people dont actually think the great confluence was supposed to be anything other than the introduction of void spirit rightit's been years upon years
2 total dogshit teams in a row
I'm confused as to what to build on PA. I am only now starting to play her and I have no clue on what to build apart from battlefury. I just played a game where I went BF vladis heaven's halberd and S&Y, but this was mainly due to the fact that I was playing against a huskar and a bristleback so I thought that I needed a lot of sustain. Admittedly, I kinda felt reluctant in buying vladis, seems like it is really out of meta. But if I want lifesteal on PA, what other option is there? I'm not building a fucking MoM on the squishiest hero in the game, that would be too high risk and honestly downright retarded. HoTD used to have lifesteal and it was good, but it was removed and now all you get is a creep, I don't want to play like some asian kid in a lan house that has just sniffed cocaine, I can't deal with micro-management. Any tips? Butterfly, maybe? Might not be the best idea either since it's a hero that already has evasion and that makes it obvious for anyone on the opposing team to buy mkb.>>540647570I held out on buying bkb for a long time because I didn't feel like I had enough damage to justify buying it. I can't just go satanic and bkb without having enough dps. Should I be buying something like a daedalus to hit hard while having bkb? She hits for shit without crits and just regular attacks, there definitely needs to be at least some type of dps item involved, which one, I am not sure.
I've been playing with/against the same Slardar picker in my games for weeks nowhe just picks slardar every game
Paca hero when?
maelstrom and mjollnir are shit items and if you build them then you are shit at the game.I have never one single time in over 7 thousand hours of playing built these items not even one single time.
would dota 2 still be alive without the dogshit competitive scene sponsored by russian / arab gambling companies?
>>540649975no esport would be
>queue for pos4/5>instant match>queue for pos1>6min wait
>>540649975yeah because 99999 out of 100000 would still play dota even if the comp scene was removed tomorrow
>>540649496what makes them popular? so many build guides recommend this
>>540649496Maelstrom and Mjollnir are great items so you're just bad.
was watching some wodota videos and man..... they really ruined the gamelots of the skill plays were SFs hitting 3 razes on fog/invis heroes and nowadays you can hit 10 razes on a support at minute 15 and he won't die because he gained 4k free gold and has lots of itensthey took away the lethality of the game a lot, dota now is like a massive pillow fight
>>540651639>build guideslol
can invoker rape this patch? haven't played in a while
patch status????????
>>540648740you're not supposed to pick pa, hero is garbage
>>540652363not ready yet
>>540652570I'm a pub shitter, doesn't really matter what's good and what's bad, it's about abusing items and the game. Which is what the pros do, except minus the entire part where the players are good and the games make sense, it's all just pants on head retarded drafts and even worse builds, literally nothing matters in the trench. I'm convinced that I could make it work somehow, if I just got the correct items down.
>>540652721Radiance manta
>>540652721
>>540652301Yes, however you build him, people doing helm of dominator -> drums -> aghs -> travel -> vyse -> octarine -> shivas and abusing his summoning abilities.

>>540653365Just take me back, I miss the warcraft 3 units and map and the orb effects so much.
>>540653515Im happy pa is bad. Nobody likes 2k crits
>>540653365well no, blink dagger is cancelled by hero damage today
I enjoy the Eye of Skadi and the Vladmir items so much, but I only play support so I never get to build them.
>>540649348we already have hoodwink

mason is raging
>>540663849i missed itwhat happened
ursa does too much damage
>>540666038which is crazy since the hero scaling is garbage
mason said he'll play another game for 3 gift subs and someone gifted 5 subs
mason said the poster below gets to suck his balls
>>540667160then allow ME to garble dem nuts
>>540667516is mason legit good?
>>540667878no, hes too old to be legitthat said hes a pub star
6 loss in a row. this one to end the night
>>540669184you just didnt do enough
>>540667878in a way, yeah>>540668242yeah, mason is the definition of pub stomperhe is genuinely good at the game
>>540669306it's only my second dusa game
>>540669306>dusa winning against drow/sfnever gonna happen
>>540669184I see the problem, you've got your game set to "french," which aims to make you lose and surrender for simulation purposes
>>540667516Just watched his stream recently.Other than anger issue and broken filter he seems alright, not as bad as reddit makes it out to be. Way funnier than top dota streamers for sure.
bros, dark willow is a lot of fun, her aghs is a ridiculous glass cannon
>>540669572Why?
Hey tourist question how come they don't have more truly random proc chance abilities anymore?
>>540677905too confusing for your average dotard

i'm a support cuck
>>540654802Sven says hello
>>540648740I've been playing a lot of PA lately. SnY is just people copying the previous patch mindlessly or torte de lini's guide.I've had more success with bf, bkb, desolator, and then picking whatever I need after that (ie basher, satanic, null, sny... whatever). I just found deso is absolutely necessary to be able to burst heroes in a single phantom strike and makes your dagger good harass while I'm waiting for the right moment to jump in. PASS damage currently is just garbage and you're honestly better off playing sven who does what PA does but better.>Butterfly, maybe? Might not be the best idea either since it's a hero that already has evasion and that makes it obvious for anyone on the opposing team to buy mkbThey will always buy mkb against you. I often don't take the lvl 10 evasion talent because of it unless there's other auto-attackers on their team that won't buy mkb.
>>540683491>SnY is just people copying the previous patch mindlesslySnY is retards going MUH STAAAAAAAATS and refusing to buy a BKB. They'll buy 20 other items before buying a BKB. I know BKB sucks but fucking hell man, just fucking buy it so you can stop being stunlocked every fucking fight. The status resistance is NOT the same as immunity goddamnit.Makes me cry when it's my cores.
quick, post your favorite chatlogs
>team gets aegis>tell team to just control the map and not push high ground>tell them to just wait>they all decide to push hg>they diefucking retards, i told them and they didn't listen
bkb is the second worst item in the game
>>540686371the worst being?
>>540687182my anerosit vibrates too much
>>540648306It's crazy how the Position 5 Sniper in my games don't want to get Dragon Lance and Maelstrom, but they HAVE to because they don't trust our carry. It must be so hard for them but I thank them for their selfless sacrifice
>>540681073we are

