>>538445141Enjoy your free* (excluding tax and shipping) 3 inch plastic aegis sir
is it true russian players are all controlled by some gambling mafia and they have to 322 games because the gambling money at stake is too much?
>>538445141if you are around 96+ its no way you can fumble it unless you pick some straight up dumb shit if dukalis didnt fuck up my fantasy i probably be a little bit higher 9class got me next round
>>538445694ya but also it's all pro players globally and only the little fish get caught because valve didn't receive a cutalso good time for a reminder that taiga is not actually banned
no blog posting? ok ill start>queue us east>peru in my team>losehere is another one>queue eu west>russia in my team>loseand another one>play turbo>so much fun compared to ranked mm>so funand last one>playing (hero)>buy (items)>wtf so broken why nobody does it?thanks for reading hope yall care

https://voca.ro/1nAg7kJw3uxIIt's special The International edition, I sit down on it and it became a high resolution.
r8
im ready to have my prediction 100% right
>>538445601How much is it?
>>538444482
>>538443886finally a good thread
>be extremely toxic constantly>still 12k behaviour scorenice system dotards.
>>538445601>they are plasticwhy are they 150 dollars, could they not at least give us a painted pigiron aegis?
>>538449517They're probably not plastic but they're also probably not worth whatever they're selling them for
>>538450631yeah but they are worth the shipping at least if you win. Sure valve will still make bank of redditors though.
>>538445141Know your betters
TI when?
>>538445910I'm 94th percentile. uhhh What should I not pick?
>>538447442Not having camps stacked with Cr1t is mistake.>wards planted>mid lanelel I made that mistake last time. If you have points left change that shit. Try to get runes grabbed on your mid, and obs planted on the support
>>538447442actually pretty good if you could swap rune grabbed with mid for obs wards planted you would have a whole W bracket
>>538451341Its mostly about getting the right stats for the player. You can pick someone on a team that doesn't do well and still get a lot of points.
>>538451341for the fantasy your best bet might be just bet on china lmao if AME plays like he did before then that should carry you
>>538445694I can't remember exactly which pro said it, but they said there's a lot more compromised players than people realize. However, they said it's not entire teams and usually just one or two players (that aren't aware of each other) that manipulate minor things like who gets first blood rather than blatantly throwing the games intentionally.
>>538451636>>538451647I've got Ame, I hope that nigga doesn't disappoint.
>>538452458>However, they said it's not entire teams and usually just one or two players (that aren't aware of each other)I assume it's like that too because points shaving in sports done by organized crime usually relies on one compromised athlete. no way a team would entirely 322
>>538453304Again it depends on your stats for him. If you haven't picked those yet, go for ricing and roshan stats and you'll do fine no matter how XG performs.
>>538453609It's just far too risky to try to compromise an entire team, unless you build it from compromised players from the start. Even then there's no way you would let them know about each other an potentially whistle blowing each other. Also, it's just much easier to convince a player to feed first blood or focus on courier kills or camp stacking and let him still try to win than to convince him to be an eternal loser.
>>538446007crazy how taiga killed his career very good player at his peak
>queue>game found in <15 seconds>9/10>back to queue for 10 minutesevery fucking timewhat is this bullshit

mason is playing unranked immortal games...
>pos3 picks a second carryi euthanize
>>538456356Would teats be safe for work I wonder, you can post a cow's udder and no one would care
Had a thirdie scream at me in voice 'Are you my support?' repeating it 4 or 5 times in rage, it seemed out one of those indian scammer ownage videos on youtube. insane stuff

>>538457324never leave lane on 5 u mother fucker
>Play with duo>actually win lane and generally play good, pull attention to our lane since we are getting advantage and TPs start coming in.>tri-stack has negative KDA and barely has reaction to press any fucking key or do any sort of play>they still unable to farm despite them being vs the creeps by themselves.This game is unplayable. Every fucking match is the same, shit. win lane. suddenly you have 5 people at coming to respond to you and my f ucking team is drooling under their tower.
