We Need To Talk About Crownfall 

I personally like how Dota doesn't bring a big patch every 6 months or a year and ruins the game, they do some small balance stuff and that's okay, look at how league of legends turned out, I personally used to enjoy it alongside dota, but they kept adding stuff, changing stuff, reworking heroes, etc. to the point where the game is totally a different game each year and it frankly sucks, I don't want that to happen to dota. small changes good, constant big changes only ruin the experience.

Personally, I think patch 7.35d is the most stable patch with the least amount of broken heroes. Only thing I think is very broken this patch is Windwaker. I do feel you though, it feels like Dota kinda deserves more because of the scale of the game it is, but Valve seems to be putting dota in a very low priority.

Loved your video, keep it up

I like crownfall. The way the patched the skill previews is cool. The cavern crawl is good. Keeps people from always picking the top heros.

bruv u got any idea when the unavailable arcana when be available again??cuz i m dying to get fv arcana as i started playing dota this year

It is so great, that they put in effort into story backgrounds etc. They should have gotten way more revenue in player influx from Netflix but lost it to Smurfs driving ppl away. They should have banned that much sooner. The Pro Scene is not that important for day to day Games. You have to invest into the general community to educate them and give them immersion.

Thanks for your honesty. Agree with everything you said

i also expected a new patch

If Valve didn't care, they wouldn't put money and effort into a whole storyline to flesh out these two characters, while also working on an update at the same time. If they didn't care, they would change up the game a little bit, slap "Patch 7.36" on it, and say "Here is your patch, stop bothering us". If they didn't care, they would have kept the battle pass going each year, which would have been an easier way to pump out distracting meaningless content to keep the fans sort of happy, not even to mention how those battle passes were fueled more by rng and money than playtime. But no, they decided to stop doing battle passes so that they can (in their own words) focus more on gameplay, and whether or not you feel that that has been true, them freeing up time allows them to do things like Crownfall. And I believe them spending time on projects like Crownfall doesn't show how much they don't care, it shows how much they do care. Ultimately they don't have to do any of this, and could get along by simply providing patches at the same pace they have been for the past months, but this is a Valve game, and if you know anything about Valve, they put effort into the lore of their games, they never, ever, focus on gameplay alone. People just need to grow up and stop bitching and acting entitled about things, when things could be handled so, so much worse. You will get your patch. Believe me, I want it to be here too, but in the meantime just be grateful about the effort Valve puts into this 11 year old game. Valve isn't perfect, but they are doing a darn fine job for what it's worth. (When I refer to "you" I mean "you" as in the reader, not Docwel) Edit: Sorry guys, I realize I kinda ranted here, but I just can't agree with the shit-talking I have seen people give Valve in the past couple of hours. I do think that people get a little entitled and worked up about pointless things like video games (myself included in the latter), but I just don't believe that Valve truly deserves the criticism they are receiving. When the gameplay patch does come out we will all see how much effort has been distributed between gameplay and lore development, and I am placing my bets that Valve will not be lacking in the gameplay department. I think people just need to hold their judgement until we see what happens.

I like the new patch, argueably better than battlepass as the pressure and idea of investment is mot as present as in the battlepass setting. Ofc getting a new hero would be nice, but I feel like we should appreciate the free stuff and chill with the lore a bit. I think its a decent idea

Question do we know what happened to icefrog? Cuz without him we wouldn’t have dota 2 and heroes of newerth. I wonder he’s burned out

valve has everything planned out its just a bit slow in my opinion. would love ringmaster today but i think he comes with the gameplay patch so yeah just wait more xD

Idk if they don't care but it doesn't seem to me they have a vision for what the game is supposed to be

I think valve should focus more on quality of the core gameplay than all this bonus content. Get new players in, keep improving the gameplay, build the competitive scene. Dota is the best game and should be treated as such.

Where patch?

The worst part is that Valve diminished earlier patches' content on the excuse that they were preparing for Crownfall, and this is all we got

I just hate that it took them so long and they still just didnt release the entire acts and all contents of the event, even the arcana is lacking. the arcana models carries the entire thing. for an arcana it feels weak. theres not much effort, no special walking animation the abilities are nearly identical but with just a color change. and they didnt even bother to add a new sound effect for the abilities. they only treat arcanas with love if they are gated in the battle pass levels. its so stupid.

Bro every time I go to smite in a few weeks I find a brand new hero (God). Every single time!! I've lost count! In addition to everything else they keep introducing to the game!!

give us Aghs Lab, is that hard volvo?

Better to talk about crownfall than talk about what crownfall isn't.

Is crownfall free? Or need to pay ?

I agree with you but Gaben is always correct.

i am 100% sure no one asked for skyrath mage arcana

Play my custom game, you deserve to have some fun. I proved that making an "event", which valve did earlier, is easier than it might seem.

Why is Vavle even attempting to do something with lore for DOTA when they clearly can't get capable enough writers on board to really cultivate their IP into something they can use for like IDK a media franchise, for example? They should've just given it up wholesale other than to make these shitty little attempts at hinting how there's some story behind the game. They could've just focused on the gameplay point-blank and ignored everything else.

The last video didn't age well 😂 Just kidding, great vids 😁

I believe they stopped caring after they referred to us as "Little Timmy holding out his gruel bowl asking where are my arcanas" That was bull, and a really bad sign, they were reading community feedback and were poking fun at it, not even just ignoring but poking fun at it. After that I'll never spend another cent on the game.

Valve was cooking all along. It takes time to make great things. The community is just entitled manchildren and lack patience. We just had a huge map overhaul with new frontiers and the players are rottenly spoiled.

And one of the reasons I don't spend more money on DOTA 2

Maybe its just me being a not used to your non hero guide videos, but i feel like this video is just really messy and it felt like the video is too long for what you are trying to express. I wouldnt mind a video where you rant about dota, but watching this it felt like you are just complaining about changes happening and also not enough changes happening, I think it would be pretty helpful if you can also give some ideas on how to make the problems better (like the luna talents i think its a pretty good part of the video, and if you expanded on it, it would be better). For example at the end of the video you said that you didnt mind cosmetics, but you started the video with complaining about crownfall which makes it a little confusing on why you are making this video. If anything i feel like you dont like crownfall because valve communicated beforehand and actually hyped it up, which gives valve the impression to just stick to their tradition of being silent and just release stuff when theyre actually done. Anyways im just yapping, but i hope you can make these rant videos a little more structured, because this one feels a little messy and too long for its content.

bro its better than blizzard, there are video game companies out there that let their customer base down way more

valve doesn't listen to taking heads valve looks at stats, if more players okay during these events then that's what they prioritize, i actually like this update, been enjoying this meta as well this the most iv played in 3 years

the update was ass aswel

I just want dumb cosmetics like glasses or meme stuff, they just found Venge wings. Valve are actually simps i guess

Valve needs to sell Dota, it’s a profitable game that can be refreshed to reach a wider audience and continue its legacy. Best game of all time with stewards that are sleeping on it.

I can't take any of this shit seriously when the base models of the game haven't been updated since the fucking dawn of technology Base models look fucking awful and putting story stuff and anything like this that's supposed to be immersive aside from just cool skins is kinda ridicilous to me. Update your base models, make the game look good for new players booting it up where they don't immediately go 'this game looks hideious why would I not just play league' And then you can start making stuff like this

TL;DR - Crownfall is not what they were expecting, so Valve doesn't care for a bunch of bogus reasons, wah wah wah......
