I want to suck on Lanaya's 10 inch secret.
>puck is a pretty lady!
>>539544013bro leave it in the fridge, she was keeping that cola flavored popsicle for a special occasion
>its another pos 1 or/and 2 starts to afk jungle because a single bad thing happened in gameWhy are they such pussies and so entitled?
>>539543925The orge arcana is the cutest, with the new drop, but too bad, it's cost so much, and you can't even sell it. obvious downfall, not realizing the economy of the game. Icefrog needs to understand this.
How does gorgc keeps getting games with top 100 immortal accounts when he's rank 600 something himself?
gorgc or qojqva
>>539544381the pool isn't as big as you thinkyou can get matched with rank 300 if you're rank 3000 sometimes
>>539544414GorgcQojqva is the worst nickname I've ever seen so I will never ever rate him
>>539544414Satanicgorgc is a boosted shitter
>>539544414topson
new hero idea:>charlie the debator>q - 'unmatched argument': single target stun>w - 'ghost form': goes ethereal and heals but cannot move>e - 'triggered': taunts in aoe around the character>r - 'leakage on the ceiling': ult; big aoe team buff that creates a link between all buffed heroes that share damage taken equally amongst everyoneyou're supposed to use W and E together and ult is the spirit link from wc3 barathum, I think this is a pretty cool concept
>>539544757>e - 'triggered': taunts in aoe around the characterI know it's a shitpost but I just want to say that this literally the thing that makes Axe a hero and giving it to another character would be incredibly stupid. It's giving another hero Spell Steal or Black Hole or Greevil's Greed.
>>539545157axes uses taunts to kill people, charlies uses it to waste their time attacking an ethereal character
>>539545238No, the main benefit of Call is that it's a 3 second AoE BKB-piercing psuedo-stun on an 11 second cooldown. Axe's damage is secondary, having one of the best disables in the game on a low cooldown is what defines him as a hero.
>>539544757Secret easteregg passive: If Charlie gets shot by Sniper he dies in 1 hit
>>539545428we should have more taunt heroes, why should axe hold the monopoly on a mechanic like that?
>>539545529Legion, Huskar, and Wyvern also have taunts. We can have new taunts but they should be unique mechanically instead of just being Axe 2.
new hero idea:hunter the flashy executioner, agility, melee (ranged when q is active), carry nuker snowballer>q - spinning axe, increases damage and gives range, ricochets upon hit and lands in the direction that hero is facing with an indicator on the ground, can only juggle two axes at the same time>w - rush of blood, move speed and attack speed increase, refreshes on spinning axe catch>e - stop the show, two axes go in a line and knock back heroes hit, stuns if knocked back into terrain>r - death spiral, two axes go in a global line and execute heroes below 10% health, fly back to the hero upon hit or upon recall, can hit twice>scepter - no more buyback timer>shard - E and R cut down trees>innate "love of fans" - hunter gains 2x gold on kills>innate "hate of haters" - Q gains cleave and can ricochet into nearby enemiessend it gaben
Why wasn't Hoodwink a cute anthro girl instead
>>539545915icefrog is a furry
I can't wrap my head around the radiance timing of good players/pros. Most of them get it around 15-16, unless I really stomp my lane I'll get mine around 18-20min. I just can't figure out where they find the perfect farm pattern. Doesn't help when other players just come nuke my lane and surrounding camps too
>>539546110literally just watch their demos?
>>539546110they dont miss their last hit and they get stacks from supports. 9mins radiance is doable.
>>539546110They get to farm triple stacked ancients and hard camps while you don't.They get supports who will stack said camps while you don't.They get teammates who will TP in just to fight for your right to farm the camps while you don't.
qop immortal or pl immortal? we better be able to preview them before picking
>>539546635it's mostly that they're just better at farming, not tons of help from the teamkeep in mind they also have to face other top level players on lane
>>539545915She is a cute anthro girl though
Anyone saying that pos 1 gives you the most agency and solo carry potential is just fucking wrong. You don't exist in a vacuum. Too many points of failure for you to actually succeed as a position 1 in a solo queue game. Play offlane or mid to dictate the pace of the game instead of relying on the pace to be to your liking.
>>539547216historically mid is the role with the most agency over the game's result
>>539547318mid has been useless dogshit for like 2 years now
>>539548159because icefraud nerfed laning mechanics for 6+ years now and made it impossible to lose your lane mid super hard like in the past, you can always keep the lane bouncing from one tower to another with overblocking and always get cs and expif you can't dominate mid hard and then snowball and use the tempo to control the mid game then the role is weakerthe game is just dogshit now and needs a mid fucking patch that at minimum changes the map dramatically, make the space in between towers in the midlane 50% bigger as it was in allstars and then the midlane will be the skill lane againthere's much to fix in this game but icefraud isn't doing anything
Lyralei is CUTE and I'm gonna marry her!
>>539549057Her nudes suck
>>539549057>tattoosyuk
What's next for Quinn? Becoming the #1 streamer? Becoming a political figure?
>>539549057where is the glutes
>>539549057she looks as retarded and vacant as windrunner herself! great cosplay!
>>539549057>>539549806She does look a bit weird, I thought she was scared at the cosplay contest cause she was up on stage but she looks just as worried there
>>539550029>anxious on stage>but not anxious to put her naked body on the internet
>>539549057>>539550029midranger
>>539550076whats the name
lmao they removed sept 18
>>539550029Is her hair plastic?