Got ratted by Lycan in a 70 min game :(
the wolf is at your door
I know legend games are a poor sample but I don't get how skywrath is balanced. you just rape mid then proceed to rape everyone.and if you don't rape, you can buy shard and farm until you rape, something you weren't able to do previously.
is the three falcon blade kez something youre supposed to do, or a meme
>>540697965Hard countered by BKB and somebody punching him in the face.
>>540698250they won't have time to farm bkb.
>>540698273They will because Legend Skywraths don't know how to push, and close a game in 30 mins.
>>540697965>countered by BKB>can't take towers He's bad OD
>sniper loses the lane to a pudgenot touching dota on the weekend
stupid question but I feel like I haven't seen this mentioned online in like 7 years. is it less popular than it used to be or that's just my experience
>>540698825It's just you.
>>540698825makes sense
Im going to have a terrible hangover day all day today so i guess its turbo void spirit spam
Should I buy diffusal on void against a medusa?

>>540698938>>540699104this game*
>>540698467Forgot to mention that pudge had his team mates come help him all the time and sniper never had a single team mate TPing when pudge is diving
>>540703420pudge solo killed him 3 minutes into the game, his 2nd death was to a ganking Techies which he could literally see for a full minute. He also missed like 90% of the creeps on laneKill yourself subhuman nigger
>>540698467>not touching dota on the weekendUnironically you're the only constant, which means that there are 5 possible "weekend dota" players on the enemy team but only 4 possible "weekend dota" players on your team (since you're not one).Odds are they are going to be on the enemy team.
>Sand King makes the mistake of taking sand storm lv 1>feeds first blood>feeds my lane>feeds in every teamfight>ends with >20 deathsI almost feel bad. Almost.Fuck SK pickers. Especially if they're fags spamming sand storm 24/7.
>>540704689it sucks having these mouthbreathing retards no matter if they are in my or the enemy team, easy wins are just as bad as being stomped
>>540698467>hero loses to hero that counters him???
>>540705542what skill is sk supposed to take lvl 1

>>540708352if you don't comply to whatever retarded play your teammates all agreed on doing you'll get mass reported and they might even ask to report you in all chat which others will do

>>540705542ss lv1 is good no? it immediately forces the enemy supp to begin sentrying so that your supp can counterward and it takes attention away from the 1-min camp block/deward
>>540712392we need to pump her numbers up
>>540712817it means that if they put a sentry on lane (mandatory with SK) and reach level 2 before you you're cooked

Im playing this game and everyone on my team just sits in the woods and refuses to play like literally afks and 30 seconds before our throne explodes some guy is like report this guy(me) and im like wtf are you talking about im literally the only person playing the game on the team
>>540713234the sk lane is pretty hard to play regardless considering his lower str statthe alternative is having a low range stun on a 14s cd and once you use it you're just a creep. the ss gives you a fighting chance if your supp is good or theirs is bad>>540713664dragged down by scrubs not doing what you did - helping win other lanes, snatching wisdom, stealth warding and cutting waveswhenever someone picks NP on my team im super happy, and that may change 10mins in when i see what kind of player they are. sometimes i see NP's refuse to cut lanes and just take core farm or they never touch a tower
>>540714381yeah im not going to argue about that, np seems op as fuck. cant imagine being solo carried and not commending one for that though

