PSA: Leaderboards, older patches, legacy runs.

Hey there, it's me.

So, during the past ~3 months i've been thinking about the ways i should (again) run the boards. Since the <6.88 situation (where i've accidently removed all the runs, after backing them up in the Google Docs), it's been quite a lot of time for the patches to come, and for the runs to get submitted.

Eventually, we came to the point where 7.07 runs are unbeatable, map and heroes are changed, new mechanics were introduced. I guess it's time to make another board sweep.

This time, no runs will be lost.

In Misc. category, you will find [Legacy] runs. All current runs (prior to 7.22) will be held there without additional subcategories or separations, meaning 7.07 run will be competing against 7.00, 7.21, 7.16 etc. runs.

But Meka, what about older patches? Sure.

@TheLaughingMax discovered a way to launch older Dota versions by using backed up Source1 executable. Meaning that a vast majority of patches are now available to play. These runs will be held in Legacy category, which brings the older (GDocs) runs to a question.

Honestly, i've fucked up very badly last time (sorry, again), i wasn't experienced w/ backend of the site, and i actually should've tried doing a bunch of things differently. Since this "leaderboards patch" should fix the older problems, i consider bringing the older runs back, if i'll be able to recover them, somehow.

The following changes will be done during August:

  1. Moving all <7.22 runs to [Legacy] Misc. category.
  2. Reformatting DotA versions to be era-based (7.22 era, Legacy, 6.88 era, etc.), instead of version based
  3. I'll attempt to bring older runs back. If you want to take a look at them, use this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1m0bjfuSuxLjqs9XylkVdPnOj3Hhu2OrKLgjiLdf7lKE/edit?usp=sharing

Expect your runs to suddenly disappear into Misc. categories. Thanks for your... patience?

If you have something else to bring up to the table (that i def. forgot), do it now.

I think if the runners of the old patches before your first sweep really care for their runs, they can resubmit them.

One question: will the IL "legacy" runs still be found in the IL section or will they all be moved to the full game section? I would prefer the first option.

EDIT: forget about my question. the IL runs have a different ruleset anyway...

SF solo rosh is still doable at the same speed because no changes were actually made against SF/Clarity/Mango/Courrier/Bounty's/ creeps hp and gold and Roshan him self OFC, also +80 dmg with first lvl raze bug was never fixed, so he is currently fastest solo killer so leave it plex, tyty xoxo :3 PS i mean 7.19c run pss might even be faster with 0.3 mana regen buff Pog

idk about IL's, not sure if i should actually touch IL's at all and preserve the same amount of effort to make them look somewhat presentable, so probably no changes will be done to IL's.

okay, so the only thing missing in the ILs is the ability to choose every version there. my enchantress run on 6.84c is still listed as 7.07. thanks btw for all your effort.

7.35 Update released, all runs moved to Legacy

The 7.35 update brings a lot of changes to heroes, items, and even the map. We've decided it warrants a full Legacy move once again, as per usual. Good luck to people running in the new patch!
