>>486895080Marci is so out of place in the dota universe. Another trash decision, just like innates and facets.
>>486896231I don't necessarily disagree but she is just a human female, there isn't too much out of placeness available
The ringmasterWhatever happened there
>>486896579He put a ring around my thing and currently owns my girlfriend
Who we rooting for
honest question, what makes a 'good sven game'? i'm really trying to learn more about how to be effective with sven and i'm trying to figure out what an example of a good line up enemy team would be for him

mason went offline to play deadlock in the sub only discord stream where you have to prove you are in deadlock to watch
>watch someone play deadlockWould rather fall down a hole.
So recently I've been playing pos 5 Tinker and I'm thinking I'm onto something with this. Out of these 5 wins 3 were stomps, all unranked.

>>486903887Cope more plantation nigger, high level Deadlock is way more fun to watch than high level Nudota 2
I just started playing. I left a game because of an IRL emergency and got hit with a 30 minute ban. Are there any large penalties levied again me right now, or does it just start with a 30 minute queue ban and nothing else?
>>486906849Just don't leave too many games or you'll get removed from the playtest
>>486898229i wanna see the grand final be GG vs Falcons

>>486898229>>486909442Haven't paid attention to competitive dota in years is gaimin really elite or is everyone else just garbage
>>486910471i think the 3 best teams are GG, Spirit, and Falconsseems like they're always placing first or second in all the recent majorsQuinn is just too good!
overheard kids talking about dota. maybe we actually are getting new players because they most likely weren't even born when dota 2 came out.
>>486902292fuck off, psg. you already made this post before.
>>486909353this but unironically
>>486910471The whole scene is garbage. There's 2 good teams and everyone else is just varying degrees of shit.
>>486912083There could easily be a dota revival if Valve gave a shit about advertising and catering to new players
>>486912110It's so funny how it's literally never me when you post this stuff I own more value of art books than you do electronics but keep on with that self reinforcing anonymous narrative. It embarrasses you for everyone's entertainment, clown
>>486896231Agreed. I fucking hate everything about her. Literally just, le random epic woman. Innates and facets are whatever.
>>486912620Prove it.
>>486912984To who?
>>486912906Did you notice her body is like 50% larger than chaos knights and twice the size of cm
>>486912457>dota revivalnever gonna happen, if anything gets advertised by valve it'll be deadlock
>>486912620what the fuck are you talking about
>>486914051Deadlock is going to crater and get plug pulledDota has a captive audience and will double in strength if they simply implement guild based leagues with prompt bans for players caught cheating in league playIn effect league would become the "real" ranked since MMR is totally meaningless, gamed and unfixable without complex systems
ICEFROG EXPLAIN THIS
>>486913773Why would you point this out. Fuck you
I just sharted myself literally Heroes for this feel?
>>486914523ESL
>>486914805Explain why a second is wrong Yet another case of ESLs calling shit ESLIt's indians that do this btw d2g.
>>486914990nta but it's informal and the goy posting the image is an autist
>>486915250English doesn't have formality based rules, incorrect answer. A second is perfectly fine, you just don't speak English with anybody from an English-speaking country so you have no fucking idea brown ass Indian vishrapestThis is why they shit talk me so bad they want English practice
>>486915408you have the assburger my frienderino
>>486915408wrong. it's the same as people thinking should've is actually should of not should have. its just wrong
>>486915494Do not redeem saar
>>486892120My cute wife Shendelzare Ophanim Semyaza Rhamiel Qaddisin Tatrasiel!
>>486915625Explain why it's wrong. Use technical terminology for the English language. Identify yourself in front of the thread. Your opponent is me, PSG. You are alleging it is an error in diction and "a" cannot mean "per". Is this correct? Do you die on that hill? Post your steam profile, hand picture and response.
>>486915626you're literally pretending to be retarded for le ebin trolling if you're from an english speaking cunt tree.
>>486915837it's supposed to be "mana to a second", or "mana per second".
>mana to a secondesl indeed
Breh the stomach just won't calm down I have become possessed by RTZI fear I will stain my gamer chair like this
>>486914238Riot Games is already making their own Deadlock clone, which confirms that it has plenty of potential to be a big esports title, Valve is not going to cancel it>Dota will double in strengthholy plantation nigger copium, Dota 2's peak playercount was in 6.88, since 7.00 it's been slowly but surely going down and will never go back to its former glory, especially not with Valve heavily reducing the amount of content the game receives per year in these last few years as well as kneecapping TI prizepools
>>486916167>it's supposed to be "mana to a second",???????Holy shit you're ESL bad but that's not what we were talking about, explain why "a second" is wrong
>>486916572it's not wrong

Which female hero should I draw next? 69 auto wins.
Let valve cook
>>486917620Pugna
>>486907838Deadlock is dead on drop. It's not going to be what icefrog expect. She really have no friends to tell her no.
>>486917620Draw riko drawing enchantress.
>>486917620draw bloodseeker but like a girl
>>486917862Female hero pls, anon san.
>>48691799696 is close!
>>486917432this is a totally normal post and not coming from an unhinged person
someone post door vs psg

>>486917992Keep coping Sean Vanaman, you will always be Bruno Carlucci's lackey and will never accomplish even a fraction of what Abdul Ismail has in your life, you are nothing but a soiboy faggot whose literal we wuz kangz game got canned when Gaben purchased your dogshit-ass company Campo Santo
>>486918262>Not coming from>ing>Indian speech patternI thought I told you to fuck off, paki?

