As for the meta. It's shifting entirely to the professional esports level and the pub meta has seriously suffered for it. I still hear "SHRAPNEL! HOHO! HAHA!" in my nightmares.
Man, Internet just loves to jerk off Gabe Newell, Reddit more that anything.
Seriosly, it's super Tsundere, even with some yandere in there. Oh, Vavle did something that we didn't like - THEY'RE EVIL NOW!!! IT'S OVER! (run away crying). Oh, a hat (runs back into hand of Newell).
@Shellhit: None taken, & what I meant was that how much fun you have depends on what kind of people you team with. It may have been worse in the past, but since I began playing (a bit over a year ago) I've found players to be a mix of good and bad, instead of ALL bad.
Valve is turning to shit now that they only sell other people's stuff instead of dedicating themselves to making their own. They got bloated with the profits, and arrogant in their dealings with the player base. Customer support is atrocious, quality control is nonexistent. It's all about the dosh.
The problem with paid mods isn't that modders shouldn't be paid, it's tha the method by which Valve is doing it is not only unethical but legally untenable. It's too loosely defined, there are too many loopholes, and already you see people abusing things with content theft - and this on the prelimin
@Technature: I'd offer to team with you in the hopes of you having a less asshole-filled Dota experience, but I'm sure you don't have the game installed any more. In my experience it isn't bad ALL the time, not these days at least.
@artealen.
No. Valve isn't taking 75% of the profits. they're taking right around the same as the modder. the rest goes to the game developer. AND valves cut is shared with various mod development tools such as blender or nexus mods.
@Suspicious the biggest problem here is not that you need to pay for mods now. the deal is valva takes 75!!!!% of the sales. FOR LITERALLY DOING NOTHING! that's bullshit.
But my favorite part is when faceless void won the rework vote. Good god did I love the salty posts on reddit. Honestly that's when Reddit found out it wasn't the voice of the Dota 2 community! They were all voting for Viper, Zues, and or Sladar. That is when I really enjoyed reddit!
Would have upvoted comments on trying to be witty or an overused stupid meme. Man at least with Playdota or Dev Dota you get the occasional valve Dev come by. I have yet to see valve people do appearances on reddit outside of AmA or really angry posts. Sometimes I hate reddit so much....
Despite what reddit thinks, I am going to go with the fact that Valve would pay more attention to Playdota and Dev Dota forums since y'know it's purely focused on the game rather than not the stupid upvote and downvote system. Granted it can be garbage sometimes but damnit sometimes a good topic 1/2

Well it's not like I take anything reddit says seriously, and I stopped giving a darn about moba's long ago. But paid mods will only be hurtful for the community. I had to stop playing skyrim because all my mods jsut kept brekaing the game over and over again. I don't want to pay for that!
Oh, okay, so it's r/dota that all these horrible ideas and godawful decisions have been coming from. It's not icefrog that I hate, it's every other stupid person who plays Dota. Glad to have that cleared up.
Ugh, sorry, sorry, TRYING not to be negative, but Dota is a very very negative game.
The majority of users that Reddit is supposed to represent are dumb dumb anyway. Remember when Void won that contest? The most awful stil are those who hate the game, but play it to find more reasons to complain about it
I don't really understand all the hate over allowing developers to put prices on their mods. They do work, too, and if they want to get paid for it they now have an easy way to do so.
The only caveat to this, which hopefully Valve will solve, is people publishing other modders' work.
@Beastwolf: Reddit use a Up-Down vote system to promote their content. The more upvotes in a short amount of time, the more relevant, and therefor "promoted" the reddit post is.
truetruetruetruetrue.
And yes, bugs, meta is fucking horrible, servers like to choke themselves sometimes, the hats are meaningless. About the heroes, stop being fucking homo icefrog.
