DotA 2, mi historia. También UPDATE 6.82

[Rhapsody]

Bueno ameew0s, compañeros, colegas peruanos, compañeros de feeds y throws descomunales; así como también de stomps, comebacks increíbles.
Les escribo esto con dolor en el alma, en mi corazón dotero. El día de hoy, 23/09/2014 va a quedar marcado para siempre por lo que ocurre en el siguiente update, el 6.82...

Pero primero les voy a contar la una historia, mi historia, como para hacer más dramático todo.
Todo empezó hace muchos años, unos 7 creo, cuando yo estaba en 2do año del liceo, con unos amigos siempre íbamos al ciber. Ni bien tocaba el timbre para salir del liceo, los sábados, corríamos al ciber más cercano a viciar con lo jueguitoh. Entre ellos, el viejo y querido WIII.
Hasta que un día llegamos y el ciber tenía las máquinas ocupadas, LPM pensamos todos, sin saber lo que esto ocasionaría. Resulta que los pibes que nos había comido las máquinas, estaban jugando al WIII, pero no al WIII común, estaban jugando en un mapa distinto, ¡Manejando solo a los héroes!. En el momento no entendíamos nada, y un amigo nuestro, les preguntó a estos pibes que carajo era lo que estaban jugando.
Si, así fue como conocimos al DotA.

Ese sábado nos quedamos parados mirando a los pibes jugar, hasta que se hizo tarde y nos fuimos pa las casas. Pero nos fuimos con tremendo hype de probar nosotros mismo aquel modo de juego tan llamativo. Al siguiente martes, o miércoles, creo, nos faltó un profesor y salíamos unas horas antes, nos miramos y ya sabíamos lo que pensaba el otro. Vamo pal ciber a probar el DotA!

Al principio no la encarabamos nada de nada, entendíamos re poco pero ta, nos divertíamos. Las primeras partidas comimos como loco con los bots, pero después de unas cuantas logramos ganar nuestra primera partida vs bots en fácil. Estoy casi seguro que mi héroe era el Viper, o sino el Yurnero, eran los únicos héroes que jugaba.

Y ta, lo demás es historia conocida. Cuando me pusieron internet en casa gocé como loco. Y ahí encontré garena y ombuserver, ahí ya dejamos de ser 5 o menos vs bots ¡Ahora era con gente! Ahí fue que conocí el puto cáncer que son los peruanos, como quiteaban como loco. Encontré el término QQ, que viene del Warcraft, que mandabas alt+ Q Q para quitear del game del todo. Como odiaba a los soretes que no me dejaban terminar una puta partida loco :@
O sino cuando eramos 10 'conocidos' y guardábamos las partidas para nunca jamás retomarlas.

Luego vino un tiempo en el que dejé de jugar. Ya no tenía ameew0s para jugar, y entre el cáncer de la gente random, ya ni me pintaba jugar.
Hasta que, un día que no me acuerdo del 2011, estando en primero de bachillerato en la utu, encontré el DotA 2. Inmediatamente me piró la bocha, llené un formulario que había para que te mandaran la BETA, de paso, esa es la historia de como conocí steam y me hice una cuenta.
Al mes creo, o un poco más, ¡La beta llegó!

Las primeras partidas me acordaba de lo básico, y estaba maravillado con los gráficos, que si los comparas con el DotA 2 actual, daban asco.
Igual yo estaba encantado, me habían facilitado comprar los items, y un montón de boludeces más.
Me acuerdo que usaba solo a la Drow Ranger, le sacaba Butterfly de una, o sino Buriza, y después derecho para el Rapier jaja. Eso me lo acordaba clarito :P
Las partidas estaban llenas de maricones, la frase mas usada era 'Just QQ already', la cual los newfags no entendían, obviamente. Entonces ahí fue cuando me dí cuenta, que por un lado iba a haber mas gente jugando, pero también se iba a llenar de cáncer, cáncer peruano, el que yo tanto odiaba.

