>>555935271No it's not.You can pirate the terrain by literally changing 1 file.
>>555935326That's an expression of pain not love
>>555935645Why did they flop the dota anime all they had to do was make it overly sexual and have le epic anime fights and linesSeriously i cant say since i never watched a single second of that crap
Oh boyIt's yet another Pudge Zeus Weaver Sniper Lion gameI sure do LOVE seeing the same handful of heroes in every single match in this video game with like 150 heroes
>>555935949Shortsighted that you are you fail to see, for all the fanservice we may have lost, we gained Marci lewds in plenty
>>555936104The khanda era is indeed a dark period in dotard history

>>555935513do explaini want to pirate stuff
>>555938746is there anything more cringe than this tb ench shit
So fucking tired of these freaks on my team
>>555939078https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1664733222
>>555940150A year ago I started playing DOTA 2 and I got to 3000 mmr in several months it's just skill issue on your part (I had around 600 games).
rubick pickers are the most insufferable cunts in this entire game
if you could define every hero by what amount of leverage that they have , how would you do it.
It's called defense of the ancients because everyone playing this game is a grandpaLMFAO! - rick
>>555940419>>555940150anon could just be unlucky , or could be good in theory if he were in a different braket , but doesn't understand that at his pool level , mitigating risk is way more important than just being good with 1 hero.
>>555942149the hell you askin'?
>>555940419it's not my profile you dense retard but the freaks i'm forced to play with
>>555943104unfortunately, the average /d2g/ poster is so quick to hatepost that they don't take the time to think...
>>555943553fuck you retard
>>555940353can you do this for weather too?
>>555943604well, gosh!what he sayin' fuck me for..?
>>555945260i dont get it
>>555945260d2pt copy paster and a nigga who phones it in
>>555943018like what are the type of leverage any hero can have on a match , for example some can have the leverage of being a win condition , so you need them or someome like them , to even be allowed to win. but their are other types of leverage , I assume.
>>555945260If you use either you're a slave.
how much toxicity is tolerated in dota? Can I say nigger? If not, what's the limit? And what's the worse that could happen to your account, just behavior point lost?
>>555947470The only punishment you'll get is a temporary in game mute that lasts until your next game, and you have to be really belligerent with everyone as it depends on how many people have reported you in that match. I call people subhuman nigger trash almost every day and my behavior score is at maximum. The only thing you get punished for is in game griefing or abandoning matches.
>>555947470write it on the minimap they cant report youdo swastikas and such as wellthe minimap is report free
>>555947882>>555948397Nice. Funny how all games used to be like that back then, but now there's virtually none that allow you to say what you want. I really need to get back into dota.League doesn't even have voice chat because of toxicity. It's a fucking joke.
Is there a reason why Announcer mods do not work anymore? Just came back to the game.All the methods i used to do dont seem to do anything.
>>555945260both mogged by dota+ ai powered by LLM running on gabens raspberry pi zero
>>555949283What, like unlocking in game announcers you don't have or a custom announcer? Never heard of anyone using mods for either
>>555949794Both, you used to be able to mod in completely custom announcers or just the ones the game already has, but it doesnt seem to work anymore.Im trying to google but cant find any help or post saying its not possible so ive been wondering.
Laning is the only fun part about mobas
>>555946843marci has leverage over my finances because she's my wife
>winning Dotka>stressing>have to play well>land your ults>save your cores>recover from throws>losing Dotka>raging feeder on your team>a fucking smurf on the enemy team>supports are faggots farming role tokens>cores are role token using shitters with delusionsRemember - every scrap of MMR you have, you earned.

>>555945260I use guides because I can never remember where the items are in the shop
.
>>555954971it means you scare them
i love having a 65% winrate as the one hero i can play well>out of role queue tokensoh no!!!
does anyone miss old dota? like 2015-2018? or even earlier?do you think the game is as interesting? I cant get invested in the current pro players. and I really dont like the direction the game has gone in. when i ask on reddit they say its just because im older
>>555955663i miss there being less information and there being less resources in game yea and i miss the map being larger, people say the map is bigger now but heroes can get around faster and outposts practically let the enemy team camp your base when you start to lose
>>555955663>post-7.00 dota>"""old""" dotalmao
>>555955663The Alchemist trilane meta? The Lifestealer meta? The Lycan meta? Fuck no.
Dota peaked twice. 2013 and 2021
>>555956440ok sir sorry sir. enjoy neutral item slop 5 core nu dota
>>555957008>5 coreNobody is asking you to play Turbo.
>>555957008>5 coreThat hasn't been viable for years
>>555957340tell that shit to my sniper zeus windranger weaver pos 4s
i asked as a question but if you dont agree with me youre a retarded nigger who cant be more than 2k mmr.
Thoughts on nu dota?
>>555957476Hey, nothing wrong with pos 4 Weaver. Leave me alone.
>>555958038Reported for Role Abuse. Go fuck yourself.
theres a guy in my current lobby pool who each time I play against him picks gyrocopter pos4 and rushes phylactery and just spams the stun rocket and it's actually a pretty good nuke. But then he has no impact, aside from that one thing of course
>enemy picks a support hero on mid>I can't laneClassic.
>>555958218t. retard who can't win lane with FREE minus armour
>>555958725>win laneDamn. If only IceFrog didn't change the entire game, repeatedly, to make sure laning isn't the sole determinant of how the game will go. And you being an annoying faggot with your shitty Spirit Vessel won't come back to bite your naked, item-less Weaver later.
>>555959087Sounds like somebody's throwing away their early game advantage by lack of macro understanding. Which is a skill issue. On your part.
>>555959253You're a fucking imbecile, and your team carried your handicap of an ass. "Support Weaver" literally never fucking worked against me.
>>555959401That's nice, sweetie.
>>555959509post dotabuff within the next 60 seconds
Is aura razor legit? Guardian Greaves first item feels like griefing but after watching a replay it helps early game tanking and mana problems and lets him spam Q and tank creeps for passive in jungle.
>>555959610https://dotabuff.com/players/113664644
>>555959620Stop copying pros without pro teammates.
>>555959686yours not mine retard
>>555959854So it does work
>>555960278Greaves provide a basic dispel and some regen. Are you getting kited to shit by slows, preventing you from stealing that damage?
>>555959686>exact same item build every game>plays literally every dayhonestly sometimes i envy npcs sometimes i dont play dota for a weeki called in sick the entire last week and didn't do shit and now im dreading boring monday worksomeone get me out of this 9-5 hell hole please
we won't ban the frog because we know how to beat him....
someone was getting really toxic at me for not pressing euls scepter of divinity on him and then he asked me if i knew that euls can be used on teammates and i calmly explained that it cannot even though wind waker can and he apologized
>>555960634If you want a dispel and speed, you should buy a Disperser.
>>555961786this is some shit of mandela effect because i remember euls being usable on teammates and it was giga meta but i cant seem to find patch notes about itwhen i talked to people they told me that they also remember it
>>555960634I noticed the build on a razor on my team who had the most hero damage and damage tanked (we won), also yeah there was a lot of kiting on the enemy lineup.I've always had issues with recovering from a lost lane on razor since I lacked stats for jungle/was extremely slow at farming while the enemy got enough stats burst me too quickly for link or storm to kill them.
The Romans believed that during the passage of a comet from Mars, the world would behold a great figure with an unwavering spirit. One who looks to the future with a piercing gaze, one who moves the destinies of entire generations. NIGHTFALL, the greatest carry of our time, the best in his position, the best in his lane. This man survived everything, and the betrayal of the man who followed him, the offended druggie scammer, has always been his shadow and still does, the loss of several teams, but being named the TIME's Person of the Year, his will never wavered. I understand, I understand you perfectly, locust. For years, you've been feeding on NIGHTFALL's fans, trying to argue, trying to break down that wall, to make us doubt, to allow us a moment of weakness against the greatest carry of all, NIGHTFALL, CHADFALL, KDAFALL, Innovator, Galacticus, Itachi of the Uchiha clan, the Professor, the Brilliant Tactician, but they've failed. For our will is strong, like NIGHTFALL's Absolute Will, unbreakable by the locusts crawling out from under the bunk. But now the bunk is gone, it's vanished, the locusts driven underground, where they belong. The sun has risen, spring has arrived, an ocean breeze has begun to blow. NIGHTFALL is the champion, NIGHTFALL is the best, NIGHTFALL is the greatest, NIGHTFALL is absolute, NIGHTFALL is incredible, and finally, NIGHTFALL, is Egor Grigorenko.