>>486919431>>486919331I can speak your language too https://voca.ro/1gG7AyvMqNm0
>>486918959That's icefrog greatest disguise. She is smart enough to create this fiction person. Abdul Ismail. Only a woman will create dota and hide her identity for her own safety. She probably used to ran a lanshop for dota and cs. And understood the gamers by making money off them. Just like how She is making money off the paypigs in dota2 now.
I can assure this general would be x10 better if PSG was range banned.
>>486919947>IWhomst?
>>486919135are the pakis in the room with you now?
ti1 and ti2 games are pure kinohow did we fall so far
>>486919549I'm White, unlike amerigolems.
>>486919947You don't hadda worry about that I'm prob fixing to leave for a while, game is very unsatisfying to play
Why did valve make roshan completely impossible to do before 10 minutes
>>486920920because level 1 meme rosh comps were getting out of hand.
>>486919615Nice larp faggot, it's well-known by now that IceFrog's real name is Abdul Ismail thanks to the Valve vs. Blizzard court documents
>>486920920because lvl 1 rosh is lame.>hurr 1 hero starts at lvl 5 or everyone on one team starts at lvl 2
>>486921640What if it was just a stand in name.
>name is niggardlyniggard>get muted for the rest of the match even though i haven't said a single wordlol
>>486921640You should know by now that icefrog is smarter than most people. Why will she go, if she is anonymous, who is going to say that's not icefrog. And how will you know? She get some guy to stand in, make him sign a non disclosure, pay him off with a 3rd party or via a LLC. She now creates a illusion, forever hidden.
>>486922691All publicly available evidence such as court documents and the testimonies of former Valve/S2 Games employees points towards IceFrog being Abdul Ismail and not a woman, if you have any contradictory evidence then post it, otherwise you're just a larping faggot shill paid by Sean Vanaman to muddy the waters because he's buttmad about Deadlock
>>486924003schizo
>>486924149I accept your concession, Sean Vanaman. Keep seething that your fellow employees would rather work on Deadlock instead of Nudogturd 2 which has been ruined to shit since you and Bruno took over in 2018 because unlike Abdul, you niggerfaggots know fuck all about good game design.
>have to remote access Dota 2 to my mom to clear Dragon Chess
>>486924003Firstly, not going to argue about why I know icefrog is a woman. Secondly, who the fuck are you bantering about. I'm a nobody.
How the fuck do you get high scores on Dota Bejeweld and Ikaruga of the ancients?
>>486925082Yes you're a nobody, you're some random chucklefuck shill paid by Sean Vanaman who refuses to post any evidence for the outrageous claim of IceFrog being a woman
>>486925437just focus on getting 5+ matches with the purple pieces. nether swap turns pieces of one color into pieces of another color, which means a single nether swap could chain you into a 50k+ point combo
>>486925437for ikaruga, literallly the only thing that matters is maintaining the combo so all you can do is keep playing until you memorize the enemy spawn positions
it is well known that IceFrog is Bruno, he changed legally his name to Abdul Ismail just to keep the mysticism around it
>>486926638I still 100% believe this is the case.My arguments.>Most Dota 2 personalities around TI2 claimed to have met IcefrogWhat I believe happened>2GD meets Icefrog and sits down to talk, discovers he's actually pretty funny and charismatic>Convinces him to be in front of the camera and just call himself BrunoIt's something 2GD would think up, he's that kinda guy.>Bruno's Reddit account is from ~2007... and is named "IceX">Bruno has openly talked about loving mangos before mango was ever added>During the TI4 EUhub, chatters asked what his history was and he just made up some random fantasy story about running from the mafia instead of giving a real answer>Several times community members just shooting the shit have openly referred to Bruno as Icefrog then realizing the slip quickly played it off as a jokeIt's real.
>rtz flatline>puppey flatline>kuroky flatline>33, quinn and sneyking left to fight it outIf ti is another weu club finals dota is officially dead.
>>486926638>>486927671Fake, icefrog is smart. From the mind of the person who created heroes like phantom Lancer, manta style, rikimaru, TA and PA. You truly think she wouldn't use illusions in real life to throw idiots off.
I am Icefrog.
>>486929258Do better.
Stun duration are all fixed at seconds1 str = 1% stun duration reduction, caps at 95%
>>486929258I need you to gut mobility and stats gain across the board, increase all cc duration, and make nukes actually hurt people again.Also delete pango.
>>486930703this but also slow reduction for agility and mana cost reduction for int
>>486930703congrats on the worst post and suggestion ever made since 'techies was a good boy bring him back he dindu nuffin'
>>486930703Yeah and passive dodge on agi and cdr on int.
i've ran into more smurfs this week than i have the past 5 monthswhat happened to valve banning people for smurfing?
how do i get a gf like ephey
Shadow Demon's Disruption now banishes your hero to the Demon World like in Animal Crossing but its the demon world
>>486933249Lol smurfs are only in ancient and divine i seen know so many immortals that just enjoy the games in divine and ancient more because of the immortal draft
why do people buy immortal accounts
>>486935073buy one from her father

>>486937667>tiny doesn't get banned>at least he's on my team>goes 2/16 then abandons
League is better than Dota for the simple fact that in League you actually get to interact with the opponent you're facing and it's not just the two of you doing denies and just leaving to go farm camps after you're done with the wave.Every single creep in a Challenger ELO matchup is contested, every single move can be a feint, every single step can mean that the other guy will flash and do a quick combo to rape your ass back into Valhalla.Meanwhile in Dota you have: hard carry farms lane, hard carry goes do his jungle camps. Enemy team appears botlane/toplane, hc uses gate and goes to the other side of the map to farm some more camps, repeat that for 60 minutes.Barely any real interaction. What a gay game.
>>486936282>he cant hit a 20 min treads -> bfury -> gf timing
sex with hoodwink
Dota 2 is a meme for the simple reason that the kick you get from winning a game is no better than watching a movie or eating a meal.Games are the same everywhere you play (except if you decide to visit some Herald shithole). Matchmaking has made sure of this. You will see all your favorite heroes plus some new players were the games won't be so great. You will be playing to catch up and still feel you missed a ton.Dota 2 is a religious experience at best. You will long for the shit that you planned to see. In real life though it won't be so great. Those awesome YouTube videos that were taken from specific angles to entice you are nowhere to be seen. You are stuck with mediocrity and your now delusional mind that has high expectations.The greatest thing you will get is boasting to your friends and relatives that now thing you are some kind of pro player while you sob inside for the time wasted.The matter of fact is that in your near vicinity there are far greater games to play, which you haven't even considered playing. You can get there in a click in few seconds and still feel that you are playing another game. You won't do this though because you fell for the meme of Dota 2.If you are miserable playing Dota 2in your own rankyou will be miserable at Immortal. It's never about the rank. It's about you trying to escape from your own self. And you will fail time and time again. Just ask all those douchebags that reached immortal the world only to find out the whole thing was meaningless.
>nightstalker offlane>is american>has no balls>never initiates>dies to any carry past 30 minutesWhy is this trope so common?
Been looking for game-dev platform options guaranteeing a built-in multiplayer audience, and I read-up on the Arcade dev protest from a couple years back that enumerated a list of what seem like egregious pain-points to deal with for both devs and (more importantly) players.https://fcalife.github.io/fixthelobbies/I'm curious if many (or any) of those were addressed and fixed, as I don't want to put my efforts into a platform that's on its way out. I know DOTA2 is still very popular, but I'm under the impression the vast majority of daily players are playing the MOBA part.
What If Valve Made A Soulslike Instead Or Licensed The Dota IP To FromSoft?
>>486940740Oh, to be clear, this idea would be a passion project. Don't care about money (I know about the de-monetization stuff.)

