SearchReliable vs Unreliable Gold
Posted by Terrence "MrBlue" Wong 1 year ago
Just a few days ago, IceFrog reveals that there will be new heroes coming in the upcoming 6.68 version. But that ain't all the trick up our favorite frog's sleeve as a new gold mechanic will be added to encourage more ganking strategies.In IceFrog's latest blog post, he reveals a new feature called Reliable vs Unreliable Gold. There will be two kinds of gold in the new version, the reliable gold comes from hero kills while unreliable gold comes from other creep kills.
With the two different gold in place, Hero deaths will only incur a loss of gold from the unreliable gold pool, allowing ganking heroes to stack up on gold that they can't lose. Buying items, will first use up gold from the unreliable gold pool and the remainder will be deducted from the reliable gold pool.
IceFrog states however, that this is an experimental idea and it will be tweaked or modified based on feedback of the new mechanic.

Amazing... Gj icefrog666  |
| omg thats awesome |
| Interesting idea, have to see it in action first tho.. |
| wow... this will be quite intersting |
| how about he just fucking boosts the hero kill gold. problem solved. |
COol  |
| this is interesting. more ganks cominggg |
| #5 Or award gold for assists. |
| #8 ... Stupid ....... You got gold when you assist in this map already nUUB |
| nice |
| im looking forward to the new bugs xD |
 good idea |
| Sup european dota, bbai asian dota. |
| gj icefrog, interesting heros, we're waiting the new version... |
| i like it so much |
| Me likey. Icefrog cool. |
| realy smart guy who came up with this idea. i think its realy cool |
| gank <3 |
| oh god a version in favor of sgty |
| #18 I guess I'll join him. Btw you're an idiot. Thats a really interesting idea can't wait to see it in action. |
| #8 Nice phail, u already get gold for assist. #18 So what? You still get gold from creeping, this change doesn't make farming less usefull -.- |
| really epic idea... |
| #13 you really think chinese dota cant adapt to this style ? lol your stupid chinese players pick the safest/best/closest to perfect style in every version and play it so if ganks turn out to be the "thing" in the next version expect the chinese to outgank eu |
| insane Icefrog !!! amazing ...drop out 6.68..... !!!!!cant wait no longer... |
| WOW!, This is like the best idea ever, I was thinking about this idea, It's REALLY awesome! |
| #18 You're so dumb this doesnt change anything what so ever. |
| how about assist... that can gain more gold too |
killing4joy Wrote: your right, thats exactly what you are.ego maniac + attention whore! |
| Sounds promising but will the public like it or not. |
| this sucks,we go asia instead |
| just add +100-150 gold for assist |
| #18 had a bad game and got ganked? :F |
| hm supporters will have moar gold |
| #34 yea. right killing wards too... i mean obs and sentry. just add like 50 gold  |
| It is the way to go! Chinese wont be able to farm for 30 minutes and dominate any more!! More Gank-style gameplay and more team fights!!! Nice thought Icefrog! #18 who the f* r u anyways? The owner of the map is Iceforg. He works hard on the map and deserves attention! |
| #34 The thing is that there will be no supporters!!! (*dreaming*) Don't fall for #18 trolling. |
| dont really like it dunno why:O |
| I must play some dota and test this thing out. Mby I'll get hooked again. :) |
| Is that mean pudge back in action? |
| okay so lets play more defensive |
| Nice idea, lets wait the map be released and see how does it works. Icefrog always do a great job, lets trust in him :D |
| That is a great idea. GJ Icefrog. |
| has somebody been smoking some weed? cos this is a crazy ass idea (brilliant though) |
| hmmmm i dont think this will do the game mor gank-oriented team will definetely play more defensive to not give the opponent money they cant loose |
| yeah ! |
| cool stuff mr frog waiting for the next preview :) |
| i dont know if im right or not but with this idea icefrog should remove 2 of 3 lines and also he must delete agilty heroes becuase with this system best way is to play 5 inteligence hero while all of them will go mid |
| lol @#48 #49 strongly agree |
