Buff Hoodwink
Dinner date with QoP.
what the absolute FUCK, I just played with a guy whose name was "semen on my lips" spelled with some ascii stuff and his profile picture was literally a cock in another mans mouth with semen all over the face of the dude. Are you fucking kidding me valve? Jesus CHrist what the hell is wrong with people and how do they not have AI that automatically blurs garbage like that. Everyone reported him and he was acting all offended and calling us homophobes but jesus come on.
>>580020543can you share the profile picture?
gotta go to bed if I'm gonna make it to church in the morning, lads
>>580020543fuck off augar is based
>>580020543ok gay guy
got my first hate mail in a long time today boys. he even posted 3x on my account!a game where my pos2 sf did less damage than my pos4 hoodwink, my pos5 had 20 deaths, and I had same score line as pos2 playing my pos3, but because I didn't chat with these third worlders in their broken english they blamed me :)))
>>580021095blue board and i dont want to link my profile if i posted the game, theres weirdos here >>580021250what is augar>>580021408not gay
>>580021676>what is augarA guy posting his games which makes the local schizo retard seethe

>>580022371Nothing in this post has anything to do with Dota that said Hoodwink is the best hero they've ever added and Valve knows it
Oh you must want more of these gross candies that no one even eats in real life

This is a post about Windranger.
Yum
Drawfags?
I thought the arcana would mean my QOP is good but she's 2-7 15 minutes in. She lost mid to a weaver.
>>580024238No
QOP losing mid seems to have had a cascading effect on the rest of the game
how do I get rid of computer guy posture? ive done nothing this summer but play all day and I look like a dork hunching over, my uncle laughed at me
>>580026229Embrace it.

sex with hoodwink
You know if they never made this note I'd never have realised it was undispellable to begin with and never would have bought it but it's really good actually
if you´re playing treant on the losing team it looks like sitting in the trees and waiting for the game to end
>>580026229consciously work on correcting your posture.
any pos3 main streamers I should watch to learn better wave management? I don't ever cut waves but I feel like it's something I need to learn how to do now that I'm 6k mmr.
so tired of greedy nigger pos 4s refusing to make urn and making the 5 build it
I'm living in such fucking apathy waiting on CONTENT. Patch my shit hero better, give me skins that I want, toss me more reddit 'humor' satyr skins, give a public apology for the utterly boring TIs for the last half decade.
>everyone flames you>lose>queue again>group with same people>everyone continues to flame you>loseI'm done for the night.
Since there isn't a surrender option they need to have a cheaper rapier you can drop to throw the game and speed it up a bit.
Shit I forgot this one
>>580033831sex
So enchantress really just letting her deer pussy hang out while she's destroying ancients? What a slut. At least hoodwink covers up.
oh boy, i love pushing high ground against a sniper.
>>580034267Kill yourself faggot, people like you ruin dota discussion.
>>580035171It's true though. Imagine supporting Enchantress. I'd be behind her, and just staring at her deer pussy all day. I wouldn't be able to get any work done. I'd just wanna grab her hips and start breeding.
what type of nerf will valve hit bounty hunter with
Maybe she'd flirt a little too. Little comments here and there. I'd flirt back too, naturally. Because unlike you chuds, I know how to please the ladies.
They should make Enchantress sexier you know, just a little bit, fluff up the tail whatever
This placeis but two steps away from being an erp general.

topson natsumi and triple S is a nice core not sure why people are hating on it perfect team for botson to play freely on but they should have just went with batyuk at pos 3
brutal mog
>>580043729lol shouldnt be taking a pic with another man like that
>>580033717Interesting that in LoL you can concede in pubs but not in pro games while in Dota it's the opposite.
>>580044304that's because the people at riot are delusional and don't really like when pro play meta and strats look a little too different from what people can pull off in pubs since their retarded playerbase is obsessed with being able to copy them. So if pros were to call GG the moment a game looks unwinnable at minute 10-15 then they would be settling an example to the rest of their playerbase that surrendering is ok and you should get out as soon as possible whenever you know you aren't gonna win.
>>580044929idk but when i played league (draven main btw) and games looked unwinnable my team would always concede as soon as possible. Not me though. I never would vote yes. But surrender votes in league don't have to be unanimous.I miss draven but I don't miss league of legends.
>>580044304that's because in leeg one or two bad fights can just throw the game into the shitter pros would just insta concede if they could>>580043819

im gonna play 5 for a while and show these fucking noobs it isnt that hard
>>580046129You probably can afford that by earning good money. I'm not American and my braindead working class office/remote insurance claims management job pays more than I got as a legal Associate, really a no brainer for more money AND more free time, the downside was the lack of an advancement ladder but fuck the workload of a legal Partner.