>we get megas by 27 min>cores think it's a good idea to farm against tony, LS, oracle and not end immediately>lose 30 min laterI want to strangle every single retard that picks core and just afk farms not knowing power spike timings or how impactful heroes are at what stage of the game. It's not even account buyers, the people playing core roles have no fucking game sense beyond farming.

>>486951341Only a fraction of the suffering that the Palestinian people have endured.
>>486943124Elden Ring made 800m+ since 2022, dota made 870m+ since 2013. Elden Ring is very well made game. Dota is still a work in progress, but icefrog is on the right path, facet, new maps, she just need a bit more. Dota will be the first MOBA in Olympics.
Aw man the games start 2 hours later today, I woke up for nothing
>>486955014Elden Ring is honestly awful and i don't get how millions of people get memed into finding DUDE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DIE 200 TIMES PER BOSS TO LEARN THEIR MOVESET AND GET 1 ATTACK IN AFTER THEIR AUTISM WHIRLWIND ATTACK funhonestly baffling
>>486957070Dota 2 requires you months before you get good at the game. You don't see the irony huh? It's not because it is easy, it is because it is challenging that is why it is fun.
>>486957070It's called being an addicthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8liPBsUtND4
>>486957367If you get really good at dota you can actually make money off it, if you spend like 200 hours memorizing bosses you get ???? idk a fucking aneurysm i guess
>>486957367Souls games are artificial difficulty. Dota is a skill you master over time.
>>486957541ok now show your hours and winnings
>>486957070i just find enemy mobs to farm while i watch youtube videos, then when i'm overleveled, i go and beat the shit out of the boss in like 4 hits with my ultra greatsword
>>486957070Treating souls games as "le difficult" is the wrong way of playing, I guarantee this anon >>486959275enjoys the game 100 times more than an average retard that just treats it as a boss game where you should hope for the boss to not do the correct moves on 50th attempt
>>486957541>make money off it>like how?>>486957791>Doto is also a game>Doto is also artificially difficultWhat are you even saying???
>>486960051he did not beat the game
>>486916548china and na dying doesn't mattereu is bigger than ever
elden tards really shuffling to justify how dying 5000 times really be the peak of fun
>Your opponent is me, PSG.> Post your steam profile, hand picture and response.kek
>>486960383Imagine there are people who play 50 time on a single hero and still bad at it.
>>486960697>do well with hero as bad player>do crazy shit(relative to regular performance)>do bad with hero as bad player>feed like shit or just exist with 0 contributionnow compare to elden ring>do good>play roll simulator >do bad>play roll simulator but it takes 10x more timeriveting gameplayelden ring wouldn't be such a boring bad game if it gave you some fun tools like the bloodborne dodge
imagine griefing in a 13yo game when you could be playing any other gameif you dont like dota wtf are you doing playing this garbage
>>486961062this game is my lifeif you ruin my life, i ruin your gameit's the only powertrip i have in life
>>486961308just stick a fork into an electric socket insteadthat's one hell of a powertrip if you ask me
>>486961012Elden Ring is fun, 800 million+ worth of fun. With the DLC, it is probably going to over take Dota in revenue.
Marci anon, podrubai stream, zaebal
>>486961549unlikely. dota is at least twice as that. but even if it does, dota revenue is impressive nonetheless
I am going to PLAYYYYYYYY
>>486961549>800million+ worth of funguess how many flies enjoy the taste of shit every day
>>486961987dota 2 revenue in the past 11 years is great, 870m is a lot. I'm just saying Elden Ring within 2 years made 800m, there's a good reason for it.
>>486960231eu (russia)
>>486961457ba dum tss
>>486960231>eu is bigger than everbig if true
I hope they skip whatever letter patch they have planned and go straight to a real one, I feel there's too many facets and innates that need flat-out changing to be wasting time on trying to balance them through minor changes
>>486962250yes russia and the rest of cis is part of the continent europe u fucking retard
>>486963127big changes only after ti lil bro
>>486963571I don't think so, even with them bringing it forward by a month there's still enough time, also they don't give nearly as much shit about TI as they used to
these 8k players ive been talking to swear that if you can get vlads + drums + AC on Visage before 21 minutes, then you pretty much just win if you 5 man with your teami just dont think that works for getting mmr in my 3k bracket, maybe if you have human beings for teammates then it works, but i think maybe the orchid aghs build is better for getting mmr
The sad part is that Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were great games but then normies got on the internet and had to ruin it like everything else.Err... I mean if Valve made a Dota Souls I would want to play as Bird Samurai!
>>486963154LOL

>>486968110because gelipnir is op and monkey abuses that shitoh and he has a facet that makes him traverse the entire map in like 30 seconds
>>486968110Probably because he's annoying to play against rather than actually being strong I think, he's also a flex pick though I don't know how often he has been support