When I played turbo an opponent had 37k matches and he was in a 5 stack playing viper
unranked is fun until you get matched with someone who has literally never played dota before. how does that even happen? everyone else on the team has thousands of matches
>>555965191You are 4k, they are 0k, and everyone else is twooooooooo kay!!
>YOU CAN 1V9 AND WIN EVERY GAME IF YOU WERE GOOD>LE ONLY CONSTANTOk why don't smurfs have 100% winrate in 3K
>>555961786and then you both reported each other anyway
>>555966091NTA but I check for premutes and report them at game start
>>555965554
just going to grind turbo to finish the eventhow do I playis it just no farm eternal brool or what
>>555966180Whoa, you can tell if I have all chats hidden?
should i q
>sunday eveningno
Warframe's gonna rollover in... 14 minutes. Gonna play something that doesn't raise my blood pressure.
>>555966395Answer ze questionI'm not tilting at windmills here
>>555966652never mind turbo is fucking miserable
>>555969073Yes, you are. This isn't CSGO, nobody is telling you to carry 1v9.
>eosin has a gf and i don'tum, dotards?
>>555963557Just tried it and it works very well. Razor already has all the damage he needs and just aghs is enough to win teamfights. You can also end with aghs after taking a t3 . Didn't even get to a refresher after GG, Pipe, BKB, and Aghs.That lvl10 spell lifesteal is essential.

>>555971614you also probably got reported because the people there are psychos
*leans into the dota 2 feedback microphone*I dislike how roshan pops techies mines in the river every 5 minutes, especially the ones i set to watch the runes. That feels like an unintended nerf.
>>555955663The game is more fun for the most part but the pro scene is vastly less interesting. It's just not as enjoyable to watch and all the new players are completely soulless, plus every scene outside of CIS (and I guess SA) is dead and/or dying.
>>555972726>all the new players are completely soullessthis is on youyou are the one disconnected with the new generation of talentchange is inevitable anon, get out of the past
What are turbo players
>>555975118Wannabe Leaguebabs.