>>580052985It's a fact and everyone knows it.
>>580055559then why is some retard always crying for buffs

>ally picks spirit breaker>we lose>enemy picks spirit breaker>we winI see a pattern. SB is not a good support. No, you running between the safelanes constantly is not useful. There's a teleporter for that now. You're griefing your cores, you're losing XP. No, shadow blade is not that cheeky of an item. Thanks for coming to my /d2g/ powerpoint presentation.
>two games of Rubick mid in a rowThanks for wasting my evening and costing me 50MMR
Everytime i see the words thread bully i imagine CM is saying it and I get hard
Why is someone with no experience as pos1/2 allowed to queue as such? It creates a significant imbalance, provided that the enemy midlaner is a tier 30 Arc Warden for example. In what world does the AI think "yeah that guy whose last 200 games were pos5 and he has 50 last hits combined in all of those games should play against the guy that has 800gpm/900xpm average in mid"
Honestly didn't think we had any item destroyers in Aus but I just had one guy do it and run repeatedly down mid because I asked him to tank the tower we were pushing (I was a 20% hp support hero and he was Phantom Lancer with quadrillion illusions).
End of Service announcement soon
>>580042360natsumi is the worst carry in pro dota theres a reason none of these pinoy retards ever made it out into non pinoy teams
>>580059397why tho
>>580060041No content patches and no balance patches. Especially following another flavorless TI. TF2 life support soon.
>>580060213there is ongoing content in game right nowso you're full of shit doomshitter
>>580059427He's not top tier but he's fine, he's probably the best player on his team.
What do i do on the offlane when i just farm it up and clear the waves coming towards me. I always end up having the creeps under the enemy tower unless i pull the hard camp in which case i send them nearly a double wave and cant farm that camp.Hopefully someone alot smarter than me has some insight. I also dont really want to just send them unlimited farm
>>580060362"Content"
>>580060685Full creep wave hitting the tower means you tower dive and kill them while they try to last hit. If you bait out TPs, just leave because you wasted their TPs and you can do it again in 30 seconds. If they don't TP, free kill. Or just take the tower.
Is Sange and Yasha goodThe game says to buy it on everyone but that feels like where it says Skull Basher is core on every character in the gameI never see it on dotabuff, I only see it on the most retard shitter builds, but those retard shitters always somehow do well and win the game
>>580060906i should have probably specified that its after the tier 1 is down
>>580060497nah yopaj is the standout player in og, the rest is bottom feeders.
>>580061246You are supposed to pull the hard camp, it will kill the creep wave if you don't attack it yourself.
>>580061328>said no one ever
>>580061597Ty
Thoughts on the Anti-Mage?
>>580061706lets see how natsumi does on his future team if he ever gets that international opportunity then. dude is a bonafide shitter, if he was from any other region he wouldnt have broken past tier3
>>580062198don't pick mages against him
I hate muzzies so much. Theyre always ruining my games. Im so glad that Israel is going to nuke that region off the face of the map.
>>580062198Magina? more like Vagina!
there is like 15 people playing this game, can't get a single turbo match where everyone is similiar mmr
>>580040538
>>580044304didn't they remove it because there's no comeback mechanics in lol so once you fall behind you lose but they didn't want pro matches lasting 15 minutes?
>>580046934if you budget properly you don't need to earn 7 figures to live a comfortable life.

windrunner is gorgeous and she inspires me to better myself. I started going to the gym three times a week for weightlifting, I ride my bicycle almost every day for 30 minutes and take walks whenever I can. I'm even about to start swimming again once the pool lanes open back up. All for windrunner, and I've actually gained mmr by exercising and eating well. Once I have a bit of muscle im gonna ask her out
tried the "use turbo to boost behaviour score gimmick" and i genuinely lost comms score even though im muted and commended everyone and didnt ping a single person even once whilst trying to win
>>580080329you know that the score doesn't update after every match, right?
>>580081439this was obviously after about 15 games you fucking retard, how could you be such a fucking moron?sorry sorry trying to keep it PMA
>>580075617do you imagine how sweaty and sour her ass must be after a long day of streaming her archon support games sitting on that gaming chair under the blistering greek sunyummy!
>>580026229the proper way is go to the gym and do back exercisesthe lazy way is to be conscious about it and correct it, like look at yourself passing by store windows or car windows
>>580081694ok retard.

