>>572631839my wife mirana and her wife marci is in the game tho
>exposed tummyDidn't know Valve was this based.
>hurr you are the only constantThe game was fucking wonThey just had to be human beings with a speck of discipline and buying proper items
Buff Hoodwink
Will Mason ever break 10kmmr?
mason was right. shitpool games are terrible. stomps one way or the other, no even games, nobody wants to push or do anything on the map. just some odd 50/50 purgatory
dotards?
>>572635690then you just kinda win by either hero picks or random teamfight winsusually the team thats behind wins too because pushing is so bad
Dota 2 PowerPoints here, thank you very much for your continued support!
>>572638085What's your thoughts on Bex becoming the new Pugna persona?
>>572638085What's your thoughts on the new Pugna persona being a robo-loli?
>Released 2013>Still waiting for this fucker to get an arcana
my nyx mid was on demon time
why are all the watch tab turbowhy are all the watch tab turbowhy are all the watch tab turbo
literallyin an hour long gamewe never did anything once as a teamcarry has 14 fucking deaths on specterGO FARM YOU RETARD
>>572638085What are your thoughts on the new D2PP video not featuring new thoughts?
The other guy was right wins do give you +40 during the event with no regard to rank confidence while losses are still capped at -25
when does nudota start for you?for me, it's everything after Elder Titan. I started playing HON after that.the second part of nudota is everything after Monkey King.
i HATE playing fucking pos 3Jesus christYou shit stomp ur lane and then noone, EVER comes to play dota with youDo i follow my specter around who I _KNOW_ will feed?How do i actually try in a game like this where i'm solo for 60 fucking minutes after laning phase ends
>>5726410782345 are supposed to run around like retards making space for 1 to get his 1-2 items he needs to start pushing towers.the problem is 2345 all try to farm like 1 most of the time.
>>572641302and 1 doesn't know that he's supposed to stop farming and fight with the team at some point.
>>572641078It depends. If you're a pusher, you stay in lane and push, if the enemy pos 1 is a better pusher, then you go push the other lanes and come back. If you're a ganker, you gank once you got your basic core items. If you're a brawler, you start BROOOOOLING mid or with the pos 1 who refuses to leave lane. Etc. etc. This is general macro decision making, not just for pos 3.I've had pos 1 players bitch me out more and more for pushing the tower too early because they liked the creep wave to stay close to their tower so there's that to consider. I disagree with their thinking but if they want to farm that way, I'll just push other towers.
>>572641302nothe problem is the pos 1 is a retard who will ALWAYS FEED when we have a leadhe will ALWAYS GO MINDLESSLY HIT TIER 3 with everyone on the enemy alivePeople queuing carry have never carried a game in their lives, wins just happen by accident for themNo pressure on the guy at all, literally all he has to do is farm, not die 5 times sitting in his lane for 15 minutes.. not try to hunt enemy junglers.. not push, JUST GO FARM
I'm done. FUCKING DONE with this garbage game. Dota 2 can rot in hell.Every single game I'm the best player on the map by a mile carrying these braindead monkeys on my back, perfect last hits, great rotations, outplaying everyone while my "teammates" are busy feeding, flaming in chat, and throwing the game at 20 minutes. I drop 20+ kills, 10 assists, and still lose because some 2k MMR animal decided to jungle LC all game or rage buyback and run down mid.Valve doesn't give a shit. Matchmaking is a fucking joke. Toxic community is irredeemable. Years of my life wasted on this slot machine disguised as a MOBA.This is it. Uninstalling for good. I'm too good for this trash anyway. Enjoy your 40 minute games with 4 idiots, I'm out.
Huh?
>>572641830The problem is, I shit stomp my lane, this means my teammates think the game is free and they don't have to try anymoreThen the pos 4 disappears to go feed somewhere else, since we "won" our laneAs a pos 3 you are relying on your mid/carry to be human beings who can end a game
Carries think its acceptable to die 15 times in a game with COMPLETE FREE FARM since all our lanes wonYou can't ever win these games, your deaths give 1k-1.5k gold
>>572642179I don't know, sounds like you have plenty of shit you can do.So what if the pos 4 fucks off and the pos 1 is a retard? The pos 1 isn't that relevant until they farm several items. It's all (You). If you win your lane, you have an early game farm advantage. So you use that to push the enemy's shit in. Your teammates might not be trying but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. You should be doing everything you can do grief the enemy team without feeding yourself. There might come a point where the enemy team catches up or you can't go forwards without your carry, but you shouldn't be completely helpless when that time comes. Watch your teammates, help your teammates, build for the occasion so when the time comes to win you can drag their sorry asses across the finish line kicking and screaming.It's not just a pos 3 thing. It's every role. And that's how you have to play if you want to climb. Forever. Because the trench never ends.Accept that pubs will always be retards and faggots. You can't seethe about being disappointed if you never had expectations in the first place. Then just focus on being a winner yourself.
>>572641975usually the reply to this kinda post is "only constant lol" because certain types dont want to acknowledge how important match quality is to actually being able to impact games, win or lose. usually these "certain types" are the reason why match quality is in the shitter in the first placeback in like 2012-2017ish, match quality was better. there was no party queue boosting, no role queue and players and didn't "soft grief" on their way to more tokens or whatever. every player also knew how to play every role passably well, or they wouldn't climb. it is in this racist's opinion that having a mostly firstie playerbase was better too. anyway, why is that important for climbing? well let me explain it this way. all players were playing at close to 100% what their mmr suggested, so you 2 teams with a nearly equal power level battling it out. so if you were slightly better than your rank, you'd affect match outcomes pretty consistently and climb.lets jump forward in time to 2026. every player is either playing at 150% or like, -50% impact depending on whether they are sweating on their main role or griefing on support. that means your team is either going to sit at 750% power level or like -250% depending on how lucky you were with the matchmaker. whatever impact you may have had gets simply swallowed up. and yes, the matchmaker does try to role match too even if badly, but it can't take into account when the our friends from the global south queue on their boosted account or when their starlink is disconnecting every 5 minutes. everything is horribly inconsistent. even if you perform at 150% of what your rank would suggest, it barely has any impact on the match. like why bother queuing up when i'm not going to matter anyway? i'm just rolling the dice on whether i get retards or not
>>572639156He will get one soon at the end of this event.
>>572642824I can't bring myself to try in those gamesWhere i'll watch our specter spend 3 minutes sitting in a lane he can't farm in, instead of finishing his radiance
Non stop cancer matches................ this event is ruinning me.
>>572644424You're only tilting yourself. Go push a lane and force TPs and get farm for yourself. Force the win, not confirm the fake loss in your mind.
I started playing after a 6 year break, I was ancient 5 in 2020ish and now im archon? wtf?
>>572645689comeback gold is so highits not even good to do stuff like that to get a leadMy pos 1 will still go die
>>572646567HAHAHAHGET RECALIBRATED
>>572646567You'll climb back, it's not that hard if you were legit 4k.
>>572646816stfu noob>>572647417I hope so. The games actually feel fine desu. Too muych new shit in the game I don't understand, people flaming my item builds and what not. I guess its fine for now.
OMFG SOMEONE STOP THE CANCER MATCHES NON STOP WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.............. NON STOP CANCER MATCHES
>>572646567There's been an mmr squish, you're at about the same skill level
>>572646726You're only tilting yourself. Go push a lane and force TPs and get farm for yourself. Force the win, not confirm the fake loss in your mind.
>>572647674i played with my archon friends back in 2020 and then it was laughable, i stomped games without trying. now it feels fine desu
>>572647660>ALTAB>game glitches and starts self altabing non stop>games gets ready>cant confirm>12 minutes cant queuethis game seriously is broken in so many levels absolute garbage and so it will be the shilled deadlock lmao
>>572647847i dnnodoesn't really seem to work that way when teammates don't know how to do anything with spaceWhen we have a lead they will go make bad playsIt's better to be behind so we can wait for the enemy to push and feed
>>572647550>stfu noobBruh I've probably been in game longer than you, (still suck though)
>>572648405Right now you're like the Spectre moping in a lane where she can't farm. You don't try or look elsewhere, just at the ground in front of you refusing to change or move.This isn't League of Legends where you're stuck in the same place forever. You're allowed to move lanes and do other shit no how weird or unconventional it is. So tilt less, win more.
>new nigger circus fucking faggot is 38% dreadlocksholy christ cucking millenialism boomerism
>>572641830>leaving the pos 1 everYOU DID NOT WIN THE LANEevery faggot on /d2g/ jhas said abunch of wshit about pos 3 annd all he needs to do IS CHOP DOWN THE FARM OF POS 1it will be okay if you can do that (yes takes a lot of survivabiliy knowledge)
>>572648881???
>>572643915tl;drbet one on one you cant even stand in a lane with a wd just right clicking youpls scrub
>>572649168um the nigger bitch in the circus? like 40% of who she is fucking dreadlocksvalve literalyl sucks nigger dicks
>>572649428it's tentacles, she's corrupted by an old god and her body is barely holding the human form together
>>572648767It's not about moving lanes or playing the mapIt's that you can't fucking play the game 1v4, where the enemy will respond to you doing thingsAnd if you get a lead, your teammates will ALWAYS MINDLESSLY HIT TOWERS TO FEEDLiterally just won a game where the enemy did exactly that, our carry died like a retard being 0/1/1 at 30 minutes afk farmingSo they get aegis, and this 15-5 enemy TA who is 6 slotted thinks she can hit a tier 3Dies twice, they get mega'd and loseLiterally has nothing to do with anything I could or couldn't have done, its just rolling the dice whether your team or enemy team will feed at tier 3's
Like back when I could talk, I would pick something like pugna, shit stomp my lane, take all towers, tell team to sit behind me for a minute while I nuke the tier 3But oh no my team thinks we are ~winning~Which means BLINK INTO 5 LIKE AN ANIMALI want my team to think they are LOSING so they go farm or sit in base not feeding
AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!
>hrmmm this dota game seems cool I remember when it came out and some of my cool internet niggas wanna play it so lemme check it out>Try out new player mode>It's a dogshit slog because every player on my team but me was feeding until the very end where we win because the enemy tried to do roshan and I ulted them and killed literally all of them because they just stayed in there fighting him with unlimited bounce ice ball on them>Finally finish the game>Every player but me has a negative k/d on our team >1/10 crystal maiden>Check the stats>Everyone who is not me is labeled as a "passive" botUh I don't feel like I learned anything
>>572649892Just post the replay ID that shows that it's impossible to win and there was absolutely nothing you can do.
>>572653284they didn't deserve to winsimple as
no way arshiteezy is going to lose to some randoms

