>>557315695I guess the internet blackout was temporary
>>557310983Why would anyone rationalize nerfs, Blizzdrone?
>>557313179>>557317705Why do you guys get offended when I suggest that the devs be open about where their minds are at when it comes to the game's balance
Anyone wanna 1v1 mid? I'd fuck you up without even trying.
there may be many earthsbut there's only one earthshaker
>>557320171Because Dota isn't a fucking hugbox, Blizzdrone. Nerfs do not come with apologies or rationalizations. In fact, Valve actively trolls us.
Fellas please teach me the secrets of how to curbstomp games where people are literally chasing Techies so I don't get queued up with pic related.
>>557327463Get good at farming and winning lane and you can snowball and win with all the items, people in low mmr can't lane worth shit
mason streamed for 2 minutes and then peaced wth please come back mason
>>557328679wth
>>557328549I will have to check my gold income compared to the rest of the team but my farm was substantially far ahead and I still just can't seem to carry consistently despite winning lane. People make it impossible for me to gank and most importantly don't listen to pings. Maybe I'm not limit testing enough? Last game I was up against an Alchemist and didn't chase after him because I wasn't too knowledgable on him and was scared he could kill me.
why cant i get the same good team two games in a row? clearly we're better than the competition
>>557328679hes back your plea has been heard
typical carry contribution
>>557328679200 viewers roflarteezy is gonna make this lil kid go homeless
what do i do offlane when my support is useless and i'm basically 1v2 without the xp advantage? doesn't trade doesn't pull doesn't block builds core. do i just let the enemy carry free farm?
>>557330398you pick someone that can farm and clear wave 24/7

>>557330775i'm not be able to predict that my level 30 spirit breaker pos4 is gonna be useless and lose us the match
>>557328679he hates it so much, I wonder if he wishes he could do something else. he'd be a great analyst but I bet valve wouldn't let him on
>>557330874I struggle with that too. I am new to the game but have a decent knowledge of what all the heroes do. The problem is kills that are free in my mind aren't because I'm faced paired with an Oracle that can't press e.
>>557330874you always assume 30/70 odds on the support
mason is offline again
>>557327463damn son youre new and already splurged on cosmetics like crazy
the picks in esports have been mad boring since 7.40 started
>>557332519damn son where's your reading comprehension
>>557332869i literally dont care about this discussion bro these posts are so boring
>>557332519nta but I have less then 50 matches and I have almost all of Marci's costumes :>an anon in this general showed me a trader who will sell me the ones i am missing (they need to be gifted), i am soexcited :D
>>557332957You should learn to read and understand what you are reading.
>>557333054i buy the 20 cent sets for characters i play more than once and never more expensive
>>557333383i only buy the immortal items that modifiy how spell looks and have cool particles
>>557332519>>557332869I'm not ranked yet but if I can get my mmr off Herald hopefully I'll be able to play games where people are able to read or, even beter, look at a map.
>>557333651>can't read>blames teammatesyou belong there
why is the techster so much fun to play?
>>557333523my only one that changes spells is the kunkka whale blade from quartero
>>557333880I got the gyrocopter one that modifies his Q and bristleback goo modifier from quartero
>>557308130Tangled is a bad facet and I'm tired of people praising it like it's the next Whirlwind just because RTZ used it a couple times playing pos 1 in pubs.Give WR a real damage facet.
>>557333703I don't blame my teammates, most of the time, for losing. I just don't know how to carry them and it isn't fun. I need higher mmr so I can actually learn how to play Dota as a team game.
>>557334348Fuck off.
>>557334376If you can't get better without getting higher MMR first, then you don't deserve to get it.
>>557334376I'll rephrase it a little bit and say I don't know how to carry people that literally want to lose. I need to be a better father because I don't know how to babysit 4 kids who just want to run around all day and get themselves hurt.
Tobi did nothing wrong.
>>557334681Seems partially true but also partially coping. Low mmr disincentivizes teamwork, coordination, and interaction. Outside of csing skills it's a completely different game.
y'all niggas watched these esports all day with the polymarket crap?i hate life
i simply donut care about esports
>>557334548no uTangled was never good.Not since its inception.Not since it got the sad little buffs.
is this the most BROOOOL meta so far? Every single game is just 5man since 5min into 24/7 broool.
>>557328679Bulldog is back on twitch so I don't need mason anymore
>>557335948When the enemy is 5-man, they are denying themselves farm. So go split-push and force them to split up, or get free towers/rax out of it.
>>557335974are you on birth control medication
>>557336135>just splitpush while your entire team dies one by one bro
>>557336603Their failure to feed less doesn't mean you should feed in solidarity with them.
>>557335974>back to stream 3 games of him playing and then fucking off Why does he even bother streaming when he obviously hates it?
>>557336135>>557336760just 4k mmr on australia server shit
>>557336760Afk farming doesn't always guarantee I will be more fed than the enemy team being given free goal. How do I increase that chances well into a 50/50? And how do you tell when a game is actually unwinnable and the ones that aren't?
I didn't play vs real people today... I was gonna, but I lost my cool...
>>557339241i have done nothing but play mewgenics for 4 days straight, im probably gonna end up griefing on accident when i come back to dota
>>557340705erm you're not allowed to complain chud, see >>557324094
This game lost it's soul after 7.00That is a fact.

>>557327463TECHIES IS INDEP[TH AND NOT A GENUINE "TURN OFF MY BRAIN HERO"PLANTING MINES EVERY 12 SECONDS IS HARD WORK
>>557344170I love Techies. I'm contemplating playing him. People don't know that the way to beat him is to just force him to be aggressive and run pipe so you just win by existing.
>>557344901BRO TRY HE DOES THE MOST NUKE DAMAGE OUT OF ANYONE. 200-500 THEN A STICKY MINE AND 3 400 DAMAGE MINES AT LEAST. THATS LIKE 2000 DMAGE.DONT KNOW WHY THIS HERO IS IN THE GAME DESU