>>538457093>pos 2,3,4,5 have zero lock down>"Pick a carry with a stun"Just kill me already
>people say the game is not dead>I have like 15min queues for low immortal games????
>>538457839How can I check if my teammates are in a party together?
>>538457858What server, what behavior score
>>538456123god she's so cute
>>538457858queue eu
>>538457093I'm a pos3 main and this is the way to go if you want to win the game, you rely too much on your team if you pick a "tank"And good luck getting any farm or EXP in lane when 9 out of 10 times your pos4 "support" will pick something like invoker or pudge and be totally useless.
>>538457976First of all, they dont flame at each othersecond, the end game stats have a mark over their name and a color with a roman number showing they are in the same party.

>check profiles of my dogshit team literally throwing and unlosable game>all sub 50% trashcan players.
>>538458159sure go pick dragon knight or sven you dumb fucker and stay 2k all your life
>>538459721https://files.catbox.moe/bb39ki.jpgFine but I don't approve of the pairing
>>538460087whos bbc is that
>>538459414heroic already gaped tundra also tundra is playing with ufo bossbetboom only good win is against parivision, they already lost to nigma in a close bo3xtreme gaming has ame, a well known matchfixer in china. don't be so sure he is gonna win. if a better offer is presented to him and xiao8 they wont pass semis
league is harder than dota, i saw dendi and noticed that he's only like top 2000 in dota if u are top 2000 in league ur not allowed to be a streamer without being viewed as trash
>>538456758these niggas playing like they're in TI
>>538460506(You) now shoo
>>538460087SCARY TERRY
>>538460087me on the bottom right
>>538460087Gonna milk those juggs
>>538459132aislop
>>538461345Yeah from like 13 years ago, good eye dumbass
They are not going to let me win again, are they?
>get support>free win, ggez>get core>autoloseI hate support players so fucking much.
>>538460598what is ur rank in dota? im master 200lp in league and im still considered bad even tho that is top 0.2% of the playerbase.dota immortal starts at league of legends mid diamond lol
>get 3 predictions right>95th percentile>thinking about which Arcana should I pick>sleep>wake up>open dota>89th percentileFuck this shit
>>538463461Calm down, it's not over yet.
>>538462725>dota immortal starts at league of legends mid diamond lolThat doesn't really say much since Dota's ranks are a gimmick tacked onto an MMR system that already worked fine on its own. Low immortal in Dota is the deepest trench in any ranked game.
>>538462379>playing ogredo you have no self respect?
very tired of losing games because my safelane feeds 10 kills and tilts out even when every other lane goes well
>>538465647It's fun.
took them like a day to fix it but it's here
whats the best hero to play if i want to feel something
>>53846346189% is workable lol just nail the second half
I JUST PLAYED A FUCKING TERRIBLE GAME WITH AN INDIAN POS 5 GOD I FUCKING HATE THESE CURRYNIGGERS
I'm only 93rd percentile. Do I have a chance?
>>538458232Thanks.
>>538465647he's a support player why do you even need to ask
>>538467708kez
are they hiring idiots who is vibe coding? how the fuck do you make mistakes like this? 2/16? 1/16? truly ded game?
>>538469812it's just 30 points more, probably still in 95th. Account bricked.
>>538469812sir ples do not be doing the redeeming of the points our top technicians are being the working hard on it
Midas into OC on techies is so good it let me beat my NP in hero damage.I spent the entire game mining the enemy jungle controlling the map, and void spirit kept dying to me, so he rage quit and didn't show up to an important team fight.Just wish I had gotten some GPM neutral bonuses. Still quitting ranked for sure though.
>>538473173This is not the first time they are doing this right? Why can't they recycle lmao.
>>538469812I just have the feeling that they have very old servers that need to be upgraded, they are calculating probably more than 1 million dota 2 accounts that have logged in these past few week to do the fantasy and it's taking a long time
>>538454481he can literally just come back and nobody will care
>>538474664he is banned from the game
>>538464694being rank 2000 as someone who is viewed as good must still be dogshit no? since 2000 is barely out of masters in league.
