yooo dawgs just got back, where da fuk is my Black KING Bar???
>>536875351Counter Helix
>>536867178So which team is replacing GG?
>>536877436it rarely spins for me
>>536869861
JUGGERNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUT
>>536877679wildcard tournament
>>536877802It spins after a certain amount of attacks, just aggro more creeps
>>536878582Confirmed or?
>>536878767gaben told me in a dream
>twitch cracks down on viewbots>gorp lost half his viewershipwow guy full of shit turns out to be full of shit
>>536880846He's been at ~7-8k streaming pubs for some time now.https://twitchtracker.com/gorgc/streams#avg-viewers
what is this fantasy bs ? explain to me like im 35y old wagecuck ready to kms
>>536881681big numbers means bigger score means bigger reward
>>536881206yeah cause they announced they will crack down on bots so he gotta dial down to make the decline look more natural
>>536881807is this some casino funnel?
remember in 2013 when you picked PA or Ursa or Jugg you were some russian retard, but if you picked naga or gyro you were Cool
>>536881929When did they announced that?
>>536882615still true today
kinda snapped at my team yesterday and around min20 i had the 'player cannot type or communicate anymore' (it wasn't anything racist or so, just calling my support a useless handicapped freak). I never experienced that before, will I lose lots of behavior score over it?
>>536883338yes
>>536883338Like 200 or something, nothing major
>>536880846who else? I bet wagamama viewbotted for a time backthen
>play turbo>see clockwerk apparently has a facet chainmeallel
>>536885117Arteezy most likely? Thing is, they were probably being viewbotted.
Who is the Faker of dota2?
>>536885649RTZ
>>536885649dendi
>>536885649zsmj
>>536885649No such thing. Faker's been consistent for longer than any dota2 pro. Sumail or dendi could've become that but they ended up falling off very quickly.
>>536887201Sumail got fucked by that EG contract
lmao I remember when dee tuu gee were sucking sumail's cock likes he is second coming of IcefrogFucker didnt even last as long as 1 of my goon session.Didnt even go out with a bang. Was just a pathetic whimper.
>>536885649icefraud, no one facked dota 2 like he did
>>536887426literally won his first TI at 15 but go off queen
>>536887749lmao one time cum shot then fucked to the void.
>>536887235Point is - we never had and will never have dota2 version of faker. The game nowadays is not even as competitive as it used to be. Faker's been in league since pretty much its inception and outlived many of its iterations, still competing at the highest level today while the game itself still draws attention of many good players around the world.Dota is basically 3 CIS and 3 EU stacks, which is laughable considering how dominant China used to be just a bit over a decade ago. They were owning hard and there was also this constant back and forth between EU and NA as well.
goysss....Did Icefucker betray us? Why did he leave us for fucking deadcock? why? Just why? This fucking mudslime betrayed us, for what? 1920s occultism shooter????
>>536888170>league's skill cap is so low that one guy can dominate it for its entiretynot really a flex
>>536888413Or just be so good nobody can beat you in a game whose skill cap is that low (which isn't even really true anyway).
sex with hoodwink
so as a support, should i be harassing my teammates to do the tormentor right at 20 minutes?
>>536867731sky mid is crazy, does it fall off in higher mmr? If you build him right he doesn't seem to ever fall off in low mmr due to no pipes.
>>536889031Doesnt matter they wont listen to you anyway
>>536889169yeah but the tormentors are so close to each other, we could do one tormentor, then go through the portal and do the other tormentor, that's like a quick 3k goldyou're right though, they won't listen
>>536869861Lina is boring THROVGHVRBEITVM>>536885305I want to try that in ranked since I am guardian but I either get retards that need me to sweat or smurfs so it would be throwing.
>>536885649I'd nut if faker retired from league only to play dota2, man aged like wine and would be well suited to this game instead of that clickfest. Valve should spam waifubait for a few years so maybe we can get the korean audience with how hard riot is trying to kill LoL.
>>536889392cumming paizuri with rylai
>>536889392boring normal skin. Needs ice hand, frost pube, translucent ice legs. google aurora paragon for more
>>536889392Okay. Fine.
>>536890596Good idea honestly.
>pick doom>losenice game dotards
>do overwatch case>its a huskar>clearly smurfing or a good player for guardian>report is scripting>every "incident" is huskar just autoing with his W toggledkek, league babs don't know you can make his W auto cast lol
Bristle, Sand King, Doom and Tiny are unplayalbe right now
>>536891647explain; they work in guardian.
>>536885649Dota has much less dominant runs like that. But in terms of consistency over almost a decade, Ame maybe?
>>536891456Sometimes there's auto detection that goes haywire if you have strange keyboard and resolution settings that gets listed as scripting
>>536891790out of curiosity i checked their dotabuff statistics and only sand king has a winrate above 50%, and only in guardian. Mild inconvenience man on the other hand has the lowest aggregate win rate out of any hero hovering at like 42%-44% across all skill brackets which tracks out with how shit he is right now
>>536885649We got non, Dota isn't about skill it's just about abusing what is broken at the moment.That's why every time there's a team that totally dominates the team for the longest time becomes totally useless once a new patch hits and the "meta changes".Dota pros for some reason can barely experiment or play different heroes at all and can only blindly follow the meta.Bane is the perfect example of this, like that match when a pro played bane against Lycan in a lane and skilled sleep first and not enfeeble, of course lycan just used wolf to wake up from sleep making it totally useless all game. Meanwhile if he would skill enfeeble it would make the lycan totally useless.They are retarded and can't think for themselves.
Played a really intense turbo game that came down to me stealing antimages blink and lc dispel to buff my pa yes we all had last tier neutral items and we barely won
>>536892232>Mild inconvenience manBristle? I mean yeah he does seem kind of bad, I thought doom was good higher mmr though?>>536892301league is exactly the same but worse. I do think faker/korean pros in general are a special breed though much like the also korean scbw scene.
>>536892556Doom used to be called le mild inconvenience man like... 7 years ago. Also no lol Bristle is bad but at high MMR Doom is pretty worthless. Doom could literally kill the enemy hero on cast and the rest of his kit would still suck.
>>536892837RIPPEN my nigga doom. I geuss I should pick him more before I get higher then if I want to win games with him. is RM actually bad? I know a guy shitposts about him but he seems high impact just harder to play than other supports.
what heroes can solo the tormentor?
>>536893553ursa
>>536893553torontotokyo
>>536892556Faker actually got worse as he age. Hes knows for his game's state and knowledge and experience now. A leader, for sure. But he got out skilled by the top players, everytime
>>536892145*picks jugg*
>>536895796mechanically yeah but that is normal dude is extremely consistent and a solid player that forces enemy teams to focus him and can still look good.
why am i the one getting this 1 of 1 nigger on my team
>>536888170>The game nowadays is not even as competitive as it used to beThat is easily proven to be false
>>536892837the problem with doom is its cd not how effective it islc kills one hero and is viable only because she can do it every minute
>>536897667also no one ever mentions the comms, he a really good ingame leader as cited by his teammates over the years. faker isn't good because he was cracked mechanically a decade ago, its that he understands the game on a fundamental level and can lead while also playing from behind due to enemies focusing him due to being a living legend essentially.
>>536898086unlucky game
>>536899394trust me, you just got to play better.
>>536899238Riot copy true sight yet?
>>536883624>>536883743ended up losing 600 com score, behavior score untouched
>>536900752Fucking commie game, reddit tier voting, normies score, what ever u call itWhat a shit hole of a game