>>539551161Maybe, it's fake at least, she's got the same loose hair at the back on both videos, to be fair real WR's hair always looked like plastercine
>>539551141can someone explain to me why this always happens? its not the first time.shit like this surely is a fucking automated system, its not like they are fucking manually reviewing who got what amount of points and shit, why the fuck would they need to push back the dates?
>>539551141that's not where it said it, its to the side below the free voicelines and still says it
>>539551513There are thousands of russian bot accounts trying to get free shit
>>539551513People made tons of new accounts and made a ton of different predictions so hopefully one of them wins so they can get the free Aegis, so Valve probably removed accounts with no games played or accounts created in the last two months, etc.
>>539551505Looks like thishttps://youtu.be/G7ZGRQiIdms?feature=shared&t=12
the rewards are coming in 1 hour and 36 minutes as always, that's the valve reset time
>>539551513The data is probably split across a huge distributed database so it's not as simple as just going through one list, though they should've consolidated it into one frozen final list by now so they can run and rerun their math and auditing processes to check.Also Valve has been removing 0 game smurf accounts and shit so they are probably in fact manually checking some of them at least to make sure they're not banning legit new players vs bot accounts, among other things. There is real money riding on this so even one mistake will start a shitshow of drama they don't want to deal with.
>>539551743okay? its still an automated fucking system, its fucking Valve, its not like its some small indie studio that cant afford servers so it gets overwhelmed
it's so lame that we didn't get a new hero nor a new arcana this year
>>539552063yet*
>>539552063Last remaining code monkey left for Deadlock, it's now all janitors and potted plants broHence the delay, there's literally nobody to push the "release" button
>>539552063i think they are making an actual halloween/frostivus event this year, maybe crownfall style
Valve is going to introduce digital ID for steam. Your days of racism are numbered dotards
I started watching dota youtube content and I'm surprised how many of the channels still exist today like this onehttps://www.youtube.com/@gameleapdota2/videos
are the team voicelines permanent to your account? I'm thinking the "it's your boy Speeeeed here" is one worth buying
>850k playersC-Can we reach the milly again?
Dead abandoned game in maintenance mode awardSilverlining at least they won't "rework" heroes and won't add another powercrept disney furry bait supports
>>539553134Just ask Valve to add more bots
>>539552940Yes.
So now that Quinn is gone, can Valve revert the behavior score changes?
I wasn't expecting this but the lion immortal is actually cool because it changes the mana drain a lot......
>>539553134sure but gonna need some CONTENT
>>539552515>huh my angry russian teammate is actually Margaret, 62 from Guildford
>>539553758I like the shaman one
>>539543925Quinn fucking retired?Wow.
>>539553758shadow shaman and lion already have those immortals as crimson ones, it's a waste.
>>539553758The lion one also makes the clown suit more ridiculous
>>539554286I dont have and will never have a crimson immortalanyway it's lion, qop or plPL makes sense because he has a lot of purple hatsLion has the best skill effectQoP changes her Q and also her right click
>>539554204Drachyo won
>>539554581the faggot competitionhe completely ruined any goodwill anyone had for him with his year-long seethe
>>539554998Ok Quinn
>>539554581Won what? There was some beef between the two? Also I feel like playing dotards is just not profitable if you live in the US since it's probably fucking expensive unless you live in Montana or some shit. Orgs probably don't pay that much yet you still have to pay taxes in the US even if you reside and play in Europe. Sneyking is an exception (and as far as I understand the last American T1 player) but he's probably being paid well by the Saudis. This is definitely a negative impact overall.
americans aren't human so it's fine
esl one birmingham is back boys
Imagine is Bulba didn't gatekeep and surpress the NA scene during Dotas prime..
if valve cared just a little bit about the game we'd be having a renaissance of the game right now, people are sick and tired of all the shitty games that came out last 5 years and ready to come back to dotes
Astini from paravision complained a lot to valve about how hard it is to get into the pro scene due to mmr inflation, a new kid playing the game needs months of grind to reach high mmr and be noticed by teams, so expect valve to FINALLY puts it's aim sights in the mmr inflation problem
>>539556075Valve are cooking up a huge battlepass for the shanghai TI next year with multiple new heroes
>>539556375too late chuddie, I'm coming back home with my fellow white menhttps://heroesofnewerth.com/
>>539556253They should just completely reset the whole MMR thing. According to some data there are more immortals than any other ranks. That doesn't make any sense.
>>539555953ok im imagining a bunch of shitters that got filtered by lulba getting last place at all the lans
>>539556375
havent saw ppd in a while, he's probably fully bald at this point
>>539556516>game so irrelevant they have to cling on TI clout
>>539556516>hontrashahahhahhahhaahahahvery brown moment
>>539556516>white men playing a game made by sea monkeyswew
>>539557467hon is going to be a great side game for a moment like this when valve forgets that dota exists and leaves it in a shitty patch everyone hatesit's also much more mechanically exigent game than dota now because icefraud spent 10 years noobifying the gameso yeah, I'll buy the $5 pledge to get my found title and icon and have it as a side game for sure
>>539557754you can do that now and you dont
>>539558004I can't play it right now, only on october, I'm not buying a pledge more expensive than $5

