>>576936396one of the worst way to lose with >teammate dies alone in a random spot without buyback in a 60min+ game in an otherwise even game
>>576938867It's good. Heart is the only item Centuar needs. It's a sad truth. Who gives a fuck about a blink when you can simply walk at the enemy and zone them out?
Don't talk to us or our son ever again.
>>576938867With the Heart Shard centaur build you'll be tanky but you'll also rival your other cores in damage output which is just something Centaur can't do with any other build. Just don't forget to get Bkb, Lotus because they will buy Silver Edge and Spirit Vessel against you. And don't play against a Skadi carry like TB because any kind of health regen counter neuters you. Don't pick him into AA too for that matter
>>576938867shitter animals rush heart like the redditor actual pro players buy helm of the dominator before heart because that allows them to play the game by dragging waves and doing pseudo lone druid bullshitcentaur was picked 6 out of 7 matches in the last tournament 3 final series and went hotd into heart every single game
>>576939142Love Hoodwink
>>576939079great gimmicksomeone fund this
>>576939142Where can you find all the voice lines from the event?
>>576937052New Ghost Scepter upgrade.
Why is Hoodwink Australian
>>576939372It's so anti-climactic and disappointing to lose like that. The moment you look at his hero on the top bar to see no buyback.
furries need to go desu
>>576946184She's kiwi
>>576947062No you retard she's squirrel
Apparently there's no short film contest this year in TI because Valve is worried about AI usage.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOGiGheuiohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0FCLlvCRJwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcMsnk-vSBg
>>576947515AI slop truly is disgusting
Guess his rank
>>576947515Is that true? That's one of my favorite parts of TI
>>576947723>not even looking at the screen Whatever rank psg was (he copes that rank doesn't correlate with skill)
>>576946207i think they do it deliberately because they want out to go do something else or something. cause ive had teammates play just fine, know what to do then at the 65min mark just run in and die to get it over with
>>576947515Hot gif where's it from? I just need more dota lewds
who could this be chat
>>576943309In the game files but you need a program to unpack them, I don't know if they're on the wiki yet or ever will be
>>576947863kek
bounty sounded really fun and i thought i was going to main him but this shit is genuinely not playableinvisibility does not exist, it simply is not a mechanic in dota 2there are not enough fucking wards in the shop to get rid of the INFINITE sentries across the ENTIRE MAPin BOTTOM BARREL HERALD
>>576950209I feel like he needs a rework, he is a hero from an era where there was one courier and sniping it was a big deal. Supports barely had gold to buy wards back then and now they're free. Rework him valve.
>>576950426Give him the shuriken damages units it flies through facet effect and he's good
is this the last TI?
i love games where i don't have to do anything and still win.
>>576951585Is this a good thing to do?
Do you think they will ever bring the Monster Hunter cosmetics back?
um what the fuck
>>576950979they are dropping things every year, its clear they are slowly getting rid of it. first it was battlepass, now its the short film, dont forget the small prizepool now. its over by 2030
>>576953691Short film was killed because of AI slop. I don't blame Valve for that.
topson at ti LFG
>>576953691I understand why, from a game developer point of view, why they add stuff over the years to keep players, but i really miss 2014 ish Dota 2
>>576954959thats when it peaked for me, around 2014-2015
>>576951585you did the most important thing in dota, not die
I lost lane to a pos 4 weaver and pos 3 pudge.kill me, bros
>Faceless's Support abandons him>Farm him in lane for like 7 kills>He literally never dies a single time again>Ends with double my gold because I tried to push my lead and died a bunch of timesGetting really annoyed that it is optimal to literally never ever fight anyone as a pos 1 and just completely afk until your build is finished and yet doing that will just make everyone on your team give up and blame you for everything
>>576954737Ame also finally dropped xiao8. That retard has cost him at least 2 TI's with his terrible drafting in grand finals.
>>576956798wasn't it ame who picked jugg last pick or something like that?
>>576956893Is it Ame's decision there to pick Juggernaut or did his coach pick it for him?
>>576956893IIRC a lot of the good carry picks were already banned. Jugg was probably the best anybody could do with what was available.But the rest of that draft was retarded.>Pugna SD supports>let Falcons have Magnus>etc.They dumpstered themselves at draft.
>>576956982idk, how could i
>>576957157I was going to say maybe they'll show in True Sight, but then I remembered there won't be one...
>>576950209bounty is a terrible hero, just pick treant if you want an invis hero with actual impact
i feel like that jugg vs medusa finals game was a few months ago why is time going by so fast dotards
Ame is terribly bad this year the rest of the XG team is good but their playstyle is Ame + 4 so if ame is bad then theres no point. the real chinese team to invest on is Vici
>>576950209>>576950426>>576957256Erm, 52% winrate DOE
>>576956893>>576957130Oops wrong image.I guess only AM was the only significant carry ban.But man, this was not a good draft. I don't know if there was a better carry to pick to salvage the draft.
he tried my patience taking my xp in mid i destroyed my items and feed the enemy slark 10 agility and then just left
>>576958467>taking my xp in mid At what in game time?
>>576956013It's a good lane, sir.
>>576956893Xiao8 let falcons have dusa + siren the game was lost at that moment
I mean Xiao8 is a consistent drafter but then in actual clutch games he just shits it up. There's no way he's gambling because I'm sure he would've been exposed by now
>>576958579at the start. he also was a cunt saying he would report in the start of the game so just threw in the towel and had fun with it. secured first blood on the enemy he could have avoided it

dark carnival act 2 wont come until after a month after TIlol
>>576960442Source?
I'm officially Crusader 4, boys.
>casually dewarding enemy jungle>enemy team comes out as 5 to gank me>try to hide in the trees but they still found me>blown the fuck up with multiple ults and some BKBs>mash my buttons to stall and dust before dying>teammates come in and wipe them out>enemy supports try to glimmer out but they were dusted>get two rax out of itI don't know if they just really fucking hated me or if they thought I wasn't alone but lmao that was not worth it for them.
>whole team is beanersNever a sign of a win.
>>576961193Why in the universe would they expect your team to actually come in and clean upAnd even if they did, why in the universe would they expect them to actually push towers afterward
tailung shouldnt have gotten a lifetime ban very harsh for a young nigga tryna make it 2 years is enough for him to change his ways
Reminder that "The Dark Carnival" is an Insane Clown Posse thingtherefore Hoodwink is a juggalo
>>576963661There hasn't been a single carnival in this entire event, I feel completely scammed
>>576963661I thought it was a L4D thingTherefore Hoodwink is the mascot of Valve
>>576956893It was xiao8 who picked Magnus the game before thinking the series was over. Only to lose and Ammar pick Magnus just to troll him.
>>576962558>Why in the universe would they expect your team to actually come in and clean upThat's what teammates do? Go help each other when they're in trouble?You DO try to help your teammates when they're in trouble, right Anon? Right?>And even if they did, why in the universe would they expect them to actually push towers afterwardNow I can't tell if you're being serious.
>>576954737now this is ebin
In retrospect, picking Undying, Necro and Slark when they first picked AA, was a really dumb idea.
couldnt they just do topsons generic picture??? ai was not needed for this at all
>>576965812Washedson at least watching him flame out will be entertaining
Horrible start to the day. Lmao. Guess I'll play something else.
>>576965812Probably for the shirt
Undying: A Hero for Big Blacks
>>576965812aw man i like topson but they should have went for abed, at least that guy is fresh out of a tournament winning as a stand in too
>>576965936He's like rank 60 playing retarded heroes like OD. I don't think he's washed yet. If he gave a shit he'd probably get rank 1.
>>576967393He's been exposed for spamming Earth Spirit off stream to gain rank then he plays dogshit heroes on stream to entertain the pinoys like you who worship the ground he walks on
DISREGARD WINDRANGER COPYCAT HOODRATPOST THE REAL LYRALEIWILL THE REAL LYRALEI PLEASE STAND UP
>>576967934where do all the artwork that gets posted on d2g get saved?? theres so many but i aint gonna scour threads on the archive for weeks

