Now that the dust is settled, what do we think about the new hero?
sex with hoodwink
nigga frog
>>728884880>why isnt dota more popular than Lol?beats me
i have no opinion on account of the fact that I haven't played dota in over 10 years
Who caresI thought millions of dead russians would fix the game, but no, Dota will never be good again until they actually make matchmaking fair. Its impossible to gain MMR without patch abuse
>>728885001This
>>728885151>course correct after censoring females left and rightlmao
>>728884880Good in lane, pretty useless after>>728885169Shitter cope
>>728885001the name hoodwink refers to the fact that she has a big fat cock she'll be fucking you with
>>728884880The tongue needs to pull you out of DuelHe's also very undertuned
>>728885294
Imagine if your ult was Witch Doctor's... heal... except it disarmed you and silenced you.No stun, no damage potential, hero needs massive number boosts or he will continue to suck.
I feel a little overwhelmed thinking of getting into this game but I'll just pick characters and items based on vibes and see what happens.
>>728886080If you're ultra new I recommend these three characters to learn the roles>Dragon Knight safelane or offlaneJohn Dota, the most vanilla boring hero in the game, does a bit of everything. Will teach you half of the mechanics in the game, and is really forgiving because of free healing>Crystal Maiden hard supportto learn that supports aren't sissies, they are the strongest heroes for most of the game with insane spells and kill potential but need good positioning because you die to a sneeze>Razor 3 or 2You can literally build anything on him. Smash your head against the keyboard on the shop and you'll have a viable Razor build. He's my favorite.or just pick whatever you feel like lol
I think he’s made by known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>728886810Based Artifact anon.
>>728885151Nobody asked this.
>>728886810> Artifact fanbaseAll five of them.
>>728885919>disarmedAnd the fact that it doesn't even make any sense. His attack animation is a front kick, but he supposedly can't attack because he is playing banjo.Design and execution team didn't communicate at all, so it seems.
>>728885919>>728887874>Except it silenced youYou know it has a 2 second cooldown and you can end it anytime right?The point is you weave it inbetween your other skills CDsIts numbers are ass though I agree.
>>728884880Seems like a hero just for the sake of adding a hero.
Alright /v/, I assume you're all Immortals and above, so what's the proper way to play POS 4? I've been seeing a lot of back and forth on >the pos 4 is supposed to rotate early, by 6 minute rune at the latest, if he's still in offlane he's greifing >the pos 4 is supposed to sit in lane and dump all his health and spells into stopping the enemy pos 1, if he ever leaves offlane he's greifing
>>728888102it's a MOBA, when is this ever not the case
>>728884880He's a tight nigga, but idk. It's just good design but it's not eye catching>>728885151>le generic coombait design (x infinity)Good character design for coomers, but League is sloppa-tier with so few themes outside of some well made niggas like Jhin that the game in general suffers for it. Lowest common denominator slop is cancer, considering dota is already a bit LCD-adjacent because MOBA that's saying something
Too reliant on teammates picking heroes that have good synergy with his skills like Timbersaw or Primal Beast for example, without said picks he quickly becomes useless past earlygame
Anyone playing Smite 2?
>>728888192I used to love chaos knight. People would make no attempt to stop me farming and then I would just run them over. Dont know why chaos knight isnt a hard carry.
>>728888423i only play smite 1
>>728888182This is all wrong>the pos 4 is supposed to FUCK THE MIDThat is all
>>728888423>>728888568I want to play smite 2 but I've heard it was asscheeks the first patch and none of my smite addicted friends want to touch it yet
>>728888182Depends on the lane.
Hoodwink is an animal, you can't do that.
>>728888182I crush with nyx and generally agree with the latter, leaving lane before you hit 6 delays your power spikes and who gives a shit about pressuring an enemy offlaner who will just tank your shit anyway. Sometimes you have to rotate early to win a fight but it's only when your pos 5 can't protect your pos 1. Waste of mana and XP to rotate all the time and you give up pressure on enemy safelane. I only rotate before level 6 when my pos 1 is in big trouble or the enemy is obviously vulnerable.