>six win streakMy asshole is officially clenched when queueing.
When do level 1 Dual Breath Jakiros end? Archon?
Dota 2 PowerPoints here, thank you very much for your continued support!
New to Dota and I have some questions.1. How do you not fall off late game as Razor? I snowball early and mid game but if things go to late game I deal 0 damage.2. Any guides on how to mentally handle ranked especially low mmr? I don't care about toxicity as much, it's mostly just dealing with monkeys who don't know how their own spells work or Bloodseekers who just run in on 1v5s constantly.3. Does playing ranked improve your unranked mmr? If not I probably shouldn't touch ranked.
>>557355668Razor is Anti-carry. He carries by cucking the enemy carry out of damage. This requires that a fight drag on for a bit. If BKB, AC/BFly and Satanic isn't enough in the late game, them's the breaks. You're not entitled to not fall off.
>>557355668areyou getting daedleus as le stealing damage man every game?
>>557356284That's good to know. He's played as a pos 1 so I assumed he was much more aggressive. He also is insanely strong in the early game. Guess I can't let games go to late game which is hard in low mmr.
>>557356893I mostly go greaves (often just mana boots at first) -> bkb -> items like Yasha or Aghs -> Satanic then utility. It's not been recommended to me so I've never built it, but maybe I should.
>>557357278so youre building no damage itmes and literally bitching about not doing any damage? fuck off newfag
>>557357010Yes. By pros, who know how to end games early.
>>557357771Is Razor not a good pick in low brackets then? If he is, what do you do when everyone is insanely fed except you? He's the most successful "1v5" hero I've played so far.
>>557357956He's a great hero for low brackets, because they rarely understand item timings, or know how to stall a game, avoid fights, and make space for their carry. If they lose control of the lanes, that's it.
>>557358582What do you do if your teammates fed people up the ass and you can't afford to chase because they take all the wards and none of the spots you need are warded? Hardest part about playing Razor or any hero who focuses on winning asap.
>>557359282Also I realize why this game is so much harder to solo queue in this game. The vision game is entirely dedicated to the support most of the time. The easiest way to win is to have a support that doesn't ward while you do it yourself as a core.
I have played 3k hours of unranked dota
>>557363632Out of my 7000+ matches, maybe 200 of those were ranked mode
STOP HELPING ME PUSH THE LANE!Just fuck off!Do Roshan, creep, stick with your other allies or do a team fight, but LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!I am a GLOBAL TELEPORTER! I can summon minions! I can push two lanes at the same time! I don't need your fucking help! I am binding at least TWO HEROES at the same time. If you are doing a team fight, I can always teleport to you! REEEEEEEEEE!
>>557364521My games in ranked are genuinely worse than in unranked. I don't know if it's because my mmr isn't calibrated yet so I'm playing with heralds or not but the games are genuinely more skill intensive and with much less salt.
how come Deadlock had their holiday event removed before Dota?anyways, I've taken a few months off, anything exciting happen? last patch I played blademail had just been nerfed after being bought on everything.
>>557368504its still bought on everything
what if we stopped building multicast items on ogre like a retard and isntead built phylactery so our point target spells do damage
>>557364705I've never had a NP teleport to me to help me. It's always to steal farm.
>>557371167Multicasting Sheepstick is actually great, but every dumb core wannabe Ogre doesn't do that. Why is it so difficult to accept Ogre is a lockdown support, like Shaman?>NO! I must buy Hand of Midas!
Just tested it - Multicast applies to Phylactery. So if you want to do dumb shit with Fat Chance, you better go for Khanda and Kaya&Sange.
phylactery necro
there should be dota+ only queue so we dont get poorfags
Where is the Marci Valentine's Day event
>>557374903that's pennies compared to the hats poorfags splurge on
>report a guy>queue single draft on a whim a day later>he's therelul
>>557374903The poorfags are honestly better than the ones who spend money. At least in low mmr.
>>557364705>we need to group>group up>we need to group>group up
>>557376534>queue single draftnobody does this
>8 game win streak>mentally prepare myself for the next few games>zeus mid that is 0/7/1 and avoids teamfights, let every lane get pushed and didconnected after flaming our core for picking a facet he didn't like on it>our pos 5 was a pudge with 26 deaths in a 35 min game>next game a np 4 that didn't buy any wards at start, died 5 times in 4 min and proceeds to teleport to their core to feed him gold intentionally for another 5 minutes, then farms a shadowblade and bloodthorn while tryharding and flaming(he didn't get muted) love how blatant this bullshit is lmao
>>557382818do u think it would be fair for that zeus to lose 80% of his games just because he's a bad person with a dysfunctional computer monitor and can only move 2 fingers on each hand because he's addicted to hard drugs? you monster? think about it before you post next time
>>557382908He lost his land and kept rage buybacking whenever it was off cd. The enemies rotated lane from lane as a deathball and he was too busy flaming than playing.Funny how people blatantly shittalking don't get muted but when I try to defend myself I get insta muted.
>>557383152>He lost his landwhite man came..... from across the sea
anyone else experience games being more toxic during weekends?I always manage to get more griefers during saturdays
>>557385139weekend warriors come out who dont grind every day, play slightly out of practice and rail off 6-8 questionable games
>here's your carry bro
>>557387821
>>557350802Good for the level 1 5v5 fight
>>557385139weekend shitters only play on weekends and can't take a loss do they sperg out
my treant has missed ulti 4 times in arow26 min in he doesnt have a single iteminsane for a supp with wave clear
>>5573898025 TIMES AND HE GAVE IT TO RUBICK LMAO HOW IS THIS REAL
>>5573900126oh wait 7 he didnt blink and instead ulted the ground instead of the morph with 1 hpdamnits hard to play this hero huh
oh razor is absolutely busted btw
why best of fives
>>557390720im not convincedthe hero doesnt scale
>win one (1) more bo1 than another team>get 25k+ more guaranteedthis tourney format sucks
>>557390908you did the greaves aura built like a dumb retard instead of buying attack speed and satanic
>>557391209if they break your link early you are a range creep
>>557390908literally has free damage from every spell you just need to buy tanky if you need damage late game you can get that 5th or 6th item
>>557391353>he thinks the damage comes from linki literally just played against a morph and storm and took a dump on them
>>557391457you played into a terrible draft
razor is a pos1 right clicker
>>557391507literally havent played this hero im ages and im just first picking it to farm role queue games
>>557391558im not saying the hero isnt strong, its just not bonkers busted
>>557391631youre dogshit at the game your opinion doesnt count
>>557391698>11-9 at blast
>>557391970meanwhile treant is 10-3 with 95% p/b
>>557391970>94% p/bwow i wonder if its being let through when teams think they can beat it? still 55% winrate btwmeanwhile huskar is 1-4, are you saying its a bad hero?
>>557392148huskar sucks compared to razor or tree
>>557392148also the razor was ignored for this match of liquid/og
>>557391970because theyre picking it offlane or mid instead of pos1
>>557392359his was played from offlane and 1liquid and falcons played him 3heroic and navi played him 1
>>557392716so whats your point faggot
>>557392809that is not a role problem, the hero just isnt over the top in balance as you suggest
its the jakiro faggot arguing that top 3 picked heroes arent good again isnt it?
>>557392948any hero has has multiple top pick counters is not op
>poo g
team sweden wins another game
Eh well dotards. After a good 2 weeks break I'm ready to face my mandatory 3 single draft wins in order to go back to normal matchmaking

Razor is trash, simple as.>muh esportsDon't care, play the game instead of watching other people play it.
>>557394053see >>557391558
>>557392948people on this thread love to be contrarian for the sake of it and pretend theyve cracked the code and they understand the meta better than people in 5 digit mmr dothe australian autist who levelled ice path lvl 1 on jakiro calling jakiro a bad laner is a prime example of thisit's just that dotards spent 4 to 5 digits hours playing this game yet theyre stuck at ancient/low divine YET they have the sense of entitlement to think they cracked the meta before anybody else
>>557394080>low mmr statsDon't care.
>>557394053>Razor is trash, simple ashow so?
>>557320171if a hero gets a straight nerfed, it doesn't take a mind reader to realise it means the devs think they're too strongI would like an insight behind complete reworks though. I'm still sad about the spectre rework and I don't understand the logic behind it. Same with removing illusions benefiting from item passives, but still receiving hero passives.
>>557394195you're low mmr
I hope Razor doesnt get a mega nerf after this.
>>557395229Why would they nerf a dogshit hero?
Single draft games are so fucking dogshit omg
lelquid
razor is too strongthat means we're nerfing abaddon in the next patch
>>557396413Why are you playing single draft

i'm new and don't really know which content creators or streamers to follow but youtube recommended me a compilation of an Immortal rank player named gorge just raging and dying, it was pretty entertaining.