>>536905539which team would you have picked
>>536905513needs a complete rework at this point, same for SF. Them being rightclickers is so fucking lame.
>>536905716sf had a sovlfvl magic build with his 50% cdr talent but you faggots complained about it

jesus Void Spirit is so fucking bad, you are basically another support
I'm a complete noob to mobas. What should I start with? Which role/lane/hero is best to start with?
>>536878582This would be based, but can they get the visas...
>>536915130Mid huskar
>>536887426Sumail has qualified to this year's TI through the WEU qualifier (the strongest region). We didn't end up having some sort of "Sumail Era" but he's far from washed.>>536888170And the game is more competitive nowadays. Motherfuckers are crazy skilled.
>>536915130Supportogre magi or just play bot matches first to get the hang of it
>>536915130not support, hardstucks (yes in unranked) will become triggered since the role actually requires a decent amount of minimum game sense to play.
>>536915130mid, pick medusa, then jungle, ignore pings
>>536915130I started with od 21 years ago
>>536915130Marci looks better in the anime
>>536915130I have no idea. Pick something which can nuke waves. At least that way you can learn how to shove waves from the start. It will get you very far.
>>536915373just hold it online with some sort of cycle format for servers
>>536904213ccnc in the suicide watch
>>536915130marci!
why is everybody getting mad about the chink team? Weren't they the highest ranked team not in TI?
>>536923075Anti-Chink bias. I for one am happy.
>>536905673EG
>>536923075only subhumans are, the chinks deserved it this time
>>536923075Yes they were, personally I am very glad. I have been calling for them to be the invitees for several threads in a row and am very impressed they had the courage to go ahead with it.
>>536923924Why would you not have the courage to go ahead? You can earn money and the ccp would definitely encourage it.
>>536925105I meant courage by the TOs. For them to pick the best team rather than a crowd favourite or easier region.
I can't believe I've never received a deadlock invite from the faggots at valve after playing dota for all these years, at this point I don't even care about the game and probably won't ever play it, but fuck man
>>536926172retard
I figured rubick is a dogshit support and a godlike core late game
>>536926172Deadlock is like a discord group, only for the invited nepo babies. Discord groups are disgusting and closed to outsiders, and so is deadlock.
would an attack modifier focused build be strong on gyro for flak cannon? Mjollnir Daedalus Skadi
I don't like this general and haven't liked it for years in the last 5 years only like a couple times someone in the chat made a party like whatever bro.
>mason plays tide safe>cant 1vs2>throw a baby fit
TeaGuvnor is 13K now? Since when do we have talent who are actually talented at the game?
>>536915130doesn't matter, just pick whatever hero you think is cool and start playingthe goal of the game is to kill the other team's Ancient and defend your own team's Ancientyou'll learn everything you need to know along the way
Remove marci and hoodwink from the game
>mid refuses to build bkb despite stun heavy enemy comp>completes bloodthorn>chases enemy qop>gets stunned by ogre>dies aloneebic
best heroes to absolutely EUTHANIZE a game just by picking them and playing normally?
at what bracket do players understand very elementary principles of farm pecking order? I can be walking to a big wave and my support obviously sees me but still nukes it. why do they do that? When I play support I make sure my cores can secure the farm
>>536932745In SEA whenever I play core my supports follow me around and last hit my camps with their spells.
>>536930640tinker
>>536929586lacoste?
>>536932745stop trying to play for your teammates, focus on your game and you'll improve and get out of the autistic losers mmr bracket, this has been true since 2012 but people just don't follow it
Cant wait to hear Cap and SVG cast the tournaments
I stopped watching TI because all casters are soulless copies of eachother except for odpixel, they should have never kicked tobi.
This general feels like a retirement home
This general feels like a place for mature, educated and self-improvement focused high level gamers playing the hardest most difficult and most rewarding videogame ever made.
This general is full of real ninjas
>>536934041This only works for carries. If you're playing support, you have no choice but to try and work with your shitty team.
>>536937841you can take risky farm as a support and push dangerous waves by yourself and doing just that you'll have much more impact than your usual sitting behind cores leech support in low mmr
This is so funny, then QOP ultis too and the guy comes out full hp.
>>536936494tobi was super washed at casting for the final years
>>536940120and he was still much better than everyone else besides odpixel

I've been away 8 months, what have I missed?Before returning to ranked, what the spammed heroes at the moment?
>>536944896meta is actually very healthy and every hero is good enough, you have to counterpick
>>536944896Undying, Nortrom, Akasha, Yurnero, Axe, Ursa, Furion, Gondar, Barathrum, Dawn, Leshrac and Thrall.If you want a bigger pool check https://dota2protracker.com/meta.

