>>577832620you can still make a team, yeah
>>577832620not reallyyou missed a round of 40 rolls and predictionsyou can probably get top 50% though but top 95% isnt happening
What is the most "fuck you guys I'll win the game by myself" hero?
>>577832819it used to be morphling, it depends on the role
>>577832620you can't but please try anyway to pad the lower scores so that we all end up in higher percentiles
>>577832819can't go wrong with sven luna pasorta works on mids like qop and invoker (harder) too

>>577832819There's no such hero, just got out of a 39 6 game as a SF, they fed so hard that the sven had out-farm and outfight me.
>54 percentileGg fuck this shit enjoy your 50% torphey and fucking purple itemI enjoy watching ti than trying to predict the future when pros throw gsmes left and right
>>577834776This is what I called hard feeding, won my lane against a SB and a Tide. But lost to a sven who gotten two items more than me and drag it to 30mins.
>>577835028>unranked
>>577834298no way you people actually watch this animal
>>577834583Sounds like something someone that wants people to post Hoodwinks would say
My mom is making me quit dota and get a job, I’m 29 and have never worked before. She says I can stay one more year until I’m 30 then I have to move out and figure it out myself. I’m 6’8 so what about being a security guard or something so I can watch games??
dotards rather farm (you)s than improve
>>577835464>being a security guard or something so I can watch gamesNight shifts.
>>577835464that's really tall. there has to be some job you can get just because of that.
>>577835629A former friend did it and said it was soul sucking but I mean playing dota all day is too so idk
>>577835464Learn whatever Indians talk so you can get a tech job
>>577836023go study something ai related, tell her you want help and enroll somewhere you can afford or whatever
>>577835324is this new? into my folder it goes
>>577836215Saw it a couple of days ago so yeah it's new also I said the same thing when I saw it lol
>>577835324Bros I NEED a gf before I deny myself IRL
>>577836435You can't date squirrels
>>577836596WHY NOT
>>577836729theyre feral
>>577836729They are animals
>>577835464become an athlete
>>577836826so are we
>dotards think they can court, date and marry this
There’s nothing to study for a year and there’s no jobs that care about height, im actually starting to panic because I just escaped with dota for a decade and now the music is stopping. People stare at me because im 6’8 and awkward as hell because I spent my time with dota instead of being normal and socializing. Im like 160lbs too so I look like a skeleton, even kids are scared of me
>>577837042dont forget you're a retard too
>>577837042literally me but I'm 6'3"I'm coding a website tho once I release it it's going viral and I'll make it an app too and I'm makin it big and becoming a millionaire
>>577837042yeah well I'm 5'6 and employed
>>577837152dream big bud
>>577837102Wow come on man that’s not nice
>>577837042go study for 4 years, work part time if your mom tells you to, ur mom just wants you to do something
>>577837152Buy us dota cosmetics when you make it
>>577837178Do you like your job? Jobs look so boring dota is better
>>577837541youre supposed to have a career at this point in your life
>all points from fantasy ranking and predictions are in increments of 10>people on my friend list have scores ending in 2 or 8How?
>>577837042night security guard in a car. basically you just have to patrol around various facilities in industrial areas, you're alone cruising around. if you see anything remotely suspicious or threatening you don't even have to handle it, you flat out call the cops. I did that for 2 years before I got my life in order. It's good money relative to effort and you're left alone. you might think at first that you'll be scared of being alone at night in something akin to a ghost town though, but you'll be inside a car so it's comfy. just put on a podcast or ambient music like i did.
>>577837042Go out and strike conversations with strangers. This is like farming neutral camps so you can get experience.You put points in your "spergout resistance" passive and now you can appear normal to people.Next up you look for a job and use your spergout resistance to get it. You may go for low social jobs like a night time custodian if you really want but in this economy you oughta take what you can get.Once you have a job think about putting in the hours like last hitting creeps: It gives you money for items.Items like: "wand of rent paying" and "branch of eating food this month" and "sange & electrical bills"Eventually you get a gf, presumably. Personally I haven't gotten that far all my ganks have been unsuccessful and I have no supports to help me out.
>>577837042If you're handsome go to the gym and do steroids, you're almost 7 feet tall (and probably white) you can get a girlfriend with money.
>>577837897steroids are expensive
d2g is not your therapist, niggers, stop posting that shit, sort your life with your family, ask for help, for guidance, stop playing video games and go study/work/exercise, once you have a routine that works everything sorts itself out on the long run
>>577838607don't bully people!
im so tired of these shit ass videos
>>577837730How many times did you have to call the cops? Share some stories brother
>>577838642This, dota is a bully free zone for friendship
>>577838685are you being forced to watch?
>>577838921I'm forced to know they exist.
>>577838969You aren't. You can click "not interested".
>>577835195The guy who fed is a legend 2. It just gets to the point I am making, even in legend it is trash third world scums.
>>577836990naughty rodent, she can have my "nut"......... if you know what I mean ;)
>>577839235Play ranked and climb.
>>577837152if that is 2008, you might make it, you will need at least 100 million to 150 million to start a tech-app company and to have a shot of becoming unicorn.
>>577839458I climb from herald to legend in a month, the player base it the same kind of retard on SEA server. I am not going to play after TI, in fact, I probably just come back to predict and watch the finals.
>>577839448
Im 4000 conduct.Nobody in these games can talk or even draw on the map. Yet despite not griefing i keep getting reported for god knows what. The trench is real its just conduct, not mmr
>>577839660at that point you are probably just getting reported because you made a mistake
>>577839592>I climb from herald to legend in a monthImpressive, you should keep climbing.
>>577839598Please get a lobotomy, this is weird and disgusting bro… and by bro, I don’t mean bro
>>577837691rolling score between thresholds for what you get from fantasy
>>577839598hoodwink is a pure maiden and she'd never flash her naughty paws at strangers on the internet!
>>577839660>What is the point of communicating with retards?>a little game theory>Will they do what you say? No.>When they lose, will they blame you? Yes.>Will they report you? Yes.Just play the game and mute them, whatever happens, just ignore and play the game to the best of your ability. >>577839779If herald and legend is the same kind of stupid ass third world players. What is the point? Their skill level is literally the same shit that cost you to -25mmr. Why am I even struggling for? I am already that good. I am not going to do it, after TI, I watch the finals and I quit, and this time for good.
>>577839758Everyone is just getting reported for good measure
>>577839985
>>577840040The point is that im not getting reported for talking shit as nobody can type anything
>>577840040The game starts at immortal, everything else is the tutorial.
>>577838764there were 2 cases of breaking & entering inside facilities but the security system tripped them and the cops came on their own and arrested the thieves. it was chemical plants both times, i don't know what they planned to steal nor was given any info afterwards. What I mostly saw was prostitutes and their clients in cars there because it was secluded and quiet. if i encountered them i just had to get out of my car and knock on the car window and tell them to move along, they usually did because of the uniform. the cops usually don't move for some street prostitution business so when that happened I had to sort it out myself. as i said, it's a pretty uneventful job so the best for a sperg dotard
>>577840153>you can't type>doesn't mean you can't communicateIf you grief it shows on your action, remember body language is 70% of the communication, even in real life. You are communicating in a non-verbal way. Genuinely be helpful, and play to the best of your ability. Aim to be commended every game, it is not hard. >>577840232I am not going to climb to immortal, nigga you know how much third world scum I have to carry. I once had to hard carry with winter wyvern in herald.
>>577840460 shitter games are the easiest and most fun to carry
>>577839501maybe you will but I'm goated
>>577840460Doesnt matter, ay any point you get reported for whatever reason and then they commend you after the match
>still entertaining the herald argentine schizo in the big 26
>>577841018Who? Also why do you care?
>>577840785Watch pro games, see what the support/hard support do, to help their carry. Do exactly that, it is not hard. >>577840605It is never easier when they hard feed. >>577840650ok i wish you the best, when you do succeed buy dotards some arcana
>>577841417Shitters can feed as much as they want, you're playing against the same kind of shitters and you can feed off them and utilize your lead better than the fed enemy. Right?
>>577832819Literally any hero if you're smurfing. As long as you play mid, you can win every game by yourself.