>natsumi
what if every single hero got +50 base armor all at the same time
>>557403510et instantly banned every game
>>557394053Razor is one of the worst heroes in the game, if not the worst.
>>557401179dotacinema produces a lot of content, but its mostly just highlightsi like watching jenkins' herald reviews but im a loser
>>557405041>53.55% winrate in immortal tho
that og liquid game is crazy
>>557405596He's very very bad. If he's winning then the game was decided without his influence, he's a literal ranged creep.
>it's the 'x hero is a melee/ranged creep' retard
>razor is good because... HE JUST IS
>>557406471he is good because he is a strong laner and utilizes early defense items wellthe problem is trying to end the game
>x hero has a good winrate on d2pt >actually he's... BAD!
I don't think I have the mental fortitude to trudge through low mmr without a friend. Is the secret just to mute everyone and only ping? I know climbing is possible but the level of stupidity just puts me on insane tilt.
>>557407013never tilt your teammates by pinging death timers/items and such. this is a game changer in low mmr
>>557407013Pick carry or midWin laneGet itemsWin game soloCan't win lane? Get good, you're playing against literal retards
ez for liquid
>>557406346>You're playing 4v5 with a litteral ranged creep>You're still winning 53% of the timeYeah i don't think so.
>>557407674it's the australian retard
How the fuck do I counter Phoenix's reduction of my attack speed???? She literally makes it so I can't even attack, what the fuuuuuccckkkk
>>557407957bkb
>>557407112I can't stand how much I have to baby people in their late 30s and I don't know how people who don't know how to use items are here. I can ping someone to build pipe of insight millions of times but they would rather just lose to magic damage and I have to spend my core slots doing it while they rage at me for not rushing into 1v4s.Right now I'm thinking either I have to learn the secrets of how to deal with angry children or I treat this like a single player game with 9 bots.
>>557407340>carryits easier to carry from the offlane than pos1 in my experience getting out of low mmr.
>>557408059play your own game fag
>>557407340How hard do you have to win lane? I can dominate lane vs most matchups but if someone picks something like Alchemist or Brewmaster I will play passive and win through outcsing and eventually taking the turret. Should I not touch ranked until I know every single matchup for one hero?
>>557407112>>557407013strongest spell in herald/guardian is typing "its ok no worries" after someone dies
>>557408256If you're herald hero match ups don't really matter, player match up is what matters.
This slut has her tits out I GOTTA JACK OFF
>>557408010ITS THE EARLY GAME YOU FUCKING IDIOT
this 3-0 stomp by liquid only reinforces that the group stage bo1 was a shit idea
>>557408545You didn't specify. That's your fault.
>>557408506thank you for the updates on the tittybar
>>557408319yup always typing 'its fine' and the well played ping line earnestly is a games changeryou have to mentally coddle them, it's a patience game because while you reinforce your teammates the other side will tilt out faster and eat each other alive
>>557408545dodge the skill shot then
>>557408674you coddle yourself by doing this tooforcing yourself to be mentally positive and not allowing the tilt to occur
>>557408576bo1 was fine for the group stage. it's the top 2 teams going straight to the LAN that's not good.
>>557408059if you do >>557408319 and >>557408674 your teammates will be willing to listen to youI positively reinforce my teammates and make objective calls which then gives me the right to chat 'need crimson on x' 'need a nullifier' 'save buybacks' and they're fine with it and complyit's all about taking that leadership role and reinforcing the sometimes fragile minds of your little soldiers
>>557409015a 2 group round robin bo3 would have justified the direct seed
>>557408696>dodgeI'm literally playing against bots that don't miss, fuck offfffffff
>>557409361skill issue
>>557408456That's how it works for most games. I keep getting told that every hero has a hard counter pick that's designed to destroy them so that apparently isn't true so I play extremely conservative in unknown matchups. I intend to one trick Razor because he seems pretty difficult to hard counter.>>557408319>>557408674>>557409121I wish more guides talked about this because this is way more important than anything mechanically speaking. I've never used voice lines but I heard quite a few of them cost money. I'm thinking I should try a game just only using those.
>>557408319>>557408674>>557409121>typing anything into chat so you can get reportedYou only need the "Game is Hard" ping at most, and nothing else. I don't even keep "Well Played!" in my chat wheel anymore because of how people use it too much sarcastically so genuine "Well Played!"s just come off as you being a fag.The people whining about their latest feed and wanting reassurance shouldn't be reassured most of the time. It just makes them complacent or opens you up as a target for venting, and probably blame. Shitters are like children, which means that when they fuck up and/or hurt themselves, they look around to see how they should react. If you make a big deal about it, they'll make a big deal about it. If you keep on trucking, they'll pick themselves up and go back to work. You need to not only treat them like they're fragile, but keep them focused on the proper direction too.
>>557390720d2pt shows him 55% wr offlane.
>>557409652you're not in the conversation low com score trannyi communicate all the time and have a pristine behavior/com score because all my coms are constructive. if you cant stop yourself from calling other players nigger just play single player games bro
>>557409139of course, but I like the bo1 group stage, I just don't like the top two teams going straight to a single elimination semi finals. Make the LAN double elimination and problem solved.
>>557409551just look on dotabuff to see your main heroes' counters (and which heroes your heroes counter)
>>557409985its still way too much advantage for winning 1 more bo1 than another teamseeding needs to be determined by a bo3
i can't even win against FUCKING bots, fuck this game
>>557410259I usually first pick because people in this range don't select their heroes on time and I hate losing gold. According to the guide though the worst heroes for Razor are common heroes like Bloodseeker and Weaver.
>>557410283Restructuring the play-in so the top 2 teams have to play at least 1 bo3 to get to the LAN would be the best solution.
>>557410634>first pickThat doesn't matter. It's about knowing who counters your hero, how they counter you and how to adapt to those match-ups.>According to the guide though the worst heroes for Razor are common heroes like Bloodseeker and Weaver.Now think about why those heroes are "counters" to Razor. The thing with razor is he can be played in multiple positions so how relevant a counter is can depend on what position you are in.
>>557411645>>557410634Also losing a tiny bit of starting gold at low mmr doesn't matter. Who fucking cares if you can't afford a single branch.
>>557411645They can jump on him and kill him. Weaver can have his bugs tank Razor's ult while Bloodseeker has a long silencer on a hero with few mobility options. QoP just blinks out of his range which is also annoying. The nice thing about them being Razor's hardest matchups is that it means I don't have to be too concerned about niche heroes like Brewmaster completely destroying me.
dude what if i last pick zeus against riki clinkz its the perfect counter bro trust
I just played Grimstroke for the first time. This hero is pretty frickin strong!
>>557308615Someone here gave me some good offlane advice last thread and I just wanted to say thanks anon, I've been winning a lot more recently
>>557412482said no one ever
>>557412971I am not that nigga, but i am happy for you, at least someone somewhere is having a good time in this game and not getting perma griefed by both supports picking 0 stuns and save for months now and being lvl 4 at minute 15 for weeks now
>>557412482hes pretty cool but i cant stand being the target of that gay fucking ghost move
there's still something incredibly bugged about clinkza skeleton archer is supposed to deal 20% dmgi have 95 damage block on tideand i have 40 hp and i die to a fucking nigger
>>557412971What was the advice?
Remember when you could buy rapier to counter pa?
>>557413819searing arrows is spell damage
>>557413819They count as wards, wards ignore damage block.
>>557411786I don't care about it much, but the teammates will. I've learned my biggest issue is probably that I'm too focused on other people and my desire to win depends entirely on how much I respect my teammates, which in this bracket will be very little unless they are actually new to the game and just admit to being bad like in my case.
>>557409790Retard. This is how I keep 12k bs/cs.99% of the things worth saying can be said through pings. Zero point actually typing in game and making yourself a target they can fixate on.If you want people to gab with, get friends to party with you.If you want to give suggestions, use pings. Simple as.Trying to have conversations like "it's okay you fed that fight, I'll still give your boipussy a commend at the end" or "our melee cores cannot face the deathball head-on because of Medusa ult so we need to work together to bait the ult first before committing to a teamfight, or focus on pickoffs" is too difficult for pubs no matter the MMR. If you needed to explain that shit in the first place, they will not understand and/or refuse to follow the plan anyway because it's no big deal we just need more damage and press all our buttons on her first before the ult petrifies you!!!!!, and you're back to square one.
>>557416423I've never used automated lines in my life. How do you press them and what are your go to ones?

>>557416729Congrats! My goal is to hit Crusader but I'm not winning enough games in Herald yet so I'm trying to really learn how to win so I can at least get out of Herald when rank calibration ends.
>>557416712This meme slaps
>>557417072I went from herald to guardian and now crusaderit has been a long and tedious climb but I did itironically my last guardian game I played just now was a mirana game and I did not do very well but we still wonhopefully I'm high enough rank now so that people stop calling me a smurf but we'll see
how do you fix zeus
>>557417432I want to skip the climbing process I had to do in League, but this game is definitely harder and more designed as a team game so hitting Archon is more impressive than League's equivalent so I have to temper my expectations. I don't know if League was just so much easier or I simply forgot how to handle low ranks but my current score is 50/50 on ranked and I need to change that to at least 70% and quickly.
>>557416560Alt+M1 -> PingCtrl+Alt+M1 -> Don't go there you fucking retard ping (unless you have a Kunkka)Alt+M1 (hold) -> ping wheel like "enemy ward here", "on my way", etc.Alt+M1 an item on cd -> "[Teleport scroll] is on cooldown for 5 seconds"Alt+M1 an item in the shop window -> "I will buy [Nullifier]"Ctrl+Alt+M1 an item in the shop window -> "I think somebody should buy [Black King Bar]"Alt+M1 an item in your pre-buy box -> "I need X gold to finish buying [Nullifier]"Alt+M1 an enemy portrait -> "[Pudge] is missing!"Alt+M1 a dead enemy portrait -> "[Pudge] will respawn in X seconds"Ctrl+Alt+M1 an enemy portrait -> "[Pudge] has returned!"There are also two chat wheels of voice lines you can set in the settings menu. There's a third chat wheel but that's for Dota+ hero voice lines.The only voice lines you really need in those chat wheels are "Get Back!", "Missing!", and something like "Pulling/Stacking creeps" so your carries don't run up to the enemy tower like retards with no creep wave. Maybe a "Well Played!" or similar. Everything else can be done/said with the ping wheel or default pings.
Reminder Overwatch got both Valentine's and New Lunar Year events, on top of an original event.

