>>499254132is this body even possible
>>499257305i dont need to cope with being a becky. go put your dick in a bucket of silicone
>>499257863It's the gold standard >>499257896Becky stop coping and go to the cosmetic surgeon. Your only value as a woman is being attractive to me.

>>499258134Not very impressive

>>499258536you have a porn addiction, go smell some fresh air
>Liking sexy women with big breasts and curvy shapes is porn addictionI'm sorry Becky but loli garbage isn't socially acceptable anymore and never should have been. Thankfully for you having the body of an infant is optional these days. You can also look like a real woman by just visiting your local cosmetic surgeon.
i have mental illness
>>499258897i have many
>>499258865sorry but im normal. not a plastic person, nor a babyi hope you can save enough money to buy one of those chinese sex robots you desire
>>499259117You're an underdeveloped woman Becky. Low value. If you don't act fast your best years will be behind you and you'll be alone forever. Nobody likes a milf without curves.

>>499259369good luck anon, hope you get decent teammates
>>499259371Lmao. Losers in their mom's basements maybe. Probably the same guys who jerk off to lolishit
>>499259601and what are you if not that?
>>499259703Nice try Becky. I'm a happy man a job and my own house.
>>499259934but without a fuck doll. how sad for a man like you
>>499260057My gf isn't too bad
>>499260172yea? did you pump her up with enough plastics yet?
>>499260326No. She's big enough without that. And I love her inspite of the fact that she's not the ideal woman. But if she ever so much as hints about wanting a boob job I'll have her booked for next morning.
>>499260483>he settled for a fat onei see
>>499260675Becky you can do better than intentionally misinterpreting me. You know what I meant with big.
>>499260796you dont get that kind of "big" naturally
>>499260675what is wrong with settling for a fat woman?
>>499260943>Big tits are fiction Becky what is this cope?Reading interpretation? I said that she's big enough. Not as big as I'd like. But enough for me.
>>499261221no, if thats what you are into>>499261224theres big tits and theres bimbo tits. nothing natural is bimbo
>>499261476And I think it's pretty obvious that I implied my gf has natural big tits but that I'd have them become bimbo tier the moment she so much as suggests being interested in it.
>>499261803hopefully for her, she never will and is gonna find out how messed up your ideals are
act 4 status?
>>499262038My ideals are perfect as is the bimbo body
>>499262191who?
>>499262316over status?I'm thinking it might be
>>499262229keep your nasty ideals to yourself in the future. thank you
>>499262525Maybe if you hadn't complained about bimbos in the first place I would have Becky. Go skulk in the corner like a good girl now.
>>499263030im glad we have come to an agreement
>>499263030bimbos and (you) are disgusting
>>499261476>no, if thats what you are intoim not into fat women at alli think most skinny women though are whores, unless they are butterfaces or idk, i just think a lot of women have horrible personalities, except usually fat women for some odd reasonthere is a fat woman who is basically in love with me and wants me to move in with her, but idk, im not sexually attracted to her at all really, but i kinda think maybe i could get her to lose weight. it might be good for my mental health to move out of my parents house and in with a girl and just larp as a normal guy my age, i guesssomething is causing me to be consumed with malevolence ever since i quit drinking and Dota 2 is the only thing that really gets my mind off all this negativity i often feel. however im thinking that if i go move to a different state and move in with the fat girl and basically start a relationship with her, then it might be good for me, but idk for certain
>>499264076you cant run from it sadlymaybe you can get her to go jogging with you or something and slowly get her into a gym

someone needs to explain to me right fucking NOW why russians are playing on us east
he won 3 games in a row carrying hard? put 4 retarded niggers in his next team, 2 of which will go afk throughout the match
>>499285949They are evil subhumans that infest every server
>>499285949The people you think are Russians are actually Ukrainians.
>>499286375they have computers in hell?
I don't play dota anymore and just watch pro games once in a while nowadays. Can someone explain the current Requiem of Souls to me? I see it only does negligible damage and a pitiful fear, so is it an important spell at all for SF? I'm pretty sure it can OHKO a hero in the past, like 7+ years ago.
>>499285949Any russian will have at least 200+ ping on any US server. You are most likely playing with Ukranians
>>499286375really?
>>499286375What's the difference?
>russian right wingers blame ukrainians for everything>japanese right wingers blame koreans for everything>american right wingers blame jews for everythinghow pathetic can you guys be

>>499297215They werent.but the rosh pit in the sides were.They should copy deadlock and have it straight in the middle. have the extra side space of the map have an objective to capture in order to summon rosh.

