why do top linas refuse to take stun early? must have been 2 times artour's opponent could have killed him had he had stun
>>
>>577195416
Delay makes it unreliable, I suppose.
>>
>>577195416
They'd rather farm and trade right-clicks instead of going for a stun that is going to be dodged 90% of the time.
>>
I haven't spoken to my online friend in two months because all he does is play this game all night after getting home from work. Just non-stop turbo queues.

esl thirdie obsessed by topson
>>
>>577195958
Are you talking about the 10% who will get stunned or the 90% of stuns that miss?

Anyway, context still matters. RTZ was probably standing in whatever position that he could've been stunned in and got away specifically because he knew there was no stun coming. If he knew they had a stun he wouldn't have been there in the first place. Or the trades that happened up to that point would've been different leading to a different situation altogether. These situations and early game laning strats don't happen in a vacuum.

i wonder how many niggas are aware that the average peruvian earns about 400-500 dollars per month, tailung was earning more than 5k dollars per month and on top of it he had high chances of earning even more in better teams
this 322 is peak below 2 digits iq or straight up jewness no jew in history has ever reached. LGD went beyond that hypothetical retardation by searching his private phone as if someone who is deep into the 322 mafia would use his main phone to communicate with his boss lmao
also everyone is calling him out with the harshest words they can come up with like trying their hardest to be seen as virtuous good guys
the situation is very strange and i dont think he did it for money he probably got blackmailed with something really shameful or something

>>577227324
that would be very easy to make actually, no one would do it because you can't profit off of it, it would have to be a community collaborative work but, if you teach everyone how to play dota suddenly all the games become way harder to win too so it's not going to happen
I have about 300GB off of dota 2 videos from pros that were hosted in this danish site a few years ago teaching aspects of dota, if I had the hardware I could train an AI to study them and summarize everything answer my questions, even as I play, tell me what to do, etc, it's doable
>>
It's probably a few years away when you just run an overlay program or some headset powered by AI that just tells you what to do for every move.

Like you're laning and it just tells you what to do... hit the hero, deny the creep, go for the last hit, im sure it wouldnt be that hard to do.
>>
Tells you what hero to pick, tells you which lane to go, tells you what items to get, what skill build, where to go on the map, your probability of getting ganked, where the enemy could be farming, when to use spells and ult, maps you the perfect farming pattern.
>>
>>577227808
you're also not a toddler so you dont need to be spoonfed that hard, the AI benefit would be telling you what item to build next because enemy is build XYZ itens, etc
you can also learn to play the game which is much better, but AI would be an amazing training tool to git gud at the game, for sure
>>
>Secret shop is literally aliexpress shit

>>577226007

what "killed" dota was the pandemic and then the russian war, dota needs a big stadium and a big prizepool to get attention outside our community and the pandemic killed it
and then the russian war, dota has always be a majority russian game, and the europeans can't stop whining about russians for the last 5 years while doing everything they can to keep this war going
and then we had something really weird which is dota doesn't make new celebrities, we're still on the back of arteezy and topson after all these years, miracle- disappeared, yapzor disappeared, puppey is washed and never streamed, the pro scene has no faces that would attract sponsorships because everyone that is good at the game and young is russian
we really need this stupid war to end and then I think dota can totally pick itself up, valve can relaunch the battlepass
the game itself is still one of the most fun games ever made, it's competitive, there's lots of tension when you play it, it's exciting

esports proved to not be a sustainable business practice, whats the point of sustaining a whole industry with profits you make from other ventures when you get basically close to no return from it and many of the people in said industry are directly antagonistic towards you?

no it's not "arc warden / weaver" it's just weaver
nobody comes close to weaver
the universe of dota 2 exists because weaver wants it to, literally. His lore is that the other weavers wanted him to keep working on repairing the main timeline but he said no i'm going to make my own timeline with blackjack and hookers and that's the timeline where the dota 2 multiverse started
the ancients are isopods in weaver's terrarium

I don't get why some heroes are allowed to shit on everything like that.
Like cool epic the ferrari demon bat with AOE silence around him, a shitton of HP/damage and flying vision can also fly over trees and cliffs so you can't catch him after he blinked on your supports and murdered them.
Meanwhile I'm playing an ice mage that moves at the speed of a glacier and whose ultimate will be instantly interrupted by 60% of the hero pool unless I farm a blink bkb and aghs and even then I can get bashed out of it. I have a passive that will block damage from half an auto attack every time I cast a spell, nice! Epic! Oh dang here comes the demon bats he two-shot me again, cool.

