Buff Hoodwink
we are on the ti patch
Valve won't let us down. They always slap down a new patch in the middle of a tournament, even TI.
>wake up>no patch
Shit you need to spam to get that MMR really
>>575116815Over a decade ago /d2g/ would scrim against reddit /r/dota 2 and reddit won every time. It was crazy how much better reddit was then, and especially now.
>>575125713I remember dreamleague and starladder getting mid tourney patches but has that happened at TI
>>575126382I blame psg

which dota gal gives the best head? strictly focusing on the mouth action hereme personally? naga siren.
>>575130620the succubus
>>575130620Hoodwink
>>575130620Hoodwink.
>>575130620Hoodwink..
give me more monster hunter sets, gabe
>>575130620I'd go with Luna and Arcana WR, they got makeup on which means you can REALLY show off the end result if you know what I'm saying
Another day another centeezy stomp
I haven't seen a single animatronic set in game for the whole duration of the event, nobody fucking cares about them. Making those "personas" was also super retarded. Like, how many skins can you give persona that already has 1 very specific theme around it?
>>575130620Hoodwink, the Succubus. Seducer of Men.
Do pros play with graphics on low? I'm not even noticing a difference in FPS performance between max settings and min setting, but people stream this game and it looks like garbage. Personal choice?
>>575132567Eh probably placebo effect or it gives like 10 extra frames on your fps or whatever
>>575132567You just don't get it, having 600 fps instead of 200 on a 165 hz monitor is extremely important
>>575132567lower graphic settings show less effects - more visual clarity
>>575132567it's a visual clutter issue. low quality means less particles and clutter
>>575132871>>575132931that makes more sense.
I just report literally everyone at the beginning of every match for every reason.The fuck are you gonna do about it?
>>575133785it never goes through
>>575133785your account is probably flagged for spam and your reports automatically getting ignored
I only report people if they type in all chat.
>solo kill enemy mid>press f9 to pause game>alt click his portrait three times "enemy storm spirit will respawn in 18 seconds">type "?" in all chatname a better feel in dota
Will we get an act 2 for dark carnival?
>>575133886Source?>>575134471>flagged for spamTo who? Valve?Lmfao.I also think it's hilarious that despite grinding and biting my tongue for 20+ games, I let loose for ONE match and let every retard I'm playing with know they're a retard and my comms score drops by literally 1k.Fix this fucking shit gaben, absolute trash system.
I would buy these shitty low effort notPersonas if they actually recorded new lines with their actual personality, but they didn't.Still, I like this guy.
>>575136612>Source?You can check third-party tools like overwolf to see which games you were reported in, and then compare that to the reports you got. They will rarely match up because there is a finite limit of reports. There was always a finite limit. Valve just lets you press the button now to make you feel better, and maybe collect data on you.>I let loose for ONE match and let every retard I'm playing with know they're a retard and my comms score drops by literally 1k.It's -1k over the past 15 games. You don't actually know which games you were reported in. But you can check the quantity of reports in the spreadsheets.
>>575124819Night Stalker should be next to DawnQoP is on demon lords post arcanaClinkz on best fightersSven on mortals with technology, he just incel raged and has a strong swordSilencer, Lina, Auroth, Dazzle on powerful mages
>>575137805>It's -1k over the past 15 games. You don't actually know which games you were reported in. But you can check the quantity of reports in the spreadsheets.I literally said nothing in every game for the past week or so until today and all of the sudden my comms score is sub 6k.This is why I blindly report everyone for everything every game.Even if it doesn't go through, ok, I'll just keep doing it until it does. Makes no difference to me.
>>575138008Why would Lina be on powerful mages but Rylai isn't?
>>575138054Aside from that, I've also never heard of ANYBODY raising their comms score from the trench.You'd think that if v*lve actually gave a fuck about their game they would address a clearly broken punishment system that literally only silences people based on mob mentality and permanently bans you from ever being able to publicly communicate in games again.
>>575138327I didn't notice her, she counts too.
>>575138418All the merfolk should be bumped down to where Slardar is at mortals shouldn't they? Sven is just an incel. Slark is only a thief. Naga is a disavowed soldier.
