Frogman is objectively useless right now but he has SOVL. He's visually well-designed and his gimmick is fairly straightforward. Aside from being extremely underpowered his only real flaws are bad voice acting and the usual League shit where every spell has to do 5 different things.
In spirit, Marci is and always will be one of the worst updates in any game ever, and whoever added her should be blacklisted.
>>
>>550488931
The biggest issue unironically is that his ult doesn't do anything to enemies.
>>
What if frog could play different sequences of notes to get a certain effect?
For example if you play the Damage song 3 times in a row opponents in range get a debuff placed om them that stuns them for .5 seconds and then .5 seconds every time they take damage.
If you play movement speed twice and then heal song all allies get attack speed and damage.

That sort of thing. You could even give him a global nuke via songs to help his team.
>>
>>550489624
invoker?
>>
People comment on the healing aura being shit are playing him wrong. You should be playing the movement speed aura 90% of the game, helping your team move faster from one objective to the next.
>>
>>550489624
Even better, what if he forced the enemy heroes to play counter songs to negate his effects. That way valve will be forcing you to engage with this shit mechanic whether you want to or not.
>>
>>550489624
hmmm...
anything to make his instrument more musical

For the past 2 months every single behaviour score update my behaviour fluctuates between 10-12k and coomms between 4-6k, I can never get my comms score up to 7k or beyond, even if I don't chat AT ALL and I even occasionally get low prior when I never give up and always play until throne explodes

>>550495819
you still get reported based on what you build or not playing 100% exactly the way the shitskins and creaturas on your team want you to play.
>>
>>550494893
It's not complicated.

Creep waves come every 30 seconds. You just have to figure out what time the creep wave passes by the same spot in front of the camp every time. So for example, the wave passes the safelane small camp by the T1 around :20 or :50, so you start pulling around :15 or :45. If you're on the offlane, you pull the hard camp at about the same time. If you're safelane and want to pull the hard camp, you pull at :25 or :55 and walk diagonally south-east to the wave.

If you want to stack, you hit them a few seconds before :00 so they are out of the spawn box when the clock rolls over. The exact time changes per camp (e.g. pull camp is :55, ancient camps are :52-:54, etc.), which is what lets you do shit like double-stacking the hard+ancient camps together, so you'll have to experiment and/or practice.

They fuck with the numbers every other patch so your options are to just memorise them, or buy Dota+ because it shows you the stack time in-game if you pay for it.
>>
>>550495970
if that were the case your behavior score would be dropping and not just your comms score. i'm a toxic cunt and both of my scores are always the same
>>
>>550495532
You might have to grind out a ton of unranked or something where they don't care as much to report you, and then pray you get lucky that you'll get enough games in a row where you go positive without running into report-happy people. Some people suggest Turbo but solo queue Turbo in low BS/CS land is a hell for retarded people so I wouldn't suggest it personally.

Pro players notorious for bad behaviour or comm score (e.g. Quinn or Mason) usually pay Russians to spam 5-stack Turbo on their account so they have less people likely to report them over a few games so their scores go up.

Thats how mason got perma banned twice though and I don't want some filthy ruski on my steam account. I've tried turbo and unranked but i find both are worse than ranked because the skill level is dogshit and people just report you for anything, especially when they are queued up together and you flame someone in their stack, plus turbo has its own shitty meta that I don't care for

>>550497180

>>
>>550497048
Mason gets banned for it, but Quinn never does.

The difference might be that Russians are playing his account, vs Quinn himself is actually playing full muted while doing it. At least, that's what I think is happening. Maybe Russians are playing on Quinn's account too. But again, Quinn never gets banned for it.

But my suggestion doesn't change. Having a 5-stack would lower your odds of getting reported by teammates.
>>
>>550497548
Quinn didn't get banned because he was a "pro"at the time

It's worse because I actually liked him in the Crownfall story where he was still cocky but also very jaded. It was actually like a samurai who had experienced failed revolution.
In the game he's just a fucking annoying retard.
>>
>>550506128
Crownfall happens after the War of the Ancients so this Kez is pre-Crownfall, probably when he was still a cocky brat. But yeah, I hear you, a little nuance or variation would've been interesting.
>>
>>550507002
>after the War of the Ancients
It has an ending? Did Radiant or Dire win?
>>
>>550507430
We don't know.
Crownfall comic has Scree'auk bitching at VS that she left for the War of the Ancients instead of being a rage ghost doing her bidding or whatever, and then made fun of her for coming back because she did not get anything out of it.