>>580085683I'd be less delusionally resentful, such that I wouldn't intemittently post opaque references to a removed hero in a thread for a game haven't played in years, if they had removed him entirely instead of putting his skin suit on Nyx Assassin's retarded cousin.
>>580085480yeah it seems i was just late and dk is a caster now or some shit wtf
>>580077460OMG YESCan somebody share sven guides, i havent played him ever before
>throw a stack of remote mines in a random spot in lane>enemy carry walks over them>blow them up>type "xDD" in all chat>enemy carry rage buybacksold techies was was the greatest hero of all time if you could play him well. was also fun as hell mining up the side shop with lvl1 mines and clarities, could deny yourself with suicide squad.
>>580087241Im generally never a fan of heroes that you hate to play against but also hate playing with, and old techies was the #1 hero on that list, it just wasn't very fun
>>580087565There are 0 heroes that it is fun to play with in Dota 2
>>580087881what about hoodwink
>>580088026>I'm gonna answer with the most gorilla nigger answer possiblewhat compels an anon to do such things?
Hoodwink when you're winning feels amazing. But it's soul-crushing during a loss. Sometimes I'll just hide in the trees by fountain until the game is over.
I just find it astonishing that Valve removed Techies because Reddit complained about it too much.
Techies wasn't removed. He was reworked to become more competitively viable. Like all heroes should be. No one hero should be called a "meme pick"
>>580087881>IO, Magnus, Darkseer arnt fun to have as allies
>match quality: acceptable>button says acceptDeclined.
>>580088457He was reworked actually because he caused havoc in a TI
>>580088227The game has no principles or vision anymore. Every update after the 2nd Techies rework just proves that the game is in its elongated sundown period, and that the top minds are no longer involved with its development.
>"goverment shuts down electricity">disconnects and gets abandon>24 minutes playedyou can't tell me with a straight face we are same species. forward planning skills comparable to kitten.
>>580088457Yeah bro they're the same. They both do burst damage.
>>580086945he's not.
>>580088026She's too weak and useless to be fun to play against
Dota 2 has traded its grand macro-chess strategy for a homogenized, nonstop 5v5 hero brawler. Playstyles like 4-protect-1, high-ground turtling, and split-pushing are virtually dead, replaced by forced skirmishes over endless map objectives like Tormentors and Wisdom Runes. Thanks to universal power creep, free neutral items, and overloaded hero kits, supports farm like carries and carries brawl from minute ten. The game may have more map space and buttons to press than ever, but victory now comes down to winning chaotic, visual-clutter teamfights rather than outsmarting your opponent on the map.
>>580088457I don't see why the game can't have oddball heroes that aren't fit for 'competitive'. There's 100+ heroes after all you can have 4-5 odd ones
>>580090328it must suck being retarded.
>>580088457Techies was competitively viable, but reddit cried about him so they removed the Real Techies.
>>580090549It must suck not realizing the game is just heroes of the storm now.
Removing Techies was the last straw, I'm now totally going to never stop playing this game but keep complaining about it consistently a little bit more
my beer gut is getting huuggeee what hero should I play?
Just saw someone using the courier donkey skin for centaur and I hope he dies painfully irl
>>580091601ursa
>>580091620I thought you were talking about the actual courier at first and wanted to kill someone for using the default
>>580091093>The game is just a good gameWhat did he mean by this?
why can the hard camp offlane not delete a wave even when stacked?

these are your support duo's builds.

>>580094379they lost. lmao. pos 4 windrunner started with two circlet, two gauntlets and was really annoying in lane, but not much else she could do.
>>580094434They got griefed by their shit cores :(
these are definitely not gonna roll over to part 2. I wonder if part 2 will even have tickets. Maybe something different.
>>580095806There's 11 more Tarot left so they'll just use them
>>580026229lift weights. also change your posture periodically while you're sitting down.
GOLEM GET YE GONE
what do you do when your pos4 mirana snipes all your range creeps and doesn't pull your camp (it's not blocked) forcing you to play under enemy tower as a melee against 2 ranged heroes?
>>580087229he seems kinda naked now doesnt hewould the arthas/northrend set fit the best?
lost a game because someone tp'd back to base again award
>>580097960ignore it play your own game set up a nice farming pattern aiming for timingsif the lane is so bad you can't even cs it's time to farm the cuck camps and the triangle don't waste time just passively soaking xp if you get 2 creeps per wave thats 4 creeps a minute it's more efficient to farm the camps atp
>>580091349But I did stop playing. I only derail the threads on here because that is more fun than the game.
>>580098735He needs no items, he's perfect as he is
>it's another lycan offlane>skipping boots>rushing helm of the overlordHe's gonna win too, because no one is going to come to stop him.
>>580097960jungle.
I still haven't decided which terrain to get. I have Dota Plus™ so I already get a minor change of scenery seasonally, so I'm strongly considering the visual overload of Reef's Edge. I wish I had weathers. >>580077460>>580087229God damn, nice. I got that treasure and don't play any of those heroes (I sort of mained Dazzle before that new ult) so I was hoping for Sven's sword because it's the most expensive. Got Elder Titan's hammer, which was the cheapest lol. Still more expensive than most arcanas though, so that's pretty cool for free.
i've literally never taken tormentor in my last 50 games, nor has the enemy
mason is losing his challenge
I think this game should be more focused on Hoodwink
>>580104198Agreed, perhaps a focused strike to her kidneys to start with then afterwards we can focus on removing her toenails
>>580104384We should focus on appreciating and loving Hoodwink
I should be able to have Hoodwink as a pet in games she´s not in. I don't like going one game without seeing her cute face.
this hoodwink faggot sperg is even more annoying than augar, but they;'re probably the same person. in fact, they are 99%
any pro warlock griefers wanna explain why this dude rushed heart
>>580105982Probably thought the Facet was still in the game lol
i went into the city today bros and its likeabsolute hell on earthhow do you guys manage
>>580105938Yeah the guy that hates on Hoodwink is a really annoying sperg I agree
Remember when people thought necrophos was viable as support?
ggwp bro*avoids*
>>580107796that was ages ago, damn. yeah you could rush mek and heal people with death pulse and it was sort of viable because people had like half the health back then
Anyone saying gg wp gets reported aint no gg when my team was garbage just go next
>>580064272In Australia, my wife and I earn just over $100k each and we spend almost half of that in various taxes and levies. The remaining less than $10k per month is majority spent on our mortgage ($5k per month) and the rest on mandatory expenses like our kids' schooling, health insurance (btw they have another levy for this if your cover is insufficient), groceries, electricity, water, car maintenance and rego, and so on.
is lifestealer a valid ban? I never have an AA, or Doom in my games.
>>580108852Yeah he's one of the strongest carries rn and if nothing is done to him at some point in the game he just 1v9
What went wrong with Largo? Why was he such a failure?
>>580109616I feel like he doesn't really do anything, sort of a generic hero.
>>580109616Fat ugly toad with no aura brewmaster is fat but he has aura
>>580109616Wow, a new Dota hero is generic and unfun to play. Shocker.
>>580110278kez was cool. So is marci. I don't know what they were thinking when they did largo.