>>538474767no he's not lol
>>538475264he is banned from competing
>>538476330nope
You guys know if there's a non-video game type of Dota 2? like a board game or something?
>>538476961there was a card game
>>538476961i made a dota 2 ruleset for dnd 5e a while ago that functioned surprisingly well during my tests but as far as official stuff goes, youd probably be best off asking /tg/
are fantasy scores just bugged? we were comparing with friends and they seemed to make no goddamn sense. guy with 9k points is top 85%, guy with 8k points is top 95% and guy with 9,5k points is top 90%.
>>538477052that sounds pretty cool
>>538477928ill have to see if i can dig up the rules. it had automatic creep equilibrium, streamlined neutral camps, couriers, the works. i had an entire spreadsheet of 3 "heroes" printed out on sheets that ran across the whole table that tracked their individual stats per level with unique states for item buildups and everything. it was really fun but we didnt have many opportunities to run it as a full group
TI starts on 9/11 what did they mean by this
>>538479397that reminds me of that tragedy
>>538479397>9th of November WTF?! WHY?
>>538479397that all americans have been eliminated because they can't defend their towers
>>538479734you already know what the FUCK is going on
I had a dream I was playing Dota and the dream showed me a new item:GogglesIcon is an unimpressive pair of red-rimmed goggles on a black backgroundCost: 250gBonuses: +25% accuracyObviously you build it against early game blind and evasion. Doesn't build into anythingBut I was thinking about it after I woke up and maybe a more realistic version that's suitable for the game would be:Cost 450g+25% accuracy+4 damage
>>538479397nobody in america plays this game anymore
>>538477143Yes the points are bugged and slowly being calculated.>>538474369From my limited programming experience there's no reason simply calculating numbers should take this long.
i'm legitimately upset about only scoring 75% in fantasy
>>538481469it's a huge database and the data has a lot of points, I still think their servers suck, they should upgrade when epyc zen6 launches
>>538443886Marci is cute. And broken fucking OP.
why does nothing ever go right for meit's just stupid fucking hats so why can't i even get that muchwhat did i do wrong God to deserve being tortured every day
>>538451341Try to pick uncapped stats which can get huge during long games.
group of 10 random people is better than one expert so guys who's gonna win ti?
has valve confirmed if anybody got the predictions right? the spirit not qualifying at all must have alone made 99% of predicts fail.
>>538484289There has to be a spirit hater out there
What would the worst grand finals be? I think Paravision vs Betboom would be completely soulless
>>538481758damn should have followed some people fantasy that was posted here
>>538484684It's not just spirit, they had to also predict liquid wouldn't qualify and both XG and tidebound would dominate.
>>538486283tundra vs falconsslavs vs slavchink vs chinkthe best finals arechink vs slavchink wins
>>538486908hard go this time around. liquid usually eats shit during the off-season and shows up for TI making an upper bracket run. now you have both liquid and spirit not making it which has got to fuck up a lot of people's predictions
>>538488026>XG and Tidebound dominating>Spirit and liquid being eliminated>Neither Falcons nor Tundra going 4-1>Nigma and Heroic qualifyingTheres just so much specific shit you needed to get right that was completely unexpected. I think the only outcomes that were relatively safe were BB as a possible 4-1 team and the SEA team doing garbage.
>>538489573wild card getting to the last round for some reason the swiss format isnt for TI
>>538489573>Nigma and Heroic qualifyingspotted the hater
>>538491073You are missing the point retard. They're both dark horses, predicting both of them qualifying AND everything else I listed correctly is extremely unlikely.
>pick Yatoro and Larl for the Road To TI fantasy thing>get like 25k points Can't go wrong with Team Spirit Too bad they got eliminated, now idk who to pick
>>538492245Go with the Z warriors
Man, this game sucks, 30mins into game, fucking supports, and mid lane, keep throwing the game. last battle, orge decided not to bloodlust, or anything, just teleport into Roshan, force a 4v5 fight, the amount of rage i get from this game alone, I would kill everyone on the list and it wouldn't even be enough, I need to kill their family, their pets, their children even. Why? There's no why. It is just a bunch of people intentionally doing this, maybe out of the kick they get to see people like me rage. I think it is time, I quit, and this time for good. Probably going to delete the game account.