>>486964717Immortaltrannies dont buy wards, dont tp when u get ganked, dont ping misses, dont rosh, dont smoke, dont take advantage of timings etc. Anyone who pretends the game is playable at higher mmr is either a delusional troon or a pederast jew
Well I don't want Falcons to win but I want GG to lose more and Liquid have proven they're not up to it, at least Crit seems like a nice guy
>>486970882Sh1t is a drug abusing homosexual faggot with no soul
>>486970882I kinda want Falcons to win just because I think it'd be funny for Cr1t to come in first place at another tier 1 major after leaving Shartify, lmao
>>486970882I like falconsI hope they winkino team
>pos 4 picks nyx>all he does is walk back and forth to triangle to press w on creeps>im forced to solo vs morphling weaveryeah i could see this loss from a mile away even though we fucking first blooded the weaver he didnt buy a single fucking sentry and just prioritized his fucking jungling
>>486971676>no soulso just like literally every human on the planet?cool man
>riki pos 4>doesn't contest a single range creep>losewow didnt expect that
>>486973208>esportsing during bloggingmaking my shed
No Liquid stop you can't win
hey its that marci mid faggot
>Final day>Still held in a small hallI was promised unlimited Saudi moneyWhy the fuck is the production so shti?
>beat falcon only to lose 3-0 to gaymengrim
All stuns now last 5 secondsStun reduction capped at 95%1 STR = 0.8% stun duration reduction1 AGI = 0.2% stun duration reductionAll roots & sleep now last 5 seconds1% magic resistance = 1% root/sleep reduction
>>486974137>get's tier 5s and become immune to root and sleep
>>486973907the budget went to ephey
I know we spam campo santo a lot here but morphling being picked as flex/support and baiting the AA counter is peak camposanto
>>486974642>Hero gets changed/released>Meant to be played as core>Epic Campo Santo overtuned them so much that people can just play them as 4 and it's basically a free 4th coreEvery time. Every time.
>>486974621>>486973907Actually the budget went to jenkins costumes
Hope Valve blows this shambolic production out of the waterAll of those sponsors and all you can muster is a shitty hall with a LED stageIt's a shame that the best TI production is wasted on the smallest prizepool in the 2020s
lol Fogged just flat out hating on Pango, he's right to
I know this episodeIm just glad its not TI Quinn will win
>liquid shitting on falcons
>>486975126?? The best TI production was 100% TI6.>Lindsey Sterling dressed as Windranger as the opening>Full actually cool performance for announcing monkey king>Entire drum squad brought in to play for the drafts for the grand finalsTI6 was peak Valve trying.
>>486975126What do you want exactly, who cares what the stage looks like unless you're there, can't even see it during the game
GG FIRST LIQUID SECOND WOOOOOOOOOOOOW WHAT AN ORIGINAL SCRIPTSWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWIm surprised they even allow liquid to get top 3 considering they hate saudi and Insania not only hates them but absolutely despises them for murdering his uncle.
havent followed this game for 4 years, can someone explain what the fuck were valve thinking?no wonder i keep seeing comments about all the pros leaving to league
>>486976180I wish with prize pool going back to TI3 they just reverted this shitshow of a game to that patch as well.
>>486976180People will try to tell you Valve got greedy, but the real answer is that they're just fucking lazy as hell and gave up.The only thing I can say is that at least we still get updates, even if Crownfall is just a glorified cavern crawl.
>>486976180>no wonder i keep seeing comments about all the pros leaving to leaguethis did not happen
>>486976180>all the pros leaving to leagueeven if dota is entering its twilight you dont need to lie
>>48697618014m went to Riyadh Masters insteadschizo
>>486975769It's Iran that killed his uncle thoughTo be fair Saudi and Iran is just both sides of the same autocratic murderous coin
>>486976180The pandemic happened and Valve suddenly had the consciousness to stop the TI battle pass A serious answer would be that Valve ramped up other divisions like the Steam Deck and the development of DeadlockIn a big picture sense, e-sports in general is dying because its not good for their investors who are still hurt by the economic slump made by COVID
ephey crush my balls
where do I use the free 20EUR I got from comrade XI for signing up to his chinese betting website
WHY DOES THIS FUCKING DEATH RECAP NEVER WORK
>>486975637That is how esports slowly die anonNo in-person event implies that the community is so small that even a bingo hall would deny them
>>486977464should have bought dota+
>>486977626the issue isn't what the arena looks like, it's WHEREand saudia arabia is not exactly the most accommodating country when it comes to, literally everything
>>486977626It's still a $5 million tournament, I imagine they knew there wouldn't be much interest though the crowd looked reasonably big yesterday, Birmingham had a nice venue and active crowd
riki crowd, lol
>>486977663i have dota+ u nigger
>Just realized Valve hired Sumichu of all people instead of anyone in the Dota community for their e-sports managerNo wonder e-sports took a nosedive post TI10
>>486977083>Deadlockso valve are just copycats of riot and blizzard now, i feel shame for this company, they were starting trends back in the days, now all their projects is just copying business of their competitors >their investorsthey made 150M of TI2021 compendium, their investors were regular people, who were increasing their spending on entertainment during covid, not the other way around
>>486978310free game no bitching
>>486973208fucking retard dtidn't even get shardi fucking cant
>>486978384Dota was the exception because it was crowdfunded by the audience every yearEvery other e-sport that isn't FGC instantly died post-covid because sponsor money dried upHiring a fucking retard that stopped the crowdfunding model didn't help either
>>486976180deadlock ate dotards lunch
Marci!
>>486976180Pros shit on valve too much so they just cut the entire prize pool because they hated them, not even joking.
its over for falcon
>>486979172>>486976180People have already forgotten, but pros were literally saying that they deserved a bigger cut of the battlepass and calling valve greedy lol. Pretty funny that they did this
>>486979172I don't believe that and I've seen no proof that it's true
>>486979172Pros shat on them because they hired a literal who who's only experience is the shitshow known as GDQ and make her in charge of he entire DPC
.
>>486978904>a fucking retard that stopped the crowdfunding modelwhomst? who should i target my hatred towards?
>>486979380yeah well it's not like there's going to be a notarized statement from valve saying why they stopped it
>>486979903SumichuShe's now running the Tekken FGC scene after getting shitcanned by Valve
>>486979904Then how do you know it's true? Yeah it's possible but I find it far more likely Valve is just moving away from Dota
>>486980054statements from other valve employee(s) saying they quit csgo for the same reasonthey really dont like criticism and WILL abandon the project because of entitlement from players and their corporate culture allows them to do soyeah they're probably moving away from it which is why nobody forced them to continue, both things can be true, killing dota 2 esports and then making deadlock esports have a huge prize pool is a smart move as well
CK has 37% winrate at Riyadh and just below 50% winrate in every dotabuff bracket and 51% winrate on dota2protracker. Is he serious? I can't tell.
>>486980370valve isn't a corporation, retard. it's a small business. corporations let you buy stocks and shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDaJes0T1Ig
>>486980040i dunno, seems like a diversity hire, i doubt they would allow her to make big decisions like removing crowdfunding system from the biggest esports event
>>486980584She was literally in charge of Dota's esports for a significant portionShe might've pitched the removal as free brownie points for the people who still bitch about loot boxes/battle passes
>>486980578Not sure if bait. It's a private corporation which can be just as big as public ones and still has stocks.
>>486980578the only thing stopping them from going public is gaben being alive and in control of the company
Anyone know what Secret are up to? They dropped out of the chinese tournament coming up and didn't bother to even try to qualify for Elite League, seems a bit odd
>balanced, competitive gameTeam Liquid has a extremely low winrate on Dire.
>>486980054>just moving awayseems like just moving away from easy money aswell, their new shit obviously gonna flop like everything else they released the past 10 years
>>486978384deadlock plays way better than anything riot and blizzard made
>>486933249run*
>>486981515I think they have so much money that it's no longer their main focus or perhaps they know something we do not, I wonder how much Crownfall has made them compared to a Battlepass
>>486981760and instead of spending the money on something good (or something that will bring them even more money, like every single other business) they spend it on keeping their staff occupied i guess, almost like they are a pretend company
I dreamt the US presidential election was happening and the candidates could double down like in dota. If you double downed on florida and you win it. You get double the votes, otherwise you lose votes
Wonderful, might as well skip the finals and just give GG the win
>>486982782double down but if they're wrong the enemy candidate can take a shot with a pistol at them from 200m away
Marci fighting Troll there was pretty cool
What a fucking throw callNo rax no rosh
kino
holy fuck
Phew what a hold
>Shitquid
Liquid you retards
glad i decided to watch this matchthat was a butthole clencher for sure
>>486983235they're playing like they're bored retards in legend that just want to fight mid and not do lame objectives
That Marci portrait/set looks too anime.
Lmao another 2nd place for Liquid a total suicide watch for this teamAnd they raped pretty much every team in 20-30minutes, except maybe tundra.
Marci power, and another team falls to the honeypot curse
Liquid will win the doturdbowl. Saudis on suicidewatch

