Stop eroticizing Hoodwink.
Buff Hoodwink
Yandex picked Snapfire more than any other team. They're a faggy Russian team that relies on heroes Valve has forgotten to nerf.
>>577728375She can consent
>>577728476so u're saying the campo santo team beat the reddit team?
HOW IS IT OK THAT WISPER BLATANTLY MATCHFIXES IN THE LAST GAME? HE PICKS WINDRANGER WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS GRIEF, MISSES EVERY POWERSHOT, EVERY SHACKLESHOT, BUYS A SHITTY BUILD JUST TO GET EVEN WITH THE MAFIAAND EVERYONE IS OKAY WITH IT
>>577721105I don't feel anything when she's not wearing the Windranger wig...
Have not followed along in forever. Who never got to fulfill their TI dreams? Ame, Puppey, RTZ, who else utterly crashed and burned?
>>577728879me
>>577728879wdym puppey already won TI
just give me my terrain picker AAAHHHHH
For how long is Gorgc banned?
>>577729045forever hopefully
>>577728674apparently he's going down next after tailung
>>57772904548 hours
>>577728476>picking good heroes... BAD!what's wrong with retarded niggas like this
#Justice4WingsGamming
>>577729798>spending hours looking at dotabuffs/d2pt to skinwalk other professional players is... GOOD!you realize TI is supposed to be fun to watch right?
>>577728879Burning, ice3, zai, Ramzes and unironically Quinn. Noone will get his this year
Yall should be spamming icefrog and valve so they implement fearless draft and make TOs stick to it
>>577730092I only have fun if dota is played as close to perfection as possible
>>577728879funny one was quinn because he got swept twice back to back and that made him implode the team i know the person that owned GG hates quinn with a passion
>>577728879>PuppeyNigga...........
>>577728879Gorgc
>>577728551Rape
>>577728375hurt hoodwink instead
>>577731014Sex with Hoodwink, the most beloved dota hero
>>577730495kill yourself leaguebab
>>577695295 Interesting
>huskarr on my team on solo mission >straight up goes out of his way to avoid helping his team win fights >jungles next to fights >shows up only to clean up after everyone else is dead>talk shit about how good he is with 8-2 score>lose, look at post game screen>he is fucking partied with to other players on the team
Is drafting really so hard kicking 322-xiao8 man make you bomb fucking groups?Though to be fair hiring washouts to replace your grand finalist teammates also killed their hopes at a TI win
>>577730495Dogshit opinion, never post here again
how do we save chinese dota, and by extension, the game as a whole? i fear the results of this group stage will be dire for the scene
>>57773172860% of this game is won on draft
>>577731789theres no saving chinese dota, there are no new players and the few new players that do appear will 322 because its dota 2 esports is dead. It's over, these gambling orgs should just dissapear so we can become tf2 tier where the pros play for 100 bucks and a crate of beers
>>577731435>>577731767Just because Riot do it doesn't mean Valve shouldn't. Sometimes the ideas are just good, regardless of where they come from.
>>577731789none, they can't compete with ruskie ghouls who spends half their life playing this shit
>>577732134Weird, league is even more competitive and they are doing better there.
>>577731889Ban one tricksBan the P/B heroes which are obvious within like 10 games in an eventPick your one tricks How hard can it be?
Why do the women look like that
Damn this kinda sucks desu, the only team I'm rooting for is Nigma atp, was hoping china would make an OG tier fairy tale run and finally break the wings curse but the favourite child flopped out during groups and the other two eliminated in todays roundWhat teams you rooting for /d2g/?
>>577732293>kid's reaction button masher>actual chess oriented gameyeah sure
>>577732558>Russian org, Russian players>American org, European players>Saudi org, Muslim players>Saudi org, European players + NA's last hope>Russian org, Russian players>Russian org, Russian players>Russian org, European players + Israel's last hope>Russian org, Russian players + Macedonia's last hopetotal russki domination
i lost my poopey folder and im sad please can someone post delusional little faggot
>>577732829
>>577732859ty
>>577733004
>>577732327if they ban the meta heroes they wont have any bans left for heroes that are hard counters to their picks and vice versa. valve is the one that has to nerf unbalanced heroes before TI starts desu
>>577733181almost all of the entire agility hero pool is out of commission because of the current state of the map. valve is fucking retarded
>>577732409>women
>>577732659This doesn't matter. League allows for way less mistakes due to how snowbally everything is. The games are shorter but way more focused and intense. If everybody could just mash and be good at it you wouldn't have Faker being the most decorated League player. It would be all over the place. Anyway, the point is Volvo fucked it up and lost the MOBA war in every single region except for the Post-Soviet one sans Baltics. Like I doubt that any of the active T1 CIS players grind the game that much and even then Liquid, Falcons and Nigma are competitive enough to win, so it's not really about grinding anyway.
>>577732293leeg has more support for esports in general but young talent numbers are also dwindling much like dotka
>>577733373whats wrong with the map in its current state?
Dota2 getting closer to HoN's final moments... soon we'll be hosting our last TI in a college basketball court too.
>>577734338it's becoming more and more apparent as to why high mobility heroes are picked. even more so on the pos1 front. the map has clear objectives to fulfill, and any hero that fulfills the tasks the fasted will become meta in their respective patch. and currently valve has no solution to equalize the playing field which is fucking sad.
drow feels like some theseus ship kinda shit everyrhing about her has changed so much she might as well be a pureblood nudota hero
>>577732571It's Kuroky's year
>>5777325583 tax haven online casinos2 petrostate sportswashing projects1 oldschool transparent esports institution that makes money from normal geeky ads and sponsors1 real indepedent player-founded org with 10 employeesand Yandex, who I have no idea is aligned with/owned by, Israel, Russia, Meta, Lukoil, the FSB ?
>>577735517>kuroky (old now coaching, played with puppey) + sumail (old)>puppey (old now coaching, played with kuroky) + noone (old)When you think about it Nigma v PV has a lot of interesting things going on.
>>577732067it's a shit idea kill yourself leaguebab
>>577735597yandex is russian google
When do the points actually update?
Gorgc-Topson-QuinnThe unholy trinity of reddit dota e-celebs
>>577735597>3 tax haven online casinosI only really have problems with these ones. It's obvious that there's a fuckload of money laundering going on behind the scenes. Gambling is just one of many ways to do it. I don't give a fuck about some blood oil money but gambling shit infesting e-sports was bad.
LGD looked so good in game 1 but I fell asleep for 2/3.what happened?
>>577735517>>577732859
>>577736667Probably tomorrow when the janny gets to the office.
>>577736819yandex banned enigma for the rest of the series
>>577735830You can't even explain why it's shit idea.
>>577736819Magnus in current yearNecrophos is honeypot
>>577737267The game isn't balanced around it right now.
>>577737465it's a bandaid for shit developers and would lead to retarded shit like bo5 finals having wraith king supportriot didn't invent fearless draft because they're geniuses they added it because they're bad at balancing
>>577736819game 2 they gave topson a carry from midgame 3 their carry got smoked on like 2 times after 30 mins followed by topson getting smoked on like 2 times too
>>577737267all fearless really did was make a few more gigameta heroes which are a bigger problem in lul more than dota
>>577733780yeah i don't much care. i've quit playing this game since ti8 and i only watch it now. and i don't have time to watch your shitty game, let alone playing it.
Is this above average?
>Go 1 and 11, fucking up an otherwise winnable match >Team doesn't tell me to kill myself, call me a retard, or even spam pings on me It actually felt worse than getting shittalked. I feel like I ruined a match for some nice, respectable people instead of the usual dickheads. >>577713896what the fuck
>>577738313you're soooo above average, big guy!:3 cute!
>NA dota dead>Puppey deadWho the FUCK do I cheer for now??
>>577738313no
>>577738465Puppey is not dead
>wow TI made me want to play dota!>get into a match>have to play with everything set to minimum, 80% render, resolution set to one option below my screen's native>25fpsI live in so much fucking pain none of you would comprehend it.>get a jobNever
>>577738598i used to play with even render at minimum and if i crashed mid game for some reason i couldn't even rejoin because the game would just instacrash againand then they made the game 64 bit so i couldn't even play if you could even call it thatyou don't know true pain
>>577738801>and if i crashed mid game for some reason i couldn't even rejoin because the game would just instacrash againdude I had this exact problem 2 years agobuying more ram fixed itthis was before AI raped the prices tho I made it out on the last chopper out of vietnam
>>577738496Every AI I asked said 2300 to 2700 is average so you're lying
>>577738897it was before i got a new pc so i was playing on a shitbox with 4 gigs of ram
>>577739052>4 gigs of ramyep that was the problemmine was 8gb that I guess was getting faulty because all sorts of things were crashing. Once I got a 16gb stick it solved my problems. It's still a shitty laptop otherwise but at least it has a couple more years in it
>>577739151atleast you can play even if it's choppy and low fps that's somethinglast resort you can install league since other than the dogshit fucking client taking more resources than the game itself it's pretty light>b-but vanguardyes that is an issue, but if nothing else works then hey
>>577738598specs?
>>577739387laptop with some shitty i5 and a gpu you have never even heard of (940mx)and the aforementioned 16gb ram
>>577739087Ugly
We are cheering for Nigma
>>577739506have you tried linux? performance is generally better there especially on amd
>>577738313crusader/archon is average. you have to reach legend to be above average
>>577739578940mx is nvidiaI doubt the performance increase would be worth the trouble, probably like 5-7 fps at most
Hoping to see Nigma vs Parivision in the finals for Puppey vs Kuro kino
>>577739682since you're getting 25fps thats a 20% increase, its worth considering