>>536943506How can you be a Dota 2 legend if u didmt even win a single ti?
>>536947112ask fear
>>536937312I FUCKING HATE SOUTH AMERICAN NIGGERS SO FUCKING MUCH THEY PLAY LIKE FUCKING ANIMALS AND MAKE ME WANT TO STRANGLE THEM TO DEATH FOR HOW RETARDED THEY PLAY.
>>536947583queue europe and shut up about it
>>536947347He won ti in 2015
>>536955505vs cdec finals, jungling kotl and techies meta, it didn't could
it didn't count* fuck you, its the autocorrect
>>536955743>jungling kotl and techies metaback when dota had soul left
>>536955743>it didnt count because I said so
eg 2015 would be struggling to reach 5k mmr today, ppd might even be at that mmr nowadays
jubei is playing dota again, very cool, I wonder if he still reads this general
that zeus is complete trash, this is like 5k mmr or what
list of mickey mouse TIs>ti1navi had the beta key before everyone else>ti4dogshit meta worst ti ever>ti6everyone underperformed and thanks to that DC reached finals. the outcome went as expected. wings gave them 1 game for fun (they unironically picked pudge lp) and then raw fucked them 3 games in a row playing seriouslythis is how to avoid mickey mouse TIs>remove lower bracket and upper bracketthis doesn't give chance to trash team that lucked their way into upper bracket (mvp phoenix ti6, thunder awaken ti11) or trash teams to recover in lower bracket (dc, gaming gladiator, liquid)>add 1 more stage besides the main event and the group stage so the trash clash against trashthis filters the utter garbage trash from ruining our eyes while watching the group stage games.>keep the group stage but make it 4 groups instead of 2 groupsthis speed up the process of eliminating the remaining trash and doesn't spoil the good games that will happen in the main event>main event is only played by teams that passed the filteronly the good an interesting games are left, no more shit teams playing>only the BO5 finals is played in one day. no more games besides thatthis doesn't give a warm up advantage to the niggers playing a final BO3 match before the event's final
>>536960578shut up loser, ti5 EG won games with jungling kotl that rushed aghs before brown boots, it's not real dota and it's the undisputed #1 league of lesbians TI uncontested
I'll never forgive myself for not paying the $150 needed for the razor arcana, I need it right now
ti4 actually took skill to win, every team knew the meta, yeah rushdown push meta is cancerous but everyone knew how to play so the best teams wonand ti4 had the best format ever for TI, round robin with like 12 teams, first phase of the event had 16 hours of bo2s for like 2 days straight, it was great for us viewers
actually insane how low skill this jubei game is, he must have fallen pretty low in mmr
>>536960919It has always ended up being $30 per arcana or even much less if you were actively playing.
this meta has shown me that a surprisingly large number of people cannot play magnus
>>536943506>ramzeswho invited bludblud thinks he's on the team
bsj is right
>>536968819yeah, valve doesn't give a shit about esports anymore and they are right, dota 1 wasn't about esports either, it was about shitting on the other team and that's what dota should be about
>>536966979Russian rtc
jubei got skinny and quit dota, what are you doing with your life
what does cheese pick mean
>>536970502
>>536970636ohhhthank you
>>536970502A strategy with lots of holes
>>536970463>>536959603>>536962260Well, I'm not posting about some washed used to be pro nigger on /vg/ every two threads expecting replies when no one else on /vg/ clearly gives a single shit about your depressed nigger dota 2 streamer #102 and NEVER replies to you.
>>536970796he played dota today but he's done with it, he'll just be a lolcow for the 5 people that buy subs in his channel
you can see that icefrog doesnt work on the game anymore because the patches are actually balanced now with 6+ strong heroes for every role instead of the madness that was icefrog's shit job
>>536969573The decline of Dota as an esport is why I've finally decided to attend a live tournament. I live in Australia and have a family so it's a big event to leave the country for a period of time, but I don't know how much longer big live tournaments with truly skilled players have left.
>>536943506your pic just confirms yatoro is the GOAT luv puppey though hope he commentates ti
>>536975226they're still going to make TI for a while but it's never going to be it was until 2020, the game doesn't have new blood to sustain that and players made too much money, made the game soulless
it is disappointing that valve didn't buy HoN and ported the heroes, icefrog made those heroes, he was the person behind hon, they would have fit in our game
>>536973464Icefrog may have been shit at fine balance but he was excellent at game direction, this game is basically in maintenance mode since he left.
deadlock is going to fail like every other new multi player game valve has put out
>>536975390Yeah but it's thousands of dollars to get to Denmark from Australia and there's no guarantee of another Asian TI so I'm planning on going to Blast Slam in Singapore in November. Besides the prize pool isn't that different, $2 mil for TI vs $1 mil for Blast Slam, and all the top teams have already confirmed attendance.
