How's Dota 2 TI prize pool doing these days?
Buff Hoodwink
ignore the troll
>>537374821just euls him bro haha just buy ghost scepter
the last TI I cared for was TI10. PSG LGD was a kino, dominant team where every player peaked and the Spirit underdog story with their three cores going beast mode was good too.
>>537375454didnt ask
everyone stopped giving a fuck about TI when they blacklist the guy that made this game into an esports by shoutcasting warcraft 3 dota matches, even valve
>>537378120funny, plenty of people cared about ti10 despite tobi not being therepeople cared about ti8/ti9 despite tobi not being a big factor anymoretobi out grew his role, it was time for him to move on
tobi wanted to make more money so he could provide for his familybut he was a terrible businessman and drove joindota into the groundthere is no career ladder as a caster and he failed at his other business ventureswaging was really his only other option
>>537374786Valve doesn't care about dota 2 and so should you.
tobi was the soul of dota and synderen's wife killed him and killed dota, and then she'll dump synderen because he won't have a job now that dota is deceased
Dota could have been so much more, but under the hands of ice frog... sigh, it could have been an Olympic game. Too bad, after all said and done, it is just to milk the pay pigs.
>>537380319unironically this, just look at deadlockicetard is killing it before it even leaves the womb with his retarded design philosophyhe is a thief and a fraud building upon the legacy of Eul
>>537381137if you love eul so much then play leaguethat is his baby
>>537380286Tobi was a snake who threw grant under the bus, he deserved it.
>>537381137I think you should give her credit, icefrog is just throwing shit and hoping whatever it is might stick.
>>537382245that's pendragon you fucking retard
Why do I like playing those heroes without stun or late game presence like venomancer?
is the aghs build on beastmaster not good anymore? I like the hero but I can't really micro so the helm build isn't really for me
>>537388954I don't even know if beast master is good at all.
>q europe west>germans are hyper autisticah my bretheren...
>>537388954Agh is worse but still situational good, dom'd creep is in a much better now as a creep-heroes.
>>537374786Lol we know why the money is low valve doesn't want to give Russians 70+ mill they won't come out and say it but it's pretty obvious a blind nigga can see it
>>537392481This is based if true.
finna shartifact but on my phone :(
>>537392481>valve doesn't want toValve could've just banned them if they didn't want to give them anything. The game is shit and valve don't give a fuck about it.
>>537393047if the game looked like this it would be 4x as big.
the new map is really bad so much more farm there is no point to even have a support player might as well go 5 cores
I stopped playing 3 years ago. What the fuck is happening in this game now? I remember when people were saying 7.0 was too complex.
>>537393234you go four cores one support (only for ward slots).
>>537394556The game is funt. started playing in 2022
>>537394556They made everything less complex by making every hero fit every role and making every ability aoethe unique hero archetypes slowly got removed
I AM LE JUGGERNAUTO LOL*heals his whole team to full then kills you in 1 second during ult*A FINE DISPLAY OF SKILL
>>537394860retard opinion
>>537395214bro your scepter?
are there going to be dotards at TI? can we get recordings of the sex parties?
How do you deal with axe cutting waves in the early game as support?
i just want to buy 1000 battlepass levels
>>537393047honestly wish it looked like thishand over the reigns to the chinks so i can be a whale again
Chink graphic special effects and the chink anime style characters are the worst. I am glad it's a western game.
>>537399316kill him because he's behind your tower>I can'tpick supports that can
>>537399316wait until he has a wave on him then spam blood grenades and attack him
what's the consequence for abandoning a game during the early draft
>>537404180It's a worse consequence than grieving your team by going afk for 4 minutes and returning
>>537401665Marcixisters... We're being called out...
THE REAL META IS TECHIES THE HARDEST SUPPORT SO WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR TRADITIONAL CARRIES YOU HARD PICK TECHIES. ALL NUKE AND DEFENSE IS TECHIES
>get rusnigs on team>loseRegion lock when?
This weekend was some of the worst dota ive played.
>gorgc gets full fucking freefarm do whatever you want game on juggernaut>gets phase, bf, yasha>comes late to a teamfight, solo omnis a qop who blinks away>insta lost due to tilt
>>537407519ACTUALLY IM WRONG YOU PICK CORE SUPS LIKE VENGE, NOT TECHIES. TECHIS SUP IS IF YOUR LINEUP IS A BUNCH OF SEMI CARRIES
TI status?
>>537409641jugg is the only hero played exactly the same way in literally every skill bracket
anons, does anyone have a guide for predictions? I don't know anything about the pro dota scene, just want the gibs
>>537409783JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, I JUST CRACKED THE SUPPORT META. MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT WHEN YOU PICK HARD CARRIES LIKE PA OR VOID, YOU PICK "HARD" SUPPORTS LIKE LION OR SS. THESE HEROES ARE NOT TECHNICAL "HARD" SUPPORTS IN THIS CATEGORY. THE CATEGORY THEY QUALIFY AS A HARD SUPPORT IN IS IN WITH SEMI-CARRIES AND CORES, NOT HARD CARRIES. UNDERSTAND? IT'S TRICKY TO GET BUT IF YOU HAVE A PA AND A VOID AND AN LC ON YOUR TEAM YOU PICK A VENGE OR A SKYWRATH, NOT SS OR LION WHO HAVE MULTIPLE STUNS. THE CURRENT VIEW ON THE META IS -LITERALLY- WRONG AND EVERYONE PLAYS IT WRONG. THIS IS THE LITERAL TRUTH^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
>>537413585BIG FUCKING DEAL POST RIGHT HERE
>>537413585You haven't figured out a "meta" so much as you have come to understand how pubs work.
>>537414343IM MAKING A SERIOUS POST. I KNOW YOU COMPLETELY CLOUDED YOURS IN BULLSHIT SO SOMEHOW THAT PIECE OF LITERAL SHIT YOU CALL A POST CAN ALMOST BE DISCNERED AS "SERIOUS" BUT IN REALITY, THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS POST.
Disruptor is the most unfair piece of shit hero in the history of this game.
>>537416336>glimpses you back to ur fountain
is gorgc playing bad on purpose? I'm checking out his stream for the first time in a year or so, wasn't he ranked 200? he's just so bad now
>>537419218definitely not a new phenomenon hes been bad for quite awhile
have been breaking even every day for the entire weekwin 2, lose 2, win 4, lose 4what the hell is going on
>>537436731spirit gonna choke for sure now
>>537374786Dota's having a quick weekend event for 1 mil in Chengdu later this year.But yeah, they nuked TI on purpose. I think a lot of pro players and managers told them that they basically think they're one of the big reasons people love spending it up on TI, and Valve decided to actually check that by removing profit sharing from hats.TI is now entirely funded by esports related spend and people do NOT spend money on esports.
>>537438491fuck greedy pros
>>537419218i think his gf broke up with him and he's self-destructing
sex with hoodwink
Remove marci and hoodwink from the game
Add hookers and blow to the game
>ringmasterwhy don't I see this nigga ever
>>537440194nerfed too hard
>>537440194They should remove that failure. Just a dumb nudota creation that should have been aborted.
>>537440715return green bombs to techies...
>>537440194Box is his only good spell. Knives are okay for lane and the potion is decent in early fights. Everything else he does is genuinely borderline useless.
>ehhehehehhehehh nyx nyyyyyyx
>take 3 week "break" from the game>valve thinks its cool that in 6-0 random streak I go I get 400mmrthis system is so fucked, so when my luck runs out I have to suck like 20 games in a row. in what goddamn universe they think if you have no time to play the game for few weeks your rank confidence or w/e goes from 100% (after 50 matches a week) into 75%???Im acc buying without actually buying an acc.
>win one>next game is a complete stomp against us>win the other one>my team throws ultra hard in the most retarded of ways that not even a chimp would do >Win-Loss-Win-LossNice matchmaking valve. totally not rigged to keep those engagement metrics.
>>537445713I'm experiencing the same. been breaking even everyday for days now
>>537446062it is a known fact that when you are past the 50% on your rank medal, the matches get ultra hardthe rank up match is like the highest possible difficulty, not because the enemy is good, but because your team is set up so you have to solo carry ourself out of that match which 90% is impossible.the system is made for boosters who macro.
>>537446353>it is a known fact>says some bullshit
>>537446353I get one game where everything goes smooth, it's a win with an alright teamnext game teammates pick weird stuff, go afk early at the slight inconveniencerepeat a few times til I'm too tiltedit's been this week. Idk what happened it's like the matchmaking just turned dogshit
Man these threads are just at deaths door now huh
>>537448328wdym? posters discussing the gameposters discussing ti
>>537448328join the /d2g/ inhouse then