how hard is harpoon getting nerfed

Is yelling about how much treadswitching to int before every spell matters the ultimate midwit indicator?
>>580112876I really think it doesn't matter that much anymore, back in the day you had to do because heroes barely had any mana and mana regen. It was essential on heroes like bristle
I'd probably main Bristle if half of his entire aesthetic identity wasn't snot
>>580110278yet he has a unique mechanic and great synergy across his spells
>>580109616I legit never had him in any game, not once
>>580112876who is yelling about it?it's still a core mechanic. I run out of mana farming on drow if I don't tread swap.
>>580112876it's genuinely life changing shit for carries
>>580109616Dota is all about flashy ultsLargo is the antithesis of that, he spams buffs and just exists outside of a q reposition or frogstomp to stop a channel
>>580109616He's a strength hero when he should be an int or uniThat's literally the only issue

I haven't played dota in 2 years. I still post here becasue I like the game and stuff
>>580109616>What went wrongnothing, largo is cool.
we lost to an offlane monkey kinglike, honestly, what are we doing. My offlaner is a retarded toddler, and this guy is a professional. Why do I always get the retards and not the pros?
Has the final update leaked yet? Years of content drought has be eager to see what they are cooking.
>>580116091its awful losing to fucking bots who do nothing but afk farm which is the play when the enemy team is clueless retardsdoesn't matter how hard you win ur lane when your team won't farm in proper places, and won't group to pressure with you at proper times