>>539559306Me too bro
>1 carry hero>1 mid hero>1 pos 4 hero>2 support heroesWhy does offlane always get shafted? We really needed to have both Lion and Rhasta? Couldn't have recoloured a Pitlord immortal or something?
>>539563029qop is an offlane hero though
Reborn? More like ReflopPrediction: less online than SMITE
>>539563029QoP and SB are played as pos3.
Give me my rewards, niggers
>>539563445>>539563521>QoPIn this specific patch yeah, she almost certainly won't be next month. Compare this to QoP who has literally always been viable mid, PL who has always been played carry, Rhasta and Lion who have always been supports.>SBBarely.
>>539563029>Why does offlane always get shafted?
the PL immortal is shit, you see barely any difference
>>539563673That's lane presence, not position. He is overwhelmingly played as pos 4.
>>539563807the qop immortal is also pretty weak you barely notice the changes, I'm getting the lion immortal
>>539563807Colourblind or retarded?
it's up1!!!https://www.twitch.tv/bone7

>>539564597>humanized hoodwinkdisgusting
>>539564597Probably because it's not animated, the film one sucked too though
who are the best streamers/content creators for specific roles?
>doturd 2 1 million TI viewers>valorant 200k viewersyeah, we're so back
>>539564859arteezy best carry, topson best mid, gorgc best support
>>539564859Arteezy/Mason for carryMidOne or Topson for midCeb or Mangekyou for offlanepos4 idkpos5 Dubu
>>539565226We'll beat worlds too
>>539564859to learn or to watch? I dont think we have any more educational streamers that do coaching/commentary on stream only on youtube videos now
>>539565226dota is the only game with botted viewers though
>>539565226I think zoomers who play league and valorant are much more normie than the dota playerbase thus don't care about esports much
>>539564597>muerta, drow, hoodwink all drawn off-model>can't even tell what the hero next to PA at 0:37 is supposed to be>artist doesn't know that sven isn't actually blue>not a single hero acts even vaguely in-characterOh but Lina has sideboob for 3 seconds it's totally kino!!
9 MINUTES
>>539556375If you've been paying attention you know China always gets the good stuff. Rising superpower, Chinese century and all that. Gabe might even leave his yacht and step on dry land for the first time in three years to open the next TI.
>>539556564Every time I have bothered to calibrate they have reset the MMR right after, and I recently calibrated, so best believe another rework of ranked is coming next patch
Remember when Xiao8 and Zai were visiting high class escorts at the last China TI?
>>539565226>start Dota 2>twitch stream automatically starts playingyeah... "real viewers"
>>539556564Every time a reset happens it just makes ranked terrible for a few weeks.>According to some data there are more immortals than any other ranks. That doesn't make any sense.That's because a lot of people hit Immortal and then stop playing ranked because they reached their goal, so they never rank down. They'll get uncalibrated eventually but if they don't recalibrate the stat never gets updated.
>>539565226valorant viewership peaked 3 years agoalso dota had almost 1.8m youtube+twitch total
>>539566817no one cares, the mmr doesnt need a soft reset like the other days it needs a complete the great reset led by the wef at this point, the inflation is completely retarded and absurd, it needs to be curtained badly, the difference in skill from 2k mmr to 4k mmr is inexistant, the difference between 10k mmr and 16k mmr is minimal
>>539567036>no one cares, the mmr doesnt need a soft reset like the other days it needs a complete the great reset led by the wef at this point, the inflation is completely retarded and absurd, it needs to be curtained badlyWhy? What does it matter?>the difference in skill from 2k mmr to 4k mmr is inexistant, the difference between 10k mmr and 16k mmr is minimalThis is not even close to true and I suspect you don't actually play the game.
>>539567212>What does it matter?it matters because dota 2 is a game about learning and improving and you want the community to be incentivized to do so and people having to play 9999 pubs to get to high mmr disincentivizes these people>This is not even close to trueyou're wrong, trannoid
>>539563575<25k should not get anything imowhy am i in the same category as you
what courier and what wards do (You) use?
>>539567706Let me guess, you're hardstuck in Archon and think you could somehow become Immortal if they just did one more reset because MMR doesn't actually mean anything, right? You're totally 6k calibre you're just being held back by your team every game.
>>53956785295 percentile is 14kAnyways if you are so good why didnt you make top 1500
they really didnt announce a new hero? wtf
>>539533771well well well
>>539569007because that requires incredible luck
they actually abandoned the game, we're not getting anything on TI and we're also not getting diretide because quartero goes all the way to november, maybe they'll make something for frostivus but I don't trust them
>>539569335Saksa is going to falcons he's the perfect type of brownoid
>>539569936Diretides have started late October/early November so it's still very possible it happens. Though if I had to guess, it's most likely a combined Diretide/Frostivus event that goes on until next year.
>>539570246He's a balkoid Christian, 0 chance of going to falcons
>>539569936>no content for 6 weeks means valve abandoned the gamesuch entitlement
>>539570549there was no content all year round, cockgobbler
>>539570870>quartero isnt content because it just isnt OK!lmao
where's my fucking 95th percentile reward, Valve.

Which arcanas do I get bros? I don't really play any of the heroes, I already have Rubick and Zeus.I like how PA looks the most but I literally never play her, the only ones I might use are TB cause I do 3/4 TB memes sometimes and maybe Venge but I don't really like playing her.
Crazy how this currently playing 800k players game has no good streamers with lot of viewers. I guess it is just more fun to play than watch.

