played a game on the dubai server. took 35mins to find a match
There are very few people that play on the dubai server, not to mention the dubai server gives less ping to people in europe than it does to even people living in dubai.

Patch notes from an update released earlier today:

The Singapore matchmaking region will be undergoing some changes next week. There will be a maintenance period from the 13th until the 16th Singapore time. On the 14th the region will be entirely unavailable, and during the other times it will be operating under limited capacity (fewer servers available for usage). We will be rebuilding the clusters on new server hardware and retiring the old server hardware. On the network side, we will be improving the router architecture, as it is currently too susceptible to packet loss under high load.

Icefrog has totally lost it now, the whole 6.82 has been debacle. Its like he's balancing the game off whatever gets more upvotes at reddit.
Well, if that were true, void would get removed and Death Prophet would have a 600 sec CD on her Ulti.

I agree with a lot of these changes.
If you look at the top picks of 6.81 , it's heroes like Brew, DP, Void, Tinker, SKywrath and some others

Top picks of 6.82? Mostly brew, DP, Void, SKywrath, Spectre, ANti Mage and some others.

Even with the decrease in the tower gold advantage and making comebacks easier, these heroes were still dominating pro games as well as pubs, implying there's something that needs to be done about the hero rather than reworking the game mechanics to not suit the hero as much.

Who cares about hero balance changes they hardly matter, its the retarded comeback mechanic that is shitty. Anyone with a brain could see it was ridiculous idea but that dumb idiot only nerfed it once the redditretards got over the initial euphoria and started complaining. Nerfing heroes is pointless when a game like Lol is more balanced than this shit.

Shameless plug:
We recently started a new tournament at PKDota. We have 8 of the best teams playing each another every weekend with between 8 and 12 matches played.
For more details, check us out here or if you would like to skip to the good stuff, go here to buy the ticket or if you would just like to stay in touch with the developing PK scene, give us a shout here.
I know its a lot of links, but I feel that work on this scale deserves to be noticed and appreciated by the local dota 2 crowd :)

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