Hello, today I was playing Slardar, the Slithereen Guard. I was laning alone against Mogul Khan, the Axe and Rhasta, the Shadow Shaman. First of all I disagreed with being solo against those heroes in the first place but whatever. Anyway, I was having some serious issues with Mogul Khan, the Axe using his Counter Helix ability which causes him to perform a helical attack dealing 60/100/140/180 physical damage in a 275 radius whenever he is attacked to harass me, as well as Rhasta, the Shadow Shaman using his Ether Shock ability which strikes multiple enemy units with lightning dealing 140/200/260/320 damage to up to 1/3/5/7 targets. With all the harass, I could never enter the lane and ran out of consumables very quickly (I am referring to Ancient Tangos of Essifation, and Healing Salves). What can I do about this?
>getting dived>support TPs under tower with 0 manaWTF?! Don't come at all if you can't do anything. Why are people like this?
>>580120342maybe the tp will make them run away lol
Who the fuck is almond the frondillo, why do like 8 out of 120 heroes have him and why is he the sole reason for an entire cosmetic pet slot
>>580120342sometimes seeing a tp is enough to spook people.
Why aren't Muerta's 2 guns seperate slots
>>580120468CM has a pet and Marci now too, surprised they're not more popular but maybe people find them annoying in the middle of a fight
>>580120468>>580120763They thought of implementing pet cosmetics but the animations are a detriment and can give you away
>>580120903There's a system literally already in the game that lets them disable things unless you have vision of the hero
told ya, mason doesnt win these 30/0 games on weaver
>>580120903>>580120990To my knowledge that is how it works with the pets but they can appear on your screen when the hero is visible somewhere you're not focused on which could potentially let you know they're around, the armadillo in particular just seems to run around like mad
>>580120468Valve used to create new cosmetic things they could later expand upon but dropped because they're valve
>>580122312Valve also used to update Dota 2 multiple times a year with content but because they are Valve we have things like dead TI 'events' and years of nothing but about 1 week of development effort. While the game is in one of the most balance periods it has ever been in.
>>580120342Two experiences I've had today in that situation>ping that I have no mana, get flamed for not coming anyway>TP, enemy is dissuaded so I cancel, retard ally runs back in and dies, blames me for not completing the TPThere is no way to win
>>580121206the problem with being that far ahead on shitty hero is is that your farm doesn't keep up properly, your team has fallen behind, and you will feed 2.5k gold if you die
>>580122312that bullshit ass excuse because they are valve gotta stop dota 2 makes enough money for them to hire more devs for the fucking game niggas dick ride these niggas too much
>>580122986play deadlock if you want a valve game with active development, thats just how gabe manages his company.
valve could just stop support for games all together and shut them down and they would still make tens of billions of dollars from steam, gaming is secondary to them
I had a couple beers, lads, might just play fighting games tonight
>>580123252lmao fuck sloplock man >>580123368take valve cock out your mouth
Heroes that can auto farm?I enjoy shift+A+Right clicking every farm on the map and then spectating my team
>>580123440valve cock in my mouth? im just stating a fact.
losing BEHAVIOR SCORE for COMMUNICATION REPORTS is a retarded systembut vice versa is not true
>>580123442luna
So timbersaw does your entire health bar in pure damage you can't itemize against, is the most mobile hero in the game, has long range for some reason, and is also a tanky strength hero
>>580124148just stun him and kill him.
>>580124148>pure damage you can't itemize againsthaha yeah
>>580124148just get more health bro???
>>580124148there's a hard counter to timbersawwhat you want to do is buy a quelling blade and cut EVERY tree in the map whenever quelling blade is on cooldownduring the laning phase, just keep cutting down treesduring teamfights, just keep cutting down treesyou can try to convince your team to do the same to yield better resultsno trees = no timbersaw!!!
>>580125183Their Ancient Apparition would have loved that
>>580125674just dodge his ult?????
I wanna play spec in ranked but my teammates are usually too dumb to make space for me and she sucks at jungling.
>>580126639Play morph instead
>>580125319This900 tango strat real
this is your mid DK that rushed a blink and shivas.
>>580130624cute boy.
>>580126639your post says a lot about you as a player. You say you want to play a certain hero but immediately go about blaming your own team for the main reason why you can't pick them in this hypothetical scenario. A normal train of thought would be to say ''I want to play spectre but lately i haven't gotten any games in which the draft favors her''. If you play pos1 you don't get the luxury to pick your hero blindly or based on your own vibes for the day
>>580121342you just know
got carried by hardsupport necro while i bullied our kotl mid out after pinging him once with a heart after i died to huskar, while he was crying all 10 mins he was in the game about help and pinging me with heartswhat we learn from this game?dont pick huskar first phasedont play am offlanedont ping people except its a dogshit mid who if he stayed in the game would have lost you the game
mason is deathspiraling and losing all his progress
>>580137916he's just like us fr fr
Your Pos 5, sir...
>>580138862selfless support gives all kills to the cores thank him NOW!
>>580138862Damn Huskar is shredded and showing some vascularities on his legs.
>>580138862based
>>580139313I feel like we should be able to see an outline of his fat cock through his loin cock. I'd imagine being in battle is very arousing.
>>580139980>loin clothI meant...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSoGSDaMLc4wow what a banger
>>580138862The ultimate sacrifice
>slark pos 1I euthanize
>dotaI euthanize myself
Another game where I was asked as a pos 5 why I didn't rush aghs. *sigh*
>Falcons are leaving the gameGrimDire, even
one game seperates me from legendsi am 5L and 17W in my last 22 games(had a bad loss streak before)i am scared of forced 50 and that gaben fucks me up nowwhat offlaner hero for this feeling?
>>580143119i dont care about saudi kings sports washing teams imho
>>580143389necro is literally free mmr at any bracket
>>580144216Free MMR...for the enemy team.
>>580144497maybe if you're a dumb ape. Are you a dumb ape?
>>580145176he's struggling in bot mmr. he's dogshit.
the biggest trap is thinking necro always needs a radiance. Once you figure out he doesn't, games become more easier.
bruh, what is my 4 doing
>>580147384Trying to carry your sorry ass
>>580145176Whenever I pick Necro all 5 heroes on the enemy team counter pick me and buy a million items to counter pick me. When Necro is on the enemy team no one except me tries pick heroes or buy items to counter him.
>>580147509That's the fun though. I think it was a BSJ video, where he playing Necro 3 and literally the enemy team through everything at him and he died like 8 times. He just kept adjusting his build and he won in the end.
>>580147412It worked. She need MKB though if she wanted to do that build. Jugg had butterfly.
My grammar is fucking horrible. Oh my god. I swear, I'm not foreign. I'm white and I speak perfect English. It's just like 3 in the morning right now and I'm pretty tired.
>>580107796yeah it was around the time where brood was invisible
is brood not invisible anymore? I haven't seen her in a game for like 8 years.
wow, the webs just increase move speed and lower turn speed.lmao. she got dumpstered. Sad, because I never thought brood was good in the first place.
>>580147719That's what the extra bullets are for.
>>580149642Hasn't been for years. But she was strong and meta until last year, with pros picking her as unironic cores in 1/2/3.We had Spider Cart shenanigans at TI2025. They lost those games but it was still really funny, and close.
>>580149642She was popular last year, but no one wants to play micro heroes anymore.
>queue>get pos 5>pos 4 doesn't buy urn>pos 4 doesn't buy wards>pos 4 going full selfish dickhead squirrel build with deso daedalus>teammates bitch about lack of urn/vessel on our team vs 3 cores>start getting people bitching me out for not buying urn when I'm still struggling to finish my force staffWhy is this my fault/problem? It's not fair...

