Meh, last year was already way too greedy and I'm sure it's even worse now
Does this battle pass include wait times less then 20 mins?
>$30 for virtual epeen
I'll take that neat dazzle staff for 9 cents.
I don't care
I'm glad I stopped giving a shit about Dota 2.
I even sold off all my remaining cosmetics to put towards Index
I hate that game and I hate "people" that play it
>MO'ROKAI
Fucking WHEW, Year Beast reskins.
This may be the first TI that won't crack the previous' TI prize pool
People still play dota?
>Hero Persona
Well now they're fully stealing LoL skins.
>annoying gimmick takes center stage
>terrain looks like the worst yet
>new features aren't very interesting
>returning features are all boring (kinda like trivia though)
>shota invoker
>axe but without the axe
>continually greedier level requirements
what in the fuck are they doing
is the most played game on steam now
>china TI
>packed with whale bait
It's breaking 40 million for sure.
I'm probably the only person looking forward to this on Yea Forums
As long as they wont goyim the shit out of me with those hundreds of dollars money sinks. fuck me I can't believe people did that shit.
>caring about a dead game nobody plays anymore
>As long as they wont goyim the shit out of me
bad news user
looks fine
people sperging out over stupid shit again
and no I dont play dota anymore
>bare-knuckle axe
this is reddit
Steam is a dead platform, old man.
nostradamus
kikery is getting bigger
bang bang bang
pull your wallet niggger
wich platform should i use, young boy?
we're talking about dota here, there's easily a shitload of people who don't mind throwing at least a few hundreds at this.
Cool battlepass but I think I'm gonna stick with the level 1 and see how far I can level it up. Bare-knuckle axe is cool but if it means I have to pay 50 dollars to get it, I'll pass.
HOW DID THEY KNOW MY ONE WEAKNESS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>shota invoker
So when are we getting loli Pugna?
Cool
But why are people whining like "so greedy" when you don't need any of it? Is 10 000 hours of gameplay for free really just too much?
Dota players are the greediest most entitled faggots on earth
>years waiting for a hero that punches as their main auto attack
>they finally made it
>a fucking axe cosmetic
At least we can now have the possibility of loli Rylai and Pugna
>So when are we getting loli Pugna?
1) Never
2) Because pugna is a boy so it would be shota again
>>shota invoker
imagine the porn
PUGNA
IS
MALE
Dota 2 isn't free anymore? It's devolving into subscription shit with exclusive shit and seasons and crap?
Now that cosmetic skins invoker and ES are on the table it's just a matter of time until genderswaps.
I can't contain myself bros
Apparently code snippets imply they were initially planning to do a female invoker so it's definitely on the table
There is no reason for them to turn pugna into female, if anything they would follow his original lore like they did with invoker
its all cosmetics dude
Glad I stipped buying this shit last year. This shit keeps getting greedier and greedier. Game has been dead for me for two years now. But I still watch big LANs
Maybe they'll bring back that imp/loli phoenix model that wasn't used.
Kek.
Reddit likes it so it's bad
HoN did it first
it's the exact same battle pass shit every F2P game does, ie it's for retards who want to pay $30 for exclusive skinner box rewards
>pay for the game to literally tell you when to pull camps and where to place wards
>all cosmetics
That's base game.
Fuck Dota 2, it deserves to die and be permacancelled.
don't do it, bro
I was level ~1100 last year and didn't even get all rares from the treasures.
Greedier how?
Levels and rewards look about the same and nobody actually cares about purple trails or whatever on auto attacks.
when will dota let me drop a giant pile of garbage on my opponents?
Anybody else buy it yet? I bought it but its still not active on my profile.
I meant the shota invoker specifically
I only need level 305 for it
He is canonically 6 years old, so we actually have a shota Pugna
of course fellow epic gamer, of course i've bought the grossly overpriced digital cosmetics that my FAAAVORITE company so kindly released right on schedule
game on bros!!!
God damn this has so much shit in it
>wanting to fuck a man
please don't leave your containment general, faggots
Well they have to keep raising the bar because they need to hit the old record each year while player numbers keep going down.
It feels like everyone is trying so hard to fit in. There are people on this site that do it too, but on reddit it feels so forced...
>see a drawing and immediately thinking about child fucking
Kill yourself, nonce.
>shota Invoker
what the fuck
I got to level 200 at the first compendium with the extra shit added and only bought the base one. I just played a lot of games and had fun. The next year I barely managed to reach level 75. They reduced drop chance for levels significantly imho. Now they're just adding stupid shit for whales to buy.
Jesus christ dude the amount of content in this shit is insane. They really went all out this year.