How is this shit fair? How can anyone be expected to reliably win games unless they're playing those kind of heroes that require unreasonable team coordination (at low elo) to be countered?

can only speak for myself but I don't think the current state dota and the dota scene is worthy of such a big prize pool.
back then for me dota was the ultimate test of team strategy, and _the_ competition, and it had the personalities to back it up

now counter-strike has kind of taken that spot for me. I think their developers over the years were clever and didn't tinker with the formula too much

I really don't know what you're on about but you sound like you don't even play. Refer to the official statistics and data, the last 12 months have been very strong for Dota 2 in terms of numbers and profit. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean the product is officially bankrupt.

It's the same as crying about classic WoW being peak, no one cares, retail is racking up numbers and profit. You're but a fart in the wind to them.

generally I think people who think they're too good for glossy bling bling shit in video games are being stupid, it's a game, you can be tacky and brass, no need to be a snob
on the other hand it gets really fucking excessive when every slot on a hero has particles
then on the other other hand I barely even care about most hero designs in the game, they're ugly and lame, so might as well dress them up so I can't seem them anymore on the map lmao

I think posters who doom about the game sunsetting just don't realize that there's been a demographic change and now the portion of third worlders playing the game has grown while westerners aged out. And young westerners are more into Riot games like League and Valorant because their friends play it and it's more beginner friendly and casual.

Been watching rtz stream for a couple of weeks now. If he ever returns to pro-dota he needs to play pos 1 mid and the pos 2 should be in the safe lane. I feel like this is the only way for him to not tilt into throwing, and he was at his best when he played a farming mid at the start of his career.

Call me a herald retard but
So in Smite and League everyone is supposed to ward and people who said that only supports buy wards are retard shitters
But it feels like that's ACTUALLY what people are like in Dota, so should I be buying wards as a carry or not?

if your support is n00b then buy them yourself, ping them so everybody knows you just bought them, and then place them.

>>577284805
I feel like pinging them is bad and that you should just stealth buy them because if not the supports will rage fill their inventories with all the wards in the shop and waste them at some point

Think about what you would do if you were in the enemy's shoes. What if you were stronger than the enemy? You'd probably be on their half of the map, looking for kills. What if you were much stronger? Then you'd probably be doing Rosh or Torm. If you were much weaker, you wouldn't be looking for fights, you'd be farming or perhaps even split pushing. If you can apply that logic to yourself, you can apply it to the enemy.
Also I'm not exaggerating when I say I glance at the map at least once every 2 seconds. You'd be surprised how often you'll catch a glimpse of the enemy's portrait on the map after they show for 0.1 seconds and if you see their ganking position 4 on your half of the map, you can probably assume he's not by himself. Especially if they have a global hero of some kind, then every enemy on the map is actually +1. Same with structures, since people can TP to those every structure is also structure +number of enemy alive and with TP scrolls.
Finally if you have wards on the map and there's no enemy there, that information is just as useful as knowing where the enemy is. You have 3 wards in their jungle and no one is there? Excessive, but if they aren't in their jungle, what else could they be doing?
>>
>>577284973
haven't had that happen but I've also not been pisslow for decades so idk.
by the time you reach divine and higher you actually have to fight people to buy wards, shit's always out of stock unless you have some shitskins on both supports who ran out of role queue tokens and are hardstuck.
>>
>>577285384
>What if you were stronger than the enemy? You'd probably be on their half of the map, looking for kills
I wouldn't actually, because if I was stronger than the enemy it wouldn't matter because no gold lead is going to stop 2 supports from teleporting on top of me and chain stunning me for 10 full seconds while their carry collects bounty gold off me and I completely throw my lead, so I would continue to farm my own jungle
>>
>>577284973
8 thousand hours of this game and I've never had that happen. The other anons are right, obs are free, sentries are cheap, just buy them. If it's too dangerous to place them yourself just drop them in the fountain for the supports to pick up, or type, or get on the mic and ask your team to group up in a smoke to go ward/deward.
Going on a tangent, It sounds crazy but I kind of miss rage buying the flying courier as carry back in the day lol.
>>
>>577285626
it is a very common occurence in herald that someone will complain about there being no wards or and one of the supports will spam buy every ward in the shop to go "FINE, SEE, I'm BUYING THEM!"
>>
>>577285384
map is good advice. I basically only look at the map unless I'm micromanaging the wave (so laning stage) or a fight. I know most other people don't because I always catch wards on the map that people miss looking at something else. there's a lot of downtime you'll be able to stare at the map while you just move through the map, or auto attack some farm.
it's how I saw AM here and was ready to blink on him. camera was on the fight but I knew AM was top side somewhere, was glancing at map and fight deciding how to re-engage and to see if AM would show up or keep farming, so I caught him like the n00b he is. >>577284462