>>499299206Dota is on auto pilot. Valve work force all mostly shifted to Deadlock thats in active development. They are waiting it out to include diretide stuff into Act 4 and then not do anything until perhaps, March next year. where the only update is a blogpost about how stuff in july will get interesting. (the actual next update will be around october next year)

>>499300454great, now I am going to hear "I am a doggie" everytime now
>>499299309Playing against her is sooooooooooooooo FUCKING ANNOYING
>>499299309I never know what to buy when I'm against her as a support if I go glimmer cape, she can still see where I go because her Spectral Dagger gives her vision If I go force staff, then she can catch back up to me because she has fast move speed and free pathing I guess just Euls, like I just Euls her and TP away
https://purgegamers.true.io/g/dota-2-guide/Why doesn't this link work? How do I find a beginner guide. In one of my first games I went sniper and bought 2 hands of midas
>>499301426ye ye, I had some matches were I could kill even 2 cores, so anyone who tried to push alone / deward was ded>>499302065I go Manta / Difusal and my biggest problem is Ghost Scepter so that might help you, (I get Nullifier asap when that happens)
>>499302234His site hasn't worked for ages hence why it's not in the OP anymore, go find his channel, he probably has an updated link somewhere, not that I think he knows what he's talking about half the time but it's better than nothing
>>499302234Based newfriendUse the ingame hero guides and ask here if you have any questions
>>499302580I mostly downloaded Dota because of Deadlock. But should I avoid the new player lobbies? I keep dominating them and it just seems like they are bot matches under a new name.
>>499302481>Ghost Scepterthanks dotard, I never thought of that
>>499302807They are bot matchesPlay a couple of them to get a feel of how to play the game, then queue unranked and get matched with eternal shitters
face it, this game is full on maintenance mode.>tons of bugs>tons of features that remain broke, some even paid.>dogshit matchmaking>runs like shit>frequent connections issues as of late.
Remember guys, griefers do not actually exist. it just means you are titled. It's totally normal for your carry to afk jungle without joining a single fight for 40 minutes straight. It's you who is the problem.You should accommodate to your support aggressively taking last hits in lane because you are the one that is tilted.
>>499302807Theres Co-op bot matches, thats fairly okay to introduce people to the game but hardly counts as practice, more like introduce the mechanics.and then theres new player mode which limits you to pick simple easy heroes.
>queue ranked role queue>10 minutes of confirming match>don't get role queues after the game???????????????????????????????????????
p-p-p-p-patch!?!? ??
I remember when I first started playing, I'd pick Lifestealer and build shit like brown boots, Mask of Madness, Sange, Vlads, Satanic, and I wouldn't disassemble the MoM into Satanic, because I thought stacking the lifesteal from both was strong
>CONFIRMING MATCH...
>>499300157deadlock is like a 99% ready for release game, the early access and invite shenanigans are just marketing
Guardian/Crusader games are fucking funny. Lose all lanes terribly, just keep farming against their 4 core line up until they inevitably fall of because they lack any form of crowd control and throw going high ground
>>499303038yeah but the alternative is going back to dota1 or LoL (lol).
>>499306248>ready for releaseI wouldn't say that, though it does feel like a game in beta rather than alpha with how enjoyable it already is.
>>499297215>>499299090Consider the following.
>Noob lobby herald game>Fun BROOOL all game>Hardstuck autistic herald lobby game>Constant whining, no fighting or roams, may the draft with the hardest statcheck win while we spend game power farming
does reporting enemy players do anything? i like to try and convince my team to mass report someone on their team who is playing too good so their behavior goes down.
>>499308854symmetry sucks dicki miss the dire rosh advantage because even then, radiant had a higher wr
>>499311475yes. if you get reported by enough people, a single game can knock off 1k behavior score.if you get reported too many times within the span of 15 games, you get lpq'd.it's smurf reports that don't do anything lol
have two rosh pits in the river and have roshan walk to the other pit every 5 minutes like now. Have him run through the middle of the lane fuck it, it wouldn't even be the goofiest shit they have done.
now time to take a break from ranked so the fag I've as a friend can seethe
>>499314485>only divine
>>499314485enhorabuena
Just played a game with Mason, he's actually fucking shit
>>499315469mfs using Spanish from Spain for everyone
>>499302065>>499302814Eraly game a ghost sceptor works best, a glimmer or force are okay and let you help someone else if they get jumped. But she's going to carry dust and is going to buy a null eventually. The only real answer is to buy a shadow blade later in the game, when she has no room for dust. Only defensive item that can't be nullified off FOR SOME STUPID REASON. Also the way to play vs a ganking spec is just shadow your other players while they farm lane. The moment spec haunts them/orchids them you jump out and fuck her up. Most spec's either fall for this repeatedly til they lose or get so traumatized that they stop haunting people for the rest of the match.
>>499314485who did you spam to divine?also congrats dotard
>>499321871Invoker, Spectre, Night Stalker (all mid)gank non stop
>Jews paiduhh dotards?
>>499163308>It's only 140 heal per hero,Its 140 heal at the very least, it heals 350 hp at most
>>499328965The dude asked about dealing with tinker in lane, so really it's a lot less than 140 for most of laning stage.
tinker isn't even in the game still
>>499299309this skin looks even better than the arcana but its unavailable. is it possible to get it thru candyworks? is there even a comprehensive list of items in candyworks?