>pos 5 wyvern griefing for 65 min>lose because he unpauses when anothber nigger decides to dci fucking hope these people get shot in ukraine main i cant deal anymore
ok which website these days tells me which heroes to pick in which roles?
>>557418082league ranks are pretty worthless until like mid diamond since nobody has map awareness before that and everyone just wants to aura farm
>>557418338why the fuck are you shilling fucking overwatch on d2g it's not even the same genre of games you fucking mongoloid
this retard over here shilling overwatch, it's like saying you like apples and then someone else says that camaros are good cars, fucking what my dude?
>>557418835Nobody has map awareness in here either, but the big thing that makes League easier is that you can actually ward things yourself in that game as a core. >>557418228Thank you very much. Is there a way in settings to automute chat? Or am I not supposed to?
>>557419547>ward things yourself in that game as a core.because nobody dewards shit in that game
>>557419017$5 have been deposited into your steam wallet
>>557419869Perhaps I should learn how the vision game works in this game. Anything you'd recommend?
>>557412059>Weaver can have his bugs tank Razor's ultJust want to chime in that this isn't true, and I just tested it in Demo and Razor ult never zapped the bugs if there are no other targets.Weaver bugs in general are spell immune. The only way you get rid of them is disappearing from vision (invis, etc.), invulnerability, disappearing from the map entirely (e.g. Astral, or Infest), or right-clicks. Spells and DoTs and auras and shit don't work on them in general. That's why bugs are great and stay great all game.This is the reason why Weaver has an advantage against Razor. Those bugs require him to right-click them instead of Weaver or another hero in the middle of a fight or else the minus armour will fuck him up. And in this current meta, Mek/Greaves won't purge the bugs or the minus armour until the bugs are gone either (doesn't even reset the debuff, just checked). Plus Weaver has a good chance of escaping Static Link quickly with Shukuchi so Razor going on Weaver is a waste of time even if Weaver is the priority target.

>quinny
>>557413827As dumb as it is, be an extension of your team. I was given this perception that POS 3 was supposed to be a 7000 HP 30 armor hero that blinked and ulted and won fights single-handedly, but I found myself getting killed despite my high HP and not contributing anything. I realized that I blink and AOE stun not so I can kill and I can have the glory, but so my POS 1 and 2 and 4 can burst the enemy save hero, then the enemy AOE teamfighter, then their glass cannon, all before their POS 3 wakes up. Talking to my team about target priority each game definitely helps.
>>557422834This is how I play often, I'm the one going in, CCing and fucking up their team and they blow their load on me. Works well a lot of time.... sadly there's times when you have a pos1 that's never active no matter how long the match been going on or nobody that goes in after you. And those games are super passive and we mostly lose.
>LD rushed aghs and never farmed with his bear afterwards so he's six slotted but underlevelled as fuckrip>>557380456my friend does and i queue with him

everyday blast
THIS IS MY CURRENT AND WHAT I FIND TO BE THE RELATIVE META/GAME AND HOW ITS A NIGGER AND BASED AROUND FARMING MORE THEN KILLING WHICH IS DOGSHIT: https://youtu.be/ANM4wgLFjkM
>>557420468surprisingly nice feet
what's the better website for understanding the meta, dotabuff or dota2protracker? or something else?I've been gone too long I don't know what to pick or what key items to pickup.
Are people irl as stupid as in this game?People here like to shit normies a lot but I've never felt presence of stupidity near other people like I do in DOTA, wherever I was, even dumb people can be interesting or have shit to say.But in my thousand games I am the only one that genuinely shared thoughts about the game and why I think my decision was right when I get flamed. People in this game are so miserable and only pin blame and flame.
>>557409652>>557409551instead of well played its way better to just throw out high fives
>>557416423>in a permanent fear of losing behavior/com score>i have a pristine score though!you're a joke of a poster. day in day out you just churn out bullshit and expect people not to notice how much of a faggot retard you are
>>557425246>guardian after 12k hours of dotahow the fuck does that happen tranny? You're queuing on US servs too
pos3 is the "blame role" if a game goes bad now
>>557427436That has always been mid.>t. midOr this is confirmation bias cause we play that role.
>>557420468one of my coworkers has an instagram pic like this that has seen so much action
played a game of dota today, lads
>>557426737u mirin?
>>557427436valve made pos3 the grief role, it was already kinda like that but now it's officialrape and behead every weaver picker who isn't playing carry
you know pos3 as a role is in dire straits when this is the meta
>>557430163largo is so busted its not even funnyyou need pipe shivas and shit to just deal with the damage and heal and then he still has +30 armor like wtf
>>557430347It's funny as shit how he went from useless to cancer as soon as people started rushing Aghs on him. Retards kept building around his shitty innate.
>>557430163How the fuck is Largo 55% winrate? All he does is sit around and feed.
i wish i had someone to play party ranked with nowadayswhy are people in general so content with being stuck in ancient tier matchmaking while still having 10k hours in dota? fuck man it cant be that hard
>>557418814razor as 1 2 3shadow demon or treant protector as 4 5
>>557431259They don't care. My 1k retard friends probably enjoy the game more than I do.

>>557431595Good players whine a lot more than shitters do.
>>557418776SAME Ukrainians are the worst omgI just rewatched that replay from when the Ukrainian Lifestealer on my team denied my Aegis of the Immortal. Man, I'm tilted all over again!