It's probably some alt timeline where most of the heroes we saw never went to the war since they mostly don't know each other. Arc Warden was touring the planet instead of dealing with the two Ancients so presumably it ended for real or something, I don't know. They're obviously very vague about it.

>>550508128
Considering that war of the ancients is in a timeloop you could argue that its the endpoint of every timeline, where if one ancient dies it rewinds time far enough to have different heroes different adventures.
Or its just on a logic that you can only have 10 people fight in a war per war, so the rest can live semi-normal lives

No surprise that the worst part of Dota 'lore' is the actual main part of the game itself.
You have all these awesome weird heroes and you're supposed to believe at some point they get mind controlled/influenced by a giant glowing rock and kill each other.
And then it doesn't matter because it just resets.

>>550510445
>Considering that war of the ancients is in a timeloop you could argue that its the endpoint of every timeline
I don't know about endpoint. It depends on the mechanism for time travel.

Type 1 would be where there's only one timeline so them going back changes the future. (typical time travel story)
Type 2 would be that the timeline merely keeps going and only the Ancients' souls went back. So then the timeline starts branching at the starting point. (Madoka, MCU shit)
Type 3 is that the timeline already incorporated the time travel so nothing can truly be changed. (Harry Potter, Haruhi)
There's also a fourth possibility where time continues but the entire universe is rewritten to a previous state and then continues, like some fag spamming quicksaves.

Only in Type 1 could you consider that a timeline "ends" but only because you keep track of its existence on a meta level because in-universe it effectively ceases to exist so it doesn't matter.
Type 2 would have the timeline continue without them so their soulless bodies would be locked away by Arc Warden.
Type 3 can't happen if they're looping and having different variations of the war each time.
Type 4 is a possibility but the Ancients are objectively lower in powerlevel to the actual gods(TM) so they probably can't rewrite the universe.

We are looking at Type 1 or Type 2 for Dota, as it is ATM.

We also don't know where the loop starting point is. If the heroes don't already know each other, then it'd be have to be a starting point long before the actual final fight because the timeline has to play out differently for different heroes to hear the call for war and promises of power, and go join the fighting. Like, for example, Tusk would have to hear about it and be convinced to leave his pub to go fight, and then once he gets there (if he gets there), he has to be picked (and not banned) as a champion fighting for a side, assuming he's willing to fight for that side.

I don't get it.
I really don't.
What in the fuck am I supposed to do? I'm not playing Axe in every single game I can't fuck off to the jungle as Slardar or Night Stalker. Why would you pick "support" and then proceed to be completely useless in the laning phase?
Can valve remove Earth Spirit and Bounty Hunter from the game already? Or at least verboten these heroes from ever setting foot in the off-lane?
>>
>>550530754

Queue tokens probably. Same for every pos5 that picks Lion and rushes Blink Aghs with zero wards. Blame Valve for forcing people to queue up in roles that don't want to play.

im still coping from this treant rework. I play him as a support. the early invis is better for laning but it terrible for mid game in and out 's that cooldown is crippling. leech seed is unusable pass the laning the phase and suicide to cast mid game. the uptime for living armor got nerfed. grasp got buffed for the cost of losing the leech seed slow. shard is ok they should have at least keep the root when it cast og.
>>
>>550570851
talents needing an ability point never made sense to me
>>
>>550575614
Get Meteor Hammer. Use it out of invis to start fights, retreat, then use Overgrowth to reinitiate after enemy response.
>>
>>550576423
Meteor hammer buildup is fucking terrible for treant ever since they slapped a kaya in it especially if you are playing support. Also this is all shit tree could do pre rework anyway and almost never did.
Maybe you could rush one on pos 3 tree but even still most of those stats are doing fuck all for you and you'd likely get better farm speed just getting a fucking maelstrom or echo saber instead.
>>
>>550576423
funny thing is now my teammates force me to buy shard now instead of other support items like auras or blink so im more useless in teamfights because i lost leech seed.

