First is first don't listen to all the crybabies saying 7.00 ruined this game, it did nothing of the sort.

The game has changed significantly and people are mad because they're scared of change. 7.00 has been a great addition to the game, the HUD is now uniform with how the Reborn menu system looks, and also it's a lot less intrusive and minimalistic, which I personally prefer.

If you were thinking of playing Dota 2 for your first time in patch 7.00 I would say this is the best time, the game has just recieved the biggest update it's going to see for a while, so come check it out while it's all novel and cool, I simply can't recommend it enough. -CENK-
