Afaik based on steam charts, 3.14 player retention is still higher than previous leagies. Can't comment on client side as there is no visibility.

that's not true. player retention atm is very good (mostly due to Echoes content I guess)

Im not gonna lie I wouldnt be surprised if player retention went up during the last few months and id take it as a good sign.

Hhhhaowever.

It would be nice to get the actual data from ggg's client and not just the steam port. Also they need to keep this trend going and quit with the flippy floppy bullshit.

that's the actual data. they've said many times when talking about concurrent players record, that about half of total players use steam, so double the numbers.
not long ago in your previous post you stated with confidence that retention 'has been trash', and now you're trying to move the goalpost and weasel your way out of it. so pathetic.
how difficult is it to admit 'ok I was wrong', I guess your ego won't allow it.

Anyhow, it is true that 3.14 will have less content updates compared to 3.13.

I barely play Dota anymore..
Maybe will play some in a while

Its pretty sad that you continue to coddle tencents balls like this but whatever. Next leagues gonna be garbage and fuck the numbers anyway. Ive said nothing but good things about ritual league. Stay mad.

thats amazing you speak but have nothing to say, no value, make no sense no argument.

continue?... oh? and where did I start? interesting.

bottom line is that you claimed player retention had been trash, you were proven wrong by me providing factual data that Echoes had best retention ever so far, and now you're unable to simply admit you were wrong and move on, because you're not a man but a child.
that's all there is to it, further replies from you won't be necessary, thanks.

Even if GGG weren't a bunch of brilliant fuckers, and the next league was mediocre, I'd still be excited for another league trying new builds with all the homies.

Though i'm pretty sure the league mechanic will be awesome as usual.

should be good, hoping that all of the builds I want to play don't get deleted in the patch notes like last league