who was the venge in my last game calling people nigs
the fuck am i supposed to do when my entire team collectively decides fuck it lets just not have any outer tower at minute 18 Also why do you play shadow friend for 30 minutes and deal 0 building damage, what is this mindset
>>580155196Nigs assassin and tighthunter

Dota 2 shouldn't have been an isometric game
The Dota card game, Artifact, would have been good gameplay-wise but they made really questionable decisions regarding trading and purchasing cardsArtifact could have been a cool turn based 1V1 Dota game
>>580150254Who were the most recent heroes before them? Muerta was one, she's not Reddit.
I hate being Ancient so much, people are just such retards. >be pushing enemy base>wipe enemy team, they buy back kill most of our heroes but only have a few heroes left with no buyback>carry Ursa insta buybacks and runs into their base 1v3 and dies>enemy team walks down mid and endsWe also got Ursa two aegises (he wasn't smart enough to solo) and each time he ran it down mid without team right away.
>>580162936muerta is just plain forgettable

>>580163467you know what i changed my mind stereotypical mexican grandma spouting random spanish words like my tv shows is definitely reddit
>hero not present in HoN>reddit>hero present in HoN>in this house he's a hero! End of story!seems good enough of a heuristic to me
Out of all the heroes in dota, Omniknight has always been the worst. Hell it's not even right to say the "worst" , he's so mid at everything that he can't even be the worst at anything. 20 years of being the most forgettable hero in Dota.
>>580164751He just has the single most boring kit ever conceived in an assfaggots
Man, I hate how when you're ahead but can't quite breach highground (so 90% of games), the best option for victory is to stop having fun for 10 minutes and choose to do the most unfun boring shit possible insteadI'm so tired
>>580165364there's worse, which is being the other team in that casejust clearing creepwave after creepwave knowing it's a useless deed before the impending doom
>>580165509They're both the opposite sides of the same dogshit unfun game design coin
Is Invoker hard to play?
>>580165864Not really he's overpowered as shit all you have to do is learn the basic combos
>>580165509in order for someone to win, someone must lose
>>580165364Thankfully I'm not Immortal so the team who's ahead will just face roll down mid every time.
>>580167092I'm low Divine unfortnuatelyin Ancient, it was normal to actually win when winning
>>580165509This is particularly bad when you have a dumb nigger on Sniper just clearing the waves from afar, the enemy team is scared to go HG into sniper, so this dumb brown faggot is just delaying life for everyone else, he just needs to autoattack the creep in a completely outskill/outdraft game
>>580165364The year 2026 and people still can't fathom basic strategy in a children's asymmetrical monster fighting game. Can't breach high ground? Yeah let me go back to MY jungle for 20 minutes and allow their cores to recover. Place small camp wards and wait to pick off a support or carry since that's the only place they can farm? No, ping rosh like a retard and go all together so they can deward everything that you've worked for in the last 30 mins.Place a sentry that reveals their observer but don't deward it so you can send a support as bait while the rest of your teammates are smoked? Too complicated, "they're gonna know".Dota is static noise for the decaying brains of the broken shattered souls that have given up on life. There's no intrinsic thought process, all muscle memory and reflex.
>>580168510*buys back* :)
>>580168510let me communicate these basic strategies to my team. they will surely listen
haha wow another game where I have to jungle at level 3 while the other pos 1 is dominating at 5 minutes hahaha
>>580169816if you pick better heros, the pos 4 griefing doesn't matter as muchYou can't pick pos 3's that need to lane
>our team: this guy has 27 commends in his past 30 matches!>Their team: This guy was MVP of his past 4 games and in his last game went 14/1/30!Very balanced matchmaking
>>580170216>our team: not a single hero tier above 4>not a single cosmetic>their team: two players with tier 15+ , all heroes iced out with immortals
>>580170216the pattern that's been most telling lately is the carnival event level. the team with the most red ticket players always loses. and 1 in 10 times you'll have smurfs but most times it's just tourist shitters. nd then you have the level 0 players. they're ALWAYS dogshit they cant be human
i pick spirit breaker and i charge their cores on cooldown non stop until the game is over I dont care about mmr or kills or anything i just charge them
>>580170216>>580170571>>580171651then that guy went 0/12 and lost
>>580172619I'm so fucking sick of hearing that stupid charge noiseHe's in every single fucking game, on my team or theirs
wow FREE seasonal terrain!!thanks valve!
Thoughts on Scythe of Vyse?
>>580175861needs a lower castrange
>>579942902Wait hold the fuck up even LINA's building Shiva's now???
>>580172619w33 also does that and he's rank 130
>>580177068he loses those games tho
>>580177226grubby bros we remembah!