>>576968152I can just link you all the art I had comissioned, anone
Why did they replace tailung with flopson instead of RTZ?
who even cares about this game anymore? it's 20 years old lmfao. theres tons of new games that are better lol why even play this boomer game
>>576968995>Cast all your spells then dieThe exact same as Venomancer, really should have expected it
>>576969168you think someone would do that, be friendly on the internet?
>>576971391name 7 games from this year worth playing

Time to care about this shit game for 2 weeks again.
>>576968641That's one of the old ones, but I have only posted it once before now
>>576969168I hav edone that before. like>you fucked my game quite good you rascal you
>>576972146why should I?
>>576973226ok, 6

>>576973896oh wait its only the mega kills one not the annoucer. well I mean if you want glados mega kills and lack 0,5 dollars sure.

uh...dotards....ti?
>>576974703starts on my birthday!!!
>>576967934okay
>>576973320cant think of any sorry, i guess theres nothing else to play rn
>>576967934>Autumn arcana styleI'm still 900,000 damage away, it's taking forever...
I get why Shadow Step was removed but it was a fun skill to use nevertheless.Maybe it could come back but it can only be used on targets who don't have ally heroes or creeps within 1200 range?
>>576976462I miss AoE Focus Fire whatever it was called
>>576976660Whirlwind, it would have been a great time to get more damage for the style unlock.
I LOVE MY SQUIRREL-WIFE
>>576976974I spammed it because it was fun, but it wasn't a huge boost to the arcana gains compared to regular focus fire
>>576976974>>576976660>>576976462SOON ™
>>576975139I need a girl like this in my life but im almost 35 and getting a beer gut and she looks 20 so yeah not happening lmfao
>>576978357Have hope. I'm almost 30 and I can hits from 18 year olds on dating apps all the time. Usually they're dudes though.
>>576978357Duderino I have a grill like this at 35 and it's WAY more maintenance than a simple dotard like me can bear
>>576978709Based, even if men. >>576978878I bet, we just want to play dota. Does she make you go to dinners and road trips and stuff? constant need for attention?
is having tormentor on your green emblems fine or should I try to gamble for teamfight?
>>576974504you have to win to gamble for arcanas...
>>576979041>make you go to dinners and road trips and stuff? constant need for attention?Unironically yesAlso the flat is fucking littered with parts of her cosplays and the cosplay sex ain't even that goodAlso she refuses to coplay my waifu and I kinda don't want her to cause of full-on character mismatch + having just a grill say that you suck is one thing, having a face of your fav character do something warm and sweet and THEN say that you actually suck in-character is a huge turn-offWomen are a plague
>too much maitenancethe fuck else are you doing with your lifeI fucking hate you

I mute and report all rusnigs on EUW, they should stick to their own server. I don't go to their server and refuse to speak russian, why do they come to EUW and refuse to speak EUW languages?

I don't want to listen to random women bullshit about some inane inconsequential things or yet ANOTHER leftist rhetoric about how I'm fully interchangeable with a random indigloid or nigger (that's the direct quote btw)Also for you not to brand me a lying homo, here's some cosplay prop I had designed for her a while ago: it's a glowing arrow with hot-swappable battery pack>>576980773The amount of disrespect and nagging I put up with just to get some young pussy is TOO DAMN HIGH
Can someone explain why the Anti-Mage with a 22 minute Mask of Madness deserves to be carried while I don't?
>>576983631Dota+
when are they removing hoodwink
>>576943309>>576948742https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Dark_Carnival/StoryUse a link extractor and a bundle downloader app. I did this to make my Hoodwink AI sexbot have her voice. Grok sorted all the links out for me.
>>576983884>make my Hoodwink AI sexbot have her voiceTell me more
dotards will do anything except improve
>>576983884never change, d2g

>>576983956https://crushon.ai/character/3653e530-b1fe-4507-9c04-d773f7099cb6/details
No, no, the 22 minute MoM into Battle Fury Anti-Mage deserved to win, he was simply the better player
>>576985121That's why he had more gold than my pos 1 and mid, after all. He wsa the better player.
>>576985121he was too weak, that's why he won
>>576983972will the matchmaking improve lol tell valve to fix their game
>>576985408 put the fries in the bag bro
>>576984547Do I have to make a account for this?I'm a schizo and I refuse to make accounts for anything.
>>576986236unfortunately yes. however if you want I can transcribe something for you and post a pastebin of some sample smut

man why does nyx have to be such a weak laner, its a nightmare to play early game, and then the enemy will just buy a fuckton of sentries anywayhow can i make huge impact as nyx??
I hate playing against Spectre. It's the one hero in the game that invalidates positioning the most.
>>576987330Depends on if you pay for the more advanced model. Free ones are pretty restrictive, but I built my own models under pro and ultra tiers. They're completely jailbroken.

>>576992245I wonder how many progamers have gotten away with it
dota died when they removed techies green bombs
>>576994747You mean when they removed Suicide Squad, Attack! and stacking land mines.
>>576993371not nearly as many as professional athletes
>>576993371>>576992245a lot more then people think if you already know your team is sorry af and not going to win shit you might as well try to win running up a check all you gotta do it not get caught

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>losing hard>techies is planting mines in the far side of the enemy junglewow thank fucking goodness we have an extra layer of defence ready
>5 kills ahead>still 4 levels below the mid>Lion can just walk up and kill me under towerWhy am I even playing this fucking game
>>577002618To learn how to neglect farm for kills.
>>577002875All I fucking do is farm in every single game and I can never fucking fight anyoneThis game is so fucking boringThe entire enemy team just fucking free farms lanes while I have to eat scraps from the jungle because every single fucking time any of them ever appear on the map they have an invisible support shoved right up their ass to fucking instakill me for loading into the game, and any time they fucking don't the fucking 5 of them teleport across the fucking map in the blink of an eye to punish me for daring to attempt to fucking do ANYTHINGAnd that's all on the MIRACLE that I ever even have the fucking gold to even fight anyone because no matter who I fucking play, how much I fucking farm or what I fucking build I am ALWAYS behind, I ALWAYS have less gold and levels and items than people who have just ran around spending the entire fucking game BROOOLING and getting to have fun while I pop like a fucking grape and tickle people and never get to fucking do anything
>10 and 6 midlane going on killstreaks and accomplishing shit all game>8 and 14 me being completely useless and doing fucking nothing, getting completely outscaled and never contributing to any teamfight>We both end with the same goldMake it make senseMake it make fucking sense
they need to have an old timers tournament with old legends like dendi s4 puppey mason rtz zai rotk burning and those kinds guys
Why can't I have the Wyrmrought Flare floating animation with a different dressShe looks like a retard in zero-g in her normal animation but her other dresses look way nicer than the big glowing wings