uhhhhhh now what
>>555977483now you log into dota 2 dot com and register for your complimentary aegis and prostitutes
>>555977483Farm 100 vouchers to max out on the 1,000 capsule crafting limit.
>>555977483Now? Now we can finally play the game...
Tell me why I shouldn't play pos 1 and farm because the ones I get are incapable
>>555977592what do you even do with the capsules/stickers
>>555978115killing enemy gamers is more fun
>>555978115try it out and see how it goes
>>555978381I'm a pos 1 main I'm just role queueing and it's just disheartening to see
>>555978473if its so consistent , I wonder if their is a way to bluid around it.
How do I fix my fucking net having packet loss randomly throughout the day and freezing my dota for 5 seconds forcing me to reconnect aaaaaaaaaa it's goten me killed i fights
I hate my nigger teammates
>>555970774>>555970407Survivability within your budget, basically. Bonus movespeed is good, too. Explode Razor, btw, if you happen to be against him.
>>555935326I've only played a couple DOTA2 games in my life. I need to unlock the Kirin Anti-Mage Monster Hunter skin before the event ends for posterity (I'm a serial procrastinator).1. Can I do this with bot games?How long will it take? How long will it take if I queue "real" (beginner) games and lose every single one?2. Which hero should I play?In League I like top lane bruisers/duelists like Camille, Irelia, Gwen, Jax and a few mages like Cass, Orianna. I liked Rumble and Maokai too.In Dota Death Prophet appeals to me on pure aesthetic and Marci appeal to me cause of the melee monk aesthetic but I also feel like it would be easier to start with a ranged attack value character ("AD"). Like Meurta but not useless (which she seemingly is, then again maybe I could just stomp new player/bot lobbies with Muerta).p.s. is queen of pain or templar ass good? any good bread and butter mages? apparently razor is broken but I don't even know what he doesp.p.s. OH HEY THIS IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANTANY AUTOEXECS OR LAUNCH OPTIONS TO MAKE IT RUN SUPER OPTIMALLY?CAN I OR SHOULD I FORCE DLSS 4.0 THRU NVIDIA APP?thanks for any assistance I'm very unsure and lost and kind of intimidated
>>555981019Yes we get it, and level Ice Path on Jak lvl 1 as well, etc.
>>555981652imagine being fingered by krobelusjust paypig your wei hats
>>555983739If I can't even force myself to play the minimum games required to get a free Wei, why would I ever spend money on the same game I couldn't force myself to play?It's now or never.I'm broke but the only characters I would ever paypig for are Krobelus cause she's such a fucking cheap date and Marci because uguu
pa's blur skill is so fucking retarded and bloat >um peekaboo!!! you can't see mommy haha oopie i was actually here the whole time *crits you while you cant target her*camposanto sloppish
>>555984926its extremely canon for her*smoke bombs*
>>555985716whats canon for her is showing in the same zip code as a magical nuke and instantly dying for not having a bkb and being an agi hero with 0.5 str gainbut because of this retarded skill she presses her button and I have to pretend i dont see her and hold my fingers and laguna blades for 3-5 business days which is how long until it wears off
>>555985997>reee why doesnt this "phantom assassin" just sit in broad daylight for me to murder
>>555984926Zoom zoom who never played WC3 moment
>>555986340NTA, I'm a boomer who didn't play WC3 because I was playing Starcraft, the not gay version of Warcraft.
phylactery would be such a cum busting techies item
I don't like playing support because I am at the mercy of my core players whether we win or lose.
>let me last pick>picks juggernaut into slark, bane, winter wyvernThe fuck was the point of that
>>555984926Getting close literally breaks it, retard.
>>555988786I don't like playing carry, because I have to actually take responsibility for the game's outcome, and farming jungle just so I can right-click the entire enemy team is boring.No, I can't get 30k on Luna in 30 minutes. I need 40.
How bad do you have to be to get meme'd on by a Right-clicking Techies?Did anybody discover, if the Enchantments stack infinitely with Stash after 60 minute mark?
>>555939513>he has no best friendcringe
Why is it when I play Wex Invoker my teammates try their damndest to grief and feed while I'm pushing all 3 waves at once
>>555938746I don't remember posting this...But I suppose we're all "me" after all...
>highest building dmg>highest hero dmg>highest networth>highest kdr>shotcalling>trying to coach every other player on team at same timeAnd mothafuckas are still trying to buy rapier on my team and feed it because all I say is 'aggressive wards please, we're winning', 'let's do rs,' 'play for picks, split push'
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when the game reaches the inevitable "Enemy team walks around for 20 minutes killing everyone" phase this isn't even a "wah my team fed post" like i genuinely don't understand what i'm supposed to be doingif you show up in a lane you die but you can spend 50 minutes clearing jungle camps and end with less gold than a support
>>555994523some people just really don't like being told what to do. these same people will solo queue and not say a single word to their team.
>>555994613Split push, smoke and play for picks on their weak linksThis requires coordination so it's easier to play from a lead
>>555994793>you die if they see you in lane>"have you tried split pushing?"
>>555995105So you say they're all 5, so now they're all in one spot and you can push every wave on the map besides the one they're at for free no risk whatsoever
>>555995181anon if they were 5 they would be ending the game, I said "walking around killing everyone" not making a coordinated push down midlane
Bro I'm never playing offlaneif I see pos 4 natures
i think im gonna try mars's red facet that gives you health and mana back when you kill someone in arena instead of the one that blocks vision
>4 picks windranger>losewoooooooooow who could've seen that coming
>5 picks zeusyou already know we lost
>>555996009To add to this:>pos 4 picks Nature's Prophet>immediately leaves lane level 1 to ???>i get first blooded because i'm vsing nyx and jugg>proceeds to do NOTHING in lane and leave, not even deward the pulls (ours is blocked, and they are free pulling)>jugg eventually gets battlefury at an amazing timing because he is going unharassed>meanwhile this natures is literally teleporting in and feeding and or sprouting himself>i get told at the end 'you had zero impact'Now I understand why core players turni nto support players
>>555978140Stickers are mostly useless. You can permanently use a sticker to assign it to a hero. Then at the start screen, if you and the hero get profiled, the sticker shows up. For example, I have a Micke 2024 sticker on my NP. I don't think you can ever remove it, just replace it with a different sticker. Assigning stickers permanently destroys them. This system is just copied over from CSGO and TF2 where the sticker would show up on the enemy screen every time you kill somebody, I think, like how TF2 features items you're wearing when you kill someone. Dota used to do that too but took it away for the fight stats and shit you can see when you die instead.
>>555965554>>YOU CAN 1V9 AND WIN EVERY GAME IF YOU WERE GOODNobody says that. Even the best players will not have a 100% winrate if they're climbing from 0 mmr to their actual rank. It's a team game, so you need your team to win. When you are better than your team, you need them less, but you still need them. Focusing on yourself (the only constant), is the only way to climb, because the better you are compared to your teammates, the less you'll need them. This will make you climb, ON AVERAGE (ie by playing a lot), by getting a winrate above 50%. The better you are compared to your team, the higher that winrate will be, but even a 50.01% winrate is enough for you to climb, albeit very slowly. The smurf will have 90% winrate. You being better than your team will get you, say, 50.5%. You'll both climb.
>>555981652>1. Can I do this with bot games?No.>How long will it take? How long will it take if I queue "real" (beginner) games and lose every single one?If you want just the base skin, you can pay for the battlepass and it'll give you the base skin. You can't unlock the other tiers without paying anyway.If you're a f2p wanting just the base skin, it's 12 Commons, 21 Uncommons, and 4 Rares, so I'm guessing it'll take you about 10-20 games. Drops are dependent on enemy picks, you get 50% of a contract's listed drops for losing, and you can eventually just side-craft shit at the same and higher rarities.Valve also lets you just buy "universal" crafting mats for latecomers and paypigs to just get their hats. So that's an option if you're desperate.>League top lane bruisersI swear we only get offlane players coming from League in these posts.Anyway, there is no true "tank" role in Dota, but there are plenty of fatties. Whether or not they're good picks depends on comp, and usually they're better as farmed cores instead of farmless supports. You can check out for suggestions and ideas to get started: https://dota2protracker.com/meta?mmr=7000&position=pos%2B3&period=8DP is okay in the offlane, I guess. Razor is currently popular and he's a 1v1 anti-carry you might like if you learn how to play him. LC is the epitome of 1v1 me faget.>apparently razor is broken but I don't even know what he doesGenerally his goal in life is to make sure other people don't get to have fun. I wouldn't say he's beginner friendly because his current meta build requires knowing how game mechanics work but at the newbie levels, I guess it wouldn't matter as long as you're not feeding.>p.s. is queen of pain or templar ass good?They are good. QoP is a mid hero, and TA is a mid or pos 1 carry hero.>any good bread and butter mages?Plenty. Check out the other roles in the link that aren't pos 1 carry. Plenty of mages in each category.
>>556000604Your prophet is a griefing retard but there are still things you could've done better.>i get first blooded because i'm vsing nyx and juggThis should just absolutely never happen, Nyx is a completely worthless hero in lane and Jugg spin is not very threatening at level 1. Yes you shouldn't have to solo this lane but there's no way a Nyx and Jugg should be able to kill any offlane hero level 1 unless you fuckup and massively overextend.>proceeds to do NOTHING in lane and leave, not even deward the pulls (ours is blocked, and they are free pulling)The solution here is to drag or cut waves, again you have the advantage here of Nyx being a worthless hero who shouldn't be able to stop your drag at all, you should get at least half the waves uncontested this way.Now sometimes you get these games and instead of Nyx it's a support that you actually can't safely drag lanes against. What I recommend doing is that as soon as you see your 4 pick some grief hero like NP you lock in Axe/Cent/Tide or some other offlaner who can just fuck off to jungle at level 3. Yes it sucks to have to do that but at least this way you're not going to be playing as a melee creep the whole game.
>>556003478Stun blood nade spin just melted me tho
>>556003646Just TP out?
>>556003739I was playing Razor if this contextualizes things
>>555981652They added the option to buy crafting materials so if you're really desperate you can just pay up
>>556002851I'm not gonna spend money that defeats the entire purpose and if I was in the position to paypig I'd be paying for different skins entirely.>I swear we only get offlane players coming from League in these posts.I figure most people asking are going to be asking that because a League mid player or a League "ad carry" (ranged character with auto attacks and high scaling meant to carry) can find more easy 1:1 translations.>Anyway, there is no true "tank" role in Dota, but there are plenty of fattiesMost of my top lane picks are not "tanks" anyway. Or even "fatties". A lot of top laners in League aren't traditional tanks, they're "bruisers", in other words they have some means of survivability whether it's lifesteal or high mobility or whatever, their key attribute is that they excel at 1v1 scenarios, they're duelists that are a problem if they jump on your carry or aren't peeled properly, or splitpush (because if they go off split pushing you can't just send one rando against them, because they excel at 1v1 dueling).Characters like Gwen, Irelia, Jax, Fiora. They're tanky in unconventional ways like damage mitigation or life steal or their itemization involving items that say "here's stats to better murder a solo opponent and also you get stacking +20 armor every time you attack">>556004154I am not, that defeats the entire purpose
>>556003797I just tested in demo, you can absolutely just TP out of it at level 1 even on Razor. And you should be positoning better so that Jugg can't get a good spin off on you even with the stun set-up.If you're talking about when going for wave dragging, Jugg shouldn't be anywhere near you to spin anyways if he's busy dealing with wave. And you should be rushing boots and wind lace to make dragging as safe and easy as possible (if you see this kind of lane coming those should just be your starting items even), don't worry about getting wraith bands or wand or anything like that in this kind of lane.
>>556004216Well you only have 5 days left before the event ends, pick death prophet she probably fits what you're looking for
>>555996779It's better, because you need follow up from teammates to get a kill, anyway. Your solo kill potential is kind of trash. And I have balled with Mars hard enough to complete a Battlefury before my safe lane did.>but Eul's!Is for pros. If you're solo queuing, your choice of mana regen on Mars is Battlefury.
>>556004526Eh, lane wasn't really the reason that we lost anyway. He got free farm later when team wouldn't pressure him so he snowballed out of control. Not much I could do.
>faggot "Hard Support" Pudge>hooks enemy into a kill once>doesn't roam>bitches at carry when they lose
>>556005063please dont buy battle fury on mars god's rebuke already one shots the wave if you're going to build damage i used to be a desolator mars andy and it was super fun until games got hard, these days im experimenting with magic mars whos late game is creating the venn diagram of dead enemy gamers
>mute a faggot because he's feeding the hardest and thinks that's a license to type shit takes while dead>chat looks schizo because teammates and enemy team keep talking to him>don't want to punish others with a mute but fucking hell, it's annoying
>>556004216>Characters like Gwen, Irelia, Jax, Fiora. They're tanky in unconventional ways like damage mitigation or life steal or their itemization involving items that say "here's stats to better murder a solo opponent and also you get stacking +20 armor every time you attack"Sounds like you'd have more fun playing mid or carry. There are some offlane heroes like what you describe (namely LC, maybe Axe or Slardar) but most offlane heroes in Dota don't really just manfight people like that, they're either initiators with big teamfight ults or aura carriers (or both).Razor and DP I would say aren't really offlaners, they're more classically mid heroes who are just sometimes flexed to offlane in a good meta, like right now Razor is broken just because he has a very good aura carrier build and is being played in any core role but he will probably not be a viable offlaner once that's nerfed.Some other heroes that fit the playstyle you describe:>HuskarMid. Gets stronger the more health he's missing, baits enemies into thinking they can kill him before turning the fight around.>TACarry or mid. Has a charged shield and damage boost and a stationary invis that can be used to spot-dodge projectiles with good timing.>SlarkCarry. Steals enemy stats as he attacks and has a spell that purges debuffs and another that gives him unbreakable invisibility that he can attack during and tons of HP regen.>MorphCarry. Can swap his stats on the fly between agility and strength for high damage/high tankiness. Can turn into enemy heroes and use their non-ult abilities.>MonkeyCarry or Mid. Has the typical League 3 hit passive (except with 4 hits) which gives him lifesteal and a huge damage boost.>UrsaCarry. Angry bear who attacks really fast and is too angry to die.>KezCarry or mid. New and I still don't know what half his spells do but he's the most league hero design ever. Combo-based character with bashes, silences, invis, lifesteal, and lots of mix ups.
>>556006383Too late. Mars's right click is the biggest piece of dogshit I've had the misfortune of using. Guess it's why Bulwark is a thing - you just wait on Rebuke to finish cooling down. Simultaneously, he needs mana regen, and Rebuke scales of base damage.
>>556006587>Simultaneously, he needs mana regen, and Rebuke scales of base damagesoul ring and a source of lifesteal? a vlads, perhaps? which also gives mana regen?
>first-picks antimageproblem?
>>556006678>lifestealYou don't understand how bad it is. You could have AC AND Deso, and Mars's right-clicking would still be bad. Might as well get Octarine Core. At least cooldowns will improve.