>>577739607Alright that's a good goal to have then, being above averageI think it's pretty doable for me
>>577739682>20 fps average>+5 fps is not enough>+25% boost is not enough
>>577739825>>577740002you know what's better than winning the special olympics?having legs
>>577740082they have legs in the special olympics so not only are you legless but you're more retarded than retards. retard.
Dota 2 hero with the largest breasts?
>>577740314
no more tinow what dotards
>>577740314pudka
>>577732784>Russian org, European players + Israel's last hopeRussian carry + ex USSR mid
>>577740082doesnt really apply at all, gaining performance is entirely within the realm of possibility, its not some ephemeral impossibility like your statement would imply
>>577739824Same.
>>577740314axe or mars
Oh no no no noAt least they had a nice EWC run
>>577740314wrNO LOL SHES FLAT
>>577740472Bulgaria was never part of the USSR
>have to wait until thursday
>>577740704Oh yeah it was just a satellite state alongside the likes of Romania, Hungary and such
Will they be revealing a new hero at TI?Hopefully it's something dark fantasy or another god like Ares or something
>>577740895>Will they be revealing a new hero at TI?
>>577740895The tradition has been between LB Finals and Grand Finals.
>>577740895you're just playing yourself not expecring eirher quirk chungus or pop culture shit
>>577740895>Will they be revealing a new hero at TI?We'll be lucky if they don't announce they're ceasing the conduction of TIs altogether.
>>577740895you'll be arjun who will be a ranged agi carry, an edgy poojeet god parody
>>577740895Great confluence, Deadlock open beta release date, and Deadlock crossover
>>577740704you are speaking with american
what is the general mood regarding dota these days? are people depressed about match fixing or treat them like isolated incidents?
>>577741403>are people depressedYe
>>577741403match fixing happens at shit tier tourneys and they get banned so nobody cares
>have decent fantasy this time around>think I'll get a purple box>realize that predictions don't give flat score on top of your fantasy score, but that your fantasy percentile converts into score>predictions 5/16grok blow my shit smoove off
Just got maximum calibration on my new account, no smurfing. Not much but it's honest work. Now it's time to lose my sanity and kill myself from getting griefed by account buyers.
>legend v>account buyerslol
>>577741519>shit tier tourneyslike this TI? like the lgd player who just got banned?
>>577741403game = good, altho people wish for more frequent and impactful updates, main criticism is the patch notes feel AI generatedesports = not good, no money in the scene, the little money left comes from sketchy places, valve total handsoff mode and no more battlepass to drive engagement
New Hero: Dead Dota, dead gameQuas: Disconnect beam, hits an enemy with a beam that makes them lose connectionWex: Explode. The hero explodes and dies, gives the enemy team kill goldExort: Time acceleration (passive), time moves twice as fast so the game can end fasterUltimate: Reconciliation: Advances time 10 mins and gives everyone 10 levels and 15,000 gold so the game can end faster and people can move on with their lives
If i were to matchfix i would tell my boss to bet on first blood on my team, then made the call to smoke and wait between the t1 and t2 towers of any lane and get an easy kill 5v2 or 5v1. No one would caught me.
>>577741982That's literally what Taiga did
>>577741848i never understood what was their issue with battlepass, i mean they stole most of the content from community anyway. Well not stole, but took for peanuts
>>577741793it didnt happen at ti retard
>>577742007i see, so you are coping then.
>>577728310who's this guy and did he really say that
>>577741961bro drained a lake for this shit
They should buff Hoodwink so the pickrate she has is justified.
>>577741982polymarket odds and accounts are public, someone just have to bother with investigating. And in this case it was his own teammate who exposed him, imagine their frustration
>>577741982every team smokes as 5 this would never work>>577742004arcanas were cool altho overpriced. I only ever paypigged once but I think Razor + FV cost me close to 100 euros. I dont even play those heroes
I could play Dota like this but I can't because God has hate for me
Compendium status?
>>577740895I hope Gaben does IRL appereance
>>577742004Reddit complained and the “talent” scene echoed it, that’s all there’s to it
member when they said they took away battle pass so they can focus on gameplay patches
>>577742636valve just hates working on the same thing year after year, they are like me but i usually abandon every projects in a month or two max.
Does the Sanctum lighting feel artificial to you too? Like a football field at night.
>>577728964ti1 doesn't count everyone knows this
>>577742796Looks better with weather effects.
New Hero: TyroneQuas: Glock Blast - Tyrone blasts an enemy with his glock gangster style, does dmgWex: Kool-aid n watermelon n kfc purple drank: restores health and manaExort: cop n finess: tyrone steals gold from the enemy with every attackUltimate: Boys from the hood: A convoy of pimped out rides tramples over enemy heroes while the boys spray guns from their vehicles, stuns and damages
>>577742993blatant LoL ripoff
>>577742993>>577743065this is literally a league champion already lmao
Is PSG posting AI slop again? What a jeet lol
>>577742989This looks a little more neutral
STOP bullying me.
>>577734769There's a simple one: Don't make a huge map with enough gold spawns for three greedy cores to farm while behind and dodging smokes.
>>577738598I used to play at 20 fps, you'll be fine
>>577742476He couldn't even bother to show up when it was in Seattle again, why the fuck would he be in China
it feels weird going back to being able to pick any hero instead of being forced to rotate around by tickets
>>577742989try moonbeam
>>577743592It's this >>577743338
can i get a quick rundown on the envy situation?
Why is this set such a weird garbage afterthought? The icon is even wrong, I'd much rather have this than the ugly mask
>>577743842he did illegal trading and now he will pay the price
>>577743573I actually really like cavern crawl, gives me an excuse to play fun heros rather than grind
>>577743842He is going to get executed by headman's axe in UAE court.
He's done for.
>>577744265what happened
>>577743842Wallstreet corrupted him, he's probably smoking crack with some prostitutes in his lambo, on the run from the SEC
>>577744447do you have a link to more info? EE is too irrelevant for google's SEO to find this
>>577744447why does it say eternalenvy instead of his real name? is this some bullshit a redditor made or is he actually in trouble
>>577744694His company is called ETERNALENVY
>>577744576>>577744694It's probably not real lol, I'm pretty sure you need to be a million dollar brokerage clearing member firm to submit trades directly like that
He said he's innocent chat
>>577744957>It's probably not real lolthe lawsuit is very real, its just that it has to be proven that envy was a bad boy
heres the actual lawsuit, dotards https://media.dwlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/04105409/Complaint-FirstAmendedECF033080326.pdf
>>577745701this nigga really named his llc ETERNALENVY
>>577745701in retrospect it was pretty obvious EE was doing some shady shit, all the signs were there. Who becomes a millionaire from honest day trading? Nobody
>no likeable teams on the main stagewho the fuck is left to root for? the fucking falcons and team bibi?
>>577746048>and team bibi?team bibisi (liquid)
>>577746048we love spirit and nigma
>>577738598Suffer in silence, parasite loser
>>577746048
hoodwink is the funnest hero bros
>>577745701>>577745287Well I'll be, your right lmao. Was he working with the "Quant labs" firm based in the UAE on this complaint also? It says he was working through a brokerage trading account
TI season genuinely the worst time to play this shit
>>577746229
Because the provided lawsuit is a civil complaint, prison sentences do not apply to the claims filed in this case. Civil lawsuits result in monetary damages, injunctive relief, or statutory penalties rather than criminal sentences. However, if federal criminal prosecutors were to independently investigate and convict individuals or entities for criminal securities fraud or criminal RICO violations based on similar market manipulation conduct, statutory maximum penalties under federal law generally include:Securities Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1348 / 15 U.S.C. § 78ff): Up to 20 to 25 years in federal prison per count for individual offenders, plus criminal fines of up to $5,000,000 for individuals or $25,000,000 for corporate entities.Criminal RICO (18 U.S.C. § 1963): Up to 20 years in federal prison per count (or up to life imprisonment if the underlying predicate racketeering activity carries a life sentence), alongside criminal forfeiture of all proceeds and property tied to the enterprise.Actual criminal sentences are calculated using the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which heavily factor in the total financial loss amount, the degree of market distortion, and the offender's criminal history.
>>577746414Matu's last TI was the last time I had fun watching it
Remember this fucking shit? Lol.
>>577746268
What did darkmago do again?
>>577740314It has to be Mirana, Akasha or Dawnbreaker. Rest are fan interpretations.
>>577746048Vision are considered heroes in this house, end of
i am n00b
>>577745991pretty much, initially i thought he just got THAT lucky on the options casino but no he's been (allegedly) committing securities fraud lmfao
>>577746532oh its just civil, thought EE was gonna get FTXD
>Team keeps pinging me for farming>Go help>Die because every enemy is 5 levels upfell for it again award
>>577747323>farming so slow that you fall this far behind>farming for no particular power spike to turn the fights to your advantage>farming just to farmgo play wow faggot.
>>577746912taigalung'd
>>577746734downfall of dota started with the eg logo change actually
to date, Dendi is the only player to have a theme song created for him by Valve
>>577732784Shit like this is why we will NEVER EVER (or until puccia falls) be allowed to crowdfund the prizepoll ever again
so EE will just get a slap on the wrist and have to pay a fine?
>>577748037This, that money would immediately go towards the war effort and Valve would be in serious trouble
>>577746932Lina is way bigger than QoP
>>577748125realistically nothing will happen but its fun to speculate