/d2g/ never recovered from grubby
>>580176407she needs it to clear waves
In Dota 2 Powerpoints's hubris, he thought he'd never run out of materialHe thought "Oh, Dota's massive, I could talk about it forever"But he couldn't, he couldn't talk about it foreverAnd now that the well is running dry, he's done all the new player guides, he's gone through all the heroes he cares enough about to make a video on, he's slowed down to cranking out one esports video every week and a halfSoon he'll start streaming, realize it's infinitely easier and more profitable than youtube, and abandon the channel
you don't make any money being a 5k mmr dota youtuber/streamer/whatever the fuck who has absolutely no clue about the gameinstead you go be the only wc3 guy and collect dono's from retards who remember playing it 25 years ago
>>580178242he could go make league videos so you faggots(dota 2 powernigger) can fuck off
>>580178679poker is the perfect way to make money while streamingunless you are really bad at poker in that case its a really bad idea
>>580178679>you don't make any money being a 5k mmr dota youtuber/streamer/whatever the fuck who has absolutely no clue about the gameWorks for rgonax
>>580176407you're telling me pros are 7.6k mmr now? not even immortal draft?
>>580178242we had a good run :(
>Predicted match quality is: Ideal(5)>Skill Balance: Perfect(5)>Skill range: All Players: Very Close (5)>Behavior: All Players: Ideal (5)>someone requeues anyway???
>>580181031speaking for me, sometimes I have this odd distrust of games announced as too perfect. particularly after a win. more often than not ive been deceived
>>580178242Still got about 50 heroes to cover and have 50 more video ideas in a Notepad folder, though streaming is an inevitability. It'll be done on YouTube though since I'm already there and Twitch is a dying platform, so the channel won't be abandoned.>>580178679Erm, I'm 6k.
What was the most overpowered hero ever in dota? I still remember that one meta where troll/sniper were completely broken and then there was one where centaur had like a 70% win rate
>>580181925Very old Tinker and very old Faceless Void.
>>580181898deadlock powerpoints when
>>580181925whatever hero is playing against my offlaner at the time
>>580178679if you speak russian or are female maybe...>>580181898>50 more video ideasincredible
>>580181925bugged underlord
Monkey King on release was completely bonkers as well
>>580182517you say "incredible" as if 30 of those "ideas" aren't "powerpoint about x hero" and 20 of them are "tier list of all the Xs"
>>580182689hero videos are a good refresher for people looking to return to the game or try out a new hero doe
>>580182492game still changes too frequently for any evergreen content like you can make for dota.
Thank you for attending my powerpoint presentation on AlchemistA hero for JewsSee I could do this shit easy
>>580181925Some heroes on day 1 like centaur
>>580179282Games labeled "Pro" come from tournaments usually.
Should I play position 1 Bounty Hunter
>>580184894Do it. I used to go battlefury desolater back in the day.
>>580185147why do people build him like a PA, shouldn't he be building lots of attack speed for the 25 jinada talent and going maelstrom cause he has no farm
>>580184894He is the Alchemist of assistsWhy would you play support meepo in the first place
>>580186410but you could have more money
what if bounty hunter got an item that made it so that instead of dagon being a lightning bolt he pulls out a gun and shoots you
>>580185746This was like 13 years ago when nobody understood the game at all and people thought he was a carry because he had a crit passive. To be fair you could kinda snowball by 1 shotting supports.
Jinada is basically Mortal Strike if you think about it
>>580188483which is why bounty should actually be building radiance
>>580182638People were saying that the hero is completely fine and balanced though?Then the hero ate a ton of nerfs rightfully so and faggots saying the hero is balanced disappeared curious
>>580188741You'll still complain that he's broken if you face him mid though
>>580188836i'm not high rank enough to face an mk that can actually play him though
>>580181898Do a video about playing with a stack of friendos.Pic semi related: HEROES FOR THIS FEEL
>pretending monke king is hard to playlmao
this game gets no video essays thats why its bad
>>580189289dodging shit with mischief takes skill though?unless you're hacking like 100% of the people who actually dodge shit with it
>>580189376rgonax
>>580189406mischief is such a ludicrously small window they should remove the mechanic entirely if they don't want to buff it to be usable without your ping lining up everything perfectly
>>580189889true
if your team doesnt have a shivas you just lose, funny considering the item has been getting nerfed for years now and its still broekn
>>580190075>bigger aoe on spells>huge aoe flying vision + damage>more armor than a tank>slows attackspeeditem is just overloadedcompare it to shit like ac
is MK support viable
>>580190285only for the enemy team
>>580190260yeah the active vision is just too broken in teamfights
>12 hours of dota>only end the day with 25 more MMR than you started withGrim