>>577012785i might not leave a TI winner but im leaving a winner at something
Just one more game. This next one is gonna be a winner. I can feel it.
>>576937867this squirrel has grown on me
>>577014097the difference between out of game soulless furry pornstar and in game australian shitposter is staggering
Why isn't meepo the quintessential smurf/steamroll pick anymore?
lul, almost every game today I got fucking stomped. Loss queue sucks.
>>577014264well put
>>577014930because they nerfed him 80 times. valve prefers to design the game around various subhumans cheating and subverting the MMR system at all times rather than region lock certain problematic regions
>Have to first pick carry because my supports need to lastpick>My 5 pudge neer comes to laneWhy do you queue at 1am on a fucking sunday if you are not gonna play
Idk how to explain it. But it doesn't matter if you play the game well. Your account has a seed and it predetermines if you will lose the majority of your games or win.I have 3 accounts both at 10k behavior, I play the same hero with the same style every game. On one account I'm at 2 wins and 18 losses, on the other I am at 10 wins and 3 losses. The third one is sitting at a comfy 8 wins and 0 losses.Absolutely nothing matters in this game, you just log in, have fun, and if you're not having fun then log out. It's all scripted.
>>577016906well duh, its a free to play game, of course its rigged.
>>576967934Cuteranger!
Your position 1, sir.
>>577016906Your sample size is 20 games on 1 account, 13 on second and 8 on third. This is not enough to say anything. Try to play for 100 games at least on each account and watch how it will displace to ~50% winrate.
>>577018393well it seems that he just had a bad game, he's below his average on everything. you don't have bad games? let's see your game history
>>577018393>anime profile picWhat did you expect?
MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
I was herald 3 a months ago. I know it's just an average mmr, but for me it is big. Time to uninstall dota
>>577018393lmao you crusader faggot
>>576965812>last minute roster change>getting rid of tailung>buying into washed hypeFucking lmao, gonna bomb harder than the chinks roster with fy
WILL THE REAL WINDRANGER PLEASE STAND UP
Was riki every hard carry material?? Maybe when he could get invis at level 1. I miss that.
I REPEATWILL THE REAL WINDRANGER PLEASE STAND UP
valve adds another player and jungling is back does the game get better or worse
>>577019386>6v6Lmao, we deadlock now. And that game is already dead.
>>577019305Riki isn't a carry the same way antimage is a carry. Riki can pick up kills and be annoying and he provides good utility with his cloud, but 1v1 he loses to every single actual hard carry and in the late game even to some pos 4s. This is why you should play him mid, pos 1 Riki is troll pick (just like templar)
>>577019386if there's a dedicated jungler what supports gonna instead of stacking camps - just nothing? also what pos 1 gonna do, farm lane waves and die all the time?
>>577019371*cock doesnt get hard* were gonna have a problem here
Be proud to be outta your mind and outta control
ONE MORE TIME
(Loud as you can)
...how does it go?
let korean gacha artists redesign and remodel every hero and this game is alive again
marci needs no improvement
>>577019386>and jungling is backJungling has been "back" for 20 years nigga
>>577021301i mean as a dedicated role and not one of the 3 cores going afk jungle
Anyone but liquid winning TI is ok. Just hate Blitz and hope he dies.
>>577023697fy will win it and dota's comeback will start violently with china pouring money onto the game again
>>577021776>one of the 3 cores going afk jungle>oneHow bad is your rank nigga. In my 1k games all 10 players manage to jungle, lose all lanes and also lose to neutrals
My cores get really happy when i help them secure farm. This is my favorite method of euthanizing later if they make the slightest error

>>577023697if these niggers malrine and atf win a second TI I will kill myself not joking
"nudota sucks powercreep sucks" but it's like, imagine playing Drow with no multishot lol. "yes I want to autoattack creeps for 60 minutes"
>AM with script hack auto-cuts hoodwink trees before they're even cast>picture perfectly reflects every single spell>still loses like a dog and goes 3/13/2So he lacks basic motor functions and understanding of how to farm and fight, but he's a phenom at quelling trees and reflecting? Yeah right, nice one. The sorry state of these russian niggers, being so bad that you have to use cheats and you still lose.
>>577027475there was a solution to this back in the day, we just didnt play drow at all
>get a 6 game loss streak>whatever, gotta keep grinding>get a 10 game winstreak right after>fuck yeah we're getting somewhere>then I get a 6 game loss>offlane SB three times>a player I keep avoiding keeps showing on my games>gets shitted on mid 3 times in a rowSo this is the strength of forced 50/50
>play with (asian) buddy>lose game>buddy starts trash talking teammate>adds the teammates he blames on steam and starts insulting him in chat>leaves mean comment on profile>literally 10 minutes of "chill bro it's not worth it let's just queue next" >*bullshit excuse about teaching him a lesson or "it's okay because he ruined my game so I'm gonna [...]"I just want to play
Don't think him being "asian" really added anything to your story there
>>577029272What's wrong with Spiritbreaker offlane? Would you rather have a Necro that does absolutely nothing all game or a Dawnbreaker that turns into a powercreep after 20mins.
he's saying he's a pasty yt boi
lore rubick is a faggotnegative aura
I'm winning TI this year
>pro scene kept alive by betting site tournaments>community acts surprised when half of the pros are match fixing
>>577031054you just described all sports
>>576989752True I only rated LGD to get out of groups because TaiLung was the key player now that he's out I think even GamerLegion could take them on
is that nigga psg still alive? I fade in and out of this thread for months at a time
Ahahahahahah another 30 windranger comisisons are on the wayAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

hoodwink is so obviously some campo santo faggot's furry OC forced into the gamethe guy probably has neo pronouns tooperfectly emblematic of nu-dota
>>576965812dudes are pretending like finding a replacement 4 days before TI starts and having him fly to fucking china is easy

>>577036050More like>come on bro, just one match fixing, it won't hurt>hah good job retard, now we own you and if you don't keep doing what we do we'll expose you
>>577036210yeah could be that tooduring ewc it was soooo fucking obvious he was throwing games. i mean he couldve gone to pgl admins before it got out of hand maybe they wouldve given him a 1 year ban or so if he went by himself
I find it kind of hard to have impact with Largo, or recognize that i do. He is basicly the homeless version of leshrac but with healing.
I wonder if there's still niggas out here who believe in forced 50
>>577037489>>577037489Provided that all accounts are hardstuck at 51% or 49% yeah
>>577037773Yeah that's what's going to happen when you play at your skill level
>>577035330if it's ok to dream of marci every night, why wouldnt that be ok as well?

i cant go on another second without mirana in my bed
Anyone else completely check out of a game the moment an ally does something annoying? Like an ally would spam "well played!" and the laugh voice line when you do something they don't like (legitimate mistake or not) and I'd instantly stop caring about winning the game or trying hard.