>>536975619he's going to lead dota and deadlock but first he needs to get deadlock in a passable state and it's far from it, people don't like that game at all, they don't stick to it at least, so I think he'll spend 2025 trying to fix deadlock, launch it and go back to dota
>>536975691I was watching it and it felt like watching overwatch but the players also have to stop and hit creeps, completely soulless game, there is no way it will work, they have to restart from zero with that game
>play dota>same 20 heroes in every gamegood game dotards
>>536975968way too many hero shooters on the market for any normie to care about deadlock
>>536976440they should make it a fps and slow down the game's movement a bit, it would make it unique at least
deadlock movement is super fast and the ttk is super slow, so you have to click a spazzing nigga for a minute to kill him, who would enjoy that? it gets old fast
Nobody would give a SINGLE fuck about deadlock if it didn't have the Valve™ name behind it. It looks unironically worse than Battleborn
>>536977136Lol the time to kill now is so long idk what they did but i know it felt better in the 4 lane map example abrams he felt great to play now he feels like a wet noodle the game has gotten worse even if i get killed by people for saying that
valve could literally unironically hire the BTS crew to do the summit / TI and it would revive all the soul of dota esports and cost like 300k/year tops, for everything
>>536979073I miss BTS so much, the first BTS was my favourite eSports event of all time.
>>536978757I'm not entirely sure. It absolutely does feel like an Icefrog game, with all the super fun broken shit and deep strategic gameplay.
>>536979073I still use the BTS El Gato courier because it looks very cool. didn't watch enough BTS games to get the other looks though
>been months since I played>say what the hell and queue for a game>pick melee offlaner>my support picks pudge into my melee offlaner>he hits zero hooks and does nothing in lanesome things never change.
>>536981310pudge one can work, because you are in the safe lane and its relativly easy to hook into tower, and the team cant run you down. But 4 pudge is totally worthless. The p5 can get away with not having items, but the p4 is expected to at least be able to participate in the game.
>>536983068pudge 5 mb
>divine regaliaopinions?
>>536979073its not 2017 anymoreit wont be the same
>>536973464>6+ strong heroes for every rolefunny way of admitting the game has devolved into league-tier balance where you meta-slave or auto lose
>>536975726>Besides the prize pool isn't that different, $2 mil for TI vs $1 mil for Blast Slamthis is some mega cope thinking this makes these lans anywhere near equal
>>536986313it was better when there was only 1-2 strong heroes for every role?that doesnt make sense
>>536986451No it was better when heroes had both strength and weaknesses and you could exploit that, instead of some heroes just being good at everything with no weakness at all.
>>536986983>instead of some heroes just being good at everything with no weakness at all.name them
>>536987082All of them, they've removed all the weaknesses from heroes.
Rape my predictions
>>536987426Sounds balanced
>>536900752Ohh, they finally got them separated? Nice.t. haven't played for many months except for a single weekend day with the boys
>>536986353Well it used to be $40 mill vs half a mill so...
>>536988310Xtreme and Nigma are not bottom 4 teams. Heroic isn't a top 10 team anymore.
>>536990215Should I swap heroic and Nigma?
>>536990104what does that matter, you didnt win any of itti is about the prestige
>>536990319I would but outside of the top 8 and Wildcard it's really a bunch of judgement calls. Navi isn't that good but they have a lot of potential and have been improving so I figured you thought they'd hit their peak for TI.
>>536990215Also, does the order matter? I figured they just have to be in the same group
>>536990423You're probably right I duno it ducks with my autism I think you may even have the same groups as me
My Yatoro's titles suck and my Nisha and Cr1t's titles should swap but overall I'm pleased with my fantasy team
Is enigma supposed to be a fast farmer? He kills neutrals so slow while having to juggling niggas to keep them alive.
Should we bring back level 1 jungling? Since 4 is a high demand role anyay
We were 2nd last year, down almost 50% viewership this year
>>536993579Huge prizepool pulled in viewers, it's retarded to thumb your nose at the exclusion of battle pass to be like "humph you didn't see a cent of that money anyway who cares"I care because Dota is a dignified pastime for patricians.
>>536993579>most watched game that is ahead by over 30m from its competitors>a game that nobody ever played, watched, or heard ofyeah sure
>>536993430The game is pretty much designed for forced 2-1-2 with some occasional roaming. The not-icefraud devs have zero interest in anything else and would just fuck it up if they tried, like when they brought back trilanes and pos3 was literally unplayable.
>>536995451>pos3 was literally unplayableGood
>>536993674>Huge prizepool pulled in viewersprize didnt change much$5 million 2024$3 million 2023no one gives a shit about arab lan
>>536995520that is bad game design
Strong laning pos 3 + jungler 4 in the safe lane is actually viable and counters the 2 1 2 meta
>>536995794You're sacking your offlaner if you do this, and if you're above 3k MMR the enemy 4 will just frag you in your jungle.

