    Sōu ka

      ?
      there was nothing for you to see what couldn't have been hid before anyway

      ;asd

        yeh but i am sure its going to be on for everyone by default

        one and half gun

          nothing for us to see? you're kidding right? we can watch how there are players with 1 win on the FIRST GAME ON FRONT PAGE in dota 2 TV and you tell us there's nothing for us to see? you just don't get it, do you?

          now you wont be able to check his dota or steam profile at all, this is fucking hilarious valve

            Dota 2 Update - July 26th, 2013
            -Wins and level are now hidden for players that aren't friends and don't have 'Share Match History' in the options enabled

            one and half gun

              yeah, what's your point? now you can't see how many hours they have in dota or if they have 3 heroes in their top 3 most succesful heroes at all to confirm if they are new/smurfing

              nor can you see if they have any ocmmendations, this game is so fucking casual it hurts

                  Who cares about that, "Pudge: Meat Hook now pulls the target to the initial hook position regardless of where Pudge is"

                    shit players will continue to be shit

                    Relentless

                      The main impact of these changes as I see it:

                      Matchmaking not fixed...enough said

                      Bug and Gimmick Fixes:
                      - no more accidental vanguard on Timbersaw
                      - Medusa will now not be picked because she is weak instead of it being impossible
                      - OD astral bug draining all mana permanently fixed...solo mid heroes rejoice
                      - Timbersaw always gets away bug fixed...stuns actually work on him again
                      - Fountain hooks are done...I liked that bug...but it was imba
                      - Armlet BS toggles fixed
                      - Shadow Blade attack before casting a stun...now it matters if you are fast again instead of every nub being able to do it.
                      -----------------------------------------------------------

                      Better User Interface
                      - Control Groups are tied to Heroes and persist between games! Finally all the micro heroes are playable my bad microers like me!!!!!
                      - Alt-left click on the top to send a specific hero missing message! It is now possible for mia calls to mean something!...90% of players unaffected by this change since they never call missing anyway
                      - Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese Languages....will this mean English is actually for English speakers? probably not.

                      Community
                      - Players that should be muted now only fill my games 1 day every 3 weeks Players that should be in LPQ still come out every Sunday to throw and intentionally feed before I re-ban them.

                      - Cosmetic Items have now been added to the Anti-smurf. Smurf accounts get crap item drops. Main accounts get good ones.

                      - It should now be possible to organize my items and actually find something. I hope so.

                      - rational economic supply and demand understanding has finally been applied. Now old items will not increase in number forever and becomes worthless.

                      - Small LAN tournaments are much easier to do

                      -------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Captains Draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      I will actually que for this. Full CM is way way to hard if for a reasonable draft if you don't have a full team that plays together. CD does actually work for pub games because choices are so much more limited. It was my favorite mode in dota 1. I will probably play CD every game now when I don't have a good stack.

                        YES I LOVE ME SOME CAPTAINS DRAFT!

                        Like I spent so much of my time playing dota 1 ih using CD mode, good times are waiting!

                        AbsolutMango

                          How will it work concerning who gets to be captain?

                          himself

                            Is it that you queue to be captain or not?

                            AbsolutMango

                              I don't believe so, they talked about "selecting" to be captain in-game, but I really hope it's not just a race to the captain.

                              ;asd

                                without reading about selecting captain i am 100%sure at this point in time its extremely abusable and most likely broken in some way too
                                thats how valve does things mm/mute system/hero performance bars I/II/hall of fame/guilds/ everything broken/bugged or not working at all they just brainlessly implement random ideas without any thinking

                                ;asd

                                  and i think its safe to expect hidden names too

                                    yes force hidden nicknames
                                    thank you valve for protecting my privacy thomas jefferson would be proud 9/11 never forget god bless

                                    Swiftending

                                      i wont be surprised if they implement an option to hide shit like hero score last hits items gpm xpm level etc in the end game screen next patch as well

                                      this is so people cant complain about 1 win smurfs in their games btw. cant fix mm? hide every proof of it being broken

                                        How is armlet toggle going to work?

                                        ;asd

                                          from h4nni s twitter @DOTA2 The matchmaking experience the past week was the worst I've had ever since I switched to DotA. SoloQ is pretty much impossible #fix

                                          ;asd

                                            i really wonder where do they get all those braindead shit devs to work on dota 2 first eric tams complete idiot now fletcher even more retarded dev
                                            like really how hard can it be to find someone who works there and understands that dota 2 is team game and you shouldnt match people with 1k rating difference on same fuckin team especially when stats are invisible and weakest link on team can go mid np
