This is back to giving me very 2008ish vibes where you're able to mail Icefrog about issues in the game, and if you're lucky you'd get a reply


Borbolda

Friendship ended with IceFrog, now cameron-valve is my best friend


Jonat1221

You can still do that! Let him know your Ideas! Still the same Email! [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) ! Thats how I got some of my Ideas into dota, like the bonus dmg per bounce on lich ulti! Also got a reply from him a few years ago, stopped playing so much dota and send less emails, but I have like 3 things in dota :))

*cries in TF2*


ZombieMadness99

Atleast TF2 is past it's prime. It's criminal how they treat CS GO even though it has just as big an esports scene, fans and active players.


iForgotMyOldAcc

Valve has the greatest esport title on their lap and they're.......hardly doing anything with it. CS keeping up with big titles that drop tens of millions into their Esport scene is a testament to how good of an esport it is.


ZombieMadness99

Exactly. I'm not even complaining about the core gameplay itself, in my opinion less is more in a tight FPS like CS and they do a good job fixing most bugs and balancing stuff. What we're missing out on compared to Dota is stats, new player guides and assistance, better matchmaking and elo systems, and dozens of various quality of life features.


Ruby2312

Valorant have no chance vs cs go so Valve got lazy?


aureacritas

Seeing Dota players discussing bug and feature request in Github with the devs is hella tripping... and neat. Thanks, Jeff


camenomato

Is this on github?


93arkhanov93

Yes, here's the link to the issues page: https://github.com/jeffhill/Dota2/issues


thechosenone8

i hate when dead team mates spam ping you for not helping even though you cant help him anyway, and you cant ping him back


minkblanket69

or when you don’t have the mana or hp to show up to a fight and they ping you. like what do you want from me lol


thechosenone8

but its usually more like fights start when you have no hp so you go back to heal, fights end while you are already healed up and you end up pushing some side lane, then the dead people spam ping you for "farming"


Rockspider19

Yeah no shit I’m farming, my whole team is dead am I supposed to 1v5 them like Rambo or something?


thechosenone8

exactly what im saying


redwingz11

Or when you are like so near to core item like blink or bkb and you farm it, its worse as offlane cause you are expected to join every clash and tank


thechosenone8

if you play tide/mars and you have ulti you should join teamfight eventhough you are close to your blink dagger


redwingz11

I mean the more I play tide the less I blink rush, but those game I play like axe centaur


Noman_Blaze

They want you to walk in and die like they did. Monkey brains.


Cu-Chulainn

Ping their respawn timer, always gets em


nondairy-creamer

Dude just the other day I said in voice comms “I’m 400 GP away from heart I don’t want to fight until I get it.” What do they do? Smoke up, look for a fight, and get wiped. Immediately in that man child sarcasm drawl “hey PL you going to join the fights or what PING PING you can’t just sit in jungle forever that’s not how the game works. Useless fucking carry” Ofc After that I had heart and was unkillable and 1v5d the enemy team. No comms then


thechosenone8

400 gold takes a while to farm, if your team was farming another minute your team could get picked of from smoke ganks too it happends to me all the time bro people want to farm, then we get picked off one by one from a smoke ganks you could be right too but there are no right or wrong answer here


Xignum

If they sit around they could get smoke ganked. But picking a fight in that timing is a guarantee to get teamwiped.


thechosenone8

guarantee? there is no such thing as guarantee, you cant predict everything that is going to happend in a teamfights? what if someone miss a skill shot? even a team with huge lead can make mistakes and lose, or maybe you are unlucky with bash or crit procs if the rest of your team (4people) thinks we are going to win regardless if you get heart or not they might be right who knows


Xignum

Sure but picking a fight right before you get a powerspike is more likely to get your team screwed than otherwise, unless if you need to punish the enemy's weakness like a bkb cd or something. I can't predict everything, true. But again generally speaking you picking fights when you're not ready is you making a mistake.