>>539586828I haven't had a queue last longer than a minute in weeks, are you doing something wrong?
>>539586828what an ugly body
>>539586887I'm 6k MMR with full behavior score, even when farming tokens and queuing all roles it can take me like 10minutes to find a game.
>>539587007maybe you're queuing during the unemployment hours
>>539587007How?
>>539587007I play at 2am and it takes like 3-4 minutes if that, you're obviously not EU
So... none of you are US?
the arcana market is crashing...
>>539587412lol who cares
>>539587412what's that symbol next to the numbers?
>>539587564british pound
>>539587564>>539587697That's euro
>>539587787is that what they use in russia
>pick coomer bait venge or crystal maiden and never play them>or pick ogre or pudge, and play themhmm>immortals>dont play QoP, phantom lancer is kinda meh,and hate the god awful helmet looking things on SB, Lion and Shadow Shaman
PA Arcana or Persona: which is better?
>If tariffs are increased substantially between October 21 and the date your item ships, we reserve the right to cancel your order for a full refund, or contact you regarding the cost difference.You didn't actually think you were getting a free aegis, did you anon?
>>539588143persona is sexier
>>539588192freedom ain't free afterall
>>539588080>hate the god awful helmet looking things on SB, Lion and Shadow ShamanYou can use the immortal effects separately from the hat itself for years now.
>>539588326
>>539588506i'm serious
>>539588583Ok riko ok
>>539588754i'm gay
they think I wouldnt notice?
>>539588869That much was obvious
I think I'm gonna get the Rubick arcanaI'm dogshit at Rubick but he's fun af to play
>>539588143
>>539589493i want to impregnate him
why is juggs arcana so shit?
>>539587412Style unlock is half the price innit.
>>539588143>do I want to rail twinks or thisYou tell us.
>>539589975Voiced by a wrestler for some reason
>>539590242You can use the normal voice with it. Personally I think the problem is that the base teal colour scheme is really ugly and doesn't fit Jugg at all, the second style is fine.
>don't like legion plus her arcana looks shit anyways>only other option is venge and I just personally don't like playing herBoy I sure do wish I got more than 2 options as an offlane player like every other role in the game does.
>>539587412The 2 bird arcanas are cheaper because you could buy them with the coin discount and even the base price I think was slightly lower than arcanas. I remember getting venge for like 15 euros.
>pick low apm str shitter like centaur, tide, underbellend>play a passive lane, rushing helm dom>get the item>if losing can jungle for free and manage the lane without even needing to be there, if winning the tower is dead and the lane will be pushed forever>find troll summoner>park him somewhere in the trees>1 > Q > tilde select all other units > a click enemy tower > 1 > stop>repeat every 20 seconds>one lane is permanently pushed and until the end of the game and the enemy has to witchhunt a neutral creep to unfuck it>their map closes super fast>win like 3 out of 4 games like this very reliably
should I wait for venge arcana price to get lower or should I buy it now?
>went from 96th percentile to 93rdEBIN
>pick purple qop dagger>it doesn't fit red arcanawhy live
Why is venge arcana dropping in price
>>539592843I went from 95th to 100, I am glad I got the arcana token.
>>53959457695th to 90* I meant
>>539592613it's free :)
>>539592613>back to $17 after hitting $13it's over bruv I hope you got it
This is your support dotard, say something nice
>>539586484pudge
funny number
>need to buy all the pathfinder packs and do everything in clownfall to unlock venges' 3rd style arcanaI keep forgetting valve's jewish tricks
>>539598145>grind to cover up bellyBut why would I do that?
Anyone know can i gift the arcana i get from the token? Don't really like any of em and a friend would prolly like it more
does anyone have a site where i could find people willing to buy the aegis discount i got? none of my friends wanted it so i thought i could at least get a couple of bucks from it
At first I was excited to get a free arcana now I'm sitting here doing fucking homework on how the gem system works in this stupid game.
>>539598980it says on the screen mate
>>539600195>extract gem>item gone>gem getsimple really
>>539600309yeah but you have to read tho
>>539600325I have to find youtube videos of all the gems, check their price on the steam market, check their price on 3rd party markets, then determine if I save more money by getting my "free" arcana + buying the gem either 3rd party or on steam, or if I'm better off trying to get the tb arcana i want with the gem inside already. Its a lot of research.
>>539600325>>539600569And thanks to your post, I'm now considering if I could save money by buying an item that isn't the TB arcana, but has the gem I want inside it, and breaking that item to get the gem out of it. There is layers to this shit. Usually some nerd on reddit or something will have it all written out. I'm not worried about saving 4 or 5 bucks but some of these things go for a couple hundred and I wouldn't mind buying a gem like that if it looks cool.
>>539600569o i thought you were trying to figure out how they workedyea thats a bitch
orange gem looks so fucking cool with the TB arcana. i think it's one of the pricier ones though, unfortunately.
>>539580334a few of those guys still play and are immortal or divine
dota just doesnt do it for me anymore gamers... is helldivers 2 fun? anyone played it? Does it have a sense of progression tailored towards NEETs who need to feel like they're accomplishing things like with mmr in dota?
the dota plus sub gets automatically applied when you accept it?
>>539598145>best style comes pre-unlocked>2nd worst and worst style are behind FOMO shitValve is great
>>539602249helldivers 2 is the most depressing game i've ever played i think
They said I could pick tb arcana, extract the gem and put it in a courier and sell itis this real
megamente bros.... not like this
>>539602643how come?
>>539603167this guy's streams were really fun, it's not often you get a pro player with a fun personality
can't decide which purple hat to get
Yup im definitely shitpooled
>>539603167Unfortunate phrenology
>2% off from getting purp immortal FUCK YOU
>>539603130Is her leg okay?
creator's light or summer's warmth?
anyone want the 50% discount for the 75USD purple AEGIS? I want to trade it for one arcana, PA/TB/SF arcana.
>>539604667>her
>>539605059God I hope so.
>>539602292If it comes as an item, no. It'll sit in your inventory until you redeem it. I didn't win one so I can't say if it will be an item.
>>539603130Yes, but TB arcana is like tree fiddy so it's not worth anything, and people will just buy the gem they want instead of going for a courier. Courier with somebody else shoving a gem in it is less value.
>>539603778same, i should have got to top 100 to avoid this problem
When the fuck are they removing hotd from the game
>>539605784PL one fits the other immortals, the lion skill effect is pretty cool and qop is also niceleaning towards PL for now
>>539603778I gotten the shadow shaman because it is the most purple.
>>539603231maybe it's because i played with higher level friends but i just ran behind them and didn't really do anything for 10 hours and uninstalled
>>539603167Giant bros aren't eating good either..

are there enough viewbots to go around for all these new retired pros going streamer

na dota is dead long live EU Dota!
>>539608569imagine still caring about rtz LAMO
I have an ench request, is that one anon still around
>>539608649I don't have to. I always cared.
well yea if he wants to play pro againhe has to go to EU
>>539608569this guy is coasting off his 2013 streams cause he is a souless husk of a man in 2025 idk how anyone finds him enteratining
>>539609057post it anyway
>>539609150rtz aill never ever win ti, one of the most overrated pros ever
>>539607163and then he burnt himself out from streaming too muchand quit