Will we get sticky this year
>>537449476holy based is there more
>>537455335How could there possibly be more
>>537455517wtf do you mean post more hoodshit torture
>>537455591
>valve adding a 50% speed boost to medusa ult mid game to fuck me over
Leaguechads are laughing at us...
>>537448718CAN YOU POST WHAT INHOUSE MEANS
>>537461382in my house nigga, come on over!
I was thinking here and I realized what valve is doing, valve is going to make 2 maps for dota, we have this expanded map now with all the extra camps and outer terrain and we have the classic dota map that is like 25% shorter than this, they will at some point bring back the older map, keeping the changes they've done in the inner part of the map and when you queue for a match you'll get in a game and it'll be 50/50 whether you get the expanded map or the normal map and you'll have to have a hero pool for each map, as we know, global heroes and heroes that jump around like mk are much better in the expanded map but wouldn't be on the normal map
where does mason live? why is his ping so bad to EU? it's almost as bad as mine and I'm south american
>>537462815north america
>play shadow shaman>genuinely have funI like this little shaman person, makes dota 2 more fun after coming back from a 4 year break.
>>537462853if valve weren't so fucking worthless they could do what amateur warcraft 3 devs did and enabled a newly built overseas cable to connect SA to EU and improve connections by a lot
hey we are merging with /lolg/ since both our threads are dead
>>537465363we don't associate with the subhumans from /lolg/, sorry
>>537463632wow, is that why my ping in wow private server has been so low recently?
>>537465992I think the devs need to manually route the traffic through the new cable, called ella_link, for it to work, if your devs did that (I doubt) then surethis cable was done in 2021 so it's much faster than the old cables made in the 80s
>>537455138don't worry anon I'll make sure you get something sticky
>>537465363Lol should have merged the whole genre into one general
>>537463481I save my tornado for faggots like you.
>>537466231You can also ask your ISP to pay for the cable probably. Seems like it's not very popular or the way it's operated is not standard because I would've assumed it will automatically be enabled for everything.
>>537465363pride
>>537466781This but unironically, I want to circlejerk with HoN and HotS bros over our shared disdain of lolbabs
lmao the behavior system is so fucked, it took me forever to finally get an overwatch penalty and the punishment is a slap on the wrist.it's a shame nu-dota has been solved because it would be a perfect time to experiment in pubs
>about to win a 90 minute game>the worst fucking venge swap in all of human history causes me to whiff my sheepstick while simultaneously bringing their carry directly into the middle of our team>we wipe and lose immediately afterthere needs to be a special ultra report that automatically sends someone to lp for several years
>>537478109losing a won game because your venge is fucking retarded is practically a dota tradition! one that happens way too often now because of faggots picking her for her gay retarded aghs (also practically a dota tradition)
The SEA server has the highest skill ceiling of any server heralds play like Ancient level on any other server
these 2 videos will take you from the shitter mmr to immortal unironicallyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5-bSAeid5shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S36M3EIADCo
can you solo the tormentor in the late game? what are the rules around it?
>>537480960just pick troll
>>537443851lmao box is not only his worst spell but also a contender for the worst spell in the game
>buy dota pulse>queue time doubles??
>>537465363>hey can we merge with the interracial porn generalhard pass
>>537448808It is and we need more of it
>>537479446I believe this, I have been stuck at 2100 forever but whenever I feel like a guaranteed win I just queue Aus.
does vengeful spirits lvl 10 talent +150 enemy damage give her that shield AND would it also work on allies shields or is it just enemy damage?i doubt the wiki would say
man I'm so fucking sick and tired of windows, if I had an amd gpu I'd move to linux today, but I don't so I have to endure all these shitty pings my firewall does because microsoft is trying to send data to their server, it's so tiresome one day it gets to you>>537482756what are you even trying to say
>>537483573how many hours of dota do you have
>>537483781less than you, the talent just gives 150 more damage, it's written there
>>537483857You can try it in the in game demo mode
>>537484036i should do this more. it says enemy damage but it does it for all shield/damage
>>537413585 i wish i had ti map skins
>>537487167I have all of them and I don't use them because my laptop pulls 20 fps on lowest
I don't care about meta, I play the heroes I LIKE to play, I will play gyro, luna, drow, venge, qop offlane, veno 5, I don't care.
>>537487167you can pirate them all without consequence.
I was watching a day9 video a few months back and he kept talking about dota, he still plays the game but he doesnt stream it because his audience is all normie old people at this point, but he's still one of us
>>537489975They should invite him to TI again
my pubshyuk
what happened to the gorp lost channel wtf
imagine how annoying it is for valve when they change the map they have to update all 8 maps they made for TIs
>>537493797lmao
>enemy drafter is afk>gets a bunch of random players>free +35 game
>>537483573Nvidia works great on linux nowadays
When did they make it so that tangos are limited like wards and blood grenades? Why?
>>537413365Well, niggers?