>>728888182pos4 is the bigbrain role where you can do anything...but generally i would stay and leech level 6 on heroes with a really good ult, look to roam on heroes without one
>>728886346Thanks for the advice anon, I'll give all three a try!
>>728888290MOBA Multiplayer Online Battle Arena is Quake 3 or Counter strike Dota was and always is ASSFAGGOTSAeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides
isnt is soon to claim the dust has settled?
>>728885294you just say that because the big pants
>>728889304My bad King, I forgot about ASSFAGGOTS.
Hoodwink is for sex
>>728890613degens everywhere
/v/ is for leaguechads only
>>728884880finally, a obese banjo playing green skinned horned frog. my dream fap is now real
is he fun to play?
>>728892606The horns were very unnecessary.
>>728892439The most reasonable take on league vs dota has always been league is all about skillshots where you can turn off your brain and hope to hit something while dota is about strategy and working together and if you play brain off you will lose.Which one is "better" is up to how you like to enjoy games. They are different experiences altogether despite the similar look.
>>728892874Sex
>io but for spellcasters instead of rightclickersIt's neat that he fills a niche that didn't exist before but holy shit he's just a walking healbot in pubs
>>728895472One of Io's facet already covers that role, no?One is for offense, other for defense.
>>728884880played about 15 matches with him so far, really fun and unique hero
>>728896263frog buffs allied spell damage, so if you have someone like zeus or lion you can use him to shit out insane nukes
>>728885001Imagine if she stashed your nuts in her cheeks like a couple of acorns...!
>>728887874>Design and execution teamI'm 99,99% certain that Dota 2 doesn't have that many teams working on it
The rhythm minigame must depart. It requires the player's attention, during a fucking team fight.I'm happy devs tried something unique, but... not like that.
>>728885919>In a kit where you can turn on and off your ult that lets you either damage, heal, or add mobility to your team on and off or even two at a time>which also gives you a lot of armor and cooldown reduction>while you have a longterm deployable mini-stun grenade>and a fat nuke>and a press and forget buff>an anon somehow thinks this off-tank healslut needs moreLearn to get good, he and Witch Doctor do different things.
>>728895472>>728896263This guy is good for rightclickers too though>gets to add lotus and linkens buff for free on cooldown to carry at no cost to himself>gives a juicy 30% free magic damage on right clickHe's certainly multi-faceted heh
>>728888182Depends on who you play and what you're up against. Fundamentally, you need to make a cost-benefit calculation at the start of the game and every minute on whether 1 of 3 things will be most effective:LaneGank MidGank BotIf you have a bot lane that has kill potential, and/or the enemy bot is over extended and/or not mobile, and your 1 can be relied on to carry, you'll want to gank bot.If mid has low enough HP and your own mid has kill potential, go mid. Generally, winning mid gives you a lot of momentum you can use to shut out the game.If you have a good 3 and you can farm the 1 and 5, just do that.The toughest part of of 4 is realizing which of these 3 options is the correct one to make, because if you choose wrong and waste time or die you only end up behind, while if the enemy makes a correct choice and profits you end up even more behind.
>>728885151now if only the in game models looked anything like the splash art oh well lol
>>728895472io gives spell amp tho, lesh io is a really popular combo
>>728888182DependsIf you manage to stomp their safe lane you continute to stomp their safe lane you dont move from it, you let them react to youRotation ganking only works if you know you are getting the kill and pos5 is doing the vision clearanceEven if you smoke they know you are not where you should beDota is instinct game, no hard rules and why you learn new things in 10k hour game
>>728888816you're supposed to help your mid get 6 min rune, and sometimes you can win the game on the spot by even going for water runes if the enemy mid banked it all on being able to regen from it
>>728898108The problem with dota is that ingame models really look like splashart
I used to be 4k mmr way back when it was considered impressive.
