Significant revision of how bots determine their strategic desires.

Made bots somewhat more likely to buy a flying courier.

WORKSHOP:
Added a new Import Wearable option to the Publish New Item section of the in-game workshop UI. It will compile, validate, and preview your model before you submit it. When submitting, it also packs the files into a format that makes it much easier for us to bring it into the game.

Sooooo good to have KOTL in the lineup. Just went 13-4 my first game with him, he's such a champ of a hero.

[TargAFan#1]

Look out for Generation Gaming in the Australian DotA 2 scene! We might not be the best yet, but we did qualify for the elite ladder in some alienware tournament, and we hope to be able to improve enough so that we can compete with the best of the best

[pja]

I'd love to play! Played DotA for a good 5 years now

[Carnifex]

Still playing this - picked up playing it regularly again since I quit work. If anyone else has nothing to do during the day, hit me up for some games.

[ToRsupapower]

Can't change graphics settings anymore t.t can't play anymore

[MazEi]

Yo I'm playing this only really now, aside from some diablo 3 from time to time. If I'm not playing with my buddies I'd love joining in. No more in-houses these days?

I am up for one anyday

[cruxis]

There's never enough people for an in-house.

And I must say, buying battle points bonus really cuts out the bm in matches.

iknowright!

Battle poitns bonus = instant lovefest in my favour.

[MazEi]

So how's everyone's games going?

I play with my friends a lot and I seem to be getting into the role of being the carry for the team between my friends, they just don't seem to want to play em, though like only one of them actually does support stuff like buy couriers and wards, well wards almost never unless I play support.

[Bash]

Smahsed out heaps of games lately, since im up all night and sleep through the day, gives me plenty of dotatime.

Unlocked a chest and got myself


"Unusual Lockjaw the Boxhound" - Unusual Immortal International Courier.

According to r/dota2trade. its worth a bit ^_^

[cruxis]

Oh man. I just played the best game of dota ever. Match ID is 35918505.

If you don't want to watch:

I pick void and go top lane. 4 minutes or so in, pudge on our side gives first blood to their queen of pain, and immediately disconnects. I figure I'm now fighting a losing game, but keep playing.

Farming is going alright, till they have taken down some towers and finally decide to work on my lane. I give them the towers, because i can't defend alone and my team doesn't want to protect them it seems.

Eventually I get my mask of madness and desolator. That's when I know I can now really start helping in team fights. We group up, and stomp down mid. gee gee lads.

I don't think we would have won if i wasn't void. He really is the best carry in the game in my opinion.

Void is probs my favourite carry to play, such a fun hero, sucks if they pick tiny though, you'll never kill that prick lategame haha, dat passive stun.

[DUCKVILLELOL]

I'll be up for some in-house matches if anyone is interested

[MazEi]

Wow, just realised, no talk of The International here?

Don't think Na`vi's taking it this year.

if Dendi plays pudge they'll be fine - those where the only games i watched that they won, they looked really disappointing in the others :\

Also - how about EG's turnaround from losing every game on day 1 to eventually making the upper bracket?
