Out of all these Dota 2 exclusive heroes, I sometimes see 4 or 5 of them (MK, Willow, Mars, Muerta, Largo but it's the novelty), a couple more happen once every couple hundred of games (dawnbreaker, marci, snapfire, hoodwink). The rest is at the bottom, along with shit that nobody plays in pick-up games, like Chen. Why are Dota 2 designs so unappealing?

>>551655948
Observe also genshin characters like mona fischl and jean vs xilonen and varesa.

Observe snuffalupagus and Ernie vs TJ and Julia.

Observe early super sentai characters vs late. Observe donkey Kong and Diddy vs his whole family including a big booty slut woman donkey Kong (???)

Early designs are part of a collaborative process. Writers, artists sound designers etc all sit down and conjure a vision of a world and its characters. This is why so many dota characters maintain the fantasy Aztec look.

After the original process is done, characters get designed by individuals or small artist groups under lower budget. You get "I made this, is it close enough?" And the director says "well we already paid you for this one so yeah this looks fine. Throw him in!"

I have done some work re voicing Kez just for a personal challenge. I wonder if there's some way to mod the lines in

Do you play turbo only or something? Most new heroes are commonly picked in pubs while old classic heroes like PA and Razor and Riki are basically never picked unless someone wants to grief.

They can speak English, but there's been a resurgence of delusional nationalism and the rusnigs unironically think russian is a world language like English.

Way more than you used to have in pre 7.00 dota though

Tell me why I should believe that some other retard will win me the game?
If you're not pushing lanes, dealing damage and able force objectives yourself, you cannot reliably win.

Look, you're in shitter mmr and you probably don't have much higher impact as core than any other random shitter on your team when you play support. Just try to maximize your actual impact as support and you'd win more.

>carrytrannies getting uppity again
>>
>>551688228
nah u have just as much control of a game as a support as any other role.
if your teammates aren't willing to play the game it doesn't really matter what you play, you still are going to lose, its just the fact of the game.

supports have a lot of early impact and enabling competent teammates makes it very easy to win games, if your teammates are incompetent then you take the extra space provided to you by their poor skills and scale. what happens if you pick a support who cannot scale? well just don't, that is like asking what happens if I pick a mid that gets countered or a pos 1 who isn't that strong late game, that's apart of picking them.
>>
>>551688239
The best piece of dota advice I was ever given was it's better to do "nothing" than to force a bad fight or objective.
Take it or leave it but it gained me at least 1k mmr

>if your teammates aren't willing to play the game it doesn't really matter what you play, you still are going to lose, its just the fact of the game.
Yeah, exactly.

>now the fight isn't winnable
>retarded shitter cunt thinks he was right all along, reinforcing his shitty habits
>game is lost
Unironically the worst part of dota
>>
>>551689213
It is always wrong to do "nothing", because if you are currently winning, you need to force you advantage and if you are losing you need to find a way to close the gap.
>>
>>551689568
maybe you shouldn't have forced the fight if the guy clearly didn't want it, you donkey
>>
>>551689439
yeah and that is true regardless of if you are support or not?
there have been plenty of games where I am pos 1 and I am the only who is actually doing anything and the moment I show up the enemy knows to just focus me because the rest of my team is 0 contribution in fights or always off going to do other shit, you can simply never take a fight then.

if your teammates aren't willing to play the game it doesn't matter what role you queued up for, so what is the point of trying to even consider those games as anything but write offs? when you actually look at games you can win with people who play the game, support has as great of an impact as any other role. if you don't think so, you are just a shit support.

Hello Gulag
I have been out of the game for almost a decade, but recently I've been feeling the dark urge overtaking me.
Is now actually a good time to get back into it?
Is Eosin still a big deal in esports?
>>
>>551689768
I win every single game in which people want to play dota.
>>
>>551689610
No you really dont. It's fine to choke the enemy out of farm instead of brainlessly running at every enemy you see on the map and reactively tp'ing to every fight because you're winning currently.
It's every shitters worst habit and the moment you break it is the moment you stop being a bot
>>
>>551689748
How was the team supposed to know that cunt was trash at the game? He got a 9x report because even the enemy team knew that fight was winnable if he'd been there and hopefully got sent into permanent low priority where he belongs.