member when people said PL was OP and then everybody forgot about him a week later
this game brings the worst out of me I'm a prisoner inside my head and this is what my sentence is I'm always better off doing other things but I keep ending up here because it's what I deserve I'm a subhuman and I belong inside this stupid made up limbo I'm too fucked to try and blend in with real people I tried over and over and every failure traumatizes me I don't even want happiness just let me feel ok for more than a week without taking it away from me and making everything worse in this fucking infinite loop what a joke of an existence what is the point of this shit
>>557441507i play pos 3 too
well it was a good run navi
did we like the bo5 single elim format?
Alright it's been a few times that I see a radiant player body block the creeps of the dire safelane at game start, without being attacked. How the fuck does that works?
>>557442518first wave doesn't aggro because people were creeppulling too muchhonestly can't remember exactly how it works, but it's something like that
>OG lost 0:3 Did they get RTZ to sub for them
>>557442738nah this new og has been like that every tournamentown during grop stage and then get eliminated instantly
>let's go on huskar!>let's go on huskar! Just fucking wait for ice blast, what the fuck
why would a mid lane windrunner not take kill shot against huskar?
>Fail to armlet toggle on roshThat's it, i'm as skilled at huskar as a pro.
wouldn't you go kill shot vs huskar
yandex are mindbroken. thats too bad, i like watson
>>557443317>i like watsonWhy
>>557443391hes good at the videogame
>>557443317their standin sucks
>>557443208>>557443269Tangled facet is the new FOTM. See people like >>557334548 who love it to bits.
Why yes, I think I will pick Leshrac position 1 and jungle farm for 20 minutes and ignore all the pings from my teammates
must say its pretty enjoyable not playing dota sometimes
>>557444152whoops image
Saksa's verterbrae found in a dumpster
>>557444060i would just think killshot is so good that you'd take it.huskar is the hero windranger has the biggest winrate advantage vs and with killshot 70% pick rate i think that's the biggest reason
>>557444060I thought I was missing some weird interaction between the two heroes. Doesn't kill shot also go through shallow grave? This would not be the first time pro or high ranked players have their own meta even though what they are doing is stupid and bad. If I gambled I'd be murderously angry right now.
>>557444376well windranger already had 2% winrate advantage in the patch before killshot so it's not all because of that facet
>>557444376her entire kit is anti huskarevasion, single target focus ulti
>>557420241>Weaver bugs in general are spell immuneThanks for informing me. It seems like a mix of QoP and Bloodseekers reasons then. Knowing this will make the matchup easier, though I've never had to lane with one yet since I typically go mid.>>557420802I'll try it. It will likely me be a lot of feeding so I'll mess with unranked. I feel like I simply have less control over warding than I expected.>>557426460Only works when you're next to them, but I agree.
How do you play brood this patch? seems like every game my team just feeds too while i farm my lane.yet she still has a high winrate in higher brackets
isnt huskar + centaur aghs a fucking broken combo?
DotA is so fun, I wish I could play it. I hate the bots.
>>557444701Cart is fair and balanced
>>557444616brood has low pickrate and is played primarily by hero specialistsbut eh i dont really know what tricks they got. you can't even watch high mmr games anymore otherwise i'd suggest that.
ya winning your games there?
does static link attack through mars walls?
>razor is a bad herot. australian jakiro hater
What do I play if for example I wanted to play Dota 2 but don't like competing Like Diablo 4 or PoE or something?
Is yandex just a mars and an AAI haven't seen the other two cores do diddly dick for the last 15 minutes
>>557445461Do you have social anxiety, too?
>>557443930malik had great games, he went beast mode on game 4 even though they lost
kez is such a meme hero
>team with saves shits on team with meme cores and no savesDraft diff bg
>>557445570Yeah, but I want to play Dota 2, because I like all the mechanics and interactions and numbers and scaling, but I want the scaling to be long term, not short 40 minute games, more like 400 hours. Like imagine a game where you pick a handful of skills out of 400 skills and passives to pick from, and hundreds of items with different passive stat boosts, and you can keep iterating and refining your build over the course of hundreds of hours and the scaling never quite ends because you can always get better item drops with better stats
>>557442458its a loooooong day
>>557445570Nta but it has less to do with social anxiety and more Dota promises a 5v5 but is most of the time a 1v9 without an extreme climb. I don't know if I have the heart to pass through the gates and play an actual team game.
>>557445923there's a billion roguelikes to pick from
honestly i'm too anxious to play corecan only play carry and mid when i take some benzos
>>557445912centaur aghs feels like the most broken shit in the gameprobably best save? only bad thing is low cast range but it has so many upsides like the target being able to dps while invulerable and you can just run away hasted as well. and then you can also just use the cart for a self haste instead of wasting ulti.
>>557442458yes it’s better
>>557446107youre not invulnerable but untargetablearea spells still damagebut yeah it's too strong, cart and ringmaster box are too good
>>557445461Welcome to my world. I want to play dota I just want it to be to be a 1v1. Blizzard fucked up the Warcraft 3 remake, and that was probably the closest we could get to 1v1 dota. There are not other games out there that have the same quality as dota 2. So you are just out of luck. And it seems like 1v1 games are going the way of the dinosaur, everything is team games now because everyone wants to be social or whatever.
>>557445404He's the guy who calls every hero a melee or ranged creep and who's like Ancient on australia servers which is pretty much EUW archon. Just a contrarian autistic freak amongst many
>>557446403that was changed almost two years ago.
>>557446107It's not even that it's broken, though it is, but even dazzle killed their early moves because kez wr mars are all one pump chumps that all had to turn tail when grave came out They grouped as 5 mid, pressed all their buttons on the huskar that was balling out of control, dazzle pressed 2, and then they overcommitted, ate a bushwack and got punished (and no huskar kill)Repeat until the end, where it was centaur with aghs parading a razor with focus fire wasted while he's in the cart killing your WROnly OG can play WR core apparently, or it's just watson chira being shit
>>557446529Yeah, a 1v1 Dota would be great
>>557447385you guys know you can make custom games right1v1 mid is a thing
>>557446030They all suck thoThere's a few I like though, like Overlooting, Mega Loot, and Dungeon Exile
>>557447454yes I know but 1v1 dota as in it being a proper rts, a fully fleshed out game, not just hitting creeps mid, anon. I thought me mentioning warcraft 3 would get that idea across.
>>557432473Then they should act like that.
Did the thread bully finally leave?
>>557449941thank you for announcing your presence
when are they deleting kez
so what's the point of pos1 these days? it's never top damage. is it just to hit buildings?
>>557452030I might drop carry and just stay mid. Carry kind of sucks for solo.
>>557452030you need a guy that just werks in case you miss everything
>>557452271I used to like mid but I'm too washed up.
mid is the only role i can play because of my social anxietyhaving a lane partner is just.....aaaaaaaaaaaAAAAHHH
>>557453095I can never tell if posts like these are satire.
Is there a way to get back at a group of dota bullies? They made me play pos 5 for years and made fun of me.
>>557427436I donno, lots of games where the mids are just totally useless and kind of feed but nobody ever complains about them.But when I play pos3 and doesn't rape the enemy carry out of the lane, despite the fact that he counter picked me, isn't the most farmed player in the game while I'm suppose to create space and gank 24/7 people always seethe and whine.Oh and you're also suppose to build 3 aura items, blink and win every team fight.Mid feels more like a pos4 now, they can just play whatever they want and do whatever
>>557453636you have to pretend to be a woman and seduce them, let them pound your ass, and then laugh at them for being fags and having sex with men.
>>557453497satire of wha
>>557453786I can never bully the pos1 out of lane as pos3 unless my pos4 gets me like 4 kills before level 6.I know I'm bad at laning, but am I really that bad?I always have to run to the jungle at level 3 as pos1 or pos3 unless my support gets me lots of kills early.
>>557454335Could be that you are bad at laning BUUUT also keep in mind that most of the time the enemy carry can pick after they see your pick, so they can easily counter pick you.AAAAAAAAND pos4 players are the literal scum of the earth so there's a chance you have a pos4 that does nothing in lane except stand back and leech EXP.Pick heroes like cent and axe is such a risky move now as they are so easily counterpicked
>>557454769I like LC but I play the greedy facet to help my team scale which also makes lane harder.but having a 200 hp shield isn't going to help me stay in the lane when my pos4 is gone. last time they left at minute 1 and didn't come back until 5 minutes, died, and then never came back.
>>557454335just pick an offlaner that has a built in flashfarm spell like centaur, axe, underlord because offlane is the autolose lane right now, carries are overtuned particularly ranged carries and heal supports are in so they almost always win the sustain battleget your pos4 to drag waves or do it yourself or be ready to farm camps and wait for the wave to be under your tower. Or just play another role lol, I'm tired of offlane too
>>557451235but anon told me kez was shit!
>>557456849Kez is retarded, went mid against him as marci and got my shit kicked in, most fucking braindead retarded hero in the game.
>>557457083he is just the latest anti-melee hero
I got placed crusader 5
>>557459392congrats
Which heroes would listen to death metal?
>>557462347Doom.
speaking of doom, i've played him twice now, could someone explain why no matter what creep I eat, nothing shows up on the skill bar and I don't gain any abilites or passives?
>>557465325turn off alt cast
>>557465509i dont know what that is
>>557465724the glowy border thing. just read the spell description
>>557466089could not have been a less helpful post
>>557466221so i misspoke, turn on alt cast would be correct. but really now just a quick skim and your problem is solved innit
>>557466767Ionce againDONT KNOW WHAT THAT ISSo I have to hold control every single time I press Q?
>>557467047i dunno what your settings are. just right click it