What compels someone to use cheats in fucking turboi know the answer(it was a russoid), but it's still baffling
>another retard sperging about turbowhat the fuck causes this
bro talking about himself in 3rd person
I'd never play anything other than ranked
>>540727695i thought that once too but then i realized that endlessly trying to make number bigger was a lame
Lmao ES is probably the best hero in the game currently
>>540708874I started to realize there's certain heroes that enable retards more than others (heroes you pick, not just what they player). From the heroes I play, spectre is the clearest example. retards just do terrible initiations constantly and then bitch when you choose not to jump in. She also suffers the most from having retarded supports that don't let the lane push in for you to farm
>>540733415I stopped playing support Vengeful Spirit for that reason. My presence in the game would encourage retarded play by teammates because "Well, Veng will just Swap me if I jump in 1v5 like a retard".Same for Dazzle, SD, Oracle, etc.
>>540731924instant aoe stun is very strong
>>540734269>don't swap them>get flamed for letting them get killed>swap them>get flamed for letting them get killed because they could have lived with 1% hp left the reason why I stopped playing any heroes with team saving abilities, like dazzle, ww, io
>>540734948>enemy team has multiple heroes with stuns>ally jumps in without pressing BKB, gets stunned>use Cold Embrace/Disruption/Swap in the milisecend that he managed to use BKB between stunsOf course I should have simply predicted that the enemy team will be incompetent and fail to chain-stun my Sven, I really deserve the report and the screeching Sven for wasting his BKB.
>>540734948>>540734269Exactly. As a core player another one is Naga. Obviously everyone has an opinion on how you use song, but just dealing with idiots that only play brainless heroes like ogre and undying not understand what you feasibly can and can't do with micro is frustrating.
>>540736124It's fun to watch pros play heroes like Grimstroke and Wisp but the lack of coordination with randoms in pubs makes playing them miserable.
>>540736657Definitely. I can't imagine Naga support being any good in pubs and sure enough her winrate reflects that, despite her being so highly contested in pro play.
>>540736974That hero is guaranteed 4~9 reports every loss. If I play Grimstroke worst case I'll end up doing nothing due to lack of coordination and communication but imagine how many times per match you could pop Song to counter-initiate just as your teammate used a big ult or waste a few seconds off of their BKB when they jumped in right as you did.
7th consecutive loss now
>>540740117My record is 13 losses in a row.
masons games reminds me of mine8-9k is such a dogshit mmr did people really get that much free mmr from double downs? fucking hell just reset it
>>540737349It less about using song at an obviously terrible moment and more about all the times it is the right call, but your teammate is delusional and thinks they totally could have 1v5 the enemy team. Also it's harder as core naga too because your also trying to focus on actually doing damage while microing, at least as a support it's literally your only job in a fight.
>>540741272Does mason spam eu or na?
>>540741197broke the curse, finally got the hang of dusa too
>>540746993I always dislike picking pos5 Abaddon and then having my carry pick Medusa, since my Mist Coil (and later Aghs) is literally useless for her.
why is everyone who posts his games here so low ranked
why is this shit so full of bots
>>540747414What do you consider a good rank
>>540748227don't be rude to new players :)
your carry has picked clinkzwhat do you last pick mid?
Why can't I fucking kill any heroes as TA. It's so weird. All the damage and attack speed in the world, a slow and silence, crits and armor reduction out the ass, and they just simply tank it, or if they are supports, walk away.
>>540749306blame the last half decade of hp and survival bloat
>>540749096Something like Leshrac, since the enemy supports will be forced to buy Ghost Scepter for the Clinkz.
>>540749441banned 8/10 games, pick something else

Tundra.Pure
>>540752809Why would you bother hiding ranks?It's too easy to stalk a game just from basic information from a screenshot or greentext and get the rank that way anyway.
>>540752809They are the same rank as you basically, why are you pretending you're better than them?
>>540753371shit bait, retard
>>540753721It's true though, legend and herald are basically the same rank
I'm tired of everyone playing on US East except for Americans. I don't get why Valve doesn't add "Strict Language preferences" the same way they have "Strict Solo Queue" if I had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes but I could actually speak to my Position 1 I'd do it in a heartbeat
>>540754306i will never understand why us east is so jam packed with everyone but americans. i live in us west and queue for both but i cant actually remember the last time i got west
>>540747281I don't really like abaddon support otherwise, his issue is that he has no power spike in lane with level 2 like other supports would have. this game I had underlord as 5 which honestly might be a really underrated idea
>>540754759
>>540754306no you get peruvians
>>540752809>guess they are getting off to it or somethingMy only gripe with the low-ranked players is that they don't actually say anything interesting or engage in conversation. They just blog and leave. They don't even talk about game mechanics, or listen to tips/advice after asking for it. Almost like a pump and dump except they just drop a screenshot with no context. No, even worse, probably more like treating it like it's a Twitter post.
Looks like one of my teammates was playing with cheats? I got a mysterious and timely heal during a bad tier 2 tower dive. It sounded like my hero ate a mango, the +400 mana text popped up next to my hero but I got health instead. None of my teammates had any items that heal. Is that a known cheat? I report my teammates for cheating even if we are winning. I want to be able to spot this shit next time. Cheating really ruins the game for me.
>>540757709Are you asking because you totally checked the replay and didn't see them feeding you a lotus?
>>540757709https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Great_Healing_Lotus>Heal: +400Sucks to be a support. Make a great play to save your teammate and all you get is a report for your troubles. That's gratitude for ya. Carry trannies are something else.
>>540757840>>540758123It was my anti-mage that lotused me. And I asked because I watched the replay and didn't see any items healing items in their inventories during the pause. Anyway thanks.