God I wish that were me
>>556009104what slot do you but nullifier at, 5, 6? its quite expensivealso, is there ever a situation where a single enemy carry warrants buying nullifier?lets say there is only necro really that is annoying, or ursa or something i dont knowwhat heroes do you want to buy nullifier vs?
>turbo players arguing about what position they are, and who gets farm
>>556010039Usually #2 or #3. Farming item #1 (or just Morbid Mask), maybe mobility item #2, then big ticket items like Nullifier. Depends on the game. If there's a Necro like in your example, I'm 100% buying it as #2. Negating an entire hero's kit midgame is a huge powerspike and now they're fucked in the ass until they get BKB or Linkens or whatever which is going to take them another 10 mins while I do whatever the fuck I want. I don't think it's a priority buy for Ursa but it would suck for Ursa because of the pulses of slows. And on the topic of slows, if the enemy hero doesn't have an escape, Nullifier guarantees their death in a chase because there is nothing they can do once they are hit with it + their blink is on cooldown.>what heroes do you want to buy nullifier vs?Anybody with annoying buffs or escapes you want gone that can be dispelled by Basic Dispels. Or people who would buy save items (aka. most games). So WR Windrun, ghost form (hero or item), Omniknight, Euls tornado, Force Staff (specifically cancels the movement on every pulse), Glimmer Cape (this is why some supports buy Shadow Blade), Aeon Disk, most barriers like Shield Rune or Pipe or Tinker, etc. So just as general purpose usage, you can cast it on a support or carry just to ensure they can't get get away with Glimmer. I present buying Nullifier every game as a joke but it's unironically good just because of the commonly bought items it can counter.It's a Basic Dispel, so if you look at the tooltip and it says DISPELLABLE: YES, Nullifier will work on them.>its quite expensiveYour early game gpm is probably 400-500 gpm if you're not feeding so it's not impossible to buy it before 15:00. Being expensive is merely a challenge to do better if you really need it to win. As a core, people might bitch you're not joining enough fights, the only thing that matters is that when you show up to a fight, you win it. And for that, you need farm and items.
is it safe to q
>going to hide heroes when I reach level 5 899/900 with themHow fast will I run out of supports? Also, what are some good Offlaners? Muerta?
>>556011219Even if im playing as pos 3? Im usually a Night Stalker.I find it kinda annoying with how hard itemization is in Dota.Against Glimmer i just try to buy Dust or Gem but sometimes its annoying to have a dead slow for Dust alone (Gem can be justified).I pretty much buy BKB every match, i really dont know when not to buy that shit when a single slow can mean i jump in and get kited to death, it also gives STR and Damage so both stats are good for me.For Nullifier, i often think that i want to get it but never end up actually getting it when its at like 5.2k. I buy boots, Echo Sabre (i dont fuck with Phylactery), Blink and then either BKB or finish Harpoon into then BKB. After that i find Basher nice but i dont feel like it really is that strong on him? I dont know.I guess here you can fid Nullifier instead of Basher, or maybe even just skip BKB if possible, or skip Harpoon and just go for boots, Echo Sabre, Blink, Nullifier into BKB/Harpoon or whatever.I am also confused if i should be buying defensive items on him, like sometimes i might want a Pipe but i find that whenever i buy a defensive item before 4th item i cant jump someone and kill them quickly enough.I also am confused as to why so many offlaners do not buy Shroud anymore, i always thought that this item is extremely strong.The same goes for Mage Slayer, its basically a 60% damage reduction from spell casters if you hit them with an auto, ive been wondering if i should try it first item instead of Echo Sabre on Night Stalker into some very caster heavy line ups. Just feels like a broken item that people suddenly stopped buying.Thank you for the explanation.

>>556011937>Even if im playing as pos 3? Im usually a Night Stalker.You never specified, so I was talking as a pos 1 or 2 since that's what I was playing.Nullifier on NS isn't bad but NS' problem is that he can't flashfarm, and he can't jungle early. And as pos 3, you will be scraping the bottom of the barrel for extra farm. I would maybe think Nullifier is a priority buy on NS if there are a lot of Euls or counterable heroes on the enemy team. Like if there's a Pugna or Omniknight, 100% buy earlier than later. Otherwise, ehh. But again, it depends on the game. I don't play NS much so I can't offer advice or thoughts. I think he's too easy to counterpick and I rarely lose to him so I wouldn't know how to make him work.d2pt says people usually get Blink BKB Nullifier in that order (instead of Echo Sabre after BKB) so that's the best uninformed suggestion I can make.
>>556012782>(instead of Echo Sabre after BKB)Oops, Echo Sabre is before BKB and Harpoon is after BKB. My bad.