>>538492523Which team is that?
>0.02% got at least 10 predictions correct>no one got all of themdamn i guess spirit fucked everyone
>>538493275Betboom
>>538493793https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/536611691635409409

who do i put on mid
>>538496154What stats did you get
>>538496201trash
remmeber when the """""""""""""""""""""""""PROFESSIONAL""""""""""""""" analusts told you FURION was the carry of the tournament and funny enough he sucjks imense amount of dicks and no one plays him as carry because he suffers from the same problem for twenty years which is the fact that he gets 2 shot by supports in late game because the cahacter lkiterraly isn't amde to be a carry >BUT THE EXPERTS TOLD ME and the experts also told you team shitpirt wwas good at the game and they are not at the end of the day everyone is buyiong aeon disks and force staves and medallions because this game is about winnign teamfights and WINNING TEAMFIGHTS ONLY ratting is completely dead so aeon disk, no expert would tell you that godlike item was good because they are all shti at the game, god if jesus christ didn't gave me the most damaging diesease a man can have I'd be shitting on those professional dota players every single day and winnig TI after TI because good god those peoplea such aht the game
>>538496406did you not reroll anything? it doesnt look like you ever upgraded the tiers
>>538496406Use your rolls if you did already im sorry to say you are cooked
Remember when everyone kept saying dawn was super strong and would be a dominant hero at TI and whined for nerfs despite her already being shown to be hot garbage at Fissure earlier.
>>538497086hotd made the games take much longer because of how much map vision you gain from the item, so people avoid more fights and snowballing heroes got worsewhat people haven't realized yet is how teamfighty this meta is and how people should be picking heroes with saves and heroes with big game winning aoe spells, Im expecting to see a lot of dazzles, sds, maybe even winter wyvern coming back to the meta and stuff like enigma 3, magnus 3, mars 3
I've recently come back after a few months break and holy fuck it's so much 5man team fighting early game now.
>>538498173>come back>BROOLdon't be surprised
Crazy how im always pos 1 when my offlane goes 0-12 and turns me into a spectator of a game im not really sure why valve made the forced 50 so powerful
>>538497401>enigma 3, magnus 3, mars 3already here
>>538499949saves, big aoe stuns and bkb piercing stuns are going to be the name of the game
>>538500154nawdamage will be kingas it ALWAYS is
>>538497086her win rate at ti is low but she is highly contested being part of the draft in nearly 50% of the games
>>538497401Dawn is exactly what you described and she's still shit
>>538501071Because bad teams insist on picking bad heroes. Most of her picks were by aurora and fucking Nemesis.
>>538501093even shitter teams can follow the strat
>>538499949Magnus has the worst winrate of any hero picked more than 10 times at TI.
sven has a shit win rate too despite ame with 100% wr
think i'm gonna spam tinker. come and stop me dotard
>>538501824I think that's a good contrast to notice. Dawn has only a single win against a team that qualified (against tundra). Every other win was against weak teams like wildcard and BOOM.Sven on the other hands, despite having a poor winrate, at least has examples of him being used to beat good teams (teams that managed to qualify). It shows he can be good in the right hands. If you want to win the whole thing, you need to pick heroes that you know can be used to beat the best.
who do i put on support
>>538504264chinese
>>538504264y’ or Scofield if you got the balls
nobody got the groupstage predicitons right? daamn
People really love to spam the coomer russian cat voiceline or the chinese one but i havent heard the ephey voice line yet. is it a total flop?
>>538505207You should go KJ, isn't he the big warder and smoker?Depends on the banner desu. It pays to look through the scoreboards in detail to see who is buying the wards and who is playing the stun heroes.