How DO you counter a stove?
>>577045804i've tried to adapt the stove analogy and explain how stupid it is to engage certain characters head-on in other games but apparently the axe comic isn't common knowledge so i look like a buffoon
>>577045804refrain from touching it and you wont get burned
>>577046157Make edits of the stove comic with relevant characters

Why is Dark Seer played mostly as 3 and not as 4?
I really fucking hate, and am *tired* of those little bullshit things Icefraud added into the game, just because. Actually tired. It's so exasperating.You go play Tidehunter and all of a sudden there's these little fish items that drop from enemies, nobody else can use, but if you click on them and pick them up, it gives you some fucking retarded bullshit. Like, you know how they always make fun, and have always, on /v/, of item stats like 8% chance to apply 3 poison damage per second for 5 seconds if the enemy is under 20% HP, but only during dawn? It gives you attack range, HP, and I wanna say... damage? But it's like 3 attack range, 3 HP ad 1 damage or something. Totally fucking retarded busywork BULLSHIT. Because Tidehunter is a big eater and eats seafood, I guess. So that's his innate now. But that's not enough, this mechanic, if it was something thought out and intentional (no lol)—If the fish innate was something thought out, they're diluting it with fucking levelups because he also gets one for every second levelup, lol. And teammates are like pinging the fish, they're like, wow, dude, it's here for you! And it's barely worth the fucking walk there.Okay, it's 3 health, 2 attack range, and 1 bonus damage block. Fucking rofl. You might as well not bother with this shit at all, it's so garbage. But it's there, so I guess you have to. An extra chore for one of the most miniscule bonuses in the game. Just like that fucking Forager's Kit, man, here's some extra bullshit for you to do to get a 15% HP heal every minute, or whatever, because you might get gold or fucking nothing, I guess, stash 3 types of different mushrooms in your inventory so you have no space for anything else.
>>577049482And also: OH MY GOD TIDEHUNTER IS LE FUNNY FISH MAN OF EATING SEAFOOD MUST HAVE SOME GARBAGE RELATED TO THAT IN THE GAME WOULDN'T THAT BE SO FUNNY AND SOULFUL (no)
>>577049376he is strong with farm
>>577049482didn't read, you're mad cus bad. n00b.

bruh these people are so lame like fuck off
The dog voice line is worse than the cat voice line.
>>577053105This niggas name is actually Bagina.
>>577049482Retard. DOTA is all about building small advantages into a big problem.
>>577050440I'm probably better than all the people in this thread, unless Hoboharry's lurking.

Who is PSG? quick rundown?
Can someone explain to me what just happened? I was playing a game and believe it or not, there was a girl on my team. She was using her mic, making some basic comms like "bounty is missing"... etc. Anyways, some guys were being disrespectful to her and whenever she'd talk they'd start making noises on mic and type stuff like "get back in the kitchen" and "make me a sandwich". I told them to grow up and cut it out. They did. I told her that there is now nothing to worry about and that I'm here for her and she can feel safe to communicate and talk (she laughed), and she only said a few things after that all game. I ended up adding her to play, and then I think she blocked me??? what the heck? I was a gentleman, respectful, stood up for a woman, and now this? I am really confused.
>>577057201>I ended up adding her to play, and then I think she blocked meFuck off you white knight bitch. She's trying to play DOTA solo. Nice guy bitch energy is why you get blocked too.
>>577055176piss ess gee has to ask his wife permission to do thatand a second ask for cab fare
>AU 4k player>queue getting slow after midnight>fuck it lets queue SEA too how bad can it be>support duo is sniper and NP first picks>we lose in 20 mins to spirit breakernever again.
>>577057554nice guy bitch energy?? I stood up for her bro and was a man. I told those clown to grow up and stop. thats not being beta
>>577057935How is DOTA in Australia? I assume it's more dead than NA
>>577058261she saw you as weak and a beta sadly you gotta realize something its a women playing dota and using her mic add 1 plus 1 brother
>I'm a little squirr-https://vocaroo.com/1f5MYBrHKvHG
>>577058261>>577057201>what the heck? I was a gentleman, respectful, stood up for a woman, and now this?You're a nice guy bitch. You feel owed that she accepts your friend request because you stood up for her. The mute button already exists brother. She can mute them. You didn't do much. You're the de facto nice guy girls learn to avoid. Dumb bitch. I'm sorry she didn't want to become your DOTA discord kitten that you will protect always.
>>577058721Sex
Why is regen such a shitty gimped stat in every other assfaggots game aside from dota?
>>577058969It's hard to balance
>>577059150isn't it equally as hard to balance not having it though
>>577058375shallow at the top there's barely any immortal players but usually solid games very little griefing, just more imbalanced matchmaking divine 2 vs immortal top 1000 mid lane etc
>OD and Anti-Mage lane>I've picked one of the 4 heroes in the game with a slow-ass reactable projectile>The AM actually does damage in the early game for some reason instead of cowering in fear and hitting for less than a melee creep like when I play him>The Nature's Prophet camps the lane so I literally just have to sit there afk under the tower for a full minuteI uninstalledI'll just watch the carnival cutscenes on youtubeNo amount of free skins can keep me playing this dogshitHOW is this fun
>>577058969it makes support players upset
>>577058440weak and beta men do nothing, they're quiet and do what the big dogs like me say. I told them to be quiet, and they listened. >>577058916
>>577059471or they just don't want to argue with some arrogant retard lol
been playing a lot of bounty hunter and I rarely have a game where I feel weak. spamming track is so easy if you rush essence distiller, also some heroes just become so broken with his aghs shard.
>>577051996Dota 2 pros are notorious in how dogshit their music taste is.
>>577058721>pawpadsI can see Valve recognized their mistake and rectified the situation.
>>577059437offlane worst rolemostly tanky melee heroes (low variety)can't minmax the game by turbofarming like 1-2 and carrying hardbut can't exactly fightmax and focus on capturing map objectives early to set up a strong game like 4-5stuck in a faggot retard lane where you have to get levels/gold so you can absorb enemy cumshots in fightsill pass
>>577059437That AM slow is retarded, it makes ogre look like a fag. Until ogre beats the shit out of him

What about... Juggernaut offlane?
>>577067712>Called "Juggernaut">Is actually a squishy agility hero that attacks fast
>>577067879Yea I never got the name honestly
I had a support dazzle on my team that was female (pretty sure) using voice chat. My Earth Spirit kept trolling her by kicking her into the enemy team. She kinda had a melty and I report the ES, but I really couldnt say much because I was already comms muted.
>>577049482>things Icefraud addedyeah... about that...
>ask for help>nobody comes>lose>"jaja noob mid ptmr"i actively threw after that, and yet, did literally nothing wrong
>>577069442>actively threw>dindu muffin
>>577061734its by far the hardest role to play in the game currently and it isnt even really a close second
>>577069535the reason i was getting no help was because by the time i was hitting 6 each other lane was already pushing double digit deaths without me even realizing. there was not a single thing for me to do but help the game end sooner
>>577051996dota and rap music cant name a more iconic duo to crash out too
>some dipshit named andrewevans46 on my team>immediately tell him to go die in a hole before the game starts because I know he's gonna be trash>he says "??">I bully him mericlessly until I get perma-muted>my suspicion is confirmed he's 0/5/8 with his dipshit jungler Pitlord>he gets reported by everyone>my behavior score stays the sameI can smell a steaming hot pile of shit from a mile away. I don't even need to check dotabuff or profiles. Fuck all these tourist faggots that are here to blow off steam with 1-2 games after a long day in the amazon warehouse, they all deserve to die.
why do we have to play with peruvians and russians why cant there be a first world queue thats english only or whatever euro language...
>>577071220euro language you mean just english
>>577071313I guess they all speak english when they play, but i mean germans shouild play with other germans, french with other french, that kind of thing
>>577071220All they need to do is add a "wrong language" report
I could have sworn they had a language lock and region lock for a month or so but reddit complained it was racist or something am i losing my mind or what this was years ago
>>577071990what would that change?
>>577072273just have enough automatically change their region without telling them
>>577072224yeah my games were really good in that time framecooperation and communicationthen quinn had to cry on reddit
Western servers would literally collapse into 20-minute queue times and dead lobbies if developing nations didn't carry this entire game on their backs.While NA and WEU players sit around crying about "toxic teammates" and waiting for 100GB patch downloads on their $3,000 rigs, someone in a 104°F internet café in Lima or Manila is currently executing a flawless 5-man Black Hole on a CRT monitor while paying $0.20 an hour.You play Dota for "fun" after work. They play Dota because the power grid is stable for the next three hours and mechanically outplaying you is a fundamental lifestyle. Strip away SA, SEA, and CIS, and Dota isn't a competitive esport anymore....it’s just a glorified chatroom for retired boomers missing 2015.