remember chen?
>>577842364Shut up freak
>>577832819Depends on your bracket. Hard to win the game by yourself in Divine and Immortal. But if you're in a bracket where enemies are more likely to go for mega creeps and hold until 60minutes, Faceless Void is the ultimate late game carry. Refresher chrono will win most games.
Do you guys think China did a good thing by limiting underaged gaming to one hour a day? Think about where your life would be if you didn't have those thousands of hours in dota and other games
>>577835464>>577837042get into a trade, don't go for a college degree. electrician is pretty good.
Nigma had a fraudulent run aside from Spirit so I dunno about investing on them
>>577841417Your advice is like reading a horoscope or a furtune cookie. Be wary of taking on any extra burdens as they may weigh you down anon.

Why is there no item that counters illusion heroes? They really need to add an aoe hex item.

>>577848164Gabe would never allow his skins on Fortnite. Timmy burned that bridge.
oh cool here's my carry who's got Dota+ level 30 and 1000 matches on his chosen hero but is nonetheless the same exact MMR as meI hope he's going to do well on his chosen hero, since he's that used to him, and that he's not going to be mysteriously severely underfarmed 30 minutes into the game, and sharting in really confusing but diverse ways
man if that guy didn't grief me after dying just once we could've won this game that's what hurts
>>577848086None of these actually counter illusions
>goes 20 - 0 and throws why
>>577845793Dagon
>>577848503If they're level 30 on a hero at that MMR, that's their peak. The MMR they're in is their peak with that hero. A level 30 injoker isn't going to be suddenly 2015 Miracle- if they have a crusader emblem next to them. Honestly why I stopped paying for DOTA+, too many people see Grandmaster emblem and expect they're going to be carried 1v5
>play with PL>win>play against PL>lose
>>577849404I expect them to do at least standardly well in standard game conditions. But that's my mistake.
>>577848503These are always terrible and it means they're just one tricks who play the game to play their hero rather than play the game, if you know where I'm getting at. Particularly when they're supports, if I see a grandmaster witch doctor or skywrath I'm expecting a retarded nigger who doesn't know what to do on the map

Is this graph legit?
Grubby
>>577851126there are 6 gorrillion players though. your anecdota of 0.0000000000000001% of the player base doesn't matter.
>>577851493I doubt they can accurately pull immortal data since immortal draft is hidden from the api. otherwise yeah, it's the same as any other stat tracking website. I'm not sure what's going on with china either. when did that new law restricting game time go into effect?the most interesting thing to me is that NA/SA have an inverse relationship.
>>577850060funny you say that because I just had a pos4 wd who sat next to me soaking exp the whole lane. I had the lane parked in front of my tower the entire time and he kept trying to pull the large camp into the lane asking me to clear the wave like bro lmao. quit soaking my exp so I can get my ult and start my godlike spree.
>>577851915a level 30 wd*
Wow.
>>577852165I wonder if China has some servers that don't get tracked and exist outside of this ecosystem. The numbers seem too low.
>>577848408Why would people buy an item that provides a purge and rapid life steal on a hero that attacks fast and doesn't like being slowed or disabled? No idea.
>>577852604NA (peak) for comparison disregard the 11PM thing, i think it just automatically adjusts it for whichever timezone you're in

>be mid>if you fight for a rune and don't die you still probably lose too much health and mana and might autolose the lane as you run out regen before the horn>if you don't' fight and the enemy midlaner gets a couple of kills as a result he might be half a level above you and kick your ass anywaySo what are you supposed to do?

Alright guys I am growing progressively anxious. I'm at Ancient and the trench becomes wider and wider. Instead of seeing light and salvation I'm losing the little hope I had left. How is it possible to be 4k mmr and get arcane boots on lion and power treads on centaur? And no before you say anything, they were dogshit. Oh we killed the entirety of the enemy team, let's go back to jungle and farm, what is tormentor, what is roshan, what are wisdom shrines, what is Eul's or Lotus, fuck that we going for Gleipnir and minute 30 vessel boyyy you know how we roll in this bitch.

