no longer an update
as of 5 hours ago
ok, I've got the hang of Dota again
I don't know if I think the changes are actually good or not, the TTK rebalance and move speed changes
the map being bigger doesn't feel like it adds anything either, moving around the interior jungle camps is w/e but the side lane camps seem kind of redundant
lotuses are also fine ig, but seem like could just be part of a general consumable rebalance, if you want to cut down on stocks of tangos/clarities
runes feel WAY worse, would like to see their durations increased, maybe keep the same for bottled runes, idk
tp changes are positive overall, the gates seem kind of pointless? and the outposts/ward things feel like they valve doesn't know what they want to reward in the game
I like having aghs upgrades for everyone, but the aghs shards are stupid
I felt the same way about the lvl-up tree at first (and still do)
but the aghs shards factor into team balance in such a stupid opaque way
I think I like that creeps feel weaker though
makes pushing require more time and comittment
breaking high ground is cancer again though
so RIP any progress that was made to decrease game time
I agree with Max that dust is the worst change
new items are fine, albeit usually have way the fuck too many words
some of the new item recipies are dumb, but probably helped balance things, Silver Edge is the only one that really annoys me
and the whole stat change with universal heroes
is pointless
it's like giving camouflage to a golden retriever and expecting it to maul a cop
they can see it coming a mile away Bob

I might have given it more of a look if BG3 and Armored Core weren't both coming out this month