>>572653192lurk more
>>572656246>just spend 1000 hours grinding games in a totally different way from normal to improve your behavior score :)
Thats the worst part of behavior score systemIt actively punishes you for trying to win, since that will piss off the 30% winrate retard on whatever role
Ranger sex WHEN

>>572656327Nuh uh
>>572654174Sounds like some peesg tier brain damage.If that's how you're going to think, then I won't waste any more of my time convincing you otherwise. Enjoy your losses.

huge patch.https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/570/view/670621050832160174new ticker, fps fix for lock pick minigame, nothing about boot breaker though.
As an IO main I have demands for my unloved and casually raped hero.>ShardMakes IO untargetable and disarmed while tetheredORGives IO an EVIL tether ability to leech the hp/mp regen from an enemy hero and add it to his own (sol it gets send to the ally as well)>AghsSecond tether, increase break range by 450 units, applies 0.5 seconds invulnerability on allied hero when tethered.ORConstant overcharge, untargetable, bound to the back of a hero and slows their turnrate down to 1/3rd speed.I'd love to propose him tethering to towers but DEFENSE of the ancients absolutely fucking hates engaging with the DEFENSE structures so fuck me I guess.
>>572661021>makes io untargettablebro...
>>572660994>Players no longer need to select both high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game for Ranked Roles. Instead, players need to select at least one of the high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game.So...I can just spam pos 5 without wasting tokens? Holy shit that's actually huge.
>>572661328-and disabled. Turn him into a less fuckable Yummi. I'm tired of being required to euls/glimmer just because I'm giving another player a pussy weak amount of hp/mp and a decent but not character defining amount of AS. Shit SUCKS and I long for the times when IO was unslowable so I could pull mad jukes. Although I don't miss back when tether was just a duration when I first started before Reborn. Although the 20% damage reduction toggle for his E might turn him into a rapist of a support if that were brought back.
>>572661021Slark already has the regen steal so fat chance of Io getting it until Slark's next rework.
>>572662401I haven't played in forever I didn't know that.
what's with latinx and typing "-ping"is ti a cultural thing
>>572662998theyd rather type -ping 1000 times and deal with the 250+ ping than press mouse1 (left click (primary fire)) a couple times in the main menu and select the correct server
>>572662998eh so sorry mr.americano estoy a selecionar el servidor correto
>>572662829It's new, barely been a thing. Most people probably still don't know how it works.
>immortals in the candyworksthat's new
>>572656921drow ranger is the bottom though
>>572657019it takes two to tango some people legit grief games on purpose and get a way with it but you just gotta sit there and watch
I wish there was a way to completely wipe your brain of any knowledge of dota and start fresh, some of my habits are from when the game was compeltely different back in 2013/14 when I started. Split second decisions are based off memory and game sense, something that worked over a decade ago wont' work today.
>retarded nigger who lost us the game says gg as we lose
>and then we ganked traxex bot before she got 6. me and gondar. faggots didn't see it coming. HEY! Don't touch me, nigger!
been grinding turbo recently, it remains complete assI don't understand how anyone can stand playing this mode exclusively
>>572661021>Make Io a strength hero again. That's all they need to do.
>>572662998>>572663387they are too brown and/or slant-eyed to have the int required to know you can just turn on ping display permanently in the settings
>>572671412Not good enough, I want my 7th item slot character to be an even BETTER fleshlight for the team.
You've got to want it.
can't believe i lost to this wraith king
Should I reinstall? Dota used to be my passion. Back in 2014/2015 I was around 5kmmr and would match with pros. Yes, 5k was high mmr back then. I have the summer off from work and kind of want to see how I will do. It looks like a completely different game though.
Is it going to be the same tickets for part 2 and 3 of this event? or are they going to change them like they did last time? seeing if I should save my oracle tokens or just spend them.
>>572676393yeah we are on like dota 5 right now too much to relearn. i quit for 10 months and never wish i never came back
damn i play this game for the first time in over a month and valve just tells me to kms? can i sue them?
>>572679067anyway how much to you need to play to clear this? i hate fomo but deadlock is so much funner to play rn
Anyone wanna explain this?
>>572679815You've stumbled upon something no man was ever meant to see.
>>572679815seems based
half of these dont even look or sound like real teams, what the fuck is team yandex???
>>572679815it is a bot account that plays in a 5 man bot stack.they will almost always play against another 5 man bot stack.the bots play the game poorly for 30 minutes.one of the bot stacks calls gg at exactly 30:00 every game, and 10 seconds later the throne explodes. This is why every game has the same duration 30:10
>>572679815player id plsssss
>>572682064https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198716086922/https://www.dotabuff.com/players/755821194/matches
when i say i prefer older dota niggas here get really upset thinking i want pudge mid and 1 courier but i'm legit thinking about like 2022 dotanearly anything outside of a few patches between 2011-2022 would be good to return to
>>572676393it's a completely different game. I too was 5-5.5k back then and was like 4-4.5k when I started playing ranked after a few unranked matches.
>>572681991for what purpose?
>>572681991Ok but why?
>>572682583as long as you're not advocating for any patches within the dead game time frame, you're alright.
>>572683272map should be smaller bro
>>572683136>>572683148They play the accounts for the purpose of unlocking ranked matchmaking, and then sell the accounts online to smurfs and other retards
>>572683321oh I didn't know there was a time/level requirement in this game, I thought it just required a phone number.
>>572681962Yandex is one of the search engines you use to check for image sources in 4chan though.
what the fuck did they do to tinker? his shard seems way overtuned.what's the counterplay besides bkb?
>>572681962what the fuck is HULIGAN and GamerLegion???and why is the OG logo the old one??
>>572638085Grats on being mentioned in Slacks' new video
>>572688796Slacks works at Valve right? Maybe he will consider convincing Gabe to make a Girl Pugna Persona.
>>572678464Are you asking because you want to optimise Oracle rewards for future acts? If you're already done act 1, then wait to spend the Oracle stones I guess. The time limit is only on obtaining the stones, not spending them. You can dump the stones all in one go.It's a good thing to think about because the Oracle seems to be a global mechanic like the Candyworks, not limited to just Act 1. It could mean that they'll use the same tickets throughout the whole thing since it gives ticket rewards and it's obviously simplified compared to Crownfall tarot-themed.
>>572633686wish me luck dotards, hopefully first time breaking 2k in 13 years
>>572697208i did it pog
>>572649160if you don't ever leave as pos5 to help mid for runes or to gate to put pressure on the enemy safe lane you're not doing your job and potentially causing the other lanes to lose
>>572685313Huligani is L1GA but since L1GA is a betting related team they had to rebrandsame for Vision (Parivision) and BoomBoys (BetBoom)1w (ex-Tundra) is left untouched though so I don't know how that works
>>572681962liquid, spirit, falcons, nigma, lgd, vici, ogthose are the only ones that sound and look like real tier 1 teams, the other ones are fucking tier 2-3 level, what the fuck is boomboys??? KEK
>install dota after a 2 year break>Treant is completely ruined>uninstall again