>>486984516Not even the threat of being turned into a Saudi prince's plaything was enough
time to turn this shit off lol GG is going to win congrats to quinn and the crew
>>486984516>Auras are meta again>Ammar refuses to buy auras
Holy fuck Ammar was literally useless in that last teamfightBlinked into macropyre then died without doing anything
>>486984412It's a fixed schedule so it should be

why are these retards all dressed like they're in dick tracy

>>486984728To be fair shitter should be the one buying auras on that team considering how he gets carried every game.
heres your mid bro hf
I'd like to crush ephey's key if you know what I mean bros
>>486985884If you have problem with innovative meta I suggest you go play LoL
>>486986468its 15 min he hasnt pressed ulti and the enemy ta is 5 levels higher
>>486984863They are in saudi pretty sure ephey had a dress on that showed her legs and tats and she was booted off lmao they are not playing over there
does he look like quinn
>>486986613I didn't think of that but you're probably right. It's such a massive nerf for her it can't be voluntary.

Dota's world started dark and mysterious and then Valve turned it into "LOL YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO GO INTO A DUNGEON ISN'T THAT FUNNY?" type shit. It's like they wrote TF2 and just decided to make the rest of their games like that. Not a surprise considering the guy who wrote Half Life left the company out of frustration.An even bigger shame because Artifact was supposed to be the opposite of this but of course it bombed.

dota 2?more like stompa 2.every single game is one side completely stomping the other, it feels like only 1 in 10 games have genuine balanced gameplay.
>>486989706i dunno seems pretty recent but the numbers are sad compare to what i left the game on
>>486990214That's how unranked feels for me but ranked is fine
>>486990339lol its funny how all the org that leave dota always end up crawling back eventually Dota is prestigious
In my life i feel like a ranged creep
>>486990339one thing i remember about r/dota2 is the constant endless whining and begging, maybe this is why valve decided to facilitate the game's demise
how come pros never pick Axe?i think he is a really strong hero fundamentally
>>486991092He was getting picked a lot and then got nerfed hard so it put people off, he probably also does vibe well with the current hero picks either
>>486991459Leoric was picked by Falcons the other day.
>>486991459Meant to cross off AA and WK as they got picked, it's funny how Dreamleague had half as many games but more heroes picked, I guess cause everyone was trying anything

>>486993839But she is the sexiest hero.
>>486993839This bitch getting nerfed back into the stone age
Is high ground still ridiculously difficult to breach even in pro games or is it just a pub problem? I swear the glyph change did fucking nothing, people still want to overdive at 20th minute, die, make the game even, then the opposite team overdives and a game that was supposed to last 30 minutes at best lasts 50.
>>486995213It's still the hardest part which it should be but from what I've seen the games are a lot stompier that it isn't a problem every game, I believe they will make Fort refresh on Tier 4 falling if it hasn't already been refreshed by a barracks though, multiple times I have seen teams go straight for the ancient after the first Tier 3 which probably shows how much they value a lane of racks
>>486995213buy auras you faggot
>>486930703>get 95 str>become nearly stun immunelmao what
This ceremony might be hype if we hadn't seen these teams go against each other a million times already
Why is she so perfect bros?On a side note, I hate Mortred players so much, seems like it's so hard to make that hero not pick up after the second item.
I do not feel invested at all with any of these teams. At least I hope liquid wins so the bald man does the seethe.
Quinn has been chewing gum every time he's on camera
>>486996890>the bald manWho? Boxi seemed like the one with the least hair
>>486996919
>>486996720>Mortredbasedanyway, 2nd item? she seems useless with 4 items. i guess if your mid and carry are that bad at farming, just gank her a few times, bro