I have not played dota since 2016. How much has the meta changed and is Tinker still a viable mid hero?
>>499344843tinker was removed from the game
>>499344843Dota got timestopped after ti6 and tinker is still one of the best mids.
>>499344843I came back two months ago after stopping when 7.00 came out at the end of 2016 and the game still feels like Dota, but you'll have a massive learning curve. There are lots of new heroes, and every old hero has a lot of new shit, and many of them have been changed on top of that. Tinker has undergone some of the biggest changes, he's mostly played as a support now whose marching machines heal.
Twitch is able to ip ban the entire country of Israel but valve can't ban Russia?

I've lost like 500 mmr because my games are completely filled with braindead retards.like, not even joking. people who dont play their rolepeople who build completely shit items probably because of torte de linipeople who are totally clueless about their hero they are playing. people who actively pick shit heroes because "dude trust me im good"people who get tilted in a death they caused completely by themselves because they just want to BROOOOOOOOOOOOL.No wonder this fucking shit is dead.

how tf are you supposed to gank mid as a pos 4? everytime i go, they're under tower, and i can't just dive under tower so early in the game
>>4993661211. Picking the right moment.You shouldn't leave your pos 3 in shitty situation if you gank + You should have something to contribute while you gank (Stan, Slow, Insanely high burst damage and etc.)2. Notify your mid that you are actually going to gang so that your half-lobotomized retard does something to appear vurnarable in order to lure out enemy mid or so that he overly denies creeps in order to push lane under your tower so that enemy mid is forsed on the river at least.3. Get yourself an observer ward and smokes ofc so that you can both see enemy and approach enemy mid pos without him noticing you till it's too late.That's pretty much it on general stuff, everything else depends on the situation, like you can gank against bottle dependant heroes when they try to go for rune at 6th minute. Or you can always monitor map situation and have a TP at ready when enemy mid dives against your mid.
>>499366121Wait for the enemy to push into your mid's towerBetter yet, don't waste time ganking mid
>>499366121You don't have to kill them. Securing the rune should be your primary objective.

>>499369141Lina. Watch as people in your lane who have a disable, expect you to lead with LSA when they literally set it up for you. I've gone pos4 as Lina and i'll have a dragon knight go breathe fire > poison > breathe fire and ping me for being useless.Oh, also, you can just keep pushing lanes out as her. Not too far so that you feed, but enough that your cores don't have safe lane farm. Just basically take waves before your cores see it and they'll never know you've just been taking their farm the whole time. And just rush Gleipnir after arcane boots and a null talisman.
>>499379179that's not stealth griefing that's just an instant 4 reports

