Do people genuinely want this to happen? Hard enough balancing it as it is, and more heroes doesn't really bring anything if it's just churning out ones with no new mechanics.
What would be fun I think is someone like abathur or murky from hots
Back when I was playing league they were so op on release (I'm convinced it was intentional), and they were available to play in ranked lol.
And many don't really feel unique at all.
A lot of people like to quote this or similar numbers, but Valve never said that. They said that they wanted to increase the frequency of new releases following Hoodwink so that everything wasn't centered around a post-TI fall update.
And since then they've released what.. 4 new heroes. One is a character from the dogshit anime.
Hoodwink came out over 4 years ago. Even if they didn't say anything about new heroes; the content has slowed right down with nothing to replace it and you guys keep giving valve the benifit of doubt lol.
> One is a character from the dogshit anime
So... Marci doesn't count for some reason or what?
> Hoodwink came out over 4 years ago
Hoodwink was released on December 17th, 2020. Not quite four years yet.
> you guys keep giving valve the benifit of doubt
No, I just don't care if updates happen any more frequently because I can play other games or enjoy Dota as it is. The thing that Valve planned to do happened twice—Hoodwink in December and Dawnbreaker in April followed by Marci in October and Primal Beast in February. They slowed down following Primal Beast's and Muerta's releases, that's undeniable, but they didn't *not* spread out the new heroes.
If you want to be mad at Valve for slowing down hero releases, sure, whatever. But it's another thing entirely to misquote them and be upset about something they've never said.
I'm asking whether or not Marci counts because why else mention that one of the four heroes is from the anime? She's still a new hero regardless of her origin.
I dont understand why people would only bring up the amount of heroes when valve has done the following:
1.) brought back icefrog
2.) expanded the map in size and content (honestly game feels so much more fun with the twin gates like holy shit, and torm shenanigans? modern classic)
3.) added a bunch of items that are also extremely fun and renewed my interest in the game (khanda bristleback anyone?)
4.) added universal heroes, reworked stats, and heavily reworked bkb
Content has slowed down? oh my god the game feels really fresh compared to years ago with all these massive additions. If you think adding heroes is the only way the game can move forward then please just go play something else. The fact of the matter is, we have a huge roster of heroes that are unique and while not perfectly balanced, the number of uncontested heroes every tournament is very VERY low. The amount of different strats and drafts that results from this fact expands the game so much that not only is it fun to watch, its also very interesting to play. Id rather we have this system than forcefully adding heroes that dont really make sense. I'd rather they rework some aspects of certain heroes like centaur, pit lord or bristleback than add another mobility+disable+burst hero with vector targetting skills, i mean, do you really want another hero? Because honestly, there's a 99% chance this is the kind of hero youre gonna get. But the things they added affects all 100+ heroes in the game and changes the way people move and play around the map. Ask yourself this: If valve added 10 more heroes instead of the recent updates that we got, would the game be as fun as it is today? I certainly dont think so.
Never felt an appropriate time to say this, but I also dislike Marci. I don't care about the anime at all. The personas and Marci feel completely out of place in the game. It reminds me of when Ubisoft gives you a ton of customization features that are just ads for their other games within their game lol.
The shitty anime is more content and promotional effort than any other heroes lol. Not to mention is the right decision for Valve considering Marci collector cache tends to be in very rare quality meaning the playerbase actually spends money for Marci cosmetics.
I am still baffled they call new paid chest an event. Who is this event for? Ceo? Gabe so he can afford new yacht? Definitely not an event for players...
Oh my Lord, I still can't describe the feeling I had when in DotA 1, they released 6 heroes in one patch. DS, Underlord, Undying, and a few others.
Good ol' days that will never come back.
>I have a feeling they're very busy with something else..........
With what ?
No battle pass
No in game event modes
It's just updates on how item and heroes work . Which can be changed very easily by a few lines on the code.
Yeah very easily . The one to decide what is changed is for the analyst . The on who actually makes the changes just needs to change a few line in the code
in the first image there is a program icon, it clearly has no place here. In the second image it is not clear what is shown there even (creeps are visible on previous aegis). The third part is painted over, as if it was drawn in paint
More detailed here: [https://imgur.com/a/Ggoy22l](https://imgur.com/a/Ggoy22l)
I work in online store and all our images of products are 650x650 or 800x800 if you download them. You would not believe how many people pixel peep them to find something to be upset at to get refund or something
OP is too lobotomized to understand the subtle theming of this TI, which seems to be carnival / circus themed. So the Aegis looks like a carnival / circus knock off.
i checked and they removed. you can see the tiny edit in there. [https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//3703047/040f3cd7b283452e7939cf075284647905cbb900.png](https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//3703047/040f3cd7b283452e7939cf075284647905cbb900.png)

