How do you guys cope with time flying by and getting older? I started playing this game in college in 2012 with buddies, now they're all gone. It's halfway through 2026 now. Sometimes I just stare in the mirror and wonder where everything went. I can post this here because it's 4chan and we're all losers.

>>572195007>How do you guys cope with time flying by and getting older?I FUCKING DONTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>572195007get swole. even mason figured that out.
>>572195323did you wonnered?
>>572195007heheh. i was like 14 in 2012. you're so OLD
>>572195749nah, i lost a game. but even if i won it, i'd still only be at 1985 mmr or near abouts.
>>572195323>that comm score
sex with hoodwink
>>572196575
>>572195749why even talk to that pedo?
>>572196867i absolutely LOVE how you keep saying that and you're unironically posting on epstein's website.
>>572196575this
What do you think hoodwink smells like?
>>572197667Chlorophyll
>>572197667Hazelnuts and sex
80% of the problems in this game are nobody willing to go in first.the other 20% are people not following up when somebody goes in.

Kill hoodwink niggers die die niggers die
ok I think my problem with micro is I have scoreboard set to tab so I can't filter through my units when I have a group selected. I need to change this immediately.I forget what my scoreboard button used to be though... maybe I need a new selection cycle button instead...
what kind of retarded bullshit is this?where do I see the leaderboard?
>>572199563i havent had scoreboard set to tab in like a decade. use ~
Good day of dota. I sleep.
>>572204029good night sleep tight :)
>>572194576Sorry, can you get the other redhead slut please?
Comm score is inherently tied to winning, because people are less likely to rage report everyone at the end of the match after a win.So even if you keep chatting to a minimum, but are losing you will not gain score.I've been hard stuck in 6-8k score where it fluctuates based on my game results. Week with a lot of losses? I lose 500 score. Week with many wins? I get 100 back for the same amount played.
Funny that dotards think an official 6.84 client wouldn't instantly get half a million concurrent players
>>572206208It wouldn't even get 5k players.
I tried to play deadlock but it literally doesn't support linux despite all of this company's hardware being linux based. Good to know the Deadlock team is as fucking braindead as the Campo Santofag Dota 2 team.Dead company.
>>572207393i tried to like deadlock but the HOLY EPIN MOBILITY OUT OF THE ASS SO FUN TO CHASE SOME FUCKING NIGGER THAT CAN FLY ACROSS THE MAP IN 2 SECONDS gameplay really loses me desu
>>572207579I don't know bro. I can't even see the fucking title screen despite my hardware supporting 10,000+ Steam games because these fucking dumbfucks made the target platform some winfag shit and it doesn't even launch on proton.
>>572206208It'd split the current player base. The people who like Classic like the WC3 version, and that's what they're already playing. Why would they switch?
>>572207652you're really not losing out on much it's really just dota with mechanics that belong in a singleplayer game and a shittier perspective
>>572207719I was hoping it was Overwatch/ModernTF2, but good. But like the whole, "linux hardware company makes windows the test platform for their hot new game and it barely works on linux even with the compatability layer." turned me off so much I'm probably never actually trying this shit.I have a Windows 10 boot with Steam, but it's 2026 and these retards are releasing a linux PC in less than a month, fuck these idiots, this is Microsoft level bullshit.
>>572207876maintaining the 50 yachts takes time bro, please understand
>>572207661there are absolutely people who quit dota because they didn't like changes don't kid yourself
Fag whining about deadlock not working here. I would pay $200 dollars for Dota 6.83, 6.84, or 6.85 as a permanent version.I have never played Dota 1 or WC3.
It is hell playing this game on a new account. I cant imagine someone trying to get into this game who hasnt played before. Playing with my friend who used to play more, he can't login to his old account so he made a new one. I guess behavior score starts at 8k or something, im 12k but even after like 50 games partying with him these are still some of the most annoying teammates I've ever experienced. People tilt occasionally when I solo queue, but there's still almost always unwritten rules that people follow like selecting lane at start, rolling if you want the same role, even if someone locks your role people still tend to pick around it to fill other roles. That shit rarely happens in games on his account. It even seems like when I queue solo or with some1 with more than 100 games it sticks the perus and spics on the other team which is actually pretty fun. Is it really just the amount of games played or is it the behavior score that skews this so much
>reddit is mad as fuck over co-op farmingKek, dont care, gonna keep doing it. Suffer in your turbocuck games
>>572207719If dota had half the dogshit mechanics deadlock has like backpedaling movement shooter tech and attack parries I'd break my keyboard in half and curse out an entire thesaurus at the dev team. Dogshit game has dug its own grave, the movement shooter hole is fundamentally incompatible with strategy since it adds way too much chaotic variance when a strategy needs stability, readability and predictability.
>>572213264that's what im sayingit feels like a singleplayer game that got reworked into a shitty dota clone
I get so tilted when I get a useless pos 4. Last game, I get a Zeus who spammed his skills at lvl 1 and ran out of mana immediately. I can't lasthit vs 2 range and Zeus just stands back. We lose the tower 5 minutes in, then he starts flaming(I mute him) and fucks off to other lanes. Buys a shard at min 15 and never leaves the jungle while we somehow win the game because they threw any early advantage they had. Zeus doesn't show up in any fight, just uses his globals on cooldown. Never bought a single ward or smoke.How is this not considered straight up griefing?