>>557466767Alt + Q to toggle, then press alt + Q whenever you don't want a new ability.
>>557453497Just treat everything seriously. Giving the "merely pretending" crowd shit is trivial.Also, I don't role token mid, because it's fucking soul draining to watch both the side lanes give up two kills each before five minutes.
need QoP main gf
Is Wraith King a respectable hero pick?
why the FUCK is everbody going Radiance on Abaddon now
>>557468636Yes. In what position?Just build Armlet instead of fucking Radiance, for fuck's sake.
>>557468864But the Youtube Slideshow man said-
>>557468976SHUT
>>557468864you mean Midas instead of Radiance.
>>557469349(You)Buffing Radiance was IceFrog's biggest mistake.
>>557468636No.Skeleton King is, thougheverbeit.
>>557468839see: lifestealer
No bullshit. No hurt feelings. Just facts.Which games is harder: Dota or Deadlock?Elaborate.
>>557470970Deadlock. it's not even close.it's also way more fun. it doesn't launch on the Steam Deck anymore though so I'm visiting Dota again.
>>557470970deadcock is twice as sweaty but probably not too hard if youre a shooter guy because spells are pretty standardizedso about the same i guess
>>557470970Deadlock, not even close.
>>557471283>>557471479>>557471501Why? Is it just because of the aiming aspect? What about all the different mechanics and interactions that dota have that deadlock doesn't. To me, deadlock just feel less intellectually demanding. Like there's a lot more downtime because less is happening. But that's just how I felt when I played it a couple hours then uninstalled because I just hate shooters, and never cared about them. Like to me it is 100 times harder than dota because I'm just not good at shooters, but if I already played shooters, I don't think it'd be an issue to me.
If dota was alive it would have 3 or 2 seasonal updates per year.
>>557471787No, because of Map knowledge and character movement, its basically 3D Smash bros with dota
>>557471846what qualifies as a seasonal update? there were 3 number patches last year7.38, 7.39 and 7.40
It's only Turbo but why am I so mad?
>>557472167Seasonal rank reset/Improvements to Rank system.QoL/Bug FixesBalance updates/Map Updates.Hats implemented into gameplay as rewards other than just "grind 300 levels of points lmao" Maybe some new features thrown in.
>>557472558then all those qualify
>>557472654No because Dota patches don't improve on anything they just add shit on top of shit and maybe shuffle shit around.No rank resets either.Also 7.38 to 7.39 was 3 months apart. and 7.40 was almost 9 months later.
>>557471954>Map knowledgeIn what way is it harder or more complex than dota's map? To me it feels like dota has a lot more going on at a time.>character movementIn what way? How is it more complex than smite or paragon for example, when they both have 3d movement. Well smite is 2.5d, but paragon has 3d movement, but I wouldn't say paragon is even harder than smite because of its 3d movement.
>>557472884>No rank resets either.What's the point or rank reset? Does chess have rank reset?
>>557472954>In what way is it harder or more complex than dota's map?In the fact its actually 3D and you only have limited field of vision due to TPS camera, the buildings surrounding you, the fog walls blocking you, theres also verticality, something dota doesnt have because its top down.>In what way?Its comparable to quake, theres momentum, slopes alter your speed when sliding for example, you can bounce off walls, theres jump pads, theres air dashes, theres some tech you can pull off via using the melee mechanics too.
>>557473072Dota ain't chess so not sure whats your point here. Chess is always chess. so it makes sense. Dota changes and shuffles its shit every year, why wouldn't there be a seasonal reset? it would also fix MMR inflation.
>>557473356resets are garbageits chaos for 3 weeks then you end up at the same mmr
>>557473160>Its comparable to quake, theres momentum, slopes alter your speed when sliding for example, you can bounce off walls, theres jump pads, theres air dashes, theres some tech you can pull off via using the melee mechanics too.I see this makes sense. I guess paragon doesn't have any of this, even though it has verticality.
Who calls the Dragon Knight?
>>557471787>What about all the different mechanics and interactions that dota have that deadlock doesn'tlike?>deadlock just feel less intellectually demanding. Like there's a lot more downtime because less is happeningDeadlock has so much more going on than Dota and it's way more engaging.I don't know what you were doing to feel the opposite.>I just hate shooters, and never cared about themwell that's it then.
>>557472954the map has more going on than fog of war and tree lines. you also can't ward.if smite and paragon were good then they would be popular. since nobody has ever played them they must be bad. the movement in deadlock is as simple as running around with WASD or getting into physics and calculating your momentum vectors based on the forces you and your environment are applying.
Normies who've never touched a video game will piano 5 buttons at once just to run slightly faster in a shooter but the moment the game becomes 2d and has quarter circles video games are just too hardI dont get it
>>557475645thats just americans who cannot into videogamesthats why NA dota scene doesnt exist.
>>557475994NA competitive scene doesn't exist in any game though?

Should kunkka be reworked? He doesnt do anything
>>557479167shut up tide
>>557479167The only change I want is to bring back his old water park aghs
>>557479167one shotting people was always bad design
>>557475362>like?Everything related with wave management/aggro/equilibrium/pulling/blocking.aghscontrolling other units/illusionwardingbuybackcourierturn rateday/night cyclea lot more timers to keep track of, especially the fact that you can't stack camps, so missing their timers is more forgivingThose are not all necessarily hard, but they do add a layer of complexity and stuff you need to keep track of mentally.That's why I was saying above that I felt like there was a lot more downtime in deadlock, where I could turn my brain off. Now, I only played for a couple hours, which is why I'm asking people here for their opinions, because I couldn't really form any opinion in a couple hours.>Deadlock has so much more going on than Dota and it's way more engaging.I don't know what you were doing to feel the opposite.like?>well that's it then.yeah, but you're saying there's more going on in deadlock, surely it's not the fact that it's a shooter. I'm talking mostly in term of macro. Is deadlock as macro intensive as dota? Most of what I mentioned above is macro, and it's why I felt like deadlock didn't have much going on and I could turn off my brain.>>557475641I see.
>>557473356>Dota ain't chess so not sure whats your point here.My point is that I'm showing another competitive game with no mmr reset, and it works just fine there. Nobody ever asks for a reset.>Dota changes and shuffles its shit every year, why wouldn't there be a seasonal reset? Why should mmr and gameplay changes be related, where getting some gameplay changes should affect your mmr?>it would also fix MMR inflation.why is that an issue?You're just mentioning problems, but you're not explaining why they're actually problems.
>>557475362Deadlock doesn't have much more going on if you think going around the map hitting boxes is more engaging than fighting for wisdom lotus tormentors stacks I don't know what to tell youDeadlock is easy as af to play you legit just farm take one or 2 good fights mid boss then end because it's impossible to fight into them with 3 Roshan revives
>>557481919chess doesn't have double downs inflating mmr and warping what mmr actual measures.
>>557481032brother you are literally the equivalent of herald in deadlock. taking smoke breaks during your match and buying 6 rapiers on sniper.
>>557482128people do not do any of that I'm now divine after returning from a few months and wisdoms would sit there for the full 7 minutes if I don't claim them and tormentors do not get killed.
>>557482128hitting boxes as you move between lanes is much more engaging than a+clicking a neutral camp, yes. also because movement isn't just right clicking the minimap and gooning to your second monitor.
>>557472265>9 deaths as a character that can get value just by standing in the backlinei'd be tilted too
WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GOING THIS SHIT BUILD AND AFK FARMING
>winning streak>losing streak>abruptly ends, despite the muted idiot, and role abusing "supports"Damn.
>>557486671legit the most worthless mid ive ever seenand this was a win too
>>557486671>>557488054Pros ruining your pubs, m9? Again?
timbersaw is kind of a grief pick because hes a pos 3 thats not a stunbot but hes still my favorite guy and everything he says is a fact
>>557488562>can nuke people 70% of their health up until carries hit>muh 3 cant do nuthin
>>557488795yea the thing you have to do as mimberdaw is win your lane (viable) and then scream into your microphone for 20 minutes and hope that your teammates knock down some buildings with you so that the enemy carry doesnt get to press bkb because none of the rizzler's spells work past bkb (which is REALLY FUCKING WEIRD considering every other spell at least does damage during a bkb now)
>kill enemy midlaner five times before minute 11, zero deaths on my part>enemy team has higher score because side lanes fed okay... am i supposed to rotate the moment i hit level 6 or something? these ppl need babysitters?
>>557486452Next game.I got a 3 man dunk on Axe only for my team to let the critical health Venomancer escape and then get pretty much solo'd by Bounty Hunter.
>>557489546>0 0 1 2oh my fucking goddddddddd get a killlllllll>14 deathsbuy glimmerrrrrrrrr oh my goddddddd