Why can it never be a close gameWhy is it always every single lane loses and someone is 20 to 50 kills up at all times
Haven't played dotashit in over a decade. Is memepush still a thing?

>>577735597Who's the real org, Spirit? Aren't they one of the biggest orgs in Russia?
>>577750210They know what people want
Don't worry Wraith King. I'm sure finishing radiance at 30 minutes will win us this game.
>>577750271CORRECT
I'm trying to figure out why God hates me. Like, what the hell did I do.
Finally won with Underlord after 5 losses straight
>>577752395Why do people use the bald Lina skin?
Why do they need a smelting car, exactly?And why do they need hero souls to power the robots? Axe is the only one who retained his personality, so why does the soul matter?They go through all that trouble of making a robot morphling and then when the process doesn't work they just fucking melt it down instead of putting a different soul in it?
>>577752515Because she’s bald headed nigger bitch
>>577753128This did sound racist, I'll be deleting this.
>>577752515Because you spend 4 seconds looking at the intro screen and 50 minutes looking at the game
>>577753118That's too much questions of paper thin quippy nuDota writing. Is there anything you enjoy in the story?
PLEASE GOD IF YOU EXIST MAKE IT SO THAT NIGMA AND PARIVISION ARE PLAYING EACH OTHER IN THE GRAND FINALS. SHOULD YOU NOT MAKE IT SO IT WOULD MEAN THAT YOU DO NOT IN FACT EXIST.
Rate my delicious dota snack. A peice of sour dough toast, 5 eggs. Melon, and some ketchup for extra flavor :)

>>577753918i euthanize (myself)
twitch should ban streamers more often to remind them that they have no power
i share a general with someone who eats melon together with ketchupy eggsi thought this general couldn't sink any lower....

>>577757732>>577757817sorry saars, i don't know how indians think
did you guys make it to at least 85th percentile?
>>577755832Spirit is in atrocious form
>got raped in fantasyYou know what? I don't even care about TI anymore.
>>577757936go back to heroes of the storm or smite