>>572195007>How do you guys cope with time flying by and getting older?Ignore it jackass. You can't stop yourself from getting old.>I can post this here because it's 4chan and we're all losers.Getting older and playing Dota doesn't make you a loser. Let nobody ever tell you the way you lived your life is wrong, normalfags LOVE to do that to others because they themselves are trying really hard to cope with their own incredibly average lives.
Everyone stopped caring about the event already
wat a brool
Puck has been OP for so long why aren't they nerfing the hero
>>572222238its shit in pubs
>>572222558Not true everytime I've seen them in pubs they always own

Guys I think we should buff*Spins roulette wheel*Tinker
>>572209640I dunno but from my personal experience nobody fucking /roll for their roles and its all a free for all everyone for themselves.
>>572209640>started playing this year with a friend who has 11k hours>learned the game mostly on turbo before moving on to all pick>somehow the turbo pool has better and more civil players than classicits actually baffling, i had so many ragers and tri lanes ruining my lobbies that i just hopped back into turbo until i could play ranked
>>572226543it's because laning doesnt really matter in turbo
>>572203560~ is for player target toggle, which I also never use, but tab is scoreboard in every other game I play.eh, scoreboard is only good for muting people, and tab is unit cycle in rts so maybe I should put it back...
>>572226543turbo is the fun mode it has the lower stakes so the lower the stakes the less tilted people are
>>572207393'orks on 'eck. sounds like a skill issue.>>572207579you are not high enough rank to even have this as a valid concern.
>>572216301did you report him?
>>572227875you're not enough of a man to tell me what is a concern or not you sewer rat jew
>>572226543lots of people who aged out of the game still dabble in turbo and it's generally taken less seriously.most of my friends list if they ever login are unranked and turbo party queue enjoyers.
>>572227853>lower stakesmmr is just a number
>>572228352clearly not to everybody judging by the behavior of some in ranked
>>572228071you're crashing out over watching streamers play a game.
>>572228476what the fuck are you even talking about you schizo retardstop assuming thingsor projectingor whatever you're trying to do
>>572228556post statlocker, because even in Ascendant people still don't know schmovement.
>>572228757yeah ok bro i'll post itjust wait
why chaos knight so shit, these ilusions suck
virtus.choke
>>572230561complete supp diffall of their smoke moves were read by wards
nice to see fly lose
>>572230721That's always nice after what he did to notail
gorgc says his team was 5-1 in scrims vs the team that just qualified to ti....
>>572231389didn't shartc's team also lose 2-0?makes you think about his words
>Play Alchemist with randoms >Team takes bounty runes >Lane partner takes my last hits >Start jungling >ALCH WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU NEED TO SUPPORT ME IN LANE >man fuck this shit, I'll play Alchemist when my homies are on >Play Alchemist with homies >They do the same thing, even with voice chat >"yo you're buying me a scepter tho right?" I am going insane
>>572228063Yes, no action taken notification yet. There's so many pos 4 griefers that I don't bother checking. Last game as pos 3, my tusk 4 kept pinging my items and buying mantles to put in my inventory after he left the lane to "roam". Built dagger, eul and ac.
fly and 33 are our guys
>>572232584kaya yasha sange, tal
so all 3 teams that have qualified through eu so far are russian... and it might be all 4 if nigma fucks upwhat went wrong?
>game starts>viper puts earth spirit at 1hp at level 0 before creeps spawnwhat a shit draft.
>>572231389Lol come on now we bragging about practice now
>>572234212they're the only region that cares about dota and nigma will most assuredly fuck up
>>572235315I need to start playing Doom again. haven't touched him in like a decade.
BULBA THOUGH
Is team spirit junior going to beat nigma
>>572236570easy for sugod
we is getting a new hero this year right?
>>572237189Probably during the event same for a gameplay patch
Lmao why did they let lone go you legit can't beat that hero
>>572238624completely unbeatable
>>572238810Sadly that isn't pro dota
Is this right
lol how the hell did this happen?
>>572239493got shard from tormentor when shard was also on his courier heading towards him
Davai is really underrated
>>572221197it's a shitty event, we should have a Matci event
>>572240887*Marci
>>572237189Probably after the event my dear ESL friend.
>LGD picked cheap SA shitters.LMAO
is buying the 10x store coins in the candyworks worth it?
caster cursed the viper
>>572242606usually, since you can then instantly get more free candy/rolls from the store with it
Shigetsu is nasty with it damn
no way nigma also loses to some random russian t2 team
If yellow didn't give away lone this might have been a sweep
2 masterclass games from Shigetsu
play alch like a chad carry= winbe an aghscuck merchant = lose
Nigma needs to lock in can't get beat by these hungry lions
>sniper vs spectreoh no
thoughts on clussy?
>>572249502based
players who have dota/wc3 profile pictures are always dogshit
>>572251932I've been saying this for years, WC3 icon pfp players are like the third worst kind in the entire game
2010s anime pfps are even worse. if I see a tokyo ghoul profile pic its game over.
>nigga
Is it me or the servers are shitting themselves? Can't watch any games in-game.
Yes I love collecting hats and make my characters look fabulous
>>572251217the wings are really ugly
why did venture capital leave esports? we used to have a golden age.
>get shit on all game>mute up and cope while seething silently>managed to stall game long enough to come backget fucked ff15 babs.
>>572254267unironically AI
Nigga is doing it
mid is the most frequent role granted to me when I queue for all 5 roles. I do not like this.
>"dehydrated" as pause excusehow the fuck is this okay?
NIGMA AT TI LET'S GO
easy for us
we did it, chat
you now remember M1racle-
sumail could win it again
>>572256521good job lil gup :)
>>572252408I rlly don't know what causes this, since they know a bit about the wc3 era you'd think they're uncs who are well tenured. total opposite
>>572256521Nigma recruit this guy!
>pedo has to samefag YIKES!
>can't say 1k mmr pedo anymoreworth
i know ur sending the win streak forced 50/50 assassins at me gabe but u need to do better, the russian 3/27 sf teammate offlane with meepo wasnt enough. u need to try harderone more win and I beat my highest win streak. ur move, valve
>>572255916part of the game use tactical pauses to your advantage not the first time it been done
WE WON
>stuck in confirming match infinitelyanyone has the bug?
>>572268241I have the bug where my team does literally nothing, like 9k damage legion commanders in 50 minutes.
>>572231389*sharts*
>>572251217>>572253269Can you just not wear the wings? Is it a full set only? What happened to bits and pieces cosmetics in Dota where you could mix and match as much as you wanted?
>>572256536I remember how much I want to fuck drow as windranger
>>572269465yeah, you don't have to wear the wingsi might just use default wings
Man you play 1400 hours of a game and then come back to it after ten years and it's more of an alien landscape then when you started... and all that knowhow is either unremembered or obsolete.Anyways, I was sifting through my scrambled and half-recorded stats and noticed I had a 77% win rate with Abaddon. I VAGUELY remember I was doing some wacky carry build that revolved around the Curse of Avernus attack speed buildup and the passive procs on... some items. My custom guide(s) has apparently disappeared into the void and I have no idea which items in particular were used or if it's even possible to do anymore, was hoping somebody could maybe clue me in on what I could possibly have been done before I tank the win rate trying stuff out. Maybe MKB or whatever proced stuns, I dunno.Think I'll just support Lich for a bit until I have my confidence back.>>572220247Wise man.
>>572270976are you the CARRY abaddon poster from back in the day
>>572271848I've never posted here before. If I had I'd probably have spammed about the stupid shit I tried with Puck.
I haven’t played Dota since a really bad string of games on Christmas Eve but watching SumaiL crush niggers today makes me want to reinstall badly.
>>572270976What's with old players returning to the game lately?I hadn't touched Dota in 9 years myself until less than a month ago. I felt the same as you do.
>>572275490Modern gaming is pretty much freefall collapsing atm and everyone is looking backwards for their vidya.Plus it's not like anybody is making new mobas so if people are feeling nostalgic for them it's either going back to this or HotS or LoLcow.
>>572275490For me it's that Deadlock sucks right now and hasn't been updated in forever. I've been wanting to get back into Dota for a while but Deadlock has been eating up a lot of my time.Dark Carnival hit at the perfect time. I kinda did the same thing for Crownfall and 100% that event so I'll probably do the same here.I'm also secretly a huge faggot who loves lore in games, even Dota's, so I play the event for the lore. I love just basic shit like Hoodwink/LC/Slark talking to each other.
>Safe lane picks 2 supports>They feed hard and lose early game>Come late game>Game long lost but it dragged to 50 minutes because this is herald>Feeder Lion slowly dying to DoT>Other support pings Mekanism>ohhellno.jpg>Teleport in nearby and deny him before they can save himGOD these 50 grueling minutes were ALL worth it because of this single fucking moment. Fuck these nigger faggots go die in a pit.
>>572276730Yep, everything is dogshit now. Games suck. I have been playing dawn of war 1 and 2 from pre 2010, dayz, the dead space games, and halo. Even some left 4 dead 1 and 2. I have no idea what happened, I guess there's no original ideas anymore. Seems like everything has been done.
>>572270137It's unavoidable. Every time enemy picks drow into my WR I make it my entire game's mission to fill her up with javelins, ward her camps and make her game a horror jumpscare experience
IF YOU ONLY HAVE 300 FUCKING GAMES AND ARE PICKING A HERO YOU'vE NEVER PLAYED BEFOREFOLLOWTHEFUCKINGGUIDE
>>572277034This and the Faceless throw will forever be my fav dota gifs.
>>572275490I was struggling for years with drug & alcohol addiction and dota helps me stay off the liquor jewFunny cause playing dota on stimulants was really fun, but I'll never go back. It could kill me and if I die I won't be able to see girl mecha pugna release
so hows the event?worth going back to play it or just garbo? (i liked crownfall, dont really love circus stuff)
>>572280080its clownfall
>>572280080Hoodwink, Tresdin, and Slark are the main characters and it's fully voiced.
>>572279635>Faceless throwThe one where he ults his team and the enemy ancient during a base rush and causes themselves to lose?PLEASE post that again I've been dying to see that again for so long.
Can you store more than 10 discount coins at a time? If yes, can you use twenty to get the secret rooms pack for free?

