Hello! It has been some time I know, but I've just now had the time to goof around with 7.00 and figured I'd write a blog about my thoughts (Since everyone is entitled to my opinion).


New UI
In keeping with the OSFrog philosophy of "If it ain't broke, thoroughly **** it up." The complete butchering of the UI was disorienting for me and absolutely unnecessary. The previous UI had all the info you needed with requring you to hold down keys or hover your mouse over a microscopic icon.

Ultimately, the changes mean I will have to learn how to play this game again.

Hero Remodels:
I love the new models for Viper and Slardar, but I didn't think that Enigma really needed a new model, especially when Jakiro is in desperate need of a visual overhaul.


Talents
I haven't had time to test out all of the talents (Though I've gone through Shadow Fiend's and while his level 10 talents are a tad redundant for those who favor the casual Yasha, the rest are fairly solid) but I find it interesti…

Greetings From Exile! While I may not be playing Dota at the moment, that doesn't mean I've been away from the game or this site! Since the current trend is everyone making their own version of 6.89, I figured I may as well join in! Hope you enjoy! And I'll probably add more stuff that I recall.

General:
-Fixes a glitch where a hero called " Slark" appears in the hero selection pool.
This glitch is absolutely game breaking, I think this hero might still be in development since his abilities clearly aren't properly balanced yet.

- Elder Titan Is added to the game.
I really liked this hero in Dota 1 and I've been waiting for a long time for Ice Frog to add him in Dota 2.

- Silver Edge debuff (the break and damage reduction) are now dispellable by becoming spell immune.
PA, put down the Battle Fury and pick up the Black King Bar

NEW ITEM:
THE WABBAJACK!
Builds From: Level 5 dagon plus 1500 gold Recipe
What does it do? A more appropriate quest would be what DOESN'T it do? Each time y…

Why hello there! I bet you're all wondering what I've been up to! Even if you're not interested, too bad! Because I'm going to tell you anyways! Since I've apparently managed to get a month ahead in classes, I decided to play some dota this past week... with a TWIST!

Sure, some of you might be curious about the #roadto2k and rightly so, but after seeing what happened to our good friend Xyrus, I've decided to put ranked play on hold for the time being, in order to avoid the burnout or worse, lose the ability to have fun playing this game. (But if you MUST know where I'm at, you'll be pleased to know that I'm sitting pretty at 1.5K, the halfway point so to speak)

It's actually convenient that I bring up the whole 2k Quest and the brutal MMR burnout because it does segue more or less into the aforementioned twist I've implemented this past week. What could this twist possibly be? I've done nothing press the Random Button for each match I played this week!

Before I get too into depth, l…

The time has come for another Right-Click build and it has been far too long since I last made one. In the midst of school, ****-posting, dank meme expeditions and whatever else I've been doing in service to the Dank Side of the Dota, I've failed to bring you guys innovative, game-breaking right-click builds. But that ends today! For the focus of this build shall be the most cancerous hero in the 6.84 version of this game:



While Winter Wyvern may have gotten have nerfed and deservedly so, she's gotten some huge indirect buffs that have allowed to her to adapt to the 6.86 meta in ways that only I've discovered and will generously share with you!

Now here are some reasons I've decided to chose Winter Wyvern as the subject for this build:

-Superior Version of Sniper: artic burn at max level buffs Winter Wyvern's attack range all the way up to 1000! That means no one's getting away from you and I've prepared this build with the skill in mind!

-Farming ability: Splinter Blast was…

Weight loss aside, another New Year's Resolution I've made for my self is to get to 2K MMR! After watching MMR boosters, I came to realize that it is, in fact, possible to win games in a 1v9 scenario. It's all simply a manner of having a hero pool I am comfortable with.

As time goes on, I will be updating this blog entry or simply make new ones

Ranked Games: 0
Solo MMR: 1362
Party MMR: TBD (Dotofire giff 5 stacks pls)

Among my 10 most played heroes, Shadow Fiend is the one that I feel best is suited for the task as I continue to build my hero pool. Despite the nerfs to his early game and indirect nerfs resulting from the reduction of Bottle's mana restoration, SF can still win a vast majority of mid matchups and has pretty good item flexibility.

I feel like having a hero pool of 5 to let's say 8 heroes for ranked, what do you guys think?
Should I learn the ways of the rat and consider working heroes like Tiny or Nature's Prophet into my "…
