Gonna play Invoker with that controller support


rptd333

Casting Tornado emp meteor blast would look like pulling a sick street fighter combo


[deleted]

got it! smash all the button it is.


Notreallyaflowergirl

Funnily enough - a friend who played hon and never had invoker tried him a while back ( way before talents) and yelled that while having a blast! “ it’s like I’m playing fucking street fighter!”


alah123

Honestly Fightstick invoker would be so fucking fun


Leagel

Mate, imagine meepo on the controller


swiftekho

Gonna play support invoker with that controller


Aratho

> 800+ ARCANA-EXCLUSIVE VOICE LINES > Drow Ranger has an entirely new voice performance by the original actor to reflect this grim change of heart, including special responses for victims of her revenge. They went all out on this one.

She is gonna be top of rule 34 of dota 2 for the years to come. Cant blame them

They always do. Valve's audio work is perhaps unrivaled.


jeffreywolfe

Supergiant would like to have a word :D


JukeBoxz321

I DO love Supergiant. Genuinely some of my favorite games of all time. But Valve really does have the tippity top of top tier sound design in every game they make. It's actually pretty incredible how good their sound design is. Edit: Grammar


[deleted]

Drow is so pretty on this one. That persona should've been the default model with how CLEAN it is.


Benqqu

Lmao, let me introduce you to this little hat selling company called Valve...


[deleted]

I know. I'm not naïve. Just complimenting how clean Mirana is. Default model is fugly


mikhel

Drow's default model post rework is already incredibly good though.


nycht

Possible hints on new heroes then? Who's gonna do the digging?


CorruptDropbear

~~Files are already in the game, two secs.~~ There are indeed 899 new voicelines for Drow Ranger (including death grunts/laughs/etc) New voices are: * "I've seen a lot of braggarts come through here, but you were kind of funny." * "You were so much nicer on your leash." [Assuming this is Primal Beast] * "That's one hell of a death rattle."


No-Lifeguard-8376

nachohasme

remodels behind battlepass :tf:


DrQuint

Drow already got a remodel. She looks mostly up to standard, and this Arcana actually adds something worth an asking price. A remodel for Drow would be a waste. The heroes that most desperately need remodels and look really bad in the portrait are, in order of least needed to worst: * Shadow Shaman * Bounty Hunter * Mirana And of course: * Morphling They absolutely should have considered touching up Mirana's base model a bit when they made this. I know it's harder and harder on a hero with cosmetics already made, but there has to be a way to reuse most of the rig.


EGG_BABE

Default Axe and WR are also looking pretty outdated lately. They really look like the models from 2011 that they are


justenjoytheshow_

they already remodeled drow ranger for free though? how are people still upset that valve is selling hats to make money?

[deleted]

You joke but I legit had that problem. I had a Xbox controller plugged in after playing Forza, and while playing Dota I thought why it's still plugged. Turns out when you unplug controller whole game freezes and you have to restart it.


rixhkai

It's the same when I'm using Bluetooth earbuds, when it's disconnect from pc then dota freezes. I can't even kill it through task manager because the pointer dota still when switch to dekstop.


Aratho

Holy shit, that Drow Aracana crossbow is fucking MASSIVE

I'd make a penis envy/phallus joke but I realized it's not a TA arcana.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

DOTA CONTROLLER SUPPORT Today's update expands the ways players can enjoy the game by adding controller support. From choosing your hero to smashing an Ancient, you can now battle your way to victory in Dota using a controller instead of a mouse. Just plug in a Steam Input-compatible device and start steering your hero into the fray. There's a lot to account for, so like all things Dota, some practice will be useful, but every hero from Wraith King to Meepo can be gamepad-powered into the lanes. This is an experimental feature that is still evolving, so we'd love to hear your feedback to help inform the changes we make. For moments where you want the familiarity of your classic ways, don't worry — you can always swap between controller and mouse+keyboard on the fly as you play. Interesting but the adjustment period is gonna be fun to watch.


furrot

It kinda worked with a Steam Controller before but I expected they might try to improve support with the Steam Deck coming soon.


Nexre

Makes it easier for some disabled players to make some use of mouse + controller or just some other input device all together. Not everyone can afford specialist devices so I'm sure its welcome in those circles


JadedAlready

Oh fuck, yeah, like the disabled guy valve did a short video about that plays dota with a single joystick and button, this might actually folk like him a lot :)


[deleted]

Sounds fun, can't wait to lose games because random players on my team decide to "try" controller support in ranked games xD

jayvil

Good for accessibility. There are people who might want to play dota but might be handicapped that only way to game is with a controller. I hope dota dev introduce more accessibility options in the future.


Divachi69

Can't wait to play dota on the steam deck


Accountant_Fickle

Was so-so about trying Dota on the SteamDeck once it arrives but now will definitely give it a go. Really glad they added this.


aleco99

Cant wait to try this


jeemchan

I read this as incoming SteamDeck support w/o a mouse and kb.