there's a dota vtuber who is a japanese single mother working and streaming to support her child
>>540790154yeah thats me
>>540790154how will she pay the bills? dota's a pretty niche game to stream, little to no audience, (unless the steamer is a pro) even moreso that she's japanese. dota doesn't have a foothold there
>>540790636i will marry you>>540791441oopsi should have worded it bettershe has a job and streams as a "side job"her audience is likely just lonely weebs like me
>here's your balanced matchmaking broDoes anyone aside from bots and smurfs play this game?
>>540758123>>540758880>be carry antimage>save support teammate with lotus>support immediately thinks you are cheating>blogs posts on 4chan about you "cheating">other support players immediately assume carry must be the idiotThis is why we don't normally do shit for you support trannies.
>>540766663Post something new.
>>540773586Most people don't like the way their voice sounds.
what should i draw?
>>540757709How in your mind would a cheat cause you to get healed for a low amount You are a low iq person
>>540796274>implying all antimages are carriesDid you just presume the antimage's farming position?!!?!?!
>>540790154I like nanachi. I check her stream for time to time, she's cool. Didn't know she was a single mother.I wonder how she ended up getting into Dota 2?
>>540792126oh that's great then, but still, questionable game of choice for streaming side gig...
>>540797791Draw your last pathetic card, dotard
>>540797791Bored Venge with a t-shirt and underwear on a couch.
dotards??
Sven is just PA with more health and a built in AoE abyssal and better BattleFury
wrong
>>540813538>Sven is just PA, but differentAverage dotard brain at work
Will it ever come back?
>>540808612what to do today
>>540815483CUTE
Why isn't KEZ in captains mode?
>>540815153My point is he's just a better version of her currently, retard.
>>540815483Thats pretty cute, thanks anon.You also didnt make the mistake of giving her talons like the crownfall comic did.
>>540815327we didnt even get a hero
>>540816549Frog bard was datamined.
any sign of a patch?
>>540817325Bro, that shit was there from the first crownfall act.
what was his name again? he likes word "impact" in his guides. I wanna see what he's up to these days.
Thoughts on Zeus? Divine here, thinking of spamming him mid/sup.
>>540824793not a bad hero
>>540818608and?
>>540815630even if he was, he's so dogshit now nobody would ever pick him
>>540826654pros needs to teach us how to play him then
>>540826892he's uplayable now
>>540826892your best bet is finding 8kish autists spamming him, even Topson the guy who likes to keep picking weird heroes, deem kez garbage
>>540824793You'll always have good impact but it can get quite boring.
People who play support Sniper are so retarded in a weird way.Like, I see that a lot of them know their basics. They're fucking menaces in lane, they ward like good supports, they stick to teammates like good supports, they position well while dropping infinite Shrapnels and ults in teamfights, but they always go Aghs Khanda and just absolutely trash/throw away their early game advantage. There's an argument to be made for the faster cast and increased 1s of stun time and Break but man, it is not worth spending like 10,000 gold for it early game every game. Especially when the first thing people are going to buy against you is a Lotus Orb, and your spells gets cancelled by a BKB. So once the enemy team has a Lotus Orb and BKB, Sniper instantly stops existing as a hero and you're playing 4v5 for the rest of the game. Makes me feel like the support Sniper players are retarded but only in a specific way because of the difference between how they play early game vs the fact that they're playing to lose by going support Sniper (just like teams picking support Sniper just to lose 70% of the time in TI13).So, in my experience, support Snipers are a near-0% winrate, either side.But then I look at Dotabuff and Aghs Khanda is like 50%-60% winrate overall, and on d2pt it's 51% but it's also only 150 games so small sample size. I just have to wonder how pubs manage to lose to that shit more than 50% of the time. Either that early game advantage from having Sniper shit on your lane is just that good (the TI13 cope) or there's something else going on. The d2pt sample base could be explained away by him being a niche pick who counters something (but only barely since it's 51%) but I don't know what the excuse would be for the rest of pubs. It's so weird.Do you guys feel the same when you see a support Sniper in the wild? Do you like having one on your team?
>>540828278I had a support sniper pos4 recently and I was playing dawn so I really had a free lane and in addition we shut the enemy carry for goodhe did become useless afterwards but by that point the rest of our team was online and their carry didn't recover in time so we deathballed
>Kez is.... bad!watch wagamama play him and say that again
this is your mid ember spirit
>>540659321dota 2 fan content is just dogshit nowadays and you just have to accept it
>>540832848dotachads actually play dota instead of watching youtube videos
>>540833248i know im just saying fan content these days is just low quality meme garbage
>you now remember experience tomes
>>540832848>nowadays
>>540834509Better than EXP shrines we have now
>>540834509We should try to get back to them a little.Maybe make it so that you merely need the Wisdom shrine activated in order to summon a special shop, and jacking the shrine only blocks it for a while, instead of being immediately gamelosing.
>>540834509What a dumb concept and such a band-aid way of implementing it
>>540835924? why should the losing team get FREE uncontested xp
>>540836395midniggers and carrytrannies could buy the xp tomes
>>540836640they can use the shrines too...
>>540824793
>>540838236I'm scared Pugna will get heavily nerfed next patch, he's been insanely strong for a good while but pros have started picking him at the last tourneys
>>540839000Pugna lost most of the finals games during TI. If he gets nerfed, it's not because he's strong.
>>540836768but then they have to leave their farm... its so unfair why do the supportcucks get so much free stuff...
Really sad about what happened to gorgc.
>>540843368what happened

Is he looking for a dom daddy to tell him how to live his life or something? I wonder if he was ever capable of playing carry in the first place. Unranked is a weird place.

My MMR is 500. On an upswing from the 250 mmr trenches. Things are significantly different up here at 500, starting to see some use of wards and sentries, even dust sometimes. Having to radically change my gameplay.
>>540852687Don't need to go that far, there was a Balanar today asking me to "drain mana" from an enemy, turns out I was on shadow shaman and not on Lion, this is 5k bracket.

>>540862660How many Europeans are there between both games?How many Asians are there between both games?
>>540864823how large of populations to draw from for these regions?
>>540864823If anything it's SA that's underperforming, considering the overall population.
>>540865096Europe and North America have comparable population sizes. As for Asia, Taiwan alone has more players than all of NA. Hell if you're going to pull the "relative population size" argument, then even fucking australia with their garbage internet is doing better than NA.

>>540876382Prove it's deader tho. Doko has cheaters, matchfixers, boosters and bots. Valve don't care about any of those. WHAT ARE THE REAL PLAYER NUMBERS?
>>540875943Dividends is such a honeypot facet. I don't think anybody's managed to not grief with it.