>>728885151I bet you think the k-pop garbage is hot too.
>>728895472>use E on yourself>use linken/lotus/solar crest on yourself>the closest ally gets the same thingnigga is bs
>>728900428Now that's economic value!
>>728884880broolslop suppportslop chunggusslop
>>728897506Doesn't his E only apply to magical damage?
>>728884880built for bellyrubs
>>728902070It's a feature on his ult, granted, but he does give your right clickers a 30% damage bonus.
>>728892874Hoodwink seems like the kinda gal to sneak into a fancy function at a Krimwohl aristocrat's manor as "exotic entertainment" just so she can secretly burn the whole place down
>>728902070His E applies to all abilities and items that deal damage regardless of type.
FAGGOT ICEFROG I BEEN WAITING 16 YEARS FOR GAMBLER
>>728885151As a LoL player I actually love Dota's designs but could never enjoy the gameplay, now I'm just here waiting for deadlock since I also love the designs of that one
>>728885151Should've posted an actual good design from League and not that generic bitch.
>>728885151now post the inevitable woke redesign like they did with leblanc
>>728898108>now if only the in game models looked anything like the splash arttheyre getting closer these days
>>728903503>You know what this artist likes to draw just from the perspectiveDear God, is this what it feels like to be a degenerate?>>728903397Gambler never, either IceFraud has given up or he hasn't figured out how to allow gold manipulation mechanics be both fun and engaging without making it some Twisted Fate-tier boring roll gold on kill thing. Also,>would cut into alchemist's niche>gambler's aesthetic was already aped by Twisted FateWhat is the guy going to do? It's never been more over for Gambler bros
>>728903503As dota player, i agree, i like this dude's coat made of two coats sewn together.
>>728888691mixed-building really killed it because HR have no idea how to balance, so you have absurd shit like damage Ganesh 100-0'ing you in a few seconds. Or crit attack speed ymir.Or tank vulcan still half-lifing squishies
>>728903949There's few league characters with sovl, but those that there are definitely have a lot. It's just a shame they're stuck in League
every NUdota CHAMPION after hoodwink just feels like a bootleg league character anyway idk why dotachuds think they're better icefraud lost his edge ages agoand don't get me started on how they still can't fucking decide on what Clinkz is suppoed to be
>>728904163As hot as she is, Hoodwink was made from scraps of mechanics from other heroes. Snapfire was the last good hero.
>>728884880I want to draw a Largo smug pepe where he's holding one of his little froglets up in his other hand who himself is making the same expression but I have to go to work in 30 minutes
>>728904107>There's few league characters with sovl,Honestly, the ratio of Soul:Soulless in League prior to 2017 or 2018 is pretty fucking good. It's only when they started really aggressively pandering to normalfags and China that it got lame.
>>728904163I don't understand why clinkz of all heroes is so hard for them to leave alone. All he does is shoot fast and go invisible when it's not a good time to be shooting.
>>728903429>waiting fordo you think invites are actually scarce
>>728904452>>728904107>>728903949
>>728885151miss fortune is responsible for my obsession with redheads
>>728904709The game's art is clearly not finished, I'd rather wait for it to get the full release.
>>728904452>>728904807Fuck early league OC was so peak, even the more conventionally attractive characters had a degree of thought or weirdness to them that was sovl. I'm not sure when exactly it started changing and with what character, though I'd say maybe Aphelios. Aphelios is a weird mix of both inspired kino (mute jewish moonpriest hitman) and cringe china pandering (asian pretty boy face, slender design for a hitman). Arguably, it started even earlier. Also, fuck NA has good taste at least>Warwick Ekko and Jhin in top 16>Asia won't even look at Jhin, league's best designZero soul bugmen
>>728904812sure but 5head yamato and undecorated interiors is like a 1% decrease in enjoyment. you should at least try it out next month's patch when they drop more heros and a casual street brawl mode
>>728885151now post modern caitlyn
