PSG hereArthur and KRT13 will win.
Top 4 are the games tomorrow, they didn't bother to stick a time to them apparently
worst TI ever
>>493295407I remember hearing Sheever say they will play the games consecutively, "one at a time", so you can't really guarantee a start time for any of them. Though that should mean there should be a known start time for the first game at least.
>>493295773impossible leg position
>>493295784Yeah they do have a time for it but I thought they'd put it in the nice graphic instead of on the website
>>493295984Fair. Graphic intern needs a whipping.
/ourboy/ made it bros
>>493296214You fags made fun of him this entire time, but who's laughing now!?

>>493296214did he finally win against jewish cabal?
>>493296580that shit is even duller than dotaI am convinced once the novelity dies off it's gonna be as dead as artifact
>>493296552i didnt
>>493296214kinda based considering everyone was laughing at him saying that daytrading is a scam etc
>>493297369daytrading isn't a scam it's just a really, really, really, risky way to make generally small amounts of money
>>493296580bros our annual sticky is in jeopardycleary dota 2 is being smothered with a pillow (held by icefrog)
>>493297369most daytraders are scammers.
>>493297369He's visiting and trying to show wealth to people like you will will believe himIf he made money he would've shown it, he can't resist.
>>493295984PGL is a small indy organizer and TI is just a small seasonal tournament, please understand the bare minimum graphical identity and content.
Who's gonna stay on the list when this thing is done
>>493297679this TI barely keeps us dropping off the catalog lolwhat do we need a sticky for
>>493297984Definitely PL and Warlock.

How do you set shit up in dragon chess? It seems completely rng
>>493299318thats cause it isall those highscores are just freaks playing that shit for 30+ times
>>493299389but there must be some sort of trick or insight to setting up 5s on purpose
>>493299318All in on venge
>>493299620insight sureno real trick though that could be describedyou just have to see the board and be able to set up potential 5s by using your cognitive ability and trial+error
>>493299620play a game like that a lot and you'll see the board differently and all at once. it's just like dota or anything
Has BSJ publicly acknowledged that his YouTube channel got hacked yet?

Have a doodle, dotards.
>>493302113thank you drawfriend
>>493301689nohis twitter and discord server got hacked tooi keep checking to see if he's gone online on twitch but he hasn't
>>493302113Oh it was you arguing over Dragonball, figures
>>493302113I love you draw chad. Keep being the only source of hope and activity for this game.
>>493302294Actually no, but that whole Tien discussion reminded me of this request which some anon made a long time ago.
>>493302113THE STRONGEST HUMAN IN DOTALAND
Do the real matches start later tonight or tomorrow?
>>493303930It's in 11 hours although they're hardly real matches, they're just for deciding who is in the upper bracket
>>493297369he gave up daytrading like 2 months ago
What will be "the moment" of this TI?
>>493305918Someone is gonna get outed for cheating in-game or irl (like my bitch wife)
>>493305918
>>493305918The server will crash somehow during the last grandfinal game and everybody will be forced to wait 8 hours for valve to fix it.