Al principio todo era excelente, los parches cada vez mejoraban más cosas del mapa, estéticamente hablando. Y agregaban mas y mas héroes del viejo y querido DotA.
Pero desde hace unos meses, ya se sabía que todo estaba por cambiar...
Gabe solo quiere plata... Al principio con los internationals estaba todo zarpado, ganaban guita colo loco, de más está decir que el último international, la comunidad aporto 10 MILLONES DE VERDES para los premios. Sin contar con todas las compras de items en la store de steam y todas esas manos.
Y como ya dije, Gabe quiere plata y mas plata. Y eso como se logra? Atrayendo mas gente, PUTOS CASUALS, que vienen a dejar su plata, que solo quieren colores y no aprecian el excelente juego que tienen adelante. JUGADORES DE LoL, que se iban dando cuenta de la verdad, pero a su vez venían trayendo su cáncer.

Por mi lado, esto es lo peor que hay. Ya no se puede jugar una partida completa solo, si jugas con gente random es un cáncer jugar. Tenés que tener 5 amigos para que en tu team no te toque ningún peruano feeder. O que se queme 'pq no asen gank pe, el mid no biene pe, nadie compra guards ctm' CHUPAME LA PIJA PE.

Pero esto a Gabe no le importa, el quiere plata, CHUPAME LA PIJA GABE, me diste tremendo juego, y ahora me lo sacás.

Y con esta breve introducción, llegamos al centro del problema.
Para atraer a nuevos newfags, casuals y todo ese cáncer, ESTÁN CAMBIANDO LA ESENCIA DEL DOTA.

Empezaron por cambiar cosas del mapa, para hacerlo más fácil, después agregaron heroes fáciles de usar, después cambiaron de lugar los camps, para que el pull no fuese tan efectivo.

Y AHORA, ME CAMBIAN DE LUGAR A ROSHAN, CARAJO. Los putos que no entienden las ventajas y desventajas de jugar en cada lado el mapa, se quejaban de que los Dire, tenían ventaja al momento de hacer Roshan, y claro, no jugaban pe, porque me ganan pe.
AGREGARON UNA RUNA, carajo, que mierda? No se ni de que es.

La cosa es, les venía re contento a dejar el changelog del update. Lo venía leyendo re contento, hasta que vi lo de que movieron el Roshan pit, ahí ya me quemé y dejé de leer.
Igual les dejo el link para que lo lean ustedes. Ya ni se si voy a hacer un review del chengelog...

DAMAGE TYPE CHANGES


A few abilities and damage type mechanics have been reworked. There are now three primary damage types and a Spell Immunity Piercing status with each. Each ability now carries a notation in the tooltip indicating these.


The three damage types are Physical, Magical and Pure.


Physical is affected by Physical Armor, Magical is affected by Magical Damage Resistance and Pure is affected by neither.


Magic Immunity has now been renamed to Spell Immunity. Spell Immunity only defines if Spells interact with it, not how damage itself is handled. This means that on its own Spell Immunity status does not reduce any damage.


Black King Bar, Repel, Rage and all other previous forms of "Magic Immunity" now grant Spell Immunity status and a 100% Magic Resistance bonus.


In the vast majority of cases, the interactions are still the same, however an example of a case that would be different is if an ability has both Spell Immunity exception and has Pure damage type. Previously the damage would not have any impact, however now it does.


Ability Tooltips now have these fields:


-Damage Type: Physical/Magical/Pure
-Pierces Spell Immunity: Yes/No


If the Damage Type is not Magical it will be colored differently to make it easier to notice. The same is true in cases where Pierces Spell Immunity is Yes.


There have been a few abilities rebalanced with these mechanics in mind. In some cases the intent is to maintain similar balance, in other cases as an adjustment to their balance.

2) HP Removal: This is no longer considered a Damage Type, and its remaining uses are as an alternative cost to Mana for spells to use (Sunray, Burning Spears) or as functional HP modifications (Armlet, Sunder, etc). These are now considered usage costs in the game and are never lethal.

Y bueno, con esto voy concluyendo.
Por mi parte, no voy a jugar más al DotA 2, voy darle hasta que salga este parche y después con un poco de suerte vuelvo a jugar al 1 los fines de semana, o algo de eso. Tendré que ver. Lo que es seguro, es que este "DotA 2" para casuals, no es lo mío.

Voy a sumonear a mis compañeros de los DotA, para que me acompañen in my darkest hour. Comenten gurice, si están conmigo o con el enemigo! :P @Santoxx @Master of the Wind @Guille @burzuM @enrokike @dami1907 @Rhalek @Dinouy @Sensei @rulem4n @Stutzpunkt @Pastel @eelnico09 @Nic0Bols0 @vamux @T18 @draco_uy
Nombré de memoria por los que comentaron en el topic de DotA 2 Nights, si me olvidé de alguno, pido perdón. Pero la calentura me hace tarado.
Creo que los compañeros del DotA original, me van a entender mejor :P

Y si alguno se cuelga a contar como conoció el DotA van puntos extras, me puse melancólico.