the worst players tend to be master/grandmaster tier on a support hero like lion, wd, shamanmaster tier carry players are a mixed bag. sometimes it's just a pub carry, sometimes you get a god
CEEEB
>>536998468I'm master tier with Techies and I shit the bed half the time because I played 98% of my Techies games before he became soulless. The way you play him now somehow feels sillier than broken release Techies.

>>537002802I had two different games recently where the enemy Mag rotated mid, solo ulted me to save his fucktarded pos2 and my supports did nothing but flame me.I didn't know it was possible to win and still be too tilted to queue again.

>>537026435Are you talking about Marci being totally out of place?
>>537026736something like that yeah.
Marci really sticks out like a sore thumb. Adding her was a mistake, not to mention the crowd she tends to attract. Primal beast, muerta and db are the only relatively new heroes that fit the game stylistically
>>537027835how is marci dissimilar to other female humans like lina or cm?

speaking of muerta; Is she good at ANYthing? Seems mediocre every role, maybe viable as a 4 in high mmr?
>>537031554Used to be really good as pos 4 but got nerfed
>>537027971Bigger size in general compared to other heroes.Way higher polygon countHer artstyle is mostly anime inspired made into 3d instead of being designed from the ground art out of a western artist.Her face is generaly rounder and softer.Higher polycount.Higher polycount.And did I say higher polycount?
>>537027971She looks fucking stupid and should've been an anthro instead.
>>537031554Not really she is a very off meta pos 1 only against specific line ups and even then she is pretty mediocre.
>>537032126*sad whistle* at least she is fun and cute xd
>>537031682>>537032353very lame, hopefully they find a place for her since I think her kit is fun.
>>537027971Her design is not immediately indicative of what she's going to do in-game, which clashes with the crystal clear design of every other hero in the game. Axe is big and red, so you know he's gonna run at you and fight you. Crystal Maiden is blue and small, so you know she's going to fight at range. What is Marci at a first glance? Well light clothes and backpack makes me think she's some dainty support, maybe she throws food or supplies around to heal or buff. Oh no, she's actually a wrestlemania fighter pugilist that lifesteals.
Muerta is horrendously designed.Its baffling how bad they made Muerta specially when you look at any of the deadlock cast, which are almost all winners conceptually.They askked some random californian what he knew about hispanics and called it, nobody would unironically think that a holiday themed hero is a good idea. Nobody, thats like making a Headless Horseman hero with a cartoonishly evil pumpkin head a a regular hero (I know there are hats like that for couple heroes, but those are cosmetics ,we are talking default looks and design concepts)Specially when most of the deadlock designs are absolutely top tier.It wouldn't be bad or that weird to have a hispanic gunsliger but the fact they had to theme it out of Dia de los muertos just fucking ruins it, you could remove that bit alone, add a non raspy witch voice and the hero would've been as popular as the other girls. Deadlock is a shit game that will flop btw.
>>536915130Support or mid.Support since everything you learn for the role translates over to core and you can focus on the actual game without have to worry about farming shit.Mid is also good since its the most independent role and just forces you to git gud at the game fastest.As for heroes, just make sure to pick a hero with a stun. Stuns are super important so learning how to use one effectively (and how to play around them) is central to developing a dota game mindset.
>>537033221Isn't santa muerta a thing in mexican catholic lore and not just a holiday mascot?
>>537014743And some rubick 4 or 5 with 0 items kills you with 2 spells at level 9
>>537033221Completely disagree. I've never like her voice but if you remove the day of the dead aspect she'd just be another shitty league hero entirely.
>>537033817La Santa Muerte is a thing in mexican religion, but its literally just saint version of death, with a white robe instead of black.Muerta is clearly inspired after dia de los muertos, specially with the flowers and the "ofrenda" thing which they removed. Dia de los muertos is literally a day where Mexican folk leave "orendas" (Offerings) to their dead. That and because her outfit literally looks like a random instagram model doing a themed costume based of the holiday.
>>537034643ah so they didn't reasearch the right thing, understandable. Still like this anon posted >>537034583 without it she is generic. Ultimately I think they made her voice too raspy and don't let her be strong for ??? reasons.
>>537034583Plot twist, dota became more league than league itself is nowadays.>Talents>FacetsThose might as well be rune masteries.>Vector Targeting>New Heroes have more skillshots/movement based abilitiesYou werent a retard you'd realized we gone full league a long time ago.
cant win with any other pos1 than naix
>>537034837>dota added things league doesn't have>that makes it more like leagueIf they released 6.xx dota you would complain that it's too much like league
>>537034837true, but league today isn't even recognizable to old league players. I swear half my low mmr matches are league players learning dota.

Haven't played in exactly a year, should I queue for a game?
>>537039889That's like asking if you should bust a nut after holding it for a year
>>537039889yeah as long as it isn't turbo.
>>537035049What has actually happened?
What's the counterplay to low mmr chainfeeding teammates? Farm until lose and hope next game has people not on ten game loss streak? Because they sure don't listen when I tell them "hey if you keep fighting them from behind we are going to lose the game".
i played 3 games in a row against PL todayhaven't seen him a month at leastwho is to blame for this epidemic?
>>537042168you can try getting them to listen if you have the mental fortitude to herd sheep and stay sane but you're probably just fucking off farming and hoping they throw under a tower or hg
>>537038806i agree
why do i play dota
>>537038806>he can't talk because he deserves itThese people should be made to play SEA
>>537034837It was inevitable, sadly. The Valve jannies that took over for Icefraud likely had no idea what the hell they were doing so they just picked the most popular MOBA game as a frame of reference.Hell, they're mostly Americans, so I'm willing to bet at least one of them might actually be a League player.

who are the players you chose for your fantasy stuff, your carry, mid and support
>>537074175feel pretty alright with my picks