do you think we will get to a point where all heroes have 4 actives without the need of aghs or shard?
did you touch his pp
What are some heroes I can play as pos 1 to deal with tanky lineups? I normally play heroes like AM and PA and they just get dumpstered by Axe and pals. I'm open to non-conventional options, I was looking at WW before her facet got changed.
^ that is not dota 2
>>539609773ursa?
>>539609773lifestealerursa
>lose a game that feels totally unwinnable because of bad draft>zero motivation to play afterwards
>>539609773naix, slark, ursa, timber, necrolyte
>>539609692I hope not. I already hate that valve are trying to push luna's moonshield ability so much.
>>539594059Supply and demand
>>539609174No he wants an Ench picture, as do all of us
>>539609940if you could forfeit early then those games wouldn't be so badbeing stuck in a game that lasts 40 minutes with no chance of winning is so awful
>>539609773The RPS triangle of dota is:STR > INT > AGI > STRFat HP > magic burstCC and spells > squishy AGI carriesAGI carries with lifesteal > Meat shieldsThe answer is to just farm well, and then get BKB and Satanic so that you can just beat the fatty to death by doing more damage than they wish they can, and living longer than them.Axe dumpsters melees because he has high armour and lockdown, but you get past that by having BKB so you take no damage from Blademail and shit, and then pop Satanic on Axe while he can't do shit about you healing more than he and his teammates can damage.
>>539609174Lemme get a fuckin uhhhhench excitedly buying herself deer crackers at that one park in japan
>>539610597;3
>>539610597Wait a minute...
i'm 24is it too late to get into this game?
>>539610941no, unless you want to pretend to go pro
>>539611190i just want to be at least decent at the game
how long does it take to get out of nigpool
>>539611234I'm immortal and 10 years older
how are you meant to deal with muerta killing everyone in 3 hits while being immune to damage for 8 seconds
>>539611310Geez gramps you may be 34 years old but I wouldn't start calling yourself immortal just yet
>>539608569FUCK IS THIS NIGGA DOING?!
>>539609057probably not(rip)
>>539611415Bait it out then run away.Also all of Muerta's damage becomes magic damage so you just get a BKB/pipe/glimmer, and/or just blow her up with spells.
>>539611310You are also brown
>>539610941just play deadlock instead, it's gonna get all the support, all the cool cosmetics and all the big battlepasses that dota once got
>>539612141actually, not joking at all, i also considered playing thatbut it looks so unfinished currently and unbalanced currently so i figured i just dip my toes into this game first to familiarize myself with MOBAs first and if Deadlock ever reaches a 1.0 release I can jump ship
>>539583860He's been to hell and back, and back to hell again
>>539612729theres no transfearable skills especailly not for a new player
it's crazy how americans turned twitch on friendless people seeking parasocial content simulatorit's not that there aren't NA dota streamers, there are no GAMING streamers in NA hours, all the games have way less viewers and just chatting and camwhoring are all at their daily peaks, what a disgrace of a country, I hope they start killing eachother even more often in there
>>539591735Yea i got sjw mage for like 18$
>>539612875maybe true, but deadlock seems too unfinished for me to justify spending time on it
deadlock is not even going to have tf2 numbers 1 month after it launches
>>539612141lol deadlock players are shameless i tell you
BLAST Slam IV, how does a neet join this event and have a shot to become a pro doto player?
>>539614384well first you spend 20 thousand hours to get into the same lobby as a pro player then you add them on steam on network with them to get into a team
>>539612141>>539613596>>539614087why are opinions on deadlock so split? don't you guys think it'll do dota 2 numbers?
>>539614661ohh networking, that could work.
>>539614384wait till we get a rank reset lol to actually give new players a shot at it like astini said
>>539614696>dota 2 numbers?ahahaha, no chance, dota has no competition cucklock has 99 team shooters to compete with
>>539614696deadlock would be very luck get to tf2 prime let it get there first before we start talking about dota/cs
>>539615730>dota has no competition uhhh it lost to its main competitor ackshuallly
>>539615669I am herald, but I played with immortals, and the skill gap is like not that much... maybe their micro for like healing, for example if they have like bottle and they have branches and tango, for mid lane player, they will swap out the branches to cooldown and bottle, up, little things like this, I thought it is a bit too try hard, that is the only difference I think.
>>539616025
>>539616025i like the confidence lol but your cooked
>>539616342How am i cooked? I won against immortals... the problem is that in pub, especially SEA, its extremely impossible to win. and I solo-ed pub all the way. I also had fun in my other accounts. I'm actually guardian now. SEA matchmaking is filled with MMR bots too.
>>539616631post the screenshot of your game to see if you got carried or did your part dont get me wrong i have seen crusaders do well against tier 2-3 level stacks puppy stack a few months ago was having issues with a stack running with a crusader
>>539616867I tried to 1v9 with URSA, broke 20% of their throne but 5 on me, was too hard.
void spirit does like no dmg... wtf is this hero supposed to do... Im surprised it was even picked at TI
Anyone have a more pathetic star, I don't even think it's a star to begin with
>>539617894are you a dota2 girlfriend
we're backwe can still win ti
>>539619572OMG I MUST WATCH THIS!I LOVE WATCHING WHITE PEOPLE LISTEN TO NIGGER MUSIC AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR TEAMMATES!
>>539614384There is an open qualifier to qualify to the closed qualifier to qualify for the event.You could theoretically do that.
>>539603130Please tell me that's a boy and he's wearing a cage and there's more.
>>539619718Open qualifier? Do they take solo players?
>>539619960No. You'll have to find 4 friends.
>>539620003>BLAST Slam IV,ah, fuck, something I don't have,
>win like 5 games in a row>all of a sudden I get pos1 players that has zero impact in my gameshmmmm
>>539619572slowpoke anon
>>539620263Congrats, you're now getting bots to make sure you stay at <~55%. Working as intended.
wtf they removed Cmex
>>539621834NO IT CAN'T BE, it sounded like a smoker with lung cancer laughing.
99th percentile and no aegis, sad. Infuriating because top 1500 is full of bots but valve doesnt bother doing anything, its basically the same account repeated 100000 times.
Why doesn't the Quartero set work on Arcana Venge, I can get her to pose in her golden metal panties but I can't get any cleavage, no that's too much
Is pure really that much of a upgrade over Crystallis
>>539623940Considering his performance this TI it's probably not. He fell off.
was the dank memeiore ever completed????
>>539623016Because her entire "arcana" is tied to her chest piece. They should've made it base model like earth shaker but no.
>>539623016Why does she have a netflix manjaw?
>>539624653>Netflix manjawExplain, not every women have the same oval shaped jaw, some have different shapes and still look feminine like Angelina Jolie.