>>577858072He sounds cute.He should have gay sex with me.
>>577855909Personally I've found it receiving. I'm a lot worse, sure, but stress a lot less about matches now: I know I'm old and out of touch and so I've got a lot less ego on the line. A winning match feels great, a losing match is only mildly annoying and I mostly just think about what I could do better next time. I also only play 1-3 matches a day, but I feel satisfied after doing so.
>>577858072He gives the impression of being an annoying lib, but not a total shitlib. The kind who will laugh at a good nigger joke but probably won't say it himself. The sort we had on 4chan before the culture war nonsense kicked up. I do get really annoyed when he tries to "respect" Puck's "pronouns" and shit though. Even if it's a joke I'm just fucking sick of new age pronoun shit even in a joking context.

>>577852604they have just been cracking down on gaming in general for quite some time now
is there a good video guide on playing carry?serious answers only
>>577864591I got like +2,000 MMR after watching this vid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xbYdiaZG88
>>577855397i suck ass sadge
>>577864805This video is literally just watching a Luna afk farm for free in a game where nothing happens before walking up to the enemy base and being handed a win and he talks about him like his third eye is opened because his teammates didn't feed 30 kills while he jungled
smurfing used to be picking storm mid or meepo and getting 40 kills
>>577865428and thank god those days of mid laners having the most impact are long gone
>>577865354You missed the entire point of the video.
https://old.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1vqp742/whole_xgs_internal_situation/loooo china coping hard>muh ame isn't washed, it was the owners fault!!!!
>>577865657What was it like?
So, what were the best matches sofar?
smurfing used to be picking jungle lycan, soloing rosh at 7 minutes, then memepushing to throne with necrobook 3
jumped to 98th percentile with 7600 points, it'll go down I'm sure but not by much I guess
>>577865826There is no point of the video. He picked a character that farms, farmed, then walked into the enemy base with items.Why isn't his team 1 to 12 in the first 8 minutes? Where are the 4 person ganks to kill him and take his tower with nobody rotating or tping? Why is he allowed to farm lanes without 3 people instantly teleporting on top of him?The description says "Smurfs seem to be able to win any game they're placed in", but if he hadn't won this game that would just be fucking embarassing.
Is there a way to at least reach a 1000?Seems impossible
>>577866571try winning
>>577853846Brazil and California do not give a fuck about dotards.Makes sense, why would you if it's always sunny outside?
>>577866571Reach single digit first then bounce back
>>577866308back then i didn't bother playing ranked but i liked that lycan video so much that i practiced that strat for a bit and then proceed to abuse it for like a dozen matches or so and it was really surprising how effective it was
>>577864591check the analisys on satanic and his play style that is very farm oriented, farming properly is 50 percent of being a carry the rest is map awareness and choosing when to fight
>>577866689Ana......
>>577866446You're basically the whiny voice that Quinn does in the video to make fun of people that complain about their own lack of skill. Work on yourself.

>>577866902>adhom and nothing elseyyyyyyeppers
>>577866571recalibrate if you have it, its in settings optionsthen really make an effort ive guided a lot of heralds outside of that nightmare brackets but its all the same formula>focus on learning to play better>pick 3 heroes you can play properly>ideally mid or 4 >get comfortable with that and once you can hae a 5 win streak recalibrate and teleport to crusadermake sure to be at your best while calibrating no distractions no tress get an energy drink and leave herald behind
>>577865905you could solo win games as mid if you killed the enemy mid or outplayed him heavily and got a couple of runes to gank and snowball with. >>577866308won so many games doing this, you would just check if someone wasnt carrying a tp and you oculd get a rax in like 10 seconds

bros.... fuck this shit
how long will the puppet event go on for? havent started it yet
Um, why can't we just all be nice to each other? THere is so much bullying and people being mean here. Dota is a team game.
>>577867905DUMB VIDEO
mason stream is so garbage now but there is fucking no one to watch
valve got gorgc living in fear
>>577869684We're probably not even halfway over, assuming that the next part will be as long as the first and it hasn't released yet. If Crownfall is anything to go after then it will go on a good bit longer then the part before it.
>>577852604>>577852978>>577853241>>577853846>>577866689>>577866884These are peaks.And this is eurosleep hours....
>>577832080What the fuck is this matchmaking? How hard is it to find 10 legend players to fill a lobby? Why do I get a guardian and they get a scripting invoker? This game is dogshit.Their triple stack have bought accounts with CSTrading.com profile pics and I get matched with a fucking guardian who can't use illusions? What the genuine fuck is this game's problem?
>>577864142it is opium the issue is that without birthrates you have to do post industrial bullshit economy otherwise you are dead
>>577870375thanks, about the candyworks stuff, you get them by playing weekly or are they a one time reward from completing parts of the event?
>>577870559You can unlock a set amount of rerolls weekly by winning games. The candybags can either be bought or collected in the event.
>>577870470>CSTrading.com
>>577870681so I have to start playing weekly now to search for the valuable itens then, I need to get back into playing the game
>>577870470>queue with a friend>you're both "support" mains so you don't lane with each other>split up to lose two lanes>get grouped with a 3-stack of core mains who also don't lane with each other and split up to grief 1 lane each>lose all 3 lanes>blame matchmakingKino.Couldn't have fucked it up harder even if you tried lmao
>>577870912It's not better when we lane together, we stomp our lane and the mid/other sidelane griefs so hard the game is over at 15. Party queue is unbearable.
i have insider info that yatoro has shaved his head
Gabe knew I was gonna KMS so he called off his agents.
>>577871983Nah. Ame's out. Totoro sad. now
>>577870470No one plays party ranked so the queues are fucked to shit
>>577872356I do when I'm farming role queue tokens because it makes the queue faster when I take off strict solo queue.And sometimes I have some pretty cool runs, not cool enough to always leave solo queue
do they still have the 1v1 mid queue?
>>577871983>vsn>losing
if spirit wins ti, does that make larl the goat mid?
>>577866571If you have over 1000 games and aren't attached to the account, you could make a career out of selling low level accounts. It's a true skill to play a lot and still be shit. Accounts that have high trust factor and avoids the Smurf pool go for a lot.
>>577869989its okay anon you can openly say its too complicated for you so you get defensive saying its dumb

How come when I add mid to the queued roles, it extends my wait time by minutes, but also gives me midIf mid is more contested, and I therefore have longer queues, shouldn't I not get it because I have "in demand" roles queued??
>>577875906You haven't seen the video of her finishing a guy off with just her thighs. Amazing.
Why is "Oh, they're spamming magical nukes, so the raindrops would probably run out really fast" the time to buy raindrops immediately?Would it not just run out really fast and then you've wasted your gold and gotten even further behind??
is betboom good?the fatfuck played them 2nd
>>577876123He should move to a better country if he's really SEA
>>577876137Maybe there's just no support games for you in the moment.
>>577876836They might run out but when they do, they got you 6x80 damage block's worth of value, and however much mana regen. It's not a waste, but a trade-off. Feed less, or spend less.