>>537074175slavs

>>537075302The neutral tokens you collect to get an item.
>>537075818might change satanic since I think he is a little overhyped but whatever still good player.
explain how and why skywraith falls off. because I just don't see it in guardian, he seems to scale into a late game magic nuker. Is it because higher mmr uses items better?
>>537077664>going against the goat of dota yatoro ???
>>537077930You bean cereal?
>>537078370yes I unironicly nuke people through bkb. and that other garbage magic resist item. I am 100% serious the only time I've ever felt weak late game is if they all build euls and force staff, even pipe isn't enough to save people from him.
>>537078502Because you're fucking Skywrath, eventually they will kill (You) because you are a floating wet paper bag. Your job is not to close out the game.
is skywrath the only one with flavor text for his facets? it kinda reminds me of pl and his default items
I need a killer mid guys, someone who plays 1 from the midlane, and I need a better pos 4, I don't think Mira's team is good enough
I think I'm gonna go Nisha and Saksa
>>537085353bzm is fine you could also go with noone but on pos 4 Rue is probably your safest bet other then saksa
>>537086365rue? never heard of this guy, I don't follow pro dota anymore, but ok
>>537081943>eventually they will kill youSounds like a positioning skissue to me.
>>537071513Valve completely forgot about the dota shard shit. they havent added new hats in years there. lots of the shard treasure chests shit is not there.
>>537085353bzm or nisha are the best picks
>>537085353bzm will score well through the groups, there's almost no way he doesn't

i saw some fag streaming yesterday, he was playing drow, and there was a circle/line constantly displaying his attack range. it even increased when he got dragon lance. how can i do that? i can't find it on the settings and as far as i can tell, putting it on that autoexec.cfg would be a static line, i'm not even sure that works anymore. all the info on google seems to be outdated too, like stuff from 10 years ago
>>537129006Alt right click on spells displays range, might need dota+ idk
>>537129341he constantly had a range indicator on his attack distance. it wasn't a specific spell
>>537129545Use it on frost arrows or maybe it works if you click on your hero's stats
>>537106430nice
I wonder if he was griefing bros...
>>537132249Camera replay bug due to resolution issues causing cursor to desync from clicked location or schizophrenic camera movement possible due to scripts, both get auto detected

Am I wrong in thinking octarine core is a bad item generally speaking?
>>537138909It's a luxury item, you want the effects but it's not like it's going to make or break the game except maybe for Puck or Ember where you can become even more unkillable
>>537140273yeah sounds about right. wild it got nerfed though.
>>537129006alt + left click on attack dmg state near hero portrait. found it extra useful when learning various ranged heroes
>>537142173You were getting like a 50% increase in component stats on an item with no recipe

Lion pickers are always fucking useless
Still more useful than the bounty hunter pickers
Since when did these carryless teams become meta? In normal dota these teams should get stomped, but in nudota it literally does not fucking matter what you pick.They could just as well give everyone a random hero, because the picking phase is not significant to the outcome of the game anyway

>>537200683It looks as though GG owed the players money, and they said they wouldn't play under the GG banner at TI unless it was paid, and demanded to play as independents. Since GG was the organisation invited, they needed their permission, but GG didn't give it.
>>537202616I don't see them saying that and I also see quinn saying they were prepared to play under the GG name, I'm sure it is money related because it always is but I wonder what direction it's coming from

>>537208463Im going for ultrawide 1440 for my next monitor, I dont like using 2 monitors
If I see one more pos 1 sniper picker, I'm gonna lose it.
there is a counter to sniper who's also one of the best mmr climber in the game and has always been
>>537211561it's called literally anything, sniper is kind of shit.
>>537211561I'm talking about him being on my team and constantly losing me games, as >>537212108points out.
>>537211561but that's not because of his kit but because of the laugh+ranged execute being strong in pubs
why cant I bring myself to grind? it's kind of crazy before playing I'm always thinking how tiresome it is to play the game but when I play it I'm energetic because the game just jolts adrenaline in your bloodstream
crusader safelane is impossible
>>537218068just pick an offlaner xd
>>537218068cmon nigger, you can't be stuck in crusader unironically and actually trying to win, people in crusader don't give a shit about winning or losing
>>537218394Ever since all smurf ban waves, Crusader has been increasingly harder to get out of. I kind of feel for him.
>>537218394objective liethey care a lot about losingthere's no other explanation as to why they do the things that they do
>>537218520lol