>>538506678>It pays to look through the scoreboards in detail to see who is buying the wards and who is playing the stun heroes.Its a shame there isnt a summary of players stats from the group stage somewhere
>I have a tiny bit of time before work>lets check twitch>cokva is playing>LD When did this hero become such a boring champion?
>>538507130it always was
>>538507140I think he was a lot of fun back when armlet bear was a thing. Because you had to build Sylla as well. Now it is a very boring League champion and I fully mean it.
>want to play pos5, and only pos5>forced to queue as both 4 and 5>get 4>pos5 buys 1 observer and 0 sentries in a 48 minute game
>>538508086>forced
>>538508086I play 1 and I buy all the obs because support players are retarded and keep warding the river for 40 minutes if they can
rtz is the real uncrowned king btw
>>538508438rateezy is not even top 200 player anymore, the peruvian carry that is currently playing in TI is 1000% better pos 1 than artour ever was
>lategame tinker with octarine - 7s fallen skywow
>>538509385Whatever you say spic
>>538509385what was the highest placement those favelas achieved at TI?
>>538508438remember when they smashed the group stage and immediatly dropped out at main? I think it was the covid TI so clowny
is there any way to have text to speech on the kill feed and in game chat?
Thoughts?
>>538509696that shit was rigged to allow the brand move to sa>lose to two sa teams in succession
I realized something, maybe I am having a bad time in doto because I am a sore loser. What if losing isn't that bad after all? To learn something from all the loss?
>>538509385So you need to be top 100 players to be in TI? I am from Herald... am I never going to play the international?!
>>538506890datdota? geting fucked by dotards atm though
>>538508086So just play pos 5 when the pos 5 doesn't play pos 5?
please stop posting your fantasy lineups, you're making me feel bad about mine having shit traits
>>538508438Unfortunately Arteezy never actually realized his "potential".I also remember seeing a Nahaz tweet about how it was a total given that Artour was going to win a TI at some point, and I think that permacursed him.
>>538509870if you learn nothing from losing that’s a bad trait to have
>>538509632Why is Ame so CUTE no homo

>>538520260Only if they haven't suffer enough. I realize wanting to kill them ease them from the suffering. God works in mysterious ways, its coming. I just hope it does not hurt the innocent people.
>>538510987I have a special group of retards that stalks me, it's funny, because "strict solo queue" dont work. At least for me, I think, war cannot come any sooner, maybe if they are busy with actual war, they will leave me the fuck alone. A few more countries to go.

>>538526095its photoshop airbrushing, it's seen as normal therelike chinks dont tell each other that their pic is photoshopped, its fine
>>538526295I asumed they'd have standardized it but I geuss it's player preference?
>>538526390The teams mustve just sent the pics they use all year round, it's the same for any other tournament
new battle report thing just dropped
>>538526889I think this is the case, you can see very different lightning yet alone editing>tfw there's no more photoshoot in TI
>>538527339I hate playing on Dire so fucking much.
>>538527339ranged aren't being picked at all, guh?
>>538527935Forgot picture. I can't fucking win on Dire.
>>538527935What the fuck lol I'm 62% wr on radiant and 46% on dire
>>538528183I don't know if it's the thing about the upside down perspective of Dire. I don't like playing Dire, I have such shit win-rate with it.
the torte de lini bane guide also recommend not skilling enfeeble on bane until level 10odd
dire has been awful for too longimplement a system that mirrors the map such that the playing side is always from bottom left
>>538528479I do Sap > Nightmare > Sap > Enfeeble > Max Sap > Max Enfeeble > Max Nightmare.
>>538528137bro i literally got like 35 more games on direwhat is this shit
>>538528989It's "supposed" to be 50/50 but it sure as shit doesn't feel like it, and looking at the battle report stats confirms it.
>>538519905I started the war between Ukraine and Russia because of them ruining my dota 2 games.I am responsible for this war.I have been warning them for years but they didn't listen and made fun of me.Entire cities, bloodlines, millions of them are wiped out now.Not so funny now is it slavziggers?eksde
>>538529135im at 71% radiant win rate last 30 days43% dire.....