What players for fantasy?
>>577878253went with paravision guys
>>577876137>>577877461It's a programming question. You'd need to see the code responsible for player selection. It's never as simple as shoving players onto teams. That's CIS games thing that prioritizes speed.
>>577870426>>577866884>>577866689>>577852604What site is this???
>>577858072I'm greatful he potentially brings Dota to the YouTube algo but personally? Not a huge fan, I like the dotaology guy more sad he doesn't post anymore
>>577876137mid is now the most on demand role because 5s and 4s are switchable, and offlane players dont spend role queue
>>577870426you know what is insane? if valve did what a bunch of amateur developers did for WC3 and enabled the brazil-EU submarine data cable the entire south america would be playing in europe, basically making it the west mega server, because NA already plays in EU, but valve is too lazy/incompetent/unaware to do it, I wish that brazilian guy that coached paravision knew about this and would alert valve, this would be amazing
>>577879647Mid is the most in-demand role because it FUCKING SUCKS
>>577879671connection de macaco atlanticouma delicia
>>577879763before the switch from hard coded in demand 4 to 3 i get offlane 6/10 times, mid 3/10 timessupport powercreep is real carries cant carry anymore
>>577870470>Sees that it's a party queueYour fault nigger, almost no one plays party ranked, so Dota just kinda grabs whoever the fuck is in a party and puts them as your teammates/enemies Go solo queue and you instantly just see the standard same mmr players as you same medals and everything
>>577879671It's not that simple. Access to the undersea cable isn't automatic or free. It has to be enabled via ISPs on either end of the cable who have peering agreements with whatever datacenter Valve chooses to use.
>>577879968I often wonder why the fuck I'm playing a character whose entire reason for existence is doing damage when Shadow Shaman or Witch Doctor can just 100-0 me for most of the game anyway.
>>577880208valve can afford it, if those guys did it, valve can do it one million times over
>>577880147Nah, it still happens even if you solo. It's worse when you play around noon EST. I got matched against a Divine.
Lina is SMARTER than Rylai!Lina is STRONGER than Rylai!Lina is MORE AGILE than Rylai!Lina is PRETTIER than Rylai!Lina!
>>577879968>>577880349Have supports just become too powerful? I remember when the only hero that can do this was tiny because he can seamlessly go from supp to core the longer that game goes on but now seems like almost every support can do this The other day I had a match against a pos 4 Zeus he was annoying but then 30 minutes hit and he has Kaya + aghs and just started fucking us globally while the enemy slark hunts us down, that game was nightmarish
>>577880369A bunch of nerds doing it for a dead game isn't the same as Valve doing it for several hundred thousand simultaneous players 24 hours a day between data centers. It's not about Valve affording it, it's whether or not the logistics is possible in the first place. The nerds are probably using a bandwidth reseller or just piggybacking off of somebody else's service package and the moment something goes wrong, they'll be fucked for days.And besides, this is all assuming we want the fucking Brazilians in EUW servers. The fuck you smoking? Fuck off with that bullshit.
>>577880467
For the ranked climbings, on average how many reports a day would you say you make?
>>577881227Depends how many times I lose.:^)
>>577881201rylai commissioned this and said to draw her ugly and with small boobs
>>577881113everyone in one server would only make the competitive stronger, the higher end games would then be better and you'd get games at any time of the day because of the timezones being to varied
>>577881386t. spicNo, more Braziians and Peruvians outside of their containment zone will make for shittier games. Fuck off.
>>577881352
these seashitters cost me my top 1,500 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>577881325i mean, yeahif you lose there was more likely than not some dumbfuck inter playing like a retard counting the butterflies in the jungle instead of playing the game, so of course you'd report people like that
>>577879186https://stratz.com/players/queue
>>577881478Not really. I have like 10k more total points than you and that barely put me at like 99,92%. I'm nowhere close to the top1500

>>577881801how many points you've made in the fantasy?
>>577881478>53% percentile>8 correct predictions>got 5316 points>96th percentileWhat? Are people even playing this?
>>577875668Anyone says something even remotely annoying instamuted
>>5778819171200, ended up at 66th percentile
my score is bugged because I've made 52k points in the fantasy game, it says that's 82th percentilethen I got 6 results right in the predictionsand it's showing 98th percentile in total, I think it's lower than that, or the percentile in fantasy needs to be updated
>>577881560But also every shittalker with sub-50% winrate. (close your fucking mouth)Everyone who loses a 4v5. Griefers, smurfs. On BOTH teams. Smurfs that fail to carry and have low winrate go on the avoid list, too.
>>577882027ur fucked
realistically speaking if you didn't secure a 90th and above placement then your only hope is to get lucky with like 95% of the predictions

>>577884842I have no idea, the cable they are using is far newer than the old routing through north america, they might simply be unaware that the option to use it is there, I don't think it's a cost issue because it's not expensive to route traffic, I think it's taking the time and effort to test it the bigger issue more than anything else
mars has to hit all 3 skills to do as much damage as zeus does with 1 bolt
zeus needs a heart to have the same amount of hp mars gets just by leveling up
should dark seer be reworked, he feels like a relic of the past.
>>577887123nah mars crit matches it at some point
>>577887335they never do hero reworks unless the hero has a skill that is actively ruining the game and is impossible to balance. Outside of giving vacuum more cd we've never seen dark seer terrorizing the game
>>577887335no, dark seer is a breath of fresh air from the nigger heroes
>>577887701*raughs in clinkz dazzle*
ion shell used to auto-win melee lanes but now heroes have so much regen and stats that it doesnt even do anything, you could double ion shell a wave and it would fuck everything up
>>577887960>names two heroes that have been reworked multiple timesnot sure what point you were trying to make here
>>577887971he still does you're just trash and coping>>577888082neither of them terrorized the game
dark seer is the last honest hero in the game
>>577889503abaddon is pretty honest too
>pos 5 shadow shaman has died 3 times in lane before the 2 minute markWhat do I even say without sounding like a dick? I just told him to leave honestly, and he just spent the rest of the game flaming me until we lost.
>Dark seer is my favorite hero
>>577889503Lmao gondar is still in the game
>>577890632gold steal is very dishonest
>>577890035Lmao whatever you do you won't win

What happens if I play rankeds in two accounts using the same phone number for both?Is there a way to rig the 100 hours to ranked games?I do not think I will get the map token from the rewards on the gambling thingy.
>>577893681>No boots>Bracer
>>577894231You probably can't use the phone number with the second account. And Valve smurf detection will just ban you or drop a big warning that they know you're smurfing.