>I have never been on /d2g/, the comment
this won't work here.
>arcan shaker
>arcana invoker
>arcana tony
>half arcana axe
this is nice, shame i dont play as much nowdays
Imagine being so pathetic that you're cramming so much development time into a dead game. Said development time should have gone to Half-Life 3 instead.
I haven't played doto in like a year but am def playing again when I'm done with finals lul
I was already thinking about that
>it's the exact same battle pass shit every F2P game does
Maybe now they do. But they didn't use to, and neither did Dota 2.
It's time, fellow shotabros
I haven't played in a while too.
Just checked some my my cosmetics, jesus christ
That's like $75
>150 dollars for shota invoker
It will literally never be dead.
It should be dead.
just buy the standard pass and play every day, we'll make it
Is this gonna be the first year the prize pool isn't exceeding the last years'? Dota has peaked in popularity I feel like.
whew lad
my cosmetics were only worth a couple quid at most
I thought that would happen last year but then it didn't and now I don't know anymore.
best time of year cause I can sell my old immortals (like drow's silent wake) for $15 to some cuck who still plays this shit
lmao
Yeah I thought that last year too thats why I'm thinking it's surely gonna happen this year.
Maybe Valve won't let it though and pour some money in themselves.
Or has the game gotten more popular in China?
>literally gambling
>doesn't even pretend to be fair
popularity has increased in china because of autochess + this TI is being held in china + more shinies for the whales this year
It's going to be higher for sure
>tfw I sold a bunch of old dota 2 stuff to buy artifact cards
>it made me realize I don't actually need any of the battle pass item shit and the value it holds on the market is terrible even years later
>artifact literally killed the dota 2 jew for me
>to buy artifact cards
They had to, Artifact was a giant flop
epic games store
It's definitely not as popular, and less players are buying the compendium overall, but I'm sure that all these crazy rewards will have the fanboys spending a lot more than they did in previous years.
the graphic is just graphic like in xcom. The end result is purely based on the percentages from the server.
if this year's TI wasn't in China I don't think it would surpass, but since it is it will.
It was worth it for being free
we want those chink bux for chink ti
>all this cool shit that's literally impossible to unlock for free even if I play every day and do everything
I really hate what they've done to this game
I miss TI2-TI3 era so much
>LoLtrannies SEETHING itt
BASED
Ti2-ti4 was peak comfy dota. Especially with the eu hub.
I partly blame BTS for that.
They are trying way too hard to emulate the comfy of TI4 EU hub, year after year.
What the fuck? How much do you even gain per match? cool rewards go up to level 425 and the whole thing go up to fucking 2000! 45$ to start level 100.
I can't believe this shit.
Realistically, how long would it take to reach level 500 just by playing?
I would love that. I'm extremely bad at this game.
I hope we see TI return to the US someday, it was alot of fun to go to an international.
What's the new versus screen looks like?
Overwatch shit?
Well lucky for you, instead of learning mechanics you can drool on your keyboard while Valve holds your hand through them
Probably a 'you need to hire a vietnamese kid to grind games for you while you sleep'-tier number of games.
It's on the pass website. Looks pretty nice.

>haven't played in 3-4 years
>just got burned out from watching and playing so much on top of my comp dying
how is it? is it worth coming back
Bts has been anything but comfy with their shit tier "professional" casting and hubs. James getting fired made people very cautious and neutered their personalities knowing big boss Gabe can slam his billion dollar cock up your ass and you'll be forgotten like all the rest of the irrelevant dota 2 personalities.
Just like Las Vegas
Everyone knows it's rigged
Everyone plays anyway
If you are too successful they call the cops on you, which is just private security but are allowed to be called so, because it's unincorperated area officially run by the gambling mafia
Yes and instead we get slacks shoved down our throats non-stop.
Truly the worst timeline.
Assuming politics don't go bad, it will go to Moscow next year.
Russia has second most Dota players after China and Epicentre have always been a hit so far (unlike events organised in a certain country)
imagine being this cucked
Holy shit, I knew the guy was balding, but has it become this bad?
>James
When will he release his DOA shooting game?
I haven't played dota in a few years. How much would it cost me to get level 425 for that axe-less axe? Time wise or just plain old money wise
Every time someone uninstalled Artifact he lost another hair.
It was supposed to come out in March, who knows...
Like 180-200 USD or something
>Tfw haven't watched any Dota 2 streams since TI4 EUHub
I miss it. Is Yames banned forever?