So with GG win we can all agree Peruvians are the best at dota?
remember pgl wallacha finals, dotards ? good times wasn't it ? right now i feel like I'm watching ti4 finals
So...better luck next game hopefully
>>486999286some valve employee on a power trip
Sumichu only worked at valve for months iirc
>>487001921She got a pity position after internet trolls did a heckin sexism on her for that TI.
>be dotard>pick aura dotamon>build aura items to go with your aura dotamon>winDotards, explain youreselfes right now
Why aren't gaimin slowing down rather than going aggressive like at min18?
>>487002038For months. Valve doesn't keep useless people around. In effect, I'm certain that she was hired for her connections and then they turned out to not be that useful to valve. She has no actual worth as a developer or anything, but she has very valuable connections
>>487002169it only works if you have competent teammates
>>487002169Auras are based.
>>487002221because unlike inbreds in pubs they know that aegis and 5k gold advantage = nobody can do shit
>>487002169this is how dota used to be. dts would early game push with beastmaster all the time, and the chinese were good enough to not feed and stop meme pushes to go late gamebasically, skill issuepick decent lanes and heroes with creep clearing abilities. protect ur carry.
>>487002169valve should do an experiment not updating dota for a whole year. then you'll never see either gaymen or shitquids in the finals ever again
>>487002169>>487002394Does Venge have the only natural friendly aura now? I know they removed it from SB, WK and Beastmaster for some reason. Well I guess CM counts too even if it's global

Luna!
I just wanted to say I love playing this game. It brings back a lot for me. I love the art, sound effects, voicelines, gameplay, and comedy of this game.Whenever I check something or watch something from the community, I always see people showing hate towards this game. It is almost impossible to see a positive comment anymore.I just wanted to say I love this game. I love spending my hard-earned money for supporting it and getting some nice cosmetics.I know there are a lot of people like me in this game. Lovers do not feel they have to share their voice to the community but we also exist.I always support the criticism towards the game but the hate is different.Thank you.
>>487002850Luna, drow's got one but it's pretty trash until very lateThere are facet based ones like enigma's damage reduction or Primal/Windranger's active movespeed ones too
BREAKS BETWEEN GAMES LONGER THAN GAMES ITSELF YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP JUST FUCKING PLAY WHAT THE FUCK EVEN CS DOESNT HAVE BREAKS LIKE THAT AND THEY PLAY ON DEDICATED SERVERS WITHOUT LOBBIES ON DIFFERENT MAPS WITH CHEAT CHECKS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
>>487001665I don't know why these games are so shit. Is gg's playstyle just anesthetic?
man, for some reason, whenever I have to lane against an invoker, he always gets so many fucking denies and last hits against meI can't tell if it's because they're smurfs, if they're just autistically good at CSing with the hero, or whatthe sound his right clicks make really irritate me too. just hearing that sound as he gets a deny just pisses me off, idk why, I can't explain it fuck invoker players, you autistic faggots
>>487004335Sven with shard has an aura on his E as well.
>>487004380They're the definitive aurablob team, and aurablobs are meta again
Oh yeah great let them have Chen again, this will end well
Hmm today i'm gonna give away Chen and Brood
So I will never be able to get the Alleria, Traxex and the Mirana arcanas/personas ever again?
>Techies
Quinn finally going to get BIG money
>>487005002Fuck you entitled piece of shitValve is awesome. END OF STORY
>>487004380they made a concious choice to pick top 20 heroes from the patch to snowball the game. their opponent don't get to play their best dota cuz the lane gets cheesed and then they get deathball'd straight to the throne. anyone who praises their gamestyle should try speedrunning
Tiny Brood makes me lol>>487005002Unless they were marketed as never being available again when they were released there's a chance
>>487004078Needs less clothes
F U C K.Y O U !!
>>487005148>they play to win when money's on the linedon't hate the player
>>487005880oh i hate them. don't you worry
>>487004309>Paypigs>write lengthy textAnon, you know doto used to be good. Until the prize pool is gone, mainly because icefrog got brainfog or some shit. Probably because of covid vaccine.
Let's go Liquid

These tornadoes are on point
i still haven't read sk's new spell
I like that OD Pixel and Fogged are not the grand final guys anymore, OD kind of gets annoying after a while and we’ve all heard fogged talk, Cap and SVG are better as well as sunsfan and synderyn
So nisha just cannot play sand king at all, huh
no but really, how did cap cement himself as the grand finale caster?was it the shitting myself posts?
>>487008247Cap is a snake that literally shits himself. SVG is fine or whatever.
Oh Liquid
>>487008319stab enough backs and you end up front of the line
>>487007038Started on the game a couple months ago.
>>487008247I really don't care for these two.
hey sisters
>it's another gg 3-0 shitquid
Nisha is so fucking bad it’s honestly pathetic how bad at sk he is
>liquid shit losing against invoker 5
>>487008247Cap is the most detestable dota talent after the Tobi cancelling.Either Cap knew Tobi was a creep and was happy to turn a blind eye on it for years, or Tobi was unjustly cancelled and Cap knifed him in the back for the sake of his career. Either way he's a dumpster tier human.Well I guess Durkadurka is worse but nobody gives a shit about that blackhole of "talent"
Any finals involving these stomping teams are awful, can't even count on getting one good game out of them
It happens so often where my cores will shit their pants and desperately try to kill a stacked enemy ancient camp even though it's only been stacked once. They'll ping it and freak out about it when it's only like what, 120 extra gold? Like if it's stacked at least thrice I can maybe understand risking death for it, but why bother if it's any less.
>>487009120Which still prerequisites that all over teams drop to them.The absolute state of dota's pro scene.
>3-0
common liquid-gaymen grand final win trade
Christ, Puppey that was so retarded I actually lol'ed irl.>tong fu, fuck you
Nishas fist game on sandking in his life
All of this started when they tried to go high ground with a tower still up in mid, also i don't know how much sense it makes to pick sand king against shadow demon in that lane.
>>487010078Shadow fiend.SF was last picked.
>>487008425>>487008690>>487009354I like SVG analysis mostly, I think it’s the best analysis to listen to if tuning in. Cap is a dud in retrospect
>>487010213yeah but they picked sk after brew, they actively chose to put that shit midalso it is very funny to note that tiny went complete untouched in draftno pick, no ban from either team
>>487010224I'm probably biased against him because of his diction. Kinda like overacting. Sunsfan is dumb as a box of bricks but I actually like his flavor of useless since he doesn't repeat his canned phrases ad infinitum like lyrical.
>>487009821puppey is low key a racist
Guess GG will be 5 million richer.
>>487010641tiny is actually weak and needs a buff
>>487011219>esports statsIrrelevant
what's liquid's goal heredefend for 30 minutes, lose, tire themselves out for game 3?
>>487008247Cap, please.
just carry harder bro, this is 100% your fault
>attack of the ancients
>Nishit cryingJust come back to Secret you stupid polack
>>487011973truly mentally ill faggotsjust like crystal maiden players