>>575130620Death prophet.she quite literally sucks your soul out. so I assume those skills translate well.
>>575136837>Get Axe VA to do new lines >None included on the Persona????????were they not willing to pay them enough? what gives. it makes no sense.
>>575130620Agree with naga
>>575136612>To who? Valve?"to who" what? your reports are flagged for spam, esl king. these "shadowban" features and many other filters, optimization strategies are everywhere, do you really think valve wants to acknowledge gorillion fake reports made out of spite and waste resources to process them the same way they process actual reports? that's naive. also, the only way you can go 1k down from a single match is if you span NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER all caps or something like that, at which point I wish they banned your account completely because I hate little babies with their cringe tantrums
>>575130620SEX WITH TIED UP LYRALEI
>>575138008nightstalker is just a fantasy animal species lol
This hero is just crazy!
>>575130620naixactually QoP any other response is retarded
>>575138054Pings and voice lines count as comms.
>>575139205you would think its not that much of a difference to have someone record few more lines if you already got them in front of mic.
wtf is this
>>575139671QoP is going to be the "best" in the cold, boring, soulless sense of having the best mechanical ability due to experience. But some inexperience and personal charm will make for a better experience with someone else.
>>575140471better bots
>>575139591come on lad, show me the way. I want easy mmr too
>>575130620Better question, who would use teeth on purpose?
>>575141004qop of pain. that's an easy one
>>575140767I go vanguard -> blademail -> heart and shard then blink and the restBe wary of joining fights until you have heart and shard, just press your ult to help your teammatesOnce you have heart + shard the game plays itself I mean it's centaur you just farm and that's about it
>>575141004PA and Dark Willow
>>575140558I can rank myself up playing against bots? Did someone try it?
>>575141836>im picking offlaner to farm for the first half of the game
>>575142434Don't be silly.It's a bot AI called "Ranked Matchmaking AI", not ranked.
>>575142563The Frenchie special. There's a reason he has more last hits than his pos 1 Battle Fury PA. He does it all the time.
>>575135190>name a better feel in dotaMy gf once got under my desk and started sucking my dick once while I was trying to win mid against huskar
>>575142563>>575142814I mean I've been watching the good players guys I'm not pulling this out of my ass the offlaners like Noticed DM and such that's what they do they get the enemy safe lane tower then they just set base in the surrounding enemy jungle and farm it out. I mean it's not like I didn't have impact I had most dmg and most building dmg done in that game
>>575143029Yep sure thing bro I got sucked off by two cheerleaders while 1v1ing topson mid and won.
>dont get clownfall progress in low priits over
>>575130620Drow might have the biggest difference between her base and her arcana and all of her sets. Her arcana just looks leagues better and it's not even close.
>>575144431drowcana is just edgy marci
>>575143029How the FUCK is that a better feelIt's distracting as hell and you can't focus NEITHER on laning NOR on cummingYou lying bitch-ass-nigga who never actually had a GF
>>575130620How the fuck would Auroth suck you off, she's a dragon. Even if you go by her comic size your cock will be a toothpick for her.
>>575144703With her pretty puffy purple non-canonical lips and under the stern and inquiring gaze, unused to such frivolities but willing to experiment and humour me nonetheless
>>575139309By that logic none of the reports against me should count either.Why are you getting so mad? Maybe some projection going on here? Hmm...Also I have yet to hear literally ANYBODY raising their comms score from the trench. I'll wait for any examples.
>>575130620CM - prob slow and boring but she wouldn't mind and would swallow ur load with a slight smileLina - would spit 100%, prob not a bad bj but would get mad/impatient if you didn't cum within a few minutesLuna - Prob would only be good if she was drunk and would swallow ur loadMirana - idk but she would not swallowMarci - prob pretty good, she'd be into it and would swallow with a smilewindrunner - she'd prob get distracted half way and leave u with blue balls, seems like she has adhddrow - hit or miss, she might start crying before u finishta - you would end up sucking her off bc shes a trappa - I don't think she'd give head desulc- you would prob end up going down on her snap - prob 10/10 freaky dome antimage fem - no idea desu

>>575146575And the third category?