>>557489486update: i went 18-3 and lost ._.
I'm glad Grubby died.
>>557475290I haven't played Dota 2 in a year but I still sometimes randomly say different voice lines from the heroes like that, lolI was just walking around making my hands make a cup around my mouth and saying "ROGUE KNIGHT CLAIMS ANOTHER."
was having a good game then bam my carry disconnects for 5 minutesi dont wanna play anymore i need to uninstall this so the temptation isnt there
>2026>tiny presses stun and toss at the same timeyeah thats an avoidfucking brain dead nigger gave up a kill on a supp because he has no idea how the game works
>>557495383can you tell us whats wrong with pressing stun and toss at the same time i mean i know whats wrong with it but like for the class and all the people in the back who dont know haha
>>557484337I know, which is exactly why I'm asking here for people to explain. You didn't answer any of my points though.
buy BKB
>>557498116no, bkb is a cancer upon this game since its release and should be removed
>>557498163so true suppsis
>>557495616avalance hasnt done double damage in like a year and the stun is an aura that cant be bkbd or anything so the combo is avalance, hit, toss, hit, throw tree
lost another won game because of terrible fucking russiansim so sick of these niggers its not even fun playing dota anymore
>getting stomped>lv26 mid doesn't have a single dispel>dies a few times>winwhooooaaa
is there anything i can do against dusa as a spellcaster like zeus or timber?
>>557499149>zeusdisconnect and give your team gold>timberdive her over and over min 5ordive and bait ultorkill everyone else first
>>557499149Whenever I play against Timber and often shut him down early on he just doesn't care, scales in HP, does giga damage and is almost unkillable unless focus fired. They took 3 strength from him and he still looks completely broken.
>play hc>if i do not get more than 15 kills its insta loss>if i die more than 6 times its insta loss>it doesnt matter you passed the check, you can still lose the game>play support>just right click the guy on the enemy team>buy no wards because the other guy hoards them>6/7 in the end>easy win
>>557498116not yet*continues shitting myself*
>>557472265as a turbo cm spammer builds like this piss me off so muchno shardaghs with no bkb, no shardmjollnir for literally no fucking reasonkaya sange just taking up a slot really not doing anythingalso greaves are dogshit on cm you will just die from full hp anyways especially against that lineup and especially when you get arrowed
getting btfo'd by sky and nyx feels shameful
unfortunate my last pick necro player got huskar'd
bkb should apply a dispel at the end
what if refresher worked on buyback
what if using refresher added 500 to your buyback cost with each use
>>557503309I heard it kinda worked like that in the past. Debuff immunity in general.
i cant do anymore offlane role queuessomeone delete this role from the game please
>>557505119no you just couldnt target them with spells and items unless it's bkb piercing
>>557505268Rtz said once you to time for example MK stun to tp cancel, you couldn't do it on BKB'd target because then the effect wouldn't be "in background" like it is now.
>>557505592because they're not affected at all
>>557505191What\s so bad about the role? To me offlane is an untouchable structure on the map that you have to commit 3 heroes to kill or he'll just sit and farm enemy safelane and push the wave into t2, and if you rotate heroes for him he just made a lot of space for his entire other team.A lot of offlaners can even kill you 1v2/1v3 in the early midgame.
>>557503309this would defeat its nerf to have spells pierce it
>>557505631I think it's more low skill to have it like it is right now.
>>557505873that's the point
when should i pick greedy enchantment? im in herald and idk if it should be picked when ahead or when behind

>>557508856im queued...
>>557468839bro is 10 months late
>>557509790You can do it!
>>557502575Whens the best time to get shard? Its great for farming/split pushing but I find it hard to justify in a close game over another proper support item.
>>557510516in turbo, as soon as possible.its your best farming tool, you can kill a whole creepwave, and whole camp(incl. stacked) - Q'ing it as well. you can drag two camps close, shard and q.it also allows you to 9 sec root people as early as level 7 with maxed frostbite.theres also the dodge component. can dodge stuff like pudge hook, sniper ult, push yourself out of clock cogs etc. playing near cliffs/terrain changes you can also push yourself uphill with it.also, when you ult, you can shard immediately, then it will frostbite people around you. also very important against rubick as you can shard immediately so he never steals your ult because if he does you will probably lose that fightin normals/ranked you should be torming for it because you should be buying other stuff, but its a core item on the hero. if people are playing without it i dont think they really understand what it does.
lmao
damn they actually start on time
>>557498268>avalance hasnt done double damage in like a yearoh shit I didn't know they changed it.
>>557511193I should have clarified I meant in normal/ranked. Turbo it's an absolute no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

I'm the only person shooting troopers from other lanes off the zipline when inside their base, just like I'm the only person in dota who grabs spawning creep waves of other lanes when in their base.>aghsadded variety to a 15 year old game>controlling other units/illusionnobody likes playing chen, and you can't micro like that outside RTS. there was an illusion hero in neon prime (original deadlock) so maybe>wardinglegacy mechanic, not needed>buybackshit mechanic makes games last 20 minutes longer than they should. I like the current reduce respawn timer when they weaken your patron more.>courierlegacy mechanic and no need>turn rateyou think your movement is complex because your hero takes time to turn? lol>day/night cyclelegacy mechanic, but I could see it being added>a lot more timers to keep track of, especially the fact that you can't stack camps, so missing their timers is more forgivingrunes (exist) wisdom (like urn) jungle timers, roshan (mid boss)? stacking sucks and is a bug turned into a feature which is why they nerfed leash ranges.lots of things in dota are the way they are because that's how wc3 was. I've been playing dota since 2003, before allstars (probably before you're born my steam account is old enough to drink and probably older than you). if you could've seen the way the game and community evolved over time it would change your perspective.
>first low prio game of the gay>mid anti mage has all the wards on quickbuy, doesnt even plant themits over
>>557513879thats not a secret
>>557514436Every time he stop being a highly contested pick he gets stronger as people forget how to play against him, thus making him a secret op hero.
>>557513971when I think back to how inconsistent Starlink was a year ago when I first got it, to how smooth it is today, it's crazy. I was getting dropped once every 3 matches, or when playing wow I would be disconnected once every 2 hours. I also had to use the low quality network setting.

>>557514351buyback still kind of blows my mind as to why it exists. strange that it ever existed in the first place, but because it did at one point, theyve never had the balls to remove itif you dont think of buyback as something thats just been accepted as a dota mechanic for its lifetime, it makes literally 0 sense to be in the game.
>losing with razorlmao
>>557523074dota has a lot of these legacy mechanics, which is why icefrog removed them when he was designing lol.

if your hero can't efficiently farm the jungle before level 5 then it's a bad pick.
remember when clockwork cogs were a square?
>>557534575I seriously hate how this is actually true, the only reason heroes like Bane and Clock isn't top tier picks is because they can't farm.They even buffed clocks battery so he could farm a bit better, and it wasn't even anything close to shit like all the flash farmers do... yet they nerfed it.

russia is so bad fuck off nerds
>>557535080You don't need to flash farm to be a good pick. You just need to be able to get kills. Bane's problem is that he's no longer allowed to get kills OR win lane. Flash farming ability there is just cope for not being able to do the first two. If farm helped Bane fix his problems, people would be playing him mid like the good ol' days.
>>557539439>OR win laneJust max enfeeble and he wins every lane

>>557562571>now
>>557558315I think one of the reasons the mid and late game in dota is so boring is because of this. everybody is scared to show on a wave, but the second somebody shows on a wave 5 people instantly collapse on them. except your team is never in a position to counter gank or take the tower on the opposite side of the map.