>>556032474You're not as smart as you think you are. No one above Crusader is forgetting that e.g. Euls counters Jugg, but sometimes items like Euls just suck and are difficult to fit into a build so Jugg gets better as a result. Other times Euls is so meta that half the lobby buys it even without there being a Jugg and he sucks. Currently Euls/Ghost/Glimmer etc are in a pretty balanced spot and as a result Jugg has a pretty much dead even winrate in both pro games and high rank pubs.

how come people dont buy mkb vs tinker?
First-picking meme supports (sniper, BH, weaver, etc) is a nigger move. Sure, it can work, but you're setting a fucking hole in the skill roster of your team by not bringing any lane utility, heal, disable, etc, either forcing your core to make up for it, or giving a very easy time to the opponent to fuck with them.It's fine if you're playing with a pre-made team, or even somehow don't blind pick your support, but 90% of the time, it's niggerish.
What the fuck to do against a farmed Jugg or AM? Was in a game where I watched a replay of us fighting this AM and he just took absolutely 0 damage somehow with everyone locking him down. There was an enchantress on the team but she wasn’t there during the fight (she was unkillable too but for deer reasons). Had static link on him for a 10-15 second fight and he was still dealing damage. The jugg game was more understandable just kind of team diff even though I was max build and fed on weaver. Just trying to play better but even winning lane being fed or pushed out doesn’t stop when someone is on one of those hyper carries like them or void

>>556042368>going to demolishlol nice bait
The only reason dota is less popular than league is because dota doesn't market to gooners. That's it. Most of the dota character designs are hideous monsters. Why can't they make more attractive humans?And even the attractive characters are shit because dota doesn't have splash art. It's not that CM or lina are less hot than Random Whore #92 of league, but it's because the way you first see a league character is through their splash art, not their in-game model, meanwhile with dota you only get the model, which is shit. Having the image of a character be its model, in a top down isometric game is retarded, because the models are garbage.Same shit with the skins. No gooner skins, no splash art.Dota players don't care about all this bullshit, but it's non-dota players that do, and it's those players we should care about. It's the same reason why most players that play any kind of games where you can choose your character's gender choose women. You don't want to look at a guy, when you could be looking at hot girl.
>>556043356coomer games are dying
>>556043810source?
>>556043810This completely false.It's very simple. You are given 2 choice, you either look at something hot, or you don't, without affecting the gameplay. Tell me what do you choose?Everyone that plays dota didn't get into it because of the hot characters. They play it because they like the actual gameplay. For gooner games, many people get into the game because of the hot whores. Then they end up liking the gameplay and stay playing. It's that simple. Why are gacha games money making mchine? They have shit or no gameplay. They make money from splash art and character design. Nothing more.The only thing league is good at is marketing. Nothing else. It's why it has always beaten dota.

>>5560413519/10 feet damn
>>556048503>The gameplay isn't affected. Yes it is. League was not that bad in the olden days of like 2009-2010 when they had a better art style as well, and then the gameplay and art both declined massively in tandem. Why? Because when you design your visuals around attracting retards like you who are only interested in a game if it has two thousand dollars worth of titty skins you're also going to massively dumb down the gameplay to appeal to the same type of subhuman animal.
>>556048537You're just arguing in bad faith. How am I "misrepresenting my own position" lmao. It's MY position, I can't misrepresent it. I didn't change positions. Go back and read my first post. I never claimed gooners games do better than mobas. You just can't read and you're just bad faith.All I said is take the exact same game, but make it with hot characters. It'll sell better. Take league and make all the designs garbage, it'll sell less.
>>556049204>you're also going to massively dumb down the gameplay to appeal to the same type of subhuman animalHow about, you don't? Just keep it the same, but with better designs. That's all. The new players that'll come along, and want the game to be made dumber will just leave when it isn't made dumber. In the end you're left with a net positive of new players that were attracted by the designs, and actually like the game.

There's a reason League's playerbase is gooks and burgers, why would any sane person want that?
If you genuinely believe Dota would be a better game if Pudge looked like a Kpop model then you need to kill yourself.

>>556050512>whatits anime, not something 3d you can hug and hold>Both league and dota are mobasone is a coomer game and the other is notwhich is your exact position>I'm starting to think that you're just a retard, not arguing in bad faith.you couldnt explain why you think im arguing in bad faith when asked directlybecause you are arguing in bad faith, the ad hominem proves itgo away coomer faggo jerk off into a pillow while your mom cries outside the door knowing she will never have a grandchild
>>556050512Your idea wouldn't make dota more popular.
>this is what coomers think good art design is
>>556048154>>556049837I worded that like a retardwhat I meant isafter I trade up 5 common sets for an uncommon one, will the game treat the chest status as if I don't have the common sets upon subsequent openings of the chest, or will the fact that I got them once count? What if I don't trade up, but unwrap equip them? Do they count as a set, or will unwrapping a set make me ineligible for the no-dupe rule?
just one game bro and it's a freaking 70 min rapier game
>>556051806Pretty sure that chest doesn't have double protection
>>556039002You don't know how long the Overwatch queue is, or how long it takes for a conviction to go through and punish you. You say "lately" so clearly you did something worth convicting a while ago so that hurt you.
What age do people peak in dota? For me it was around 20-21 or so, now im dogshit and slow in my 30s
>>556041351>>556049153Shes beautiful but she has cankles
>>556051806In general, the chests track what you got, not what you have in your inventory so it doesn't matter if you trade shit away. You won't get dupes until the chest gives you a full cycle of commons.I don't know about this Muerta chest but if the Anon is right and there's no dupe protection, then the chest would have zero mention of dupe protection and no shadowed sets.
>>556053508my reflexes unironically got better with age
>>556056086maybe your hand eye coordination but reaction time decreases with age
i got tipped as a compliment c:
>>556053508i feel like i peaked at 19-20 because i was just chain queueing hon at that time instead of going to lecturesi cant still play at a very high level but i dont have the stamina to do it all daylike playing lina in a 50 min game is legit tiring because you have max attack speed, max ms, and gotta hit slow as stuns, farming never fucking stops
>>556056387well played!
>>556053508dota is not a reflex reliant game its not league
>>556057102league isnt either you mostly just faceroll keyboard when you finally hit them with a slow or stun
The year is 2026.My offlane locked in Axe + SS.They got farmed and forced out of lane by AM + NP safelane.The axe proceeded to afk farm jungle while spampinging the fed antimages items and being absolutely useless until the match ended.This is in legend BTW.
>>556057102*manta dodges your projectile*
to the viper that fed and afked the game because i took 1 wave of his creeps due to chen having 3 neutrals constantly pushing us in, you a crybaby nigga, next time at least dont feed the enemy jugg
muerta is gonna get nerfed so fucking badprobably largo too
>>556062316The only way to nerf muerra is to have an item that allows you to damage ethereal .
>>556062316Unlikely that Largo the garbo gets nerfed
>>556064715bro just outed himself as herald
>>556064715largo was op at tournament
>>556033017Meddy is unironically hot and shit like this is part of why
Tell me why can't they do this with Dota?
>>556033017>face and form of terrifying strengthwho's gonna tell her...?
>>556064715Largo is busted, especially in pro games. He's a teamfight God.
>>556066374because it doesnt achieve anything
>>556053015I guess those rage buybacks are finally catching up to me
>>556067034you're not getting banned for a buyback unless you're walking it down or destroying items
>>556067210That's the worst I did honestly. Rage buyback + afk in woods until the game ends. Never once ran it down or broke items
>>556067324afk = ban sorry bro
>>556066374>trust us bro we finally fixed matchmakingyeah right
>>556066374they could tweak it & move it overthe dota 2 settings ui is from deadlock I think
>>556067363I mean I was farming camps, I just wasn't engaging with anything else
>>556067437does deadlock have visible mmr?
>>556067437If you could change anything to dota's matchmaking to make it better what would it be? Because I fail to see how someone could drastically alter the algo to make game quality better

Having a Marci/Tusk/Clock p5 that knows how to play his hero and knows how to pressure is so good. What makes or breaks a lane is how proactive the support is really
>check a hero's stats>d2pt negative winrate>dotabuff positive winrateWho do I believe
>>556071976>enemy team blames PL for the loss lmaoJesus fucking Christ.
>>556072240d2pt takes immortal draft games for samples so you can assume it's people who have a certain degree of mastery with their hero and communicate properly. dotabuff is wr% from herald to immortal assembled so it's the opposite
>>556072370Adjusting to your rank is important. Different levels commit different mistakes.
>>556072487Yup so I'd say the most 'honest' way to check if a hero is good is the in game stats that sorts through bracket. There's also some weird fluctuations on some heroes like the hero being great in herald up to crusader, then a drop in archon - legend, then good again in ancient - divine. Obviously there's generally good heroes but each bracket has their own little meta as well
>>556072240>>556072370Dotabuff lets you filter by rank, so you could check Immortal winrates.The difference with Dotabuff and d2pt though is that d2pt only shows the past 14 days. So d2pt is where you go for FOTM trends, and Dotabuff is just overall stats.

