Patches

Hello Guys,

I’m AKA and today topic is ‘Patches’. It is something of dota 2 but not in game analysis it about knowing the new Meta or to be precise it is about heroes.

Now when I say heroes it means that some time a hero with the combination of some times is over power which can unbalance the game and it will be difficult to win if that hero is in enemy team so in order it does not happen Valve who owns Dota 2 decides what to change of that hero in order to balance it.

It is not only hero’s items and neutral items can also be over power so in a patch neutral item, hero and items receive good or bad updates in order to balance the game. It is after valve analysis our game and then decides what to do.

Now what happens it when patch come the previous hero and combination are nerfed but in that what happens is some other hero or combination dominates so in order to prevent that mini patches or update are released to balance them. Sometime changes are also done to the map if one of the sides is dominating or favorable. So, in short valve is always tracking everything in game so that the balance is made in game and player enjoy it equally.

Now there are theories that the head of valve who makes the changes is named as Icefrog. But obvious he has a team but he makes the final decision. So, the point here is no one knows who Icefrog. It is like a mystery in e-sports that who is Icefrog. There are many theories that he is one of the pro players of dota 2, some say he also comes to watch TI every time may in which ever country it happens, he comes to enjoy dota and see fans supporting their team.

Long in short patches are released in order to balance the game of dota 2.

Thank you, guys, for reading this post and stay tune for more dota 2 related content.

Good Game

Pure Damage

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new form of damage that is ‘ Pure ’. This post will be very short because the concept of pure damage is very simple. First let us discuss what hero’s and items do pure damage. Heroes like Pudge, Bane, Specter etc. have abilities that does pure damage. There are no such items yet that does pure damage there are some items like MKB which pierce the evasion and deals damage but that is not pure. Let us see with an example how does a pure damage works but first let us compare it with other form of damage. As we know that in damage types like physical and magical there are ways to reduce it buy in pure damage you cannot reduce it. Its means that if a hero ability damage is 300 and it is pure then the damage taken by you is also 300. Yes, there is no magic resistance in it. So, in short there is no way in which you can reduce the effect but you can survive it like making blade mail it will reflect damage in the same way done to ...

Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape

Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new topic that is ‘ Shadow Blade or Glimmer Cape ’. As we discussed some items are categories based on the roles like carry and support. As we first consider glimmer cape this is something a support player goes so that on ganking him he has something to escape. The good part of glimmer cape is that it cast during channeling which means spells like freezing field, black hole, death ward etc. Some time what happens is enemy hero does not have dust and when you cast your channeling spell that there are chances you might get a kill. So, in this way you can win a team fight. the best part of glimmer cape is that it can be casted on our friends which mean not only you but you can also help your core to escape a fight. Now let’s see shadow blade. As a personal experience I can tell this item is not good for core there are many reasons for it. As it was buffed in the recent patch it is good some hero like tiny, lina, drow ranger, sn...

Status Effect :- Root

Image
Hello Guys, I’m AKA and today I have brought you guys a new status effect which is ‘ Root ’. It is a very simple concept with respect to other status effect we discussed. So, in a root enemy hero cannot move or use any abilities or item that contribute in movement. Root :- So, the above image is just a representation of the of root. Heroes like Meepo, Naga Siren, Oracle etc. have abilities which can root enemy hero. Unlike other status effect in root, you can attack but you cannot move or use abilities that relates to movement of the hero. So, it is a good way of keeping enemy hero in place and attack them. It is very easy to dispel root. Items like BKB, Manta Style, Guardian Greaves etc. can be used to dispel root. It is a good way to initiate a fight let’s take an example of it. Pudge first ability hook is something you need to be very particular so what most of the players do is root an enemy hero and then hook him so that it is a confirm initiation of the fight. Thank you, ...