Sure it's a good time, new patch, two concurrent events.
>>
>>551689895
so you are unable to tell when people are unwilling to play vs things go wrong.
you clearly just see it as "if I win it means I carried and my team was actually willing to play" and then the opposite when you lose.
which is obviously not the case.

not really any point in talking to you when you aren't even here for a discussion and just want to vomit your opinions on others, why even make a post at all if you don't want to talk? that is the point of a forum, just say shit in your head you schizo and then we don't need to deal with you and you don't need to deal with us.
>>
>>551690052
>How was the team supposed to know that cunt was trash at the game?
How was the team supposed to know he didn't want to take the fight? That's the questions, that's part of playing the game. If one player has the power to decide whether you win or lose a fight, you simply do as that player dictates, even if your ego might not be able to take it.
>>
>>551690412
>you clearly just see it as "if I win it means I carried and my team was actually willing to play" and then the opposite when you lose.
No, because sometimes I win without having much of an opportunity to contribute to the game at all. And sometimes I get 4 players who are perfectly content with sitting in their lanes for 20 minutes and then wondering why they're losing.

Dota is a team game, you know.
>>
>>551690443
>no the TEAM is ego when they expect every member of the team to play together, not the cunt that solo ruins because of his ego
Every member has the power to decide fights like that, and every member is expected to pull their weight. Trash like him, and probably you, only expect to be carried and they do not deserve it. The absolute ego of cunts like you to think the entire team is somehow the egotistical ones for not bending to your shitter will is baffling.

What is the point of pulling?
I assumed the point was to do it when the lane is turbo pushed so it is closer to your tower and get the support some gold/xp without leeching from the carry but if you ever double wave you shit the bed super bad (aka don't single pull the small camp w/o double pulling/stacking).

Regardless you can raise your behavior score if you apply those steps and eventually play with humans again.

what if you went mid as clockwerk and built an orchid and then an aghs and then beat them to death with your +250 attack speed while they're trapped in the rage cage
>>
>>551748179
Orchid on Clock is a bait. Too many heroes have saves and shit to just bypass it nowadays.
It's much much better to just go Blade>aghs or just aghs rush if it's a bad blade game.
>>
>>551748179
just buy radiance
>>
>>551749067
Not good, Clock is a tempo hero and you need to be active early. If you save up for a radiance you will miss out on the period where you are the strongest.
You want to be active all the time after lvl 7.
>>
impressive how my opponents get free wins but i dont
>>
>>551749503
is that really what you tell yourself...?
>>
>>551749484
Clock has no way to farm and he needs some way to come back.
Radiance works, because you don't really need any items to play Clock.
>>
>>551733082
They're all so very situational
Crossbow if you desperately need -resto, Maul if you've been holding Curio for the meme, Rattlecage if you're fat or going to get nuked in melee no matter what.

ScreeAWK seems like it SHOULD be better than Unrelenting Eye but like...
Bola only good on super low AtkSpd hero
Mandible is for if you're hot shit and think you can parry the Finger

They're all weird little capstones and there's no guarantee you want any of them
>>
>>551749484
>Clock is a tempo hero
A tempo hero that gets his fight plan completed cucked by a single save spell/item is not a tempo hero.

He's a disruption hero early on that scales into an unkillable monster that wins battles by attrition, and as the other anon says he needs a way to farm into that mid-late game.

He doesn't need items to fuck people up midgame, hook + cogs is massive fight disables and disruption to let your other 4 teammates kill isolated enemies, battery assault auto wins you fights 1v1 against the majority of the game's roster. You want to be able to farm to be strong once those abilities stop having impact.

Personally I shift between radiance or mael into mjol depending on the game, but going orchid is a trap because you're just leaning into what counters Clock even harder. People will already build lotus/glimmer/force against you, all three items are good against an orchid debuff
>>
>Spirit Bear is now for all intents and purposes Universal Hero with 1.5 BAT and +4.5 Str/Agi per level

Tell me this isn't broken. It's weakness is the lack of powerful skills but as a meatshield ball of stats right clicker +4.5 str/agi on a 1.5 BAT with a chance to root on hit is an absolute monster of a hero once it gets some gold and levels.