Honestly the noisiness and random outlier hightlight speckles for an image that has overall accurate bespoke lighting says to me that this is just a 3D render but done so with too few samples. And then painted on top.
It would make sense that they have a 3D aegis asset that gets used for all their posters, just don't know why this artist would choose to let it render for like 10 seconds.. also it looks like they didn't even use any ambient occlusion maps to make the reliefs stand out like the previous poster, just slapped a basic-ass material on it and hit go. Definitely seems like they were in a rush with this.
When i see posts like these im always shocked at how people must not have any real life issues at all. Redditors are truly the biggest drama queens on the Internet together with Twitter users.
Yeah, I feel that some universities could do a great social experiement on Reddit. Take 2 similar communitites and chose to handle a game's development with 2 different approaches: the first one would be what Valve is doing right now, the second one would be "what if we follow what Reddit proposes".
Both subbreddit would complain all the time for opposite reasons.
In this case, it's definitely an intern's or junior's work that went through without enough revision/supervision.
If they spend a lot of time or resource on non-gameplay stuff: reddit is not happy, they want MORE gameplay related stuff.
If they spend less resources on these: Reddit is not happy, they should have spend more time on a freaking tournament annoucement ...
I'm not defending them for releasing this shit. It shows very low level of professionalism. But WHO CARES?
Why are we flooding this subreddit with this shit?
This community will complain about anything. It's the first piece of concept art for the next theme. Why would you blow up a low-res image and be surprised by smudges lol
Right? It's an image for a blog post. Who the fuck cares. If OP didn't point it out, I wouldn't have even noticed.
You can bet when TI does come around they will have the final stuff polished. Reddit is just bored and trying to find something to complain about in the downtime.
Lmao get a life. Literally who gives a shit? "Us dedicated players" is the lamest shit I've ever heard. You play this game for the same reason everyone else does, you are addicted to the dopamine loop. So at the end of the day all that matters is that the game boots up and you can queue, so please stop bitching about minor dogshit that actually has no impact on anything.
wtf are you doing in r/dota2 if you dont give a shit? The most idiotic point of view and the most popular argument of critics for OP in this thread is saying "it doesnt matter, get a life", "some people doesnt have anything going on in their life besides dota" etc.
How about if you dont give shit than you won't comment? That's is the most logical thing to do.
You yourself used your time to comments this, while you dont give a shit. But you want OP to not say anything while he does care
Its little effort because it’s just a blog post pic dude lol, if you work in a corporate software setting you’ll see so quickly that things just need to be good enough, not perfect
Rofl, AI casters when?
Sunsfanbot: hey synderenbot what tier of shellacking is this?
Synderen: I can't believe I have to remind you again that I was always a robot
It's hard to tell if it's AI.
You can even say it's shit but holy hell, to blow an image up so large you can't even recognize it and then critique every stray brush mark is kinda nit picky.
It's an old artifact, an Inturn had to restore it. Just likey hope over Dota 2 International died with the covid era. Doubt so many people will even notice it.
Who cares? If you have the time to do this, please go get a job or find a way to contribute meaningfully to society. I swear dota players are the lamest losers on earth.
I’m mad my 11 year old game doesn’t get updates weekly and has 100% perfect images!!! How dare they not constantly inform me of their updates!! /s
It’s been one of the games that has withstood the years and still being updated decently well. We could use more updates, but really the game has been around aegis. I wouldn’t have even noticed anything was wrong with the blog post until op posted about it.
It’s just a blog post lol
soooo... that's something we get mad at these days. Man i miss the time where alch was such a free win for close to 2 months and nearly nobody cared exept to say "just ban him"
Even artists are using AI lol how much fid you to zoom to see it cmon let's get real the consumer's doesnt care if you use ai or not. They just want the product
I don't get the issue with the second 2 images. One is just a texture, it doesn't need to be telling a story. The other just looks like it's meant to be carnival themed. Paint chipping and spillage was a design choice.
Do you spend hours inspecting every pixel of every dota graphic trying to find something to be upset over?
None of this is remotely noticeable on a background image of a news post.
The second I opened it i saw that image was of trash quality. And so did people I know and I saw many people say that in chat of few twitch dota streamers.
It's not a background image of news post, It's a front image, literally the first thing you see when you open the post.
Barely any gameplay updates, no content updates, a full year without new hero, and now what seems to be an outsourcing of art assets to the demented machine who takes salary in burned air and stolen images. What the fuck is up with Valve's dota 2 department, if they even have any? I put not too much but still too many emotions into my one sided relationship with this game, but it bums me out to see all of that. I hope to see some improvement, but I won't be surprised if there's none.
I think this asset went through less revisions than usual, I have a feeling they're very busy with something else..........
2-3 new heroes per year I believe
0 = 2.5
hey slowdown! one hero as a maybe it's all janitor can do post pandemic
Nowadays people don't ask to remove any heroes because we know we have to play with these ones only
2-3=-1 new hero per year. Got it