>>540880490none of my smurfs were banned THO
>>540871576sounds about right i had ancient/legend friends who are now low immortal
Dota 2 without avoid list is UNPLAYABLE.
>>540880490>75,000Yeah I think it's a buncha bullshit because the numbers never went down.>>540880547>you're stupidNo u. It's not how Liquipedia does the whole country representation thing. It's based on your actual birthplace or in some cases citizenship, i.e. Bignum - a Ukrainian player in an NA stack was still accounted for Ukraine, not the US.Also, this guy's name is Felipe, very Brazilian and if you look at his list of results on Liquipedia you'll see that he used to play in full BR stacks.
>>540879869when the enemy support is camping you mid and you can't farm and your two offlaners lose to their carry solo and your offlaner starts pinging your items and the clockyeah galo sengen
>>540881598>Yeah I think it's a buncha bullshit because the numbers never went down.more people showed up for ti which made up the difference>It's based on your actual birthplace or in some cases citizenshipits bullshitfly is born canadian with an israeli passport yet he is consider israeli on liquidpedia
>>540875943>Alchemist that siphons a lane in order to buy radiance (farm booster) then buys aghanimsReally love it when some nigger gives me an aghanims that makes my hero worse (ie. warlock vs team with AoEs)>>540877501>Dividends is such a honeypot facet. I don't think anybody's managed to not grief with it.You have to play alchemist with an entirely different mindset that is simply not available to the retard last picking an alchemist despite nobody fucking asking him to, all to play him as a support.Seed money is still stronger because money earlier is better than money 30 minutes into the game and dividends only kicks in after you hand out an aghanims (never your goal) and even after it does, it's 70 fucking gold per minute.

>>540882071Didn't this picture used to have a Dagon or something, I hardly think a Ghost Scepter is a build yeah I know there's Nulls

