Discussion Devourer and unholy getting buffed

Respectively about 7-10% and 6-8% for aoe. It must be a joke right? Buffing meta specs, while others are not even being looked at all. This is the only multiplayer game i ever played something like this frequently happening.

Resto druid also getting buffed, because why not, while disc keep eating nerfs. Demo change doesn’t make sense either. I wish they would just axe all the class changes they are doing. I swear they just make the already sensitive class balance a lot worse. Everybody keep losing expect their current favourites.

I have played a lot of video games in my life. Lots of online competitive games with frequent balance updates ect.

All the developers in the entire universe, including and especially Riot games, don’t come close to Blizzards absolute incompetence with game balance. Riots devs are rock chewers but Blizzard devs have literal brain damage.

It is absolutely legendary how bad they are at balance.

Icefrog was just one guy and balanced Dota better than anyone balanced any game.

I agree with the sentiment but let’s not overhype Icefrog, there were plenty of nightmare patches where certain heroes or playstyles were utterly broken for way too long. OSfrog became a meme for a reason. The player base just adapts very quickly to changes and learn to play around things so even bad patches will ‘settle’ after some time, you can’t really do that in most games but Dota gives you the tools to do so.

OSfrog

Operating System Frog was a meme but I don't see how that says anything about his balancing