>>557565074...bweh? I dunno? What do you mean?
>>557565389Why are their names the hero names instead of the player names?
dead game
>>557565671Umm well in my very first match of dota 2 (4 months ago! time flies!) I played against a player named "dota rapist" and he said some very not-nice things to me as he killed me fourteen times so I went into the settings and hid all communications so I can't see player chats or pings or voicelines. that probably has something to do with it. maybe. idk. don't blame me, blame "dota rapist"
>>557566195are you sure it wasn't dota therapist
on a five game lose streak
>>557566195>I played against a player named "dota rapist" and he said some very not-nice things to me as he killed me fourteen timesincredible amounts of aura
>>557566195lmfaoooo
>>557566195But anon if you can't see when your team communicates with you you can't follow calls and help them
>play Deadlock>feel compelled to make a build and follow it to a T>play Dota>don't use a build even though I follow d2pt/dotabuff meta and buy the same items in the same order and level the same skills in the same order every gamewhat causes this?
if Viper is designed to walk into lane and instantly remove the enemy laner from the game for the first 10-20 minutes by existing why does he go mid instead of offlane
>>557567748he definitely has and does go offlane, but he doesn't belong there because he's not a stunbot, he does not blink in and disable two enemy gamers so his worthless teammates can clean them up
>>557567748viper mid only needs to win maybe one trade ever before he starts spiraling and thats not hard to do at all. hes an anti-carry like razor, just not quite as shit
Does Dark Seer offlane do anything really? Is he comp specific I feel like he can only be utilized around a team who knows how he works. He's fun but the games I've played with him I've either fallen off or only really been able to be like a third support towards the end rather than a core. I saw he has 100% WR in the Blast Slam but in replays I don't really see him doing shit but having one of the highest gold values. Trolled my skywrath once by accident by normal punching out of his R
>>557567748he does, but he doesn't tank as well as a real strength stun offlaner.
>>557567130Yeaaaaah, I know. My skin is probably too thin to play this game in the long-term. I should probably just not touch the Ranked mode ever.
>>557563306I doubt that, he seems more miserable than the average wagie.He probably can't even enjoy playing vidya on his free time as it's his "job"
>>557568464You set sail for fail.
I think I'm just gonna uninstallLaning is the only remotely fun part of the game
>>557568898What does that mean?
>Play Dazzle for the first time since the rework >Get rekt in lane >Our Gyrocopter 1v5s their team >We win siiiiiiiiiiiick >>557310983>Completely changes one of the funniest facets ever >Doesn't even change the name of it >Refuses to elaborate >Leaves Why yes, I am talking about plague carrier
>>557310983>removes the most fun and unique hero in the game>replaces him with garbage>removes the garbage and replaces it with even worse garbageEver since they removed thee Real Techies no fun is allowed.
>engage on enemy>teleports away>to regroup with an ally and come back to gank me>all without chatthis is so fucking retarded
>>557566195thats epicbro
dw bros patch day is tuesday valentines day event soon

>>557572349cant be done by valveits a community thing
Why do heroes just shout the name of the item you buy like a barking dog instead of actually saying anything about it
sunday night and theres NO ONE to watch dotards
If I'm offlane am I supposed to go behind the enemy tower to clear the waveI played against an Axe who would do this and was just untouchably strong the entire game but I know for a fact that if I did this I'd get dove by 3 people and die or lose half my health to creeps and then get killed 2v1

>>557569991dumb nigger
who do i play if i want to play pos 1 but can't because nobody ever picks a real support, tries to steal all my last hits, and we never have any tank or cc because everyone else wants to pick random carries in every role?
Convince me that Invoker Exort isn't the best facet he hasI am willing to be convinced otherwise
>>557574312Luna glaive max and jungle
>>557574456Invoker only exists to cast cataclysm and midas
>>557575020But Meteor is his best spell
>>557575074meat midas with no practical application outside of farming
Luna max jiggle...
>player feeds uncontrollably>1-15-5>flames you for not feeding uncontrollably>1-3-5what causes this behavior?
>>557575020>midaseuls is still the build even a decade later. i legitimately cannot remember the last time i got midas. total honeypott. 1k games on invoker, 60+% wr
how are you supposed to lane mid these days? I get flamed for pushing mid while my team gets TP'd on in the side lane when diving towers.
>>557576509the mid does not concern himself with sidelaners
>>557576337>eulsBruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this ain't itAtos enables meteor ss blast (so does euls) but your teammates can actually contribute tooAnd it builds into gleipnir with the triple meteor which gives you a shitton of extra damage due to overlapping meteors with the dmg bonus and you can 'euls' the entire enemy team
>>557576908you get both thougheverbeit
>>557577393>bkb>refresher>octarine>bots>scythe>gleipWhat am I giving up sir (i ate aghs)
>>557577585if you havent won by 40 with invo then im sorry m8
>>557578315invoker is good late
>>557579042but even better when you can shit out better numbers than 95% of the cast pre-bkb
>>557576509you need to gank the sidelanes, tp to help and ward when you're moving between the lanes
>>557578315I'm playing Turbo
>>557580156my deepest sympathies
the techies pig squeal after he jumps makes my day every timewhoever designed that -10/10, *chef's kiss*
>>557580325It's gotten so bad I don't know how to lane or play the early game I just wait until atos and then roam and get a gazillion gold and xp no matter if I got 0 last hits or not
DOTA IS SHIT AND HERE'S WHY:https://youtu.be/ulhAlQIeHngITS BECAUSE YOU ARENT ALWAYS PUSHING
>>557574851>pick this>our huskar goes 8 and 0 in 10 minutes>enemy snapfire dc's>I am 8 levels up and still get instakilled by 3 people because I poked my head out for a moment sieging high groundthis game fucking sucks man
FACELESS VOD UNTAPPED META. GET IT WHILE ITS HOT DIFFUSAL PROCS AGAIN WITH TIME LOCK
>>557580576His ideal comp?>lycan>natures>tinker>chen>clinkz
>>557580576reason #6090 Deadlock is better than Dota.
anyone remember way back in the day the ember sleight of fist chains build? like 2013, singsing discovered it and you would rush battlefuries and crits. maybe deso. could get triple kills and solo carry games with one well placed SOF. I gained like 1kmmr spamming him and would go 20-2
>>557584061someone post the graph
Luna's so fucking pretty bros...
>>557584892This but Marci...
starting to get tired of spamming turbo again
>>557586548marci is cute, not beautiful
i miss tinker
i don't
>>557581034Yes, anon, we know that. It's a second auto-attack. It's proccing twice because you are hitting him twice.
Thoughts on saltwater shiv?
>>557588194I think the only thing keeping Slark from having Pudge or Shadowfiend levels of players is his ancient garbage model and 0 good cosmetics to hide it
>>557587892UH, "WE ALL KNOW THAT" YET DIFFUSAL DOES THE MOST DAMAGE YET ITS NEVER BUILT ON FACELESS VOIDYOU MEAN ITS NOT SURFACE META, LIKE I SAIDNOW STFU FAGGOT
played with you faggots once and you were insufferableplus there were literal transthough that wasn't as bad as the fag who tried to harass me because i was not in the cliquerope nigger
trans girls add me pls
Name something more pathetic than a PL with a Diffusal Blade and no Khanda trying to wail on a Tidehunter with a Heart.
how the fuck do I stop getting shit on in lane?it feels like I'm doing everything the immortal draft streamers are doing, but it's like their cs is way less contested even when all 4 people are in lane.
>>557588851Ironic you mention Pudge. Being ugly is obviously, literally, not a factor.
>>557594308Stop picking shit heroes? You're getting shit on because the enemy laners know they can slap you in the face and you can't clap back.
>rage off mic>in-game say nothing or only something positiveThis is how it should be.
when are they removing shield rune
Invoker is so fucking brainlessdurr cataclysm/emp durr meteor blast refreshhighest dmg in the gamet. invoker spammer
>>557592405silencer in lane vs any dispel
>>557596149That's because you're using Exort Invoker, Quas Invo is good for chilling.
>>557597349Now the question is, QW or QE and get W at level 10
>>557584061i dont know exactly when this stopped being the way to play him. its interesting seeing people now are buying spirit vessel/veil and no damage whatsoever.not that its bad but it is annoying that he cant be balanced to do magic/phys as good as each other, one playstyle is just always superior to the other
>>557310983i miss the dragon knight pre-facet/innateaghs manta octarine silver edge, his illusions had splash and applied the building DoT and were practically unkillable. you pretty much always had dragon form and huge uptime on illusions and just push waves in and screw buildings up, and just windwalked around with free pathingit was sleeper broken but im honestly so pissed i will never play a single game of that again
topson is playing deadlockits over dotards
>>557567748I played Viper mid when my team needed a break and he feels kinda shit after the laning stage.
Is Bloodstone dead as an item?
>>557599712Undoubtedly.
>>557598987His unc brain gave up already
>>557603349deadlock just looks boring
>>557604385>>557604385>>557604385
>>557594486Pudge has a ton of skins and has a quality, well-animated model as opposed to Slark's blocky ps2 face and body