>>540882442>I hardly think a Ghost Scepter is a build
>>540882071>gives me an aghanims that makes my hero worseWeaver is in this camp because default Time Lapse is a one-press insta-cast, while the Aghs Time Lapse is a unit-targeted cast so you have to double-tap or click on yourself before it activates. I learned this the hard way when I got fucked by an ally Alchemist giving me an Aghs and I failed to get my ult off.
>>540882427MGOD LIVE
>>540881827>more people showed up for ti which made up the differenceEven before that they never went down by that amount. >flyHe can ask LP to change that, the point is that it's a nuanced occurrence. Same with rtz, he wasn't born in Canada but represented Canada all the same. Both of theirs nationalities have both countries mentioned on their own page, by the way. Just not in the case of representation. But that Brazilian guy clearly was raised in Brazil, hence his past history and representation.
>>540882625One item is still not a build, also picture was drawn before facets and innates was a thing, also you're retarded, I'm retarded, also surprised riko would use the word retarded
>>540882797>Even before that they never went down by that amount.why would it have gone down before when the ban wave happened in august>Both of theirs nationalities have both countries mentioned on their own page, by the waybut only one gets used as a representative for tournaments
>>540882071Dividends would work so well if you're just giving yourself or one teammate the Aghs so that you can have a minor stat boost (because it's better than Agh's Blessing where you keep the stats), a powerful Aghs for somebody who wouldn't have one that early, and some gpm and dps as a consolation prize.But retards who go for the full 5 Aghs ASAP are such retarded griefers who don't think of such considerations. At 70gpm, an Aghs will only start to pay for itself after 60 mins. Each. So if you finish 5 Aghs at like 30 mins, you're not seeing an increase in profits until like 90 mins in.
>>540881598>Yeah I think it's a buncha bullshit because the numbers never went down.Ok, and? They just play on their main or on another account. Do you not understand what concurrent players mean?
>>540883053>but only one gets used as a representative for tournamentsYeah. I mentioned that. It's just that the guy you posted has a history of playing in 5-hue stacks since the beginning of his career. Would be a weird start for somebody who wasn't born there and also called Felipe. He clearly was. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it. He's clearly a huehue. >>540883354>or on another accountYeah that's the problem. You want >win traders, smurfs, and other bad actorsgone. Permanently.HWID bans, IP bans, electric chairs, firing squads anything. If there's no actual tangible repercussion for this type of behaviour then it'll proliferate further. Oh no, one of my accounts got banned, lemme just pull out another from my stash of accounts that I'll use to wintrade games on. It's pointless.
>>540879531I lost
>>540884016>smurfsI don't want smurfs gone at all, I think smurfing should be encouraged.
>>540797791round 2
>>540884916Really? Why?
Noob here.When it it better to have Treads instead of Phase boots with juggernaut?
>>540884942Enchantress in her underwear this time (she doesn't wear any)
>>540885106Because smurfing is good for the community.
>>540885164treads unless you think the phase boots active will be really useful
>>540885290How so?
mason carrying a game after being down like 32-12that's my 3rd place at ti carry
>>540885467Shows bad players what a difference in skill there is meaning they will try to get better instead of getting stuck in insane belief systems like shadow pools and forced 50 holding them down.
>>540885554Does he play NA or EU?
>>540885685i used to play both im pretty sureno idea what he's playing rn
>>540885164You can default to treads if you're unsure. Phase are decent if you think buying them will let you stay in lane, and/or armor is good in the game (youre vs TA or something), and/or ms speed burst is very high value (vs razer for example)
and now my mid meepo abandoned 4 mins in
>>540885680Yeah and for every one that decides to try there'll be a hundred that won't, yet it ruins games for the other team all the same. Not to mention you don't get to experience games in your own skillpool in a fair way, since you're effectively getting carried whenever there's a smurf on your team. Smurfs are massive faggots nigger ass motherfuckers and I'd argue they're not even smurfing for the sake of smurfing (owning noobs to boost their ego for example) but for the sake of acctrading or, in some other instances, rank boosting or potential future wintrading on higher ranks. Fuck em.
>>540885838he queues multiple regions but only pops for euw
>>540885274i wonder if couches would be comfortable for a tauryoud probably have to set it up perpendicular to the tv if you didnt want to get sore
>>540886764There's no need to be upset just because there's people better at the game than you and because you're at the mmr you belong.
>>540885290what a terrible opinion
Did you know that Dismember pierces BKB?I didn't.Now I do.
>>540886926When you're a deertaur the whole world is your couch
>>540886986why do you have a problem playing at the mmr you belong then?your logic doesnt make sense
>>540887181>Did you know that Dismember pierces BKB?>I didn't.cute newfriend
>>540887328I don't play very much Pudge because he's always banned.
>>540887310I do play ranked on my main, but I want to play ranked with my friends too. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to do the latter because shitters get upset when their worldview is shattered and they realize getting good will let you climb and there's no such thing as shadowpool or forced 50 holding them down.
>>540886986Smurfing is part of the problem and is a by-product of the aforementioned diseases plaguing the game. There'd be less smurfs if Valve were as good at beheading fuckheads as Riot are. In other words, if Valve gave a fuck. You have to be either trolling or profiting from it in order to seriously run a defence for this type of shit.
>>540887482>I do play ranked on my main, but I want to play ranked with my friends toostop being friends with shitters
>>540887576You're delusional, as to be expected from someone that thinks smurfing somehow harms the game and the community.>>540887607You want me to end life long friendships because I'm better at a video game than them? Something tells me you've never had a friend and I pity you.
>>540887830>>540887607 (You) #>You want me to end life long friendships because I'm better at a video game than themyes, if you expect to play ranked with themthat level of skill inbalance is game ruining
>>540887304must be nice
>>540887912I'd rather play on a smurf, which should be allowed. There's nothing in the steam ToS forbidding multiple accounts and the dota ruling on smurfs is nonsensical and baseless.
>>540888069valve has made it quite clear that smurfing isnt allowed so fuck what the steam tos saysyou want to boost your shitter friends which is game ruining such a selfish reason
>>540888204Pretty selfish of you wanting to stop people from having fun with their friends just because you can't handle being worse at a video game. Maybe you should stop projecting.
>>540888065A deer. a dog AND a picture of a goat, what more could you want
Is this a good build for pos1 razor?
>>540888393CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER
>>540888362im not trying to stop you, valve isand you can play unranked to have funsiesbut that isnt enough
>>540887830>harms the game and the communityIt does. Maybe not as much as other things mentioned above but it does deal damage to it still, you can't defend it. There's a reason you've got ranking system in the game. But like I said it's only part of the problem, there'd be way less players smurfing trying to make their way to Immortal, if Valve gave a fuck about boosting, trading etc.
>one guy on my team abandoned>game is safe to leave>leave>apparently my 3 other retarded teammates kept playing until min30 and destroyed all my itemsam I getting shitpooled??
>>540888972No, the game was safe to leave but you're a pussy for leaving a game that could've been won
>>540889176>mid meepo dc 4 mins in>you can totally win this bro!shut up retard
>>540889268I've won 4v5 games
>>540888972Should've waited to see if the enemy team dc's first. Retard pubs leave won games purely because somebody abandoned, like they're bots on autopilot.>enemy carry abandons 5 mins in>all my teammates leave anyway>forced to lose -25 MMRI don't understand what goes through these retards' brains.
>>540889375and I didn't ask about your faggot life
>>540889456Why did you give up?
>>540888972"Safe to leave" just means "safe from abandon penalties". Everything else still applies. Sucks to be a quitter like (You).
>>540889552because it's a waste of time?
If a person leaves before first blood the match doesn't count for anything.
>>540889786You could've won
>>540889826I think he ragequit because he died twice on mid and just dc
>>540889951It's silly, dying early on doesn't mean anything, kills later count so much more, especially if you are behind.
Nothing tells people you're bootyblasted beyond repair like saying "gg ez" when you lose.
>retard support does literally nothing to help as im getting ganked by the entire enemy team>he then pings my respawn timerthey need to add code to the game that causes the machine of anyone that does this shit to explode instantly, killing every single person in the household
Koi yaha Dota player hai Jo meri baat samaj ta ha?
sometimes i hate playing as 5 because retarded carry lastpicks the most passive pos heroes and you literally cant do anything during lane stageonly thing on the table is babysit, pull and feed this crying baby fat stacks
what hero would Bashar play?
Pugna is just the most fun support to playTusk is a close second but only if your team isn't a bunch a spasticssame goes for dark willow
>>540896872i think Bane is pretty fun when you can get away with casting all your shit and not getting blown uplike you Enfeeble the Monkey King carry so he does no damage, Nightmare the Centaur so he can't stun anyone, Fiend's Grip the Storm Spirit so he can't move. then now you just controlled 3 out of 5 of the enemy team and won a team fight basically for your team. that's like the ideal scenario to be Bane, but it doesn't happen a whole lot, but when it does happen it feels really good
>>540894821>Retard carry overextends>Gets killed>Blames the Support for not soloing the entire enemy team at level 3
>>540898074Why are carries like this?
>>540898247Because to play a Carry you have to have an ego.
>>540897261Yeah I like bane too but he's also one of those guys who need your teammates to coordinate a little, there's nothing like hitting a good grip, or setting up a play with the nightmare. What I really love with pugna is shard ward, you place a ward well and suck the hp of 3/4 enemies at once and they don't even know where it's coming from
>>540898074one ward or stun is all it would have taken for me to escape. acting like a little bitch and ruining the game because one person did one thing you didnt like 32 minutes ago just makes you a fucking faggot

icefraud needs to drop a new hero, my depression is sinking in too deep
some guy posted a on reddit that he had 20k hours on the game and he was happy about it, he loves the game, the comments were full of projecting losers trying to make him feel bad, guy was obviously in his 40s and well adjusted, he ended up deleting the thread, I can't find it, it's just so sad how this community is so full of emotional midgets that immediately think others are suffering what they suffer through every single day