even if antimage has a bad lane, he is supposed to go Battle Fury, right?
>>499385275If AM doesn't have bf by ~17th minute. You lost.
>>499385275Yes.>>499385370It depends.I won a game with a 30 min bfury once. God, it was awful because I had 3 retards but a competent mid so it was 2v8 the whole time. Laning went horribly and the retards wouldn't stop brawling and feeding IN MY LANE everywhere I went, hence the long bfury time. But once I finally got it, the enemy team was incapable of pushing high ground ever again so I just ratted and farmed for 40 more mins (while our mid kept us all afloat by themselves the whole time) and then throned with necro creeps. Second worst game of 2024.Just don't pick AM. I learned my lesson.
>>499386827>I won a game with a 30 min bfury once>it was 2v8 the whole time.I doubt you were one of the 2
>>499385275yes, AM desperately needs something that lets him hit more than a single creep at a time>>499385370middle of the bell curve mentality
>>499389045I already said I was retarded for picking AM. But that lane + following 15 mins was pure hell because my teammates (except our mid, dude was a bro) actively went out of their way to fuck with my last hitting and jungling, and they kept bringing the enemy team with them. If I got 200 gold from a wave, I had to spend 100 on a tp scroll to get to a different lane. Then repeat. Finally finishing that bfury let me clear waves and camps faster than my teammates could follow me. I didn't actually buy 20 tp scrolls (I bought BoTs after :^)))))) ) but you get my point.That was the last time I picked AM but also I kind of gave up on playing pos 1 after that. It's just not fun these days. All that pressure to farm and stay relevant the whole time, but also have to stay out of fights that my teammates are losing because it's inefficient, and then get blamed for the loss when it gets to lategame and you didn't have enough farm. I'd rather play roles that can live with less farm and get to help the team get shit done. I used to like playing pos 1. Wasn't my favourite but I could get in a zone to farm for 30-40 mins straight then walk out of the jungle no problem. Nowadays, with the map and gold changes, I feel like I'm perpetually in a state of panic for no payoff. Can't chill and farm because the game doesn't let me.
im gonna queue aaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>499385275He wants to farm and split push and has zero aoe abilities (That he can use on creeps anyway), but a great auto attack. Yes you nearly always want bfury in 90% of games. Only time you skip it is if your team is absolutely destroying in laning phase then you just got treads vanguard meteor hammer and push to end in under 20 minutes
Why is matchmaking so slow now and it keeps failing to connect peopleSteam charts show we've lost about 100k players in 5 months but we've been up and down between 400k and 500k for the past 5 years. It wasnt this slow before to find a game??

>>499460562where's your wind lace
>>499460819thisI played some Clockwerk recently since he's meta and I think the best way to deal with him is to be able to just stay away from himI remember I laned against a rubick who went brown boots as a starting item and he kept kiting me and I just couldn't get to him, even though I'm pretty sure brown boots starting item is a grief most of the time but it seemed to be working well for him
I pick necro and everyone just buys dagons and hunts me when I ghost shroud it's not heckin FAIR I just want to walk around in fights and hit R what do I do about this i HATE the idea of buying L*nkens
>>499461607This is correct. I play a lot of Clock and if I can't get near you I feel useless and bad, so buy movement speed early. He'll try to jump out of the trees at you so stay on the outside of the lane, and be wary of going for the lotus pool if you don't know where he is. Keep your lane pulled back as much as you can so he doesn't have the space to chase you down, and when the lane creeps start to thin out be ready to run or stun. If he's getting antsy to be useful he might jump on your offlaner when he tries to last hit and there aren't many of your creeps around to soak Battery Assault.

I've noticed that in pro games, a lot of the time the dual lane cores don't start with any regen items, just stat items. They get them shipped out by courier. Is this a good idea?
I really dont understand this matchmaking>play X role>retards feeds>your "performance" drops in said role>the game gives you even MORE retards on your team????????I am 100% sure if you spam a single role, you are bound to lose every game, they want you to have every role ticked.
>>499472354Dunno about 0 starting regen, but starting with only one set of tangos is a good idea. You get at least 80 from bounty runes if it's a 2:2 split and there's no minute 0 rune fight. With a little bit of passive gold, that's enough for another set of tangos or a salve. If there is a rune fight, and there's gonna be one, you'll be glad you have the extra stat items and you'll get enough gold from assists to buy your regen.
Help.