>>577073297Aura
>>577073297Except 99% of them are trash and have super low IQ. 5 out of 100 000 peruvian players will go pro. 10 out of 10 000 white players will go pro.That's like saying not all niggers are bad and we need them in the USA. 99% of them are bad.
>>577073824>10 out of 10 000 white players will go pro.source?
>>577072454Why did he do that?
>>577073297hm then why are the top players for (literally all) games are from nations with an average iq above 85a lessers only 'out' of his shit encrusted hovel is to hopelessly flounder in a game he barely understands, which is the real reason they grind a game like this. even the lowest slavnigger completely owns the brown in both mechanical skill and standard of living
>>577073297Sir do you have a licence for carrying trvthnvke weaponry of this grade?
>>577073297I'd rather have dead lobbies than a shambling corpse puppeteered by trash
>>577073297i just thought about it but it must be hell to be some filipino or indonesian or peruvian or middle easterner what playing dota all day in a netcafe. arent those countries mad hot and humid. is the AC even enough? with all those computers running in that cramped dark space
>>577076059Probably not but I guess that's just a part of the experience
>>577073297I'd gladly wait 20 minutes to get into a game where everyone speaks english and is white
TaiLung is just a 17 years old kid he probably got peer pressured give him another chance after a 6 months ban or something
>>577073297Russians.
I know how we can win! Let's just keep running into them one by one until our lead disappears
>>5770766756 months is a little to short a year or 2 but a lifetime ban is nasty work for a 17 year old that didnt know any better that was tryna run up a check
>>577077768exactly it's not like he was a tenured guy in the scene like darkmago just a teenager some older peruvian streamer egged him on and said yeah youre gonna make mad money right quick he bought into it. bro deserves a second chance
>>576952008T4 items are the only ones that are kind of good with a dormant boost.
>>576952008Most def but people in pubs can't really gage when a game is going long so in their case it's notbut if both teams have greedy lineups and no throwers it can easily go to 70min nowadays. Just imagine a Conjurer Catalyst with 3rd Curio, it makes it worth it
remove the greedy enchantment already
>>577000336I WANT TO MARRY SHEEVER
>>577078590Nah bro i need my 30min aghs on 5
>>577073297Sad third worlder cope lmao
A few days ago my friend was shitting on dota and making fun of it and I said to him "I think the only reason you never liked it was because you weren't that good man". Now he won't talk to me and its been almost a week what do, was I a prick or is he being a little baby
should kunkka be built for tidebringer damage and tankiness or cc, slight damage and tankiness? i usually go radiance, aghs, bkb and shiva and I love to take the torrent duration talent. is this a valid way of playing or should i just go full tidebringer?
>>577073297The only reason White people stopped playing this game is because brown keep playing on White servers
>>577079252Are you core or (greedy) support?
>>577079603>pick europe west>all ruskies>communicating in russian>shouting at you for not understanding them >lose the game and report you for it
thanks for the (yous) lmfao
>>577079665If you mean that core requires damage and not having it is feeding, I tend to get pretty decent damage output with base tidebringer, radiance and ships + torrents. If you meant if i play kunkka as support, no.
>>577079826this image is ai
Next hero is Hades
>>577079935Core Kunkka goes all in on Tidebringer with Daedalus and Shadowblade. Not Radiance, not Agh's and not Shiva's. He may make utility like Nullifier or Halberd. He's a one-hit wonder and you want Dormant Curio Giant's Maul.
>>577079252radiance is a stay in and fight option + farming with the aoe damage and evasion, kunkka doesnt really work with that as the other anon said you want fat crits and quick in an outs, good positioning for big tidebringers in teamfights. blink dagger helps a lot.tidebringer + torrent is enough to farm campsideally pull 2 camps with the first tidebringer (phase boots and lvl 4 tidebringer helps) run towards the second camp and try to cleave them all againpersonally don't like the tidebringer slow talent for this reason, throws off the timing to stack and destroy camps
>>577079769I really don't understand why rusnigs are allowed to play on EUW
Why are people drawing words on the map instead of saying anything

guys we should all post something funny in masons chat at the same time heheheh xD
>>577084975Get off that man dick
Healing.
Parted ways with an expensive courier I had and now I kinda miss it
>>577084957No chance. They'll play on some high end gaming PCs to make sure everything is smooth as butter. I'm sure that Valve has some sort of recording program running on the computers while they play.
i love when my dusa has manta and skadi at 30 minutes and deals less damage than the enemy supports
>>577086992WHAT THESE LOSERS DONT KNOW IS YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE BRAWLING ALWAYS WITH THAT BUILDPROS STARTED DOING IT AND MADE THAT GUIDE META WHICH BAITRAPES EVERY LOWER RANK MEDUSA

really just take away cis and what's left of the comp scene
>>577082581I played literally every in the game at least once.I would never EVER touch puck again.
Can I play Kez efficiently with only using his katana? I don't like the double dagger shit.
I will dedicate my 2200th win to my wife, Hoodwink.
So what did tailung do exactly
>>577092226You're not allowed to know
>>577092226didnt perform with the integrity expected of a dota2 pro
what happened to the thread bully? is he taking a break till TI starts?
>>577094279Out mogged by Augar.
>>577094279He's still here and starts seething whenever someone reminds him of the Real Techies.

>win matches i'm supposed to lose based on my performance>lose matches i'm supposed to win based on my performance
>>577094613For me, it was the tree clusters between lane and the large camp, the support would always wander through it. Even remember how you had to consider the health pool and armor of them and of the carry, like how ogre needed like twice as many mines as rubick or cm, and how antimage and jugg could get one hit killed by a cheeky rank two suicide squad attack god I fucking miss the Real Techies.
I want to start picking pudge offlane but he's first pick/ban in EVERY single game
>>577096024He seems like a better pos 4. But you're gonna have trouble picking him. Because being able to pull a hero out of position with 0 consequences is understandably recognized as OP.
>>577093749hopefullyu kill urself topson
>>577094613Yep this was the best, damn I forgot about that. Like 2 level 1 mines could kill someone. I'd play dota again just for techies.