>Loli pugna becomes real>its a highly stylized automaton and not actually a little girl yay or nay?
>>572286687Loli Pugna is Bex
My friend only wants to play vs bots. We win every single time and it's boring as fuck. I don't get it, dota is a pvp game.
>>572284963Bex is there to be turned into an automaton and nothing more.
>>572286447Yeah that's the one alright. Absolute peak dota moment
>>572208063So?
this event is trash because ringmaster is made for autistic niggers.

>>572293419hes losing mmr spamming carry for a reason
>>572286447
>install game after 12 years to relive some nostalgia>Game is just a shadow of its former selfHoly shit it's bad. The only thing that has any resemblance to 6.7x dota is the hero names. Not even the hero models look the same thanks to all the weird cosmetics.Why are lanes so short and pushed so close together? You can move between lanes in 4 seconds. There is even a fucking tp spot to move between top and bottom.What the fuck happened?I even tried installing the wc3 version but the wc3 community is also playing some Frankenstein backported dota 2 maps it seems.
>>572294661its time for him to switch to support carry is not for uncs
>>572297414you're a retard. the map is much larger than original dota.
>>572297590>lets add big rivers and neutral spots at the edge of the map so we can say it's bigger than before :DD
>>572297414ok unc
>>572297414The game got better.
>>572270137sauce?
>>572298007making the lanes longer would be dumb
>>572298007>making the map bigger doesnt actually make it bigger
Mireska has arrived!

why is the audience for dota streams hatewatchers?
>>572304235have you seen the community lol
>>572304616it should be a bunch of chilled out boomers not a bunch of edgy preteens.
>>572221197I'm enjoying it well enough. Story is kind of shit, but I'll take any new Slark dialogue I can get. The card system is also a good way to let me progress the event even if I get a lose streak or something.
havent played in years and some friends are finally dragging me back, what did the fuck di they do to techies
>>572307423Made him viable since he was pretty bad for a while
>>572307575this isnt my techies, why do the chinese have to ruin everything, does he even play remotely the same
>>572255916World cup provided a new excuse for all these retard.
>>572286687Do you think we'll get more automatons? I doubt it.
>>572308056weren't more automaton persona already hinted at by datamined code? including pugna?
>>572308380If so, it would be fun
>>572308056there will be at least one more
>>572307423he's not the same hero anymore, its not techies.
>>572286447>>572297969Why are Void players like this
>>572267803man how? i tried like two dozen times but how is it even possible to win if you keep getting only offered shit players?
>first game since like 2022>some russian solo wins on Zeus building some right clicking buildI don't understand this game anymore, why does Zeus even have a jump now lolI missed this game though, feels good to play
>>572307423They made him a team fighter with zone control in the mines. He can't one shot people by putting a bunch of mines on a high ground. He is waaaay healthier for the game as a whole. Someone picking Techies isn't a troll anymore with a slim chance they knew wtf they're doing. It's been a while since I've seen a troll techies that just buys clarities and tries to mine the whole map.
>>572314432they made the Mario meme real
it's crazy how much harder this game is than deadlock
>>572315953It's random.Dota is way easier for me and one of my friends. For two others Deadlock is way easier and they can't understand Dota at all.