What is your favourite hero and why?
wait is act 4 not out yet?
>>499494673Not the first time they thrashed the lanes and then lost. Defies the received wisdom that if you win the lanes, you can just carry that momentum through the game.
>>499478467>>499479478The real reason that nobody gave you is that a shitton of Chinese pro players got mass banned by Valve a few years because they were caught matchfixing in small tournaments. Basically 322'ing on a national scale. So a lot (but not all) of the competent old and upcoming players were wiped out collectively in one swoop. There's no Chinese scene because it killed itself.
god punished china for killing wings
>>499496928Wasn't that recent? China has been shit for years.
>>499496928banning non westerners from matchfixing is unfair since "getting one over on" other ppl is basically their entire culture
>>499495234Spectre: spooky ghost, can join fights from anywhere and becomes a hyper carry in the late game.

Is curveball Puck worth practiceing? The increased speed on the orb seems like a straight buff.
>>499499412Okay, I even missed some, I scrolled too quickly.They actually won 4/7 in 2021. And they got 2nd place and the rest. Honestly, it's mostly a TI thing. For example, overall China was definitely the strongest region in 2021 but since they only got 2nd place on TI everyone has forgotten about it.
>>499499643Absolutely not
>>499499767Yeah. This is one of those facets where you get a choice of either a strong upgrade or something which has some situational use. You're better off just going for the straight upgrade.
>>4994997092021 dpc was fucked because of covidonly 2 lans

>>499500757okay some t1 tournaments on liquipedia are a bit questionable. but on the other hand they won the two biggest non-ti tournaments. it doesn't really change much.
>>499500904i agree winning the 2 majors that season and the second place at ti give them a better year than mostbut its still not that great, and they were still receiving 4 slots to the majors then

They're not picking off anyone with that line-up so they need to build for long-term broooooling which includes getting BKB and getting useful shit like the Root given by Aghs. Normally I'd go for Orchid first on core NP but in a game like this, Orchid isn't going to get shit done because of ES+Tusk getting in the way 24/7. So the answer is BKB and stats.
>>499506784>Watson got a BKB+Pike and won a huge fight in the time I was typing thisOkay, maybe I was too hasty. Gaimin got a chance.
>>499506784>It's a nice item but it's powercreeped by Gleipnirno, gleipnir is super nerfed. in total it's like>+300g recipe cost>lightning dmg proc nerfed to 140 (mjollnir is stll 180)>dmg/attack speed nerfed>+hp nerfed by like 150 or something
>>499507021None of that matters when the active is an AEO root that can hit people in fog of war while Mjolnir has the weird shitty lightning shield.
>>499507401yes it matters because the use effect is the only thing good about it. it's not even a damage item anymore.
>>499507493>kick dyrachyo because everyone hates him>pick up watson>they hate him too and don't play around himnice team
>>499507897no quote
>>499507493AoE Atos + Maelstrom makes it a decent damage item. The effect alone makes it a good upgrade to an already good AS item.
>>499508020maelstrom is all the damage but only half the priceso half of its cost is the useat best it's half a damage item
>have hoodwink in team>loseto no one's surprisenot even pros can carry that
quinn looks sad :D
>>499508836Despite all the hate from me, Hoodwink still has at the very least 45% winrate. So obviously someone can carry that.
Monkey King is fucking useless.
>>499506892>Gaimin ends up losingNever mind. They definitely lost at draft IMO.But Watson did alright, dude demonstrated he has a clue on how to play so doesn't feel like he's the problem on Gaimin.
>>499509276no they lost when tundra wiped them at rosh
>>499500497Well I am just starting Puck so I figured I'd give it a try because it says it is faster but is barely faster at all so I don't think it is ever worth it.
>>499509482Yeah and Tundra wiped them at Rosh because they outsustained Gaimin's comp. Gaimin understood which is why they desperately went all in on that sheep instead of playing it safe, because they were going for fast pickoffs so they could go for 5v4 instead of 5v5, but it didn't pan out because their comp couldn't do shit. It wasn't the best call to make, but they were already at a disadvantage.
nice tournament dotards