>>538529396Based, a good rusnig is a dead rusnig
>>538529461I only have positive winrate on Radiant for the last like 7 battle reports or something, and almost all Dire are negative.
>all these players with way worse winrate on dire compared to radiant>battle reports as proof so its not just confirmation bias or somethinghow is this not a more talked about issue? if you queue up and get dire you have -10% chance to win by default before the game began regardless of how any player will play.
>>538530004no refunds
bounty hunter = useless shit hero
>>538530480Sadly >>538519001
>>538530480Bounty hunter is a fighting hero, get blademail, get vanguard, get pipe, get powertreads, get vlads, get all that shit and manfight them while tracking and throwing shurikens.That's bounty hunter not some bitch with aghs and lens hiding in the trees.Bounty hunter has great attack speed and armor and lategame its a full blown hard carry with 0 cd jinada and a butterfly you're one of the manliest fighters out there.
>>538531353He picked pos3 and rushed Aghs.
dire is heavily favored at ti43% radiant57% dire
>>538531587Unfortunately for us. 99.5% of the playerbase has shit winrate on Dire but Valve can't buff it because pros are good on Dire.
>>538531587is that because first pick gets dire and it's actually first pick that has the big win advantage
maybe it's the color palette of dire terrain making people mad
>>538532031shouldn't first pick be random? wtf icefrog.
>lane, chasing an enemy hero running towards his radiant base, etc.>need to click on something at the bottom of the screen>can't because 20% of the screen is covered by UIThis isn't a problem for Radiant as much since the top of the screen UI is much smaller.
>>538533565first pick is decided by coin tossside is picked by the loser of the toss
so many players in my games have AI avatars. wonder if they're human themselves
here are the ti2025 official rules
>>538533959So teams choose first pick, and then the other team picks Radiant, so Dire has good winrate because the team playing it got the first hero pick?
>>538534085that's my theory yeah but dat dota anon will have to confirm
dead game..
>>538537786>want to play pos5, and only pos5>forced to queue for both 4 and 5, can't only select 5>9 games, get pos5 2 times and pos4 7 timesfun, really makes me want to queue up again
>>538538323if you want to play one role then build role tokens playing them allwhat is the problem here
>>538538475Why? Why is that even a thing? Why do I need to queue up in rolls I don't like playing and don't play well, hurting my teammates and myself? Why can't I just queue up for the roll I want to play?
>>538538323you can perma have tokens if you play two roles.>>538533731They are Canadians, Saar.
>>538538654because you cant just have it your way in a 5v5 game
>>538538775This answer makes no sense, there's matchmaking that can find 4 other players each playing another role and place us together in a team.This isn't a game with 2000 players, there are enough players in my mmr for this to work.
ok lads here's my YTD stats from returning to the game after taking an extended break (c. 2022).I got calibrated into low herald ~2 months ago and have gotten to ~1500 MMR fairly easily, maintaining something like an 75-80% WR throughout the process.Since reaching crusader my games have become significantly shittier, and I'm trying to figure out how to improve from here. I suspect my GPM is far too low, probably from low CS, which i've been working on quite a bit, but would certainly welcome some help in optimizing. Mind you that no supports at this rank ever actually stack camps or really do much of anything in lane, so I just picked up beastmaster recently so i can just stack for myself. All of the games pictured are ranked, mostly offlane with a bit of safelane (ursa/sven), except for the beastmaster ones, which i just played in unranked recently to learn the micro. I don't want to be that guy and just blame my teammates but i really do feel that somehow the quality of players dropped between guardian and crusader, which should just not be the case. Any advice is more than welcome, either general advice or just resources I can use to get better. Would love to see some beastmaster pro tips as well, anything helps.
>>538539004>there's matchmaking that can find 4 other players each playing another role and place us together in a teamyou mean 9 other players all playing specific rolespeople already cry about queue timesqueue for classic if you dont like it
>>538539170>people already cry about queue timesI'll wait. Let each player decide if they want to sit and wait for their one role or they can queue up multiple ones for faster queue.