How the fuck is witch doctor balanced? Whenever I play against him he just singlehandedly destroys your team
>>493310085Ah you must be PSG.Forget about it being finished.
>>493310159He's balanced by being shit, get good.
>>493310159Pros don't pick him so he's fine :))))
>>493310159Witch doctor is a vision and IQ checkYour team failed it
>>493309090B-but it wasn't meant to be a request for the drawfriends even though i appreciate them>>493309232its the thoughts that count>>493310085it's just my style bro
>>493310354Lol no I'm PSG and I'm in your wallswhy do you have so much ill will, friend? I haven't even posted todayyou have to stop doing this to yourself. one day I won't be here anymore for you to do this with.
>>493312145>one day I won't be here anymore for you to do this with.Please please PLEASE let this day be tomorrow
>>493312257It can be today, friend, it can be right now, you just have to let go of the weird hate in your heart and embrace temperance and forgiveness.Amitabha. May the demons who bind you set you free one day soon.
>>493310159His ult is channeled so you can just stun or silence him.His ult is also physical damage so it will do less damage over time because everybody has more armour. You buy shit like AC and Shiva's and it should counteract his ult for everyone. I don't know how it interacts with damage block because I don't play heroes who buy Crimson Guard, and I usually just kill him outright early.
>>493312494>His ult is also physical damage
>>493312494It does pure damage though
What does psg even stand for
>>493312659>>493312828Oh...I guess they changed it while I took a break. Should've known better than to assume it didn't change.So what, is the answer Pipe then? The pipe magic block should block Pure damage too, right? Even if the magic resistance doesn't work.
>>493313131>The pipe magic block should block Pure damage too, right?
>>493312829Paris Saint germain
so group stages are already over or what? this ti is gonna go by so quick
>The portion of the bracket that includes Upper Bracket Quarterfinals and Lower Bracket Round 1 & 2 is branded as part of The Road to The International>Lower Bracket Round 3 onwards is branded as The International, which will be played on Finals Weekendhahaha what the fuckwhats next, only the Grand Finals is THE INTERNATIONAL?
>>493313772So it's like a billion different useless games with no stakes and then a few games that matters that will be over in an instant?
>>493313681It's the same amount of days as usual, just be thankful there's no retarded week-long breaks this time unlike last year
>>493313196>Pure Damage is a damage type that is not reduced by Armor or Magic Resistance. It is also not amplified by magical damage amplification abilities, fully ignores Armor and Damage Block.RIPWell, I was upfront about not knowing how shit interacts with damage block so can't blame me for not knowing :^)Guess you only stop WD by killing him early then.
When did pipe and crimson become good again? When I played a few months ago it was pretty much grief if you bought them.
>>493314276VisionSaving an interrupt for when he ultsJumping him and killing him first
>Winning on support*Crickets*>Losing on supportYOU PIECE OF SHIT WHERE ARE MY WARDS(there arent any stocked in the shop but... you should just make your own or something there not being any in the store isnt an excuse)WHERE IS MY CC???HELLO SUPPORT WHERE MY HELP???GUYS REPORT SUPPORT!!!!You have been banned from queueing due to excessive reports for 4 hours.Sigh...
>>493314427>play support>don't stack jungle/pull and harass and help in lane insteadWHY ARE YOU NOT PULLING YOU RETARD!>ping and say I'll go pull, 5 seconds later he dies to the enemy team because he didn't play safeWHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING SUPPORT HELP ME!!!There's no winning move.
>>493314398It's an auraspam meta, you get as many auras as possible.
>>493314398Pipe was always good you're just lying about pipe being grief.
>>493314705When I play offlane bought shroud 99% of the time, and on heroes like Centaur you just don't have enough mana for both Crimson and pipe.
doesn't blade mail return death ward damage now and nobody ever uses it
>>493315095It does?
>>493314935>you just don't have enough mana for both Crimson and pipe.uuhhhh but u have infinite mana in nudota?? how u go oom??? lol noob
>>493315095it bypasses blademail, untouchable, return, and a bunch of shit that it probably shouldnt
>>493315095It shouldn't as the damage is sourced from the ward and not WD himself
>>493315095it doesn'tcan't have anything countering precious niggerman
>>493315095Looking at the wiki right now and there's no mention of it in changelogs. The Death Ward itself is a separate invulnerable unit from WD, so any return damage would go to the ward and do nothing. That's why Blademail doesn't work. The only way it'll work the way you describe is if Valve puts in some weird exception (which is possible which is why I checked) or if the ward itself can die (which it doesn't).
Ok but why is Witch Doctor not popular in pro games? He gives a lot of kill potential in the laning phase, late game he has a game winning ultimate, his shards makes him a pain in the ass to kill, he has a big AoE sustain heal which helps a lot with pushes and team fights and a great disable stun.
>>493316005It was the case at one point, hah almost 10 years ago what are the chances, but I don't know why he thinks it has been changed recently, maybe it has, I can't be bothered to test it
>>493316248Even then it was only the bounced damage and not the main target damage, which might as well have been a bug.
>>493316005>>493315771>>493315302>>493315257TEST IT.I swear I saw it work, it was added on purpose.
>>493316753If I'm going to test something right now, it'd be something else I saw. Do it yourself.
>>493316753There, mystery solved
>BKB blocks pure damage>NOT THE HECKIN WHOLESOMERINO WARD OF RAPES YOU IN THE ASSHOLE THOUGHBEITnigger doesn't even have to buy bkb or a talent for it it just pierces it naturallypeak dishonest design
>>493317607hero for epheys
>>493317607>>BKB blocks pure damageNo it doesn't
Lady = Dota 2Ventilator = Facets, RingmasterDoctor = Hopoo GamesYellow Liquid = Midas Bug, "Compendium", TI
>>493317810It does, Death Ward specifically pierces it
>>493317810It does.>Grants bonus magic resistance, debuff immunity, and applies a basic dispel upon cast.>The wielder has pure damage immunity, including from damage reflect sources for the entire duration.Otherwise it wouldn't be able to block shit like Blademail. But if Death Ward does pierce it, that's dumb.
>>493317980hopoo is post midas bug thoughi half expect dota to be pawned off to them, especially given the original risk of rain had the aghs scepter item so they're already aquainted with the gamewhich is frankly more than could be said for campo santo
So is Jenkins a troon now?
sorry dotardsno sticky this year even at playoffs
>>493318007>>493318092>qop ult>lesh diabolic edict>nyx ultI could go on, bkb does not stop pure damage, however many spells that deal pure damage do not pierce magic/debuff immunity and therefore do not damage bkbd unitsDeath ward has always pierced it
>>493318684if it walks like a duck talk like a duck then its probably a duck
>>493318668Valve only hires game devs for games they're working on. Hopoo made RoR2 as a 3rd person FPS like Deadlock so it's clear they hired him for Deadlock.
>>493318845>bkb does not stop pure damageidk what to tell you brother
>>493318845>Death ward has always pierced itYeah because it was Physical damage until 7.34 which was Aug. 2023.
>>493319130>words are more real than reality Go into demo and use qop ult or diabolic edict on a bkbd hero, see how well that little line of text stops the damage
>>493318684probably had some accusations coming he caught wind of early desu
this is why changing bkb was a mistake
>>493318845All those spells pierce debuff immunity, if they didn't have that effect they wouldn't do damage, Omni's Hammer is an example of Pure damage that doesn't pierce BKB, Impetus too
>>493312145>one day I won't be here anymore for you to do this with.Then fucking leave and go ruin the deadlock general already.
>>493319454Thanks for reiterating my post
>>493319330I understand that's how it works. BKB makes the user immune to pure damage. Full stop. Those spells pierce BKB and therefore are exceptions to the rule. This is bad, dishonest game design.
Guy with red hat = ValveOther, bald guy = Dota 2
>>493319579Well you got it backwards, it is not that BKB doesn't stop Pure damage, it is that some spells go through it
i hope Deadlock gets massive cheater problems and it flops
>>493319741>i hope DeadlockYou don't have to hope, it's a Valve product without anti-cheat.And the game is already losing players.
>>493319721I call a spade a spade and I won't budge
>need somethign to watch while i eat dinner >mason bannedwhat the fuck
>spells clearly say it pierces damage immunity>WTF WHY DOES IT PIERCE BKBare you fuckin retards for real. Jesus, these are the people I get matched with.