I think gone are the days of small org teams winning these tournaments which will spell the death of the esports dota scene. The same teams being top 3 for years now is a sign of stagnation regardless of winning. Every bracket predictions have the same strong teams win and they turn out right. All the hype gone whether it’s spirit GG, Shartquid, falcons. Soulless dota Tundra was fun to watch this tourney at least.
>>487012790Isn't falcons somewhat new?
>>487008247they're all lucky luminous retired
>>487012790>Soulless dota Tundra was fun to watch this tourney at least.Fuck off.
>>487012790You'd expect the skill of all the top players, let's say in the top 100, to be somewhat similiar
Gaimin gladiator is pretty glad now. Team Liquid trash without miracle. I'm going to sleep. Ain't staying up late for doto no more.
>>487013419I just feel like the game itself is more railroaded and directed so each team feels the same. Covid killed audiences and the game got more procedural. Ammar is actually one of the best recent additions to the pro scene in the last few years

NOT MY WINNER

>>487019797But it was a mega event with so many games and the largest prize pool ever!
BLACKEDbros... we fucking lost to GG for the x time.
i pretty much only interact with dota by watching the big tournaments and mason streams these days, game has been boring for at least 4 years now
>>487019183Why yes, I remember TI4, where 4 games in the semi-finals and finals ended before the 20 minute mark.
>>487019863it was fine until this year
>>487019797saudis are just desperate to diversify their economy

>>487020021not true, /d2g/ legit peaked at TI3 and has been steadily decreasing since then. Think we've more or less bottomed out at this point though.
wouldnt be surprised if no ti sticky this year
TI will have 70k viewers
>>487019863I find it hilarious when nostalgic retards pretend that when the game where you spent 85% of the time farming around a huge empty map was better, the game has never been as complex and overall better than right now.
Quinn my Dota hero.
>>487020883You reveal your own ignorance
I will never understand how lol esports gets so much more attention than dota. Like gameplay and balance quality aside, it's everyone else jobbing to China and Korea each tournament, to the point where SEA in dota has more success than EU in lol.
ok great now put the fucking ringmaster patch out
>>487020883All heroes used to take skill and had their timings and peaks that you had to play around. Now everything is a carry that shits value like its Overthrow deathmatch going on. Its a big BROOOOL meme
>>487019583a true resting angry swedish expression
>>487021305September if Ringmaster is part of Act 4 which it probably is because Imperia isn't actually evil (what a twist)
>>487021347Who would have guessed that a game based on fighting is more interesting than a game based on farming

>>487020021Riyadh wasn't nearly this dead last year. You had actual banter left.
>>487021719But why would you want a broken piece of shit hero insta pick/ban everygame?
>>487022129yes, we agreei really think its the repeated delays of the things we were expecting (ringmaster and balance patch) but getting more featurecreep and non-TI BP instead. the patch only got half decent recently too.
>>487022357My brother in christ the game is already like that after facet patch. Whats the difference
How tall is tsuwunami?
>dogshit team refuses to push when the enemy is dead and just farms their own jungle>we finally start winning>I go afk farm jungle so we loseI really couldnt let my teammates get that MMR
>>487022671The patch is not helping, the production isn't, the delays aren't, but I'm not sure why the games are so fucking bad everybody seems checked out - audience and players both.
>>487022985he isnt
What a stinky tournament from start to finish. 90% of the games ended under 35 minutes.
>>487022671>>487022129I think the biggest issue for me is that you usually know 100% who wins just by looking at the draft. It didn't use to be like this.
>>487023119Because carries as supports is shit.
Just here for Ephey.
what the fuck is a carry?
>>487023960Click on the "carry" tab.
>>487020230Is that who the Arab host guy is??
Just spent 5 minutes completely emptying my bowels in explosive diarrhea and it was more entertaining than that grand finals. Literally had to take a power nap and missed game 2 because it was so tiring.
I can't believe the most interesting match of the tournament was nouns elimination, sad state, had a lot more fun last year, I do not have high hopes for TI which was already bad enough
>>487021195Riot just puts in money into marketing while Valve does zero.Most of the viewership is also Chinese and Korean viewers so they're getting their money's worth.
>>487026257>nouns elimination kek that one was actually fun. weaver carry while troll becomes pos3
inhouse?
>>487026305>Most of the viewership is also Chinese and Korean viewers so they're getting their money's worth.Most of their viewership is chinese bots pumping the Tencent corporations fraudulent ad revenues up, just like the bots playing their games.
>>487021195Riot's main focus has always been marketing their game and brand, while Value just focused on the game itself.
>>487028468>focuses on the game>spent dev time adding candy crush and ikaruga instead of fixing the game that runs like shit, hasn't even bothered to balance out shit even though we've been in the same ungodly brool STR hero meta for months now?????????
>>487023239Just like TI1-3 dota? Soul is back?
>>487030127I remember watching multiple 2 hour games at TI1.
>Nooooooooooo I want to stay farming for 50 minutes and then one shot enemies, Gabenman help meeeeeeee
>>487030626avg duration is 35:50 for TI2 and 3. Later on average is closer to 40 minutes
>Another 3-0 GG/Liquid finalsJesus fucking christ.This is on Falcons and Tundra for choking too.