I'm thinking I need to buy a new mouse, I've been using this chinese one, it's good and light and competetive counter:trannies love it but it's not wide enough and I think it's hurting my forearmsI'm a weird person because I use fingertip grip but my hands aren't small so I need a wide mouse to be comfortable, long time ago there was one, corsair sabre, which was the most comfortable mouse I've ever used but they don't make it anymore, they changed it's format completely on the new versionsanyway I need a wide and short mouse to use with fingertip grip, anyone knows any?
>>539626929logitech gaming mouse is probably your best bet to find something you like not sure what your budget is tho
remove this fucking dota plus queue again shit already keep getting 12 min queues only for some spastic to hit queue again because the match was 4/5 instead of 5
First thing that comes to mind?
>>5396280928.00
>>539627418their only wide mouse is the g303, which is whatever

Why did Ame pick Juggernaut

Best pos 4 guy to watch?
icefraud has been found dead.internal bleeding, sat on a dildo way too big.he had a folder with 214 new deadlock heroes finished, 0 new dota 2 heroes.
>>5396319349class when he starts streaming again. His games are ridiculous.
>>539631934depends on the hero
>>539631934Mira 9class pos 4 is the position that doesn't have a lot of streamers
I will never understand why yapzor and miracle quit being pros when they were so good and could make tons of mony
>>539632280miracle has already earned $5m and supposedly has health problems, he hasn't officially retired (but playing in nigma is like being semi retried)yapzor kind of similar case
>>539632280miracle has killed his intestines by drinking 20 tin cans of redbull a day, he probably has a fucking pissbag right now
why are you guys so afraid of deadlock?
>>539632280Both of them retired because of health reasons.
>>539632721I started playing with this new update. It's pretty fun, but a lot of abilities and items are ripped straight from dota which seems lazy.
>>539632721nobody is though
>>539632721Lol afraid of what?? deadlock player begging for dota 2 players and other to play the game??
god we need a Visage arcana so fucking bad bros...........
marci's stun is actually broken and should be nerfed, I think it's the strongest stun during the laning phase in the entire game
>>539632280Playing Dota professionally is a massive time commitment, you literally need to grind pubs nearly every waking hour for 6 days a week.He also got his millions, why not retire and actually enjoy life?>>539633745>arcana for the like the 2nd or 3rd least played hero in the game
>>539634650>he's not enjoying grinding dota 12 hours a dayFucking weak cuck.
>>539632721Two different games.Dota is a sprites based 2d game at its core.Deadlock is a 3d game with Y axis freedom and gameplay. But deadlock matches take twice the time of ow2 and apex legends so I don't see how it will get players.Dota is more accessible for all age groups and better suited for quick reactions.
>>539612729If you want to get good at a game play that, not the highly abstract genre.Also they are fundamentally different games at their core even if they superficially use abilities and have teams fighting each other.
man seeing someone with the purple items get me mad knowing i missed out on it by 1%
>Get the same baby raging Axe for the third time>Starts raging about me taking the occasional CS because he thinks it's League, saying something about "retard faggot shit">Connection issues start at minute 40 for close to 10 minutesAt least the free Dota Plus is cool
>>539637380Looks like Axe did his best to carry you, stop feeding.
>>539637991Axe didn't do shit the entire game besides run around like a retard trying to dive people for kills instead of doing objectives.The only reason he didn't get skull fucked in lane is because I was there to babysit him.
>>539636816Nah
>>539637380Lol idk how someone can be stuck at 1 mmr it's actually impressive
>>539637380i feel like i could solo these games in that rank
>>539638297I'm not sure either.It's most likely the behavior score being low.>>539638303Everyone says that, but I've seen Immortals that get 50 kills in a Herald game and still lose.
I bet i got 1501.
>>539638303Trust me, when I first recalibrated, I was placed in herald, impossible games after impossible games, it took me weeks to even STAY in guardian. SEA matchmake is fucking dogshit, the amount of 3rd world just makes it impossible.
>>539638460>Everyone says that, but I've seen Immortals that get 50 kills in a Herald game and still lose.They're throwing to stop their smurf from ranking up.
>>539638905You write like a 3rd worlder too
>>539638851awww poor you
>>539639039well, I'm ESL living in the first world.
>>539580651>in da past haha>therefore my strawman won you're refuted I accept your concession
>>539638260Understandable, take care moron lil cbro.
>>539639527Do you not understand the concept of people not wanting to play unfinished games?
>>539639026Not always.Also most of my games have people connected from other continents, so that doesn't help.
>>539639771Dota 2 was at its peak when it was unfinished.
>>539639959Doesn't count, it had a whole other game to base on
>>539639942>Not always.Are you a mind reader?
>>539640131And it didn't have all the heroes or mechanics from that game until 2016.
heh dota had 120 out of 122 heroes this is the same as a game not having it's core gameplay figured out yet
>>539641329Yes.Also most of the time it's an Immortal that got recalibrated into Herald and has to spend forever climbing out.
>>539641846>Also most of the time it's an Immortal that got recalibrated into Herald and has to spend forever climbing out.If they got recalibrated into Herald it's because they're Herald skill level so of course it's difficult to climb out.
which purple immortal did you get and why?
>>539642997SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!
>>539641549Dota 2 had half the roster when I started playing in 2011.
>>539642997QoP is the only one that matters. Glad I got it.
>>539643154did you redeem (sir) the dota plus? are they activated immediately?
>>539641549Dota's core gameplay is constantly evolving though.
finished my esl disconnect loadout
>>539643252It's an item in your inventory that you have to activate manually
>>539643469thanks, it's safe to redeem then, I can't play lots of dota right now I want to use it when I can
why are arcanas 2x cheaper at steam market?
>>539643879supply higher than demand
>>539643879free arcana some years ago + candyworks arcanas + this event devalued arcanas a bit because people redeem the free ones and sell their tradeable ones
>>539616025Yeag
Deadlock will be around 10 years from now. Dota won't...
>>539644046Bait or genuine delusion, call it
>>539644046I won't be around in 10 years if I don't sort my life out
>>539644119The shift in resource at Valve is already happening. It's in no way a deslusion
>>539644289Oh, I guess people will stop playing Dota because Valve works on DEIdlock.After all, TF2 was shut down and isn't playab- oh wait I just topscored with Spy an hour ago
>>539644289Even if Valve stops all development of Dota (they won't). The game will still be around. Fucking TF2 is still one one of the most played games on Steam and it hasn't had a meaningful update for 8 years now. Plus Dota existed long before Valve bought it, and it will exist long after.
>>539644369>>539644481Well, people still play Artifact, but that's the definition of a dead game
>>539643154but her red immortal is also good>>539643090that's not an immortal