>>
>>551752956
Shadow Step Spectre was a rework that resulted from people rushing Aghanim on her, which was too good, which is why it was now reverted.
She didn't get a "massive rework" at any point. First it was aghs being swapped with her ult and now it was reverted and she got a new spell. But she still plays very similar to the way she used to prior to the aghs being swapped with her ult.

even if he wont bother i did take a look and the evidence supports this statement

>>
>>551752208
So literally both druid and bear need items, and the bear needs levels (Which means the druid needs levels)

I would say midas, but now that midas doesnt give xp anymore you'd want something that just kills creeps faster constantly, so like maelstrom or radiance. Both scale with attack speed which Spirit Bond doesnt give anymore, which makes the argument for Mjollnir stronger because it has a hyperstone as a component.

But realistically any hero that wants attack speed AND damage means agility is strong.
Druid is an agi hero so going Agi on him gets him the damage to heal his bear and the attack speed to proc entangle charges. Bear is universal so bear just wants all stats.

It feels like focusing on attack speed on the bear is a bit pointless, when you can get more out of it by going all-stat buffing items like typical universal cores (like SnY, maybe Skadi, etc.) because the bear doesnt necessarily need high attack speed to proc entangle charges because thats what the druid ca n focus on

>>551760814
>You need those few extra items at start to be able to do anything

No you dont thats the entire point of the hero
Cogs blocks people or pushes people back and forces people to stand there right clicking to clear which is long enough to secure a kill on the other side, it does its job with zero items
Battery assault requires you just not to die and it deals an insane amount of damage for the mana

Hookshot requires nothing except the mana to cast it for multiple stuns

Thats its. Use those spells early on properly in a teamfight and you wont need items to win teamfights, thats always been clocks strength early-mid game

If you're struggling as clock early without items its because you're misplacing your cogs and have bad positioning for assault. Possibly hookshotting the wrong target too

LD is balanced because good teams will just pound the free (FREE) gold bag that is LD.

Because as a clock mid you are already losing the majority of your matchups, you have no way to clear the wave.
So if you plan on going for radiance you will be FAR behind the enemy mid and your level advantage will mean jackshit as the enemy mid will have far greater lvl and networth advantage. While you sit on no items waiting for radiance so you can farm and catch up again?

And as a clock you are the first one to initiate team fights 99% of the time, so you need that extra survival, if you rush Radiance you are as weak as a support and will die in every team fight putting you even farther behind.

That's so specific, that you're basically looking at some of the cheese autowin matchups in the game.
If you can achieve this level of pressure, you're already winning no matter what, because either the matchup is one-sided or you are playing against someone much worse than you.

>The offlaner can just go there and get the gold/xp anyway
It is now closer to your safe zone. You have a long way to run back to your tower, and they don't. If the wave is always by their tower from you not pulling at all to contract theirs, they will get much more farm then you. For fucks sake, why do you think its called safelane vs offlane? The safelane gets to play under tower.
>>
>>551694686
>>551790132
wtf are u schizos arguing about?
do neither of you understand what pulling is for? jfc what a absurd argument.

pulling is so that you can keep the creep equilibrium just outside of your tower range so that it is more difficult for the enemies to contest the cores farm and having them being able to (ideally) also sit under tower so they get bonus armor and regen from its aura and are harder to gank.
denying xp from enemies, getting gold/xp from the camp, all of that is extra benefits you might get from pulling but it isn't the main reason you do it, they are side benefits. the pos 5 pulling is doing it to secure farm for the pos 1, and pulling in offlane is to make it harder and riskier for their pos 1 to secure farm as they need to extend further out and are more vulnerable to harass with lower armor and less regen (no tower aura).

you only pull to fix equilibrium, it is tool, not something you do every wave, not something you even need to do every game, if your pos 1 can easily manage the creep equilibrium and you can harass away the enemy laners with them, why would you ever pull?