>>575145794There were several Anons who posted about how they raised their comm scores in previous threads. You're free to go looking.But the problem is that the kind of people who dropped so hard they got muted in the first place are incapable of raising it back because they are low skill. They never learn. Like 1k shitters who can't climb out of the trench. And then they whine 24/7 about it. Funny how the people who get muted are the ones who can never shut up, eh?

faggots
>>575134772Pretty much Powershot + Maelstrom is the only way to farm creeps quickly on WR. I've tried many different item combos and always go back to Maelstrom. It's mandatory IMO if you're going to go core. You can try some half-assed "ermahgerd farm heroes noob" attempt and go straight for your damage items while ganking but that shit's not happening reliably enough for you to forego creep farming. Even if you get an early Diffusal/Daedalus/Desolator/whatever, it's still not going to help you farm camps quickly. This also means Arcane Boots also mandatory for WR. If you're mid, Bottle is mandatory too, especially if you want some kills mid. When I go mid, it's just Bottle -> Brown Boots -> Maelstrom. Maelstrom is what helps you start farming more than one camp a minute, especially Ancient stacks. You can't farm Ancient stacks early game without Maelstrom on WR.Does this mean you should rush straight to Mjollnir? Ehh not really. Mjollnir helps with farming but you already took like 12-15 minutes to farm that Maelstrom. You need to start using that Maelstrom's lightning procs to kill people and push waves/towers and then buy useful items because WR is like a hard carry who needs a bajillion gold and items to start being useful beyond being a shacklebot. That 2,500 gold to finish the Mjollnir is better spent on a damage item or BKB or whatever.This is also why pros were obsessed about using Whirlwind (and the shitty shackle damage facet) on pos 1 WR but then ended up doing nothing with it because all they did was farm with it, and never fight. It was a dumb time because commentators would try to drum up drama screaming about how OP it is and all we got was shit like webm related until WR got gutted hard over several patches.
>>575147948Stupid wyvern, your mouth is supposed to be the opening of the onahole, scrap this and redesign it.

Let's sum up my Dota+ experience so far with 5 matches that had predicted quality of (Perfect):Game 1 : botsGame 2 : botsGame 3 : smurfGame 4 : botsGame 5 : smurfPredicted match quality (Perfect)
Mason "mason" Venne has earned approximately $339,235 in total career esports prize winnings across 25 tournamentslets say he put 300k in the stock market snp500 that would easily be over a million dollars now (this is very conservative) since 2017 where he got his last actual bag of cash.he prob makes on avg 80k a year on twitch (more in previous years, less now so averaged out) and it seems like he lives like an incel in a dark apartment or maybe his parents house so its not like hes spending anything.
>>575155063Just like behavior score it's a placebo

It really does make sense that there's no point in ruling the world if you've KILLED all the people you're supposed to be ruling over, huh.
>>575159034Mate, I don't know your story so I'm not here to judge. But how the fuck does one stay in the 2k bracket for literally 13 years? How did you not get better after playing 3 presidential mandates worth of dota?
heck yea accept

>>575154227The ones with Keith David are pretty good.
i have a stupid theory craft in minddagon wyvernreasoning:>ww's q is % damage which means any hero can be brought down to less than half their hp>dagon just guarantees the kill you dont even need to upgrade it>it also guarantees ult kills if theres only 2 heroes in the curse>build path is treads->dagon->blink->upgrade dagon or witchblade + casual chasm stonebecause im a fucking faggot who dosent like -25 mmr i dont actually wanna try this in my games but if there are anons brave enough, please tell me if its actually viable
I had to stop buying aghas shard on Slark after seeing everyone do it and then doing no damage. Going real items is infinitely better and easier.
I have an idea - what if jungle camps at your side were allied creeps like your lane creep? so the only way you can farm jungle is if you risk it and go to enemy's side
Slark doesn't buy damage items. He gets damage every time he hits a hero.You build survivability on Slark and pick off their team one at a time. If you want a 1 vs 5 manfighter then SLARK should not be your choice hero.
is it true that third worlders get extra internet cafe time if they get a rampage?
i fucking hate spirit breakerbraindead support that completely changes how the game is played and my retard cores cant stop dying to him
>>575170643if that was true people would buy full tank items on slark
>>575171590He already has it. He gets a free heart when he's not in vision. And Skadi is a key item for him.
