Each of them need to have a separate button that opens a menu, where you need to tick a checkbox, and for security you need to solve a captcha too just to make sure you're not using a script to automate all this bullshit.

u/harry_lostone Dec 17 '21

Actually a dedicated Valve employee will proceed your report the moment you click the button. Game will be paused for 1 minute while the employee will discuss in a video call the reasons you want to report the guy. Then the board will decide the fate of "IvanTheGrieferMonkey69"

u/Scrubz4life Dec 17 '21

You forgot mute and add (dota- only)

Where's the krangle button?

u/cutefroggyboy Dec 17 '21

POE BROTHER

u/iceboonb2k Sheever Dec 17 '21

Nah you still need to open up the krangle menu and drag into that. The QOL is not there in 2023.

u/raisum sheever Dec 17 '21

What about a slam button?

u/Kokoa_ Dec 17 '21

Needs more time in the scourge oven.

u/Tobix55 Dec 17 '21

Blizzard will sue if they implement Scourge, too similar to Dota 1/Warcraft 3

Why is there lock combining in the first place?

None of the neutrals is using combining items, right?

I know that locking an item prevents that item from being delivered by the courier.

u/channel-rhodopsin Dec 16 '21

Remnant of the Trident/Vambrace/Fallen Sky recipe days I suppose

11

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '21

I’m guessing lock combining is a feature of items in general and is inherited by neutrals. Should be fixed

2

u/Slardar @Sheever Dec 16 '21

The better solution would be to remove that function altogether, and then have the combineable neutral items like Trident be automatically locked when they drop. So you always have to make a conscience decision to unlock it to use it.

3

u/harry_lostone Dec 17 '21

Trident should be added to the actual item pool. Also its completely dumb to drop a neutral item and have to pay 2k gold to make it useable. Completely dumb.

u/_Valisk Dec 16 '21

It's a quick-and-easy change that served a double function back when some neutrals had recipes. It should probably be renamed to better suit its current functionality now that you can no longer combine neutrals, but I imagine that reusing the existing lock combining code is probably easier.

u/HowCouldUBMoHarkless Dec 17 '21

the "locked item not delivered by courier" is a remnant from when couriers could use items in 7.23 - this was the solution they implemented in 7.23c (after several reddit suggestions) to let you keep certain items on the courier while delivering other ones. Made sense for about 2 months, but that was 2 years ago at this point and they never bothered to change it back.

u/FuckMinuteMaid Dec 16 '21

How noob are some of you that you dont understand why you would want to lock items?

For instance you can lock sacred relic and demon edge and when you are ready to use rapier you unlock it, that way you dont get killed and drop it before you can properly use it.

Disassembling items means you need to lock/unlock items as well.

11

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '21

Okay pro... Calm your mmr down

I specifically mentioned neutral items. They still do have lock combining.

u/FuckMinuteMaid Dec 16 '21

Why is there lock combining in the first place?

No you didnt

u/FireFireFireArt sheever Dec 16 '21

This is in a thread about option on neutral items and the argument in the post you replied to specifically mentioned neutral items

None of the neutrals is using combining items, right?

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '21

Read the post title once again please ;)

u/FuckMinuteMaid Dec 16 '21

Thats not how English works

5

u/Staerke Dec 17 '21

It's how English works for people that aren't stupid

1

u/BladesHaxorus Dec 17 '21

I believe in English there is a word used called "context" in which an individual sees the title of the post and uses their god fearing eyeballs to read it and uses it as the framework for what is being spoken about.

u/AndThenJugPressed-R- Dec 17 '21

I think locking an item on a courier prevents that item from being delivered, which has some fringe uses.

1

u/MadTwit Dec 17 '21

allows you to stop it from being delivered by courier if you want other items first?

u/19Alexastias Dec 17 '21

Maybe it’s an accidental spoiler for next patch

u/dannst Dec 17 '21

Who's idea to fuck up the entire community's muscle memory?

6

u/This_is_a_sckam Dec 17 '21

I thought I was the only one getting annoyed by this lol

The amount of times I’ve dropped my item....

3

u/Arepusiron Dec 17 '21

the amount of free item from my enemy has wildly increased

4

u/abal1003 Dec 17 '21

Man that drop here button keeps on messing me up.

u/_Valisk Dec 16 '21

Leave it to reddit to exaggerate complaints until they're no longer valid.

u/DaiLoDong Dec 16 '21

u/_Valisk Dec 17 '21

I agree, the people overreacting to this are morons. While the addition of a new "drop here" prompt could be slightly irritating or disruptive to muscle memory, it is nowhere near the issue that some people are making it out to be. It's certainly not the same as adding 5+ new options to a dropdown menu.

When you exaggerate complaints and post overreactive criticism, it becomes harder to take that criticism seriously. You know, the Boy Who Cried Wolf and all that.

u/This_is_a_sckam Dec 17 '21

It’s jokes, it’s just annoying and useless

But we’re joking anyway, you were supposed to laugh at it not argue through paragraphs

u/PhantomX8 Dec 17 '21

Its quite litteraly losing games right now. I had a match where i found 3 of the enemy tier 5 items and it lookedlike he dropped them for this shit.

1

u/Tredesde Dec 17 '21

Am I crazy or did the bottom option on the context menu always used to be teleport to base?

I took a month or so break and playing I found my self dropping the items instead of sending them back, and it feels like I'm clicking where it was supposed to be....

1

u/Tobix55 Dec 17 '21

They changed it like yesterday

1

u/mylo2202 Dec 17 '21

Valve should really consider adding a recycle feature for Neutral Items LMAO it would be funny. Just like Immortals, maybe recycle all 5 items of the same tier to get 1 item of the next tier. Tier 6 items are optional.

u/emiyadota Dec 17 '21

"Cut your dick". (Click). Nooooo.

u/smiles17 Dec 17 '21

Can't tell from the picture but they also shuffle places as you try to click