People outside of Slavistan and Brazil still play DOTA? I thought Fortnite and Artifact killed it
The guy that went crying to gabe because James criticized how he ran the event probably has a vendetta against him.
fuuuuuck. Is 400+ level realistically achievable through just playing if you start out with the 100 level battlepass or is this valve being their typical jew selves and basically forcing you to shill out?
You know what is the sad thing?
Compared to other E-sports, Valve is actually pretty liberal in that regard.
Assuming you don't do it too often, you can actually say motherfucker in Dota and CS:GO and get away with it.
Blizzard and Riot on the other hand created a sterile environment where you can't even post harmless things, because they are supposed to be associated with American extremist groups. Now if you are Korean and don't care about American interior politics good luck finding out why you are banned or off the paycheck.
Won't work with valve anymore and since valve is consolidating every big tournament it's a death sentence. Even if he wants to go back to dota, he'll be relegated to casting/hosting irrelevant shit. You can thank DPC for that.
Have you tried not buying into every shitposter meme?
You can't recycle Immortals for levels anymore. Valve got even greedier than last year.
Depending how much Reddit bitches about that they will probably bring it back.
Is he still friends with Icefrog and Bruno though?
How long would it take to get everything?
im very tempted to play dota for the first time in 3 years
Well I guess I can just get it and then if i haven't reached the level I want i can just panic buy the levels the day before it ends and then regret wasting my money when i eventually quit again
That's the only silver lining with valve not becoming big brother like blizzard and riot. It's clear they want to be more professional in the presentation. But the eniyre casting and hosting scene is sterile and dull as fuck. This is because TI is being televised in some countries and in ESPN. Even though ESPN NBA show has a lot of trash talk and banter.
>You cant recycle immortals for levels anymore
And here i was thinking about playing again.
fuck that shit
I don't even play Dota or know anything about it but I just saw this post and wanted to tell you I empathize and I love you
Are you asking how long it would take to claim all the rewards and opening treasures and shit after buying 2000+ levels?
Probably multiple hours.
Idk about chilly toad but definitely still friends with Bruno. Though it must suck that the reason you're working at Valve in the first place because of your bro but when it came to choosing sides, he chose to stick to Valve. Then again, there might not be any hard feelings. I do miss Bruno hosting unlike these schmucks like nahaz and slacks.
Is it even fun anymore? im a shitter who always used viper just to get enjoyment out of the game, but everyone just complains about dota after the entire 7.0 patch i miss playing with my friends though
It's pretty much the best option since they will give multiple weeks warning before ending it anyway.
Why would you unironcially play this shit
>just missed a couple of versions where Viper was legit OP because of how fast he could farm woods
I'm sorry, user.
It's the best MOBA around if you're into the genre what with League dying
Yeah, between TI5 and TI7.
I thought ESPN lost all interest after TI7, though.
There weren't even awkward explanations at what TI8 was all about on conventional TV stations. Thus TI8 actually felt less plastic, especially compared to TI7 where it was less casting and more bad acting all around.
Castings and players are a different story. I am convinced there is a fair amount of nepotism going on in the casting scene, that actually prevents fresh young blood to be on the stage.
Same with the players. Only the Tier 1 teams actually get the millions. If you are Tier 2, forget it. Tier 3, may not even try. And some do. You may fish out Mind Control, GH and Topson out of nowhere, put them on decent teams and see the magic happen, but this is considered daring and only a few actually dare to do so.
So most of them just stick with guys like Bulba or Envy, or commit the mistake and invest in guys like Arteezy or PPD who may be a good player but so toxic they break the team apart.
>Won't work with valve anymore
other way around
You guys have had half the playercount / popularity of League for literally a decade now, you can relax.
It's over.
>Only the Tier 1 teams actually get the millions. If you are Tier 2, forget it. Tier 3
why would you give money to tier 2 and 3 teams? nobody cares about them. People barely even care about Tier 1 teams. The esports bubble popped
ti4 was the last entertaining ti
ti3 was best
James is a pretty dividing personality.
As far as I can tell, there was a small pro-James lobby at Valve mostly consisting of the guys who joined Valve when they decided to make Dota 2.
But a majority of Valve who don't have a Dota background were uneasy around him or even hated him guts. It was a clash of two worlds basically.
>most predatory battlepass yet
>half of the content isnt even out, just a "soon™"
>axe is now fist
and of course reddit schmucks are eating this up like a maggot eats shit
amazing how valve makes near 100mil off this game per year putting in the absolute minimal amount of effort possible
>predatory
stupid consumer cuck
>Not a single thing for my nigga Dirge
I may buy the lvl1 version if the event is good, otherwise fuck this
Then don't complain when 20 years later only washed up 40 year olds are playing competitively, watched by 30 year olds and no one else.
the game will be lucky to last 10 more years
video games aren't like real sports
CSGO has the healthiest scene, it does not rely on Valve at all. Even if they dropped out, there is a 250k tournament for every month literally.