>>540906073>https://old.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1ns0ren/20000_hours_in_dota_2_and_18_years_of_dota/Eh, seems like most comments are positive.

I'm starting to think playing a initiate offlaner is a meme if you want to climb MMR. If you play one you will most likely always die first in a team fight and be heavily underleveled, it requires your team to actually follow up and you will spend most of the game trying to find pickups and no farming at all leaving you even more underleveled/farmed.
>>540906971Should've picked WR.
>>540909119ideally you'd want your 4 or even 5 to initiate in pubs, depending on the characterjust play a vision hero instead of initiator, vision is almost as important in pubs than initiating

>Undying's ulti has some of the highest CD in the gameFeels odd
I seriously don't get it, I play pos3 and if I'm lucky my pos4 actually wards the enemy safelane pull camp and contest it.But whenever I play pos5 when I farm role tokens the enemy pos4 ALWAYS wards the camp and dewards like CRAZY, something I never experience with my pos4 when playing.And I'm not making it up, it doesn't add up that there's such a difference.

What do you even do against Troll when he has a BKB and Nullifier? Just die?

>go 9/0/17 at minute 30 as pos5>doesn't matter since at the end of the day cores don't want to hit buildings
>>540953636supports arent supposed to have killstreak that high, you'll be just a bag of gold for the opposing carry at some point
>>540954123you always have to nitpick every single thing to one up on somebody you're gonna have to grow up man, this isnt a healthy way of presenting yourself to others, online or out
>>540952429Thanks, I didn't know bkb disabled Nullifier
>>540954320not a nit pick thou , if you are the person i was replying to, you'll come to realize it one day
>>540918678Other heroes don't hard counter medusa, they're just not complete shit like the average hero against her.
>>540906971pick nyx
>>540953793I wish for nothing but cancer upon every filthy Slark and WR player
>>540955420Literally any hero that is even a halfway decent Diffusal user makes her life hell, even heroes that don't typically buy it like Ursa, Sniper, Jugg, Troll. Medusa is only OP in the minds of 3k players who refuse to adjust their build to fit the game.
>>540954123What does that even mean, should I let the enemy kill me every 5 minutes so I don't get a high killstreak?
>>540956717youre supposed to let your core get the kill
>>540955420>>540956624The bad thing about Medusa's current design is how she interacts with certain abilities like Reaper Scythe, Maledict, Ice Blast, etc.
>>540956842that is a feature
>>540956813Obviously that's what I try to do. If you play a hero like Skywrath and run around with your LC you're going to get last hit on Duel kills with your ult whether you want to or not.
>>540915631Her foot game is disappointing.
>>540957187such a specific situation that rarely happenswere you playing swm here >>540953636?
>>540958032Snapfire, with Puck+Mars on my team so I got a lot of ult kills when they used Arena/Coil.
>>540958225both those heroes are very kill dependent early
>>540958597Should I not have ulted and let the QoP/Ember/Void/etc. run away?
>>540958724you dont have to connect with each gob, if you think your core is gonna finishobviously its better to ks if the hero will absolutely get away

I really hate the new map. It's impossible to fully shut down a carry. We would bully the enemy carry out of lane and he'll just disappear into the jungle and it's a waste of time to try to find him since the map is so big.
>>540976002>i won the first 10 mins of the game that means i win it all rightno
>>540976446>It's impossible to fully shut down a carrythat was the point

"Kills mean nothing, Throne means everything".He taught you this lesson 12 years ago.
>>540978383>you shouldnt be allowed to farm on the carry or have team fight potential to turn a hard game "i have finished farming"? no just give up if you lose the first 5 minutes the game should just endGo back to league, the comeback potential has always been a core part of dota

>>540976446There are only 2-3 places he can run off to, and each area is only like 300 gpm. If you can't push objectives and/or ward his jungle in the 10-15 mins it takes for him to farm his next item, that is 100% your skill issue.
>>540978782yes bro just kill the throne while your deadlmao what a fucking retard
>>540982248>posting that in response to the player famous for ratting your base with his bear or treants whether his hero was dead or not
Been having so much fun spamming SS the past couple of months. Insane lockdown and hold, absolutely infuriating for the enemy carry. I'm scared of what the frog is gonna do in this next patch. He always kills my favorite heroes.

>>540956842Plus the Antimage - Medusa dynamic itself skewers both heroes balance relative to the rest of the cast, more so than any other hero pair because of how lopsided it is.

wtf you skip armor on timber now?
Do you prefer to build more selfish items or more "team oriented" items?There's so many times the team wants you to build blink or something for initiation on heroes that might not need it, but they themselves have zero followup... so what's the point?