>>575167094Oh the black guy. I like him.
I'm gonna pick morphling
>>575172430he's fun
i really dont think dota is balanced anymore
ngl anons i kinda wish the wr arcana never got re-released, i see almost everyone with it nowadays it kinda devalues the arcana itself for me and it will only get worse when they do the same to the drow arcana
what did cyborgmatt do? where did he go
>>575173314I hope one day everyone would be able to buy every set, it's utterly retarded when games have limited content, I hated it in wow and I hate it in dota - why am I being punished for not playing the game earlier? if you want rare items then gate them behind difficulty, and all people who complain that their sets are "devalued" because other people can have them are basedboys who like to collect funkopops - sets are made to make heroes look pretty, not for you to hoard them
WHAT'S UP MY NEIGBORS!
anyone wanna play?
dead general and no one engages in conversations, a bunch of non-you posts. you guys suck
I was worried because they completely shut me down in lane, but I was able to turn it around.GGNORE
>>575174880its ok bro everything in this world is going to shit, dota is just one of those, 4chan too, d2g as well>>575175167augar you got turbocarried by the sniper he has like 2x your net worth and look at his kda
>>575175278How do you think he was able to get those kills?I protected the shit out of that sniper. I broke blinks. I leashed Spitfire. I set up almost every team fight with my positioning. Check the replay.
>>575175402thats like 3.5 last hits per minute you need to farm more, you are carry not position 4
>>575174880theres only like 5-6 anons here replying to eachother no one plays dota, let alone someone who plays AND uses 4chan
>>575173314It's okay.The real prize is the second style unlock, which most of them will never get.
Was a good day.Gabe, give me mercy for Saturday Dota. Weekend dota is whack.
>>575178361you got carried hard by invoker on your last game. 20 kills, 4 deaths, 22 assists, and 1223 XPM. forced 50 coming ur way
>>575178603That Invoker was such a chad. And only AM built a BKB against him.
>>575178637oh, actually slardar built one too.I lost lane pretty hard against him and venge. Because 2 stuns would eat up 75% of my HP.
>>575178637u did good tho, destroyed the towers and ended the game
>>575178817Thnx homie

>>575182286>still dies to some red nigger splitting his head in halfcheckmate
as i get leaner my dota skill is getting worse damn
Im, getting old. What the fuck does "persona" mean? Is it a skin?
>>575185047it's some special skin that changes the model, i think
Is it worth it to start playing Dota as a new player? I constantly hear how this game is dying and all that. But is it true?The first moba I got into was Deadlock, and after over 500 hours I learned that I really enjoy mobas. So I want to try Dota now.And what characters are good to start with? In Deadlock my main is Victor, which is a drain tank/carry that damages himself and has a passive ult that makes him respawn at full health while stunning and damaging enemies around him.
>>575187053The game has been dying for over 10 years despite having steady numbers according to doomtroons.Wraith king in dota has basically the same ult as Victor but he's a physical damage carry instead of a aoe drain guy.Pudge has the aoe self damage toggle spell and also bebops hook and mokrills ult.
I'm archon btw. Is the game just full of smurfs now? Most games at this rank take like a fucking hour because they don't know how to end. The past couple days every game I've played one side felt like the entire team were smurfs that were queued together and never stopped pushing until the game ended. Snapfire in every game btw.