100% of the people who complain about a carry never coming to the fight are taking a fight across the map from them and expecting them to get there somehow
if you aren't taking a defensive fight under your tower, how tf are u expecting that person to get there at all? lots of carries just wont show up no matter what, but the people who complain don't even think if the fight is good or not until they lose and start looking for someone to blame.
>>
>>551797668
Im not very good at the game, but honestly i am always looking to use my long cooldown I'll as a carry. Anytime i can pop it with a decent chance of success i will. I don't think void or luna or jug or spectre or dusa or sven, should just have their ult up for 15 min at a time. That's usually the only time i get irritated at the carry. As long as they aren't stung a fuckload im usually p happy.
>>
>>551797668
Yeah I think a big problem is people not being able to judge when a fight is a good idea or when it's a kamikaze move, not being able to dodge the enemy team, overextending because they're chasing a pick off. People just get lost in heat of the moment decisions then expect you to follow them, it's ridiculous
That being said, it's often a very good move as a carry to gate as soon as you're level 6 and pressure the enemy safe lane. Though it depends on the hero, Naix for example has one of the strongest 6 with the gorestorm facet but some are weaker. Dragon Knight is also a good early involvement hero. But overall I don't see pos1 retreating into their jungle anymore, and if I do it's almost always a loss for me unless the other team doesn't know how to capitalize on that and lets the carry get too farmed

>>551799437
people really do like that though. just look at the average carry and mid. the most popular roles by far in dota
>no in my pro games carries and mids rotate and use their spells in between clicking creeps because blah blah blah
the average player is 2k mmr and they love just hitting creeps
im just saying i know for a fact if soft support got renamed to ganker/jungler and like 20-30 heros were converted to be able to jungle or jungle creeps early got nerfed or something. dota would be more popular, i know it deep down
>>
>>551798809
yeah most carries have learnt that you should be shoving out lanes and pressuring the map, people sitting in the jungle is far more rare occurrence.

>>551798417
yeah on the flip side though you have an ult reliant carry and get people taking fights away from them AND when they don't have their ult up and complaining, which is extra absurd.
most big CD carries are hoping for a defensive fight they can TP into or looking to blow CD on a pick off in the early to mid game so they can (hopefully) convert it into a tower or some other objective and its pretty rare I see them not using their ult. but it is annoying when people save their ult for some mythical big team fight 5 man giga ult instead of actually using it and getting value out of it
>>
brew is hilariously op, you're lucky he takes like 5% more braimpower or pubs would be miserable right now if people actually played him
>>
>>551802317
I can tell you for a fact that this happens even at 5.9k
and it always is the dedicated support players who don't understand the point of pulling, I never get a guy who is a core queuing as support who plays like this, they just forget to ward, contest runes, lotus, wisdom, and often are just pretty shit supports, but the support mains who don't understand the point of pulling or how much you can farm contested vs uncontested just pull every wave because pulling = good.
there is something wrong with people who only play support, it makes them do dumb things, they try to play core from support a lot as well. its weird.

If you want to play attack damage Hoodwink you can go either pos 3, 2, or even 1, but 99% of the time your team will think you're griefing.
Go deso first.

Done about 100+ matches just to find who I'm comfortable with. These are my picks so far. Any others people would recommend? Thinking of trying Abaddon and Shadow Fiend next.

stunted on by russian invoker
>>
>>551924708
you don't have what it takes to be a Naga Maestro, delete her from your reportoire immediately. Muerta is dogshit.
WK is not an offlaner, Shaker is a support or a mid, Omninight is dogshit.
Your mid picks are retard proof, so good job on that.
Hoodwink has bad numbers, Shadow Demon is a situational pick, Gondar is griefing unless you know what you are doing. Venomancer is trash.
>>
>>551924708
>100 matches
>useless fucking bh
just replace your entire support roster
>>
>>551925347
>gondar
>useless
He's the best pos 4 this patch
>>
>>551924708
Your roster seems weird to me, some of those heroes I think an absolute noob would normally have 0 impact on. SF and aba look like they belong there, so yeah. I feel you also might like chaos knight
>>
>>551924708
Depend on what you want from the game. If you want to have fun and enjoy yourself, then yeah, just do whatever. If, however, you want to git good and are looking to imrpove your rating, then that is entirely too many heroes.
>>
>>551924708
Stop picking OD because I stomp with him and if he's picked more there's a higher chance of him getting nerfed so if you're picking on him make sure to go meteor hammer and die once or twice early on.
>>
>>551925037
>Venomancer is trash.
highest winrate support on d2pt you dogshit retard
you dont even play the game
>>
>>551925347
idiota he is fucking op

Why did valve turn brew master into Gragas from league of legends? The same barrel roll ability...