What do you do if you're playing mid and realize you can't lane anymore for whatever reason but you don't quite have the levels to gank?
>>577899164you start pinging your supports and blaming your team
>>577899164generally, when a game gets retarded, you should get retarded with it
>>577899164i start farming that one camp in jungle try to get as much lh as possible in lane as possible, try to gank and hope to kill the enemy middid that last time on broodmother mid vs sniper where sniper raped me, but i got a kill on him, level equality and then could gank and rapestill lost because i had newfriends playing with me and we had no vision and i pushed their lanes and jungle where i got jumped and killedcest la viebroodmother is so much fun so many last hits its insane
>>577837771underrated
>>577899164Play Huskar and enjoy the opposite problem
What do you build when you're behind on an AGI ranged carry?
start running it down mid

>>577897752who cares until its put in dota wtf with funny music and replays its literally nothing
>>577900596I'm starting to get people in my lobbies that use microphones. The Jakiro in one of my games today sounded like girl. But I failed her and we lost so I had to add her to avoid list.
>>577899164play ultra defensive just get the lh use your skills to farm get a rune or a cheeky tp to a lane to gankor just ing your supports and request a gank
>>577900703rollercoaster of a reply

So tired of seeing this faggot in all my ranked games.
>>577902638thats the worst feelingwhen you play amazing but your team still manages to drag you down vsyou play like shit but your team carries youthe second feels less shitty but still its hard to not feel like a nigger
>>577902956>tell me you dont have dota plus without telling me you dont have dota plus
>>577903047I avoided him. But now he's on the enemy team. He's a smurf with like a 100% winrate, and he queues every role.
so fucking close i can already taste legend
>>577903463very proud of the build i went fori rushed solar crest and pipe before going for mekansm and then arcane, guardian greaves
>>577903391why are you calling someone gay when you're gay yourself fur boy?
>check again>still 98th percentilewe're doing it, redditreally can't decide between drow and timbersaw immortals, you can't fucking demo the drow immortal with the arcana for god knows what reason
it's worse than the original, specially when I get around to unlocking the level 2
timber also looks bad because the other immortal is orange and orange and purple is a very ugly and gay combination
man i love this game lol
as a fellow 98 percenter i am gonna get the disruptor one because he is the only hero i kinda play from the 5(please liquid win this TI)

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO WORK I WANT TO PLAY VIDYA BEING EMPLOYED SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
>>577905845>6.78that isn't old dota either. Go look at how the 0.XX map was
>>577905978Why do you need being employed? I got fired 2 years ago and I am happy that happened
>>577904480>>577905007Calm down, we don't know how many points the main event will have.
>>577903591>didn't waste money on an AghsI'm proud of you too, Anon.
>>577905978i lost my job and it sucks after a while, you start to feel like a loser and it gets boring playing dota and being poor. grass is always greener on the other side, when i was working all i wanted to do was quit and chill, now im bored out of my mind
>>577905845weird that timbersaw has a different name in in wc3 dota because he was released after TI1
>>577906209"Being poor is bad" implies that having a lot of money is good. But why do you need a lot of money? If I was given $1 mil out of nowhere my life would not improve in the slightest
>>577906313Rizzrack vs Rizzrak?
>>577906339lmao same i wouldnt know what even to do with a millioni am a lazy neet playing 1/4 of a year (over 2000 hours) video gamesi may get a personal trainer or smth but i wouldnt really want that lol
>>577906339>If I was given $1 mil out of nowhere my life would not improve in the slightestWhy? Because you're secretly a billionaire with TWO cowboy boots?
>>577906339I would mostly give my mom a new house if I were to receive that kind of money, so she lives well for the rest of her life and the rest of the money I'd invest in a very conservative investment because I'm a very frugal man, I barely spend any more unless I'm building a new computer
>>577906634>Why?Because money can't give me shit. The idea that money is the most important thing in the world is a lie that has nothing to do with reality
>>577906339I could pay off my student loans and car then... idk. homes cost 600k where I am, so 350k left, could afford the taxes, and idk maybe buy a bitcoin and throw the rest in the stock market... yeah its not much of a difference. 1 million isnt much anymore. i'll take it but it wouldnt change that much.
>>577906738Wow your fake nihilism is really inspiring, Anon. Your cowboy boots must be REAL nice.
>>577906770>bitcoin and throw the rest in the stock marketboth are going to tank hard as drumpf is destined to destroy amerikkka, but 10 year treasuries instead
>>577906112how old was this loading screen?
>>577906417no, that his title is goblin shredder rather than just timbersawobviously many other heroes got changed name because of trademark issues, but that's mostly heroes created before dota 2timbersaw on the other hand was created after dota 2, icefrog continued making official dota 1 versions until mid 2015. just surprising that timbersaw got a separate wc3 name that late.
If you think a million dollars is a lot, you're a thirdie and broke n poor. My dad owns 3+ car dealerships and makes a few million a year just by owning them, he just golfs all day. He gave me a house and I just play dota all day in it lmfao, also have 2 sick cars, a mercades g wagon and a bmw m3. I tell girls I'm a fund manager but my dad just gives me money and all I do is play dota kek
>>577906932Goblin Shredder is a WC3 unit.
>>577906936i remember you telling this story another time, are you augar or are you two seperate thread trolls?
>>577906981most heroes don't have the same title as the wc3 model they use
>>577906936>I tell girls I'm a fund manager but my dad just gives me money and all I do is play dota kekOof.
imagine if this year's arcana is the campo santo puppet, instead of a hero that actually deserves a arcana like enigma, morphling, luna
>>577907069The furry never brags about money. This is the bald lolcow or some other retard.
>All I do is play Dota all day but my MMR is is <8K because..... Uhhhhh...... Well you see I only play for fun or something

