I really don't get why you rush to make such shitty threads

>>493568983Probably a /v/irgin tourist.The kids obsessed with making a new thread immediately when the thread hits bump limit, and also turning the thread into a Twitch chat feed are usually kids from /v/.

>>493569369Sucked
>>493568607Awwh, what's the matter, Dotasisters? Did your dead game end up being cucked of having a 30 million dollar prizepool because Dota 2 is so dead that you're only getting 2 million dollars prizepool this year? Is this the reason why Dota pros are whoring themselves to Dubai oil princes so that they can experience getting their face shat on just to make a living? Kinda sad when you think about it.

>no white dota streamer other than wagaYOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING MEMASOON WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO RETARDED
>>493569976Shouldn't you get back to eating Prince Ahmed of Dubai's hairy butthole, dotard? He's not going to fund your 30 million dollars prizepool for free you know. Especially when you keep wasting your time seething in this dead game general.
Reminder that all you need are the reserved list cards and Legacy/Vintage is pretty much free to play from that point on.
>>493570901bro i've never seen these artifact cards before...
>>493570901How many Volcanic Islands should I buy for my Ogre Magi build
>>493570901Nobody likes reserved list.
>>493570901>playing the beta version gameyu gi oh is the improved version
>>493571389The Reserved List is basically why MTG is as big as it is today. It's an essential part of the game that adds mystique.
>>493571547t. "investor"
>>493571752Everyone who plays TCGs is an investor because you want the cards to hold value.
>>493572167>implying that's possible with hasbro
>allowing edh to kill your gameDeserved
>teammate picks hoodwink>he's a worthless fucking piece of shithow fix?
>>493572479edh is kino THOUGH
>>493572606Wait for Hoodwink buffs, she's one of the worst heroes in the game right now
>>493570485