>>487034720Riydah major has bigger price pool than TI
>>487038704who cares?
Being 100% serious here. There should be a hero like the picture that wears the flag of whatever country the player is from.He could have a body slam skill, that is a short stun and shockwave around the spot. A drop kick that immobilizes your character for a moment but essentially force staffs the enemy away.An irish whip on teammate or enemy that sends them on a charge at a direction (teammates get a stun on theirs if they collide with the enemy.)Ult be a elbow drop. It scales both with range and damage based on highground compared to enemy. If you blink onto the ward spots you'd be at max scaling.Most importantly though your patriot wears whatever flag you are playing from, and has taunts from that country.
>biggest tournament of the year>thread hasn’t reached the bump limitIt’s over

I can't wait for TI to be even more dead.
tfw forced 20>>487041679>>487040263There is not anything exciting about watching pro dota anymore. It's corporate shit sponsored by fucking gambling companies. The minute shit like "bet boom" was allowed it was overNot to mention what has been stated before but you guys don't realize ruins the excitement: the statistical probability that almost no new players are recruited into the scene is 0. So what you have is a base of stable personalities swapped aroundWhat you are watching is advertising, not competition. It's a commercial for the brands sponsoring the teams. Who fucking cares.Give me The Summit or give me nothing. We experienced great great stuff with this game but it's just in the past. It's not interesting anymore. They can't even balance the game right anymore. My idea for guild-based leagues would save Dota 2.

remember terrorblade?
>>487063856Yeah I got his arcana this week on the event, I don't even play carry.
>>487063856Is that a support?
>>487053205please stop griefing
>>487067353he won though so thats a winning strategy :) winning is the only thing that matters and getting carried is valid!
>>487057392dota 1x6 is intresting, but it's not really great if you want to chill out

Terrorblade, whatever happened there.
this game became even more scrubby over the years, omg.you gain tp when you die automatically? enemy mana bars visible? map changes to protect mid and make side lanes static? no roaming allowed. creeps only spawn later? no jungling allowed.. jesus christ
>>487075150jungling from level 1 is objectively bad and making it almost impossible was a good thingif you don't want to play with other people play diablo 2

how to know when to get radiance vs battle fury vs stattik shiv (i cant remember the name of that item)
>>487076996always buy midas because you cannot last hit

i used to be rank ancient now im getting stomped by archons after coming back to dota, wtf has happened
does diffusal still work with AM?
>>487078669Everyone got better and the game got harder
>>487078669dota is always evolving as a game so of course you will get stomped if you take a long ass break
How do you decide when to go agnostic or elitist as invoker?
>>487079331>Everyone got betterthis has ruined vidya in general imo. games are more fun when no one knows how to play and everyone is experimenting and just having fun. the instant a meta is developed, the fun dries up and competitive niggers come in and ruin everything.dota and lol peaked in the early 2010s when you could experiment with retarded meme builds and still have fun without caring about winning or losing. now if you try that, you get reported and thrown into low prio hell. this concept is also what killed rts games and is what is currently killing fps games. something like cod or dota or counterstrike will never truly die off, but you will NEVER go back to the glory days of this genre.
>>487077286Midas is a good item... on Ogre Magi that multicasts it.
>>487080079Yeah but ogre magi players are fucking stupid>they get a midas >afterwards, zero items that can be multicastedvery cool!
>>487080363The only good item to get as Ogre support is guinso, but it is a collateral item, you rush Midas then you get either aether lens or travel, then a shard, depending on the match either guinso or tarrasque.Let's face it, there are not many good items for multicast, if you get dagon, it doesn't hit the same target, at least, I never noticed it hitting the same target, it always splits towards other targets or creeps nearby, I had good experiences with guinso hitting multiple targets.
>>487080785HalberdAbyssalIf you use a force staff on a creep it can multicast on an enemy hero
Anybody know where I can find rips of all the tokens and other Crownfall assets?
Really wish they let me purchase the Traxex arcana/ Alleria and the Mirana persona.I do not believe someone would sell an account for me that had these items and nothing prevents them from reporting the account as stolen afterwards and taking it back because, what the fuck am I going to say, "I bought that account", it's probably prohibited under steam ToS so I'd be fucked either way.

>>487091228Nah it's not that hard. I did in 4 tries.
>>487091228>>487091441just came back to dota. can i get a quick rundown on the event? do i just play the characters to unlock paths? also, act 1 2 or 3?
>>487053205Yasha Kaya AM is kind of a cook.
>>487091681Start at Act 1 unless you want to be super fucking confused.Just play the game and you'll get the tokens you need to progress through the story. Playing different characters makes it faster, but I'm a 3 hero spammer and still breeze through the event because you can trade in tokens to get other tokens.Each Act has a $15 pass you need to buy to unlock some shit. You can collect coins while doing the main quest and if you get 10 coins you can get a discount to halve the price of that $15. It's pointless to buy the pass before the discount. The discount also works on the two arcanas and the chest (bundles, not individual).
>>487091681Play heroes and get tokens associated with them, then use those tokens to progress in the eventThere's a thing both in-event and in-select that tells you what tokens you need to progressas for acts you're best off going through each until you hit the candy shop and then progressing based on what cosmetics you want/whichever has the closest candy bag

once again mr torteshitilini doesn't have a guide for sven pos 5, the most popular support on d2pt
This game would be so much better if all the heroes were hot ladies instead of generic fantasy monsters straight from the unity store.
>>487103316doesnt have one for marci either, but i guess that is not as good as sven.if u dm him he might do it for u though
>>487103316He does have a guide for Seven, the S tier hyper farmer from Valve's next hit game Deadlock.
how do u lose this hard mid to marci
and we've got an inter on our hands because this nigger picks us with the invoker againhecking love dota 2 man
>>487104462voker got his first point into wex at 5, marci can just leap on him and kill him whenever he's near her ramp
>>487107198cold snap forge spirit???? how can u even lose last hits
>>487107343mid marci thrives on ranged dorks with shit ms not respecting/knowing what her power spikes are and being hyper aggressive. the voker probably ate shit because marci hit 2 first, died, then either played scared or retardedly got combo'd over and over. cs at 10 min is like 60 for marci and 30 for the voker. it looks like the latter
>>486957367re-read and try to understand >>486957367dota has you fighting enemies that play by the same rules as you do, which means you have to be faster and smarter to win.ER has you fighting against FFXIV raid bosses, except they never stop attacking and they input read trickshot you when you think you're finally allowed to hit them back. a well designed game would allow you to beat any boss first try, by virtue of having a good enough grasp over the game mechanics.having to learn an enemy's moveset by heart and literally dance to the dev's tune in order to beat them is not good game design, and i genuinely believe half the normies hyping souls games actually gaslit themselves into it because their favorite streamer plays them and they want to be part of the hardcore gamer culture