>>493320051That much is true but he doesn't actually want to discuss the game, he'd rather post shitty AI for attention
>>493320191I'm right, keep crying about it
>>493313772Venue was always empty except for the final day, so yeah next time finals will be the international
>>493320343alright bubba you know what they say about arguing with idiots, winning an argument with an intelligent person is hard, winning one against a retard is impossibleenjoy your hollow "victory" I guess
>>493320343You're not, for what it's worth the BKB changes are exceptionally esoteric so I don't blame you
>>493320459I argue the reality of the game and its mechanics, you argue semantics
>>493320343Are you the same dumbo who posted >>493042598 the other day? Your signature "deal with it" on every post sounds the same.
>>493320293bruh d2g isnt moving on TI day. its over. eat some shitty AI, its good for you. open wideI talk about and post like 99% game related content but you still want to drag my name and accuse every post you don't like of being me regardlessyou don't even make game-related webms or anything (probably can't figure it out or too scared of having your steam name discovered)
Fuck off PSG.

>>493327367who?
>>493321319i think it's about as complicated of a game as Dota, and i think the reason why everyone says Dota isn't getting any new players is because of how complicated it is, so why would they make another game just as complicated as Dota
>>493319825>>493319741I just hate the artistic direction of the game

>>493368110Correct.
will worlds still be hype
>>493370154check these babies out
Why didn't they just have 2 groups of 8 that play round robin with top 4 of each group to upper bracket and bottom 4 to lower bracket? This whole format is completely retarded when you can lose all games in the meme stage, win the bo3 and get upper bracket. Fucking lid TI
>>493370270those tits are handling those nuts well
>>493370270I MEAN HUMAN BREASTISIES
This nigga Jenkins is pretty zesty...
who is this faggot on the right? looks like he's on coke or something>>493370316Their lust for nuts is unmatched.
>>493370272Their reasoning was that with the old group format the games didn't matter, I don't know what they expected though because now the group stage matters even less, hell there's not even an elimination this year
wtf is wrong with the soundnice job PGL
>>493370448what the hell am i reading, how does that make any sense?
I don't think anything will ever match the BTS thru DAC and TI6 era ever again.
Why is it every time Jenkins gets in front of a camera he's further down the faggot pipeline in his presentation, mannerisms and vocabulary?
remembering TI3 with kaci etc makes me tear up :(why did valve ruin the best event
>>493370604i would say someone is grooming him but that nigga wearing air frankensteins LMFAOhe gettin groomed by the diddy of the Dota world. EternalEnvy. That's why he's in Dubai, he makin money sellin another mans butt.
>>493370448That's so stupid, like what the fuck? I have had zero interest in watching this group stage because it literally doesn't matter. The old one was hype as fuck with groups of 10 where 2 teams got eliminated and the meta got time to develop with so many games. Like honestly, they are making an argument that some games on the final day of groups didn't matter (a lot of the time, the final days mattered a fucking lot with teams getting dropped out of TI or not making UB due to losing one game). So now as a counter to this, they make the group stage matter even less with less matches being played and the only match that really matters is one BO3 that you get seeded to based on your group stage.I'm honestly so mad at how stupid they are
>>493370656Things just do come to pass, friend. Dota, as far as video games go, enjoyed a long and unbelievably rich life. A reality is just that the people chiefly in charge of making it special wanted to move on, so now there is a new game.