How bad is it to play with people from here… I’ve heard mixed things
I've been playing normals for like 10 games and checking the dotabuff of other players each game. How is it possible that EVERYBODY is under 50% winrate?
>>577908390lots of gays who's pick lion and say>Anon you want some sucky?? Want so me sucky anon??? beg for the sucky anon like a good boy! You want mana don't you? you fag, you're a total fag for mana, admit it you WANT the suckyAnd this will go on for the whole game
Idk how Lion's mana drain can GIVE people mana. You can't reverse suck someone. The mana beam even travels like normal if I remember correctly. They should remove that aspect of the ability.
>>577908572I’d break my items
>>577908390>inhouse invite>do fine>guy in the other team complains about my skill level for 50 minutes straight >win>get replaced by regular >never get invited back Pretty much like any other game of dota
Every game I play against void spirit the guy just comes out of the fog kills 4 people and retreats without a scratch I want to learn him, any tips?
dead game
>>577866308you are right, this is why everyone used to be rank 1 mmrIts wierd how that strategy doesnt work when you go overlord and show up with an ancient which is alot stronger than the niggabook ever was, maybe its because you are an idiot
>>577909069pick him
>>577909069https://dota2protracker.com/hero/Void%20Spirit
>>577908390>How bad is it to play with people from herePeople here have laughable 2K mmr on average
>>577909069You need to understand that this guy is raping everyone because he's a good player and not because of the character. He could do the same thing on Crystal Maiden
>>577910363Some characters are more rape-capable than others though
>>577911210some are also more rapeable than others
>>577911210It's sort of true but high rank player will rape you 100/0 on carry CM while you won't do shit on Earth Spirit who is the strongest character in the game currently
im so cold at dota i must have been born in winter
I believe in El Presidente.
>>577875878is this starcraft 2
gib preditictions, i missed the group stage and don't follow pro dota at all
>>577916103This is mine, follow at your own peril.
>>577916235Spirit is not losing to BB
>>577916312You think so? What about something like this?
>>577916312Spirit will lose for not respect banning Kiritych Wisp
>>577911210void spirit isnt one of them
Why is every queue quality "Disruptive" ? I'm at 10k behavior score and I haven't had a game in the last 2 weeks that wasn't in red. And yes, the players were sociopaths that spent a good 20% of their playtime arguing and wasting time. What's even the point in playing if you're not having a good time? I feel like it's just their form of adrenaline, the same way gamblers play not for the money but for the rush it gives them.
>>577908390One of us is in the TI playoffs right now and it is the weakest /d2g/ player.
>>577917758>Imagine leveling from herald to legend>lousy third world players>dying over river for no reasonThis behavior is on repeat, same player base, from herald to legend.>losing position>win one battle because I hard carried/high ground>they think they won>decide to smoke and hunt>get wiped>blames me >repeat This is from herald to legend lmao, I swear their stupid behavior is this false sense of confidence that I bring. Because I can help them team wipe on conditions that we are on advantage. They dont see it, and expect every ground to have the same advantage. High ground/ double damage/ tower/ flank/ strategy all have to line up. I expect legend to be different but nope, same.
>>577917997That's not saying much. Some of the casters are Archons.
>>577918372>castersOk, but the players aren't.
>>577917758i was pos 4 and sniper started feeding the qop in his lane 2 minutes in. instead of jungling, he just kept feeding and begging me to help. when i eventually tped, sniper didnt have enough damage to secure a kill so she got away with killing both of us at 100hp
do we think the grand final bug (3 games instead of 2) is still in? where going for anything other than the grand final winner is fantasy suicide
in low mmr whoever picks more carry heroes wins by default.no matter what your teammates picked just pick the hardest carry that comes to mind
my pos 5 shard aghs zeus and mid lion are pointing fingers at each other
>>577920796Lion is probably going to win on account of his finger of death
>>577917483But he rapes hard in my pubs
>>577921784Any character can rape hard on your 2K mmr shithole
>>577923728Parivision is not dropping a series to Liquid broElims are different from groups the Nisha + 4 strat won't hold
>>577922552But personal experience makes me think he's among the rapiest since he rapes so consistently
where should TI go next? racist replies are not allowed
>>577892685That's why she will secrete silica lubricant, DUH HUH
nt
>>577924765Philippines
>>577926652i said racist replies are not allowed
>>577920513>pick the hardest carryIn herald, you can carry with support winter/cm, but you are right, Pick carry. In archon/legend games, they intentionally feed the other team, so it becomes impossible. It is like some kind of win-trade shit. Their carry always have 1 to 2 item more than me, and they crash with overwhelming force. This game have taught me two things, there's absolute no real difference in herald or legends. All pick unranked might be even more herald than herald at times, new players mode. I realize it is the player base that is the problem, meaning that everything below a certain rank, some claim it is immortal, where the real players are. So the current matchmake might be even be bots doing mmr boosting. For example in SEA server, the worst trench by far, with the most fucked up third world scums you can imagine. They feed, blame and they expect you to do something about it. There's free will, and you can't out carry hard feeding. Imagine an offlane dying 0 3 hard stuck at lvl 3, walk of shame with no tp. There's nothing more to do when you have such players, only wait for the next game and hope it is not the same kind of idiots. Even in unranked all pick, same situation but the quality of the match is slightly better, only if they are not new players. If they are new players it is often 0 30+ kills, not even fun to kill.
>>577924765>where should TI go next?Somewhere where games start when I'm not asleep.
>>577924765gaben's fleet of yachts
>>577927193atlantic ocean or pacific?
>>577924043I can't just go vision all the way. need to mix it up a little no? surely they considered that in the script>>577927035actually feels like bots sometimes. I have games where no communication at all takes place and people do the most braindead shit you have ever seen
>>577924765it cannot be in europe because euros get pissy with russiansit cannot be in the us because donald drumpf is literally insanealready been in chinamaybe in rio de janeiromaybe in manilamaybe in moscowmaybe in canada
>>577924765lima peru
>>577927417It is some kind of win-trade mmr boosting bots I think. It is retarded but that is what it is. They are not going to fix this, just like csgo, these bots and cheaters are just there to boost their number charts, they wont be fixing that any time soon.
How come dota2 doesn't have faceit like cs2 does?