MALEDICKED!
GUYS who is going to revive dota like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zNtATsb5eg
dota needs reviving in NA, CN and SEA
>>537218394Subhuman MMR players do care about winning, but more often than not the shit they do when they "tryhard" is what causes them to lose games. My friends are 1k and they unironically play better when they're fucking around.
>>537208578Sure, but Valve are definitely mastering games for OLEDs at this point.They'll make sure their games run on lower end hardware but they themselves are total richfags.
>>537224459Never going to happen nothing Valve can do to get people who've never played dota or a moba to play it the future is mobile games
>>537230083except valve can do it, very easilyall they have to do is craft 3/4/5 players vs npc pve modes like siltbreaker and that sort of stuff, the normies love it, they just need to market them as standalone games and get the normies to get a feel for the game and lots will transition to playing actual dota
I made Jakiro ragequit after I Blinked onto him, Ulted, stunned, hexed, and then I think stunned again, only for him to get hit by Sniper's assassinate, and then finally die to me.Call it the Shadow Shuffle.
Why are there retards that compare the $40 million battlepass that existed for over a year as a result of TI being cancelled due to COVID to other years when most battlepasses were only available for around 3 months? The only one that comes close is TI9 where it was available for nearly 8 months, are dotards just retarded
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA I HATE WEEKEND PLAYERS YOU ARE NOT 5K MMR YOU PARTY BOOSTED ARCHON FAGGOT
anyone up for some matches? i am divine but i can also smurf if your rank is too low
why does God hate me this much, what the fuck did I do to him to deserve this
>>537231904I'm too rusty, next week for sure
what hero do I play to celebrate drumpf's death?
>>537231904What region going out to smoke first tho
>>537234303us east, europe or russia, you can pickmy friend code is 41647433>>537232409you can add me on the meantime
Bump to save the thread
TA has three facets and one of them is usable so I'm adamant that next patch they'll remove that one and not buff the other two
>>537239270Two of them are unusable though
biggest problem with being rusty is how much time you actually think about clicking and moving the map, doing the mechanical stuff instead of playing the actual game
>>537242193Yeah that's literally what I just said
I think neutral item enchantments are too powerful, getting mana regen from a tier 1 item is too good.
>>537244108it balances out the fact that the neutral items themselves are the most boring soulless pieces of shit i have ever seen
>>537242396When I return to the game my strategy is to feed my brains out trying to push the limits. Then when I'm ready I dial it back a bit and start pooping on nerds.I find that by the time the game feel returns the mechanical skill is back also.
>>537244108They should rework them again to an active component and a passive component using neutral item effects as the passive instead of boring stat ups
>queue up for a nice game of my favorite game, Defense of the Ancients 2, on Europe west with only English as the selected language>9 (Nine) Russians in my game, literally all 9 other players have Russian names and wrote in Russian
>>537245793Region lock would save this game.
>>537190308i wonder how many dotards would rather play silksong than watch ti
>>537196315my schizo headcanon is that the US government gave gaben a talk after Spirit winning TI10 and they didn't like how players from countries diplomatically lukewarm to the US were getting so much money on US soil
>>537249032ti10 was played in bucharest....
>>537249371same idea. american company handing out money to Zchuds and chinks
>>537249432except trump loves russia
>>537249032no, valve actually cares about the game and is trying to fix it.
>>537249646its working too
>>537245793Select maximum allowed ping to like 30. (If you live in west europe and not east)
>>537249646Now THAT'S a schizo headcanon
>>537218068Literally just farm and come out ahead itemwise after 30 minutes.
Can someone screenshot or copy-paste the bookie odds for TI? I can't access ggbet in my country and I can't currently access a VPN either.
>Play pos4, go to lane vs Marci (Bodyguard) and Tusk (Tagteam)>Slowly poke at them and get a kill, staying safe>My Bristle thinks it would be a good idea to man up fight them instead>He dies, TPs to lane, dies, smokes and runs to lane, dies, buybacks and queues up a MidasIt's my fault of course, I should have purchased a Windwaker at minute 3 to cancel his TP so he wouldn't tilt. I'm the only constant.
>>537250608the issue with that playstyle is that in Herald to Crusader they start brooling min 10 onwards so if you don't join a single fight by min 30 the enemy team will have taken 2 set of racks at the minimum. Sometimes AFK farming until you hit timings doesn't work and at this level teammates don't know how to play from behind, spread out, retake some control over the map and they just recoil in fear highground waiting for the enemy to end
>>537252176You mustn't be shoving lanes enough. If your team has to fight 4v5, you should have split push a tower. Otherwise they will pull have to someone back to defend.
>>537246454They are already in germany.
Enigma sucks ass so much after the laning phase.
>>537252176>start brooling min 10 onwardsNot really, low mmr games have way fewer kills than high mmr games.
>>537253073Have you tried building hotd first item?
>>537244108I miss the neutrals from before the map was flooded. Now things feel even more rng dependent. Also on a sidenote, why do low mmr underestimate neutrals so much? I always farm for them as soon as they are up but usually my teammates ignore them.
>>537234296Invoker
>>537230346The Rhaasta SS are brutal in their methods.
>>537245793Dota and CS are like the one diplomatic channel with Russia that still counts for something.Tolerating Russians in your games is a small price to pay for preventing nuclear war.
>>537257502Ziggers are subhuman scum and most zoomers are ziggerlike subhuman scum so any type of war where these subhumans perish like the dogs that they are is welcome
are you guys actually in this?
>>537258010yes
>>537253073the key is never showing on lane
>>537258010hell naw
>look at viper skins waiting for match to start>almost all of them are goodwtf
Dawnbreaker is such an awkward hero if your team starts losing lead... You just ulti into fight, use Q and then don't do anything and get kited to death
yoo how to axe, blink first or blade mail or wat?
>>537262721its even worse in low mmr>get used to playing with smurfs>get game with people actually at that mmr>you let yourself get baited when one is out of position once>game is now over lead lost
>>537263273radiance
>>537263273Blademail+bkb first, then blink in case someone's scripting or spamming targeted spells in anticipation of your blink in

queueing is actually painful right now, I hate that someone can report you for not feeding with them and some guy will think that you are infact griefing for not fighting with a gold deficit on enemy hg tanking your behaviour score from perfect to slightly below 12k leading to double digit drop in match quality.

>>537282909yeah some dude who sell this shit is now top 500 richest dude in the world or some shit
Patch when?Current meta fucking sucks, invoker/ursa/nevermore every game.Buff Rooftrellen.
>>537263273Depends on your team, same for LC. If you have Skywrath/Invoker/WD/etc. then you should get a Blink first and have them deal the damage in the Call/Duel while you provide the powerful BKB-piercing disable.If your teammates can't help you with the burst damage, get Blademail first.I played a game recently with an LC that went Blademail first while we had an Invoker and a Lion. Until Lion could get a Blink, she awkwardly ran towards enemies to try to duel while getting kited and killed even though the Exort Invoker could have given her free duel wins with his Sunstrike.

Who is the physical damage dealer on radiant? Why should that team be able to win? It's just a dumb meme draft
>>537297112sb

>enemy team has 6 million billion hp>my team constantly walks into them 1 by 1 and gets butchered in every fight>despite this, the entire game was my fault because i didnt build radiance after a bad lane, the shittiest honeypot item in the game against tanky targetsi will never understand the mindset of the average trench nigger
>>537263273Blademail first always. >>537285905 has kind of the right idea but relying on your teammates to actually be useful in pubs is a recipe for disaster. Sometimes it'll work out but many times it won't. You'll never regret going Blademail first and farming a slightly slower Blink, but you absolutely will regret going Blink first, realizing your Skywrath is an idiot, and then being forced to go back to farming for your next item anyways.