>TI in 3 days>check teams>barely recognize anyone>don't know how 80% of the new items workI miss Alliance/Navi rivalry
God is torturing me
I wish every single rusnig dies painfully
AUTUMN TERRAIN IS HERE6 MONTHS OF FUCKING NOTHING NOW KINO 2 SEASONS
>>537501140>Alliance/Navi rivalry>rivalry Lmao
Game is so busted i queued up to buy greaves and bought 2 chain mails before i died and it doesnt register i look another chain mail queued up im like fuck this shit re queue the item and it responds correctly.fucked up shithole pajeet cloaca game
>>537374786>lower than ti3It's joever.
>>537505357vgh... a retvrn to tradition....
>>537505357Now adjust that shit for inflation and it's even lower.
How come ceb only has 1-2k viewers but Topson peaks at 14k?
1 purple trash and 4 blue shit, with the level 100 skin being a blue sven dogshit. Dont think you are getting anything of value outside of the guaranteed LC skin off this event
>>537482756you could have spent literally 20 seconds in the demo to figure this out, yes it does make the shield larger
>>537509509viewbots>14k viewers>chat is totally open for everyone to chat in>like 8 messages per minute.
Shouldn't they have released the schedule for TI by now, I know it's on the 4th but what time does it start and who is playing who
>forced to draft three games in a rowwhy am I being punished
>>537517134get reday for >everyday pgl
>masive banwave of viewbots on twitch>gorp can't even break 5k viewers (which are probably still botted a bit)lol
a decade later and valve hasn't added "missing lane" and other voice lines for all heroes. why is that? no profit compared to zero effort hats?
>>537519070some of the VA for dota heroes passed away and they probably don't want to recast them
TI soon, my oglodi. Best format yet.
>>537505357They keep fucking whiffing with their TI monetization.I care about "The International," not really any of the teams or talent. I might buy a voiceline or whatever, but I care about the tournament most of all because of how special it is.So far they have failed to produce anything that I might want to buy related to that. I mean, this year's fantasy is actually great, but it's free..
>>537521532Reddit didn't like how "predatory" the battlepasses were
>forced to draft>lose
so anyone gonna do a cum tribute on the altar of those $500 QoP statues?
>>537527001Show the statue.
>rtz in my gameoh no
>>537527218super pixelated image on secret shop websitelegs looking tight, I wonder tho if that ass is phatcum needs to flow
>>537528089How the fuck is the image so shit. Anyway, I'd expect a decent quality out of 1:7 for 500.
>>537528647Not sure how they fucked it up or why they think that's acceptable quality for an official site
>7 mins to finds a gameon fucking sea...we are fucking dead, are we. even the d2g tag we have to share it with fucking brown dust
>won against rtz>he's madlol
>>537531191it's over... (for dota 2)
>>537531191>on fucking seaValve just need to bring dota to mobile.
I have messed up in the strangest way>go back to dota after a decade long hiatus >tell my friends I would only queue with them to avoid getting addicted again>follow the rule for 10 months, Im a bad player so consistenly terrible K/D and player damage>on a moment of weakness decide to solo queue in secret to get a bit better>get my first ever deathless game where I carried the game as pos 3 with 22 killsI dont want my friends to know I broke my promise. Im afraid of queueing with them now because if I get showcased before the match it will for sure show the last game K/D as a highlight, so I will have to play a new match to cover it up. Worst of all is that this is a huge achievement for me and I wont ever speak about it with them.
>>537535078uhh just play more? Why can't you play alone?
>>537535813I can and I will, I just wanted to tell someone about it. Gotta love that no matter how long it passes, the core of the game is still so fun (and addicting)
>>537535078>>537536829option 1: tel them you let your cousin who is actually good at the game play on your accountoption 2: dont be a faggot and come clean towards ur friends that u broke ur rule
>>537536829You just confuse addiction and uncertainty mechanics for fun because you're low iq, same as everyone still playing this
>addicted>to video gamesNot possible.
>>537483573If it makes you feel any better, the Linux client for this game is truly awful. It's ironically one of Steam's worst native Linux ports.
I expect great things, dotards.
I have no idea how to farm on Drow

wassup d2g bros. whos gonna take TI this year? What is the fresh meme meta?
>>537551231>don't use cyrillics >still act like a retard that refuses to use bonglishInstantly circumventable. There's no point. The only solution is for steam to shadowtrack IPs and regionlock clients regardless of the VPN, if that's even possible. After that you set up lobbies based on their ping and region in the ascending order. >if 10 clients are found within <20ms range - success>if not - expand to <30ms range and so onIt wouldn't really fix much in regions where the game is dead though and not that many play it outside of EEU anyway.