>>556057382Probably SS fault. It's infuriating to get beat by a greedy "all damage no CC" enemy lane that shouldn't work because your dedicated support hero who will never accomplish anything late game decides he's not going to harass, deny, pull, use spells or anything else in the early game so you're losing from minute 1.

>pick support>carries suck massive cocksdo I just force pick hard carries?all pick newfag btw
>>556128150Honestly im wondering the same thing.Over the past few days i had games where i got my team ahead as a support 4/5 (mostly 4), bought my items which were mostly to support them game is doing great.Then we hit the 30-40 minutes timer, instead of just pushing or punishing enemies we have vision of we fuck around, and at 40+ minutes all i can do is use items and protect my carries and then hope they do their job.I think if i just bought offensive items in all of those games we would have won.I had games where that pos 4/5 Zeus or Sniper or whoever sucks balls all game and we win but due to the game going for 50+ minutes they suddenly get items and the enemies now have 4 carries and im still there playing the support role. Its annoying.
>>556128150If you're in low mmr pick greedy supports and don't waste money on support items, your cores are not worth supporting.
remember int blinkme neither
>>556129581Can you name some greedy supports?Can stuff like Lich, Maiden or Bounty Hunter work?
Let chaos reign!
>the only dota characters ive ever masturbated to are outworld destroyer, underlord, slark and futa marcithoughts?
>>556130342Spirit breaker, windrunner, pudgeLich can work if you go for blink shard aghsMaiden is too weak in the mid game but if you manage to farm full items she's goodBounty is honestly dogshit as a greedy support unless you play against people 5k mmr below you
>>556131349Nice, thank you for the answer.Can you explain Spirit Breaker as a greedy support?Pudge is banned too often to play him i think, and Windrunner requires too many brains cells.What makes Bounty so bad tho?
>>556131626Charge at retards for free fights, us the gates to gank the opposite sidelane, charge mid for free kills. Rush phase boots shadowblade and gank even harder, then go for kaya yasha ocarine.Bounty scales too poorly with items. Physical damage build doesn't work as he has no mobility or lockdown and he gets cucked by detection, only works if you're sub 1k mmr and the enemies don't know what detection is. Caster build got cucked by talent reworks and range nerfs, all you can do poke people or steal kills like a nigger. Hybrid builds kind of work but it requires a very good understanding of situational itemization.

>>556132726Don't listen to these retards, play the role you got. If you wanna play carry pick carry and don't grief games by playing NP or Alchemist.
>>556139706what i love about dota is that you can grief infinite games and nothing bad will happen to youhave a single bad internet moment and you have to win 4 games in low priority.this is literally me right now: i got disconnected during hero selection. my behaviors score is in the 8k.i have to win 4 games in LP.seriously.
>>556048069The important part for you to remember going forward is that any game with any type of matchmaking system is going to do the same things in the future.

>>556130297The problem with int blink is that int is a bad stat past the midgame since most heroes will have their mana problems solved by then, and the stat blinks are ultra lategame items. So either it needs to have a broken active and everyone buys it like the old one or it has a mediocre one like current and no-one buys it.

>>5561646805
>>556165131They told me he was a viable pos 3...
>>556165121it was the first time valve made a clone of a game their players dont care about and it died immediatelybut it was the first time so it was funny and memorable unlike underpants and deadlock
>>556165235It was also the single best destilation of why Richard Garfield should to be allowed to make anything but single player rogue lite card games.He still cannot grasp the concept of "humans communicate" and things mtg monetization and secondary market is good.
>>556165235>their players dont careThe weird thing about Artifact was that Valve ditched it BEFORE launch. People bitched about the microtransactions and how jewish they were and Valve just unceremoniously dumped it within days. People were still going to line up to give Gaben money for collectible PNGs but Valve just collectively decided to give up because they got their feelings hurt or something.This is hearsay but I think supposedly there was some outsider working with Valve for the card game design, and they left too so that's part of the reason Valve dumped it since nobody else was capable of working on it.
>>556165747>I think supposedly there was some outsider working with Valve for the card game design,do you mean richard garfield, the guy who made magic the gatheringyea i think that was a part of its marketing
>>556164818?He's speaking English?
>>556165841He also made a fuckton of other games.All of them turbo flops for the same reason early (94-96) magic is sorta fucking dogshit.
>>556165932I don't understand how to play him :(
>>556165841Ahh I see. I know nothing about TCG shit and I didn't pay attention Artifact until after it killed itself so I didn't know.
>>556165050you wont believe it but we actually won this game LOL, 7 fucking levels above my midlaner and broodmother fucked it, she literally could walk anywhere and everywhere
>>556166913I do believe it, they get cocky and lose because they don't know that they are winning and need to end asap.I know. I'm the micro picker tempo nigger and I do the same.
>do really well>team gets cocky and dive 3 towers in and each one tries to 1v9>do just ok but still winning>team gets together and ends cleanlyhmmmm.....
is there any specific reason why we get more russians than hispanics on us east? At least pedro is using the same alphabet as i do
man i got money riding on that heroic xg game FUCK
single draft low priority: an insanely time wasting coin toss. people don't really play. right away you can see if guys know how to play the heroes they've been randomly given, and they give up instantly. they don't really grief. they just give up. i've played 4 games in a row that were just insanely one sided. my guys are either afk or doing nonsensical things like they've never played a video game before. we are level 7 and the enemy is level 20. 15 - 67 score type shit. and then 2 games in the same fashion insanely one sided games in my favour. all this because i got disconnected during hero selection. 4 games wasted for no reason.
>>556167342Zero fucking clue.
>>556167973sounds like a you issue. i drop to lp on purpose sometimes just so i can join shorter queues into more competitive games where people actually try and win
How often do you commend? Do you ever commend your opponents?
>>556168440When I win I commend everyoneWhen I lose I report and dislike everyone
>>556168440When someone plays really well, when a teammate commends me. I never commend opponents.
why the fuck does heart regen stack
>>556168273>sounds like a you issue.lol no. it's a insane coin toss: 15 minutes wait time for each game and ~20 minutes actual game. it's not even like a forced 50 thing. the games are a single push. in the first 4 games my team were like 2 15 each. they straight up didnt know how to play their heroes at all. and in the final 2 we just curb stumped the enemy team like they were creeps. there is nothing to say really. they are not real games. the team that has a remote idea how to play their heroes win. the other team stumbles around the map like they've never played a video game before.
>>556168440I commend good teammates.I used to commend good enemies but I feel like nobody commends enemies unless they are smurfs or they are BM'ing so I stopped so I don't get associated with those people.
>>556168759if you buy two hearts you become a very tubby melee creep

