Are you irritated by the frequent change log?

Dota is constantly changing, but too much change all the time isn't good. I mean, if you dod not play dota for say 3-4 month, coming back may be a little difficult because so much may have change. Some changes may be small, but some do change the whole dynamics of the hero. Things are always changing! What do you think?

For me? I do not like having changelog because everytime theres a new changelog I feel like a newbie. How i wish everytime theres a new version of DOTA-ALLSTARS and hero/item rise up nothing will change. In summary i only want to have improvement and not for down grade because I want to have a permanent script of game.

I remember because of the changelog my favorite DOTA-ALLSTARS hero named NAIX became weak. In the past version when naix equipped a Monkey King Bar he can able to dominate the game and be able to kill two hero. His last kill called AVATAR really gives a good advantage to protect him. But now in the new version the DOTA-ALLSTARS for me naix became weak because they reworked the skill of it. Then as I Notice many player find negative reaction while using it. Now his last skill became a escaping skill and find hard to use. Not like the past skill which protects him and gives a offensive skill advantage. By the way, the version of DOTA now is 6.60 and the new update of log says that it will became six versus six. If i'm not mistaken I'm sure many players will like to to enjoy more it. Then theres a new hero rise up in the new map. Two heroes are new which a intelligence type and agility type. As I see the reaction of those player who already use it. They said that it's true strong and imbalance because of it's great skill. I'm sure there's a new bugs in this map ahead.

Yes, dota always change and if we don't play for long time then we must learn again to using the skill and our knowledge about the items which being use for the heroes. Some bugs might be fix, but other bugs still found on the script. So, it was never end for updating new dota version.

I agree with you may2k8! If we do not play dota for a long time then try to play again. We will feel like a stranger of a new kind of game. Then for every new version come there are some bugs appear like what you said. But honestly, i think after fixing it there are times that other hero became strong and weak because the imbalance of new change log. If theres a new item again it will also affect the ability of hero. So in summary for every new changelog update theres a biggest change happen.

It's an ever improving game, so we expect it to have new content every so often, nobody would play dota now if they never made the changes, it's what makes it continually interesting. That's is what the changelog is for, to keep you track of the changes. Besides, the gameplay mechanics never change, only the heroes, skills and items change so there is no major adjustments when it comes to playing, the real challenge is coming up with the correct strategy for a newly remade hero or trying out a combination for a newly released or buffed/nerfed item. The joys of playing Dota include the need for continually honing your skills in an ever changing environment. So just step up to the challenge and play along.

I also believed that if there would be no new changelog. Many gamers will no longer play DOTA-ALLSTARS because nothing is new about it. As I know many gamers love to have a new version and they are very excited for a new hero or items. That's why dota-allstar will never end until the updating version goes on. The fun and enjoy will exist.

In some point I think it became better and better. Then everytime theres a new hero on DOTA-ALLSTAR, I feel that a great player in town will rise up to master the new hero and to became a popular one on town.

Sometimes I also get irritated with the change logs. Because it always creates a hero IMBA! But if Dota wont change logs the players would always be picking a certain IMBA hero and the game would not be enjoyable.

Most people like change but I don't. I like palying a single stable map and getting used to it. Whenever a new version comes out it annoys me a bit that I have to adapt again. but it always worked out for me in the end.