>>577758037shut up bloody benchod
POST YOUR PERSONAL BESTS, PEOPLE!
>>577757962Can I get a good score after forgetting to create a fantasy team during the group stage?
>>57775796290 for me. I want Drow's cosmetic so I have to lock the fuck in somehow
>>577755832rating Spirit and Nigma is tourist tier
>>577758205
>>577758205>>577758406Did you peak in 2013?
>>577758465>>577758205dude hasnt played since 2013 what a boomer!
>>577758465Yes. I was young and full of hope.I quit in 2014.
>>577758465The game was much easier back then.
>>577758465most of us did
I wish I quit in like 2016, game has been downhill since 7.00
>>577759202wish I had killed myself in 2016
>>577758205Why's this general full of people that haven't touched the game in a fucking decade?
>>5777593322021 for me >>577759443People come back here for TI
>>577759443I pop in during big events like TI, EWC, ESLs (the ones with the crowd like they did last year) then disappear once they're over.
>>577759332>wish I had killed myself in 2016>>577759626>2021 for meWhat happened dotards?
>>577759910life lost its magic and its just going to a boring office job like an npc, getting older and what not. barely care about games and stuff.
>>577760354at least you have a job, you have no idea how much worse it is not having one, you can numb urself with consumerism like 90% of people
>>577760354That's just part of adult life, unfortunately.
>>577740314marci
>>577740314It's probably either Pudge or Pit Lord.
>>577761392Big numbers there chief but I win in the "Longest Match" and "Most Kills" departments.
>>577761692My Best KDA Ratio is higher!Damn, these numbers are big.
>>577760556>>577760617idk how people do it its so mundane and boring, i guess they have social lives and families and stuff to keep them going. I used to get so excited for TI and stuff and do all the predictions and now I just fall asleep after a game or two and dont even know who 95% of the teams and pros are
>>577762002I think like 80% of the people use antidepressants every day or smth, it's hard for everyone
Bleak
It aint much but its honest work
>>577762181its sad :/
This game sucked the life out of me completely, I don't even want to play another one. I hadn't even played for like 3 days too, time for another break.
>>577761692That must've felt bad.>>577762752>winning a 91 minute gameThat must've felt real nice.>>577762002Yeah, having families and friends helps. You basically focus on them. There are way too many meaningless distractions nowadays and they all battle for a piece of your attention. TIs overall haven't really been as exciting as TIs of the 2010s but it's fine, I kind of came to terms that enshitiffication is an inevitable part of life some time ago and try not to interact with things that I don't find much joy in.
>>577747002get out of my way noob(i am also a noob but lucky)
wtf is a hard support
>>577757265>metafaggotry? Nisha has been spamming ES and Lina. What's wrong with picking good heroes?
>>577764092a very stupid concept casters and other idiots invented to make the game easier for noobsin reality, heroes have roles they have to fulfill some require more gold, others require less, a hard support is what they call a hero that's job doesn't require a lot of gold so he spends little time farming and lots of time minding the opponent team/objectives
which custom map is the best in warcraft3?
>>577765643the campaigns from hivemind
>got every banner to be perfect, IV and V across the board>except after rerolling the mid blue five fucking times I got lotuses instead of runesIt's over. 95% never ever.
>>57776579395th is probably like 40k points right now
>>577765883I'm at 40k and 91%
Blogpost, sorry:>friend wanted to try dota again after more than a decade>tell him it's a bad idea>we play a few games where he's just waddling around doing nothing>constantly trying to help him play better but he keeps deflecting blame, picking hard heroes (for him) and coping>last game he wanted to play omniknight and it was a disaster>"that's not true I did use my ult" -ult out of cooldown>"No I wasn't too forward, I'm following the team!" -died in the fog of war alone>*heal out of cooldown for the entire fights*>"get ready I'm gonna jump on that guy you heal me when I'm in melee range, ready? in 3... 2... 1..." *he heals 3 seconds later as I'm forced to walk back from the fight*>He starts walking up to random carries suiciding because he's upset that I'm "criticizing everything">lose my patience and yell at him that he's being annoying and he has to start learning things.>"nah man I'm too old for this game. I uninstalled it already."I'm more mad at myself for failing to be the cool "pro dude" that carries him I was playing with another friend yesterday (pretty good and probably soon to be better than me) and I was trying to get him to always carry truesight because of a shadowblade SB and he just went >"Dude you're being so fucking annoying shut the fuck up already, here" And rage bought 11 dusts I'm afraid I might be an ugly soul. Like, what I think is normal and friendly is actually very annoying/mean and people only merely tolerate me. Sometimes I get the impression that anons on 4chan also instinctively dislike me too but to be fair you couldn't say "I love sunny days" without someone calling you a nigger tranny.
>>577765735i played a few multiplayer og campaign mission which were a lot of fun like Hearthglen or the final of the roc campaign which was even pvp.anyway you mean single player campaigns or some other special one?
>>577766273>>lose my patience and yell at him that he's being annoyingYeah, you're the issue here.
>>577766273i got a bunch of people into dota2, some stayed some dont, dont beat yourself too hard about it, dota isnt for everybody
>>577766169the points have already been counted in?
>>577765643PARASITE (1 not 2) but no one plays it anymore
>>577766169>>577766639the points are not counted yet, I logged in to see, I have 52k points and am at 87th percentile which is obviously wrong
>>577766684oh i liked that map, is that the one where if you die, you respawn in a shooter arena until the last impostor gets found/crewmate dies?
Lost like, 400 MMR in 4 days. Lmao.
I love sunny days
>>577766273I learned pretty early on that playing something that's inherently competitive with people who are not on your skill level is a really bad idea and usually leads to some unnecessary quarrel. It's fun when all of you are clueless and don't give much of a fuck, it stops being fun the moment one of you actually starts tryharding. Either all must keep up or be left behind. CS, Dotes, WoW arena, etc. I remember being on both ends of this stick.
lmao why Ame acting like he is retiring we all know he is going to be back this is all he knows is dota
>18 ranked games>won 4 of themThis can't just be me, bruh. That can't be it.
>>577766273Some people don't have the character for Dota, it's unironically not for everyone.
who gave this nigger kotl a 6 second 100% movement slow. are valve retarded niggers and wow the heroes broken who wouldve guessed. id rather get stunned twice for 4 seconds then deal with him casting it on me once
I lost count of how many games I lost because we have 2/3 raxes and the team insists on throwing this advantage away by pushing the last remaining tier 3 tower and taking a completely needless highground fight instead of just walking into the base from the opened lanes.
>>577767646no one's lost a game with mega creeps
God made me bad at everything because he loves me, I suppose
>>577767646welcome to nigger dotajust had a game where faceless void decided to farm a bf manta aghs where he fought only ONCE in 35 minutesthis is still normal because everyones a normalfaggot in dota
Petition to rename mega creeps to mega crisps (big crisps start coming out of raxx)
>>577767758Okay but go through the wide open mid lane so you're not forced to clump on the stairs and miss shots from the lowground
>>577767629kontol has been doing this shit for like 6 years at this point git gud bitch
which mid and support should i pick for the most points?
>>577736691They got their foot through the door the same way they did in regular sports. They said that they alone keep the T2 scene alive.>>577753918He washttps://liquipedia.net/dota2/G

>>577772514We peaked 10 years ago!
I gotta say, that Monster Hunter collab was the weirdest choice for a collab Valve could've gone with.
We need an anime Collab and don't bring up the dota cartoon
>>577773235>animeBut what anime?
have you guys seen even a single person in any match using these dogshit automaton skins?
>>577773359jjk
>>577773639i saw one axe in like 50 games
>>577773639A friend bought axe legion and bristleback because "I wanna learn those heroes anyway" They're so fucking ugly
>>577731789why should we save them? they should save themselves, fuck china
>>577773639i think the oracle one is sort of decent

>>577774336Be glad it's not nigma and parivision because we need both in grands.
>>577773639yes

so this game has become for zxc oshiete ruskis now huh?
i just checked reddit and Ame killed himself

>>577775743Nothing ventured, nothing gained
>>577775743you don't know how to farmwatch somebody else farm
>>577775539GPK aegis status?
>>577775879Every single farming guide on Youtube is "Waves are better than jungle camps" and "And now we go to this triple stack that our support made 10 minutes ago"
>>577772512Carry is literally the easiest role in the game though
>>577776015no retard watch some good player replay
>>577775743probably bad farming route or letting the enemy offlaner get free farm by trying to play safe. i have a problem with this too, so i prefer taking offlane if i have to play core. my team won’t give a shit if the enemy carry is too farmed as long as i can initiate with my blink.
>>577775961Never ever
>>577773639I've run into axe yeahI'd buy the bristle if he had the fancypants sober voice from the storyline, it looks better than any of his actual cosmeticsOracle is cool but I already have a dripped out oracleLegion I like the jacob's ladder banners but the face is super jacked up and they really missed a beat not making her all bronzeMorph is a disaster, he should be built like a bayformer because he has to reconfigure into every other hero. Legitimately the single worst choice for an automaton hero they could have made>>577775639Chinese by far, unless we're talking about the "fridge shaped women with sidecuts" flavor of punk
These "top banned heroes in this bracket" shit is hilarious. Who the fuck in banning antimage?
turn me over; i'm done
>>577776682>pudge game every 3 gamesgrim
>>577773639I've seen all of them except morph because I haven't seen anyone pick morph
>>577777042pls dont be sad*inflates you, making you big and round*
And then I end the game with thousands more gold than the people I could never fight, like every other timeI don't fucking understand
>>577777777
>>577773639>No new voice lines despite getting the actors again>Not compatible with any hats, not even the ones valve made.>Doesnt even include popular immortal effects from the get go (Like invoker dark artistry set for example) Should've been an arcana slot with some minor equipables like weapons.And legion should be arcana compatible too. Shit sucks. Also I've only seen axe once. and perhaps a legion if memory serves.

Why can't you equip wards and couriers per hero
>>577778659That would cost at least 10 lines of code you retard

>>577776140WRONGITS LITERALLY THE MOST STRESSFUL>WANTS TO BE GANKED BY EVERYONE>HAVE TO JOIN FIGHTS OR BE SEEN AS DOGSHIT>EVERYONE RELYING ON YOU>HAVE TO MAXIMISE EFFICIENCY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHILE SUPPORTS GET TO LITERALLY STAND AROUND OR JUST PUT STUFF DOWNFUCK OFFMAYBE AT 12K MMR AFTER THE 10000 MATCH OF PURE LAST HITTING ITS BASICALLY MUSCLE MEMORY
>>577775743>>577776015Post a fucking replay already.Or just go look at your fucking replay yourself and count the gold.
>>577779636Nobody has gained anything from posting a replay to /vg/ other than being told "You're shit at everything, need to improve on everything, you died here and that's bad, holy how are you [x rank] everyone in this game is retarded"
>>577779958consider that you need to hear exactly that
>>577775743>>577775879>>577776015you just need to know when to be in the right place that optimizes your farming and getting you an objective/kill
>>577779958That's why I gave him the second option of counting the gold himself.Literally not that fucking hard.He's either a chat bot just ragebaiting for (You)s or he's a pissbaby throwing a temper tantrum because he doesn't actually want to put in the bare minimum of work to get better.
>>577776682I cannot figure out for the life of me why OD is banworthy, let alone has a positive winrate. Is the Obduration change really that significant?
>tfw can't do anything locally in dota because its all browns