Think we'll get another 3-0 Grandfinals again? Hope we don't end up with a boring EEU vs EEU either but I can see Spirit and Paravision making it
>>537580335Hopefully Tundra will perform well with their standin.
>>537580335Liquid or Falcons are most likely to face Spirit I'd say. Personally I'm rooting for Tidebound or XG because the scene needs some non-EU Dota but they are definitely unlikely options.
Someone post their fantasy shit and whatnot for me. I don't keep up with the troon-sports and haven't even really played Dota much in the last year or so. I just want a somewhat possible chance at one of the purple versions of the immortals and I guess the arcana even though nothing looks good.

thoughts on one of the best (if not the best) carry player being trans?
I got a very weird question, how did icefrog stay hidden for 2 decades? I want to learn that.
>>537602069He didn't, name is Abdul Ismael he is Pakistani
>>537602069he hid in plain sight, Bruno changed his legal name to Abdul Ismail
How does it look bwos.
Just got a turbo game where my carry is legend and the enemy carrry is fucking immortal 500. Pointless fucking game. It really says a lot about the state of the game and how many people are left playing when they have to make matchmaking have a 4k mmr variance. Insane.>b-b-but turboKys before you run your mouth rankedtards. Dota's soul was instantly killed when ranked was added, but I guess you leaguetier newfags weren't even there to begin with.
>>537602209>>537603825That lack of ego, I really like icefrog for that, I think icefrog is a woman, she fear being raped and harass.
>>537605776It is a form of gate keeping, they dont want you to learn what they do in higher tier, it's weird that way. Because if you are used to playing with retards from herald, you need to switch it up when you are playing at immortal, i would know because I tried playing at both.
>>537607542>I think icefrog is a woman>designs a fairly complex gamelol lmao even
>>537609835also>woman>lack of egothanks for the chuckle i guess
>>537602069That faggot Pendragon exposed him
>>537602069>>537610106No wait, the other league faggot. Pheak I think
>>537610224He got exposed via lawsuit.
Is Doom just fucking unplayable in pubs now? I want to play him because I think he's fun but the hero has like a 42% winrate and gets nerfed every patch and it fucking sucks. I just want to play Doom I don't care if he's too good in pro games.
>>537605048Looks like a disaster dude
>>537609835>>537609942It is much more interesting to think icefrog is a woman, firstly because she values her own safety, if icefrog is a guy, he will probably not care that much, in fact, he wouldn't even have a name called icefrog, he will just run it under a corporation, a faceless corporation. That's what they are doing now, for blackrock, vanguard group, etc. So think about it, icefrog is probably a woman. And only a woman will design a game that requires "balance" via nerfing, on top of the behavior score, it's those little things she does, annoying things that women does, the way she design, they way she made sure the art direction of the characters, especially female characters, look feminine enough but not sexy, there's this woman's pride too, and on top of the careful, I will go as far as to say, loving attention to details to the maps, each little tree she plants, that kind of thing is very feminine, look at every hero, all their lines clearly written by a woman, and artfully executed by voice actors. That's at least what I feel, even the splash art is not sexual enough. Look at LOL, League is definitely created by a men and for men, their splash art, to speak for all men, mildly lust inducing and definitely sexy, makes you want to buy their skin. It also sells better, but icefrog have dignity, she don't want to sell skin based on how sexy it is, she wants it to be colorful, powerful-looking, magical even, the more I think about it, the more I am certain that icefrog is a woman.
>>537613981Why bwo, how do I make it better.
>>537600527I hope the keep the water in the top and bottom lanes though.
>>537614083Have you been watching any pro Dota this year?
>>537614332I know Nigma is awful and Team spirit will win, Brothers or whatever is GG getting fucked so they probably suck, Liquid has the forehead and Tundra is always solid. Boom will do something. How does your looks.
>>537614014>. Look at LOL, League is definitely created by a men and for men, their splash art, to speak for all men, mildly lust inducing and definitely sexy, makes you want to buy their skin. It also sells better, but icefrog have dignity, she don't want to sell skin based on how sexy it is, she wants it to be colorful, powerful-looking, magical even, the more I think about it, the more I am certain that icefrog is a woman.League is by far the more popular game with women though (I mean League is more popular in general but it's especially disproportionate with women). The reality is that sexy character designs are also something many women want so long as they're also portrayed as powerful and confident rather than submissive bimbos for porn addicts to salivate over.
How come you can still buy Crownfall treasures?
>>537615035They've been moving on from FOMO stuff thankfully.
what if they made a Refresher Orb upgrade that made it so it refreshes the items and abilities of all your teammates?
the 3 new rolls kinda saved my fantasy team
>>537613071doom has terrible win rate because ever doom picker is literally retarded
>>537614748Yes, because sex sells, even to women. But the thing is, icefrog don't believe in it. And I think only women, in particular, feminist women does that.
dota will never be a coomer game chud, it'll always be an actual good game instead
>>537616110The issue is all the sexy skins are locked behind arcana or are simply unobtainable. Why the fuck valve refuses to update some of the base models is beyond me, it's a really bad look for new players and people not immediately super invested in the game
>TA decides to buyback and try to 1v5 the enemy team>dies>Game is still winnable>TA is mad at her own stupidity and decides to afk>lose
>>537616110Icefrog doesn't do visual design you fucking inbred
>>537605048LOL my nigga you are cooked if you keep that shit
>>537617217So icefrog outsource visuals to a woman? SOURCE?>>537616249i still feel icefrog is a woman because sex sells, and only a woman will not make sure the game uses all the sexual feminine energy.
>>537605048wildcard won't win a single game
>>537617726>>537616110>>537614014brown ass fucking posts quit this website please
>>537616617Unironically this is a case where League does it better, having entirely desperate skins means you can modify the base model without needing to worry about breaking people's hats. And yeah, being able to mix and match sets is cool but I'm willing to be 90% of people just use whole sets as they are.Look at how terrible almost every Razor set looks when combined with his arcana, now imagine if his arcana was a full remodel that you couldn't just turn off and all those old sets became basically unusable. People would riot.
>>537615647So how do you play him not retardedly? He has a terrible winrate at high ranks too.