Let's say you buy phylactery on spirit breaker, does the slow and damage hits when you click on the enemy or when you hit them with the charge
>>556173331former so you just reveal yourself every time
>>556173331Hit em
>>556173331it used to work like the first but now it works like the secondwould also go insane because his ult is a unit target spell so it phylactery would be off cd by the time you got there
>>556173331im pretty sure that was a thing when it came out and they had to specifically change it for him a few days after.
>>556171543you guys use voice chat? wtflol
>>556173331it was on cast but it got changed so now it's on hitit was actually really strong because it gave you a global slow
>>556173585ill never forget the 5 or 6 games i played in a row like, the day before this change where i just went boots > phylactery > 4x rapier and nuked people from across the map the second they came into vision. absolutely hilarious
fairly balanced game with our alch going strictly scepter farming for the entire team. the problem is that by the time he was done, the scepters didn't make a difference and were destroyed because it was essentially 4 vs 5 and they perfectly leveraged the number difference.
>>556173585>it was actually really strong because it gave you a global slowNo, you bought rapier and got a global instagib.Same for all the other targeted global spells like Wrath of Nature, and just generally long-range shit like Assassinate. It was stupidly broken but I miss it...
>>556174973that too but that ruins games as much as it wins games
Genuinely what the fuck do you do when you're the 4 in a matchup where it's outright impossible to drag waves i.e. Veno/Disruptor/Pugna 5. There's no other way to lane this patch.
what do i do when its like 20 minutes in, everyone is farming all camps and lanes are either pushed too far so nobody goes there or farms them too, as a support?i usually try to go for a wave that is far but outside of that do i just walk around my carries in case something happens and stack camps if ever possible?this is low mmr so even pos 5 will steal farm from a carry
>>556175934Gank, you're not supposed to lane as pos 4 this patch and no dragging waves doesn't count as laning
why does this faggot marci hero get to keep universal when timbersaw and pango dontgod i hate women so fucking much
I want to play queen of pain because i have a disease where I see the designated whore characters as cute little innocent beans but mid is too scary
>>556176103ward and ping smoke
>>556176264>but mid is too scary....bweh? i'm a noob with less than 50 games vs real people and mid is the only lane that feels chill
>>556176478this level of delusion will take you far as a mid player
We saw that
>>556176478Wait until you get to the level where supports roam to gank mid.
>>556178515in my games both mid players are constantly 100% hp and i waste 30 seconds trying to save them a rune when they dont even have a bottle fuck them, im not wasting my time mid unless the enemy is at ~60% and we actually have some kill potential
>>556178620Tell them to pick Lina, and use Dragon once they hit level 3 to secure a last hit and hit the enemy. Works really well.
>>556175934You could just kill the enemy support?You might be new so you might not know this but you're allowed to right-click attack the enemy heroes in lane. Your best weapon is in fact, your right-click for most heroes. You don't have to wait for spells to do damage for harass.

did you see the part in the files where epstein personally invents the forced 50 system and gives it to gabe to put in his game to maximize engagement for the microtransactions though
>>556185253vile advance
it's fucking unreal how much i hate this gameit just keeps getting fucking shittier and shittiereven a few years ago on tuesdays you could at least finish gamesnow the servers will just fuck out and decide to boot everyone at the same time and now the game doesn't countfuck every cunt that works at valve this fucking faggot fucking game
I didn't play any DotA 2 today. My social anxiety got the best of me.
>>556185794I'm taking a prolonged break game quality has been utter dogshit for me since 2026 started I'm not the paranoid type but I'm even starting to believe my account got flagged I mean I dropped so much MMR I've never lost this much in such a little span of time
>>556186015oof sorry about your MMR. a break will always do you good, the game isnt going anywhere

>>556187865
>>556187865bobby kotick from activision. epstein gave him his thoughts about video gaming and how to make games better
i still think about the one time i was drunk and solo carried an invoker game with 25 kills and then my friend on sniper buy rapier and dies not once but twice
So any psychopaths here know how behavior score works and how to abuse it? I just lost 4 years of progress (-2k behavior score) in 2 days.
>>556189228how hard do you have to grief to lose 2k good boy points in 2 days
>>556189228+15 score for every game you don't act like a subhuman.Losing a 1000 score means you griefed, someone sent an Overwatch report, and they agreed you griefed. Twice.
>>556189228>>556189360forgot pic. What do you think? That I had a roid rage or what. I just played like usual
>>556189460>30 matches>reported in 7>by 16 people
>>556189684Brother I have not played 30 games in 24 hours, they overlap, I received second overwatch ban after 2 ranked and 1 turbo game getting out of singledraft. You can see that the latest "excess" has less reports than the one before
>>556189460fuuuck bro thats rough. any specifics? I got overwatched yesterday and only lost 500 and got a 4hr matchmaking ban. two -1k in a row means you had to be on demon timing
erhm sorry we at valve (small indie company) can't pay for servers so you won't be able to report your retarded nigger teammates after the game!!!!!!!lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oops!!!!!
>>556189863Oh yeah, it's not Periodic, and you got excessive reports.>actually, I got reported in three out of three matches by 9 people!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NktEC49K5aEHow does that make it better?
>>556189953Every Tuesday is maintenance day, though.

>>556190367I KNOWUNDERSTANDING THAT IT'S NECESSARY DOESN'T MAKE ME ANY LESS ANGRY
>>556189871I started talking more as carry so I tank alot of it.>>556190225those can be any 3 games out of last 15. in 8 games I had shit performance how would I know in which 3 they decided to report me.
>>556190684>enemy team only has one support that I can determine>someone is griefing>can't tell who, because Valve doesn't show who was supposed to be what role after the endedHate that bug.>>556190961The last 3. The last two Summaries are not periodic. Which means you got a Summary that you got reported too much in 4 games (last one was most recent one), played 3 games, got reported in all 3, and got another Summary.
>Mom Mjol CMYeah, go fuck yourself.
>tfw need to watch the two agi carries s at max attack speed with satanic hit each other every fight
>>556191484it was a lowprio party mongrel. I played lane with a friend
>>556191635>4/11>LUh-huh.
>>556191697yuh uh>>556191191That explanation doesn’t make sense and is mathematically impossible given how Conduct Summaries work.If I supposedly had 4 reported games, then played 3 more games, and then received another Conduct Summary, that Summary cannot suddenly show only 3 reported matches.Conduct Summaries are cumulative snapshots over a fixed match window (e.g. last ~15 games).They do not discard previously reported matches unless they fall outside the window.So if there really were 4 reported games before, the next Summary must show at least those same 4, plus any new ones — not fewer.In my case:I played 3 matchesThe Summary shows exactly 3 reported matchesThere is no room for an earlier set of 4 reported games to existThat means:Either those 4 games never existed, orThey were already accounted for in a previous Summary, orThe Summary is reflecting a delayed Overwatch verdict, not a new wave of reportsTherefore, the claim that I was “reported too much in 4 games, then reported in all 3 more” is logically inconsistent with the data shown in the Conduct Summary.
>>556192005>They were already accounted for in a previous SummaryThis.>Therefore, the claim that I was “reported too much in 4 games, then reported in all 3 more” is logically inconsistent with the data shown in the Conduct Summary.It is perfectly consistent. The most recent one is at the top, and it goes backwards from there.>Conduct Summaries are cumulative snapshots over a fixed match window (e.g. last ~15 games).Unless it specifies "No" under "Periodic". Go look at your screenshot again.
timber bugged or somethingneither of his ults are doing what they should
>>556192332Alright we are getting somewhere. I played 10 games and then received reports in 3 games from 7 solo and 1 party. Can you receive reports in single draft and turbo? For the overwatch ban that is. I wonder what overwatch ban I could get, griefing?
>>556192872hmseems like it's just visual
>>556193102Overwatch ban means it's always griefing. The kind sent from middle of match, with the option "Send Overwatch Report", and selecting "Just now" "1 min ago" or "5 min ago".
>>556193386well if singledraft counts it could have been that stupid low priority game with CM mjolnir, friend is like 2k mmw lower and since itw as single draft I tried it with the attackspeed talent. I mean it was shit but we played the game accordingly... man what a retarded system. Prisoners reporting in prison
>having a nice win streak>check last match on Dotabuff>Jesus fucking Christ, my lane was the only one that won>I was the only one without deaths at 12 min.>more than half our kills came from my lane>and that was with my support fighting me for last hits>and mid tilting at me
>>556185253>pick melee pos 4 whose goal in life is to lose lane>complain you lose lane to shitters like veno and pugnaSkill issue.
>>556189460If you're losing score in chunks of -1,000 you are getting Overwatch convictions. Meaning somebody looked at the report and deemed it valid and that you are Guilty.You don't know which report from which game from how long ago got you that conviction. Could be the latest one, could be one from a month ago (if the queue is that long). What matters is that it got processed and applied -1,000 or whatever.>>556193102I've seen Overwatch reports for Turbo and Unranked modes (including Ability Draft).I can't tell if a game is LP without looking it up manually so I can't comment on that.
yeah i think im playing hon instead

just finished a game as jakiro where we basically 3v5 the whole enemy team with huskar+oracle+jakiro the ally PA is an actual bot, and the ally muerta is probably a newfagI had to pivot to a carry build and help supplement the huskar as he spearchucked the enemy teamhighlight of my career, might as well stop playing, can't get better than this