Sexy dommy mommy drow sorcereress hero when?
this support medusa is tankier than carry medusas I see in pubs
Razor still bad, I wish he wasn't but he is. The magic tank era was at least cool and different.
Liquid play worse when they have aegis
>>493378524You just jinxed it.
>liquid lose aegis in <1 minute twice in the same gameAtrocious map movement and coordination.
I think I'm falling victim to the forced 50% wr. Every game I get griefers or retards. I don't mind losing if It's a close game. But it's just not fun to play respawn simulator cause the opponent has carry lina or zeus or sniper and my team has PL or kotl or some shit. It's just not fun. When I come home from work and play I feel like I wasted 3 hours buyig wards and dusts and smokes just to die and watch the enemy mid go 30-0 against my mid silencer or qop or some shit who bought a linkens against 7 stuns.I think I'm just going to uninstall because I could be doing other things or playing other games. It all started after I moved and had to start playing in Japan or SEA with 110 ping and everybody calling me indo when I flame them. But I'm pretty sure my entire pub is just indos or w/ei'm starting to see why more people watch this game than play it, though not many ppl do either
>>493378601I made a hero concept for a vampire hero a while back and it was basically designed to be bloodstone razor. We should have gotten that instead of Ring Master.Honestly they should just let me make heroes. At least I attempting to add micro heroes.

Going from mid playmaker to being a healbot pos 5 supportcuckold has to be humiliating
>>493378942>4th best team in the world beats all other teams except the top 3wow anon that's so insightful
lol what, she can blink when taking damage because of Safety Bubble?
>>493379104Yeah, you have to lose HP for blink to go on CD, if you have bubble you literally do not lose HP while you have mana.
>Carry cucks still seething that support Chads keep stealing their heroes and playing them better We won't quit till every carry hero has been SUPPORTED
>>493379018I don't think so, because TT wanted to be the captain/shotcaller of his crew. Often the 5 does that.
>>493379104you take like 1% damage through mana shield to health, unless you have the safety bubble which takes the hit before health. Gives the same effect as Refraction, like all other shields but they're all better on Dusa for that reason
>>493379154only in the early gamecarrychads call the shots when it matters
>>493379154ok if he is captaining that is different
is support dusa viable??? icefrog why
>>493379146the support of supports (io) has won a TI as a carrysit downbe humble
>>493379235It simply depends on the team. >>493379324Has been for a while.
>>493379272Is there a single team in TI where the captain is not the 5?
>>493378773if you want to escape forced 50% just keep your behavior score like 7-8k. dont fell for good guy meme. i used to have 11k behavior score and game quality dropped so hard.
>>493379235>carrychadsNo such thing Carrycucks farm in the corner while everyone else has fun. They only get to come out when they're all geared up in their cuckfit
Again they lose with aegis
>>493379382Mind control teams often had him as captain. It was an issue why left his last team. Sometimes, it's the 4 who is the captain as well. Or at least, if not captain, main shotcaller.
>casters call him Saika>plays like shit>casters call him nightfall>carries 1v5Interesting.
should have died without bkb when you realise you cant break link, then bkb after aegis
>>493378967grubby doesnt play enough to find the truth. he was so new to this game but his autistic talent got him immortal rank.
skill requirement goes like this:5 = 1 > 4 = 3 > 2
>>493379570this is what supportsissies actually believe
So who is to blame this time?
LUNA CULO
betboom probably should have disbanded a while back.
What the fuck was that Luna damage HOLY shit>>493379483Oh yeah, I think FY was captain for most of /vg/'s history as well, and I think Quinn is effectively GG's captain.
wtf how did luna do so much damage? they were all bkb'd, it couldn't be ulti