>>550582881
The issue is the new shadow step and haunt are at odds with each other how you should play her.
Haunt suggests buying radiance and farming on the other side of the map.
New non-global shadow step with its much shorter cooldown implies you should be farming near your team and using orchid to go for kills.

Whichever one you build around you're not maximizing use of the other. Either way desolate scales slower so you not doing as much damage early on, plus you can't reality out to safety any more so going for ganks is risker than before.

The techies rework was part of the rewrite of DotA's soul. Sure, the kit he had from WC3 was for trolling pubs more than anything, but he was turned into a generic support that does a little bit of everything

He still doesn't have a passive for a rocket launcher that does splash damage. Reactive tazer is a terrible ability. Well, not because disarm is not useful, but it's weaksauce on a hero who should be chucking bombs

I have 400 games of treant protector and I fucking hate what they did to him. Even the stuff that is technically buffs feels annoying as fuck compared to his old kit.
Living armor feels like shit, eyes having a life time feels like shit, natures guise invis is nice to have early but the cooldown feels giga shit especially since the cd doesnt start until you leave invis, new leech seed feels like shit it feels fucking impossible to actually heal anybody with past 10 mins into the game.

It's clear they're indecisive about whether shadow step or haunt should be her ultimate. The simple solution would have been to make her facets a choice between which is the ulti and which is the aghs upgrade.

Also they should have kept her as universal. Not only does she get less damage from levels now, but she also gets less damage from items like skadi, linkens and heart as an agi hero.

My biggest complain is this. His abilities look like they're only ever operating as intended if every other player on your team is coordinated around making use of it. Too many conditionals and miniature dollops of effectiveness being doled out piece by piece.
600 damage to the face can't be argued with. Nobody is questioning a 2+ second aoe stun or point*click disable.

A semi-frequent AOE dot and conditional self regen on a tiny displacement are the kind of gimp abilities you stick on Black Hole or a someone who can teleport anywhere on the map 4 times a minute.

Come to think of it anything you can tell me you want Largo to do KotL does 90% of it

WC3 wasnt handled by blizzard tho, it was oursourced to a no name philipino studio.
Overwatch is probably the biggest example of quality you can get from blizzard these days.
Characters just have endless amount of interactions between them and even during extremely specific scenarios.
>>
>>550618630
You're forgetting Largo can't attack, which means an ENTIRE hero's damage, 100%, has to be subtracted.
80%-100% = -20%. Therefore, every time you use his song it's a -20% debuff to your entire team's damage for FREE.

>>
>>550619674
Not anymore, no. But you're free to explain where/when they put in voice line quips that aren't in the spawn room, or when they kill people. Because that's the point I was replying to. They have plenty of shit in the spawn room for specific teamcomps and shit, but outside, they only have kill lines.

Blizzard can't be assed to fix basic shit in Memewatch and actively breaks shit 24/7. You'd think Valve were highly attentive hard workers when you compare them to Blizzard's active abuse. And I bet they haven't fixed any of the longstanding bugs before adding onto the bloat and killing the performance at every update. And I bet shit like turrets still shoot straight upwards in replays because they abandoned the replay system years ago

MUH BLIZZARD POLISH stopped being a thing back in 2017-2018. The only thing they polished after that was Bobby Kotick's asshole and the daily employee breast milk supply.
>>
>>550619728
new venge yeah, anti mage no
>>
>>550620648
Sven's entire lore is that he's not human but an abomination hiding under his mask. Like I said when you consider how many cool not-old human dudes the game has, its surprisingly few. It's really just jugg and antimage.
>>
>>550621281
Jugg isn't human either
>>
>>550619153
Actually, you are low IQ and stupid.
If tide does 275 per ult times 5 that's 1375->1485 and say a sven cleaving that's also like, 200 per hit times five times 1.2 which is a lot so basically:

Simply out: largo is OP and he gives free (FREE!) damage. And he will get a 90% pick/ban rate in comp and you'll cry. Why?
Free. FREE damage.

He's not an abomination, he's a half-mermaid. He just grew up bullied by racists so he puts on the mask not just to hide but also to help him ignore people.

