it's easy and not cool like my dead genre
Yeah exactly. People are alergic to actual skill based games
>NO MUH APM NO STRATEGY

as they grind the most dogshit game for 100000 hours where a top player is no different from an amateur other than social relationships and time wasted. It's a game for sociopaths

>>720399535
he probably still play in whatever yatch he lives now
>>720404664
heard somewhere that TF2 playtests with gaben had to be done without medics on the teams because he would always be frustrated hat he couldn't kill medics with ubers.

>>720395028 (OP)
based

>>720412614
Nothing wrong with it, desu. Ability to make and enjoy games isn't the same as skill at winning them.

>>720395028 (OP)
WHAT ABOUT DEADLOCK MAN?

>>720415350
I disagree but regardless they only did that to appease gaben and let him play spy unbothered. probably didn't even take his playtests seriously.

>>720395028 (OP)
He doesn't love dota u fucking Pcbro, he's trying to make it harder to replace it with negrolock
People have been crying for dota 3 or an animation rework but he vives them nothing
Cuck

>>720415735
Valv3dron3 replaced by pcbro kek

>>720415735
>>720415792

>>720395028 (OP)
ANY NEWS ON HALF LIFE3?

>>720410703
because you had to play pretty much every day for a decade to keep up with peers
t. was 5k in ~2014 now in crusader/archon because i only play casually

>>720415735
deadlock IS dota 3

>>720398295
>Tanks can't thank
I think you you are talking about another game.

Dota never had "tanks" to "tank" damage.

>>720395028 (OP)

I have no idea why people sucked up to this multi million dollar corpo CEO so much.