fuark... why the fuck did they cook so bigly with the event EXACTLY during steam summer sales? The fomo is too strong.
>>572702372playable*
Is warlock trash nowadays? His slow was always weak, but now that so many heroes got built-in mobility, stats would almost be a better choice. Burst have gone through the roof, and his heal that used to be fantastic is now just barely able to sustain a push.
>>572703591they made is so his slow generate damage via the minions which makes him able to farmaghs refresher is still strong
>Players no longer need to select both high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game for Ranked Roles. Instead, players need to select at least one of the high-demand roles in order to not spend a Role Queue Game.offlaneGODS we're feasting

>>572714518Just because he has the highest strength doesn't mean he's the strongest
>>572633686Can someone please gift me this set I'll suck your dick
They finally fixed the role queue requirements. You can now select pos5 OR pos3, you don't have to select both.
>>572718407Explain to me why pos 3 is in the least popular roles.Actually explain it from both ways>why is pos 3 so unpopular >why is pos 4 more popular when these days it's a cuck role not dissimilar from 5, yet pos 5 is way less popular
>>572718513Pos 3 is the most unpopular role due to pos 4s.
>>572718513pos4 has no defined role so people like picking it and doing whatever the fuck. The most important thing a pos4 can do is not fuck his pos3's lane (which they do, often, that's why pos3 isn't fun) and aside from that you can go afk jungle with Zeus or rush Mjolnir on Hoodwink or whatever and most teams have no expectations of you.
>>572718513Pos 3 has been completely irrelevant for years
Which one is pos3 again? Mid?>>572718224Shit fucking taste pleb
>>572718926>Which one is pos3 again?Offlane, but the whole point of "positions" is to determine farm priority, which no one pays attention to but still use the terminology. Famously Bulldog was pos1 for Alliance often, with Loda giving up farm for him despite Bulldog playing offlane and Loda playing carry.A lot of the time the mid player is "pos1" and not the carry.
Is this why gorgc never became pro? this dude just sound uncoachable, I'll be tilted too if i was their mid and he's just yapping and couldn't carry them a single game
>>572718513Pos 4 more popular because you control the game flow. >Hit up mid? >Go bot? >Steal water runes >Go for power rune >Block enemy triangle?>Try to steal xp rune >Click smoke >Setup wards >Fight fight fight But n0w, WHY IT'S REALLY popular. >Pick hero that can farm jungle >Dont harass enemy cores >Dont buy resources >dont block small>Feed >Either go feed another lane or hit jungle >Start pinging your offlaners item >Turn your entire team against him >"IT'S OK I GO CORE NOW"
>>572718857We're literally in an offlane patch. You retards don't even play the game
>>572719642Don't forget the pos4 jungle Alchemists.
Speaking of pos3, this hero is kinda crazy
>>572719870Try to get shard early and pray for black dragon.Free BF
>>572719658There's like three good offlane heroes, mid and carry are still the only roles that matter.
>>572719642>>dont block smallThat's what drives me mad the most. It's 50 gold at game start, maybe it gets dewarded quickly, but if it isn't, then it's free lane equilibrium for all the laning phase.
Most times pos4s aren't even on lane. At least pos5 players try to throw spells, try to harass, the pos4 is jerking his dick between our camp and the tower even when the wave is pushed under theirs. Just afk, standing there watching.
>>572720665Not being on lane as pos 4 is actually better than being on lane because pos 3 is too irrelevant to support
It's minute 5:40 and you're playing pos4, do you:>A. Help the pos3 that is determined to get the lotus>B. Help the pos2 secure/deny the power rune>C. Take gate and help the pos1 and pos5 get their lotus, fighting there 3v2>D. Stack both camps in the triangle
>>572720932>shutting down the enemy safelane is bad
>>572721034Fuck all of that and fight for MY lotusMINEI FUCKING WANT IT
>>572702861you can only play games when they're on sale, and immediately after purchasing them.
>>572718513because of how bad pos4 players are.never pick a pos3 that can't jungle by level 5, or a tempo pick like night stalker when you're in pisslow and you don't know if your pos4 is going to be a range creep or a TI qualifier.
>>572721034pull the large camp into my wave, farm it, then soak another wave in lane, then go collect my wisdom rune.
>>572721034I get brownie points from my mid by securing power rune then smoke him. Unless it's an illu, then I euthanize.
>>572671752I'm Latin American and I type -ping every time I play because I queue up for different regions and I need to know which connection I have to use to get the lowest pingYes, I'm one of those that do that.
currently getting griefed by my pos4
When did buying 6 tangos become the norm? I've been buying 6 tangos for every match I play and I have no idea why I just do it.
>>572722486it's not.
>>572722770I'm not the only one doing it though I've seen other people do it too.
>>572722486It's gay, 2 fairy fires and just stats, stats and stats are more chad.You sure will need those 6 tangos when the enemy support is hitting you harder.
>>572722831they are bad
>>572721120Pos 3 heroes are too weak and pos 5 heroes are too strong to reliably do that.
>>572723783that is why pos4 is the x factor
here's your pos4 bro. didn't skill shackle until W and E were maxxed out btw
>>572723829As pos 4 you have to make the decision whether it's even worth supporting the pos 3 as there's often half a dozen other things you could do that are more important.
>>572724142someone playing the role badly doesnt mean the role doesnt matter
>>572724170its always worth shutting down the enemy carry
>>572724185somebody complaining about a bad pos 4 doesnt mean they were saying the role doesnt matter
>>572724340If the enemy pos 5 and 1 are strong and your pos 3 is weak you won't be able to, might as well do something else.
>>572724142I usually go W, Q, W, E, W, R, W then max Q and then E. I get Vessel if no one else wants to, and then usually Orchid and Blink.
>>572724534such a rare thing for both safe laners to be strong
>>572724596Ok but you're dogshit so who cares
>>572724925My pos3 cares, he has to lane with me.
>>572724689Not really, pos 5 is always some op bullshit like treant or undying and the pos 1 has a 50/50 of getting last pick and therefore a free counter pick to stomp the pos 3.
>>572724142Based WR mainThis is me BTWIf you see me in your games, say HELLO WRANON in allchat>>572724596>tfw ywn drag drunken Lyralei into a ranger bedroll...
>>572725408melee pos5 are the easiest to exploit
>>572725705treant and undying are top wr% on d2pt you brown dense troon
>>572725705>"""exploit""" melee pos 5>pos 1 gets free double killAre you stuck in an mmr where the enemy pos 1 is afk?
>>572726128yea but only because of all the noobs who dont know how to exploit melee sups, heraldcuck
>>572724596I usually go E W W Q or E W Q W depending on lane.Early shackle in lane is pretty overrated unless you got a follow-up slow or DPS steroid to go with it. If you have to use it frequently to save your core, you're fucked for the rest of the lane because you have no mana now.W first used to be amazing when Killshot was still around at lv 1. Now I think it's a waste of mana until you're like lv 4-5 so you can do Q W combos and set up a kill for your lane partner, not yourself because you blew your load so there's nothing left with your meagre mana pool.
>>572726179exploiting a melee hero doesnt mean ignoring his lane partner
TA is funI forgot, it's been a decade since I played her
>>572726367Just admit you're archon or something, you just don't understand the game.