>>575187053Dota players have been saying the game is dying for 15 years now, go figure. Just ignore them.Deadlock heroes are amalgmations of Dota ones so to get one similar you have to pick what aspect you like>Dota has an item called Radiance that adds a magical aura that damages those near you, so theoretically anyone can get it, but specific heroes usually build it for farming and fighting>Wraith King can build Radiance and has the same resurrection ultimate, so he's the closest. He has a strong stun, build in Lifesteal, and is a strong carry.>Necrophos has a build in damaging aura and also builds Radiance, but no resurrection. You build him to be tanky and fast, and stay on top of enemies and run them down to damage them with your auras, and he has a really strong single target execute spell>Leshrac is also someone with spells that have a damaging aura, you also build him tanky and fast with a lot of mana to run down enemies by existing near them>Victor's edgy self harm spell that has a magic damage aura that also hurts him was taken from Pudge, but he plays more around his hook, what they turned into Bebop
>>575187053>Is it worth it to start playing Dota as a new player?Short answer: No, unless you have severe autism.Long answer: It's an incredibly complex game with an incredibly autistic playerbase and you'll likely be facing Russian ghouls who have played this game since 2004 in your first ever online match. If you can tolerate that, then maybe you can test it out. Honestly, Dota is still a fun game, but it's not for everyone.>I constantly hear how this game is dying and all that. But is it true?Yes and no. There's a relatively stable playerbase that can't escape this game. Valve throws one or two bigger updates per year. It's a slow death, but the game will likely stay alive for years.>And what characters are good to start with? In Deadlock my main is Victor, which is a drain tank/carry that damages himself and has a passive ult that makes him respawn at full health while stunning and damaging enemies around him.Wraith King is kinda something like that, he's also really easy to play.
>>575160716Meanwhile it was my gf that got be into Dota. Imagine dropping videogames for some C tier pussy.
Is Winter Wyvern still viable as an offlaner or is the meme right click build dead?
>>575130620>gal>phoenixwhat the fuck are you doing anon
>>575136612holy subhuman
>>575185047Alternative version of a hero with a different personality/background/whatever. It's kind of like a skin. You need to unlock the persona to use it, and then also equip skins that only with that persona.e.g. Wei - Female Anti-MageToy PudgeGay PAAnime Davion and MiranaShota Invokeretc.What's the difference between the personas and arcanas that drastically change the heroes? Not much. Personas came long after arcanas were a thing so there is overlap. At the code level, they are separate types of the same hero.
>>575188402>Is Winter Wyvern still viableYes
>>575187053Dota is old, so you'll always have people bitching and moaning that it's dying, etc. but it's one of those games with years of development and work and mechanics in it that you will spend years learning new shit constantly and then when you go out into the world to play different games, you'll realise how they are only a shadow of the depth Dota has. So you'll always keep coming back to Dota even if there are things you don't like about it.So at this point, I don't think it's too late to start learning to play Dota.Especially while it's still got an active playerbase and the historic knowledgebase is still accessible (e.g. posters). And since you said you played 500 hours of Deadlock, you clearly have the mentality for it. But be warned Dota is a different beast from 3-D FPS games like Deadlock. You won't be able to headshot frag your way to victory like those games. Dota emphasises strategy and macro-planning more than micro-movements and reflexes. Yes that shit still matters for the game but even the best twitch reflex players can't solo carry the game if they and their teammates fuck up teamfights and playing the map.>>575187053There is a (somewhat broken) tutorial mode with a beginner's pool of heroes to start with. Just do the tutorial first and play some bot games to get used to the UI and shopping in-game. The newbie hero pool is good enough.There's also currently an active co-op bot playerbase that gets drops for the event going on so you can jump into that and get carried too. Those games will end in 10-15 minutes so you won't ever get to reach lategame but you can practice basic controls and dicking around with heroes without worrying about losing no matter how hard you feed.
>>575191023Thanks. I dont care at all about skins
>Another blatent scriptkiddie lvl1 steamprofile skywrathHonestly considering banning this hero always, half the time its a hacker.
>be some hero>Underlord uses pit of malice and gangbangs you from whereever he wants How is that fair?
>>575193579uhm him rooting you for 10 seconds is a core part of the hero chudyou can't take that away from The Players™
>>575193579Just buy BKB. He turns into a melee creep who can vacuum up farm and do nothing useful with it except kill more creeps.
I fucking hate turbo because nobody is playing unranked nowadays because of it

>>575138413>Aside from that, I've also never heard of ANYBODY raising their comms score from the trench.Bro just unbind ping & chat, check both anonymous mode and no incoming chatReports for communication can't go through if there's nothing being reported. If you still can't steadily win good boy points after doing that you're just a griefer not sentient enough to know he's griefing and you deserve the shitpool
>>575198284Reread the post you're replying to.Dotards' reading comprehension is exactly where I expected. Fitting for players of this dumpster fire of a game.