>>538539270>Let each player decide if they want to sit and wait for their one role or they can queue up multiple ones for faster queueexcept everyone suffers when pos4 isnt queued at all
>>538539350You said player cry about queue times, the impatient ones will queue all roles and get pos4.
>>538539135Gets more frustrating as you climb.I got calibrated at crusader IV after quitting dota during Dota AllStarS.Started playing March last year and I am currently Divine 2.1300 matches, 750 wins.
>>538539448ah, so either play pos4 or dont playlol
>>538539551Who does me getting a role I'm shit at benefit? Not my teammates.
>>538539448>pos4literally a free win
>>538539927both teams have a pos4, but only one team can win
>>538539796its supposed to benefit you so you arent so garbage at a role you cant play it
>>538540025I'm sure my pos3 will be very happy with my potential slight future improvement as he gets fucked in the lane. People won TI playing 2 heroes, why do I need to learn multiple roles.
>>538540226because you arent being played to playbesides valve only really wants you to play 2 rolespos4/5 try not to be so shit at them
>>538540341>at them>them"It". I'm fine on 5 (or 3 actually, but you can't queue only 3 and 5), the issue is 4.
>>538540474>the issue is 4how, pick something to bully enemy carry, and learn to pull off-lane. It plays essentially the same after laning anyway unless you are immortal.
>>538539981if you have fun you can never lose :)
>>538540891I am immortal (barely? 6.3k EU). There are different expectations from the 4 than there are of the 5. It's not the same.
default map + aurora weather is very late october/early november coded
>>538540474then queue classic
>>538541148I want to queue ranked so that I can see the level of my skill in one role and for my MMR to reflected my performance in said role. Alas it won't change and this is just venting so yea I'll stay upset. Whatever.
>>538541373>I want to queue ranked so that I can see the level of my skill in one role and for my MMR to reflected my performance in said rolebut that isnt how ranked works
>>538541071oh well fuck then, I don't what to say other than you are retarded getting that high in mmr and not getting an understanding of all the roles by that point. Just mute all when forced to play it for tokens and try your best.

>>538542203Missing Gyro, Rooftrellen, Morphling, Io by the side of Terrorblade at the botton left, Syllabear close to Barathrun, Rikimaru at the front, Purist in the middle holding the hammer up, Yurnero in the shade at the middle, Mirana, Nortrom, Alleria on the right side close to Lina, Chen in front of Zeus holding the hammer, Phantom Lancer on the bottom left, Upper left has storm and Gyro is right behind him.
>>538543284yeah
>>538543284Yes.
>>538543308I left out the ones I had no idea about but yeah a few of them I didn't see.>Saw Morph but forgot to put him down
>>538542691>Jakiro looked good in dotadamn, we were robbed.
>>538543670Jakiro was the Chimera unit from the Night Elfs.>>538543520I always liked this one because Phantom Lancer is invisible slipping through behind darkterror.
>>538543876Is that Necro below invoker and above void?
Was this the last one?
lol
>>538544303Yeah, Invoker was Kael from Wc3 wearing a white coat.
>>538544303Yes, used the Necromancer Warcraft III Undead unit model.
>>538544359Yes, Sand King on top of Tiny's back, Sven about to stun Pit Lord, Yurnero up top coming from behind, Akasha fighting Strygwyr, Doom Fighting Storm.

>>538545112its od
>>538545558>Does it become a Dire creep if you're on Dire?Sadly no, I asume he will also make that a skin if he hasn't already. Maybe support for that will be added if it gets in.
Post battle reports
>>538546275I'm unemployed so I don't have dota+

>>538545796It's kinda fat looks like pit lord.The weapon also doesn't look like OD staff at all.OD was the obsidian statue from the undead, that turned from stone into those flying creatures.
>>538546275kinda boring i hope he doesn't get nerfed again
will dotards attend TI?still don't know what to do for finals day as I don't have tickets for sunday. we coudl watch at my hotel room anon, what do you say?