[Rhapsody]

Igual, le dí zarpado color para que quedara mas lindo jaja.
Habrá que probar y ver que onda :P

[rulem4n]

Naaa viejo, ésto es enserio? No pueden hacer ésto, que dejen el mapa viejo accesible por lo menos para la gente como nosotros (que supongo seremos muchos).
Pero es cierto, por la plata baila el mono, siempre tendiendo a lo mediocre para llegar a mas publico, con mas plata y menos cabeza, lamentable pero es asi..
Veremos cuando salga el mapa y lo pruebe, muchas veces dijimos "naa se fueron al carajo con ésto" y acá seguimos, pero éste cambio es radical.
Dota, gracias...totales!!

[Sensei]

Que se yo, como todo parche grande loco, trae cosas grandes y locas...
Del cáncer no nos vamos a salvar nunca, lo mismo de la gripe.. xD
Como todo, va a ser cuestion de costumbre, a lo mejor con el tiempo te das cuenta de que determinadas cosas pueden ser mejores...

Mi historia...
Allá por 2002 creo que fue, nos juntabamos en el ciber de un amigo, caíamos tipo las 23/24 del viernes (aunque a veces salia entre semana), seríamos entre 4 y 6, y nos quedabamos hasta las 6 o 7 de la matina...
La típica era meter Counter, Call of Duty, Battlefield y alguno más, hasta que en algún momento saltaron con lo del famoso Dota, la verdad que ni recuerdo ahora, pero seguramente daba lástima, igual siempre me quedó la cosa del Dota y como de alguna manera me había gustado (mi hermano lo odiaba, sobre todo xq los demas entendian mucho mas que nosotros que joraca hacer y ya conocian items y skills de los que mas usaban)..
Pasaron muchos años, creo que fue por el 2010 que reenganche con mis nuevos compañeritos de tecnólogo a meter Dota 1, owneandolos mal con drow, razor y alguno mas, jugando 1v5 y mostrando lo salado que era.. Sin bots ni nada, compraba cualquier item con el tiempo, seguía encajando... El problema fue que a mis amigos les termino gustando tanto, que arrancaron a "estudiar" el juego, los items, los heroes, etc. A partir de ahi fui perdiendo ventaja (y aprendiendo más que era dota para no quedar atras), llegamos a meter bots en nightmare y jugar distintas versiones con bots mas OP, para inicios del 2011 me enteré de la beta (ni se como), me anote a una lista y en una semana mas o menos me cayó la invitacion (ahi tambien conoci al steam), apenas pude invité a los demás (te daban algunas invitaciones extra), yo la verdad que quedé bastante maravillado, entre los gráficos, la facilidad del uso, compra de items, etc.

Hoy puedo decir que sigo encajando, pero entiendo muuucho más que en los inicios y me divierto mucho más.
Tambien me recontra caliento cuando aparece algún retrasado peruano que te caga el juego, pero son cosas de la vida, si las ganaramos todas sería un embole...

[pastel]

top KEK los buffs y los nerks.. el de riki esta aquerosamente op..

Shuriken Toss now bounces to all Tracked units within a 900 range

wat

Has Icefrog gone to far? 99.9% of dotards can't tell whether these patch notes are REAL or FAKE

[Rhapsody]

Y eso no es nada! Me puse a leer el changelog completo y PA!
Si antes me disgustaba ahora ya lo odio.

Osea, los cambios en los skills te los llevo, pero no me toquen el mapa!
Esto además cambia toda la estrategia en cuando a pro dota.

Habrá que ver, igual, con lo de la herramienta para modificar mapa. Al toque vamos a poder jugar con el mapa original, la cosa es que no creo que cuente como matchs oficiales.

[Master of the Wind]

Hace dias no juego, taba metiendo quake como enfermo.


En fin... como cagar un glorioso juego en 3 comodos pasos.

[SEndero Luminoso]

La bosta de UPDATE!