No they're not "alone", nobody is ever fucking "alone" in this game. If you can't stun and kill someone in less than a second 5 people WILL instantly show up to kill you. Walking into the enemy jungle is just killing yourself, lead or not.

look I don't wanna be the bad guy here, but let's be honest. 99% of the people who still post here are losers in 2026. The reason 4chan and this general and game are "dying" is because everyone else grew up, got a job, got a gf, prob got married and are in their early-mid 30's buying a home and thinking about having kids and have zero time or interest in shitposting on this general or 4chan at all. Take a hard look at yourself and ask "do I really want to be here in a decade". I got divorced myself and am back living in my parents house at 35 and this is the only reason im here, dota is a crutch for most of you because ur too afraid to go out there.

I am 100% serious, anyone who wants to rank up as POS 4 and POS 5 but "my cores are so bad and I can't influence the game past 45 minutes" needs to become a shot caller
Buy a MICROPHONE DO NOT USE TEXT CHAT it is 100x more efficient to say "I just saw the enemy on my ward in the jungle, they are ganking us, run away" then it is to ping "Missing" and spam alt ping. If you are a support you have a much better time continuously watching the mini map like a hawk so you'll always know where people on the enemy team are and can guesstimate where the rest are. Anytime I feel like our team is slowing down and disorganized I say which enemy heroes I know for sure are located and then say if we should smoke up and gank or to avoid if we're really far behind. Most of the time people listen as long as you just aren't a dick.
Watch videos on Dota decision making skills (If we're ahead take this objective, if we're behind do this objective)

he decided to take 1 year off after graduating and try to go pro in warcraft and became world champion, he only became a streamer after he was already a successful pro player. if it's so easy go win some tournaments in wc3 you'll get same money and fame. also calling him "famous" is a stretch. he's "famous" only within a scope of an ancient unc game that is very niche today. he has like 20k views on his youtube videos, he's not a very popular guy. he's got collabs with actual popular streamers like tyler1 because he's respected within gaming community as a pro scene veteran, not because he's a big streamer

Pos 4's purpose is to roam and set up kills, it doesn't matter what he picks as long as he successfully roams and sets up kills. The only people who can get mad at something like Nyx pos 4 is retards who pick hard carry hero pos 3 and have a melty after they go 0/5 in first 10 minutes.

I genuinely think dota has better lore than lol and more interesting heroes. The only thing they had to do is turn dota cartoon into anthology and just visualize already existing stories like how Slark escapes prison or if they want original content make Rubick do some cool shit with Aghanim scepter. There are a lot of good opportunities for very interesting stories. Instead they focus on the most boring hero possible and half of the characters are not even in the game

interesting choice
how much impact does picking combinations of players to get boosted by prefxis? like half a percent to 2% higher, swapping out for someone consitently in the middle/upper middler of the pack

supports are more of a mixed bag and im not sure who to pick there, top rosters have them bottom in fantasy scores

we are no longer the target audience of this website.

I genuinely don't understand how a character that can be anywhere on the map while providing both utillity and damage could somehow fall off
If you don't have a quelling blade (which is 4 of the 5 characters) he presses trees on you and you just fucking die
And that's even if he does no damage to you
He literally can't fall behind in farm because of his ult auto generating gold and experience and that's if he literally just afks and doesn't teleport to waves
Like I genuinely, unironically just fundamentally cannot get it through my head how this character can lose a game

If you wanna max chances to get points from fantasy roster you have to check guide what players most likely get bonus from same prefix. Obvoiusly dont take teams that you think are going to go 1-4 or 0-4.

Professional Dota 2 players typically peak between 21 and 25 years old, though the average age of competitors at top-tier events like The International has risen to around 25 years old as veteran players extend their careers.

Why the Peak Happens in the Early-to-Mid 20s Reaction Time vs. Experience: Raw mechanical speed and visual processing tend to peak in the early-to-mid 20s.Tactical Adaptation: Dota 2 relies heavily on deep strategic knowledge, map awareness, and teamwork. Older players often compensate for minor drops in raw reaction time with superior macro-play and decision-making.

Shift to Coaching: Players past the age of 28 or 30 often transition into veteran competitor roles or move behind the scenes to coach, where the average age sits around 30 years old.

With 300 subscribers on Twitch, you will generally make between $750 and $1,050 per month from subscriptions alone. Let's throw in another grand or two from ads and thats like 2-3k a month. Looks like he used to make 8k a month when his twtich earnings leaked.

Based on the nice wooden door in his background and the central air vent I would guess mason is living in a home, he could probably have bought it with his 330k in winnings from esports back when homes were cheap and he prob lives in the midwest middle of nowhere.