>faggots say dota will die>faggots embarrass themselvesevery timedota was supposed to die 10 times at this pointif in 2016 you had bet "will dota be around in 2025" you would have lost that bet, lost all your money, lost your house, and you would have killed yourself and we wouldn't have to read your shitty postsgo make a polymarket market or whatever you do over there, "is dota going to have 100k average concurrent players in 2030?" i'll gladly put up some money
Would anyone like to join me in playing the open qualifier for BLAST Slam IV? SEA only, if you are in SEA, let's form a skirmish team and fucking go!
>>539644529Artifact has low double digit daily peaks. TF2 has 50 thousand. Dota has 800 thousand.
>>539642997I didn't have to choose.
>>539644741And how many players will these games have in 10 years? Be realistic, man. Deadlock is the future.
Guys HotS will KILL Dota!I always lel'd at this belief that every Dota player just fucking hates Valve and years for Warcraft/Blizzard to liberate them. HotS will make all the dotards migrate. WC3 Reforged will make all the dotards migrate. Blizzdrones were the most inept, braindead company fanboys by a mile.
>>539644998I used to think exactly like that, when HotS first came out, after I tried HotS, I immediately jumped back to Doto. Doto is just polished, even for a 10 year old game.
>>539644998HotS is a meme, hyper-casualized gameDeadlock is a serious attempt to fuse MOBAs and hero shooters made by IceFrog himself
>>539644864>And how many players will these games have in 10 years?It's coming on 10 years since TF2 had a major update and it has 50k daily peaks down from an all time peak of 250k. Dota is at an 800k daily peak down from a 1.2 million all time peak. Even if Valve were to completely stop updating the game (which again, they aren't going to) we would expect Dota to still have about 250k daily peaks in 10 years. No, it's not dying anytime soon.
>>539645202Icefrog isn't a visionary and didn't even create Dota
>>539644864>And how many players will these games have in 10 years?dota2 will have 500k players in 10 years
technically dota will probably increase in players because the less valve works on it the more players we have
>>539645243it turned the clay that was dota into the statue that was dota:allstars
>>539645243did I say he create MOBAs? he definitely made it a phenomenon >>539645215TF2 does not have a direct successor/competitor made by the same company, though>>539645268Substantiate your claim
>>539645268>>539645363I think it will only decline, especially with the amount of tiktok brainrot, they fried their dopamine receptors with doom scrolling, so if you really want to keep a healthy population, you need to have seasonal MMR ,or some kind of hook that zoomers can fuck with.
>>539645363kinda how I feel about TF2, it wasn't left in it's peak state, but taking Dota changes as a benchmark Valve would be doing retarded shit with it like reworking fun weapons like Direct Hit or removing Spy's backstabs and reworking it into some weird full support class nobody enjoys playing.If I could trap Dota in amber it would be around 2017 after Liquid had won.
>>539645432>Substantiate your claimwhat?im refuting your claim that dota2 will die in 10 years
>>539645202>Deadlock is a serious attempt to fuse MOBAs and hero shooters made by IceFrog himselfAnd very few people want a fusion of that. Most Dota players can't shoot, most shooter players can't into strategy. It's like saying ice cream pizza will be a huge success because people like ice cream and people like pizza; there's a market for it, sure, but it's not going to overtake pizza or ice cream.
>>539645521dota doesnt need new blood to survive
>>539645432>TF2 does not have a direct successor/competitor made by the same company, thoughIf Deadlock is similar enough to be a competitor to Dota (lol) then CSGO and CS2 are absolutely similar enough to TF2 to be competitors.
deadlock is boring, matches take forever, the cs hurts your hands because aiming on creeps for 1 hour, the game is just bad, they thought adding everything together in one game would be a good idea but it isnt
>Great Confluence releases>It's a port of every Dota version ever created>Including pre-Dota 2 that had shit like 27 spells Invoker>Can create a lobby in any version>Bundled with a tool that let's people look up lobbies for desired or similar versions and match them more or less by skill>Also a regular "old version queue" where the active version cycles every week>Valve announces no longer working on Dota>playerbase quadruples anyway because of all the people who quit coming back to play their favorite versions
>>539645646I agree, mostly, but deadlock is not something new, in fact, we already have overwatch and marvel rival, deadlock is exactly like HotS. It is something nobody asked for, and is just going to sit there with small community of retards.
>>539645625I provide the reasoning behind my belief. You should do the same>>539645646Smite, though not much of a shooter, proved that players want a third person action game with item building and macro mechanics>>539645763And CS won handily. See my point?>>539645870OW and Marvel Rivals are different enough from Deadlock, I feel
>>539645864Sounds like boomer central, it wouldn't take off, sorry
>>539645969>I provide the reasoning behind my belief.where?
>>539645745Old people will die, it will decline, doto need new blood.>>539645864No, doto should be icefrog's magnus opus, it should become as good if not better than chess itself. When icefrog finally decide she will focus on creating the real DotA, the DotA that deserve to become an olympic game, that is when DotA become her legacy.
>>539646090>Old people will die, it will decline, doto need new blood.the "old" people of dota arent dying for another 40+ years......
>>539646158With covid vaccinations, and let's be honest, bad diet and sitting all day, they probably going go sooner than you think. You need new blood.
>>539645870Overwatch already committed suicide and there is no chance in hell that Deadlock will overtake Rivals. At best it will be the Dota to Rivals' League.>>539645969>Smite, though not much of a shooter, proved that players want a third person action game with item building and macro mechanicsSmite never hit more than 20k peak players and is currently a dead game. I personally had some fun with it but it's clearly not something people wanted. Also a 3D action game is hardly comparable to a shooter.>And CS won handily. See my point?And yet TF2 is still around and being played by tens of thousands of people to this day. I accept your concession.
Every game needs new bloodDeadlock is looking to be the perfect replacement because it has very modern design sensibility but still has that unique IceFrog touch
>>539646315you'll die in the next 10 years with that attitude
Deadlock = concord
>>539646320Smite died because of Hi-rez mismanagement (like all their other games)And let's wait and see how many people will be playing TF2 10 years from now. I reckon it would be much lower than what you expected
>>539646320>case and pointValve made a grave mistake, did not learn from the mistake of HotS, nobody asked for it, nobody wants another Overwatch or Rivals, why play deadlock when Rivals is much cleaner? why play deadlock when Overwatch is the OG?
the qop immortal is meh, it's the PL one or the Lion, hopefully I'll decide before 2030
Next TI is gold right?Did they do the same color ordering the whole time? We're like on the third cycle now right
Rivals do not have enough polish to compete with Overwatch, and not enough depth to go against Deadlock. We'll see more of this as time goes and as Deadlock gets further along. If I were in charge of Rivals, it'd be focusing on some kind of coop PvE mode to focus on right now.
deadlock? more like dead game lmao
>>539646989KEEEEEEEEEEK CLAPPED THEIR ASS