>>537630079Does the LC really have an item to pop Linkens and then use Nullifier on you and then Duel you all before you can press the Satanic/BKB button? There is no item in Dota that can save a Nullified ally, so if you don't have a hero like Shadow Demon to save you then you just buy Satanic and Skadi and hope you survive.

They should bring back radiance naga
the neutral item change is by far the worst shit they changed, I see streamers play the game and they all open the neutral shop and stare at it for 10 seconds making a decision even though they have been playing the game with it for like 6 monthsit is clearly way too fucking convoluted if players need to think this hard to make that decision and should be reverted
they should remove neutral shitems already
Have unironically won 10 and got a higher MMR than ever before after only 11 games in Aus servers
>>537633298It's actually too simple and should be made more convoluted
>>537633449not happening, neutral items is yet another "we have to make the game end faster" valve decision and if they could they'd make every game last 30 minutes max

>>537629081>and then, once the game is launched and established they'll work on updates for both of themPeople are rightfully worried about Dota ending up like TF2 where Valve abandons it as soon as they get a new hit game.
>>537636434Bro it's been abandoned for years
>>537636623Dota still gets content updates, Crownfall was a bigger event than anything in the past. The frequency of updates has slowed down but we still aren't at dead game levels yet. We could be after Deadlock releases if it does well.

Why is Magnus allowed to have the best repositioning skill in the game on top of having a free battlefury for your carry and one of the best teamfight ults?
>>537662378best repositioning skill could arguably be concussive grenade
>>537663452or hook
>>537659669blink and shard is all you need on him to go beast mode
>>537662378Pudge Hook is better since Pudge can throw it for free without risking himself, it works on allies, it works through BKB, it can kill big creeps/catapults, does Pure damage, etc.
>>537664221It's 10x harder to hit a good hook than skewer though.
Quick dotards we need to start cleaning so we can receive all the guests for TI!
>>537668990We need to post more Hoodwinks
>>537667829On an enemy it can be if there's no setup for the Hook, but the enemy's allies can stop Magnus.On the other hand even if there's setup for the Skewer the Magnus can still be interrupted and killed. A simple Euls/Orchid pre-clicked on the Magnus will work for any hero if you're not playing something like Lion/Shaman/Rubick/Silencer/etc. that could stop the Magnus. Magnus then needs Linkens/BKB to reliably Skewer vs that.Hook is the best repositioning skill because it also works on allies and through BKB. It works through Chronosphere, Black Hole, etc. and the only counter to stop Pudge from saving his ally is bodyblocking the Hook itself (which will possibly result in the death of the sacrificial bodyblocker).
>>537670172How do you precast
>>537669939Hoodwink posters are getting locked in the basement during TI so they don't embarrass us again
>>537671136Hoodwink posts are the best posts though
>>537670881It's when you use an skill/item on an enemy hero that is out of range of the skill/item.An example is if the enemy took Aegis and will probably push into your base. Place an Observer Ward on the low ground in a good spot outside of your base. When the enemy team arrives, stand a bit further back and use Eules/Hex/Orchid/etc on the Magnus (that is likely sitting a bit back and waiting to initiate) and your hero will move towards him to get in range. Then you stop and move a bit backwards again, and use it on Magnus again and repeat that. If Magnus blinks into your base he will place himself in range of your Euls/Hex/etc. and will get instantly disabled (and will call you a cheater and report you for scripting).If the Magnus is smoked, or if for example you're the team pushing highground but have no vision of the Magnus, you can spam click your Hex/Euls/etc. on your carry that is hitting the tier3 so if the Magnus blinks on him to Skewer you'll instantly disable him.This doesn't work if the Magnus pre-used his BKB before blinking in, or if he has Linkens and you don't have another ability to stop him when it pops.On the other hand, a Pudge can throw and miss Hook again and again and lose nothing, if he eventually hits it your ally is dead.
>>537671669>>537670881>If the Magnus is smoked, or if for example you're the team pushing highground but have no vision of the Magnus, you can spam click your Hex/Euls/etc. on your carry that is hitting the tier3 so if the Magnus blinks on him to Skewer you'll instantly disable him
furfaggots get the gas
>>537674152kino
Maybe it's time to quit boys. Down to Ancient 2 from Divine 1.Had the worst draft in the history of dota, 0 ability to kill any enemy hero, Silencer didn't hit level 6 until 16 minutes into the game. My side lanes lost so hard we got trapped in our base at 15 minutes.
>forced to pick 1st phase as a support or get 4 reports even though heroes like qop, furion, dawnbreaker, axe, etc. can be picked 1st phase as cores and are free wins>pick bane>one of the enemy supports picked something like ringmaster/abaddon/zeus/rubickHow do high mmr players play bane? Do they not pick it 1st phase? I played vs a ringmaster and the only time I got to use my ult for more than 0.5 seconds was if I ulted ringmaster.
>>537646072Neutral items being random is such an awful mechanic considering how powerful they are and forever unbalanced
>>537675167I was 7k when Crownfall ended, took a break and started playing again in July and went down to 6k. I hate this new map.

