Has anybody else noticed that Viscous seems overtly childish in the new voice lines?

I'm not sure if it's the direction that the voice actor has been given, the lack of sound edits that the older lines had (from what I've heard, the current lines aren't yet finished edit-wise), the writing or all of it as a whole.

Viscous's writing direction has shifted from the friendly yet determined emissary of The Deep, willing to put the goal of defeating The Adversary before everything else. (e. g. him saying that The Djinn's problems are less serious than The Deep's.)... To a second grader. It's a fun line, one of many the update added, but it often feels like an outlier in an otherwise solid character.

Viscous is an emissary, a political figure of the Deep with a message and ambition first, and a goo ball that studies the customs of the surface, second, not a baby.

For anyone that hasn't played dota this item on the right, Wraith Pact, was so broken the team abusing it the most won the biggest tournament (The international, $8.5M prize pool) by abusing this item extensively every game, which lead to the item getting straight up DELETED from the game in the next few patches. You really think you're funny readding this IceFrog?

Snowball-Deathball-Roam meta right now is absolutely insane.

Once Guardians are down, you just run around the map 24/7 and fight, it's insane, you don't lose anything from deathballing because minions push so slow you can group as 5 or 6 and get a pick or two, and be back to catch the wave before a walker falls.

In Ascendant+ this is 100% of my games right now, 60+ kill games with someone have 25 kills, and someone having 15 deaths by 30 minutes.

This is especially true in Eternus games (If you watch any streamers) the game is just fight fight fight 24/7 with 0 downtime.

What's the solution to this?

Unfortunately I don't know who the author is because I just found it posted on discord without any attribution. The video goes really hard, though, so I'd appreciate if someone pointed out the author.

Some quick art I did using in game screenshots taken in the hideout for reference, hoping to try and do the rest of the new cast as they roll out over the coming weeks ! Will post timelapse process video in the comment section for those interested

Thank you Mina Ha, very cool

Something about it gets me so immersed in the game, so much more then waiting on a menu does. I cannot express how much me and my friends have messed around here for no reason, it really elevates the game SO much more then i would have ever thought

a character so broken it made Sinclair's win rate jump to57%