>>577924765Singapore of cos, it is clean, it is quiet, and the third world scums can't afford it. So it is the best place to host.
>>577927758doesnt need it, dota has much less cheating that cs
>>577927758faceit mostly existed for the 128 tick servers
>>577927758the problem is there's no demand for doto faceit. Firstly because the mmr boosters are bots that add numbers to the steam charts. Secondly the bots do win-trade, so technically there are some real players together with the bots from both side, the problem is you lose games because of a bot feeding. The same goes for csgo cheaters, they are spinning in 30,000. They are not being vac-ban because they are number for their steam chart.
>>577928780Feels like bots and mmr-traders are two good reason to have faceit. CS2 faceit isn't perfect but it's better than Premier by a mile.
If I want to play unconventional mid heroes like CM or KOTL should I do it in unranked where I'm not "griefing" my team or in ranked where I'm actually seeing how the heroes do in a competitive setting?
>>577929113play unranked, freak
>>577929045no mmr means, matchmake for faceit will have to be based on something. And faceit is not going to invest time or money to do it.
>>577927661>wintrade bots in SEA archonwhy are thirdies all schizophrenic paranoids who snap if every little thing doesnt go their way
>pos 3 picks qop>I lose mmrWhy?
>>577927784>no racist replies>Singapore of cos, it is clean, it is quiet, and the third world scums can't afford itwhy are racist idiots incapable of reading?
>>577929903There's a trend I've noticed where people want to play mid heroes but are too scared to go mid so they pick it in the offline and do nothing since it's heroes that need levels and a bottle to do anything.
>>577930060dp offlane is viableand qop too, he just needs to kill someone when he hits 6 and basically roam every time the ult is off cd and take risky farm
Hoodwink is genuinely unplayably weak this patch, buffs when?>my esports40% winrate with a large sample size proves she's shit.
>>577930201qop 3 has to max q to not get bitch slapped by the enemy duo which just fucks her farm since it isn't offset by free regen and levels
never forget kuku was banned for saying chingchong right before competing in the chongching major
>>577930635nothing wrong with max q, it's a ganking build
>>577930853good, we have enough racism in this world
4chan thinks racism is cool but it's not.
>>577930906it's good on mid, not that good anywhere else unless it's some shit like qop 4
>>577931064How is it not cool?
>>577930853>bannedin chinathe guy competed in ti after that
>>577931363Overplayed and mostly done by people tryharding to be cool online only to be fucking lame IRL. Anons will call each other jeets, not realizing jeets don't even make <1% of the 4chan userbase, for example. It's also a very convenient way to maneuver around every single point during an argument and slap a label on your opponent whose opinion you disagree with. It's lame and boring.
>>577932071lowkey jeet-coded post ngl
they'll add this after ti
>>577932570WOW YOU'RE VERY BASED!
>>577932591is this real?
>>577929946Third world scums are hated throughout the world. You can be black and not be from the third world. KEK>>577929679MMR boost stops at what rank again? It is in ALL RANKS. That is what they are for, to boost idiots from all ranks.
>>577932841yeah pros swapped and rotated early to get better lane matchups and would sometimes turn top into the old suicide lane that's a nono and now you can't do it before min 4
>>577932629ahaha thanks anon I try my best, I hope I brought a smile to your face
>>577933003There's no wintrading cabals sub immortal. you're highly delusional
>>577933457Reminds me of how TF2 "competitive" will straight up ban classes and items because >"we don't like playing against heavy he slows the game down too much!!!"I'm glad that dota retains the sandboxy nature of its RTS ancestry.Like if you wanted to you could still pick a jungler or do a trilane, altough they have been phased out of the meta completely at least you're not getting banned for not doing unconventional strats.
Ive had an idea how to fix match fixing. Undisclosed matchups. Nobody knows ahead whos playing who exactly, just participants.
>>577934251could also have players be anonymous like in aoe2 hidden cup although much of dota is a personality cult over the game itself
>>5779291131) KOTL is a mid hero. He's not unconventional2) Ranked is so different compared to everything else that it's useless to attempt to "train" for it using other modes
>>577932591>>577933457do towers in league continue oneshot you if you swap lanes or did they change that?
>>577935237they changed it to role quests now which is basically just stay in your lane and do your job for 10 mins or kill yourself (you miss out on exclusive rewards and get crippled in gold-xp)
>>577870470>Group qBro what the fuck hahahahaLove it. I had a game with a legend, 4 heralds on the enemy team and mine with a bunch of guardian/crusaders.
>>577870470that fake russian is so funny
i do miss matu
> Okay. I guess that's my last question. Now that you're back at TI, and this tournament is coming to an end, do you feel like you want to continue your career longer? Like, another two years?>Yes. I wouldn't want to finish my career in 12th place. It's a bad feeling. I'm definitely thinking about playing one more season and then seeing how things go.
>>577937260I hate all faggot pros so much, it's a dream job and they pretend it's too much, what is he going to do if not play dota? go study for 6 years and then start a career making less money than streaming? pros are so fucking retarded
>>577937739>then start a career making less money than streamingstreaming isnt a careeryou're a gloried babysitter and the cash wont flow forever
ppd, fear, universe, all quit at their peak because they had won at life, ppd already went to nfts, crypto, now poker, fear tried to be a dota talent, universe went to school because he's indian his parents forced him toinstead of taking advantage of the moment and play TI for years and years and making a huge bank they threw it awaypuppey is the only pro I respect, he's gonna be with dota until dota is dead and then he'll do something else, he's smart>>577938551the cash is good, save it, when the fad is over, go to school or start a business or live off of passive income
>>577938762they thought they had won at life*
Why are you niggers blaming Topson? The offlane Windranger was the problem.
>>577938762setting yourself back 10+ years to milk the streaming cow is just gonna be a hardship later in lifeyou're basically unemployable at that point>what is the reason you chose not to join the work force out of high school*uhh i played a video game full time then played it more to an underage audience*
not gonna waste my time arguing with this ape
>>577939427should have got into streaming like your hero gorgc
there's only one real reason to quit making money off of dota and go study instead, it is socializing and building a family, it's hard to do when all you do is play dota, topson doesn't have that problem, he'll keep making money with the game, by the time the game dies he'll probably have enough to retire

