Go on tor, abuse it, and rename the index file to index2.html. Disable the offending vulnerability.

Create a new index file with step by step reproduction instructions in English.

This will get responses.

Except BBC is horribly biased when it comes to certain things, like the Scottish referendum coverage.

Nah, it's probably Icefrog who works from China (see his Weibo post times which matches someone in China).

You have the numbers backwards.

It's a simple numbers patch. It's made by Icefrog. Many suspect Icefrog is in China due to his time zone, fluent Chinese and communication on Chinese social networks.

These are assist gold/xp bounties. Kill gold/xp was never modified (well, the streak bonus was decreased in 6.82-patched)

Updated kill reward calculator for 6.82b by Sadako_ in DotA2

The reason is that streaks =/= net worth. Killstreak bounties favored a farming strategy over a teamfight strategy.

I sent my MP an email protesting the new anti-terror laws. This was his response. by the_matriarchy in australia

The issue is that his response is completely irrelevant. Jailing journalists does not do anything to protect against terrorism, nor does it make anyone safer. It only allows covering up of abuses of national security powers.

No. We're not a target if we stop sending our troops overseas.

That's what this does. It's end to end encrypted, and the server only sees the ciphertext.

It does - it's called opportunity cost. It's actually more than you think - there needs to be localized strings for every single language, the UI needs to be tested to work on all screen resolutions, they need to add another game flag so you can't continuously rematch to boost MMR...

It's not going to be something a dev can do in a hour or something.

MAIN client update for 27th September by What-A-Baller in DotA2

I know.

Everyone is ignoring that it takes multiple team fights where you get wiped out for the enemy to close the gap.

That's because everyone thinks.. if I have an advantage, I should be able to be careless. I'm going to fountain dive with the new fountain!!

Oh no, all 5 of us died in fountain because witch doctor casted death ward..

Here's a hint: Unless ancient is getting autopushed by creeps, you don't fountain dive.

I'd wager 80%+ of complaints about comebacks is from failed fountain dives.

Could a Chinese speaker please give us a brief summary of Chinese netizens and Chinese pros reactions to the patch? by everythings_alright in DotA2

Icefrog is fluent in Chinese to the level of a native speaker. I think it's probable that Icefrog is Chinese.

I like it. We've built up the mentality that supports should lack access to late game items for some reason. Supports are still very much supports.

I think this goes too harshly. Now simply having an ally nearby doubles the assist gold you get. That's too major.

I think 0.5 to even 0.4 would be letter.

0.5 to 0.38 for solo seems too heavy of a nerf...

It now goes:

  • 0.38
  • 0.35
  • 0.25
  • 0.2
  • 0.15

This just artificially gimps the mechanic in narrow conditions.

Dropping items to decrease team networth when going for isolated pickoffs. by Nevorno in DotA2

[–]goldcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Net worth is calculated as:

current gold + sum of all items owned by player

It's not just items in inventory, doesn't matter if it's in stash, ground, courier... still counts as being owned by you.