>>538547860It's my dream, my girlfriend even speaks German so this year would've been great. Being a poorfag sucks balls
>>538547860I'm german and off work for the rest of the month but Hamburg is like an 8 hour drive so no thanks
>>538547860too far from Clapistan.
>>538547860i don't want to get raped
I'm 95th percentile so I really want to do well. Anything I should change?
>>538550520why are you expecting para - tidebound final?
>>538550520Most Assists on Core? Is that likely to happen? Also your rolls are godtier, I got fucking Watchers taken on Mid
>>538551082I'm not. I expect long games for both teams = high fantasy points. It doesn't matter number of game just length. Stupid system
>>538550520Here's my bracket. Only thing I might change is Falcon/BB result
Should I pick Xxs or Ame as my fantasy carry?
China winst. 100th percentile
>>538443789
>>538551286more opportunities to play still increases their chances of scoring better
>>538551173Satanic has been playing Tinker and showing up to tons of fights, I think it's possible
seeing posts on reddit with there tier 1-2 banners i understand why my garbage, although mostly tier 5 shit got 97%
Banners matter more than players
>caring about fantasy shittook more than 5 minutes to fill out plus only kids care about cosmetics lmao you people are children lol LMAO
>>538554276You meant to say less
>>538554276some of us are special boys and want everything to be neat and perfectly organized
>>538554276It's fun
>>538550520 I swapped 9class for Cr1t. If I had couriers killed or madstone/gpm I would do 9class. But for stuns and obs and teamfight I'm going with cr1t
>>538554276I started playing again to because free hats from curiosI got to level 5 and the reward was a shitty doom set worth 4 centsI quit the game until the next battlepass and am only gonna watch TI playoffs

>>538558130Then why is it so big without it
>mfw tundra 2-1 XG and 99.5% of predictions get ruined
>>538559028I believe in /ourdotard/.
>>538557215Arent foot fags and ass men like polar opposites? It feels like they are
>>538558309I have the same, except I value Tidebound a little more than BBI think it will be pretty fucking random, just like the group stage
>>538560798Feet are nearer the ass right so there's more competition
>>538558309XG is winning it allXina strong
>>538561775I hope but I get the sneaking suspicion it will be falcons or tundra
Would you guys put TB on the same scale as Medusa or Morphling when it comes to 1v9ing the game?
midas is such a shit useless itemretards ruin the game even more when they queue one at the minor disconvenience
>>538443789>POS 4 guides: Go roam, go gank, go fight, help your mid help your safelane, your offlane will be fine and if he can't go 1v2 it's his fault not yours, do it as early as first water rune spawn. Then build carry items since you're POS 1 Part 2>POS 3 guides: If your POS 4 leaves he's griefingWhich is it? Had a game today where our POS 4 left the offlane because he couldn't do anything against the opponents lane matchup and helped out our safelane a lot. Yeah we secrued some kills in safelane but the offlane got destroyed and I can't help but think the gain to our POS 1/4/5 didn't offset the destruction to our POS 3 (and the graphs showed that)
>>538567317You stay in lane unless it's unwinnable or if it's already won hard
when do they release new 75k-150k shards cosmetics
>>538568363its another of valve's myriad of forgotten features.
post more lina ass
lmao the ti merch is dogshit. shirts are made in china and the screen print on it feels dry
>>538571017Does Valve even bother with overseeing that or is it up to PGL?
who won TI?
>>538571281all merch is done by we arenations they outsource all the actual manufacturing.i got this https://na.dota2secretshop.com/products/ti13-chaos-knight-short-sleeve-tee-blackprint looks blurry, tshirt quality is feels better than a uniqlo u shirt but not as good as a COS shit

>>538528103That's the chart showing anon how much he played each role and his winrate. The sword is carry and the bow is mid, it's not melee/ranged.
My tinker started with a bottle and has a dagger on queue. He is pos 5. This is 5k mmr.Why do people queue to not play the game.
>>538581819And my players, best I could farm.
go all in on Heroic, this is the last time I'll advice you
>>538586241Because after their first game you'll realise how wrong you were and hide in shame?