Walk your whole fucking team up and stomp on them trying to depush (now Diabolic Edict is a bonus, because instead of wasting energy on the building you're putting it on nerds)

He IS a ti winner. Yeah it was on the directement-au-billot year with both aui "fuck fair fights" and 33 "literally printing money" but he's consistently been top tier.

Speaking of ti, will pari ever win it or riyadh? I like these niggas when they work but they're so fucking volatile. If they get respect banned they're really prone to eating shit super fucking hard like their elimination series and all of their players are prone to hard bombing some games. 9class can be great when you give him his heroes but can also be a total liability, and they're a team that feels like they snowball in both ways - they win hard or they fall apart quick and hard.

went from like 1500 MMR to 900 - kept falling and falling
worst of all, the game is HARD. The opponents are legit hard, partly because my temmates are shit and just feed, making the opponents stronger. I really have no idea wtf is happening - am I in some kinda hidden, shitty pool? Does the game think I'm smurfing?
Shit, I'm an offlane player - used to dominate with undying, but I can't even climb with him for some reason. Did my skill somehow deteriorate?

I think you must br fundamentally retarded.
At this rank, I can body the other mid so hard it really doesn't matter what my team does and I'm not even good at this game.
Here's a small thing for you to ponder, you average less than 300 creeps in, on average over 50 minute games. How are you farming so little, what are you spending all your time in the game on?
Also, free Sniper tips: The other facet is much better if you want to be a core. And please, buy some form of mobility.

It's not a coincident, he calls those plays and there's plenty of footage showing it. It's solid when youre an underdog team with inconsistent players to steal wins, but Pure needs to realize he's not on an underdog team. It's better to play safe and rely on your teammate's superior skill to consistently close out games.

Shadowblade buff. Also the new level 10 talent is fantastic for farming so people are probably skipping falcon blade now.

>>550652259
Undying is always shit. Especially faggots who pick him in low MMR. If you want to stop losing, stop picking him.

At my level last patch, it was like:
- 5% winrate when he's on my team.
- 90% winrate when he's on the enemy team.
because he's just that bad.

There are only two types of people who pick Undying:
- Tryhard support players who think they can make support Undying work and win the game by 20 minutes. (competence optional)
- Utter retards who shouldn't be allowed to play Dota but all they ever do is spam Pudge Mirana Undying Veno Earth Spirit and be useless exp-leeching feeders in every single one of their fucking games. (99% of Undying pickers) Just pick Undying and feed off cooldown, feed feed feed. Run into the enemy team to feed because you're "TAAAAAAAANKING" and then run down mid with your FREE extra life to feed more kill gold. Absolutely useless.

People argue about how viable he is every once in a while but I have yet to see a single fucking Undying in the wild execute the theory properly and be worth having in a game. Even pro games, you get them clowning around doing dumb shit like buying Aghs while behind. And then pubs start blindly copying them and be extra fucking useless. I have Undying on my banlist purely so that my teammates can't fucking pick him and auto-lose the game. Fuck Undying, and Undying pickers.

So Largo just sucks ass right? He's got a good lane in theory but then he does literally nothing else past 15 minutes. He doesn't solve any problem, and unlike real supports can't kill the entire enemy team with brown boots and a cloak so he himself is not a problem that merits countering. And I don't even think he's THAT good at laning unlike dedicated oppressive laners.

He seems pretty good to me. He will be first pick/ban in pro dota since with just shard and one item he's insanely effective. Double glimmer, double solar crest, double lotus, double linkins.

I guess if pros want to run a diet Pudge that can actually support and enable mana hungry magic damage dealing mids, like Zeus?

Does the pro scene not just explode heroes in teamfights, anymore? Largo just seems like a solution looking for a problem, or a demand by an autist pro player that the only way they'll see Pudge being played seriously, is if it was a different hero with Catchy Lick.

idk guys this hero seems completely busted to me if you know how to play him. He's a teamfight god. Just buy a couple save items and bounce around while your team kills everyone and they don't die.

you might learn a bit more general experience playing whatever but the only way to actually exceed in ALL competitive games is to pick a few things and drill them over and over until you get really good at them.