what are you supposed to do if you dont have a job and cant get one and escape reality by playing dota 12 hours a day and watch your credit card debt go above 15k
>>577956042watched Rio Major and it went so fucking hard
Damn Bristle is really bad, he can't oneshot everyone and doesn't have 10k HP and can't just end the game in 5 minutes, Valvel needs to buff him ASAP

>>577943853everyone is
>>577960519what makes you the judge of what other people enjoy?
is blud grenade the most dishonest item in the game
When I play support, usually the game ends with both hard supports having more gold than I had. Often they have a lot more. Are they greedy, or should pos4 get to have some gold here and there? I always leave farm for others, since as a support I think I should not be touching any.
>>577960519What else is there to do? Wagecuck and shit 1/3 - 2/5 of your life down the toilet for fiat?
>>577961140nothing more satisfying than crushing the guy who is still buying grenades at min 12
Be honest, how many actual games of dota and experiences do you remember in the thousands of hours you've played it, a handful or two? Maybe you went 24-1 as storm mid back in the day, landed an impossible hook, had a race to the throne... maybe a few funny games with friends. That's it, out of thousands of hours you only remember .00000001% of the experience. I'm sorry, that isn't life. I say this as someone who has 7k hours in the game.

Breakdown of the Average Poster. Stunted, Unemployed, and Socially IsolatedThe average poster here is living out a prolonged failure-to-launch scenario. The thread is filled with late-20s to mid-30s men who have used Dota 2 as a coping mechanism to avoid real-world responsibilities for a decade. They are facing eviction by parents, struggling with crippling social anxiety, or working dead-end night shifts just so they can play video games alone. Drowning in Extreme Copium and ToxicityNobody in this thread is responsible for their own failure in-game or in life. If they lose a game, it’s because of "third-world team-feeders," account buyers, broken matchmaking, or maphackers. Casual xenophobia, racism, and slurs are used reflexively as a baseline language to mask deep personal insecurity.Aging Out and Deeply NostalgicThey are painfully aware that their reaction times, mental energy, and passion for the game are deteriorating. They spend more time reminiscing about 2015 meta mechanics (like Jungle Lycan or Necronomicon) and tracking server population charts than actually enjoying the game. Playing more than two matches leaves them exhausted, depressed, and staring at an offline friends list.Degenerate Coomers and Closet FurriesA disproportionate amount of thread energy is spent posting hyper-sexualized fan art, discussing body pillows, and debating the "sex appeal" of animal-like heroes (Hoodwink). Behind the tough-guy, toxic gamer persona is an incredibly lonely individual seeking bizarre internet subcultures to fill a void of intimacy.Hard-Stuck Low-Rank Scrub with High EgoDespite thousands of hours and years of play, the average poster is stuck in low-to-mid MMR brackets (Herald to Legend). They obsess over esports fantasy points, spend hours analyzing high-level server stats, and act like analytical geniuses on forums, but completely crumble in their own pub matches due to bad itemization, poor mental stability, and queue anxiety.

>>577964576you needed your shitty autocomplete tool to tell you that?
>>577964576Counter Point:You just typed out a 500-word projection post about “stunted unemployed lonely losers” while sitting in the exact same chair, same server, same rank bracket, same empty Discord with zero real friends. The only difference is you’re the one who has to pretend the mirror isn’t talking.You’re not analyzing the average poster. You’re describing the man who jerks off to Hoodwink fan art at 3 a.m., then goes hunting for 14-year-olds in “just chatting” servers because actual adult women can smell the failure on you from three time zones away. The “degenerate coomer / closet furry” paragraph wasn’t observation, it was a confession written in the third person. Congrats on the self-dox.All that rage about “aging out” and “reaction times deteriorating”? That’s just you realizing the only thing left between you and a pure pedophile is the fact that most of the kids you try to groom still have better game sense than you. You’ve been hard-stuck Herald-Legend for a decade because your brain is too busy calculating which underage accounts will accept friend requests to actually hit last hits. The “high ego analytical genius” act is the same coping mechanism every Discord groomer uses when the real world (and every woman over 18) treats him like radioactive waste.You didn’t write a breakdown of the community. You wrote a suicide note for your own sex life and then tried to dress it up as sociology. The only thing more pathetic than the average poster you described is the guy who spends his night crafting essays about them while his own DMs are full of “hey, how old r u irl?” messages that keep getting left on read.Sit the fuck down. Your dick already did.

How come I see so many players who are lvl 86 on the event like why that level specifically?
>>577968829That's the number of rooms cleared during Dark Carnival without buying the secret room pack. It's 102 with.
why is there a 4 day gap between group stage and main event? It kills the hype.
>>577969739Because I need to remind my friends to do their war banners.
>>577969739Time for you to get your new predictions in, give players a chance to relax.
>>577969739It was so there is less dispute whether the winner "earned it." So now they get a breather between group stage and main stage where they can study the new TI meta AND the other teams. I feel whatever about it.
>CN TI>no CN team on main stagewhat's the plan?
>>577970589Be able to actually use smoke of deceit. :^)

Just ate a delicious, healthy homemade chicken burrito with white rice, kidney beans, homemade fresh guacamole, and salsa verde all wrapped in a toasted tortilla. Polished off with a glass of spring water. While you guys are microwaving hot pockets, drinking soda, energy drinks, and eating cheatos, my healthy meal will fuel me up and give me the edge I need to gain mmr and win.

Another 55min game of "let's keep brawling and avoiding objectives because kills=everything" when it could have ended at the 30 minute mark. At what MMR does this shit stop? I am fed up with all these anime protagonists.
For me, its BlowrangerLOOK at those fuckable lipsLOOK
>>577979594
>>577977647Love it when someone says "yes just play LD, ARC, Brood, Meepo", like some 2k trencher has any understanding of the map, how to farm or itemize against counter picks.