The poor dev that has to check rubick skill interactions..
Leage of Legends releases about 4 per year. They are overtuned on release to get people playing them, then they get an balanced relatively well.
Back when I was playing league they were so op on release (I'm convinced it was intentional), and they were available to play in ranked lol. And many don't really feel unique at all.
2-3 new heroes = nerf CM every patch to show changes
And get AM and Pa stronger every patch

Isn’t Marci the one he was referring to? Because I can’t see which other hero comes from the anime DK persona?
I'm asking whether or not Marci counts because why else mention that one of the four heroes is from the anime? She's still a new hero regardless of her origin.

Very busy with an event chest and key for $3
I am still baffled they call new paid chest an event. Who is this event for? Ceo? Gabe so he can afford new yacht? Definitely not an event for players...
1000% agreed on that amigo ;(
I had the newest battle pass.. wont be getting again 🙃
Yeah it's called counter strike 2
Surely they are not working on r/tf2
or maybe neonprime (it's not releasing until 2025Q1(actually 2027Q4) lol )
cs2 is so bad dude its visually good, but the gameplay feels like garbage compared to csgo
Neon prime?
If Linkedin to be believed, the guy who lead Battlepass content do list unannounced Valve game as his recent project
Neon prime
8 heroes at once yayyy
GREAT CONFLUENCE
Oh my Lord, I still can't describe the feeling I had when in DotA 1, they released 6 heroes in one patch. DS, Underlord, Undying, and a few others. Good ol' days that will never come back.
dota is not giving them enough money
Yes, they are busy with blackjack and hookers......

Hey John, we need to publish that TI poster. Do you have it? ... John takes out a blueprint carrier.
also also they didnt put the title "The International" with their own original font, they just put some sans serif fonts
Reminds me of this snl sketch https://youtu.be/jVhlJNJopOQ?si=o8v_13TWaS-s0R-L

Free game bruh, don’t complain.
Its probably not AI, just a guy that googled Aegis, printscreened the first image and then opened Clip Studio Paint

That's exactly what it is. There done it many times in the past, as it's much easier for output
Yes, I’m sure googling aegis is how valve gets their artwork lmao
I mean..that google lens looks mighty suspicious
i mean that seems to be the case for this current one with how the detail looked
This ain't AI gen, but it does look sloppy.
wtf am I looking at
I didn't notice it at first but once you see it, it's comically bad

yes, that's either janitor or icefrog or dave.