>>57709849710.5 hours a day of dota 2, how is that possible.
I dedicate my 2200th win to my wife, Hoodwink.Love you, babe.
>>577101384you got carried by a monkey king who went 17-1, you suck and have a rotted brain from being a dumb ass furry, nonce, and spamming/playing dota 12 hours a day. i guess its better you're not out in public
>>577094279He's back >>577101612
>>577101710huh? this is the thread bully>>577094543
im not the "thread bully" theres no such thing, it sounds like something a child would make up. i guess this furry is mentally one so it makes sense. >>577101710nope
>>577092226nothing that deserved a perma ban considering his age and context of this situation 1 or 2 years was enough
>>577103489Nah, that just means you need to make enough money to make the vacation worth your time.Permanent ban is perfectly reasonable.
>>577102086But that guy obviously likes the Real Techies? The thread bully hates the Real Techies, everyone knows this.
>>577104023if he does it again you just perma ban him but you dont kill off a 17 year old career like this when he was possibly influenced by people much older then him this isn't darkmago like context matters
Old techies was fun. Nu techies is weird.
>>577101384Based! Good job!
>>577090738nukez is 90% katana gameplay just using dag ult sometimes
>>577104685No, then that just means that every "don't give him jail time he has a bright future ahead of him pls" pro player engaging in matchfixing gets to get caught matchfixing twice before getting perma'd.So it just means that the optimal strategy for a kid wanting to make some money before leaving for a new game can fuck shit up all he wants for at least two tournaments, and the "bad influences" you blame now have a viable strategy of being able to go around and force big bets/wins per pro player they can get their hands on and the pro player has less incentive to say no because they get a freebie on cheating.Shit like this, you slam the hammer down hard so there are zero options or moneymaking strategies. No ifs or buts about it. Anybody suggesting or arguing otherwise is not objective and/or retarded (see: not objective).

Wait did valve actually remove techies and ruin the hero because Reddit of all places complained?
>>577106173Yes.Reddit also killed TI battlepasses.
>>577106173they also killed tinker
>>577106384Did they really? I could have sworn they are complaining that valve got rid of it. why did they ruin that too??
>>577106491They insisted that battlepasses having fomo hats was predatory and unfair also they convinced pros that people bought battlepasses for their sake so they started pushing for a higher cut in the prizepool and Valve said fuck it and killed battlepasses and created the shitty supporter compendiums just to show the pros how much people actually care about their paycheck.
>>577106173Absolutely nobody liked playing with or against techies.You think you do, but you don't.
>>577105218he is receiving jail time its called the 2 year ban and you take this by a case by case bases can we be provided proof by PGL of the games that they are 100% sure he 322 in people are very quick to blame a teenager
>>577107024You can keep arguing about how it shouldn't be permanent with your AI chatbot. I'm not going to waste time in a pointless debate about this with you and your chatbot.
>>577106971i definitely did
>>577106971I did, it was fun and also really easy
>>577106695Wrong. Valve doesn't give a shit about that.>>577106491Reddit did have a hand in killing battlepasses but it was mainly because of the saudi prince incident where some rich kid showed off having a battlepass with like several million levels. Then they bragged about how it was so hard to redeem all the regular rewards so they had some servants click the redeem button for several weeks when they're not admiring their hats. At first Reddit was excited to talk to a rich person but it quickly descended into chaos with people with political agendas and people just appalled at the waste of money coming together to shit on the guy and spreading the drama to other subreddits.Valve shut down the battlepasses shortly after, with that comment about how 99% of the population never pays for the battlepass. At a glance it's an obvious fact. Most f2p games are funded by the 1% of whales who spend money on the game while the remaining 99% are f2p. But given the saudi prince incident and the large prize pools, the implication was that it wasn't the 1% funding the battlepasses but 1 guy. Assuming Reddit didn't chase away the guy from Dota forever, the moment the guy does lose interest and stop buying excessive battlepass levels, the prize pool would drop overnight. The incident made Valve take a good look at the e-sports bubble, so they pulled out before it burst and they had to deal with the fallout. Most of the "Valve hates money / Valve hates e-sports players" emotional rhetoric comes from shit-stirrers and scene people who want Valve to put in more money for them to take. Valve is very Jewish and sometimes too data driven, but they do care about Dota (more than their other IPs). They didn't stop battlepasses and kill the TI prize pool on a whim. They saw the writing on the wall and chose to cut losses and move onto a different approach.

>>577113176yep they ruined dota i feel like im swinging a pool noodle when im hitting people now
>>577112201Hoodwink
In old dota, you could win a lane by being strategic in your placement, hiding in the trees and hitting another guy and stuff and forcing them to use all their regen and stuff now everyone has 1000 regen and a courier so laning doesnt even matter
old dota was so much better it required so much more skill and brain power 2014-2015 peak game and then valve ruined it and reddit too the game was far much better and stuff seriously its not a good game that much anymore just average
>>577114964old techies didn't require any sort of skill though?
Dota is always evolving and that's a good thing. Keeps the game fresh.
>>577115397It did, you had to use your brain to play the hero. If you put mines in the same spots as everyone you'd just get them destrotyed.
>event done>smelter doneWow, these are useless now.
Dota is always appealing to braindead support troon mains and redditor cuckolds and thats a good thing. Keeps the game fresh.
>>577115660It didn't require any skill.
>>577115697Oh I completely forgot about the smelter. I haven't even started on that.
>>577115852it required tons of skill bro what are u talkin about.

>>577117236poor people 10 years ago couldn't afford a pc that played dota 2 so they played league of lesbians instead
>>577117236mobile games nowadays look better than league of legend and a high end phone would probably run league of legends at 240fps locked if it had an arm version today
im so tempted to reinstall convince me if i should or shouldnt its been 2 years
>>577116708did it look like the shadow demon was having fun
>>577117717dota 2 is an amazing game, in fact, if you decide that gaming would be a hobby of yours dota 2 would be one of the best choices to invest in as the game is fun forever and likely won't die in our lifetime, far more enjoyable than playing single player games or other competitive games BUT you have to have the mindset of someone who tries to get better because the games at higher mmr are more enjoyable than the ones at low mmr and you also need to behave because the low behaviour score games suck
>>577118025so tempted... damnit, im gonna install overnight and just play some bot lobbies to get back into it.

No it was because of that hero actually
It seems funny that the ban for tailung is lifetime; what is the average age of a dota player? It seems this game's pro scene won't be getting any younger as a result of various recent volvo decisions with the game.
>>577127861it is good to ban cheaters, actually

>>577134334d2g now is way more casual and friendly
>>577130316I know that you're lying. You must be absolutely dogshit at this game to get low prio, and I mean DOGSHIT. I insult people and tell them to kill themselves every single game and very often get perma-muted for the rest of the game. This has been my routine in the last 40 games, I bully the life out of everyone and insult them with no remorse. Behavior score actually went up. Because my stats are still solid and I join teamfights, save people, ward, deward, buy team items, push and take control of the map. You are definitely griefing and staying in jungle/fountain all game.
>>577134334NIGGA plsI mainly spam pictures of Windranger, don't group me with those "dota losers"
>>577134423I have all comms muted. I'm also smurfing down into archon because I wanted to raise the mmr on my old account. I played my games like normal. I have no clue why I got reported because I play through my games and never grief. Someone blamed me for a loss even though it 100% wasn't my fault.
Communicating with your team is highly overrated in all brackets of the game. Typically you can't trust your team's macro calls below 6k mmr anyway. And even after that pings, wheel commands and just one-sided chatting is more than enough.
>>577135589nah for some arcane reason nobody reads tormentor and rosh pings but they read torm and rs
dead game
>>577137776That's because you're in trench. if team doesn't want to go tormentor (doesn't see value in it), they won't go there even if you scream in the mic. Play around it or just ping and chat a bit, even one-sided communication is enough.
>>577138117i'm immo
>>577138181If you ping tormentor and draw an arrow and stuff like that it's enough? Enough for me.
Love how people in unranked think they're entitled to "farm" and wards. No chance little buddy, go throw your hissy fit and feed in mid.