>>572726620nou
>>572726289Powershot can be nice for the ranged creep too.

>>572732045Bro, this rant has been going on for almost 2 hours.
so reddit is mad at gorgc now? i watched like 20 minutes yesterday i think when they played that streamer tournament and he obviously took it way too seriously
>>572732704>>572732839I don't know but the whole thing has been enabling him throughout the last couple of days and now he's running defence for himself in front of all the neets who will definitely weaponize it. Bad idea.

Can you be toxically positive
I think Doom, Axe and Tide are the strongest offlaners this patch
>>572746537Every single time I see someone type like this, with proper capitalization and punctuation, they start out as a shot-calling "PMA" type player and then spiral into passive aggressive throws and bullshit the moment anyone does anything they deem wrong. Positive players won't ever need to tell you how positive they are.
Searing Signet is great on Tide with the aghsalso it used to work on Doom's W but it hasn't been working when I tried it again recently
>>572744428Wish there was a transcript or something I can read later for laughs. This is the kind of useful grunt work AI should be used for, not the other garbage people use AI for.
>>572746537"Positive toxicity" is a thing. It's the kind where you force smiles 24/7 and oppress any potentially negative feelings or sentiment in every conservation forever.Did you see Inside Out? Joy is basically that.

>>572718513I don't think I've seen a pos 3 player in years. people that get forced into pos 3 by matchmaking just pick necro or WR and play like an underfarmed mid that retards the whole game or they play WK or CK or whatever and play like an underfarmed carry that retards the whole game. I'm a 2k btw.

What's with the Gorgc drama? Reddit removes any post that's negative against him so can't check there.
gorek trying to win gamesredditors think that is "toxic"what else is newgood thing we have behavior score to punish people who try to win
>>572766219no one here has explained anything about what went on
>>572766219Gorgc keeps making bad plays and feeding.Gorgc gets mad that said bad plays don't work out, plus his teammates are fucking up those bad plays so he's shifting blame to them fucking it up, as opposed to the play being bad. Like the pos 3 not knowing how Undying shard works.Singsing and others mention that the plays were bad in the first place so it wasn't going to work out well in general which gets him started on the melty blaming everybody and everything else except himself.And then he keeps trying to make it seem like he's not having a melty by repeating random platitudes ("haha everybody makes mistakes, it's okay") because people are coming out of the woodwork and calling him toxic for the melty and for him blaming everything on his teammates.So he's just being his typical self and doing damage control about how it's not his fault and everybody else's while trying to look nice and failing. This isn't new for Gorgc. Everybody watches him because he's a lolcow, not because he's a sweet little angel playing Dota and spreading positive vibes to everyone on the internet lmaoooooo.

>>572768249Singsing hasn't touched Dota in 6 months, what's gorgc excise of being an ass to everyone? he shouldn't be expecting top of the line play from sheepo or singsing in a casual streamer tournament
what's with all you retards falling for this low tier streamer drama to drive engagement?
I am done with turbo
This event is fun. I can play any hero. And if anyone gives me shit, I just say "oh, I needed the tickets."
what happens to your ticket stash when the next chapter comes out?Is it worth it to grind tickets before it drops?
I get retarded muted griefers every game at 12k behavior score.When are they going to ban these "people" instead of putting them in matches with humans?
>>572782936I have a suspicion that these people aren't actually muted, they just refuse to communicate with anything but ping and drawings because they can't get reported for it.
AH THE LOSS STREAK IS TERRIBLE
>>572782936It's really difficult to maintain a comm score above 6k when you get reported for every loss.
>>572786658Ok but why are these "people" getting placed in 12k behavior score lobbies?
>>572786881Because you can have 12k behavior score and 1k comm score and it has little bearing over match quality. The primary concern with the system is punishing leavers. Not people that say mean words.
>teammates are le niggers>losewaow...
>they got someone else to voice Tinkeri mad
>>572788175You sure? It's a very good sound alike if it's someone else.
>>572777024all of these streamers live an alternate reality and think they're God's gift to the earth. they have massive egos despite just playing video games.
what's mason stance on gorgc stream?
>>572790921he wishes he was relevant and could play with people again, but no one wants anything to do with him anymore.
>>572782785During previous events you'd need different "tickets" for different chapters of the events.>Tarot card theme>Only 11 are currently available out of the total 22 Major ArcanasI'm 99.9% sure the remaining 11 will be used for a "second half" of the event, so you will need to farm them againHowever>There are 6 "sections" in the whole event>2 are currently available>Next one unlocks in 6 days>Last one unlocks in 20 daysThis means the event is split in 3 parts, not 2. So assuming that my conclusion about the Tarot deck is correct it means that either>The currently available tickets continue to be used for the next section and the remaining 11 will belong to the last sectionOr>The second half of the Tarot Deck will unlock in 6 days for the second part of the event and Valve has "something special" planned for the last section.TL;DR Whatever happens you will most likely have to grind them again.
>>572790921https://www.twitch.tv/masondota2/clip/LightApatheticTeaKappaRoss-DxH-eR9eMcTPX-rGand play this along with the clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EVVKs6DQLo&t=42s
>>572782785The next two chapters use the same tickets, it's all the same act.The next act will have something different.
>>572782785Right now, we don't know.In Crownfall, each Act had separate tickets so Act 1 tickets/tokens were worthless once you hit Act 2, and so on. Even scrap tokens were separated per Act. But the ticket system here is much, much simplified so it's possible it might stick to one unified ticket system but it's too early to say.I guess if you want to wait and see, just farm up a ton of tickets, enough to finish Act 1, and then see if they're usable for Act 2 later. If they use different tickets, you just burn them on Act 1. If they use the same tickets, you can start farming real hard.
>>572788175I'm pretty sure it is still Kleiner. I can never remember the name of the actual voice actor sorry.>>572683592>Lotus Orb>Linken's>Bkb>Any basic dispel>Any forced movement>"His shard seems way overtuned"It is not. Tinker is a sitting duck while you are stuck in his "vortex" of laser->root->rearm->laserIf your team is nearby, just fucking jump him during the vortex and he will die, he doesn't have the defense matrix anymore and his displacement turrets are incredibly shitty at keeping him alive.It should be noted that Lotus is by far the strongest item against Tinker, it reflects the root back to him and makes his cast range ridiculously small completely stopping him from hitting you unless he can dispel himself.Linken's also works well but its easy for Tinker to work around it.Also also forced movement is cheap but it will only save you if your team is nearby. So long as he has blink you can't escape from him alone.
>>572765869Just make it a custom game.
>>572782785>>572792254>>572792725>it's all the same act.I didn't know that. I thought these shitty cars were all we had for the event. Guess its bigger than I thought.So yeah keep farming them for the next 20 days, and after that you will have to farm it all again for a second half
>>572792254They can also just create random arcanas or use minor arcanas too.
>>572788175Its literally the same voice actor, retard.

coming from deadlock and not used to the isometric gameplay, which character should I start with?Also couriers are used to deliver items right? so you dont go back to base everytime?Does everyone have a courier or is it a team courier?Should I worry about it?
>>572796207you have to buy it and then upgrade it to a flying courier a little bit after the game starts
>>572796207>which character should I start with?have you tried the tutorial?
>>572796207Ignore this retard >>572796325Start with Crystal Maiden for support, Axe for Offlane, Phantom Assassin for Carry or Lina for mid.Everyone has their own courier.They deliver things for you so you don't need to go back to base every time.You should worry about getting your courier killed yes.
>>572796207play against bots.use the watch tab.also watch some streamers.