>>540996261I hate having pos3 WK on my team. They want to afk farm until they have Radiance + Blink before ever coming to a fight, while my pos1 also wants to afk farm until they have 2 items, so we're playing 3v5 and hoping that the enemy team just doesn't feel like taking every tower and objective on the map.
>>540843962SAY SOMETHING RETARD. WHY PLAY A 5V5 TEAM GAME IF YOU ARENT GOING TO SAY ANTHING RETARD
>>540996261accept the loss and move onyou're never gonna sustain 60% wr but anything you can do to stay above 50% is worth doing
>>540996401WK is so fucking useless overall. Sure it's strong in the early & mid game but past a certain point you're a melee creep with two lives. It's pretty clear why it wasn't picked or banned this TI
>>540996606He's popular because you can play him with room temperature IQ, so every lazy/tired/high/drunk/sleepy/etc. player that doesn't want to do anything but felt like queuing up for some reason picks him.
>>540996860his aghs is extremely pub friendly too
>>540984208Your example is shit because Blink Dagger is always good to buy even if you're selfish because at worst, it helps you farm jungle.

it's crazy to me how good dota is, icefraud really is a genius of game designfew years ago I decided to start playing fighting games because I hated my teams in dota so much and I wanted to keep playing competitive games, fighting games are single player so it sounds goodturns out fighting games are complete shit and they only get worse and worse, they keep making the games more and more low skill for their lobotomized audience, they are also expensive and all youtubers are shills trying to sell you new gamesthen I tried deadlock and holy shit that game is pure garbage, the whole moba shooter thing is terrible, the game is not a moba, there is no decision making, there is no build variance and the game is also not a shooter because you don't need to click heads to kill people, what the game really is is a Valve retardation game just like team fortress 2, where the only skill is learning how to abuse the retarded source 2 physics so you can move on the map as if you were hacking the game because the plane physics are completely wacky ( this guy shows it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT_NIHF_25A )the reality is we are stuck with dota 2 forever, there is nothing even remotely close to how good it is

>>541005523i pretty much agree with everything you said, except i haven't played a lot of Deadlock, but i think it's kinda a neat gamei think Valve should make a solo ranked 1v1 mode of Dota 2, i think that would be cool. it would be cool seeing maybe like an additional event at TI each year where like the 2 highest ranked 1v1 players play against each other and maybe they get like a mini aegis or some bullshit

>>541005892SFV was fun, I had fun playing it was good, SF6 is a shit game where people rob you wins with meme buttons, all new fighting games are dumbed down versions of older games full of 50/50s, the genre was never high skill, but now it's catered to dumb people, it's simply not funand deadlock is just not fun yet, I hated tf2, I don't like meme glitchy movement that feels like speedrunning n64 games and "going out of bounds" and magically flying across the map because you crouched right after climbing a box and honestly that's ALL that deadlock has to offer right now, the moba aspect of it is such a downgrade from dota that not fun at all for me and probably everyone that played dota before

>Dota 2 community isn't total garbageIts funny looking at those posts because they clearly haven't had their games griefed recently since they don't play.
>boo hoo my games are griefedgrow a fucking pair

>>541053708losing XM is massive
>no new hero in 2025doturds.........
>>541047341>turbo
>>541055687I'm trying to grind my Behavior Score.It's not working because haha fuck you.
>>541053708Why the fuck did Xm leaveare they exchanging him and he's going to Tidebound?
>>541053708Also XinQ out? He was one of the best support at TI
>>541056051>>541056138They might want to take a break. The tournament schedule is kind of insane right now.But also NTS and fy are not exactly downgrades so who knows...
>>541056463NTS was shit past TI
>>541056463NTS has been incredibly inconsistent. He either has amazing games or he's invisible. very far from his TI10 formFy used to be the best pos4 but that was in his LGD era so like 6 years ago. Idk how he'll compare to XinQ

so as a new player, i looked up how midlane is played and it sounds like an even more CB version of League's toplane where even blocking wrong can lose you the matcham i missing anything? why would anyone be willing to play this and not lose their minds?
Is terrorblade harder to learn than medusa? Does he farm just as fast? I assume you can also join fights way early right?
>>541058484*CBT
>>541058484Ego
>>541058484Why don't you just play the game and make up your own mind
>>541056051Isn't there a rumor going around that there'll be a new team with him in it?
>>541059775>>541059981I'm not going anywhere near midlane atp
>>541060549its perfect for players that have a huge ego. midlaners have a lead on xp/level gain, their spells come online quick, and are the playmakers early on, calling the shots and all.
>>541060784which role would you suggest for a beginner to learn the game?
>>541045386Traxex? More like Footsex am I right lads?
Remember when they said that they'll stop doing battlepasses so they can work on more actual content and release updates more frequently?
>>541061828how has that been wrong? we had content drop like 6 weeks ago
>>541061859What content? The goat giving rare 0.3 cents sets from 2014?
>>541061920>it doesnt count cause i said sowew
>>541060853carry/botlane. game is centered around the role, if you learn it, you'd have an understanding on what they do, or what they need, when are they at their weakest/strongest. timings. when you eventually switch/branch out onto other roles
>>541053708lmao wait isn't this just lgd?
>>541062631thanks, i mained supp in league so that might be a good fit for me
>>541064369>>541064369>>541064369
>>541064375that thread is ass.
>>5410608535. Learn how to shop, ward, manage inventory, and all the timings of the map. Then you can move on to 1 to learn how to farm.
>>541058484Highest impact role
>>541058484It's easier in low tiers because you don't have to rely on a lane partner (who might be bad). I like that you control everything yourself.
