Seems an old patch was reverted that was causing some performance regressions. Should mean really good things for SteamOS and the Steam Deck

Remember Dota 1’s Spirit Breaker would keep farting when you kept clicking him and does his monologue?

Matrix is not FUN. It’s strong, sure, it makes him viable in high level dota, but it’s not fun for anyone, it’s annoying to play against and it’s not fun to play with. Free tp is just… why? And new passive is just a pathetic replacement of old rearm, not even weaker, just less fun.

All the changes that this hero suffered from 7.28 to 7.36 made him less fun but more powerful, which does not make sense in any way. He was fine when he did not have matrix and free BoTs, he held bottom of pickrate list and constant 49% winrate, and only dedicated ultraspecialists played him, as it has always been meant to be.

Valve, you already did that with invoker and silencer, revert tinker to good old pre 7.28 days when he was fun and not broken, tinker SHOULD NOT be meta

“You’re always cursing and complaining when playing this game, why not play something else?”

I play pos5 5k MMR. She’s right, I hate this game but I can’t quit. I’m numb to my pos 1 going into a fight at 20% HP and ping me after they die.

Tired of playing old boring melee charcters like Abrams, Calico, heck even shiv, viscous or even dynamo? PLAY GREY TALON. His gun is the only one that scales off of spirit power so he’s absurdly broken late game. With the right build you can do upwards of 1000 damage per heavy melee without golem statue buffs. It is never seen before and will be the new meta in eternal very soon.

For those that don’t know what this means: Holding a game hostage involves a player or players taking actions that deliberately stall or prevent the game from ending normally.

In my case my team was dominating and we weakened their patron at about 25 minutes. My teammates decide that despite having a massive advantage and more than enough momentum they want to back out of the enemy base. Then they kill boss, but don’t take the rejuvenator, and instead type in all chat for the other team to come get it. Gray Talon on the other team comes to get it, and then immediately gets killed once it is secured for the other team. We wipe their team twice after this but my team refused to get in the pit and kill their weakened patron, thus holding the game hostage. I was running support Kelvin so I could’t get in the pit and kill the patron by myself.

The whole time my team is on comms talking about intentionally not ending the game so that they can draw it out and have fun …

I unironically play geist support and mirage support.

I max out life drain first then acquire rescue beam after a couple other items so I can provide maternal reassurances in a bad french accent over the mic as I spew health into my team mates like a mama bird while “MEDIC!” from the Team Fortress sound track plays in my earphones.

I teleport halfway across the map to give a divine barrier and a healing nova to my team mates before tornadoing and slowing hexing the one who initiated them to turn around the engagement for a quick kill like a proper body guard before asking for payment delivered in shares of Wyoming.

I want more. Hit me with your crackpot support ideas.

Please.