>>572797254I was.I was here when Sniper had a stun in his passive. I still ask the same question.
Honestly i'm surprised secret shop hasn't been removed yet. Could put another neutral camp there. idk
>>572797498they could put your mom there too so we can all get a turn with her.

do you get banned for taking advantage of meepo gold bugs?just tested the tp scroll one and can get 100k gold easy in a bot lobbyalso discovered new meepo rapier tech:if you have rapiers they split the damage across meepos = shitif you get more than one rapier and switch one of them to spell amp then it seems to add +250 damage flat to each meepo for each rapier beyond the spell onethen if you leave main meepo in base when you die youll drop all the rapiers in fountain
>25 sec to buy cosmetics before the game starts>absolutely impossible to do so with loading time + app validation required
>>572835323You get reported for cheating by people, and even if you don't, shit like that usually gets you auto-marked by the system. You might get away with it one or two times in a normal game because you didn't accumulate enough penalties. Nobody cares about bot games though.

>>572846475Blah. Blah. Blah. Don't fucking project your insipidity onto me, boring faggot.Yes, I am smarter than you. Yes, I do have esoteric knowledge. And I am referring to other hyperfixations I have, like reading Dota2 lore and leak dumps, and not just an understanding of politics, economics and interdimentional relations.Now I'm going to go clown on a shitbag trying to argue that Dire bad, because pre-moonfall civilisation is anti-Radiant o algo. Fuckstick pretends they still abide by it, and doesn't mention they simply didn't repudiate it.

none of you seriously care about this streamer drama, right?you're all just being ironic... right...?
playing against an enigma that isn't looking for the EBIN 5 MAN HOLE is pure pain man
>>572860348at least for myself I am being ironic, I don't give a shit and it's pathetic that this is what people are being reduced to. no life or friends and just sit on the internet all day parasocially.
>>572859242go back
>>572860451>Enigma knows that solo ulting the highest priority enemy is just as good as 5 man ultPain...
>>572858773Pfft. Okay, I haven't gotten that one, yet.That's real, right? Valve is is trash-talking the players? Imagine if it was scripted to show up when you're on a 4+ losing streak.
>>572859242Lol it's not that serious but hey it's good for engagement for these niggas streams
>>572845147Fuck singsingbut also fuck gorc
>>572861771Valve does that a lot.Several announcer voice lines have things that go along the lines of>"This is fucking stupid, why are you playing this? Don't you got better shit to do?"
>>572850218Arcana has a chance to drop from Quartero?>Immortal OR ArcanaWell what do you know. Also, you're either lying or have bad memory because Level 5 was guaranteed "extra super-duper special" antique that gave you a choice of immortals, minimum.>given two immortals right off the bat in Candyworks>it's an eye-watering twelve pieces>for Brood green legs
>>572848425>>572849394none of the candyworks or event or even treasure is marketable or tradeable. (unless its the ultra rarest thing and still has cooldown) Welcome to Valve and their anti consumer invetory system that they refuse to change to be more honest.
>>572861771>>572862643Valve only knows how to do self deprecating le epic ironic humorhaha we are so in le death situation but we are still hecking wholesome chungus about it and there is a lel so randumb way out.
>>572862743Ah, level 5. Yes, forgot that one, sorry. Just checked the inventory and...I got the Clinkz' "Maraxiform's Ire" from that.And I know a guy who got WR Arcana from that! REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>572862803>the most consumer friendly vidya company in existence>gets repeatedly sued for it>denies hat barons free money>valve is anti-consumer!Some faggots really want to cement their reputation as "entitled".>>572862937Calling this "bait" would be cope on my part that you aren't a retarded niggermonkey.
>>572863143>introduce the market so people can freely trade shit and not be forced to buy a chance at their favorite hat>lel lets just make everything untradeable, ungiftable and unmarketeable so you are forced to buy a shit 0.3 cent worth set at 2.99 >whats your alternative? befriend a random indian and wait a month so he can gift you an untradeable unmarketable set that was pure FOMO baitoh wait! you get a 1-100000000 chance to get the super epic ultra rare!!!Kill yourself.
Fuuuuck man gorgc is still reviewing sing's VOD from their games yesterdaydude thats fucking insane
Sing basically MADE gorgc. Gorgc had 1k followers the day he started streaming because of Sing but Gorgc has no control over his anger. Sing used to be like that as well but he mellowed out as years passed, Gorgc didnt.BUT I think Sing ranting about Gorgc today was equally trash, it was basically old egoist Sing speaking because the 6k insult hit him hard.
>>572863538>1-100000000 chance>Kill yourself.You first, third-world ESL.
>i can queue for just offlane now without losing tokensbased I don't have to play shitty support games anymore
>>572863851>knowing more than one language is badpeak american xddd fucking retarded ape, no wonder the jews fucking own you. cattle.
>>572863538Yeah, the market is primarily for selling cosmetics you BOUGHT, with real money, and don't want anymore. Not for you to try to make money as alternative to finding a real job. And I'd rather kill you, subhuman. Along with every account seller, smurf and other "service" providers.A real human being is free to correct me, if valve places limitations on cosmetics bought for real money. I'm not a crate opener.
>>572863976Except you cant because 98% of the shit Valve puts out (thats not even made by them most of the time) is untradeable, unmarketable, and ungiftable.Thats not consumer friendly, dummy.
>>572863747when did sing have anger issuesman was always the retarded holy penis mani don't remember him having a single meltie like this mold breathing subhuman
>>572864117You bought fucking nothing. You're not a consumer. It's as shrimple as that.
>>572864240the fuck are you even saying, stupid ape.You lost this argumentYou are nothing but goycattle valvedrone.
Lol mmr really matters to some niggas like that its like asking a women her age or telling her that she too old we as dota players are something else at times
>>572864361I'm sure the victory is real in your mind. But "consumers" are "paying customers". The opinions of non-payers are irrelevant, and inconveniencing them is consequence free.
lol he thinks is still going. You can't win, little goyim.
>>572863561dude is probably more mentally ill than the posters here
>lol he thinks is still going.>You can't win, little goyim.Your subhumanity stands on the pile of dogshit you call "character" alone. Not on the colour of your skin, your birthplace, or your religious belief.
Sorry little goyim, You cant win.
>hes still coping about his game callsnawwwwwwwwwww brooooooooooaint no way
why didn't he obsessively review replays and seethe like that with his players during TI quals
this is one of the most autistic things ive ever seen, what mental illness is this gorc thing, just let it go and move on
>>572867674because it wasnt about him
qrd on this gork thing?
he bad at gaembutit team fault
>>572867402Lmao he still milking this shit
>>572867752>what mental illness is this gorc thingGorgc has a huge inferiority complex. He always has a chip on his shoulder about having to prove that he's better than everyone (hence the forever MMR grind) even though it's well-established that he's only good at grinding MMR and not playing at pro level, and turns into a bitchy high school girl gossiping and freaking out about his betters whenever somebody compares him to them.This is also why he has weird patterns with his streaming schedule. Like when somebody he thinks is more popular than him starts streaming (e.g. arteezy), he will cut stream abruptly to avoid having to compete with them and risking getting humbled about how much people like the other streamer better. He has no problem being friends with players he thinks are inferior to him but once they get popular/better he starts getting snippy with them, cuts them off, talks trash about them on stream, and does his best to convince people that person is suddenly a backstabbing snake who doesn't deserve viewers or MMR. He's done this to a couple streamers he partied with for ranked grind. Once they got close to his MMR and/or the chat starts talking about how they're a great player+streamer, he does a 180 and treats them like the scum of the earth. Standard narcissism pattern, with an inferiority complex he can't control so he rages out hard in public because he can't cope.
>>572868125gork is having a generational meltdown (6 hours and counting) because he went triangle blind, died and his teammates weren't close enough to save him
Thoughts on Grok?
gorek is by far the best one on that team and his calls need to be listened to
bane is purple
This drama is created by all the fag support players who report you for "toxicity" because ur trying to win the game
>>572870475>"Hey pos5 can you not farm the lane? Me (the carry) is trying to get stronger so we can win the game>Reported for toxicity>Muted for the remainder of the match>Behavior score downWhy are support players like this?
>>572870791>Hey retard support its 3 minutes and you haven't cast a spell yet, either play the game or go away>*Reported*
>>572869565you should never play competitive with friendsthe times i've played battle cup have all been miserable because its tier 8 and i gotta play with 5-6k dudes with a chance of running into 15ks playing for funno one has a single role they're good at and i gotta either play mid to not lose in the first 15 min to some stomp or carry to secure victoryfuck that shit man unranked it is, always
>>572871634Sounds like you just need less shitty friends.
>>572872007i wish dude i dunno what about dota is so hard to grasp for peopleis it the macro?
>Mind-rapes /d2g/
>>572869495Sounds exactly like the behavior of a few narcissists I've met over the years. People "beneath" you are trash and discarded into the trash, and those "above" you are worshipped.