He's pretty good except for 1 fatal flaw. He is a hero that has very obvious and popular counterpicks and if you are playing support undying you are picking first round.

Look Anon, the moment you asked about an ultra-specific question about a skill that has a history of being fucky and being changed like 10 times in the past few years, I knew my ability to give accurate and correct answers was limited. I didn't even know if other sources of damage amp might work on Desolate but not Pure damgae overall. Who knows? I don't. That's why I look shit up all the time, even during games. So I looked it up, gave you the link, and then told you to go read the full list of interactions because reading the full list in the one place it is collated and categorised is going to be better than asking randos on a Malaysian creep farming forum and getting the info second-hand. I pre-empted more of your questions on the topic but I was being neither melodramatic nor passive-aggressive. It was just to tell you that you are not going to do better than the motherfucking wiki, especially as your questions get more specific.

I'm sorry your persecution complex makes you see offense where there isn't any intended.
I'm sorry for trying to be helpful. No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

Go take your meds, and touch grass.

>>550716002
The games against pari right after patch were very scrappy, like genuine bloodbath with 50 kills in 25 minutes and no lead until HG throws.
Today XG just dunked them, came close to dropping the ball in spots but mostly outdrafted outskilled them.
>>
played normal first time in years with 5 buddies ranging from 3k to 7k mmr, why on earth there are people with 1-30 wins in same match ? and no they 100% werent smurfs they played like literal new players with skills varying from learning the buttons to void having 50cs in 30min stomp.
>>
>>550716002
They're a patch dependent team, or at least very slow to adapt. The same thing happened at the start of the year when a patch dropped that didn't buff their heroes.

you should check if you played against another 5 stack which could just be experienced players playing with their noob friends/friends that play dota when they can 5 stack only
i was part of that category for years before i finally started playing alone. my first 100 games or so was with my experienced friends. it was ten years ago though
>>
Why are branches 55 gold now? That's just a subtle, tiny "fuck you" that makes you feel bad every time you buy them
there is no objective reason for the to do that shit
>>
>>550716757
so they can learn the game
>>
>>550718195
they nerfed tangos so im assuming its so supports dont buy branches for their cores instead

There's no other feeling of owning another man like this in the world, I could've made him watch me fuck his girlfriend raw while she screamed my name and it wouldn't feel this good.
>>
>>550718181
there was a 3 stack and two solos. one of thet trio and both solos had under 50 games. I just don't get it why would they match against us when our lowest rank was 3000. I get its not ranked but cmon valve they haven't most likely have not seen every hero in the game yet and they get to play against two immortals.

>>550719492
The cherry on top is when their teammates all-chat asking your team to report him.

>Enemy team picks 3 blink users
>Our hard carry, after thinking, last picks fucking sniper
>Support complains about my lycan first round pick
>Win game because shitters can't handle knot fucking and megas

Sniper pickers are actual special needs.

Any time you walk into vision range you die, there's no counter to them farming you 5v1 for 20 minutes before losing because they're all level 5

Just pick a purge hero and laugh in his face.
Largo probably has a decent time in that lane :)

i'm a new player, is there such thing as one tricking in this game? or does every hero have a bunch of unplayable lanes/counters? i primarily play off lane and i think having one hero i play all the time so i can actually learn the game would be helpful
>>
>>550730308

>>550730308
Most heroes don't have many or any unplayable matchups, but they do have bad matchups. Cheese heroes like huskar brood or meepo do have some pretty unplayable matchups though.
You should probably have at least 3-4 heroes you can play if you are focusing on one role regardless though. Some heroes can get away with being played by an autistic specialist tbf too, particularly complex heroes that are not common in pubs.
>>
>>550730308
Yeah, however, to win as a one trucker you need to be an ultra high test alpha chad mandigo like Admiral "The Rat God" Bulldog, who won TI3 all by himself.
And let she real, you aren't me.
>>
>>550730308
one tricking is fine if you are new but once you hit ranked the dota ban system will eventually ban your one trick a few times that you will be forced to play a hero you dont play
>>
>>550730308
No because your pick will inevitable get banned at random.
You need to know 2 heroes at minimum. 3 if you want to keep it somewhat versatile.