Apparently gunslinger 55 damage talent straight up works on illusions. I haven't done the math but it doesn't seem like it applies reductions either.They're almost able to blow up towers on their own.Is this known?
If you play invoker you better spam that laugh
>>499524789I do, all the way up to my ancient exploding.
>support mag>no melee carrywhy
>>499522593>>499522672O look at it go.*dwoing dwoing dwoing*
>>499522593Do it, best decision I've ever made. Way less niggerfaggot cancer in dota like kat/ksante and you actually have counterplay with the items like black king bar (imagine qss full item but actually good). The fun champs in LoL are not worth putting up with the dogshit balance. Also dota is a monsterchad game so have fun with that, though I hope they add a few more hotgirls with interesting kits.
Dota will never have a kino hero like Ambessa who has a dash after every ability.
>>499527531I believe if she was in Dota she'd actually be balanced but I'm geussing she will just be K'sante 2 for a few years until power krept by next champ.
>>499527447The first time I looked at LoL and saw the heros are not free, I figured the balance must be dogshit. Imagine having interesting heroes like brood but your opponents haven't purchased Axe/Shaker/whatever. They pick LC but neither of the supps on your team have bought SD/Oracle/Omni etc. Doesn't it ruin the ability to create interesting heroes that are inherently balanced by opposing heroes?
>>499528216If you imported her kit 1:1 in Dota she'd be balanced? Never thought about that. I guess it would make sense considering she'd have to account for turn rate.
>>499522593be advised there are very few white people left playing dota. and before anyone replies to me: no, they don't count as white
Uhmm act 4?
>satanic>parkerwho's the best?
>>499530070>nigger still thinks it's EARLY 2025 already
>>499528596items, and the fact she wouldnt have riot balanceing the kit.
>>499531803You keep saying this but no one laughs
>>499532276and you retards keep asking for something won't come this year
i think playing storm spirit is really hardeveryone always targets you with every single disable as soon as you try to zip in and do something
>>499484726Doesn't matter how aware I am that the hook may come any second now, I will get eventually hooked and start tilting because I am a weak bitch like that.
>>499534596Fucking this. I always end up laning against a pudge and get hooked under tower multiple times. I'm not even low rank, I just can't seem to dodge hooks. Generally we win if they don't completely snowball, pudge support seems pretty shit, but it tilts me so hard

>>499495234Sand King, its been my fav since 2015. I remember fighting a sand king in the new player mode or whatever it was called back then and thinking it was the coolest hero ever Since then i became a giant SK fan. he just feels too smooth to play alongside having the coolest voice in the game
Bros... why do the enemies keep saying gg ez? I don't think you should be proud for the fact that you are put into 12 hour total playtime mmr...
>>499544559I just played my first sandking game today, and ageree completely; He feels fantastic to play.
>>499544586Anyone who is playing in noob elo is terrible, I unironicly lose more herald games with some hardstuck retard whineing about some out of date meta rather than no support games with five core.

>>499545749This is a really good WD game. 3 tanky close range cores that maledict can shred and cask can bounce to, and the only hero that can really interrupt Death Ward is Muerta. You don't want to have to hold Concoction to stun WD, and you don't want to have to Doom WD.

What position is Lion? He feels like he's a 5.
dota bros....
Why the fuck did they give huskar a silence
>>499554821both is fine
>>4995548214 preferably, but 5 works. There's not that much difference but Lion is better at laning against carries than offlaners and he really wants to take some farming time and get a quick-ish blink dagger and aether lens.
Why did they give Heroes abilities? Why not just give them 10 item slots?
>>499554010Read closer...
>>4995548214Lion wants selfish items. He's not like a Lich or Disruptor who can play just fine with only supportive items like forcestaff and solar. Lion needs personal power or he's garbage. He also needs xp because level 1 ult cooldown is too long.
>>499555746You can just play ability draft my dude.It's dead as fuck tho because the facets and innates patch ruined ability draft.
>>499555746But to give you a serious answer. It's because everyone then everyone will just have the exact same kit consisting of the 10 best items and we would all be playing carry.
>>499554821I see him every second game as a 2, and never otherwise. I base my win predictions on which team he's on.

>>499554010I made this retard mistake myself months ago when I came back and didn't check to see if Diffusal and Diffusal 2 still had the purge active. The other Anons are secretly laughing at you but I sympathise.
>>499561664it can't be certain whether Valve will give up on Dota 2, but I think Dota 2 has probably like 6 or 7 more years in it
Thinking of importing some Dota sfx to my phone for notifications and shit but I want them to be low key so I can use them in public. But I can't think of any that wouldn't sound obnoxious or obviously from a video game (e.g. squishy noises, explosions, clanging, etc. that I can't use are like 90%+ of the sfx). Do you guys use any Dota sfx for your notifications?
>>499563014no, I dont need to virtue signal to myself that I know dotaif you liked a sound for the simple reason of liking the sound, you would know which one you want

Sorry if this is a retarded question. I was playing against bots practicing farm patterns and Lycan seemingly Helm'd a treant. You can do that? How did he steal a tree?