>>572871634Idk I've been playing battlecup with my friends and even played in one of the few insignificant tier 4 WEU league that still exists you just need to find mature people and if someone tilts out just tell him to chill it's that easy
Gorgc is being so retarded that he is distracting people from Sing also being retarded.In fact, they are retarded for the same reason even. Both are unable to admit fault or budge even an inch toward a compromise. They both lost their cool and hurt each other's egos.High school ass drama. Nobody even dropped any slurs.
>>572873701grubby my goat he got a big head tho
>>572874550also he always opens his mouth when he concentrates, very weird
+1 yatoro mention
>>572874253>Gorgc is being so retarded that he is distracting people from Sing also being retarded.Nah, he's 200% focused on pointing out every single one of Singsing's mistakes. I'm sure everybody knows Singsing is an inferior player to Gorgc by now.
This game went to total shit after TI9
did i miss out by starting dota only so late?
>>572876139>>5728761042016 was the beginning of the end
>>572876139patches were so frequent back then dead game...
>>572875951It's not even about the game anymore. It's about two narcissists colliding violently.
>>572876139Are you having fun right now? That's all that matters.
>>572872551your response, deadtard?
kez...lay off the birdseed buddy
>>572876139you only missed out if you didn't play dota:a or hon's beta.
what did gabe mean by this
>>572877668I was being sarcastic.I don't think Singsing's arguing out of narcissism though. I think he's just an autist trying to point shit out like he would with a pro team at a post-mortem, and then getting roped into mud-slinging with Gorgc because he doesn't know how to avoid being baited into retard arguments with a narc-type who keeps changing the topic and moving the goalposts because it's not about analysis for him, it's about fee-fees. So on one side we have Gorgc sperging the fuck out because he can't admit that he fucked up, so he needs to argue that everybody else is a shitter as a distraction, and to make himself feel better. And on the other we have Singsing being a frustrated autist trying to argue/explain shit but Gorgc is screaming "WHAT ABOUT YOU??!?! YOU MADE MISTAKES TOO!! HOW DARE YOU SAY IT'S MY FAULT!!!"Gorgc wouldn't survive in a real office job if that's his response to people trying to fix shit he broke, and pointing how he could avoid making the same mistake in the future.
>>572879012hes an unironic college dropout hes lucky (lottery winner tier lucky lol) as fuck that streaming worked out
>>572879012girik didn't fuck uphe is the highest mmr player therehis teammates let him down
>>572879404he was saying on stream the other day that he would have been a doctor or financial engineer if he didn't become a streamer. sure buddy.

>>572881562it doesnt provide attack speed, retard. its only armor for you a lil bit of stats and a barrier.Solar crest gives your ally a hyperstone worth of attack speed
>>572881727>it doesnt provide attack speedAhh, I only ever buy and look at Solar Crest so I forgot. Hopefully I didn't ruin the Anon's future games with this misinformation.
how do we fix armor reduction

I am rewatching True Sight 2018.I know OG at their peak would get inside your head and you need like +10 bans plus whatever was meta BUT WHAT WERE THEY THINKING LETTING IO ANNA THROUGH
>>572899103Ame before Messi won a world cup.Accomplishments Topson? But they are nothing alike playstyle wise, Messi is just a perfect all rounder with insane game sense, Topson is just insane in the head by thinking out of the box.Like the other anon said everyone is too inconsistent in esports, human bodies were not made to grind games competitively. Like no one is done after winning a champion's or a WC in football but most players have an ego death after winning TI once.
Deadlock is ass
>>572910537probably the one and if he can come out and make a deep run this TI you will look more on point
Am I retarded or is Sand King being a Universal hero just trash? I feel like they just did this because someone was playing carry SK in Dota 1 and weird low MMR drafts, and for normal play at every skill level he should still just be STR.
>>572915562Is it?
>>572914026Stop playing for a while
>>572916937yes, you are retarded.
>>572917642You only answered the first part of the question :(
>>572917781it's sufficient to disprove the rest of your post.consider the following: what would you gain from being a strength hero instead of a universal hero? can you not buy the same items?
holy fucking unwinnable games.
>>572918658>7.22c (2019-06-09) Reduced Strength strength gain from 3.2 to 3.>Talents: LVL 10 +200 health reduced to +150.>7.30 (2021-08-18) Reduced Strength strength gain from 3 to 2.7.>7.33 (2023-04-20) Sand King no longer has Strength Strength as a primary attribute and is now a Universal Universal hero.>7.35d (2024-03-21) Reduced Strength strength gain from 2.7 to 2.3.
>>572919479this game is a social experiment with how bad this matchmaking gets
I just played a game where I went the most experimental item order on PA I've ever done so far and it went pretty well. I wasn't getting too much farm in lane and my team were retarded russians so I had to solo safelane and I carried us into victory. I went desolator as first item, skipped battlefury. mkb second item and bkb third item, after that I went satanic. It worked well, people think that mkb is a situational item but it's legitimately sort of underrated even if there's no evasion on the enemy team, the damage is solid and the extra attack range is a huge plus.
>>572920826The Veiled Oracle chose you
>>572920826Deso on a losing lane is quite normal, MKB is a trash item for PA though, it does 0 things for the hero. Unironically if you wanted more damage nulifier does the SAME SHIT
>>572914026Jesus christ and I was feeling high when I was at 12.
>>572922118nullifier doesn't work on evasion though
>>572922780What was the evasive hero you needed to kill as a second item when butterfly is not online yet.You dont need the range, you blink on people, you dont need the attack speed, you have an inbuilt steroid, you dont want a proc, PA kills in 2-3 hits. This item gives you nothing.
>>572922961oh i'm not the guyi'm just saying
>>572923059If the hero is too evasive for PA its not your job to kill the hero probably, just kill everyone else, especially as second item. You can maybe get it against butter as a 4/5 item but I rather someone chain stun bloodthorn the asshole.
>>572905915why is her head so comically big
>Nu-Dota is unplayableIs HoN trash a playable game ? it has OG dota heroes
>>572929083if you can deal with the cryptominer launcher, the playerbase that consists of shitskins that are somehow bigger subhumans than russians and the max playerbase being like 3k people then you might have some fun
I wasn't there for crownfall, would the tickets I accumulate this week still be valid for the next rooms, and would I be able to unlock the paid areas of this week later?