>>572288886so you're a nigger :D
>>572195007It sucks, yes. Just want to die as soong as possible.
what goes up, must come down.I have had 0 chance to win any of these losses also. teams filled with literal bots that can't even break 10k damage on cores and who play to afk farm just to lose.
>>572321845Its happening the same in this rigged piece of shit game...it will be the same with deadlock or whatever is called since its developed by valvesteam, which means it will be the same garbage.
>>572322351I already have matches in deadlock that I have 0 impact over the outcome of, so I'm playing it less already. I blame that game's poor matchmaking quality on low player count though.
>>572322351it will be the exact same, start alerting fellow players to not play deadlogofshit, developed by valvesteam
>play multiplayer game>wtf why aren't matches completely in my controlSamefagretard
>be valvesteam>lose players non stop due to rigged games>rig them even harder>gama start falling apart>shill new game for milk players with the same rigging>it will work this time if we shill it enoughGHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>572324478>muh rat pussy>they will play the game if we furry it enough and spam the rat pussyWew lad, valvesteam is not sending their best.
>>572322823>play multiplayer game>Don't play high test hyper high impact MICROBVLL hero because I'm a hardstuck shitter>wtf why aren't matches completely in my controlFixed that one for you.If you firmly believe you just "are better than everyone else in your lobby" you should be able to pick brood and rax the enemy team by minute 20 or pick LD and have a 10k-20k NW advantage or even pick fucking visage and go 10/0/20 or similar and just rax by minute 20.>b-b-buh!Nope, if you can't pick brood and go into a rape streak where you rax at min 20 and GG at 30, you literally are where you belong.
>>572322823another disingenuous misinterpretation being displayed in such a low test manner that you make up quotes without even replying to a post.

You had a chance.
>>572325842contradicting yourself in the same post.
>>572325018
>>572325829You don't need a 100% WR to get to immortal, you missed the point, and thus, you have low IQ.
>>572325984Nothing of what I said was mutually exclusiveWhy?Because both the faggots I quoted (i.e. (You) and (You)) are disingenuous hyperbolic niggers, who think they're entitled to free wins and that all games should be within their control
>>572326140then what was your point?
>>572326157you said that you don't have a choice in the outcome but you also have a choice in the outcome though.
>>572326568No, I just attacked the positions of two retards who believe they can have 100% choice in the outcome and 0% choice in the outcome, respectively
>>572326624and you don't see the contradiction...?
>>572326917>uhm sweatie you just called out two retards with mutually exclusive but equally retarded viewpoints>don't you see any contradiction??No, but I'm starting to get curious to hear what you think the contradiction is now
>>572327081if no game is unwinnable then you could have 100% win rate.if you can't have 100% win rate then some games are unwinnable.
why cant i reset the candy works???
how the fuck do I play Treant Protector? every time I try I'm worthless.
>>572327343No, anon. Just because I'm saying no game is inherently unwinnable doesn't mean I'm saying you're able to win every game.Saying your anticipated win probability in any given game is never 0% does not mean that I think you can win 100% of all games. Assuming you're a regular player and not some faggot trying to gotcha me with "well i played only one game and i won it so i have a 100% winrate :^))))", of course.In a similar but opposite manner, saying you cannot win 100% of games does not mean every player in the game inherently has 0% ability to influence the game's outcome.A game doesn't have to be 'unwinnable' for you to have a lower chance of winning it. There's an extreme amount of factors in play in any given match, as I'm sure you're well aware. It's not always just black and white.

>>572338069no. he is garbage.He is extemely strong in low skill pubs however
Is there a better feeling dotards?
>>572339535I need to start playing the event but I'm spending too much time on Morrowind... I think I'm just gonna do turbo games.
>>572339612>too much time on MorrowindFUCKING BASEDPost your modlist! Are you a purist or more of a total overhaul type of guy?
>>572340087I haven't touched the game in nearly 10 years, I just downloaded OpenMW and I'm not using mods. The only thing I wish I did was download something to overhaul stealth because it's borderline impossible to use it in quests that require it unless you pay 5 million gold to trainers or you level up Illusion.
>>572340295Try the "Enhanced Vanilla" from modding-openw . com or somethingIt's pretty EZPZ and it does SO MUCH, and preserves the original feel of the game Look @ what is possible! https://youtu.be/Nx4UpdRU5j8

>have to play offlane to get strength ticketsfuck man
the in game winrate trend per hero is funny to look at sometimes. For example Clinkz has 53 & 52% WR in Ancient & Divine but sits around 48% in every bracket from Herald to Legend. Wonder what causes this
sorry dotards but im not coming back13k hours was enough for me
>>572348883Low MMR people don't know how to end games early. Clinkz is somewhat of a snowball hero, you really just want to fight and push and push even more in the midgame while the lower rank players might go "me carry me farm ooga booga" and then lose to a better late game carry. Also, squishy hero.
>>572350816But Clinkz scales really well with his 25 + 6 items
>75% rank confidence>Lose>-31 MMR
>Ping my teammate's death timer>he instantly adds me on steam
>>572348883clinkz isnt the great lanerin lower mmr the team that is ahead will be a solid 5 most the time making pick offs difficulttl:drlose lane lose game hero in low mmr
>biggest event ever>thread is not even active this is our jungle inferno, then
>>572357014the event is already 4 days old

>>572357014Crownfall was bigger (and better), like really who gives a shit about Hoodwink and clowns
>>572357354Hoodwink is the main character of Dota
>>572357620Must be why it's dead
>>572357014clownfall is a test for deadlock's VN system, that's why it has the budget for full voice acting
>have almost an entire page of wins consecutively>3 days since I played my last gameI just know I'm going to lose bros, I'm trying to avoid the loss streak but it'll be coming no matter what happens eventually.