>>577143394whats the plan now? Continue spamming him, retire from dota, learn new heroes? I imagine your teammates aren't gonna be happy once their teammates suddenly drops 1k mmr because he's not on Zeus

what does largo even do bro
>>577134423It's kinda pathetic and sad how you jumped on this guy's post to boast about your verbal abuse antics. You need to grow up and fast, if you're like this in front of a computer what kind of freak are you irl lol
>>577134964>Smurfing>Still getting low priorityMan, you are like a double faggot or something.
Game design idea: Remove Refresher Shard from Roshan's item drops and add it on the tormentor. Now you have a more consistently impactul item to get from tormentor rather than just a random aghanim shard effect.
>>577145118no
>>577144805i'll do you one better: what does MARCI do?
>>577134964I stopped playing in 2019 and recently I got in my account because of TI hype. Was archon and got into divine in 1 month of playing a couple games a day. How dogshit are you?
>>577145118This likely wouldn't change much in pubs, but might make pro games more snowbally.
>>577128163He's scripting just like all of these South American players
Honestly the biggest 322 of the recent years for me is Tundra losing a bo5 3-2 against Tidebound at last year's Clavision Snow Ruyi in chinabet this wont get investigated though cause tundra is an epic european team!

The problem is that the retard was too stupid to actually feed it to Gyro and he fed it to Timbersaw who I just ran to and took them for me in the span of a minute. Everyone was clowning him and he stopped coms completely.Hilarious how retards can't even grief properly.

>>577146935Nah I had money on tidebound because the odds were crazy that's what I'm saying though
>>577147331a real life dota gambler in the flesh, didnt think your kind would browse /d2g/. How much are you up/down lifetime?
>>577143394Not really, many immortals are one trick ponies. I have a friend that is rank 4000 and he spams Phoenix. There's also the guy who is famous for ONLY playing techies or that other dude who only plays kunkka.Hell, even tons of pros are one trick ponies, mainly offlane players. See Ammar, he rose to fame for being the best Timbersaw and Mars around and it's kind of incredible that every other team didn't think of banning both of them for years.Small hero pools allow for specialization but lack flexibility.
>>577147530I don't compulsively gamble on dota I just place a few bets per tourney when there's good odds and I can see an upset. It started with sports gambling on football (soccer) when I was a teen, pool halls, the casino near where I live irl. Over time I can definitely say I'm up because I've known when to pull out since my teens but I definitely took big Ls over the years, mostly over private poker games. If we're talking dota only, I'm definitely up by a lot
Even reddit hates Shartour now.
>>577150196>If we're talking dota only, I'm definitely up by a loteven 10x $100 is only $1000i doubt you've done that well
Hoping for some 322 at TI just so valve ends it all.

>>577155921Fun is independant from how good the hero is
>>577153226I think it's because gambling is stronger in CS. So it's less excitement over the game and players but more about the gambling.
Why is a 48% winrate perfectly balanced but a 52% winrate means the hero's broken?
>>577156985it's easier to lose than to win

>>577163618>perma invs hero is not for late gamei refuse to believe it

>>577118716>CMworks for me, dawgand im the same rank, soon legend 5climbed out from archon 1 spamming her and treant in a week
>>577160920Doesn't work anymore and even still, it's a dogshit hero to go into the lategame.Riki is one of those carries that you are supposed to win your lane because you have extremely easy denies, two escape mechanisms and one of the best silences early game.You are supposed to hunt down their carries and supports early game and make the enemy so paranoid that they'll spend all their money in detection. Then in midgame you win because in every teamfight they are forced to fight 4v5 or 3v5 even because you delete heroes in seconds.But if you drag the game long enough so the enemy team gets bkbs, multiple forcestaffs or ways to lock you down, you are useless.It's one of those carries which is extremely situational and serves as a counter to AM or Ember, which are hardly picked in higher ranks anyways.
>>577164151Yeah he's invisible
Man they really don't give a shit this year, can't even do the bare minimum and tell people where to watch

Does anyone have any good resources for learning POS 3? I keep coming across 10 minute videos "ok here's how you offlane um buy blink dagger and stun txh for watching" while POS 4 and 5 have a wealth of endless videos "how to itemize" "how to rotate" "how to lane"
>>577166626You're a core. You win your lane, make the enemy carry miserable, and farm so you can continue making the enemy carry miserable. You can't waste time running around with the supports.The first 10 minutes are some of the most important for you so master playing your lane.

>kill offlaner>he comes back with more items and levels than me>kill offlaner>he comes back with more items and levels than me>offlaner has radiance and is 3 levels above me>he has 0 kills and 2 assistsI fucking hate this Valve faggotry that rewards faggots for playing like faggots. Imagine doing absolutely nothing all game and being rewarded for it. We still won, but it's the notion that NOTHING MATTERS in this faggot game that pisses me off. Kills don't matter, assists don't matter, it's all just a circus. Play like shit, get your free xp/gpm.
I am re-installing for TI, havent played in over 6 years. Can you still snowball mid and 1v9? I wanna play storm or TA and shit on kids.
>>577169224Sure, why not.
>>577169224No, it's support meta. You will get annihilated by chainstuns, silences and slows and if you try to jungle you'll get 4x reported and low prio. All the best players are now pos4&5 and exist solely to make your live a living hell.
>>577169038Maybe you're just doing it wrong or outskilled. Can't really help you without a replay.
>>577169038Things that literally never happened
>>577169476It's just the built-in feature where the game grants the losing team extra xp and gold. Not really skill related. Just an obnoxious and dumb feature which prolongs the games to 60mins for no reason.
>>576973896>not exclusively using OG unreal mega kills announcerregular announcer i change but not the classic
>>577169224Mid and carry are the most important roles, you can solo win just about any game as long as you're better than the enemy mid/carry.Ta is a carry now, no one plays her mid.
>>577169623Memeback ended 10+ years ago, and jungle creep gold and exp was nerfed just as long ago too. If you're getting outfarmed after a won lane, unless the offlaner went and got a rampage, it is probably your farming efficiency that is the issue.
>>577169224>havent played in over 6 years>I wanna play storm or TA and shit on kids.People can still snowball mid. You can't tho. You're going to feed.
>>577169664yep og mega kill is bestswitch between krobelus & adam jensen and one more I can't remember
>>577167659>The first 10 minutes are some of the most important for you so master playing your lane.I really struggle with the laning phase, if I go in to harass I get jumped by creeps and the enemy lane 2v1 me, but if I try to focus on last hitting only my POS 4 gets upset and tries to starts fights and dies off to the side. I think my issue is the laning phase because I have the inverse of this guy >577169038 where I'm the offlaner but no matter how long I'm in the jungle I get no stronger and I never feel strong enough to fight
>>577171821It's fine if you lose your lane and your t1 tower sometimes it's even a good thing it means you can establish an efficient farming pattern with your triangle, the lane creeps close to your t2 and the two camps on the edge of the mapdespite what trenchlords stuck in 2017 might say about the offlane it's played like a carry now. just play for your items sure you can join fights but don't run around the map it's inefficient
>have some slark mid>he tells us he plays solo>turns an early 16-3 into 22-23 >tells us we need wards >this nigga diving straight 1vs5 in full vision multiple times to maybe kill a support
>>577173004its the classic "earlygame pubstomper doesnt know when to pump the fucking brakes" maneuver. i can always count on randos to go 11-2 by 15 minutes and then end 13-15 because they never stop thinking they can just walk at the enemy team and get away with it
>>577173463Im also pretty low mmr so this is pretty common. By far the most common is brown boot radi necro showing up ready to end in that outfit regardless of his radiance timing, it can be 49 minutes, he is gonna dive. Yesterday one expert necro player dived my entire team top two times in a row, alone with the relic only thinking it was close enough.Thinking back i never used to die much in Dota, maybe 5-7 times if it was bad. Now i die like 10-20 times every game. It just feels like the endgame begins at the 12min mark. Theres always someone on a powerspike that sometimes can end that early, but at this point in most games from here on out its just one team trying to figure out how to take towers and the other team 5 manning a few jungle camps.
>>577171821You need to go into lane with a plan to kill everyone and win it. To quote TF2 Sniper, "Always have a plan to kill everyone you meet". You need to keep in mind what conditions you need to secure a kill, and try to set up the lane to make it happen. It's not just "I harass but ehh whatever", it's "I harass because the kill threshold for a combo with me and my pos 4 is 247 HP and I need to get them below that before lv 3". If it's a hard lane and you can't force a kill, you should still try to set it up so that you can go in for a kill ASAP when the timing is right, or the enemy players fuck up. Nobody's going to play perfectly. But you need to be able to at least know how to punish fuckups. Can't just show up to a lane to vibefarm. You're there to kill each other. So your hero pick should be made in consideration with how you're going to win the lane and later, the game. And more specifically, how you and your pos 4 will kill the enemy pos 1 and 5.And that's just for kills. You have to keep farm and last hits in mind too so that you can decide when to leave to stack a camp or just clear a camp, etc. and gauge how/when you'll finish your blink or other first item so you can start rolling faces with your powerspike.
whoa nice
>>577166237perfect viewer focused experience? the action is all first person which is the worst way to view it>inb4 the replay cam can be 3rd person!yeah something they replay after the action has happenednot a single traditional sport is film first person, because its a shit experience for the 3rd party viewer
this game is boring all you do is hit creeps
>>577177945not true. you can have sex with hoodwink, also.
what compels a nygga to pick nyx 3
>>577177338it has the biggest mass appeal possible thats what I meant, its literlaly just some dudes shooting a gun, everyone can follow it. Contrast that with dota you need to actually understand what heroes do and how the game is played, meanwhile everyone can understand the general state of a cs game even if they have like 0 hours in the game
Helena looking extra good today turned on my resub
>>577179778just because its simple doesnt mean its a good spectator sportthe other anon hit the nail on the head, its a great gambla sport and therefore has notoriety around it
>>577179974but CS is a great spectator esport, contrast any cs major to a dota major, it sells out arenas, the crowd goes wild and actually cheers for moment to moment gameplay, teams have actual fanbases behind them. People enjoy the act of watching CS and both stream numbers + ticket sales support that claim
BOW BEFORE MY AUTISM POWERS
>>577180394got some figures to back up those tall claims?it wouldnt surprise me at all to see degenerate gamblers in the stands ready to beat up someone who lost them money
>>577180424unironically how autistic do you have to be to play that much of 1 hero and not get bored of repetition
>>577180593literally just use googlehttps://escharts.com/games/csgohttps://escharts.com/games/dota2cs2 esports was about 10x as popular as dota2 esports this year