>>499561559>reported 5 times lmao, I probably report 1 player on average. I will report anyone who played bad in lost games.
>>499570778I report anyone who does poorly and doesn't communicate, or does poorly and communicates vitriolically rather than engaging with the team, or plays deliberately against the team (ie, not backing when we say not to run in 1v5),. So in most ranked games I report about 3 people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr4p7iLsFrAWatching this made me so depressed. Why is Dota so not hype now?
>>499575745>Why is Dota so not hype now?For me it's because everything is just brooling now. There seems to be a tempo that makes the games all so samey.No more jungle tactics, no suicide lane tactics, no tri-lanes, no double-mid, no suicide lane sacrifice, no push line up, no al-in early game line ups, etc.
>>499575967Watching those clips, none of them were from the laning phase. While a diversity in styles and lanes is definitely better, I think one of the main things that's been lost is the way teams fight. In heaps of those clips, teams were playing as 5. They were Roshing as 5, or roaming the jungle as 5, and the fights were over in a split second based on one good decision. It used to be accepted logic that teamfights lasted 20 seconds at absolute most, and often less than 5 seconds. Now there's so much tank and mobility and range and heal and protection that players are more spread out and fights can last more than a minute, and never last less than 10 seconds.

>>499576531the falcons v liquid match i missed last night
>>499563415Yeah, they're on my short list but the happy doe noises sound like something you'd use for girls you'd like hearing from and I don't have many of those. If I assign one to a bro it'd sound gay.The other problem is that as I'm going through the lists, there aren't many that sound like good notification sound material. A lot of them are too loud, or too non-descript so there's no guarantee I'll hear them even if the phone's next to me. Wisp noises are a good example of "I can't tell if my phone went off" camp. I guess being loud and distinct is good game design but bad for phone notifications.>>499563694Having ringtones like that is what makes you a faggot. I cringe whenever somebody has some weird voice clip ringtone ring loudly in public.
>>499575632>Hyperfixiate on meaningless nonsense that wouldnt have changed anything/made the outcome even worse if changed to try to find some way to blame me for things out of my control because your MMR is the only thing going in your life so it must be important and skill based
>>499577906Just say "I suck cocks", you don't need to yap all that.
>>499577906Skeleton King throne taunt music
>>499577998As opposed to your way of fixating on everyone else's choices instead of your own. Loser attitude you have, all I'm saying
>>499576334>Now there's so much tank and mobility and range and heal and protection that players are more spread out and fights can last more than a minuteOh right there's some thing about the observer and streamer being allowed to zoom out a lot as well. It's just an overload of info to my senses and I can't track everything.Fights before you can only see like 2-4 heroes on a non zoomed out screen usually and that makes it exciting as you can't quite tell what the others are doing so it comes more as a surprise as they do amazing stuff.
>>499578560You have been able to zoom out for the longest time, I haven't noticed any change in that at all.
>>499577998>out of my controlWeakling shitter attitude. If you can't win you don't deserve to win. If you don't enter a game knowing you can win and will win, why even play?
>>499577383neat I didn't know it could do that. Does it work on all of them or are there ones it can't affect?

>>499589875I played myself out from about 3k to 6.5k MMR spamming oracle mostly. You are just bad and blame your surroundings for your own failure
>>499589875Oracle is retard proof and saves retards.It enables the safe lane or the mid to actually play. he is incredibly powerful in the right hands, you missing the ult entirely is not the game's fault.

no dota is the best it's ever been
>>499613117That's because there were no drastic changes to the game since 7.33 except for facets and innates.
>>499613894And facets and innates are trash
>>499613117The meta should be a constantly evolving beast. If paper is dominant, scissors teams should be on the rise, and rock teams the next big thing. The trouble is that only one strategy is viable in the current meta because pushing and damage have been overnerfed in favour of sustain, saves, and health.
>>499614347>The meta should be a constantly evolving beastwhich it does, the heroes popular at dacha are different than those at ti>The trouble is that only one strategy is viable in the current meta this is a bad take>pushing and damage have been overnerfed in favour of sustain, saves, and health.yet all heroes die and every game ends by pushing the ancient

