After reading the whole change log summaries, I've decided to pen down my thought about this DotA v6.55.
Personally, I dislike the changes of the terrain. The entrances are far too wide and it's very easy for your opponent to strike in.
Probably the changes were to made for qualifying to WCG? Cuz it takes less time to win a match than the previous version. You see the wide entrances for easy attacks but hard to defend that makes the game end as fast as possible.
Town Portal now is unable to bless the phucking tower for the purpose of fast pushing.
One word for IceFrog, brilliant. Put in a lot of efforts just to plan that DotA is qualified into WCG gaming list which I don't really like DotA will be in WCG. No offense.
Why don't just wipe off the Tango and other healing stuffs so the game would end more fast?
Let's check out the differences between the 6.54b entrances and the 6.55b entrances.
Scourge base entrances:
1. Top entrance for 6.54b. It's around 8cm wide.
2. Top entrance for 6.55b. It's around 14cm wide.
3. Mid entrance for 6.54b. It's around 8.5cm wide.
4. Mid entrance for 6.55b. It's around 15cm wide.
5. Bottom entrance for 6.54b. It's around 11cm wide.
6. Bottom entrance for 6.55b. It's around 17cm wide.
Okay...that is it. I'm kind of lazy to measure the sentinel entrances. Well, honestly, I really measure them with the ruler. However, just want to show how huge are the difference. Big entrances means your opponents can strike into your base easily while you hardly defend from the inside. In short, it's hard to counter back in version 6.55 once they have pushed in. Why? Because town portal now does not give your buildings armor anymore. Okay, you say there's this new item Glyph of Fortification to armor all your buildings, but hey, after using it, it's 6 minutes cool down man which means, in average 60 minutes game, you only able to use it for 10 times.
Last but not least, like I said, the big changes I think probably it's for the qualification to enter WCG? Hmm~...to tell you the truth, I don't want DotA in the WCG gaming list forever. No matter how short duration the game it takes. I don't care, just phuck the hell off.