no ti for a couple of days.i don't know what to do now.
ALERTALERTMORPH IN MY GAMEHE HAS THE AUTOMATON PERSONA
>>577780356"Pubstomp" heroes are good. Characters they tell you you're supposed to grow out of thinking are good are good.
Is abaddon good in the current meta?my guess is no.
I won a ranked game but my MMR didn't go up. Maybe it's lost in the mail.
>"How does Satanic farm so fast?">"You basically ignore everything and afk, and also you drag creep waves to the jungle camps so the enemy has vision on you at all times"yeah i'm... i'm sure that'll go great...
The thing that sucks about Legend bracket is no one accepts criticism, because they think they know everything. Maybe it gets better in Ancient.
>>577780781you just need to have "that" in you, looks like you don't have "that"
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too
>>577781393wellyeait does workthats why he does it...
>>577781393satanic also has the highest kill participation, which also contributes a lot to gpm, as I said you have to be in the right place that optimizes farming + objectives
>>577781457sorry i cant im a sagittarius
>>577780781>>577781457It's called "the gene"
>no kekson>no ame>no chinkswhat's the point anymore
every carry should learn how to play terrorblade, the perfect hero that teaches you how to optimize farming, objectives and fighting with meta
>>577782421and you also need an anime pfp

lmao are they ever going to fix this 2004 ass model?
Just broke my keyboard and smashed my monitor. I lost 12 games in a row and my tire blew out, its gonna cost $1400 to replace them all, they're done for. I'm gonna have to get in debt and finance it, cant afford it. Dota fucking sucks now and everything is garbage
>>577782338Unironically Falcons for ATF, and Liquid for scandipower
>>577770209>WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-ursa
i was really good at supports that hang around in the back crowd controlling and buffing in league, what are the dota equivalents?
>>577783531They did, the bad news is it's an arcana
>>577758205How do I see this on opendota?
>>577783549Well good job dingus now you have to pay for a keyboard and monitor too
>>577784010im done with video games i dont care anymore
>>577783531It was a paid upgradesorry chud, you should've been there and spent 300 dollars on the battle passbring battle passes back!!!!!!!!!!1111111111
>>577783804The newest hero Largo is closest you get to that.His lick removes debuffs, he has a damage buff and his ult can be played at any time to spam buffs constantly swapping out his spells for his banjo buffsOracle as well, but oracle is very tricky for newer players because his w and e are double edged and can grief. (His w disarms but makes magic damage immune, his e nukes but heals double the amount over time)Omniknight is the classic buff support but a ton of items counter him so its just a litmus test on how stupid the enemy carry is
>>577783804>>577784862Oh there's also Io whose basically the tf2 medic/mercy, but his ult requires good comms if you want to use it for anything more than a save
renewed my d+ sub for another 6 monthsanother 6 months of my life wasted
>support alchemist>bloodthorn into AC>still loseLoss queue is real.
>>577783965I don't know. I used dotabuff.
I lost to this...
So if I'm mid and both other lanes lose, there's nothing I can do about it if I don't dumpster the enemy so hard I go like 10 and 0? Going even or winning slightly isn't enough, I just don't get to contribute past that?
>77th percentileFUUUCK GUYS HELP MY FANTASY ROSTER PLEASE I NEED THAT TERRAIN TOKEN

>>577786731Right-click Bane is so based.
>>577789831The one time I played Bane I was shocked by how hard his autos hit and how good they felt to useWhy are right click carry heroes so fucking stilted and awkward feeling and fucking Bane gets to have the most natural feeling autos
>>577790612I don't know. Probably just a coincidence that the slow moving purple gob's animations looks nice compared to the others.
>lost 500 MMR in two days.this can't be real
So...which teams are still left in The International? I'm trying to craft the second phase banner but it's still giving me 16 choices. Wouldn't I be screwing myself by picking a team that's already eliminated?
>>577791070logically.not sure why they let you even select them, its most likely an oversight or left on purpose to bait idiots. t. had LGD selected and nothing told me they were eliminated
Imagine
>>577791403His main?Juggernaut
Has fantasy points actually been taken into account for your percentile? I only have 30k so far but I got 8/16 correct predictions yet it says I am in the 98th percentile. Do predictions actually have that much more weight? Because I don't believe I could be that high with such a dogshit fantasy
>>577791403hey say what you want but at least hes legend, ive seen some heralds with 10k matches, now thats hell
>>577783531base qop has a more fuckable face than arcana qop, you cannot refute thissure arcana qop has a better overall model but base qop takes the face card any day of the week
R8, I fed calude 10 random data sources and told it to make me a bracket. I then told it it was fucking wrong and to aggressively de-prioritize any Chinese team and then bump up nigma wherever they settle. My only regret was not bumping nigma even higher.
>>577792221I know you're baiting but I was surprised after equipping her hood cosmetic, I always thought It made her look good because oh, it covers her face, and that's the worst part of her, but. no? She looks weirdly beautiful with the hood up, so I guess the real problem is her hair?? But every other cosmetic changes her hair, and it never really makes her face look any better.
>>577781918Isn't there an arguement to be made that if you play something like BB or TIde or any other str chud you can purpose go to narnia to farm and have your team use your body to eat ganks or start fights?
>only 84th percentileim so fucked
nisha or gpk
>only got 6 right in prediction>game only gave me points for 4Thanks for rubbing in my face
>90th percentile on fantasy>only 30 pointslollmao this shit is random, who cares.

wheres the blogging furry? I wanna make fun of him and his dota games
>>577796506thread bully bullied another poster until he left :(why does the thread bully do this?
Old poster here who hasn't played Dota in over a year. I literally had no idea TI was going on until Youtube randomly recommended me a video talking about it. I looked at the wiki page and like 5 out of the 8 remaining teams are russian teams owned by betting orgs and most if not all of their players are just soulless nerds with no personality or redeeming features besides "i play dota.". Genuinely, what is the point of following/playing Dota nowadays if you're not russian? It feels so fucking soulless. Like "yeah bro let's go Vladmir #3, beat up Vladmir #8!!"... I don't get itAt least Sumail is still alive and competing apparently, not gonna watch but I hope he wins
>>577796506Lol, I dropped like 400 MMR. I'm in hell right now.
>>577796614He's a vile person, nothing better to do in his life. If you post a game he will find your steam profile using opendota based off the 10 hero combination. Guy needs a break.
>>577796727You should get coaching
Who would do this?
>>577797063Someone that enjoys video games probably.
>>577796654I follow for zxc oshiete dead inside carries
>>577797010Think my comms score is too low. I've been flaming less, so i can use text chat now. But it's still on 6,000. Behavior score is higher: 9,000.
>>577797063thats a lot of dota, time to stop being a neet and get out there
>>577797063its the greatest game made lol what else is their to play deadlock???? come on dont make me laugh
>>577797192I think you can still get coaching from friends, you just can't request a coach.
>>577797063thats 10 hours a day of dota, insane
>>577797431My friend is Divine 1. Maybe I should ask.
>>577797063I have a friend who's been doing numbers like this for a while now but some terrible shit happened to him recently and I guess he uses the game as a form of escapism.Honestly hope the game doesn't end up making his mental state even worse than it already is but yeah, he's been playing an average of 9 hours a day for months now.
augar you're still not farming enough, we've told you 100x. watch some replays of Satanic hes the best farmer right now and copy. you only had 399 last hits in your last spectre game and it was 53 minutes, you had radiance too. that bloodseeker had 608 last hits, 200 more than u. just farm bro and u will win
predictions for the tournament are up on the game client now