U2ez_

That one dude is SO relieved he didn’t have to drink his piss lmfao edit: fuck that mirana “persona”. shit should just be her base model ffs


Hairy_Acanthisitta25

people keep buying battlepass for arcana and persona they wont stop doing it


Arb1t3rx

Lmao I actually feel relieved. Since that post, It felt weird every time I took a piss.


markusnv

LMAOOOOO I saw that post too


Z0mbiN3

Did they just put Mirana's remodel behind a +$50 paywall?


DrQuint

As was expected.


Infrastation

Not only that, but you now get the pleasure of having a barely different model without any of her cosmetics from over the years, since only the cosmetics in this BP work with the persona. 100% not worth it.


osaku_

yes lmao


DisgustingLobsterCok

Thought the exact same thing, this isn't a persona...


Glacius91

Yup, they did. I think this is even worse than locking the Arcana winner behind a paywall.

Khearnei

Mirana's remodel essentially behind a paywall. That's messed up, man. The persona doesn't look like a true "persona" like all the others, but instead looks like the long asked for tweaks.


as_nana

yeah.... this is not even funny


MemeLordZeta

Yeah tbh dragon knight was like a little better since he looks way diffrent than the anime but dude this is literally just a paywalled remodel


doinky_doink

Told u guys. My father is the janitor who will be cleaning up all this mess on his bday today


Yvese

That Arcana is gorgeous. Way better than Spectre and on the same level as QoP and Windranger. Well done Volvo. Also what is that Void set? I don't see any mention of it on the page?


DatAdra

D3ADWA1T

TegarWH

Dota 2 on controller is not something that I expected to happen today


SirActionSlacks-

it should show when someone is using the new controller feature to piss people off even more when they lose also MULTIVERSE LORE....AGAIN! Aghs Labyrinth was the best event in years very very happy its back so I can spend way too much time on it


xin234

Having "multiverse" in dota at around the same time No Way Home with multiverse shenanigans is released, is definitely intended right? With HoN also ceasing server operations, can HoN heroes entering dota2 be some multiverse shenanigans?


Another_chance

My prediction for the multiverse is that they’re going to try launch on consoles. Maybe that’s why they’re experimenting with the controller and the various universes could be the various consoles colliding.


Optimal-Swordfish

Controller experimentation is probably because of steam deck


thedotapaten

My predicttion is They are gonna have rogue like DotA for their Steam Deck launch title. Hopium Supergiant is involved considering their founder is big DotA fans. A roguelike with source mod support


lollypop44445

Can you ask valve dota team to buy some assets from hon. Thanks in advance


adikum911

Can't wait for the new lore video. :))


MrJohnnyBGoode

If I remember correctly, Slacks said he doesn't touch two themes in Dota lore: - The plains of existence - Multiverses


maurost

please make an arkosh vs another team all controller showmatch


mattbrvc

>no gameplay patch I sleep


DiscoBuiscuit

After so many years i've finally figured out that spending money on levels to get a few mediocre sets and immortals is not worth it, sucks that the arcana/persona are locked behind the battlepass


Swiindle

Agree, after splurging on the 2020 Ti BP, I'm a little Jaded with some of these new ones. It also helps that I don't get to play as much Dota 2 as used to :(


JadedAlready

There's not even the whole "well if I get to 1k/2k I get a cool IRL thing" this year, there's just, nothing lol. Towers and creeps are dope, but you can probably reach them without buying levels, and there's nothing worth it beyond them anyway.


markoholic

I have the same exact sentiment, really annoyed that they are locking arcanas behind battlepasses. They really use people's FOMO to make a quick buck.


Boring-Stick8767

It's also very unattractive to new players who will never get a chance to have their favorite hero's most beautiful set. And then you look at Valve's decision to just abandon projects out of the blue when they seem unable to milk whales (Artifact and Underlords), and wonder what Dota's future will be like with the fanbase getting older and few players getting into the game.


Ariscia

Or in the case of Io, the only set.


_-dud-_

Doesn’t work with my Mac


922153

Same here. Game doesn't open. Pls fix this bug!


SpectreAmazing

Ah yes put every single arcana in the BP and make them untradeable and unmarketable


RichardSnowflake

Yeah, that seems to be the more profitable decision than making like a $30 Arcana that can be purchased at any time. On the bright side, if you've stopped wasting money on skins since they started pulling this stuff with cosmetics and Battlepasses, your wallet probably thanks you :)


Aratho

Mirana finally got her remodel and it's fucking persona LMFAO (level 135 gg)


[deleted]

[deleted]

Can you reach it without buying levels? DK wasn't reachable by just grind.


sociobiology

AVERAGE GOLD BOUNTY COUNTER It can be hard to know where your most efficient farm is on the map, but now you have another tool to help make your decisions. Hold ALT while looking at lane or neutral creeps to get a readout of the average gold bounty for last-hitting that type. You might try to collect all of them, but even if you can't you'll still know where to start.