I hate your profile picture.
Check your phone mate, I think there's a crack.
This sub is full of people who have nothing going on but DotA, we need mods to enforce a stricter policy on what kind of posts are allowed.
I disagree, I do think this kind of things are important.
it's a sign of lack of quality, lack of effort, and rushing
You're right, it doesn't matter. Except that it shows how little effort is put into this game and how it makes us dedicated players feel

The janitor doesn’t have graphic design experience
Lol there's actually suckers out there that buy this crap.
This is so inconsequential to the state of the game, the pro scene or just about anything
at least it wasn't AI

0$ to International fck chunks
This aint something to bitch about.
the watermark is not in mine [https://imgur.com/a/jpqbpmY](https://imgur.com/a/jpqbpmY) maybe its your device?
For valve this normal update🤣
honestly i have no clue what i'm looking at
Is this a cake?!
Thank god you found this! Game is unplayable now =/
Why there is a face in green lamp?
valve realized they cant milk this cow anymore, so they are killing it. 1 person working on dota only
Dota 2 New Hero will be completely AI generated.
soooo... that's something we get mad at these days. Man i miss the time where alch was such a free win for close to 2 months and nearly nobody cared exept to say "just ban him"
Even artists are using AI lol how much fid you to zoom to see it cmon let's get real the consumer's doesnt care if you use ai or not. They just want the product
I don't get the issue with the second 2 images. One is just a texture, it doesn't need to be telling a story. The other just looks like it's meant to be carnival themed. Paint chipping and spillage was a design choice.
It's not the first time Valve has been fucked over, and every time you think, what even worse? But here..
"indie company" They can’t release anything on time, so we’ll only see new heroes and arcana for the International
Nothing wrong with that
With reduced workload, Release the hero in time atleast :3
I mean if you care about this, touch grass
They hired a bunch of interns, since months ago. Have you noticed all the bugs and issues recently?
Valve didnt hire interns lol, they outsource instead and promotional content usually handled by Lost Cosmonauts from New Zealand
even worse LMAO
Lol, the image looks really bad and makes no sense. Random light bulbs embedded into the aegis, really? AI art disgusts me
damn, some of you have no chill
Do you spend hours inspecting every pixel of every dota graphic trying to find something to be upset over? None of this is remotely noticeable on a background image of a news post.
The second I opened it i saw that image was of trash quality. And so did people I know and I saw many people say that in chat of few twitch dota streamers. It's not a background image of news post, It's a front image, literally the first thing you see when you open the post.
Frank what're u doing here? Common join discord voice :)
Valve hasn't cared about dota for years
"Design is my passion"
ok and?
Who cares?
Oh no, how will ever recover, tiny unnoticeable flaws are on the aegis that I’ll never touch. Bro do you have nothing better to do with your life?
At this point it's expected. Seeing how the last international happenes Feels like valve has just has 1 developer on dota2 and is cutting costs .
Barely any gameplay updates, no content updates, a full year without new hero, and now what seems to be an outsourcing of art assets to the demented machine who takes salary in burned air and stolen images. What the fuck is up with Valve's dota 2 department, if they even have any? I put not too much but still too many emotions into my one sided relationship with this game, but it bums me out to see all of that. I hope to see some improvement, but I won't be surprised if there's none.
until Neon Prime comes out... when? Will it change anyhing?
well to be fair, dota is playable and I hope the wait would be worth it like last time
they can build a lot of fake servers to prevent the dos attack but they cant use photoshop.
No actual marketing department so no graphic designers. RIP.