>>572357014clownfall is a test for Hoodwink sex VN system, that's why it has the budget for full voice actingif it's successful Valve will put out a Hoodwink VN series to surpass the entire Japanese VN industry.
>>572360810it must have failed then lol
>>572357014I just lurk because none of the posters are worth talking to. 99% of them are just low bs/cs subhuman schizos of varying MMR. Last time I saw a nice person who posted about gameplay was last year.

>>572360810Hoodwink is getting added to Deadlock, it's what the Oracle side story is leading up to

she cute
>>572372869I have to assume they want to get their events done. But I've never seen so many draft dodging smurfs this patch. I hope they get forced to the front lines of the war immediately.

A hop, skip and a grub
>>572379407Jigglin
>>572379206I'm surprised this mouth breathing matchstick can track anything at all by the level of sapience this webm is showing
>>572365912valve is so cooked now that they can't tell this game will never have the appeal dota or CS did. to use a classic food analogy, deadlock is the equivalent of an amateur chef going>"both burgers and blueberry ice cream taste good, so why don't i just make blueberry milk burgers???"like somehow it doesn't occur to them that mobaburgers and shooterberries don't mix very well. i think if they still employed their old head chef called robin walker, he would yeet that abomination of a dish out the window like gordon ramsay. really, it is telling that the only people that can enjoy such an aberration are third worlders, because their tastes aren't refined and they are used to consuming fucked up shit (ie. soul food)
>grubby still living rent free on his haterstruly the greatest dotard to ever live
>>572379667honestly Valve should've made TF3 if they really wanted a mobility shooter so much

>>572379667The real problem is them letting icetard make his dream game instead of chaining him to dota, because as we can all see he is not the epic genius people seem to think he is

>>572380483ahh right my short term memory sucks I already forgot you mentioning it
>>572379927Decent
>>572380203>Validating FilesIt's going through every byte of your Dota 2 installation to ensure it's not corrupted. It's going to scan all 50 GB or whatever the fuck the size is.>Disk Usage: 1.6 MbpsThat's like 200KB/s. wtf kind of slow-ass hard drive + CPU do you have to have such a low throughput? Bro, even 1 GB will take like 5x1,024 = 5,120 seconds which is like 80 hours. Would you have even be able to play in the first place with a toaster like that?
>>572379047It's his team's fault that he lost!
>>572379941its kinda the same story as with blizzard and overwatch. they put the "wow raid content" guy in charge so he made a shooter with MMO style tank/healer/dps mechanics and spent gazillions trying and failing to make a PVE shooter out of it. of course if you give a monkey a keyboard, hes going to try to crack open nuts with it
>>572380754>80 hoursAhh I'm retarded. It's 80 minutes per GB not 80 hours.Your computer's still a potato.
What's up with Valve making these DotA themed classic games in their events that are so fucking tedious but at the same time the tokens are worth it to spend the time fucking with the fps cap and getting your hands on them? Yes I am talking about the boot minigame.
what if we had this but for dota?
>>572381207Skill issueI played the arcanoid on 144 fps and enjoyed it
>>572381536america is deadweight
>>572379667but Deadlock is great and I am a straight White male from the USA.
>>572380754It's alright my drive made it past the hats.
>>572381536DotA's popularity skyrockets. Valve should do this and for CS as well.>>572381576>the arcanoidThe what?
>>572381745>people think that this visual diarrhea looks good
>>572378275Nah, I gave up that grind in 2017. My enjoyment went up significantly after giving up the -/+25. But, maybe you're right. It's hard to know WTF is going on when my mmr is hidden. >>572378391Some days I go on a bad loss streaks like 5 games of losses. I get one shitter game where I pop off 18-1-18 and I'm back in the sweat city.
>>572382147show me a dota fight with 6 ults+combos going off.
>>572382493that still looks more readable from a top down perspective than getting your entire screen covered in clown vomit up close and personal
>>572381745maybe im getting old but i cant tell a single thing going on in that>>572381714Valve is an american company and dota is an american game. go get some air conditioning europoor
>>572382298If you don't care about the +/- 25 and haven't played ranked in 10 years you can enjoy the low mmr games you're in while you play a mega high skill ceiling hero that they probably have never seen anyone get more then 3 kills on
>>572381745>Deadlock is an amazing successor to DOTA >It's an amazing game. >I only have enough brain capacity for one autistic game

what the actual fuck dotards. why are you so buckbroken by Grubby of all retards?
grubby did not survive dota it wasnt the other way around
Grub comes
>>572385959Then it is 100% up your alley. I'm not that great at shooters. Best I did was climb diamond as Ana in Overwatch 1 in 2019. I definitely want to watch whenever they announced their TI.
>>572386719you can still excel as an aimlet. having aim does open up more of the roster and builds though.
grubby came in, proved you can climb mmr and get good at the game, and proved over a decade of whining about forced 50 is for low skill crybabies and shitters who can't improve.
>>572388665grubby got fucking carried in parties and only made it to like 5k
>>572388665all it took was a massive outreach from the pro/streaming community to coddle him