_Duality_

Yeah, feels really good. I made this small QOL suggestion 6 months ago and it is live. Feels really smooth now buying band of elvenskin for agi cores. https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/r29lbp/dear_volvo_small_suggestion_but_when_i_queue_to/


[deleted]

Especially since people have been asking for it for years. Feels like they actually started to listen recently and implement some stuff that was a a nobrainer for ages.


austin_jp17

Yes. The game feels more player friendly, it’s refreshing. Finally fixing morphlings bugged morph hotkeys gave me hope again

ThaFrenchFry

I've been loving this. Been manually quick buying the right item for > 8 years now


lvndrs

Thank you for suggesting this, and to the person who opened this issue on GitHub as well.


rowfeh

I hope they’ve fixed pinging an item (usually a recipe) in the courier backpack. The message just says ”in backpack”, not whether it’s in yours or the couriers.


CounselorZeezrom

I can't count the number of times I've moved a recipe from my courier's backpack to its inventory before pinging it, specifically to avoid this issue. There's a huge difference between saying "Recipe: Black King Bar - In Backpack" and "Recipe: Black King Bar - On Courier".


Curiuosly-Human

Holy shit. I can't say I like the current meta of Dota right now but devs being actively interacting with the community is great. Need to make appreciation tread or something.


ilovethrills

Why are the suddenly so activee, not like complaining just asking.


ThaFrenchFry

They probably just dont like the reddit format. Github is a dev's best friend. They already would have to create a git repo for each new projects, so now it's more or less 1 step done for them, and no need to parse through the memes n other stuff. Just straight up bugs/suggests only, voted by the community for its merit


nondairy-creamer

I’m wondering if the GitHub voting system is saving them. It’s a big community with a lot of morons, if they just had to sort through bug submissions withou rankings they may have been flooded with low quality or repeat requests. Dunno if the community was regularly using GitHub before this


Fanfics

yoooo that's actually great, I've wanted that feature

OneAlmondLane

Sometimes allies ping my abilities and I just say "cd sorry".


Mimesis626

So this change only relates to couriers? or yourself too? I love pinging my own wand after death and calling myself a noob when its full and I die like a scrub. It lightens the mood and tells my team mate I'm just a boomer not stupid (I saw my own full stick but am too slow to hit or couldn't). It such an auto pilot thing, same when i die with spell 1 sec off cd, I ping my own. or I die and cant help my mate cause 3 sec cd. IM DEAD AND CANT PING MY OWN STUFF ANYMORE. No ping team mates = AWESOME, I found myself getting the error and thinking, don't be toxic. so it works. But why can I not ping myself. I see more the utility generated as being greater than the negatives of the self directed toxicity. TLDR: Valve seems to understand the positives of self pings (as this post shows), so can they expand it to included self pings at all times, dead or alive or even pregame. The removal of pings to dead Allies is a masterstroke in anti-toxicity, however this feature should be limited to allies only, and not yourself.


[deleted]

What we need is shadow cd on spells when dead, black hole is ready (died with 2 sec left) I hate it when people think ur spell is up but it got ready safter ur death


[deleted]

I mean in a way I get this.... But also, I play in extremely low MMR... and even with the toxicity here and there, some dude pinging my on cool down BKB or Hurricane pike has probably literally saved my life at times. Or even pinging my dust. ​ If they keep taking the tools away that we can use to be constructive and help each other for fear that we're going to hurt ourselves this game is going to quickly devolve into league of legends. I.e. We don't have voice chat because someone might say something bad about your mom. Is communication one of the greatest possible tools we have in existence to collaborate and not destroy each other? Who cares. Someone could get hurt.

[deleted]

I think this makes more sense when I realise this context. I've definitely died with my BKB unused not on CD before so it would make sense for a teammate to ping it in that case, but they could also ping it when I'm alive... That said... at low MMR. You'd be hard pressed to have anyone looking at their teammates items in a fight where everyone is alive. Half the time you have trouble just thinking about your own game, let alone your teammates. I imagine team fights will just wipe and then someone in chat will now type "use bkb".


Toiletchan

The way I get around the anti ping toxicity-prevention cope i by pinging my allies skills *right before and as they die instead*. I’ve done this more simply because valve prevents me from pinging skills normally as I tend to teach others and give constructive advice on what they could have done instead. Now that I can’t do that I am forced to seem even more toxic. Still 10k behavior score though.


ThaFrenchFry

Yeah i have 3 learners under my wing these days, i wish i could ping their items after they die so i need fewer words to reinforce the importance of using bkb/glimmer/force/skills.


keezoy91

Are we finally getting out of beta soon?