hi /d2g, Last time I really cared about TI was when I was watching it at Benaroya hall in seattle, and the last time I played dota grimstroke was new.who should I root for
>>577798618it could go either way I thinkI usually never do the prediction during TI but it feels like it's hard to get a good feel for the teams performances based on their earlier tournaments.
when are the next TI games
>>5778009352030
>>577800574>Lorelollmao.fuck off psg.
>>577781275Just pair up with a ranged carry, and you can babysit just fine. Max Aphotic first, obviously.
>>577790975PUT. THE GAME. DOWN. AFTER. TWO. LOSSES.YOU. STUPID. FUCKING. MONKEY.
>>577801290Dota is the only game I liked though. >>577797063
you know im right dotards
>>577801573Literally same as mine except Nigma wins cuz I don't want eeu to claim another aegis
>>577801537expand your horizons
>>577801537I don't fucking care. Go cool the fuck down for two to three hours. Go on Reddit, for fuck's sake. Go doomscroll or whatever. Get the fuck off the sticks. Every single loss you took after the first two, was your own fault, and completely avoidable.
>>577801697Maybe I'll play Civilization V, idk
>>577801682based, might the best gambler win friend, i expect to see you in the jiggies
>>577801537Jerk off, 5 mins, trust me it clears the mind
i barely have any points, this surely is a bug right?
>>577801573>yandex>winning
>>577801916kill yourself >>577801537do not jerk off it will only make it worse
>>577801967it is counting the players slowly and adding them to the pile, there will be people ahead of you and below you that are still in the queue to be countedvalve is an amerimutt company so they count votes with paper ballot and take several days
MY WIFE
>>577802165TOO HIGH RES
the main event should have had +4 teams like it had in previous TIs, they keep making the tournament smaller and smalelr
>>577802165damn nigga save some frames for us
>>577801916lol not trying to agree with this but he isn't 100% wrong
>>577802165She's MY wife
where ti games?
>>577803574Cancelled because no china teams left
What do you guys think?
IW is going to winThis, I know
>>577804020Honestly wouldn't mind, bzm is underrated
>>577802530Gotta send the players home early to save money on hotel rooms lmao Dota is so fucking dead valve doesn't even care even on TI which we only get once a year
>>577803908if you think nigma is going to the final at least make them the champions
>>577803908>The 20th of August is the anniversary of the Hundred Regiments Offensive where the CCP fought against the invading Japanese Armywhat did gaben mean by this
>>577804387Nigma will have war fatigue. Pvision have shown me that even fatigue doesn't get to their team, I could be wrong, and if I am, Nigma wins.
>>577798742china has been crumbling for 5+ years now, only ame's team has ever gotten any placements, and they luckshitted their way lasy year, so this year their performance was just as expected considering they kicked the director
Wait is Nattea married to Quinn? wtf?
if you're going to tell me there's no shoe dangle webms of this... i simply won't believe you. Just post em
>>577804637you wish quinn
remember when there was a good korean team for like two years?
>>577804554Current Nigma seems different from the one in ESWC where they fluked their way to top 8. They have shown confidence and the ability to adapt their strategy to fit the situation, so probably they'll be able to stay on top of their game till the end (I hope).
>>577805080War fatigue will come, and Nigma will feel it. All these players are the best in the world. They all have the ability to win. The problem is fatigue, jet lag in stage group. And every TI Final there will be 5 match. It boils down to who can fight and perform despite the fatigue, and Nigma been fighting long fights in their group stage. Most of their matches are over 50 mins, their war fatigue will be harsh. Satanic has fight in him, he might be one of the few who just enjoy the fatigue.
im reliving my gaming glory days, playing dark souls 1 and now after 13 years im coming back to dota to play a bit. what is new? I used to like doom jungle and spirit breaker and drow
>>577806536You can still doom jungle. Let us know how it goes.
LOOOOOOOL
>>577806536no more jungle even as they have double the neutral camps farm is plentyfull and fast farming is key in this meta where youre expected to reach key items early and get kills each power spike
>>577806924China and their "image" needs to be upkeep LOL
I like the Siren aesthetic (using music to hypnotize people) but I don't wanna play a fish chick. We need another singer hero.
>>577806924What Esport China sees as good even? No wonder China teams sucked, it's like only the bottom of the barrel quality chinks contests in Esports
>>577806937>>577806779this place hasnt changed, one guy saying go woods, and another saying no lol
>>577807495You can't lv 1 jungle anymore, it's straight up gone.But Doom himself can jungle later when he's done laning.
>>577807381Xi killed the esport scene by limiting play times but also wants China to become an esport powerhouse for bragging rights. Absolutely schizophrenic commie behavior.
If I'm supposed to spend 90% of the game farming and never supposed to pick a fight with anybody because it's literally always the wrong decision, why would I ever pick a character that's not a scaling carry?
>>577807635The two aren't the same though.China has a huge gaming addiction problem where retards keep killing themselves playing games 24/7 in internet cafes for like 60 hours straight. They want kids to get gud by getting their 8 hours of sleep and good grades first.
>>577807841All top esport pros start out as teenagers grinding for days on end. No chinky young adult would bother dedicating themselves to anything because they live in a hopeless dystopian shithole and would rather lying flat to doing literally anything. Also all the Chinese kids switched to mobile gaming because it's easier to bypass restrictions there so the talent pool for PC game esports in China just dried out as a result.
Let's face it, dota is over.
I want to see an AM arcana before this game dies
apparently typing nigger locks you out from post game chat
The game is finished, all of the soul is gone. It's a thirdie game now...
>>577806924TI shouldnt have been in china in the first place said it last year when it was announced
>>577808485The restrictions don't do shit for people who really want to game because they'll just buy accounts and social IDs from poor people and use those accounts once the curfew hits. Or they do shit like use a proxy or VPN to queue in SEA where there are no restrictions, which is part of why SEA players cry 24/7 about Chinese players griefing their games like we complain about Russians. So if your premise that the excessive grind is what's necessary to pump out pro e-sports players, there's no shortage or issue with that.
Dota 2 is dead, its over chat
Who should I pick to be rewarded for being a brooling retard that never farms, doesn't die for chasing any enemy that shows up on the map and ends with the same gold as my offlaner despite dying 17 more times than them
>>577808485You're mixing up the cause and effect.Talented kids grind because they're good and love playing the game. The grind helped them hone their skills but the grind itself isn't what generates skill.
TELL ME RIGHT NOWwhat purple immortal are (YOU) going to choose?
What if these kids focused on education instead of video-games?
It says I'm 91st percentile and I don't now if that's the worst or the best thing to be
>>577809510what if you work every day 20 hours a day instead of doing whatever else? exactly, nothing, because it's mentally impossible
>>577809646I wouldn't know, I have never worked a day in my life. My parents are rich and my dad owns 3 car dealerships. I have my own house he bought me and play dota all day so idk
I'm mid match right now and my right shoulder is fucking killing me. I don't know if I can finish this game.
Rtz likes calling people cucks.
>Silencer walks up to me>I take 400 damage and can't cast spells for 4 secondsAnd this is a bad mid laner because...Because..?????
>>577809960he might be a cuck himself
>cunt 4 farms the entire map and does absolute nothing with itlove dota
it's insane how little we ever done despite having a community, we should have been playing in parties all these years and everyone who vists here should be at least divine at this point and yet everyone plays solo at crusader or herald level
The trench really never ends, does it?
>>577810531dota community is anti social by nature
>>577810752But wait! There's more!
>>577810752>trench really never ends>archon???
>>577810907WAIT FOR IT! WAIT FOR IT!
>always have a couple minutes in queue>the one singular time out of hundreds of games i get up to get something it pops instantly and i miss iteither i just totally lucked out or i missed my chance and im now heading towards the worst game possible
>>577811054I climb from herald to legend, in like a month, you know what I learn? You roll with the punches, they will pick the worst heroes and blame you, you mute them and you play the game.
>its a mason soys out episode
so why did nightfall do it? why did he choose his ex teammates?
>>577812135learned from arteezy to always go for the most humiliating losses