>>572392751youre not grubby ya ball gargler
>>572388665The truth nuke is that if you truly are higher MMR but the evil algo is handicapping you, you should be able to pick broodmother and absolutely dumpster every lobby until you get to your real MMR.Before you, my dear dunning kruger reader, starts to go full shitter melty remember: Hundreds of smurfs do this every day.
>>572394956grubby couldnt do that
rtz is going to be playing in the Dota cup soon
>I watched a man hit immortal playing support Anti-mage and Troll Warlord. >Anything can work if you have good fundamentals. That's the hardest pill to swallow. Meta can help you climb. But you'll fall once the meta changes. But good fundamentals. Meta can't nerf the fundamentals.
>>572357014The only people left playing this shit are third worlders who give no fucks about any of the effort Valve put in. It's why they move over to Deadlock.Why spend hundreds of man hours making something like Dark Carnival when your entire audience are all orcs who will just mash through the dialogue then cry and scream when they don't roll an arcana on the candy shop?You can just go over to the Deadlock team and work on something that will actually have people praising you for.Also this is partially Valve's fault too. They took 8 years to make Dota lore interesting with Artifact and then that went straight to hell, then another 6 years for Crownfall. By that point no one gave enough of a fuck about Dota lore to care about a full lore-based adventure event.Again, this is what Deadlock is fixing with those leaked visual novels.
>>572396212I am no one. I've been waiting for lore (and an invoker arcana) since 2013.
>>572396212doomshitting is so boring and incredibly low iq
>>572394956back in the day you could just pick heroes like TA, STORM, SF and some other pubstompers mid and solo win games. mid is neutered so yeah i guess brood and meepo still if u wanna climb
>>572396212honestly haven't had a brown person in my lobby since reaching Divine.but I am getting Russians now for some reason.I only queue USW/USE.
what's it mean when there's no hero portrait here?
>>572399481fell for it again
>>572396212Deadlock became fucking trash the moment it attracted hero shooter faggots. It was tolerable back in spring 2024 when it was hush hush project for valveheads but the moment they opened to streamers it was the end. I started /dlg/ and don't even touch it anymore.Not to mention they lost the plot with the setting and aesthetics halfway through. I won't be surprised if they retcon the setting altogether. The entire premise is a supernatural Cold War but they removed the Soviet Empire and have added zero (0) heroes representing foreign powers, just tumblr sexymen and forced egirl slop.No the Vatican doesn't count.
>>572400723wut
>>572400792They're adding Hoodwink next
>>572400910They have failed to add a sexy fairy despite my several suggestions on the forum and for this crime they deserve death.
>>572401080The fairy will be the femboy hero.
>>572401290keep your tranny fantasies out of my game
>>572401290I'm not saying Valve's offices should get McVeighed if they did that, but I wouldn't light a candle for them if it happens.
Imagine murderizing xibbe with barbed wire.
>>572396212Lol no one is playing deadlock that game competition is tf2 almost 2 decade old game
>>572402926its an alpha
>>572403525so was artifact
I wish i would've started HRT when I was like 12. Now I'm 29 and it's too late.
>>572404812its not too late to kaya yasha sange
>>572404502no artifact got a full paid release
>>572400910>>572401080>>572401290Mireska would be in the top 3 best characters for a Dota crossover and it isn't even the coomer in me judging it>mythological creature, not monster, not human in fantasy armor, can fit the aesthetics perfectly with a slight redesign>already written as fairly shady and seedy so can match Deadlock's safe edgy tone>has a believable reason to get involved (stealing the outer gods' shit)
Would Draven work in Dota? For those that have never played LOL he throws his axes they bounce off the target they hit and he catches them by moving to where they will fall. Maybe dota's move speed is too slow for this.
do we smelt it?
>>572406641I think that only works because there's no turn speed in lol.
I snapped and ran down mid for the first time after playing dota for a decade. I'm sorry dotards I feel dirty now and I want to apologize.
>>572407492I wanna do this all the time, but I'm such a coward. I'll just go top or bottom jungle and farm until the other team ends.
I don't like the new CM set. I'll keep using my Eul's + stuff.
>>572406641Too many stuns and slows in this game to make it viable, unless it's overtuned to the point where the juggling is for show.
>>572407492it's a part of being a dota player and part of the game.
>>572407492It's ok, it's like masturbating to trannies. Everyone, even your dad, did it once.
>>572407945What about a passive "Magic Immune while axes are in the air"?? Totally balanced.
>>572407932im using the dog :)
>>572409375The dog is using CM too :)
>>572409375>>572409470that "dog" is an extremely ancient and wise glacier spirit, be more respectful faggots
I've actually talked to girls that have had sex with dogs. "dog-pilled". couldn't fucking believe it. Bet if I said that they would call me a creep.

I played a game of dota today
>>572415937kys
>>572415969I will not
>rusnig gets mad>ur mom dead ))What the fuck kind of a retarded third worlder "insult" is this? What does it even mean, how is it even an insult? At least "I fuck ur mom" or "ur mom is whore" resembles an insult, "ur mom dead" is nothing. Jesus fucking christ I hate these fucking subhumans so much.
>>572416301>What the fuck kind of a retarded third worlder "insult" is this?obviously an effective one if it rustled your jimmies so muchalso capitalize the C in Christ
>>572416826I'm not jewish so no, also I'm more insulted by the fact that someone would think "ur mom dead" is an insult.
>>572416979>claims not to be jewish>but still plays dotahow interestingkeep seething about your dead mom epstein
>>572416301>>572416979seems like a great insult since you're still seething.
>>572417330>>572417338Looks like I triggered some rusnig kike lovers by being White. How lovely.
>>572417554Hey everyone this guy's got a dead mom!AHAHAHA
>>572417685See it's not even an insult, even if it was true. It's complete nonsense.
>>572417797ur mom dead
You see it's an insult in Russia, because the Orthodox Christians believe that those inside the Church grow into the life of Christ, so they remain 'alive' even when they have died a physical deathWhen a Russian says 'ur mom dead' he is saying that, if she is alive, she lives in a state of sin away from God, so her soul is deadIf she has physically died this implies that she will be born into the resurrection of destruction, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. It could also imply that you were raised in this state of death, and if you do not correct your ways you will also suffer such a fate.Truly this is the ultimate insult.

It gets harder to justify reinstalling this game every time a new major update comes out. I really don't want 60gb of cosmetic assets just sitting on my SSD.
>queue all 5 roles>get mid 60% of the timewhy is this role low demand now?
I drive a $100,000 dollar car. Why should I post here with you losers? My dad owns a dealership too and owns 4 homes.
>>572418890I refuse to believe rusnigs are capable of giving anything that much thought.
>>572424986>Showing off his debtI guess you can give us WK Arcana to everyone in this thread if you want to keep increasing it.
>>572424986post your cowboy boots now
this is absolutely insane. We got megas 40 minutes ago and we still can't end the game.
>>572426449we lost
so when do I get my FREE arcana in the candyworks
>>572427796You have 0.3% chance to get one. It's like your local mobile game rates.