2014-2015 era CSGO was absolutely the best, the production value and prize-pools were good enough already, the competition was huge, the teams were well established for the most part instead of changing every month, the hype around the game was big, literally everyone I knew played it. I still watch the majors sometimes but it's not the same.
also I think CSGO had the best casters

please spam shota-voker for me when you get him, anons
I'll greatly appreciate your dedication and efforts
Cant wait to murder a fucking child
He's not out just yet, but I will
>Finally quit game and concentrate on backlog
>this absolute unit of a BP comes out
Nuh-uh gaben, you ain't having any of my money this year
I'm considered selling my shit but I seriously doubt it's even worth the effort
>Valve added a shota
Its only a matter of time now
bless you user
he'll probably be allowed on /cm/ in a shota thread if you feel like throwing pictures there after he's released
stop with this meme
its probably because of your behaviour score
Its only a meme until she actually gets added user
Holy shit, that's great.
There's a few cool things in there this time actually but the level requirements are even more retarded than ever, what the fuck
>160 for new terrain and 182 for new creeps
that's already pretty harsh but then there's fucking
>255 for new tony
>305 for babbyvoker
>365 for ES arcana
>425 for unarmed axe
>1550 for the fucking ranged attack and it's not even permanent
unreal man, god fucking damn
trap shota?
>not knowing this as its literally one of the most basic mechanics
I haven't played this game in years. How much has changed and how well would I adapt?
dotabuff.com
Unless you actually spent money on chests/compendiums it's likely that your stuff is worthless (like ~$0.01 each item).
But it's doesn't hurt to check, and it's quite easy to do it.
is this based?
>stonetoss
funny how battlepass used to be a rare thing each year then Gabe has gone full jewish and shit these out at every occasion
fuck you now I can't unsee it

I coulda swear there were at least 3 battlepasses in the year I was quitting, did they get flamed for that and stop doing it?
youtube.com
CSGO used to be super comfy. It started getting a bit more serious around the time Turner launched Eleague but nothing like League or Overwatch levels. It's still not the same anymore sadly, some casters left, likeable players retired, teams are all over and keep changing constantly, the scene itself got oversaturated with too many tournaments.
Wait is that actually fucking Shmorky
Lmao. Dota players now get a "why didn't you buy Artifact?" tax. Got to fund the million dollar tournament somehow.
fuck off, wait times been shit for a long time now, players are getting split into too much shit
>It'll literally never make more than 2 heroes a year

haha its like the hatless tf2 update
>want to go back to dota 2
>"oh cool, new compendium, I think now it's the time"
>overpriced shit, the only stuff I want is locked behind shit tons of money and levels
Well, thanks Gaben guess I will not play again.
They had the 'seasonal' passes for the year they did the 3 big seasonal majors.
Since that system's been changed they moved it to a Dota+ subscription, not too costly and a decent amount of stuff to it. Don't think they got flamed for it because it seems most people liked passes instead of a subscription.
Probably a safer bet for the TI prize pool being high if you go 1 pass and a $40 yearly subscription than 4 passes.
People are still a bit mad that there's barely any content in Dota+ but I think that died down because most people use it for the Battlecup perks anyway.
nothing quite as fresh as 5 year old memes

I only play invoker.
Can i get the invoker item without buying this?
> EPIC CASTER PACK 1 (2018) LEVEL 665
Cringe
You can't, and won't be able to, same with the arcana for Earthshaker and the prestige item for Tiny. Now pay up, goy.
>tfw I never bothered to sell my 3 timebreakers when they were worth $150
HUEHUHEUE
UMA
DELIÇA
But it doesn't say "this item will never be tradeable bla bla bla" on the invoker or earthshaker, only on the tiny item.
Are you some kind of pedo?

>My backpack is worth over $500
>My fucking face when inflation has done me magic
but pugna is male user :)
and a skeleton :)
did you consider this? :)
now show us how much you've spent on dota
are they really worth that much
considering majority ofthe players bought the pass and almost everyone got their cosmetics
i didnt believe theyre worth that much
then again the non-payers outnumber even the tiniest of whales
I guess the treasures and its risk and reward is too tempting so the price goes up, the TI5 one goes for $25 or so
God now I wish I didnt check
I've made about $150 profit
Is there a way to see how much your inventory is worth other than going through it and checking each item by hand?