[enrokike]

Se fueron de tema con el drama. En la versión que agregaron al Meepo y al Dazzle pusieron varios items nuevos, las torres empezaron a darle oro a todo el team en vez de darle solo al que lashiteaba, lo mismo con Roshan, lo mismo en las teamfights(no existian las asistencias) , después apareció el dust, el smoke. Son cosas que se hacen para cambiar la dinámica del juego nomás, salvo algún skill en particular(Fissure , Sonic wave) no vi ningún cambio que grite "hecho para noobs".
Mis comienzos, jugaba WCIII y me hablaban de un mod que estaba buenísimo, fuimos a un cyber y viciamos un rato y no lo pudimos largar. La versión era la 6.37b y me acuerdo que arranqué a jugar con el Rhasta(era el modelo de unos de los heroes que usaba cuando jugaba con la horda!!!!!) y mi build era botas y full slot ultimate orb , porque no encontraba madera para armar los items....(CUACK!!! , pero es cierto).

[Rhapsody]

Me re mareo cuando miro ese video.
Donde quedaron los ancients del lado Dire?

[dami1907]

ya me voy a poner a leer detalladamente a ver q onda esto!!
pero no seas malo, te foguea cualquiera ahora

[Rhalek]

Tienen que cambiar cosas, a mi la verdad me chupa un huevo, pero la gente se cansa del mismo juego y el mismo metagame.

[Rhapsody]

Lo de la meta si, es necesario. Mismo la de ahora apesta.
Pero se fueron al carajo.

Porque este es un cambio salado salado, mas allá de lo del mapa que es lo que más me molesta, lo de la runa esa nueva también es re cualquiera.

En eso tengo cierta confianza en la comunidad de dota, si lo de la runa es muy fruta la gente se va a quejar y lo van a modificar. No toda la comunidad son peruanos o 1.5k mmr que les chupa un huevo que el juego sea "complejo", la verdad eso es lo único que me mantiene jugando por tanto tiempo.

[Guille]

paaaaaa loco, es increible como hace un par de meses que ando en la vuelta y no me he prendido a ninguna partida.... ya se puede bajar ese parche? se puede bajar directamente del steam como el resto o hay que hacer algo especial?

Tienen que cambiar cosas, a mi la verdad me chupa un huevo, pero la gente se cansa del mismo juego y el mismo metagame.

lo que pasa que es como el age of empires, son esos juegos que nunca aburren asi pasen los años. Porque hay infinitas formas de usar cada heroe. A mi me gusta mucho mas el dota que el lol, pese a que éste ultimo recientemente se ha hecho mas popular, el dota es mejor. La magia está en jugar pocas partidas al dia y no todos los dias, para que no te paspe... es como todo.

[Rhapsody]

Osea, a mi no me gustan los juegos casuals, o n00b friendly, y a eso apuntan los juegos de hoy en día. Antes los juegos eran de macho, ahora son para nenes.
Y a eso están llevando el DotA, juego que tiene tremenda curva de aprendizaje, juego que vengo jugando hace como 8 años y sigue aprendiendo cosas, del que no me aburro nunca.

Pero bueno, como todo lo bueno, tiene un final. En mi caso es este, podré seguir jugando, pero el viejo DotA, de macho, al que los petes juegan 2 partidas, quitean y se van a jugar al LoL porque 'El DotA es muy difícil', ya no existe. Antes cuando veías uno con mas de 100 partidas nomás, significaba que tuvo huevo para comersela toda y seguir jugando y aprender. Ahora ya no.

Hoy en día está hecho para que los petes entren, vean colores y se diviertan. Les hacen todo fácil.

Yo voy a seguir jugando al mapa 'común', el de ahora, que con la herramienta de edición de mapas, estoy seguro que vamos a poder seguir jugando. Aunque va a ser o vs bots, o con amigos, sin que te cuente en un perfil. Como el viejo y querido DotA.

[Master of the Wind]

Fa, fa, FA, lo que hicieron con riki, POR DIOS

[Rhapsody]

Igual, lo del riki no se va tanto de tema comparado con el bloodseeker por ejemplo.
El invi nivel 1 demora 8 secs en desaparecer, para desaparecer medio rápido necesita un par de niveles, entonces es como si llegara a lvl 6, ponele. El cambio del blink si, lo hace bastaaante menos aggro en early.

[Rhapsody]

En el foro de JoinDOTA, en este topic están comentando todo. Hay comentarios que cantan la posta.