>>493379998>AD
>>493380215I'm 99% sure it's complete garbage, but it might work well against melee heavy teams since you're guaranteed to get stacks and bounce around for massive burst during ulti, specially if you go refresher.>>493380226The stat is literally called Attack Damage, I know it's a LeL term but it works as an abbreviation for us as well.
>>493380164>go mid>shit the bed hard>feed>embarrass yourself>miss every combo>finish 2/11 (two killsteals)>get carried hard by safelane and offlane>"ez mid"
>>493379961>They said it to make you madShouldn't they do that in the middle of the game in an attempt to tilt and gain an advantage? If you do it at the end you gain nothing but risk queuing up with the person as your teammate and them being tilted at best or deciding to throw at worst.
How does betboom keep doing it?
>>493380373People don't just make others mad for pragmatic gain.Making people mad is just fun.
>>493380373Are you an autistic 12yo or something? Why are you so surprised about this? People have been doing/saying this shit for years to make others mad and also to help them cope. At this point it's more like ingrained habit for 99% of them. You can sit there trying to psychoanalyse them like every move they make is intentional and planned but you're wasting your time because most of them aren't actually thinking and are no better than bots in what they do or say.
Would TI be better if the reward was losing your virginity to a 10/10 hotty?
terrorbros... why are we forgotten...
so where's act 4
>>493380440I still think BB is probably the highest skill team in the world individually (except gpk) but they choke completely as a team.Nightfall is amazing, Save is in the Goat conversation for pos 4, BANGKOKBRAZIL is also incredible, but they just don't jell well.>>493380725I don't think there's a single virgin dota 2 pro at TI

you now remember akke chen

>>493381408Luna's a traditional carry. She feels weak early game with no items but with 4-6 items she becomes a beast and a huge threat. Watch how scary she becomes when a pro plays her lategame.The issue with most carries isn't that they're weak early game. That's intentional design. The issue is whether they'll ever make it to the 6-slotted stage and/or whether or not they're worth a damn even after 6 items.

You shouldn't be allowed to buy Blademail if your team's net worth is lower than the enemy's or something. It's not going to help you win anyway. Just an annoying as fuck inconvenience that ultimately won't stop me.

Dota is so boring now, everyone has too much hp, there's too many saves.You are not punished as much as you used before and it's starting to be like league where nobody dies unless you go full in.

>>493389590this is funny to say because dota is still by far the most lethal moba
>>493389728There's only 2 mobas and Dota is turning more and more into league for every patch.