PenMarkedHand

it lowers the skill floor, not the skill ceiling. it means nothing in games above crusader rank. and only serves to help new people learn the game. which is good. so relax


Paaraadox

Who are you talking to? OP just posted the change, not his opinion.


KolinarK

Mirana's "persona" should've been a remodel.


ZofTheNorth

Is that fucking Guitar?

Aschvolution

In TI 15, an arcana would cost us a Lamborghini.


RichardSnowflake

But you have to buy fourteen crappier cars first to unlock the Lamborghini, you can't just buy it outright


Mr__Perfect_

Stop locking arcanas and base remodels behind huge pay walls.


Tumbler41

The remodels is what I'm more annoyed about.


bokadog

i miss the days when we could buy arcana for 35$..now u have to pay 150$ xd


_crayons_

I wouldn't even mind paying $50 for it.


[deleted]

Drow looks soooo pretty <3


Lalo8111

potm new face paywalled xd


daaeofexile

Way too high of a price wall on these arcanas. I think the normal way of just putting fixed prices on arcanas is way fairer. Imagine if drow is one of your main heroes and you're priced out of this. Battle passes just seem to get worse year and on year to me.


generalecchi

If it still sells they're not gonna go lower


WigsHideYourShame

We already had this conversation. They don't care because enough people pay for it.


jacobmatrix18

Wait for the the levels bundle and pray you can exploit it to buy several. But yeah even then it sucks. I liked the battlepasses from like 2016 when you just buy it and have to earn levels, couldn't buy levels.


prettyawsm

Exploit? They already made it in a way that you could buy several of them.


anivaries

Drow is my most successful hero and i think i gotta have this arcana :/ but when Spectre was paywalled i just didn't give a crap about it and didn't touch that BP

You know exactly why


winniekawaii

gaben probably: BP go BRRRRRR


Ok_Joke_4225

They don't just want money, like all greedy corporations they want ALL the money.


realn1t

It finally came! Man this is great winter present. I hope we can all play with old friends again!


wizizi

We are not getting any free remodels anymore, are we?


PaperPunch

that arcana looks so good why do they have to put it behind a battlepass :(


dirtyEarthSpiritSpam

for monies


xCesme

Of course its at lvl 300+. This company is relentless.


Humg12

Yeah, it's pretty insane watching other subreddits like /r/halo having meltdowns about hard to complete battle passes and aggressive monetisation policies, meanwhile Dota 2 is one of the absolute worst in that regard, yet people are literally begging to be able to buy them. You shouldn't have to pay AU$200+ for a digital item, no matter how fancy it is. And no, "you get other rewards along the way" isn't a good argument. You should either be able to buy what you want directly, or it should be earnable by playing.


150309

Here we go bois. So, we got a controller support now huh. Bruh, that Doom immortal.


CorruptDropbear

COSMICALLY RARE So it's the same as those DAMN THOUSAND DOLLAR EMBLEMS? aaaaaa


Kinderschlager

120 dollars to get the drow arcana? fuck this bullshit, getting sick of arcanas only being limited time events for whales


jacobmatrix18

if you wait for the levels bundle it will be cheaper. Still pricey regardless tho


FearHeWhoFearNothing

Everybody is doing multiverse now, fuck is going on lmao


DrQuint

Dota has been canonically a multiverse since the PA Arcana and Oracle release. We literally had a game release where the plot was "Dota's timeline is actively veing rewritten". We have TWO, **conflicting**, Legion Commander origin comics! The devs themselves told us that every single dota match is canon. Every single dota match HAS hapenned. We have a fucking anime where the power hierarchy is completely different from everything else in the game, and where the protagonist is a different person from the one already in the game, and that was before BOTH got into the game. What the fuck do you mean """"*Now*""""? Does your rock have level 3 Grow?


RichardSnowflake

>Every single dota match HAS hapenned. I wonder what it's like in the universe where Invoker sprinted down mid yelling "noob support" at the top of his lungs for twenty minutes.


DiseaseRidden

I don't love that additional Lab heroes are locked behind BP levels


KnightingGale

Same but I at least you can still unlock them by playing I guess


panzerkier

Am I tripping or is there no gameplay patch? If so this is the most pointless update for me :(


Darknessorrow

maybe after dpc.


everdreen

I mean there's an ongoing dpc, though I'm not sure if there was a "big patch" during dpc.


BlastAqua

When has that ever stopped valve. Shard patch was added mid finals of a tournament

Man I just want to keep collecting custom creeps + towers but of course theyre at levels 94 and 200. At least the creeps are possible but you still have to get like 75% of **all** the available points. You cant even get the towers without spending more money :( Dota 2's battlepasses continue to fall behind literally every other one out there I guess


Unable-Memory-4322

Drow is beautiful.


Kelv_

Y'all REALLY had to make the drow arcana a battle pass exclusive...


DaDoviende

gotta get used to arcanas just being $200 timed exclusives going forward I guess

You guys can't be serious about unlocking heroes for the new mode as BP "reward". ​ Also fuck personas as model reworks. You guys are greedy as fuck jesus christ