>>577810531It's not from lack of trying.Dotards play at different hours and live in different timezones. There are yuros, burgers, SEAs, etc. And they all work/sleep/play at different hours in their own timezones. Trying to find 5 or 10 Anons at the same time to play together is hard. Can't just queue while waiting for people to come on either since games are 30-60 minutes each. So you have 4 people waiting on 1 more, somebody gets impatient and queues, and now they're gone for an hour and the remaining 4 have to decide if they want to queue or just wait and see if the guy wants to play a second game instead of just turning in for the night. You'd have to make an appointment together to queue which is a load of work.That's assuming we don't have personality conflicts too. Plenty of faggots and psychos who throw tantrums the first chance they get. You've seen the subumans whining about low bs/cs. Imagine getting in a party with them while they break their items or just grief the game because they are upset about some pointless stupid thing. They get an abandon, and that kills your own bs/cs scores.But really, if dotards found a group to regularly play with, they wouldn't come back here. It's like a dating app. The good ones and success stories all found someone and left. Only the dregs remain.I offer advice sometimes but people rarely listen. Either because they think changing the way they play is beneath them, or they're just incapable of understanding what they're doing wrong even if you spoonfeed them. The Anons who know what they're doing rarely ask for advice. They just climb out and then eventually leave for higher MMR >Discords. So again, only the low MMR dregs remain.This place could be one of those communities. But that requires Anons to actually want to make this a hospitable place where we can have fun playing Dota together instead of bitching each other out 24/7 for every perceived mistake.
>>577812482gamergate killed this website, we never had a real community after it
medusa pos 5 but i'm the only constant
You could offer $5,000 for a week and dotards wouldnt even play with each other, a bunch of spergs and autists
>>577812679Speak for yourself. I'll play with spergs for $5,000 a week.
Mason is so full of garbage, he pretends hes bored and doesnt care about the game. What a loser coping
As someone who's constantly poor and in debt I'd play with spergs for 5 grand a week.
>>577813216>i'mboredclassic nadota mentality, fucking hate whoever started this shit, fuck you sharteezy
I have 8k in credit card debt that keeps growing every month, had to cancel dota plus.
>three fucking throws in a row
got a feeling that nigma takes it for some reason
>>577803908>nigma finalswould be cinematic but i don't see it happening
>>577813930but I thought donald drumpf was going to save ameriKKKa
>>577809960>>577810431he's just using 2016 reddit lingo like an oldfag
>>577814512we all did but all he did was enrich himself and his jewish and billionaire buddies.
>>577814695I dunno I think the anti tranny laws and immigrant removal is pretty good
losing makes me so mad it pumps me full of adrenaline and i cant sleep after
>>577814791yeah he's still a shabbos goy retard though
>>577815427that's why you never go to bed unless you close your client with a win.
>>577815495Well I'm at 4 in a row so I wonder how long that will take :)))))))))))
bros why is there such a long break until the mainstage I'm bored
I'm so horny can someone post zyori
>every possible score you can get from predictions and fantasy end in 0>friend list has scores like 11224 and 7196Just.. how? Like how can you fuck that up from code perspective you are supposed to add two numbers together, both ending zero. End result can't be 11224.
>>577813903it was literally fear newfag nigger
12 hours of dota.
>>577816114>i have 1200good to know i'm bottom of the barrel gutter garbage even at random numbers
>>577816114They're doing rolling score instead of threshold for the fantasy percentages this year
>>577815974It's so retarded. I went to TI5/6/7 and each time I'd save up a week's worth of vacation, dump it all in August and go to Seattle and just chill out in the city while attending TI. It was so fucking good. I'd wake up, go to a diner and eat breakfast, then walk to the arena and spend most of the day there. Then after the day was over i'd go bar hopping.I'm not even upset it left Seattle, that's cool to let other country's fans get to experience that kind of thing. But splitting it up like they did just makes no fucking sense and is retarded as hell.Plus why is it back to '8 teams go to mainstage' shit again? I remember when they pulled this back on TI4 everyone got pissed as hell and Valve revoked it.
Are percentiles accurate now? Like, did they stop counting? Says I'm 99% with 10.6k points but there's no way lol.
>>577816282I mean that would make that possible, it doesn't say so in the guide but when I stop to think about it how would you know who are top 1500 players if you didn't score them like that.
>>577816482I got 11880 and 77% so I think its safe to say they are bs.
Probably gonna adjust them several times but this is my first guess.
dota is so dead nigma has a chance to win
>>577816482>>577816664the points I think are right because people are getting similar scores but the percentiles seen off
>>577816861I hope so. I borrowed 8 grand to bet on them.
>>577816963be real
What's /d2g/'s thoughts? Every team feels like a total coinflip and I'm only confident Satanic will own these noobs for a completely clean stomp to the aegis. I have shaky faith in Nigma and BB to over perform and maybe TL/
>>577816912Most likely but since the % is only relevant thing its pretty pointless stat. In other hand theres another set of as many points yet to be handed over it really doesn't matter to know the % either.
>>577817138That can't be the real pictures, but I feel like they might be.
it was I was 82 percentile on the fantasy with 52k points, that means I'm fucked, hopefully they are still counting more people and that will bump be to 90th>>577817138they are real in game pictures
>>577817196they are real in game pictures
The next hero is literally DeathEvery year one dota 2 hero will be removed until it goes down to only 9 left then the game sunsets
>>577817256im 84th at 54k, it hasnt moved since the results. im out of fantasy rolls as well so i guess theres nothing left for us to do but pray
>>577817343Holy shit it is real. I want Fly to crush my skull with his biceps.
Vision are gonna reach the finals but they're going to choke and lose to Nigma. Liquid come third.
>>577816572Afaik it's within the brackets they've given. So getting 99.5% would give 11700. Or 85% would be 7100.
>>577817447>what if Alchemist gives steroid to himself instead of the ogre
>>577817402my rolls for the next phase are much better but idk if it's enough for me to get to 90th, I just want the immortal gardens, not that I'll use it because the desert is still the goat
I got Liquid underdogs meeting upper brackets juggernaut Nigma in the finals.
>>577728310i hate racist
I miss bo1 lower bracket matches
more than half of my friends list still havent had their points counted so that's a lot of people that will get below me and push my percentiles up as I am in the upper side of the scores
>>577817752The estimates are pretty much useless when friends with double the score are 10% lower than others.
>>577817730they removed it and basically eliminated all those teams during the groups stage, which is really lame, but they'll save paying 40 hotel rooms for 3 more days I guess
embarrassing that Valve can't count these fucking scores in under 30 minutes. Aren't you a 20 billion dollar company? Why are you running this process on a 2004 pentium?
>>577817829they are using steam decks and steam machines to do the processing
Anyone wants to play any game bored af
>>577817447slacks having fake hair on is funny
>>577817561Kino script anon
>>577817812the predictions gave a lot of points, like 15% of mine points I think came from the predictions
>>577818067when 5k score guys is higher in % than 10k score the estimates don't tell much
>>577818018Sorry I'm at work
>>577818018I sustained a Dota injury (bad shoulder) i might be taking a break from gaming.
yall niggas are some hoes
did they fuck up the matchmaking algorithm or something? for several weeks I've had barely a 30% winrate
I liked playing willow mid when she came out, willow 1 was novel too, too bad they pigeonholed her into a cuckport
>>57778810799% of the time this happens it's because the guy wasn't completely braindead (10% chance), had vision and precast the obvious "I'm going to blink" movements.
>>577818775u r n00b.
>>577788107post webm.
>>577819415willow scepter is still really good but the attack speed was fucking insane.
>>577820106the real lynchpin of that build was all the invulnerability she was getting with realm, wind waker, and cooldown reductions
>>577820175invuln sniper range, speed, damage. it was retarded.
>>577797063thats nothing lolmy last 2 weeks the last 10 years looked like this
just please let me have sanctums or gardens
>>577820303>anon has 2000 STDs
>>577820794i wish man
>>577820303>>577820794>>577820830i am literally in the top 10k people who wasted their most time in steam games. literal no lifeand then some hundred hours in warcraft3 and like world of tanks(acutally total war arena but nobody knows it)
>>577817561PURE SOUL PREDICTION i wish i had the balls to do this but i need that terrain token
griefed the last 2 matches of the day wcydfinally my dota2 shift is over and i can go sleepkinda sad that i am +-0 mmr but tomorrow i will earn my legend rank
>>577738313Anything below 8K mmr (now, after the recent mmr rescaling) is bot tier
>>577821238the broodmother game was very special, won because enemy ck griefed eventhough they had a earthshakerwhat a foreshadowing moment
Anyone else has the entire Vision roster on their fantasy? Is this even good? I think they'll win the whole thing.