I fucking hate this rng game
>>
should i queue ranked if im still trying heroes out, back after years and i suck but all pick unranked takes a long time to queue and the rank disparity seems pretty vast
>>
>>551928605
I pick new heroes in ranked
>>
>>551928605
do you care about your own mmr? if yes then don't do it, otherwise go wild
>>
>>551927662
they hired leeg devs a couple years ago
not even joking
>>
>>551929434
>>551929491
okay but what about role queue? i tried it and got support which sucked ass (1 hour 20 minutes game we lost)
>>
>>551929715
just farm role qeue tokens for a while, unless you are straight up playing with heralds those 1h20 games should be rare
>>
>>551930237
how do i farm tokens? just by playing role queue?

im so happy even ti winners have days like this
>>
>>551930370
yeah, if you role queue with all roles you get 2 for losses and 4 for wins
youll be playing supports/offlane a lot though so id recommend learning some easy meta heroes for those roles even if you're not interested
>>
>>551913487
You're just looking to show your ass and let everyone know you're a faggot, go cruise somewhere else homo
>>
>>551930941
because its forced 50
>>
there's so much magic damage nowadays buying eternal shroud is basically free win
>>
mek needs to heal for 400-500 to be viable
>>
first time lifestealer hes a lot of fun
>>
>>551932987
it would be way too good.
just 100 extra heal and thats enough.
it costs nothing.
>>
>>551930941
My main goal to get better in Dota 2 was to get "normal teammates", but then I find out it's like this everywhere, from herald to immortal. I haven't played in 5+ years.
>>
>>551933431
I don't like so much because if you fall even a little bit behind or are into heavy armor or reposition team or your team doesn't have lots of CC then you're fucked.
On a timer to get Aghs (on a timer to get Radiance) (which means you can't miss any CS, die or skip camps) or you instalose
>>
was this a fluke or is lifestealer actually good
>>551934392
oh ok so maybe a fluke? might try weaver next, but this was a fun game
>>
>>551934483
He's matchup dependent
>>
>>551934483
can't go wrong with free bkb in low mmr
>>
>>551916913
>>551917008
>>551917923
why are you stopping in the middle of a match to take screenshots and write up your thoughts on it?
just play the fucking game.
>>
>>551934624
>>551934629
i had a really good cm and we just tore through our lane, i like him a lot, any other carries i should try like him ?
>>
>>551649296
why is learning to play dota so hard? should I bother?
>>
>>551934841
its not hard most people don't even try to get better
>>
Brewmaster rightclick pos 1
thoughts?
>>
>>551934392
yeah lifestealer despite being a very simple hero is incredibly farm dependent and is very bad from behind.
so while hes not complicated, he really wants you to have flawless general mechanics
>>
is there anyway i can speed up my marketplace lock i already have steamgaurd
>>
>>551934841
it's not that hard, the big issue is that you don't really get to play dota most of the time.
>>
>>551931971
what is your fucking problem
>>
coming from deadlock i am jealous at how polished and robust dota is, hopefully deadlock will get the amount of love and care throughout the years, we still have stock half life alien creep camps after like 2 years
>>
>>551935546
it only took like 6 years for dota to get there
>>
>>551935546
because the people who made dota loved it, deadlock is the sidebitch
>>
>>551935546
Maybe if they turn deadlock into a normal game and not "dota but shit"
seriously why would you play that shit, when dota is right there
they don't know their own market
>>
>>551935546
it will, you can tell deadlock will when it actually gets closer to release.
but the game is literally still alpha, take a look at dota 2's alpha screenshots
>>
>>551936046
>>551936046
>>551936046
>>
>>551935770
i actually think deadlock is a lot more fun, and i dont feel the super ridiculous OP shit is nearly as prevalent in deadlock, but ive been enjoying dota quite a bit

biggest thing lacking in deadlock is the small hero pool
>>
>>551932127
immortal draft goes against the principle of forced 50 which relies on algorithmic decisions