>>499616704What's that?
>>499617376a real dead item
>>499617398Feels insane to me that IceFrog brought in a whole bunch of items fairly recently and then just got rid of most of them. What was the point? Meanwhile, I don't think a single item that was introduced with or before Shiva/Armlet had been removed.
>>499618181Was poor mans post armlet? That feels wrong
>>499618181aside from wp they removed hood of defiance and medallion of courageneither of which are recently added itemswhat the fuck are you referring to?
Why is the drafting process now 7 bans, 2 picks, 3 bans, 6 picks, 4 bans, 2 picks? Doesn't that seem deranged to anyone else? What was wrong with the old method?
>>499618540The upgraded one was post-armlet. The base one was made standard on melee heroes. >>499618550Hood I think was the item before Armlet so not that wrong, but also removing Hood was a mistake. I honestly can't even remember what the point of Medallion was.
>>499618727what's the old method?i feel like the ban-pick order has been changed many times. the original order was all bans then all picks
>>499619292Apparently it changed in 7.34. 6 picks in a row is just stupid.
who's our guys?
>>499620041>ruski vs ruskidon't care

In case someone's wondering, Deadlock is very consistently losing players and if this keeps up will be completely empty in two or three months, maybe sooner if cumulative effects start kicking in. Then Dota will only have to survive the initial launch spurt, but with a 3k average concurrent player count this will probably not go well.>a guy who really liked Deadlock but abandoned it after seeing the way Valve treated TI and Dota, and also finding out how tiny Valve actually is from the employee number leaks
i really like the pos 5 meta of standing behind your core and pressing solar crest
How long until they make Feast of Souls reduce soul cost on attack while active, no one is even skilling it
>>499624519It will probably be changed or buffed pretty shortly. This usually happens pretty quickly when an ability is ignored to such a degree.
>>499624519theyll probably nerf something else and buff that
>>499624575funny thing is low ranks will skill it and use it, so the stats probably don't back it up
>>499624847Doesn't matter. Balance changes are overwhelmingly related to performance in the pro scene.
I'm 1 year sober from dota. I have 15k hours and had been playing since 2006.

>>499625461What
>>499621730>is it really that hard to use 1% of that steam money to setup a dedicated dota teamthey did, the team is called pgl
>>499622025Thinking someone is a cunt for saying "ez" ironically after an obviously difficult game and reporting them is absolutely seething and is pathetic.
>>499624519it will get buffed until it's broken then they'll delete it
>>499627234every hit while feast of souls is active generates a soul
>>499627452>soul deduction still happens afterwardsliterally nothing
>>499627591move it to the beginning, shorten the duration
>>499587689Blaming myself for other peoples mistakes wont make the game any more winnable.
>>499628142tilting your team mates is a sure way to lose
What are the best "yeah I'm totally gonna support bro <farms and transitions into a core>" position 4 heroes?>Lina>Willow>EnchantressWho else?

>>499625049anime girls are so cute
>>499628548>girls
>>499628223Getting terrible teammates that make the game unwinnable even if untilted is a sure way to lose
>>499628681remind yourself that your opposition also has terrible players on it and that the forces cancel each other out
spirit vs falcons is live
>>499628758Remind yourself that it really doesnt.Theres no Radiance Butterfly Bristleback or Dragonlance Axe on the enemy team.That kind of creature is almost always on my side.
>>499628967I'm sure you were the feeding retard in someone's game many times
>>499629037Im sure i never build Dragonlance on Axe or Butterfly on Bristleback.
>>499629128you don't have to build stupid items to play like shit, you can also just play like shitif you get teammates that build dragon lance on axe, what does that say about your play?
>>499629189It says that i have shit luck with matchmaking or mayhaps there might be some flag on my account making me get trolls on my team or something.
>>499629548>flag on my account making me get trolls on my teamwhat would be the point of that and how can a system know who's about to troll
>spirit running it down mid with 5 at min 12just like my pubs
>>499629748cinema
>>499628142Blaming yourself for not playing better and carrying will
>>499629650I dont know why valve does the things that it does im not a valve employee as for how the AI could analyze peoples match history and see who builds things like dragonlance axe and who doesnt.Maybe its based on behavior score?(mine is pretty low.)Or maybe i just have poor luck with matchmaking.Who knowsOne thing i do know though is that i do not get teams equally as good as the enemy team.
>>499627234sf is already the best carry in the game