>>577821042>total war arenaI know about it, it was really fun but sadly total war players are not competitive so it was never going to be popular
i got no explanation other than i want nigma and lulquid to go far this tourney
>>577821405i was no lifing that game insanely, literally had rank 10 in all armies, but the higher rank games were kinda shit lolthe best was like rank 4 or 5but there were some sick and op synergies on the high rank, couldnt really play it tho before the game died sadge
I play poe for about a week every time there's a new league, both games, that's enough for me to complete the challengesI also played warthunder for fun, I dont buy premium account, I buy premium vehicles because then there's no fomo, i play when I feel likehaven't actually played dota 2 in years despite thinking it's the best game ever made because dota takes too much commitment to get into it again, it's a high energy game and I'm not a high energy person anymoreI'll be nolifing aion 2 for a month when it launches and hoping it'll be good, if it is then I'll play it more casually
>Underrated> Nigma Galaxy 4–1 +83> Team Resilience 2–4 +61> TEAM VISION 4–0 +57 >Overrated> OG 1–4 −77> Xtreme Gaming 1–4 −75> HULIGANI 0–4 −74 How much of this was due to luck of the draw, like facing either the strongest/weakest teams?
>>577822260>aion 2Jesus Christ anon please get some taste.
>>577822289Nigma's three series out of five were total shittersthey did beat Team Spirit but jeez
>>577822260I am just stuck with low iq third world pinoy/indog/thai/msia who just shit up doto, I quit every year after TI. 1 month from Hearld to Legend, the players have the same kind of skill gap, it's insane.
>>577817447>That was crispyReferring to the palestinian children he just incinerated>I'm not tiltedUnlike this house in Gaza my bulldozer just ran through
can you stop posting about your fucking gook mmo I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>577822334so when I was a kid I played 2 types of games, RTS, with brood war and then wc3, and mmo, I played tibia and then lineage 2 when I was really younglineage 2 was the game I spent most of my adolescence, I learned to speak english because of it, I led clans with people from all over the world and I was just 13 years old, I have so many good memories, I always wanted mmos to be good again, but wow literally ruined the genre because it was so popular every game tried to copy it and they were never good, wow is still super popularso I'll give aion 2 a try hoping it'll be the one, but I dont have super high hopes and I dont think they'll ever make lineage 3 as a true sequel to the second game
>>577822458>but gook mmo is fun.>gook doto is fun right?>you like fun right, anon?
>>577822551>gook dotothere's no such thing
>>577822594>doto is gook>icefrog is a female gook>Roshan is a gook name
>clinkz on my team >i know the game is auto lost>we actually lose>20-4 clinkz 94000 hero damage 300 building damage
>>577822260lol you dont play dota anymore but you are still here why? but i commend you for that
>>577822752I come back every ti and I always do really well in the fantasy thingthe game is also always installed on my ssd
>>577822752I am going to quit doto soon, that anon is cool, i might go back to poe next season. I realize doto is just shit, if hearld and legend have same skill gap, i dont think it is worth playing until immortal, and I dont think I will reach immortal with these many third world gook.
>>577822380So only nigma galaxy's scores should affect my mainstage predictions, set them lower? Visions being pretty much the overall favorite can't be any higher as I've put them winners until they're crowned grand champions while the rest of the teams were already eliminated
>>577822803> always do really well in the fantasyshow fantasy score and then your prediction.
>>577822897it's here>>577816912I predicted paravision and liquid finals, not gonna post it now
>>577822594I miss mvp pheonix and zypher..
Thoughts on IW vs Spirit?
is there any reason not to put vision on all categories?
>>577823080yatoro the goat no cap
>>577823081it's the safest bet
Where can we see how exactly each different TI player performed in fantasy, like if we picked another for the role instead of our pick in the groupstage
>>577823163from looking at fantasy stats suck ass though, and lorenof is by far the highest earner on mid
Vision core.Lorenof mid.Falcons supports.Simple as.
Won't I make more fantasy points if put the same team in all roles and that team wins TI?
>>577823862not necessarilyits the best 2 games of a series and if you infinite scaling shit like creep score, runes and wards at 300% you can get really high scores on a 100 min game guarantee nigma or falcons will have at least one of these
>>577823862also 9class is a black hole in terms of fantasy
>>577823862no? it depends on everything and mostly luck but if you say bet the lucky and get double xx:x8 of course its gonna be fuckload more than some other dude whose game didn't end in 8. same way if you bet parivision and dont drop single map in playoffs but you bet on the clutch you lost the bonus.my best points on swiss was topson. safe to say he didnt win, he didnt even qualify.
ti status
>>577822594forev was a great offlaner
>>577822981damm im 1200 and you are at 7800? wtf bruh
>>577824563it's still counting
Your welcome
>>577824936mine's almost the same
What are my chances dotards
>>577825243i'm gonna copy you, satanic, lorenof, sneyking.
>>577825243>no GPM for satanicBRICKED it's better than mine
How much should i farm as 4? My 4 almost always contests me for farm in lane, is that the play?
>>577825706I got 33k with no GPM in the group stages. My core banner is kinda nuts desu. My mid was dogshit, but at least I managed to reroll into runes grabbed, so hopefully I get some more points, but the traits for both mid and support are garbage.
>>577825876If your 4 is trying to steal last hits just leave the lane and go jungle and tell him he can play offlane. Then go back after he dies a few times and leaves.
>>577825657I'm tempted to go Saksa for support since I got courier kills and he likes to play bounty hunter.
God hates me so fucking much dude
>>577825243>no wards>no teamfightrough dudeprobably still easily top 95% assuming you've got good predictions as well
whose year
>>577825243If you get the chance to reroll bottom greens I'd go for it but most of these are solid to good and your tiers are excellent.
If you can't solo carry your shit team as a midlaner in a shit bracket, then you truly belong there.
>>577826695So is 9class
>6.2k points>98th percentilewhy the fuck you lyin
>>577827069this game isn't about carrying, it is about coordinating 4 other dipshit from 3rd world to do the right thing. (SEA BTW) Guess what, that is close to impossible. Herald to Legend in 1 month btw, not worth it, Legend has the same retards.
>>577827381no it doesn't, legend players are far better, game starts at immortal ranking anyway
>>577826695I dont have GPM but i got CREEP SCORE, not sure what the fuck is that. Last hits? bricked
>>577827196people are dogshit at thismy friends are at 1600-3200
>>577827675It is the same kind of third world retards, SEA is bad in general, it fucking sucks. I play doto every TI season and quit after, I think this time, I might not come back anymore, and be like predict bro, just predict and not let third world fucks grief me.
>>577827196Mine says 1800 points, 97th percentile.Why the fuck is valve doing this to us?.
>>577827928It's not even over yet, relax anon, it will calculate again after August 23.
>>577826080Yeh thats my preferred method of getting low prio. I find alot of these games im just stuck playing 4 with nothing to do. People are not interested in making things happen, they pass close ganks, dont want to take a tower after a fight, and im sitting here on a hero that doesnt do much. What are you gonna do? Farm as support and keep up on levels? I doubt it, these games are just stillborn
what does nyx even do
>>577828434goes invisible
>>577810381because the other option is picking earth spirit who has 2k health and deals 1000 aoe damage with his spells 10 minutes into the game
>>577828387And its terrible too because 50 minutes later your carry shows up, you have no towers, you cant have wards because nobody is interesting in protecting them or playing in the area, you dont really have items because you dont farm when you are pushed so hard back and all your cores try to share a bit of jungle and you dont generally have any xp for the same reason and people wonder why im underleveled and underfarmed, bitch my hero cant farm for shit and they somehow expect the 4/5 to carry their underfarmed carry to success somehow
>>577828434he fails, it doesnt matter what he is trying
>>577828009>it will calculate again after August 23Thats not saying how much I can relax with my currently gathered points, like could I bomb my predictions and fantasy and still get 90—95+ percentile
>>577828838i dont know man, that's what prediction means, you never know until the end.
God thinks I should kill myself. I agree.
>>577829653Yeah so you deny yourself and the enemy doesn't get the bounty
guess the hero

>>577829874>>577829962>>577829995abaddon
>>577830113totally viable build, reported
I hated abbadon carry meta
>>577829653What’s wrong man, we need u here on d2g
really hope it's enough for 95th, might not be because everyone else is also crafting good teams
no way 65k points is actually the 99th percentile right
>>577830683shit my bad i meant 95th99th was the bugged prediction percentile
>>577832080>>577832080>>577832080
Man I sure I hope I get the terrain for a game I don't play outside of events anymore
>>577832359you are right, i should not care about it.