>>575160974NO I REJECT YOUR ABSOLUTELY LOGICAL REALITY and substitute it with my sloppy fantasies
>>575162063Gigabased, would pay
>>575173314THOSE FUCKING LIPS>>575163518Why does WRHORE has the same succ energy as the literal succubus from hell
Reporting everyone every game for every reason and people DO get muted from it.It's fucking hilarious taking advantage of this broken fucking system that valve came up with.Bunch of fucking retards that deserve to literally die.
Guess who got the MVP? No, it wasn't razor, he was killing too many players and pushing too hard. No, it wasn't zeus either, he was 3x the net worth of anyone else and solo-ing drow ranger. That's right it's the random abaddon that wasn't even playing apart from popping a random shield. But when I play Doctor or Hoodwink and have 40 assists and 20+ dewards I'm not even in the notable mentions.Game designed by literal mouthbreathing faggots.
>>575204096kill yourself dogshit zeus nigger
>>575204096Who can have predicted this? Oh wait, me.
>>575203659this is life below 12k comm score
I don't get it I keep losing com score at the matched rate of my behavior score despite never getting com reported because I don't communicate
>>575198545>just a griefer not sentient enoughif you have not figured it out this is always the case
>>575206247stop looking at your schizo report and play the game
Did they change how mmr gain functions under a certain MMR? I read on Reddit that it seems like you gain more MMR for wins than losses till a certain rank now.
>>575206247Commends don't mean shit. It's all about not getting reported. None of the systems in this game do anything. They're just vaporware to confuse the average player that someone is still working on the game apart from the hat designers.
>>575207082But I get reported when I lose games no matter how well or bad I play though
picked Centaur into AA fuuuuck
So like everyone is aware than Hoodwink is a massive shotacon right? That isn't still secret news I dont think.
Hoodwink is definitely the kind of character that would vore people if she could. Like if someone got shrunk.
I NEED ONE MORE WIN PLEEASE I DONT WANNA BE A CRUSADER ANYMORE, I AM SO CLOSEEEE AIAIAIAAIIA
>>575209936I'm sending the agents, you will be guardian soon.
>>575210226LITERALLY AGENTS ARE BEHIND METHIS SHOULD BE MY 5TH UPRANKING MATCHLAST TIME MY CARRY LITERALLY LEFT BECAUSE MY OFFLANER BULLIED THEM
Honestly the biggest forced loss component is when both supports are bots while their supports play somewhat decently. Like we're 4k mmr please buy wards off cooldown man
>>575210359AM I GONNA WIN THIS? GIVE YOUR PREDICTIONS!
how can it be so hard even in immortal for cores to realise its not always the best option to afk farm? its unreal to see offlane zombie getting 15min aghs and mid just refuses to come farm behind the deathball.
>>575210532>Mein fuhrer
Leaguechads are laughing at us...
>>575207082>None of the systems in this game do anything.commends tell the other party that you commended themits one of the few mechanics to tell others you enjoyed the match without using chatyou expect them to do more which is fucking bogus
>>575211194It's simple, you're not playing with a group of friends so you don't know the real capacity of your teammates. Imagine you tp top to help and your retard supports miss their spells or get juked, all while the enemy mid is freefarming and has bottled a DD rune. You just lost your advantage in a game where every small decision counts.
>>575210532THANK GOD I AM WINNING, ENEMY INVOKER SUPPORT BUILDS RADIANCE

apparently if you get the pudge set in the carnival cases you also get the toy persona.
I swear to god if pub goes over 50minutes, the team who tries to end it will always lose. no matter how far ahaed you are the correct play is hide in base and wait for enemy to make mistake.
>>575223198anon it has been like that since the first custom pudge persona. you really think valve would make you gamble 2 dollars to get item you can't use?
>>575223198yes? thats been the norm for like forever.and pudge persona is in like every single chest, nobody likes it

Game was won but pudge mid decided to sell all his items and grief. Not gonna lie guys this one got me, I can usually not care but this one grief and losing a won game after 63min of playing 4v5 hurt my feelings bad. if he just fucked off in the jungle it wouldve been fine but he also joined fights and hooked us to fuck up our positioning