2024 TI pricepool is even smaller than last year's?
>>493573104Why is it that people who look like this never enter higher education? Not to call him a retard Bulldog is probably better at Dota than most phd's are at their specialization but there were tons of this phenotype in my schools until high school were they entered construction school or something similar.
>>493575119valve realized no one actaully cares about pro dota and they could keep the remaining 25% cut by making a separate battlepass
>>493575185He's pretty much set for life with the money he made streaming. Akke went into tech and app development I think.
What happened to Zyori? I know he went into some NFT game company but he just disappeared from the internet, at least seemingly.
Challenge: can you guess the hero just from the silhouette?
>>493575750DO NOT google zyori's instagram
>be disruptor>glimpste the AM back to fountain that just TPed>see some russian words afterwardsheh
Some good games tomorrow>>493575952Tide, Ursa, FV, NS, Sven, Puck, OD, SS, Viper, Lesh, Slardar, Doom, Necro, WD, WR, DK
>>493575952tide ursa fv ns sven puck od ss me orine lesh slardar doom necro wd wr dk
i don't recognize anyone from any teamwhat happened to zfreek? i thought he played for nouns
>>493575952Why is Sven the only one facing the other direction?
>pos 4 picks mirana>lose mmrWhy do they keep picking this garbage hero?
>>49357679370% winrate in TI, but as pos1.
>>493576283fatfuck is long gone
what a dumb overwatch cases. Feels like a total waste of time. 3 retards running after each other
>pick viper>winwhy even play, game is that easy
>>4935767933rd worldies get a massive dopamine rush from landing LE EPIK LONG RANGE ARROW and use that as justification for being a useless piece of shit for the other 30 minutes of the game
>>493576149>these games are tomorrow already>no crowd>no venue>no fucking nothinghow did it happen that fucking cs tournaments which also have only fucking 3 days of crowd since 2014 generate more hypewe are unironically regressing so hard in every part of entertainment, tournaments, video games, moviesfeels like technology is regressing too with the fucktarded EU laws about plastic bottles when 30 years ago you could drink from glass bottles
>SD is my favourite heroI sure hope IceFraud won't nerf him too much after TI.
>>493578798Twice this week I've had the enemy team pick Spectre into SD. Why are cores so bad at drafting they should not be allowed to go second
Every single russian deserves to die painfully in their retarded faggot war
>>493579297t. hohol
whos the most unhinged dota pro? my hots boys have a hardcore maga grifter https://x.com/akafacehots
>>493579297Every single midas abuser I ran into was Russian or some slav variant there's really no way to tell. I wholeheartedly agree everything east of Germany needs to be nuked.
Fellow dotards, how does one even set up hotkeys for micro characters such as Chen or Arc Warden? There aren't enough buttons on my fecking keyboard to switch between this unit and that. Every key is already bound to something else. What gives?
>>493579885isn't that basically what bone7 is?
>>493580041do you have a 10 key keyboard or somethingeven for the small mouse/keyboard things you can just bind things to a different layer that you access by pressing/holding a certain button
>>493579629theres literally no difference
>>493580041One key for you, one for everything, one for everything except you, one you set with ctrl+(numeral) for fast access.
>pick visage>winwhen will this change
>>493579242People do that a lot. Spectre, PA, Omniknight, Necrophos, Monkey King, etc.It's pretty weird. Why pick PA into SD? I get Aghs you're a melee creep.
>>493580732sd doesn't break anymore
>>493580932His Aghs makes his Ult apply Break. x2 charges, 6 seconds each.
>>493576601he's about to 1v15 all of the other heroes
>>493580932you guys make me feel smart
>>493581960Those are the Dotards picking PA into SD and are confused when their hero can't crit anymore.
Permanent stat stealing is so fucking stupid. Why does Slark HAVE to steal 1 agility permanently per kill? Just make it temporary and jack up the temporary stat stealing to make up for it.
since when can an sd farm an aghs before the game ends?
>>493582121It's iconic for Silencer but everyone has so much mana and items give so many stats that it doesn't even matter anymore.
>>493582290Hero can actually farm well, it's just that his role (pos5 most of the time) doesn't give him farm priority.Even if he gets Aghs at minute 30, that's still sets a time limit for you to get a win with a hero like PA because the second he finishes Aghs you have to insta kill him in every future fight or you're literally a melee creep.
>>493582323Man, I miss that UI so much. I forgot how hard they worked to make it look as close to Warcraft 3's perspective as possible for the purists.
>>493580041Just press tab you retard
>>493582604There were nice overlay cosmetics for it too, I liked one with leaves and vines and stuff that looked like Warcraft III Night Elf UI.Now it's useless.
>>493582290Not only are you great at clearing camps you're also great at stacking them.
>>493582604The game - like everything else - is soulless now.
Is Dagon worth getting on Earth Spirit vs Tanky heroes? I have a hard time securing kills with him vs tanks, even magnetize doesnt seem to help
>>493582085Those are the dotards telling you to purge Luna for Focus Fire lmao
>>493583891Don't remind me...
>>493583218there's no such thing as a soul, anon. everything that humanity once ascribed to a 'soul', such as personality or consciousness, can be altered through the use of drugs or selective destruction of the brain. the reason why you use a nebulous term like "soul" to describe something you enjoy (or in this case, once enjoyed) is because you don't know what you like about it.
>>493584204fuck off satan
>>493582290Farm heroes.
>third game in a row ruined by russiansWhy are these """people""" allowed to play?
>>493585907They're the majority of the playerbase.
I'm listening to wonder wall.
I'm listening to Wonder Wheel.
Drow hero when?
>>493586117If all russians were banned the playerbase would increase since there wouldn't be any russians to ruin the game for humans.
when did winning lane become more important than everything else?
>>493587993>Missed out on her and WR's Arcana>Gaben won't let me buy it>I will never have either of themMy account is bricked.
>>493588120Unfortunately all the other slavs and balkans would still exist. And turks too.
>>493588283It's apparently so important that everyone is picking pos4 Sniper to win lane while he has 20% winrate in TI so far.
>>493588361Be happy. Arcanas ruin a hero by changing their ingame portrait and giving them a different hero model. They are essentially pay to win and should be removed from the game
>>493588283This is a genuine case of the playerbase being better now.There isn't a particular change of patch you can point to for this. It's just that a strong start inherently snowballs into a strong everything else.
>>493588554They're effectively remodels for old heroes. WR's base hero model looks like shit but she'll never get a remodel because of the Arcana.Same for QoP, or Mirana and the Persona.
>>493588554I don't see how it's pay to win ro have a different model. Everything else is still the same.
>>493588816>small invoker model >a literar dog crystal maiden >in game portraits that change and confuse players
>>493588816>>493589019
>>493589019>patch every 5 days that's 100 pages long that drastically alter every hero in the game and every item in the game>"wtf the models are confusing"
>>493589309It just breaks a fundamental game design rule that they change the ingame feel of a hero in fundamental ways.They should instead have released a second frozen dog hero. Not an arcana
>>493589245>people still use the 'free game' excuse whenever someone criticizes a f2p gamei hope one day people will understand that f2p is a business model and not a charity
Take me back, dotards...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k6HDyUDhrY
>people say icefrog stopped balancing dota>deadlock is the literally the same tanky regen bullshit endless brool?????????
>>493591284Maybe Icefrog should stop balancing dota
>>493591492as if he was
>>493591284Icefrog isn't balancing Deadslop either.
really i've come to the conclusion that icefrog is just a fucking idiot who inherited something good from neichus
>>493592465w-where is she putting that ward?
>>493592786on a cliff
>>493591284he's half-assing both games at the same timebravo icefrog
>>493592786on the enemy big camp near the offlane
If Slark steals agility and Silencer steals intelligence, who steals strength?
>>49357090is fantasy even a thing this year
>>493576149s h i tformat
>>493595413It's literally the typical double-elimination bracket at this point
>>493594747Undying.
>>493570485i miss grant casting TI pubs>dumb retard casting whatever pubs around whatever tourneybiggest loss imo
>>493595907Is there no hero that steals strength permanently?
>>493596046of course not lolwould be potentially broken sometimespudge gaining strength from your corpse is enough
>>493596046slark also doesnt steal agi permanently
>>493596768He does
desu esports has optimized the level of play to such a degree that it's just not fun to play anymore.the sweet spot for any competitive game is the first 5 or so years. i can see why valve wanted to move on to deadlock.
>>493572167That's not true at all. My friend orders bootleg cards
>>493597820the game was sanitized too much.it is much better to play now for all the five playersbut yeah, competitive got mastered to the point where some teams mastered a few way to plays to the point it's all about what the patch favors the most is it aura deathball or is it str facetank late game tower eater, mid ricers or "sup 3 mid", is it 4p1 and etcand I'm afraid we went back to aura deathball shit again
Exp/gold/streak/assist formulae stop being updated = dead game