>>539647778Completely random. You can get 6 Arcanas while another player gets 6 rare sets worth 0.04$ each on the market.
Lol deadlock players have no shame begging for players like they do we know the game is on another decline but we can't save it for you
these deadlock memes come from insecurity from you guys
only thing that will kill Dota is my own game based on my own IP that I will definitely make
>>539648243hey yames
HoN Reborn finna put this game in the dirt
>>539648243>based on my own IPI wouldn't recommend it.What if somebody tracks your real IP and decides to DDoS you?
>>539648438The only thing that can put this game in the dirt is Icefrog herself, if she continues to be distracted, instead of working to perfect DotA-All Star, into her magus opus, into a game that is better than chess.
love that blizzdrones don't even attempt anymorecompletely buckbrokenthe most raped fanbase in all of gamingvalve won
>>539648438Lol so we going to have reborn players and deadlock players begging for players
>>539648438why do you think garena can do it right this time?
>>539648546>icefrog>herself>sheWhat is this horseshit
>>539648649the devs are white this time, not asian

You guys are going to play reborn for a week at most before dropping it let cut the bs here
>>539648990where does this white development team exist then?
>>539649040germany and sweden is where most devs are from
>>539649032it's just a side game, dota will always be better than hon
>>539649103ok, but they must have a facility where they are working
>>539648659icefrog is a woman, it is so fucking clear to me, and to any other autist, only a woman will decide to create those non-sexy female characters, masculine shit like dawn breaker, if it is created by a man, it will be like league of legend, every splash art is sexy af. The aesthetic alone is enough to convince me that icefrog is a woman, not to mention her attention to detail for the map making, and the cute persona pudge. I am 99% sure icefrog is a woman, and probably a conservative feminists kind of woman.
>>539650898icefrog doesn't do visual design you fucking donkey
>>539649103from what im reading the programming team is mostly left overs from frostburnthis game is doa for sure>sea publisher>shit american developer>already stated the game isnt base hon
>>539651382>already stated the game isnt base honwatWhat's the point then? What else would it be?
>>539651443>This modern version of HoN aims to blend nostalgia for old players with significant updates for new audiences, all while maintaining the core essence of the original game.

will valve ever add stuff like ray tracing to dota? does it even matter? my gpu is old but I plan to upgrade in the next generation
>>539656705Their biggest appeal of games like dota and counter strike was that they could be played on a toaster in a 3rd world internet cafe. They'll lose a lot of players if they make the game require much better hardware.
>>539657219see? this is why dota will eventually be replaced by deadlock: a hard-headed community of boomers who refuse changes

Why are games just stomps now? Either the enemy team gets stomped or our team gets stomped. It's never a fair matched balanced game where both teams have a chance. Shit s decided at draft

I think I should quit too, there is no real opportunity in doto, on top of the fact that, I am in such a shit rank, that I can predict the future, some people are just too retarded for this game, and there's nothing you can do to fix that, the amount of loss and rage I gotten from this game is not healthy. Maybe they will change their ways, maybe not, see you guys next TI or maybe never, CS is full of hackers, Doto is full of cheaters, in the end, they get what they deserve, and I deserve much better, a peace of mind, so help me God, that they learn from the vengenance of God. BYE! It's been a fun 1 month!

I just wish valve would invest in the game again, if we get another The Summit event every 6 months it would revive dota 2 back to 1.2 million players daily
Remember that year they didn't announce where the next TI would be held and deadgametroons were spamming about there never being another TI and the game being dead?
>>539668380The game is dead, when was the last time we had an update?
>>539668426

When do they usually do the thing where you can vote on what new sets go into the game, feels like it's been awhile since we got one of those
>>539672353i think soon, i think it was sometime in november last year

>>539666024By the time you get a midas and something with it you've lost the game because you didn't have a real support.

why are games over by 20 minutes and then extended by 10-20 minutes depending on how hard the enemy team wants to push ?also is there a secret server option for white people or maybe something in the arcade ?

>>539679646It is pure suffering at every rank on every server.
Ill reach 1,2k hours in dota soon and Im Legend 3 so far, was close to Archon but took a break and played some games on tilt... Anyway, I've switched to Dota after years of playing League and I think I'm ready to make a post comparing those 2 games, maybe some people would be interested in that. The thread is slowly reaching the bump limit so I'll wait for the next thread unless there is no interest here for me doing that
I fucking hate pugna, I hope the next patch shitcans hims so hard no one picks him for a year
What the fuck is going on today.!? Every game is TI tourists feeding 10 kills on the first 5 minutes.

>>539684339>>539684734you should considering quitting and moving to deadlock, they both have giant learning curves, so why not spend effort on valve's next big multiplayer game?
