New map out 6.58
I personally think even if a stable comes out that ssdl should be 6.57b the whole way.

All IH's/Scrims have moved on to .58, no one really wants to play .57b anymore.

way to speak about "all wars and scrims". Because you obviously speak for the entire dota community. Well the ones i have been in have all been .57b or the ones that accidentally were made .58b we autoban dirge and storm. on of our regulars didnt even have the new map until yesterday when sum1 accidentally made a .58b game, because all our games have been stable version. PUBS have moved on, as they always do.

As far as I know even most top dota teams are still playing stable such as the very recent kode5 even and the f4f6 going on right now, no competitive replays are coming out as 6.58

IDEC uses 6.58b now but according to sgamer most CWs are still being played on 6.57b.

Wow, way to compare us to f4f etc. You can auto ban dirge/ss and restrict blademail if you want I'd still rather play .58b waay more.

Well no, I was just using those as a better example that I have actual proof of, most of the clans I know are still playing 6.57b as the map version for wars..

International teams will stay on .57b because they are playing in tournaments for money in that version, so of course they want to practice. However we are not so I don't see why we wouldn't move on to a more balanced version.

rofl at more balanced. as if. theres a reason its called a "stable map".

Subject: Re: 6.58 new map Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:24 am

I guess he means a version where current top picks/bans aren't as imba such as kotl sa visage pirate?
I dunno I'm guessing that's what he means, balanced/stable isn't really the same thing although it is related..

Because nerfing Visage, SA, Spec, Kunkka, KotL, N'aix and Meepo makes a less balanced version.... right.

Everyone on BA plays .58

It makes more fun/unused heros a bit more viable, without them being too strong. We can see more morphling, bloodseeker, venomancer etc.

Also, it's good to start using the new versions earlier, because then when everyone has moved to the new map, you know how to draft/play the current version.