>>577181481>don't play core>game is all about making sure your cores can hit creepswooooow so fun
>>577181369>csgo never had a tournament at the lanuhhh cs sissies???
>start spamming marci again>this is the resultle balanced anime nu-dota female characteralso I don't feel even slightly guilty, I played against a kotl that rushed dagon not too long ago, people are farming mmr left and right and I feel like I am allowed to do the same, also Marci isn't even a guaranteed win either and there's nothing really extremely overpowered about her to the point of having to feel bad for picking hermaybe it's a cope but I don't care
What do you get from the smelter? I completely forgot about it
>>577181542idk go play smite 2 or hots then lol brother i cant help you at this point
slark is the closest thing dota has to a femboy
>get into match>retard picks PA when he got marked offlane>walks to safe lane with no items>dies and instantly disconnects>game counts>lossYou cannot tell me this isn't some sort of rigged shit or an mmr trader.
>>577181659you can give it like 10 tickets for 1 seeing stone just in case you really want to make sure you get the ugliest ringmaster set of all time
>>577179830Lol really all it takes did she at least acknowledge you
>>577155261Ogre Magi is BUILT for turbo.
>>577182536had one like this last time, guy is marked for pos4, first picks jugg, goes straight jungling from lvl1. the best is just to wait for the game to end and hope the enemy team can end fast
>>577182536>>577184518These are bots sent by Gaben made to motivate you to buy Dota+.
>>577177945>play support>hit heroes insteadit's just that simple
Sex with Slark.
can you even do gimmick builds anymore, i used to do midas, mask of madness basher on ogre and destroy kids in the ancient bracket, im archon now and these kinds of builds dont even work anymore. u have to build meta items and stuff its boring
>>577186267Everyone has gotten better at the game and stomping shitters requires more than a niche build.
how can i calibrate in herald or whatever the lowest rank is, all I want to do is stupid, fun builds and have a good time. i dont want to buy a bkb on PA, i want to buy a rapier instead
>>577187179Play Turbo? Or unranked?
>>577184929the jugg wasnt a bot since he was typing, voice chatting and tipping people, as well as rage buying back. according to his profile he has 3.7k games, 434 of which in single draft, and a 47% wr in solo queue (53% in party q, to balance it out). his steam profile comment box is full of vitriol about his behavior in games. just a fucking freak who would be banned from ranked at the very least
>>577187591The tech grows sophisticated. But Dota+. Or you will see him again.
>>577187717the issue is that i have d+ but never really bought additional slots so i often get premuted ppl so griefers that were avoided but cycled out
>>5771879031,750,000 Shards. Chop chop.
>>577180424Congrats Anon. Now you're part of the cool kids club where you get 500 million pubs bitching you out for not carrying every game despite having the arcana.

>>577121309i've noticed racism is a popular pastime in many brics countries and they will call people "the n-word" for laughs. that is until you turn the tables on them and make some scathing observations about their cultures (without using a single slur) and they will unironically call you racist

>>576972297Watched your game. It just seems like you guys had a 4p1 comp that didn't do a good job of protecting the 1 so whenever a teamfight starts, SB would charge in, then run out, and you Visage and Lion would scatter because you're squishy and then Luna eats shit because she's the only one left. You guys had a great ganking line-up so you should've kept ganking instead of farming too long for FV to finish and come join fights. The enemy team had huge bulk and Luna (and maybe Lion) was the only one who was going to right-click them down so Luna needed fucktons more farm, and you guys needed to keep disrupting their farm more to buy time for Luna.Some minor things that didn't change the game outcome:- You were kind of passive in lane. You got several kills but you could've gotten more because that Lina was retarded. You had all the bullying power but you squandered it a bit. Also you barely touched Bristleback all lane. Lina was obviously retarded and scared of you so you should've pumped more kills on her and/or swapped to the other side and bullied BB harder after chasing Lina out.- You were afk farming too much IMO. Sure you needed items and shit but you only got mobility items in the end that didn't really help you get away from Viper and FV. Doesn't mean mobility items were bad but the trade-off of afk farming and letting the enemy FV farm was not worth it. This goes back to my comment about you guys farming too much. After you got blink you should've kept up the pressure as a team and made the enemy team miserable and persistently down/split up but you can't do that by yourself.I'd say you lost because 50% draft, 25% Luna being retarded getting a Butterfly instead of BKB and Lion being retarded, and 25% you guys being too passive.