>>537676374Skycuck mage is stronger for sure. not sure if in OP territory but he fucks before team starts getting bkbs.Shard is literal rush tier now.

can anyone remind me about sites like dotagiftx? this shid is bretty expensive.
>>537687706ESL-kun I...
>>537675167happens im telling you once you hit a new rank all the bad games hit you at once you will climb out of it and the biggest thing is you were probably tilt queuing
>>537675167the game is actually harder to play now because of the map being bigger and richer there are unironically more than 1 way to winback when the map was figured out, you'd escape the dead lane after the laning phase and play between the other 2 lanes, keep them pushed and wait for pick off to get rosh or more objectives things were much simplernow there's so much money on the fucking map you could play around the edges all game and shove lanes while having a support idiot mid nuking waves and the game could take forever to end, it's just weirdI guess that's why people play MK a lot now, you just move so fast on the map with tree jump you absorb more of the map's wealthI think this is a patch when every support should actually be very greedy and farm a lot, but of course they should farm the risky gold not the safe and they'll never do that because they are all braindead
>>537675248Bane's ulti is just like Crystal Maiden's ulti, you need to either wait for someone else to initiate, the enemy to waste some disables and then use it and/or buy bkb (though some spells will pierce bkb, like silencer's ulti), if i'm not wrong his aghs also makes it very hard for the enemy team to interrupt your ulti since you spawn clones that will keep channeling the ulti even if you move. He is also very strong early and keeps being one of the strongest position 5 heroes throughout a game since his ulti pierces bkb, he can literally take out two heroes out of a teamfight alone in the right situation.

>>537702806>Valve's last like 4 games have all just been chasing trends.Deadlock has the exact opposite problem here, it's a novel game but it filters too many people. The game isn't even out of closed alpha yet and it's already been skill crept to hell.

>>537716016just be 20 years younger
>>537716460no
>>537722020Crownfall was just some shit they had in their reserves, maybe they have something else in their reserves too
>>537716460they should be i need big gameplay changes new map maybe slightly smaller we know a new hero might be coming
This seems pretty good. I dont know how to reroll the lotus thing but if he grabs one its a shit ton of points.
>>537697918Why do you guys have so much faith on a team that didnt even qualify.
>play normally, don't comm abuse, win majority of my matches>behavior score trickles down>grief a game purely out of boredom>no changesWhat does Valve actually want from me?
>>537723679valve wants you to be human but it's impossible
>first year I can be a paypig>surely i will get that aegis>simply buying it doesn't sound so attractive instead of earning it with BP levelsman what a bummer
I miss the comfyness we got with the coof bwos
>>537727640Me too...
>>537727640don't worry, drumpf you stage another pandemic in 2 years like he did in his previous term and use it to destroy democracy once and for all and force every mutt to learn hebrew
>>537728246will stage*, I don't proofread, that's for fags
Why is mega meepo still in the game? This shit is impossible to deal with. I told valve how to fix him forever ago, picking up a meepo should be like a 2 second channel, and damaging him should peel off a meepo after a certain threshold. He should have Fatal bonds like status to him, not 8000 HP and 80 Armor, so the damage is just spread across the meepos while he's in that state. At least no one ever picks him really.
>>537716460Maybe. In the document where they discussed creating nest of thorns, they seemed very passionate about it and how fun it was to create.
>>537728917I'm still playing that and am addicted to it, I tried out Vampire survivor, but it's like objectively worse in comparison.
>>537728718Why don't you just play him yourself? The best way to get valve to change something is to abuse the shit out of it.
>>537729032>The best way to get valve to change something is to abuse the shit out of it.not to defend the bitch boy but by that logic boosters should have gotten meepo/brood/etc completely reworked by now
>>537728991The said in the document they knew were on to something when the other valve staff all got addicted too. Probably why it took so long for them to finish act iv, too busy "testing" lol.

any videos on farming patterns on this map? it's so big I don't know where should I be farming
what mmr are you immortal in NA? low 6k?
>>537731663Aw for fucks sake.
First day of TI sucks ass, not a single good match
>>537732914CN vs slavs will be good matches
>>537732109The safe fast way to farm I've seen is for Dire the top right two camps above top lane, then the two low ground main jungle camps closest to the T2, that brings you back through the lane so you can wave clear to add to your farm (twice if you do it on the way down), you just run through it clockwise and can clear it every minute (potentially getting both top waves).
>>537732914BB vs Nigmer
NA is really fucking dead, the streamers are all shit, this is like HoN levels of dead, I'm surprised it got so bad in like 1 year, last year it was fine
>>537735643They all play on EU now
>>537732914The 1st and 7th are the two to watch. Chance of good games in 4 and 8 too.
>>537735867I meant streamers, this is completely barren, although pubs are probably also dead in the region
Why is there no prize for the most suckiest team, apparently they share the prizepool with the other teams who at least managed to win one series
>>537737017there should be no prizes for who loses every single game
I'm hopeful, I think it's going to be a great TI, I'm going to start playing again, really hope Valve announces something cool for us like another crownfall-like event.
>>537735643>this is like HoN levels of deadImagine the HoN remaster being more alive in NA when it drops.
>>537732914aurora vs XG ame vs nightfalltide vs navi underrated one is falcons vs nem funny one if you just want to watch NA get smashed out then TS vs wildtrash
>>537716016just go workout
Are there seasonal mmr resets?

Escape act is genuinely the worst spell in the game
>>537747334No, its nature grasp. Damage of wet noodle.Wide as virgin cunt. Does nothing past 6 minute.
>>537747334>a save that makes the target invulnerable is the worst spell in the gamelol
>>537748231>a save that makes the target invulnerableBut it doesn't?
>>537748507Basically invulnerable, he can't be targeted with right clicks and gives the same amount of magic resistance as bkb if not higher, the only issue with the spell is the short range but aether lens is a good item to get on Ringmaster anyway