>>493389590it's the mangina effect
>>493390039>>493389598my senile dotard hands clicked the wrong post
ZAI MENTIONED
>>493389958>That is much more interesting to see thanAsk me how I know you never actually watched a TI2 Chinese game without saying you were never there. That shit was boring and tedious as fuck and were the epitome of the Chinese bringing in LoL's no-kill meta into Dota. They would spend 10 minutes farming up 5 BKBs for a T2 push and then when the BKBs run out they just disengage, nobody dies, then they go back to farming new BKBs. It was horrible and the fact that you think it's anything better than what we have now just shows that you're a newkid full of shit. Or even worse, a tourist and not even a real dotard.
>>493390253So it's exactly like now, but with the actual excitement and skills?
I dont like this meta. I dont know what it is. Maybe the unconventional carries and supports. It just doesnt interest me as much as other metas
>>493390509Personally I love it when support chads get to steal all the core cuck heroes.Your heroes are ours to enjoy.And when our heroes are playable as cores we'll be doing it because you cucks are too scared to try anything new.
>>493390138man she looks bad what happened?
>>493390509same
>>493389565Toki owes me babies.
>>493389889I'd much rather watch xiao8's LGD than this
>>493389565asuna please be real and have sex with me
>>493390509Because supports are just cores now, roles feel meaningless. There's too many saves and everyone is tanky so the game is just lots of BROOOOL and doesn't allow for any fun individual play or for individuals to shine.
What if we are the holograms?
>>493391013women who aren't actually pretty like nattea only look good until 23-25 naturally max then they completely lose it all at once
>>493380164>>493379961>>493378257I type dumb shit at the end of the game especially when I got crushed or contributed nothing>ez>all me>commend putos> carried my DOG team 100%if somebody points out my KDR or says I got carried I just say>I know I didn't even have to do shit and I still won this game>>493379104>>493379184>>493381321why is there always a horribly broken neutral item? like a "what were they thiiiiiiinking?" type neutral item? I remember royal jelly was crazy on heroes like ursa. repair kit, essence ring, and clumsy were especially strong IIRC.is safety bubble the new auto-pick item on most heroes?
>Ephey starts talking>*SSSSSSS blabla SSSSS blabla SSSSSSSS*Am I the only one hearing this?
>>493393258I mute the stream every time a woman starts speaking so I don't know.
>>493391013>>493392179she looks fine, just her hair is tied back. versus well styled hair thats like legit a whole point or two/10also.. olive green top and fingernails? not the most stylish
What is this 1W team? Who are these players? What region are they?
>>493392842my favourite are the tier 5 items. they'll never be balanced, because theres just not nearly enough data for them. i mean think about the items like Apex. does it really make a difference if that item gave you 5 more or 5 less or your primary stat versus what it does now? no, so why ever adjust it? the number that it says barely matters unless its pathetically low or absurdly brokenly high. it could be anywhere between 50 to 100 really
why is gleipnir a purchaseable ult
lets go c9 do it for him
>>493392842nah safety is only viable on medusa in the way you'd want to keep it all game long.
>>493393956and fucking sneakers
>1 pro picks Mirana as core>now every pro does the same even if it was never seen beforeI hate pros so much
>>493394346arent they all wearing nikes? i assume the wardrobe is soft-sponsored by nike or something. but yeah she's been wearing sneakers all tournament and i think good sneakers look okay with casual outfits but her current outfit can definitely do with better shoes
can someone explain why this schizo always starts ree'ing whenever ephey is on screenwas it autism?
>>493394486pros buying manta style as a core item 100% of the time on medusa for YEARS when it was never good still kills me inside
>>493394672>>493394486Will this be another TI where the team that DOESN'T blindly following the meta will win again?I swear that pros don't actually deserve to be pros, they have zero imagination and are even worse meta sheep that the average joe.
>>493394223i liked it when it gave you 80% of your main stat
>>493394853I hope so, thats the only time where the game is truly interesting. There are also still a lot of heroes on the table that arent being picked. heroes like OD that a meta-follower wont be accounting for until its last picked and solo carries a big game with no answer to it
>>493395002Yeah I'm just waiting for a team to pick something like Bane mid and then all of a sudden it become first pick/ban for every team.
1win is a terrible name for a team
>>493395000even though stygian desolator gives more armor reduction, it actually gives 20 less damage than a fully charged desolatoralso, necrobook was so problematic for the game designers that they decided to remove it from the game entirely... except you have a random chance to get an item that is basically a level 4/5 necrobook that has 2x creeps. ??? this item is fucking funny to me because the description of the effect of it says "Summons 4 level 3 Necronomicon Units that last 75 seconds. Units have 100% more health and 75% more damage." It literally refers to an item that no longer exists in the game, and instead of just saying what their stats are, it says that they have 100% more hp than level 3 of an item that hasnt existed in the game for years. they legit dont even care
>>493395203And what would you name your team? anon's faggy fetish bait?
I have to root against C9 since theyre region cheaters
>>493395850post moreNOW
All armor reduction items need a buff and they should bring back medallion of courage
>>493396074DK's poison being 0/-1/-2/-3 armor reduction is so fucking pathetic.. look out bros it gets amped to -4.5 when you have level 18 and aghs...
>>493396074>desolator needs a buffhow about fucking no?
16 kills in 30min even tho teams just buy aura/team items, nu-dota is so exciting!
>>493395414gaining 4 summons at min 60 isnt really the same as being able to purchase the item whenever you have the gold
>>493396238>shittiest item in the game needs a buffUh, yeah? When was the last time you saw someone buy a fucking desolator?
>>493396238Yes it does There are ton of neutral items that give supportcuckold free armor and other survivability, desolator is so outdated for everyone that isn't PA
>>493396424>>493396480>herald playersjej
>>493396609Stop projecting, no one buys deso except TA and PA, and even then I seem them skip it just as often as get it because it's that fucking bad.
>>493396774>Stop projecting,lelelele
>>493396424deso has been purchased 7 times at this tiac has been purchased 22 times
why does armor reduction have to be so shit, dotards? is it because towers would drop instantly if it were ever any good?
Yatoro is going to play pos1 invoker you hear it from me first.
>>493396896Because supports would feel bad if they are allowed to be killed :(
>>493396896because dps is high enough already
>>493396896Armor reduction counters the defensive highground meta and the unkillable strength hero meta, so naturally it must be kept bad.
>>493396896pretty muchenjoy your 20 years of design baggage
>>493396828Post mmr.
>Try to pick Snapfire pos4>Accidentally pick Techies, haven't played the hero since 2015>Win in 25 minutesThat was a weird experience.
the bad guys won
Am I getting too old, or does every Dota pro match feel mostly the same??
>>493397483We literally just went from a series where both teams BROOLED all game to one where the winning team just gave the other the run around.
I haven't played Dota 2 since Legion Commander was released, rl reasons.I know the game's been changed a bit and they've outright made new heroes past the originals, but to what degree? Is it the same game?
>>493398065Yes
>>493398065It's closer to League now than it's to the Dota you used to play.
>>493398065there are approximately 100 a4 pages of patch notes between then and now. Huge map changes, huge economy changes, huge system changes. No one has a summary for you. Go read, faggot.
>>493390138of malice
>Ephey starts talkingSSSSSSSSSSSS sssssssss SSSSSSSSS ssssssss
>>493398326Current dota is more unlike league than any previous iteration and I doubt you ever played either.
>>493398514>No one has a summary for youI have, it has been Leaguefied. Less focus on indifidual skill and more about brool/team fight, objectives, insane powercreep, bigger balance issues and bigger focus on following meta because the gap between heroes are bigger, all new heroes are DEI SBI products and game is dying
>>493397483Too many players only play on eu server so they have pretty much the same meta.
They could unironically make a deep run this tourney
>league>brool>when more than 10 kills at 30 minutes is rare in leagueDota has never been less league than it is now.
>>493398552>not muting the tab and queueing for a match as soon as a game endslol noob
>>493399112sometimes you need to hit the buzzword quota
>>493399112Anon the last match had 16 kills in 30min
What is this Universal draft
kinda crazy that noone is the only fat pro dota2 playeryou'd expect more fatties even mind control lost weight
>>493399204Which is rare in dota, there's usually a lot more.It's also rare in league, but instead there's usually less.
>>493399591No it's not, it's the norm in Dota now and why it's getting more and more like League.
>>493399557why would you eat when you could play dota?
>>493399557My goal is to become the first fat Dota 2 pro. Fat people make normalfags seethe so much I want to cause some seething.
>pos1 InvokerWe are in boys.
>>493400013mason already beat you bro
>>493398514>>493398745Oh goodie...I did see map changes at least and didn't like them.
>>493400054Mason became a gymfaggot and is an obnoxious normalfag
>>493398613>Current dota is more unlike league than any previous iteration and I doubt you ever played either.>passives>BROOL>Tank meta>CDR>Spell amp>Unlike leaguelmao the fking cope. the only thing this game has that's unlike league is the fact that it's filled to the brim with Russian/peru subhumans and that we get 1 hero per year instead of 3.
>translator forgot to translate
>enemy has no way to dispel Enfeeble from bane>it's one of the best spells in the game>he doesn't skill itWHY ARE ALL BANE PLAYERS SO RETARDED?
>>493400168mason spends all day playing videogames and browsing /pol/ how is he a normalfag

