This new map is sick, there's defnitely room for improvement though I can't see why most ppl on here want the old one. Grow some balls and accept it!!

i have tried some heroes in new map, so far so good. Its good to see the change unfortunately too many players refuse to adapt. i personally am enjoying the new maps, especially the items are cool. soe of items location has changed but once you get the grip its fun. LC is nerfed though thats what i feel so is slark a bit. but thats ok coz this means come of the pickers will give try to other heroes. Also i have notice that most players are not even interested trying for new items. Still going for same old heroes with same old build.

First of all, I want to thank all the passionate people who worked so hard on this new map version. I played a match today and it’s clear that a lot of hours went into these changes.

For my part, I’ll allow myself to comment on only one hero: Techies. In my opinion, Techies used to be a true team hero because even in the late game, he still had a strong impact. I could take on heroes like Bara or even Centaur in epic 1v1 fights and come out on top.

In this new version, Techies has lost his late-game strength. The Aghanim’s upgrade combined with level 16 Remotes feels much weaker than before, and the number of mines required to kill a level 20 enemy is simply unrealistic.

I strongly suggest bringing back the original values for mines and remotes, as well as restoring the previous countdown timers. With this new version, my chances of playing Techies again are honestly close to 0%.

That said, aside from a few visual bugs (for example, when adding units to a control group), the map changes themselves are really well done. The addition of many small side paths, the new items, and the new commands are all great improvements. Overall, excellent work.

All, a poll has been added to this post which will last for 7 days. We will collect the votes and make a determination if we should stay on new map, revert back to 6.83 or we need more time on the new map. A decision will be made on 1/29 at 12 PM EST.

Note: You are allowed to select up to 2 options. This is incase you are not fully sure yet and need more time on the new map. You are able/allowed to change your vote within the 7 days.

Final words - Regardless, if the decision is to stay on the new map 6.85 or revert back to the old 6.83 we will not be changing it again for another decade (exactly how some of you folks like it). Just to reiterate this, if the decision is to stay on the new map 6.85 (DotA v6.85ne14b.w3x) this exact version that will remain with no foreseeable or expected upgrade/updates in the future (not even minor updates) and don't ask us for any upgrades in the future. The same applies if the decision is to revert back to old.

Please make your votes. Thank you.

Thank you guys for the feedback and votes. Please keep them coming. Bumping this message ^^^^

Some of these votes shouldn't even count... Lets be real, will going back to the old map make things change? If they can't do a simple adjustment, Idk wtf you really playing this game for.

[T-A-Z]

Any suggestions on how to fix this? Everytime I load up it does this and takes a while to load. Also in this new map everytime I click the new item building it freezes for a little like it’s buffering?..

hello guys,

Why can't we just host 2 games one with old map and the other with the new map it can be a solution ?

i was thinking the same but the problem is we hardly have enough players left. As we know we hardly get 2 games at a time, 3 is rare these days 1 game goes and then wait for that to end. So i don't think if we get both map hosted, the game will get full.