Fuck I didn't see candy bags were maxxed out at 15. I just rolled an immortal item I want and I need exactly one candy for yet I can't afford to do any trade
Oh nevermind it's per wagon
something i noticed is that it's always the guys with the highest curio lvl or current event lvl who mentally crack the fastest and just give up at the slight inconveniencecant be healthy to be playing on tilt like that
>>572938348t. doesn't buy casual phase drums on Spectre and keeps going for the 20 mins Radiance
>>572884291>>572883990In a perfect world she would be but this is the same company who put Sorla and Jugg's sister in Crownfall and never made a persona of them either.
>>572942350I could see them not wanting to make those two a persona because they'd rather have them as a separate new hero/character instead of just being AM-but-different. But then that means they take years to turn an idea into a real hero if they ever get to that point.
>slark enjoys diving into septic tanks
>Windranger mid on my team>she's fucking useless
why does breaking high ground have to be so fucking aids in this retarded nigger game man
I've played twice with the same guy who ended up on my team again because the avoid slot limit washed him out over time and I swear he's not human
>>572943498>doesn't buy useful items>only gets blink into Aghs>doesn't understand why she's fucking uselessI'm lucky that most of the bad WRs I've seen were always on the enemy team. It's so sad and depressing to see when it's on your own team.
>>572905915does this guy still post?
>>572947428I mean the WR I encounter just go right click build I really don't need a mid or a pos 4 with Deso, Mjollnir and MKB
>>572919615what does any of this have to do with dota 1 when dota 1 was done being ported in 7.00?
>>572920826mkb isn't a casual item, it's a counter to evasion. would've been much better value to get like a basher for example.
>>572947539Yeah she should be a tempo mid who rushes Mage Slayer Dagon 5 instead.
>>572943498it's pretty easy to win mid since most people can't handle you tower diving at 6 with haste and evasion. but most people forget they need to play high tempo and try to just afk farm like a pos1 with her.
>>572879012>we have Gorgc sperging the fuck out because he can't admit that he fucked up,Ok now i've actually watched the clip and jesus fucking christ his team was literally afk2 enemy supports are dead, the enemy mid qop just ulted a creep wave on bot laneAnd yet his team isn't retaking triangle or pushing out or fucking doing anythingHe WAS saved but then it didn't work because of a bug where undying can instantly enter his tombstone if he right clicks it If the undying used her abyssal on the SF, he lives tooIf puck blink silences the SF who didn't bkb, he livesIf snap wasn't fucking afk he could blink wind waker him, or blink stun or whateverHe also didn't stun the SF who was at like 500 hp letting him satanic to fullif pie lie shitter wasn't literally jungling a safe camp as the pos 5, he would could have walked triangle firstIt was fucking 5v3 and his team is standing in base, NOT LISTENING TO HIS CALLSSing and xcalibur think you need to smoke to leave base in a fucking 5v2 situation when they have TWO SAVES
>>572949041>shitters doing nothing with numbers advantagejust like my pubs...
I reached Divine 2 on the 30th and since then I've been met with nothing but legit griefers running it down, going afk, and having extreme crash outs.my 12k/12k score means nothing.I think I'm in account buyer purgatory at the moment. they're all tanking their rank after buying Immortal or something.
>>572949279It's insane, the axe + SF combo are defending an enemy triangle against 5 alive enemiesTheir qop had no TP and wasn't with them..And everyone is piling on gorek for walking into triangle
>>572950252I heard you get more trolls the higher elo you go.
>>572950468people just stop reporting. because there were more than what shows in my history but I guess nobody else reported them so it didn't stick.
bot matches used to be the peak good vibes where everyone just fucks around doing whatever they want. Now its nothing but autists spam pinging anyone that doesn't rush a meteor hammer and run down mid.
>>572930280Thanks anon for the info
>>572950725There is still a hidden limit on # of reports you get per week. The game just lets you click the button to feel better about yourself. So most people would be out of reports by the time the weekend hits.
>>572951574Yeah, really sucks.People cry about Valve making it hard for people to grind out the tickets but we can clearly see what happens when Valve is too generous. The Russians and f2p farmers ruin everything they touch.

Zeus should have damage instead of his faggy jump
>>572966794that skill has no reason existingZeus had fuckloads of damage but his main weak point was mobility (which is why you had to buy either blink or force staff on him.)they added mobility to a hero that was balanced around having no mobility.Heavenly jump is a prime example of valve ruining the fucking balance just for the sake of memes. because the whole point of that "jump"existing was made from a joke that zeus looked like mario and they remodeled him to not resemble mario anymore.ITs just a fucking travesty all around.
Don't get me wrong Valve writing was always reddit but this event went too far
how do I play this slut
>>572969136they made Dota into TF2, an eternal hellscape of ironic jokes and hecking chunghus quirky characters.Fuck this man. I want them to take this fucking game seriously.
>>572969136They have been writing the same way since Portal, I don't even know how to class it, it's this weird middle ground of self-awareness and straight comedy
>>572969508I'm fucking sick of it. It was fun on the TF2 comics but this shit has been going on for way too long.
>>572969508I'd say Portal 2 was the big inflexion pointand even then Portal 2 takes itself kinda serious when it has to. Wheatley and Cave Johnson are peak "hecking wholesome quirky chungus" writing.
>>572969508Laidlaw left Valve in 2016, and you can see the quality drop since then
Get itBex is so quirky and actually is talking to a plushie she believes is an elder god, what a funny silly girl.Oh what would you know, turns out the plushie IS really an elder godisn't that so funneh and random? xD
yes it is my teammates fault and not mine
>>572969508This is the first Dota speaki edit I've ever seen.
My game with hecking talking bears is serious and has lots of lore and now Valve has ruined it
>>572971038I don't know what that means
You are a fucking retard and im not even going to bother to reply to whatever fucking nonsense you just posted, consider yourself blessed by my message.
>>572964053Can't watch in-game can't even chat in spectator mode. Valve has made so many activist decisions in the past years. They're working with consultation firms who are obsessed with not offending transgenders etc. Totally turned their back on freedom of speech even fucking minor disputes without insults are punished by behavior score system
>>572971314Speaki is the creature from the Korean game Trickcal, she became really popular in the Japanese circle.
>>572878853Wait, the exchange is different for you? You should totally take the extra candy. Multiply the candy.
>>572974084The exchange is random for everyone and changes each week
>>572974084>>572878853>>572974346Wait, what the fuck am I looking at, even? Two bolts become a mint and two coals? And two coals become a nut and three mints? Two candy pieces become five? What kind of bullshit is that? I want that. Exchange it, motherfucker.
>>572974774You can get lucky and get very favorable exchange rates, of you can get fucked
>>572974986Wonder what else is RNG. I've actually completed everything (except secret rooms, I ain't paying for this). Anybody else start smelting stuff? I can get a fortune eye for five tickets.
>>572975417Rewards are the same but the cost is randomized
>>572975564So it's just eyes from the Smelter? That's comforting.
>>572975983Eyes and candy, alternating
>>572976026Ah, good. Also, I lied. I am buying the secret rooms pack.
There is more dialogue in the secret rooms? Neat.
>>572938348You've been picking a wrong kind of shrooms with your Forager's Kit lately, anon
>>572939145???The map was expanded precisely so you can't just shut down farm-dependent heroes.

>>572981000i guess, the anon said "chapter" i was simply reusing his choice of word for itthe next area will 100% have different tickets. idk about the rest, your guess is as good as mine.
>>572980787>>572981274Did Monster Hunter do anything like it? I returned in the middle of it.

Strength
>>572969279In lane? Max Shadow Realm first, your innate give you bonus regen, from normal +20% to +100%. You can also use it to harass, the damage is quite high and very spammable. I won't tell you that bonus regen will give your mana cost back, she's not Necro.Hoodwink gets an icon that goes up 100 to tell you when her bolt is charged. Willow doesn't. She gets a sound cue. So listen carefully, there's *whoosh* sound that plays at the 3rd second, indicating the charge is maxed out.The right-hand talents are for Core Willow. You drop Jex with Bedlam then get in enemy's face with Shadow Realm. Until you finish your Agh's, in which case, yes, Moonshard+Bloodthorn+Hurricane Pike is as devastating as it is in the hands of Enchantress.Willow has a line for Eul's. The principle is the same as AA - apply Crown -> Eul's -> drop Brambles at their feet, the single target control is massive. If you want them to ponder the rope some more, get shard and drop Terrorize, too. They'll just go from root, too stun, to fear, to more root.Chasm Stone items are not mandatory, but they are beneficial.
>>572983086monster hunter worked way differently, it payed homage to the actual game with "crafting" materials. this is more like crownfall with multiple acts, people rumor there might be something AFTER the train being the real act 2.
>>572988940Oh. Well, I missed Crownfall completely.
>>572974084>>572974774that's normal thoughthese were my deals last week along with the only good item I'm going to get across the entirety of the eventwas similar for crownfall, decent exchanges and shitty items
>>572990084Not for me. My first week were three 3->3 and one 4->4. I had no idea you could just make the candies multiply.>all of this is pointless, because RNGesus keeps giving me core hero sets, while I'm a support playerI don't mind the ring master set for Maiden, but I could use more stuff.
>>572990084NTA but I remember getting VERY lucky in crownfall's candyworks. I got a few arcanas and some couriers that I never had. This year's candyworks feels way more weighted so you'll get shitty sets and dupes. No immortal treasures either, just solo immortals like the crown of tears.