what the fuck is up with Snapfire right now? she feels way too strong.
just seems like whatever team has spectre wins.
Again the lose wave........................... dude this shit is unplayable........................................................................................
does the skill and item order differ for coreshaker and support earthshaker?
why doesn't nyx's q kill the creep wave like lions ?
>>572439015because in one you're a core and in the other you're a support
>>572396757>doomshittingI love how retards in a completely dead thread pretend there is a boogeyman enemy group conspiring to kill the game. They are so eager to defend the game and think they're fighting a war, not even realizing the silent majority are long gone. These are the typical hopeless gutter dotards who're also benefiting immensely from elo that they don't realize how evil and manipulative the game is.
>>572439575this sounds personal. if you're not having fun then don't play the game. we're not your therapist.
>>572426449>>572426668>exactly zero 0 ZERO ScythesI don't care what your build is, or what you THINK your build is - past 60 min. you get a Scythe of Vyse, on literally every single hero. Yes, even that one. Not a fucking Heart on a 30+ min. jobber like Undying.
>>572439496do you max fissure or aftershock first?do you buy kaya after blink or cuck shit like force glimmer?
New player here. What the actual FUCK am I supposed to do against naga siren just perm split pushing?
>>572440378sorry, I thought you were asking why they differI don't play him but I'd imagine on core you stack damage before bulk and look for opportunities to go in when the opponents are clumped togetherwhereas on support you'd be more of an initiator so you'd instead prioritize utility/bulk>do you max fissure or aftershock first?whatever stuns longer/more targets>do you buy kaya after blink or cuck shit like force glimmer?depends on what your team needs more, I suppose

Wraith King is secretly the best carry this patch
I really shouldn't have done my placement matches right after coming back to the game...
>>572458492It's going to be the best games you'll play for the next few months.
>>572458492It's fine. If you're legitimately good, you'll just stomp back up.
>>572458492HA! That's me!I was Ancient 1 once, and after stopping dota for two years and getting back (recalibrated too) I was Guardian 2
>>572455724what secret?
>>572460292No one picks him
>>572460364he is in 12% of the games
>>572460498I've seen him picked once in the last month
>>572460593im playing him right now and winning
>>572455724>>572460292literal cheat code in low mmr. always has been
Honestly they could've done better for Hydra's Breath orb effect. It looks mediocre next to Desolator or Skadi
Having a sub 50% winrate must be the most stressful thing in the world; going into every game with the knowledge that you're probably going to lose. Truly horrifying.
>got in an accident>busted my head pretty badly >doctor told me to watcr for brain damage symptoms, confusion, cognitive decline, because there's a risk for concussion >stay at home and grind the event because what else am I supposed to do on medical leave>Dota is mentally stimulating work, no?>play better than I ever have in a decade, with random bullshit heroes, better GPM, better warding, gain a thousand MMR in a weekwhat does that mean
>>572465464Comic book inventor hitting himself in the head with a mallet is based on real life
>>572465464back in my dota heyday ten years ago I used to play 3x times better on days where I did xans or opiates than on sober days. I think it's an inhibition/cold bloodedness thing, you just don't pollute your head with second thoughts
I kinda want to start playing more Bane but last time I did my teammates didn't understand that they had to wait until the end of sleep to attack the enemy I was setting up for them so it ended up being counter productive
>>572440839Song doesn't go through BKB.BKB then hit her with disables so she can't just song TP out + buy wards.
I just had a pos1 bitch and moan all game long over a pos5 eartshaker pick. Is it really that bad?
>>572468240>melee>low mana pool>high grief potential with terrain changesYes.
>>572468240Shaker needs farm to be good. He's not a good melee 5 like Treant or Tusk or even Undying, he's just not a good laner at all
>>572468240well... did you win with it?
in the lose queue again
>enemy NP tries to play old school rat dota while his teammates wipe every teamfight>he can't save them because we're dominating at this point but he can't push either because NP sucks at ratting now>start skipping teamfights just to camp NP with dust and sentries so he can't shadow blade away>he shows up every time>abandons after dying 5 times like this>winAs a rat dota enthusiast I understand what he's going through. But he should've changed tactics after the first 1-2 times.
dude EVERYTIME I get stomped there's iranians speaking iranian on my team
>>572470148Yeah. We ended the laning phase, him something like 3/1 and me 5/1, their pos4 had to come almost permanently to stop them from dying again and again.
>>572468240Shaker support is a bigger grief pick than support zeus, invoker, or sniper.

>>572424986my dad works at nintendo
>>572458492skill issue.I took many years off, quit before ranks were a thing it was still mmr, when I came back I was placed Ancient, only 500 mmr lower than where I left.

>>572480442Bane is unironically impossible to beat in mid. The only thing you can do is shoov and farm jungle.
arteezy really just says the same things as mason but valve wont put rtz in forever time out for some reason
>>572481124rtz has slav privilege wheras mason is an evil whitoid

I'm owning.