I am learning how to play Leshrac. So far, it's not going well, I'm killing towers early and getting tons of kills but invariably I start to fall off and die a lot. What's the right way to stay relevant late game?
>>537750421have you tried ring of repick
do you think putting hotd cs to 90s would be enough of a nerfi don't want it to become too weak, i think it would be cool if outside of just being a summoner item it could also be a help item for cores that suck dick at jungling early
Fuck I hate having such a low comms score, just had to sit through 55 minutes of some retard Lich calling me shit because I didn't come push the dire bot t2 tower when ravage was on cd and the enemy team was alive even though I spammed get back, he just kept telling everyone to report me for griefing, we won ofc since this server is a joke but holy shit just shut the fuck up and stop feeding
>>537750421This is also my experience with heroes like Leshrac and Krobelus, they just don't scale like Puck and QoP.
>>537739749did you not play for a whilerank confidence goes down after some time. you're still at the same rank though games are like +/-40mmr instead of 25 (or more idk)
>>537750421I have the opposite experience with him. Early game I try to fight and keep getting killed, but late game if I get fat and am almost unstoppable
>>537750421I've been having good success playing Lesh pos4. Wouldn't know about him mid though
>>537758280That is, with items like bloodstone, s&k, ww, eternal shroud and shard
>>537758025are you a low T beta male? just fucking mute him, jesus how could anyone just sit there and keep taking insults from some low IQ retard
sometimes you just have to mute all 9 other players for the first 30 minutes just to get your game rightsometimes you mute your lane partner at the slight verbal spazz out from himsometimes you just play on anonymous mode for weeks on end but arguing in chat or voice with a drunk polish freak is never the answer
>>537758279oh that sucks
>>537758974no it's good now you just play dawnbreaker and lifestealer and go up in rank easy
>>537758496I didn't mute him because I hoped he would seethe at my "well played" spam whenever he died.
>>537759795No wonder your score is low

How is your fantasy thing? This is the best I could get; got fucked on the last reroll.
>>537772251nta, this gameplay is really spazzy, i dont know why people are comparing deadlock to overwatch. I'll tell you a bit about this game but im not an expertYou dont pick a hero like in league/dota/whatever. You create a roster of at least 3 heroes and can assign them priority levels. The game will give you one of the heroes randomly, so obviously if you like a hero thats popular you won't be getting it often. There is a resurgance in the playerbase because the devs have released 6 heroes at once across the last 2 weeks, if you want to play 1 of them you still need to select 3 older heroes, good luck trying to play them. So now, what's dota known for? It's a hard game, but why is it hard? It requires not only knowledge, but also the ability to stay focused and keep trying to make the best decisions possible at a given time. Unlike League, you can't expect to have success by blindly following someone else's build, you need to think which items are needed for the current game. And Deadlock is like that too, but on top of that, there are mechanics like aiming and the movement stuff. So you still need to farm (and unlike Dota, you need to aim at the creeps and shoot them, though you dont have to last hit them at least), still have to care about denies, think about macro, whether to farm a lane or the jungle, ask yourself if you should be splitting off and farming or staying with your team as a possible teamfight is looming AND ON TOP OF THAT, you need to have a somewhat decent aim (shooting is a very important thing in this game, it's not like a moba in that regard, the spells can be strong but it isn't dota) and some mechanical movement skill. You have stamina which can be used to dash/double jump/combo these two, everyone is dashing around all the time which makes shooting harder, it's not static like cs.I'd write about itemization but my post is too long, it's more like Dota where you have to think on the fly and buy counter items

>>537780314tomorrow
>>537779581it's full of normies now, i think the streamers came back to this game after the 6 hero update. They will probably leave after a while
>>537777191>>537777230ty I'll try that, it's retarded how they spend all game complaining about the 1 role when every other role has way more impact in pubs.
>>537774796>You dont pick a hero like in league/dota/whatever. You create a roster of at least 3 heroes and can assign them priority levels. The game will give you one of the heroes randomly,I assumed this was just a placeholder while there aren't enough heroes for a proper drafting system.
>>537774796>ow comparisonin that it burns you out from stimulation overload, if you ever played OW at atleast a masters level you would understand how fucking fast paced things are. Adding active items on top of that and moba macro makes it even more over the top.

>>537798590I've had 2 recent NP carries, both failed miserably to do anything
>>537801517they require tight team play to take advantage of those timingsnot easily done in pubs
I can't believe it's 2025 and PL remains the hardest carry, just takes forever to come online.If Necro bought a BKB at any point this game would have been a lot easier. Came back against mega creeps due to a bunch of fountain skewers and WW ultis. Enemy mess around too much and lion got some pick offs with his 30 stacks of finger of death.

6/7 of my last games we've lost 2 or 3 lanes in each of them. Somehow we were able to make 3 comebacks, I probably would have quit dota today if not for that. But WTF am I supposed to do as a carry when I have to jungle at level 4 or 5 nearly every game? My supports always abandon even or winning lanes to go gank before I even get 1 item, or we just lose outright to better early heros. Do I just start picking retarded pos 1 heros that can always get something out of lane?

>>537861025Like is there any 3rd non active item for any role? Im struggling to get even 2.
>>537861171didn't notice it at all, oh well, too late now
>>537860754I'm 4k but I had many low mmr friends so I have a theory in three parts.People obviously differ in cognitive abilities. When you play you keep track of a bunch of things which leads you to do actions. Like oh shit my health is low need to ferry a salve or a set of tangos. Or you know that the enemy has a spell off cooldown so you don't stand too close. This is part one. People who can handle a lesser cognitive load will parse these things slower or not at all.Second part is a similar thing but on a bigger scale: formulating a plan long term. It's no news that less intelligent people tend to not think ahead, extreme of which is something like broke trash people getting a payday loan to get a gucci belt. When you play Dota you're supposed to think ahead like, enemy Lion is about to hit 6 so before he does I'll back off and jungle a bit until I see him on the map and know he won't threaten me. My 500 mmr ass friend would instead do retard shit like play Riki and chase a Lion into highground just to die to 4 people.And part three is simple mechanics, how fast you press your shit etc.All of it adds up in how well you play the game and how you can react to any situation in it.I talked about intelligence but it can also be lack of caring, either by having enough fun as they already play the game so they don't feel a push to improve or think about it, or the opposite, not feeling like they would have much more fun if they were better.