>>493401975He can ks and assist from the comfort of his home.
>>493401975Bane+ invoker combo, which is dumb because Bane has now maxed out nightmare which is such an useless skill.
Unfortunate angle
really getting tired of this hit & run C9's nigger tactic
>>493401991swedenstrong might be the worst player names of all timetough competition, includes "Matthew" (who the fuck else would name themselves matthew, or think that name is remotely cool, except a peruvian guy not actually named matthew) and "TheVeryFamous.ar3a" yes that whole fucking thing is some egyptian guys username
alright I'm goin to bed, that was rough. Rooting for c9 though, good for them
>>493402584spirit breaker?
>>493401975Idk nigga, the global billion pure damage nuke?worst part about this pick is that now ranked MM is going to be fucking unplayable now with all the people picking invoker pos 1.
>>493402885I'm Swedish and I fucking HATE Swedes Online. They're so fucking obnoxious about being Swedish, the moment a Swede finds out there's another Swede around in any game they will start to exclusively start talking in Swedish, even in general chats even tho they can perfectly well write in English.
Why are all games such fucking stomps?
>>493403083swedenstrong is russian
>>493403083also contains the biggest fucking losers in the history of anything, Loda and his decade+ of trying to cover up balding with monster hats, and admiralbulldog, who only won games because people didnt want to ban natures prophet in ti3 and so he is set for life when only knowing how to play 2 heroes
>>493403109Because the game is such an unbalanced mess right now.Talents, innates, facets, powercreep has all contributed to the game being harder and harder to balance and the gap between strong(meta) heroes and other heroes are bigger than ever.So instead of having fights being about mostly skills, positioning and execution it's now more about a stat check.
>>493403229why the FUCK is a russian named swedenstrong, in all honesty
nice pango ulti dodge with the self sleep
>>493403526Maybe he loves sweden.
>>493403371pretty much this, Dota is a deck building game now, the draft wins the game most of the time
>>493403526Swedes used to rule russia. The Rus were Swedish vikings that ruled over the indigenous people which they called slavs, which means slaves. Modern russians are descendants of a slave people and they inherently know Swedes are their superiors.
>>493403325I don't understand how Bulldog can still have an audience, yes he was entertaining when he first started to stream and actually played ranked and wasn't just a bad Forsen clone.It's the same as early e-celebs or even dota pros, as long as you were part of the early scene it's impossible to fall out no matter how much you suck or how uninteresting you are.
ssssssssssssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssss
noone bros we are so fucking back!
>>493404542plenty of time to relive some virtus chake
>>493404156yes, being the first of something is just too strong to refute, its so fucking bizarre that people in the 2020's still care about something like alliance who havent been relevant in so longif you ever bother to look at their youtube, they would post all these hype/bootcamp vids of their teams hyping up how theyre going to RECLAIM THE AEGIS and they get like no views and then they dont win any tournaments or come even close to it. balding loda and admiralbulldog who does nothing but just farm plebs for twitch bucks are the biggest KWABs, they won TI when literally fucking nobody knew how to play the gameremember early TI's where people were doing shit like rubick mid remember THE PLAY where a top tier team decided it would be a good idea to stack as 5 on top of an enigma that had a BKB? honestly a team of 5k players today could win TI from 11 years ago
>>493404489It's the jordanian accent.
arab women like ephey are so hot imagine if they didn't have to wear veils
sexo sheeverlook at dem titties
stfu psg
>>493404740that argument is pretty stupid, achievements are always relative to time period they were achieved in
>>493404740no fucking shit, with that same logic you can say a team of 5ks 10 years in the future can win TI this year so whats the point of admiring the current pros rn
>>493404876Veils are hot.
>>493404876Ephey would be hotter with a veil than without. The veil hides her ugly shit face. Even better if she wears a hijab, then she would also hide her dried up hair
what happened to the hype
>>493404876do arabs have to buy veil of discord on female heroes?
This general is dead huh