>Even the Ancients fall. Yours first, typically.Oracle, I swear to fucking IceFrog...>>572993685Were Crownfall's acts not advertised as such? The math seems to check out. Five alternate models, 20 new sets.
Things are... rarely as they seem.
I live Valve writing.
>>572995445
"Valve writing" is post-modernist irreverence and irony, but channeled through comedic sociopathy, instead. It's a very acquired taste.
>me last pick please>...>pick razor in this situation>ends up being useless because FW beates him all day long in teamfights. Why does people asks to lastpick if they cannot draft properly?
>>572996032Its fucking awful and im tired of it. they also chose the lamest most boring ass heroes to based events off. Why not Sven?Juggernaut? Drow Ranger? Razor?Forget about Lina and CM because they wrote them off as le quirky chungus characters
When I win too much and start having unthinkably bad teammates, I know my elo loss streak has begun.I pick meme heroes. I listen to music. I know I'm going to lose the next 5-10 games-But I'm free.
>Dota+ sub runs out>All features disappear MID WAY through a fucking matchNow THAT'S Judaism.
>>573000243sven appearing clownfall act 2 in 4 weeks juggie was in crownfallthey're saving drow for when they need an infusion of waifubuxrazor is lame and nobody likes him
>>573000243Hoodwink and Slark are two of the best heroes to star in an event THOUGH
I haven't played in years and im watching mason play zues... what the fuck happened to this game? zues has fucking leap charges like mirana? he can cast thunderbolt multiple times? good grief,wasn't the whole point of zues being that you did a lot of damage, but were squishy and had no mobility? hes playing like its a weaver, just jumping around everywhere with no care in the world
There is no way.
>>573008527Nah, back in the day, my favourite build was mid Zeus going Arcanes -> Blink and then dominating the map by being a highly mobile walking nuke ruining everybody's day. Free MMR for years. But eventually the fun times ended because of balance changes, and pros stopped picking him mid too and considered him a throw pick. He got banished to pos 4 buying nothing but shit like euls aether lens instead. No blink, no mana boots. And they lost those games anyway but they kept pushing that meme because they refused to play him as core anymore because of the meta.Valve gave him all that shit plus extra right-click physical damage so that he can be relevant through the whole game instead of just early to midgame. But even then, he's still pretty weak. He's been enjoying a positive winrate lately but the nerf hammer is coming down soon. Once the cooldown neutral is nerfed and/or rotated out, and Valve hits him with extra nerfs on top so cancer faggots can stop playing him like an afk jungler instead of an active frontline nuker, he will drop down to 40% winrate or something. Then you'll wonder if there's a point in keeping him around in the roster at all since he's so useless against people who know how to build properly.>Mason playing pos 1 ZeusIf he went full right-click that would be pretty based of him.
its cheesy but im glad they added the fake crowd sound to the TI10 cast
i finished the forge what should i do now. i dont know what to do with my life now...

>>572980167I was low on role queues after reaching D1, but I've maxed out my stack and reached D2, so I'm going back to pos1, it's too unreliable to get somebody who gives a shit about winning and knows how to win on pos1. I'm still way better than 90% of the people in this bracket so I'm going back to my 70% wr drow.
what patch notes can valve push out to give china a better chance at winning in front of their home crowd

>>573021904yea i just close the game
>>572996032Nah, it's just bad.Valve almost single-handedly invented Reddit humor/culture with HL2 and Portal 1, by Portal 2 it was ingrained into the culture of the company. This is why there has recently been a critical re-evaluation of HL2 in hardcore retro-gaming circles, it was the start of all the bullshit with Valve.Dota 2 was always doomed to have bad lore because "modern reddit-style valve writing" + the fact that they literally can't use any actual Dota/Warcraft/Diablo/Slayers/etc lore. Valve can pretend Pudge isn't The Butcher from Diablo and Skeleton King isn't Leoric from Diablo, but both totally are, and any lore they came up with was always going to be 10x worse than the stuff Blizzard wrote in 1997 before both companies went to shit.
>go SF>1-11>undying carries me to victoryHow can one hero be so based?
>>573022569>hardcore retro-gaming circlesoh no the authority on my singleplayer game enjoyment
>>573023454I refuse to believe anyone who has played that game in the last 10 years legitimately enjoyed it. It's a very very special kind of dated. The whole thing is one big scripted cutscene with terrible writing.
>>573022569Warcraft lore was perfect in every way. I'll even include the later World of Warcraft stuff up until Mist of Pandaren.You can't really compare it to anything else. Valve did the best with what they had.
Half of the games I play turn into team deathmatch at like 12 minutes, except one team never gets the memo and just dies over and over 2v5 for 15 minutes straight.
>>573026209If it's not that it's, dire has decided we need to 5 man the bot T2 at 12 minutes because we lost every lane but offlane, while spam pinging you for attempting to stop the two enemy carries from free farming while they get 4 wiped by 2 and 1/2 support ults while doing 200 damage to the tower.
>d2g lasts from Wednesday until Sunday now
>>573027095Efficiency, unlike all the gacha threads
>>573027095Quality over quantity. These other general are just full of spam.
>>573023810Lmfao Burning Crusade onward was fucking awful you must be retarded. Warcraft 3's story isn't even that amazing but it's fun as hell so it gets a pass.
>>573027529That's my opinion. Some of the stuff Dota got from WC3 is cool, especially Illidan, but the stuff based on Diablo/WC2 stuff is cooler. Techies, Ogre Magi, Windrunner, Omniknight, Troll Warlord, Gyrocopter, Abaddon all directly inspired by heroes and units from 1995. And most of those heroes have at least one response line that is a direct copy of one from WC2, especially Ogre.
>>572952665The simple solution would be to not award the tokens if the game ends too quickly.
>queue up on european server>my team has 2 very clear non-europeans on carry and offlane >they exclusively speak their foreign gibbergabber and if anything seem to detest me>neither of them are doing their jobs, so i have to do all 3x the work as mid to support their existencei feel there is subtle allegory to all this
>>572969360>>572969508It was fine for TF2 and Portal but at this point they are forcing it everywhere, from Dota 2 to hardware trailers, CS:GO agents to even the newest Half Life VR installment. But I feel like it is especially bad in this event, Crownfall felt a lot less reddit.
>>573027315auroth's ass...
Is there a bigger case of win lane, lose game than Undying? Hero doesn't scale for shit past 20 min without 15k networth of items.

>>573036383You're supposed to hold out for a T3 defense like thisWhere my braindead riki thought he was a god and dove the T3 after getting a super clean rax after a team wipe.

>>573046314I'm sure a few tiny brains on YouTube/whatever did grow up, did not critical evaluation on how game designed has evolved, looked back at a work that is old enough to drink and did the classic "Seinfeld isn't funny" take.
>>573046658Seinfeld is funny, midwits in arrested development just don't get it.
Dude I paypigged on 2 candy shop packs and only got 2014 ass sets on my 20 rerolls i'm so fucking mad
>>573046809Half Life 2 is such a huge anchor in vidya culture, that a 2010 game Singularity made by Raven Software included a meta joke about a Gravity Gun shaped weapon being shown as a prototype for the game's TMD, a glove-bracer device that can manipulate time AND gravity.So what do we have in Half Life Alyx, a game from 2020? We have gravity manipulating gloves, and they're the prototype for the Gravity Gun. That's a sixteen year joke set up and pay off.
Man this shit is rigged against me the only non-rare things I got in the candy shop were couriers

>>573028545Right idea but they're still bot games. It's hard to force a bot game to go past 30 minutes even if you tried because the bots are bad at defending towers. They can group up and TP to kill heroes but they are incapable of stopping a creep wave from hitting the tower when there are enemy heroes around.