>>556205159Linas last name isnt moon. Rylai was adopted by Lina's family when she was young, the crestfall family. Rylai's name then became Rylai Crestfall. Lina having been born into the crestfall family and never married is called Lina Crestfall. Rylai might have been born with moon as her last name or whatever but Lina definitely was not. They are not blood related
Lina Moon.
lina's moons
>>556207897>They are not blood relatedwait so she has been fucking a random girl and not her sister?!
>>556207897>Rylai was adopted by Lina's family when she was youngYou have no proof of that.CM could've easily changed her name after the split because she resents and hates her family. Or at least, Lina. Or she took somebody's name by right of caste because she killed them or something.
>>556209265its in rylai's lore

>>556211815You're free to prove me wrong. But you won't, because you can't. Because your claims are based on invalid assumptions made from the bits of lore that do exist.

>>556212079>WAA I LITERALLY CANT SIT THERE IN THE ENEMY JUNGLE AND FARM FOR 20 MINUTES

>>556212098notice how the first two sentences have nothing to do with each other. rylai was born in one place and raised in a completely different environment. how does this happen to children? through adoption. or... sure her family could have moved. however a move is only mentioned once rylai separates from Lina's family later on in life.
>>556212714>"I don't like these two concepts, therefore I will make up my own headcanon."And you accuse me of being bad at reading.Meanwhile, in pic related, CM's dad is literally "Geraldus Moon", and all three of (CM, Lina, Geraldus) acknowledge each other as family, and daddy dearest explains the family split-up was mostly caused by the parents for gambling debts and insurance fraud.>how does this happen to children?Bad parenting and insurance fraud.
>>556213131>rylai calls geraldus dad>lina calls geraldus fatheryou just proved my point :)
>arguing about """"lore"""holy autism
>>556213524>Rylai doesn't know about the bad parenting and insurance fraud so warmly calls him "Dad".>Lina knows about the bad parenting and insurance fraud so coldly calls him "Father".Astounding lack of critical thinking and reading ability on your part.And I looked up which asshole you pulled the name "Crestfall" from and it's from fucking WC3 Dota so you're clearly just brain damaged.
oh man if any of my 3s or 4s or 5s or 1s would ever press a stun it would be so easy alas
hey guys look at how much of a retarded subhuman I am *locks in skywrath*

Whats the point of Tormentor? Isn't the reward kinda worthless at that stage in the game?
>>556216390Free shard at 20:00? No? It's great, what are you talking about? Even if all 5 magically have shards, it's still +280 gold per player and several hundred last hit gold to whoever finished it. It's literally free money. That's why higher MMR players aggressively fight for it at 20:00 as soon as it's up.
>>556216390its free 1400 networth.
>>556216516>it's still +280 gold per playerhow does that matter when you're building items like Battlefury at that point?>It's literally free moneyYou need your entire team to drop what they're doing, stop farming and make their way to a useless part of the map. That opportunity cost does not make it free...
this gamer did not enjoy playing against aa mid
>>556217080if youre the one that told me the build the other day then thanks, im 6-1 with it or something thereabout
>>556217035>still didn't finish the Battlefury by 20:00Anon...
>>556217732Huh?
>>556217035In the gold-only case, it's worth it for the pos 1 who will get the last hit. But you're not going to have 5 shards at 20:00. You will give some support a free shard, which is great for them because they are probably a 200 gpm no-farm support so that is almost 10 minutes of farm shaved, and depending on the support, that shard is probably a big teamfight spell. You want to get it because it will win you teamfights and thus, more kill gold.>You need your entire team to drop what they're doing, stop farming and make their way to a useless part of the map.At higher MMR, everybody already planned to show up there before it spawns so they can have a big 5v5 fight for it. They aren't off farming, they are already smoked up and itching for a fight by the gates/Dire T1.
>>556217035>You need your entire team to drop what they're doingYou only need 3 heroes, maybe 4 with a bad draft.
>getting meme'd on early game>late game starts>the meme doesn't work anymore>we start winning>shittalker on enemy team actually shittalks harder when losing>the agents sent to ruin my game and the more numerous agents sent to ruin someone else's shittalk each other post-game chatWhat the fuck.

i had an opportunity to make a super cheese today and didnti had the 2 super lotuses and we killed rosh but then an ally got the cheese and a teamfight started and i didnt enunciate that i wanted to make the meme item and it was overmaybe next time
Why the fuck is there no mouse settings in dota 2? My mouse feels super off/choppy in Dota 2 and nowhere else
>>556222574upon further inspection it actually costs three (3) super lotuses to make a cheese so i wouldve had to run back and get anotheri think if it were 2 people would actually think about this item but 3 is like way too many

kinda fucked up how i can make sure as spirit breaker that all my lanes are pushed in if its too dangerous to go too far, giving space for my carriesthat movement retention facet makes it so hard to catch him

i just had the most hilarious game everplayed spirit breaker 4had phoenix mid vs viperall i had to do was show charge and my phoenix would just go inafter level 6 all we did was charge, wait for me to be decently close then he would jump into a guy with ult and i would charge stun and ult if needed and a guy was deadin teamfights its silly as well, you just charge the furthest support, he jumps in with egg and you stun everyone in a straight line once the enemies decide to go on egg lmao

Specifically in steam client and chromium browser, it works fine on firefox.I know its always been kind of shitty, but now it actually freezes, or crashes the page and practically unusable. Also makes a single core spinup the fans.Let me give you an example to test (not my account.https://steamcommunity.com/id/hia20/inventory/ Open advanced filters and click on any filter.It can't be on my end... i think?

""People"" that pick carry heroes when they get offlane (Ursa/Slark/Alchemist/WK/CK etc) are by far the worst type of animal in this game.I'll take a pos5 pudge sitting in the trees and missing hooks over offlane carry pickers any day of the week. I hate them so much it's actually unreal.
>>556249513Don't forget the Sven offlane. Nothing makes me want to grief as hard as having a no crowd control melee right clicker carry picked offlane.
>>556249652but ze aoe ztun
i play carry offlane
>>556249813And the issue is that these melee carries need farm, particularly the likes of Ursa and Sven so they end up taking the safe farm area and thus curbing their carry so you end up with two underfarmed melee creeps against a team with a proper draft. It's such an instalose thing to have in a game
viable?
>>556249962>pick le alchemist offlane>farm the safest spots on the map >carry is forced to take dangerous farm BECAUSE THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO FARM - dies>ping his death timer and say "wtf just go farm"That's their M.O.I don't know if they can't understand that there's a limited amount of SAFE farm on the map or if they do that on purpose.
what does largo DO
>>556247935can no one confirm the issue?
>>556250306Yup and meanwhile the enemy offlaner bought crimson pipe and can just show on the map unbothered and their carry was left to his own device because your carry offlaner can't initiate and take control of the map so he's 5 levels above and has 5 items already
I can’t believe morph still hasn’t had a model updateI want to play him cause he seems versatile role wise abd also hydrobro is cool concept but holy fuuuuck is he the ugliest character next to lion