I think the guy who constantly mentions/blames PSG did more damage to this general than anyone else.
>forgot to do my predictions for the group stageFUCKING KILL ME
the game's issues will never be addressed until a total patch rollback
What did they do to Naga that she's perma-banned now?
>>493406413im salty about how forced the facets are. like.. instead of dragon knight getting all his passives for the dragon, you just.. pick one. and it doesnt matter what you pick, it feels bad to miss out on two of the passives. not picking the fire dragon is sad as shit, but also not having the poison for towers feels awfulalso having dragon blood as his innate makes sense, but then your actual passive is just a shit version of your dragon's old passives, on your shit melee hero that cant touch jack shit without transforming into a dragon. why do i hate it so much
insider innouns wins tomorrowinsider out
>>493406721That will never happen. The way to the future for "Dota" is a new game with a dedicated dev team.
>hoodwink nerfed>game diesBuff Hoodwink = alive game
>>493407043you're putting bandaid on a open fracture no matter what, you can't fix 8 years of bullshit with more shit
>>493407153...that's why I said new game
>>493407291we already have deadlock though
>>493407334Deadlock is a hots or league or smite type game, not a Dota type game.
>>493407451nah
>>493407504Doesn't even have individual cs, controllable units or courier. It's streamlined babbygame.
>>493406097Why is the general so dead? other games Im interested in have nowhere near the number of viewers for streams of their big tournaments compared to dota, but their generals are much more active.
>>493407934lmao copeicefrog moved on, deadlock is dota 3
is it really a jav title?
>>493408092why don't you look it up
>>493406539People just needed to ignore PSG in the first place but the Internet pre-disposes people to engage with others because it fills in for actual social interaction while removing any risks, which lets people put on exaggurated personas and use exaggurated language.Like if you see someone you think is retarded, schizophrenic or just wrong, 9 times out of 10 there is basically no point in engaging with them because they're just going to double down because they actually are retarded, they're too invested in what they're talking about or they're just trolling.But, in the case of this general, someone didn't just figure out ignoring or hiding posts, so they bit every single fucking time and when people come to a thread and so much of the discussion is just some mindless bickering back and forth they might just decide not to bother and gradually the general dies.
>>493408009I don't give a rats ass about icefrog, he literally never mattered. He put together mods and the work of hundreds of users and people like eul and guinsoo. One guy even made like seven popular heroes and nobody ever repeats his name i can't even remember itNever fall for the superstar designer fallacy. Games are always made by teams in a certain time and climate. That's why icefrog left to his own devices could not make a good game like dota-- only a simpler one. Btw the chief creator of counterstrike left valve and made some game that nobody has ever once heard of.
>>493408426dead ass cope post did not read
>>493408416The issue isn't PSG. It's multiple people blaming him nonstop like a literal boogeyman. Look where he is referenced above. Which posts are they blaming him for? Can you even tell? I can't.
>4 top @ 4 minBROOOL
I wonder how many Dota players were older and just retired from online gaming on general
there is a distinct LACK of BOOB
>>493408774when was this
I'm really liking deadlock so far. Should I try out Dota 2?
>7e>has 7 e in his namelamo
>>493409390yeah I'm busy playing hots sorrygames were too boring to watch
>>493409503Only if you want a much harder and more merciless game.
>>493409503Dota is basically what Deadlock will be 2-4 years from now. I dare say as a product Dota is in its best (close to final) state right now. So much QoL things there
>>493408426Yeah I never understood the obsession with icefrog It’s clear that most design decisions for dota were community driven