>>537505357i stop playing dotait doesmy bad guys
reminder TI10 sound track is the best in the game and still costs cents on the markethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWM1PEVUKMQ
>>537505357>>537521532>>537521614It's ok, Deadlock will release, flop pathetically, and all the bonus-hungry fags at Valve will chase the Dota bag again.
>>537858227Reroll quality at the very least, too much low tiers.
>>537860754Making big mistakes basically every game, like picking the wrong items, being too aggressive in many situations, not understanding the importance of vision, just casting spells at random in general, its rare to see an herald conserving its mana in the laning stage for example, often they dont't even buy regen items.
>>537860754herald players are literally kids or people that alt tab and leave the game all the time, there are no functional human beings in the herald bracket
>>537861749I get tribes ascend vibe of deadlock. Even tribes had engi class for slowbrains like me, i dont think deadlock has anything for older players.
>>537861289I'm also a 4K player and even with my 4K scrub coaching my friends were able to get into Guardian. Obviously not everyone has an experienced friend to coach them but literally anyone could just go watch a BSJ video or any of the other guides by Immortal players and learn how to play the game unless they are actually intellectually disabled.>>537861834I don't know, going by what I see in those Jenkins video (which granted will be biased towards wackier shit, but still) I'm pretty sure literally anyone could break out of Herald if they just looked up a normal item build and a basic guide on how to play lane. It just doesn't make sense unless they're literally just not trying, but in that case why the hell are you complaining about your teammates?
>>537862521There's also failure to understand concepts that might seem basic to you. Things that should be obvious like "enemy team is dead so let's push towers." Heralds will go jungle instead because it's closer.
>>537861834even 4ks do this shit though. heralds are something else entirely, they literally just play TDM and don't care about winning
>>537859836i got bad rerolls on blue emblems
>>537862641Sure, but that's a mistake people make in my bracket too, that alone isn't going to keep you in Herald.
you used to be able to click on the guy's portrait in game while spectating and see what hats the guy has, they removed it
>>537863216I found it, you have to open the score screen now
which match do i watch in an hour?
you watch games now and even the support in the losing team has 2 full itens by minute 25 having like 40 csinflation killed dota's soul
>>537863308Team Zpirit vs the mutts
Man, dota is such a fun game, I should've sticked with it, fucking stupid gachas, they lure you in and rob your soul, they are not fun at all, it's just FOMO and disappointment.
>>537864250they should remake dota with gacha anime girls as every hero

>>537505357I still remember valve announcing TI1 million dollar prizepool and everyone thought it wasn't real. Good times
was watching a pub in game and qop used her poison aoe on a bunch of enemies and put them all on deny range and a griefing WK showed up and denied 2 people from his team and I almost had a heart attack laughing
>>537864924unfathomably based
uhmmm wheres our live?
I'm a bit confused about arcanas. Can you only get them through events, chests and buying on the market, or is there a way to earn some through leveling up a hero or some shit?
>>537864924https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxMRMcxAQM0
>2025>still no black player at TIhttps://www.twitch.tv/blackmeier/clip/PiercingLachrymosePeafowlWow
>>537863308I think the only competitive series will be XG vs Aurora
>>537865231As far as i know arcanas are in the drop pool, at least they were some time ago, but since drops are so incredible rare (like 1 or 2 items per year) in all practical sense they are buy only item.
>>537865286dominic black nigger meier can't even get 100 viewers on twitch nowadays
>>537865231There are "store" arcanas, i.e. can just buy them for $30 or whatever the price is, you can see the list of those when you click on the fantasy rewards thing in the menu -> arcana token. When an event says that you can drop an arcana as a rare reward, it only means those.There are exclusive arcanas which you cannot get, they were high level rewards in old battle passes, advertised with "you will never be able to acquire this after the battle pass ends", Io arcana is like that.Then there are "exclusive" arcanas, these were also battle pass rewards, untradable, unmarketable, but they never had the disclaimer which means Valve is free to rerun those. And they did, they put WK and Windranger in some winter chests, and they can be traded and sold on the market.
>>537860754>How do you even become a Herald player?My teammates keep fucking me over so I end up trapped in Herald.
>>537862521You are massively underestimating how impulsive and impatient many people are. They could watch a video, they could do the tutorials, but they insist on jumping straight into the game and "learning" through just playing over and over. That shit works for simple games that are mostly muscle memory like a fps, but they cannot grasp that that approach doesn't work for Dota..
>>537865628There are people from whom that genuinely works, they don't do analysis, they just play like maniacs and they become prodigies, if they don't go pro they still end up with like 12k mmr at like 15 years old.Fuck those people.
>>537865627Even if you only play support you should get out of Herald if you just understand the game flow well, basically stop blaming teammates
Last TI i watched seriously was 9, who are /ourguys/ these days?
>>537865848The people who claim getting out of Low Elo is easy have never actually been in Low Elo

>>537865887actually, it's Xtreme, we need china to win this time
WHY ISN'T IT LIVE
Why are the RUs streaming and we aren't?
>>537865704Sure, but for every one person like that there 50 people that remain fucking useless repeating the same mistakes over and over
>>537865939It's easier than trying to climb from literally any other level
>>537866053it is so over, 3 day live event and no stream for hotel parts.
>>537866331we used to have pre-ti streams on james 2GD harding's mansion for a week before TI
Hopefully I can watch the matches in the game client, I like being able to switch around the hero views and participate in the chat, I don't care if there is a delayiirc, last year you couldn't watch the games in the client
here we go
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODSMAKE A THREAD AND STICKY IT
>>537865887Pvision
>>537866383for serious tho how much would it cost to have 2 clowns to talk nonsense before the games start, there isn't even a fucking countdown and its 28mins untill first match is supposed to start.
NOOOO, I NEED MORE TIME, I HAVEN'T MASTURBATED YET
>>537866410ya it's super annoying that they don't let you watch it in client. and the delay is also annoying even when they do have it. i want to do live bets, but i have to watch a fucking russian stream? I guess I'll have to join my fellow gamer kids and start playing Roblox.