>>572481124Mason gets banned for paying for behavior score boosting, not for being toxic.
got mad and rage bought back twice
>Play with friendsFun, win or lose>Play soloMid if win, unfun if loseI'm so fucking tired of these 'games'. Even after shifting to turbo its such an unbalanced pile of shit that is over by draft in half the games.
2 EZ 4 Axteezy
>>572440839> A) Force a Teamfight If they're a split pushing bitch that wants to avoid fights, make one. She'll either split for towers and you have an advantage in a 4v5 figh or get caught with off guard with Clone CDs down and TP late. Smoking and a quick jump is important. Don't give her time to also join the defense. If you lose the 4v5 fight, you deserved to lose anyway. If you win, you can push faster with 2-3 heroes than a single naga. > B) Cut the waves. If she kills a wave and you kill a wave. That just nullifies the push. > C) Smoke Gank It's hard to predict entirely where people will be now. But a split pusher will usually always be alone. Obviously have disables or she will just song. (Or BKB song) But even if she does, you know she will be back in base and the ult on CD. That's when you force a Teamfight again
>>572485590I miss when turbo wasn't a completely blind draft. There were unspoken patterns that let you know how the game was going to be. >If a team is just picking heroes out the gate, you knew it was a fine game. >If a team was holding picks until 0:00, they were picking sweat heroes. You cold hold your picks in turn. >If a team was pressing the random button, you could press the random button back. Double blind just makes it so people pick safe heroes that will do fine or stomp. I'm fucking tired of seeing turbo Zeus or Sniper in 90% of my games.
>>572486428The fuck is this shit
>>572491729A richer language
>>572288065Break him in with Overthrow. It's a custom game so there's a low threshold for the easily stressed, but still has enough Dota mechanics.
oh my days blud really 'plays' turbo oh my lanta
What heroes are going to appear in the next act I wonder, I expect Centaur because he was friends with Axe and they are limited by voice actors
>>572496516whatever is in the files for having automaton models.
>>572496516who cares
>>572499067Damn you don't need to be a dick about it
so is there anything special about arcanas? i got this monkey arcana now and the ogre magi arcana. anything i should know about them? how many are there?
>>572501647The arcana are just high quality cosmetics. they usually cost 15-30€ and have unlockable alternative colors.
>>572483654bump!
>>572501647Dude everybody seems to get arcanas on rerolls while I get fucking mongolian warrior pudge
>>572465464>brain damage makes you better at dotaive been saying this for yearsthe primary metric for whether you win games is if you can avoid getting bored, tilted or anxious and instead stay at basically lobotomized levels of brain activity. if you ever think about your bills or obligations then you lose. these 2 factors explain why iranians are so high rank despite being ostensibly terrible
>>572502496I haven't found an immortal or arcana in 14 rolls :(
>>572502614most pros look like zombies when they play, makes sense.
How long does it take for you to find a match? It's taking me 3 minutes at least. Unranked match. I'm a new player btw.
>>572505841That's fast.Game also tries to put you up with new players if possible, which adds to the time for newer players.
There's just so many shit picks and autolose drafts because of the event people pick their hero for the cards with no care of the role or draft
>>572507475>t. pudge (((support))) picker
Bring back monster hunter
>>572478182You can just trade tickets 3:1 so stop worrying about it.
>>572310618just to feel something
The fact that losing turbo doesn't give tickets is honestly so fucking ass and I missed out on the bot farming train...
>>572518904Bot games still give tickets.As a bot game enthusiast, I'm glad most of the farmers fucked off. I was initially glad that co-op bot queues weren't empty anymore but when every game is filled with Russians and Peruvians spamming METEOR HAMMER METEOR HAMMER and forcefully ending the game in 10 minutes, it's not fun or worth the time. I could sit there with the crowd as Silencer and I'd only have like 20 INT max before it's over. Might as well play solo and let co-op bot queues rot again.
>spectre and monkey king ulting at the same time freezes game for 2 seconds every 1 secondsuch a dirty strat
>>572520246>a bot game enthusiastthe bots barely function, what do you even get out of those games?
>Accidentally commended dude who lost us the game >He doesn't even commend me back dick >>572400508Neat. Maybe Axe after his portrait got deleted?
>>572440839This is the weakest Naga has ever been. Just keep lanes pushed and take a teamfight.
>>57252065499% of the time it's just last hitting and laning practice. It's very zen/meditative.I sit there whacking creeps (or try to) without worrying about losing MMR or people spazzing out at me. Nothing else matters. And then I try out dumb shit, and/or experiment with Tormentor builds. I could farm heroes, or work on my farming routines. So much shit I can do without needing other humans on the enemy team.>the bots barely function,Only the Valve bots. The other scripts are better but they're not relevant for ticket farming.The Valve nu-bots of 7.40 also play differently from the previous AI bots. Your laning partner will be like a 1k MMR retard sitting afk by tower who ignores your pings so you're 1v2 the whole time, while the enemy laners bully the fuck out of you with perfect last hitting/denying ability and buy a ton of consumables for the sake of harassing you even to their detriment. It's not the same as playing against humans, but it's a great way to get used to playing a specific hero and warm up on last hitting in a real game.But none of this matters when the lobby is full of Russians spamming Meteor Hammer. I could get a rampage at the bounty rune and get a 4 minute Midas and I'd only be halfway done to my first real item when the game ends literally around the 10 minute mark. Back in the day when there were more people playing co-op bot games for real, games would at least go 20-30 minutes which was enough to get 2-3 items to try Roshan and shit (or in 2026, doing at least 1-2 Tormentors) but I can't even do that when the game ends at 10 minutes.I miss the old bots though. Those bots at least responded to pings so you could get kills in lane with them. The current ones don't give a single fuck.
>>572465464We need an idiot savant Dota pro
does safelane or offlane get the other first ward
>>572526958depends on the heroes
So will we get something new on 2nd and 3rd round of the event? Theres no dark carnival treasure II & III right?
>>572532353its crownfall but more streamlinedi'd expect nothing more than a second part and thats it.
>loading screen highlights my safelaner as 30/2/15 last game>he goes 2/19/8 in my gameSo did he play against blind people the previous game or what?
>>572535037Remember, everyone has bad games. Everyone makes mistakes.
>>572535037he played against n00bz like you last match.
>>572535875the quinssential midwit reddit take
>>572535037why didn't you help him have a good game?
>>572539309Sorry I'm right the pause screen agrees with me.Get fucked lowwit.
Leaguechads are laughing at us...
>>572532353just like last event expect a massive gameplay update or map change whatever they decide to go with
So many dogshit retards playing dota right now. Every game's winner is decided by a coinflip now, even more than before.
>>572544373Could be worse, you could be an IO player and the game is hard programed never to give the hero MVP.
>>572544764>Playing Io on pubsYou must have a lot of patience
>>572544883I stopped playing normal games and just play turbo so maybe double the IO games but yes... I do hold a lot of patience.
>>572502496I haven't found it either, bruh. I did get a free dota plus month sub, so that was cool.
hi guys, my PC is really fucking shit, i mean it, and i was wondering if this game is easier to run than league? i mean it looks so much better than league but league is also a bloated mess with kernel level anticheat among other bs, so maybe it runs better?
Hoodwink is a top 3 support by a long shot:>highly valued nuke ult that breaks cores>multistun>extremely efficient wave push>very hard to catch, lots of escape mechanics>doesn't need any do or die items like doctor or lionI don't even play the hero, I'm just tired of getting clowned on chasing a fucking squirrel around the map all game.
This may be the worst time to play ranked
>>572547575lmao she's one of the worst heroes in the game
>mid picks silencer>enemy also picked silencer>mid then picks windrangerso why even let the game start if I'm just going to be forcefed an automatic loss
