I'm currently using a 2011 MBA 11" for playing Dota 2. It's bad enough already (basically playing at lowest setting) and I was wondering whether anyone noticed any slowdown in terms of performance for Dota 2 on Yosemite.

Thanks.

Yes, I noticed slower performance overall, and far more troubling, graphical glitches (UI elements flashing, random colors) followed by crashes to desktop. It was so bad I reverted to Mavericks because of it, and all is well now. This is on a late 2013 rMBP 13".

Ah right ok.

Thanks.

Just dodged a bullet here for me then, I suppose.

That was my primary concern for not upgrading.

yeah, if dota 2 performance is a big concern then i wouldn't. I haven't seen other reports of my particular graphics issue, but there are lots of other posts around the web about the significant hit to framerate from upgrading.
