General DiscussionBest Dota 2 patch in your opinion

6.84, TI5 patch. Why? Because Sniper was nerfed into oblivion after 6.83(HohoHaha patch), nobody touched him, and those were the happiest games ever

i think 7.07 suits me very well for now.

from 7.00 to now. the cancer heroes is minimalized.

Strong heroes not as OP as 6.83 sniper, 6.86 OD and spectre, 6.84 Disco Pony

and so much hero viable to play now which is fun.

And huskar got playable again for me in 7.07 which is the bes

Either 6.84 or 6.88
Post 7.00 feels monotonous and shallow for me somehow

guess when reborn was introduced :D

6.59

best patch was either the aghs mirana patch which I think was 6.87 or the patch where weaver was super strong early.

ti5 patch was like top3 of worst patch in the whole dota 6.xx+ history

6.85...

6.88 for sure

7.00 was my first big patch, and it introduced my favorite hero, and the first dota 2 born hero. MonkaS king kappa.

6.86 when u are noob injoker but still manage having 70% wr as him

Ti3.. Nuke one lane as pl from your t3, wait 2mins and take a rax with your 14 illusions

6.87 or 6.88 were pretty good
7.00-7.02 were just awesome, almost every hero was kinda playable and ofc magic ember

Viability wise, you'd have to say 6.88 or 7.06. But as the meta settled, certain heroes just naturally powered their way to the top. NS, Nyx, Necro, Veno for 706, Luna-SD for 688. I still stand by 6.84 because no hohohaha

7.07b seems like a pretty balanced patch at the moment. While Spectre and Centaur are still broken, I am glad Phantom Assassin, Phantom Lancer and Necrophos went down. Oh, and Storm is back, so that's great. I like that hero.

I also like the old 6.86 where Alchemist and Invoker have many builds instead of sticking to one every single damn game.

This one.

i liked 7.00 best

This patch is awesome imo

The 7.00 was really cool in terms of new game-play mechanics like shrines, talents, backpack etc. Freshened up the game and brought in newer complexities and dynamics to the games.

Talents really make power-levels very important and with the changes in 7.07, the level 25 talents make for some very interesting fights.

wrong thread rofl I’m tired/stupid

6.86,6.87 and 6.88 were the best man 7.00 onwards is just disgusting

6.86 was the real shit. mostly because i spammed OD and could deal with invoker easily

6.10 when Invoker was introduced.

7.00 was great, this one is the shittiest patch ive ever seen

I believe riki received like 8-9 nerfs in a row, so i woukd say patch before it happened, i woukd have 80% wr easy on that riki

6.81 International 2014 patch and 6.84 International 2015 patches.

I really liked 6.88 even though 7.07 had a larger hero pool it still felt like i was watching the same heroes every single pro game. 6.88 had almost as large a hero pool and just felt more balanced.

6.86 was that troll/sniper/axe? I fucking loved that patch. Pudge was also great that patch because of all of the afk auto attacker heroes

7.0 was probably the best because everything was new, until people settled in on the green hero meta (necro, veno, viper non stop).

For me personally though I loved 6.83 because troll and sniper are my most played.

remember when sniper shrapnel used to damage towers? lol good times

YES I loved that version of shrapnel, just push towers safely from a distance. And head shot interrupted of course. Still no hurricane kinda sucked.

That would be a really good talent actually, to make shrapnel hurt towers for like half dmg.