>>537314937>>537314967>tobi at TIUUHHHH DIDNT THEY KILL THIS GUY???
>>537315705trump ordered them to bring back tobi
>>537314967Cements their position as a fringe team along with the likes of Nigma, Xtreme, Yakult, Tidebound, and Aurora. The actual contenders are Spirit, Falcons, Liquid, Betboom, and Parivision.
>>537316039executive order too
Doing some research. I also attach a handy infographic from Noxville with each team's current glicko ratings. In 2025, current TI teams have had the following top 4 results in tier 1 tournaments: >Parivision2 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze, 1 4th>Tundra3 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze, 1 4th>Spirit2 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze, 3 4th>Liquid2 silver, 4 bronze, 1 4th>Falcons1 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze, 1 4th>Tidebound1 gold, 1 bronze, 1 4th>Betboom2 gold, 1 silver, 2 4th>Nigma1 bronze>Aurora1 4th>Xtreme1 bronze
>Teammates select slark, luna>I select nightstalker pos 4 and edge it until :00>Offlaner picks Dawnbreaker at :01 for some reason>Pivot to phoenix>teammates STILL pick slark/luna>Enemy times out and abandonsthank fucking God
what's the point of playing pos1 if everyone even supports nuke the farm before you get to it
I swear guys I've avoided before get on my team again since I don't have avoid spots and am forced to make room after a few days. and they fucking ruin again
So fucking tilted tonight
>>537320179calm down mason
Does anyone else find it hard to level stats? Hovering over talents is dodgy as fuck, often the popup talent tree fades when you move your mouse to the +2 button

>>537321385Gotta fill'em both.
so when all of my predictions are proven correct which free arcana should I pick
>>537319638elf sex
>>537325005Is she actually an elf in that one, isn't she Invoker's daughter, didn't he genocide the elves, do I even care (no)
>>537324732I'm getting the PA one with the red flame blades
>>537324732Rubick is the one with the most "value" since it has the most effects. But just get whatever hero you actually play.
>>537327613invoker is an elf. so is templar and zeus and lone druid
Ephey does not even play dota. Why is that stupid whore even invited?
>>537327770Ench has pointy ears too, is she an elf
>>537328206she's elf-adjacent, as is leshrac
I've never been 4 digit mmr in my life. I'm stuck at around 900, no matter what I do
>>537329182consider playing sober
>>537329182it's rough but you will make it eventually, just stop queueing if you are getting griefer lobbies.
what's up my oglodi
I honestly don't understand how to climb MMR. I started playing ranked near the end of last year and got calibrated at 2100, now after many months of grinding and learning mechanics and more advanced techniques and gaining insight into the game, I have managed to get to 2100. In the intervening time I have gone as high as 2300 and as low as 1900. It feels like nothing I do matters.
I miss him...
best team predictions?
I think the only thing worse than seeing sniper on the enemy team is seeing sniper on your team
>>537333574Same goes for pudge

after ten years of playing this game i should probably start using control groups at some point

>>537343861you can simply reassigned them
>>537343861i've been tweaking my keybinds to try to make them more usable with my usual controls. if i only need 4 groups (brew) it works fine but idk if i'll need more? maybe?

What are the odds of a new hero reveal at ti?
>>537360059150%, new event is guaranteed.
>>537360059There's been a new hero reveal at every TI for like 10 years now, what do you think?
>>537360285any year could be the year they finally stop pretending to care
you know what they should do? update the fucking engine and add rollback netcode to matchmaking, allowing all players to play one 1 single server, the game is running so well nowadays they could do it (rollback is a big tax on cpu)
>>537350146why did they make all the heroes look ultra gay?. the only overprized shit that looks good is the qop figure and the dark willow mug, the rest is shit only a toddler, a giga fag or a woman would own.they really need to stop hiring westoid "artists"
I had bzm as my mid, now that tundra will be a joke I had to change to Nisha, really hope that works out, but I'm not hopeful
i want to play dota but i don't want to play "DOTA" you get me?
>>537362981I want to play but I don't want to play badly so I'm gonna watch a few videos and then crash out
>>537362745None of the artists are western though

dude, what if the new hero is Kanna from artifact? I really liked that character, I also really liked artifact, still saddens me it's dead
>>537364185It's going to be Frog Bard
>>537364185"it's a creep but epic!" is a shit idea and needs to die

How do you niggas feel knowing that Dota is going to die once I make my own old-Dota inspired MOBA where every character is an anime girl?
>>537364516those literally already exist and dota is still alive
>>537364582name one moba that plays like old dota
>>537364472They've removed basically all the old abilities for manipulating lane creeps, it's hard to imagine they'll add a hero based entirely around it.

There is so much farm on the new map cores need to shut the fuck up and start buying there own wards if they think support is not warding exactly where they want instead of acting like support is a personal slave
>>537365562>No anime girlsBut that's a good thing.
"heroes of newerth who's back" yeah heroes of newerth, that guy WHO is back, that one guy, I remember HIMfucking idiot retard
>>537365835nothing says you're in a shitter bracket than having cores complaining about having to buy wards, I literally have to fight my supportcucks to buy the wards because they're all worthless and I have to place the wards in the correct places so we can win the game
>>537366018you're brown
>>537366071>nothing says you're in a shitter bracket than having cores complaining about having to buy wardsyes im a shitter, but playing on the SEA with 3rd world monkeys

>>537360059I hope 0%. They should first fix the non existent heroes that have been recently released. More isn't always better
>>537360059I mean at this point they've clearly established they can reveal hero Elder Scroll 6 style and finish it next year.The only reason not to keep to tradition is if they really couldn't get one concept artist to make a design they like and then pay the trailer guys to make a trailer.It's literally a couple of hours of work (for Valve).