>>580191353This is by far the worst for your mental health, at least with losing streaks you just go insane and quit after like 8 or so losses. Nothing makes you feel retarded like playing dota all day and gaining 0 mmr
>>580191353>12 hours of dotaeven when I was in high school I couldn't do this, what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>580124148timber is such a non factor now man, sure he can have good games but he's been nerfed so much it's ridiculous how they murdered the hero
masondota2
>guy that added me to friend list after we won is really cool and chill but dogshit at DotaHow do I tell him that I'd have a beer with him irl but he should stop playing Dota with me? I'm all for making friends and not being toxic, it's just a game after all. But he makes it non-enjoyable for me.
>>580192520This happened to me recently one day I just got sick of it and removed the guy. I mean he was decent most times for our bracket and he'd listen to comms which is far better than most but he had these moments where he'd repeatedly feed and played like a headless chicken to the point where I asked myself if he wasn't griefing me out of spite for something bad I did or something. One day I got sick of it and removed him flat out
>>580192520Climb higher than him in ranked until you can't queue together
>>580192125its the furfag pedo who spams here all day, he has no life other than playing dota 60 hours a week and posting hoodwink here and blogging his games. kinda sad, i wonder if he has a disability or something... at least he keeps the place alive
>>580191353just eat well, exercise, mute all chatwe're all gonna make it
>>580192456goodany hero that is tanky as shit with that level of mobility and damage should get shitcanned
>>580192886hes one of the few fun heroes though
>>580193045except for the other 9 people in the gamealong with total aidsnigger heroes like huskar,tinker, brood etc.
>>580192520just do stupid shit with him, what's the worst thing that could happen? you lose 200 mmr? should be easy for you to get in back when soloq anywayor you could just be straight forward with him
>>580193352Nah come on man Timber isn't on that level
solo ranked queue the goal is to winparty ranked queue the goal is just to have fun
i got a 9 minute boots of travel today
>>580193668lol....
>>580192520whenever i add someone from a game they turn out to be unbelievably cringe immediately after
>only one on the team doing well>enemies dont have to worry about anyone else even pretending to play the game>i get focused and die since im literally the only contributing factor>get blamed for the loss by people sitting afk in the junglewhy the fuck do i always get stuck with the niggers with 10k+ matches that just give up the moment anything bad happens? for what conceivable reason could they even be queueing at that point
I add people after games to hurl slurs and insults at them, so I don't lose any comms score.
>>580194279what is your strategy against people who have more than 2 braincells that don't accept random invites from schizos
I suck with doom
>>580194237why havent you turned on mute all chat option?
>>580194529Doom is a bad hero
>>580194462well then i check and see if i can comment on their profile. Sometimes you can't. But people that post screenshots to steam, then the comments are on by default, so I can leave them messages there.
>>580194643Thanks I feel better now
>>580194701you shouldnt tho
>>580194697
>I'm a little squirrelThey should add this as a spammable voice line
i am once again asking if there are any other heroes with non-retardslop taunts like lina or jugg
>>580197786You mean the ones where you stand still?WD,CM, axe, brood, NP off the top of my head
>>580198462ones that aren't a dumbass dance with music playing
>>580197786Slark and wyvern have ones that you can do while moving
>>580198862sorry dumbass dance with music playing or where they pull something out of their ass to make a stupid joke
>activate bloodstone>dump my nukes>nothing happens>die
>activate bloodstone>kill myselfI miss old dota.
bloodstone is in the game as a joke, you're not actually supposed to buy it, it's like the King Bars
>>580197786AM
How hard would it be to turn this into Marci?
>>580199752omg it's like 39 frames
>>580198862Tighthunter
>>580199752just AI it bro
>>580199752pretty ezSend full resAlso what type of Marci outfit/skin you want
>>580200981Just her regular outfit would be fine.
>>580199752i think this guy used to share his animation files but deleted everything because of "her voice was 10 15 years ago you sick fuck" kinda shit
>>580197786OD
>>580201362There were a buncha zako edits on twitter. coffin of andy and leyley had one too, i thought it was weird i couldn't find any dota ones, because it looks kinda simple
>>580197786drow
ogre magi has to be the most dogshit useless hero in the game
>>580202149I regularly watch support Ogres walk up to farmed cores at level 20 and casually do half their health with a fireblast that stuns them for like 5 seconds, you might just be irredeemably garbage at everything
>>580202414I regularly see* unless you go out of your way to load up ogre magi replays and watch them go on cores
>>580202806If their core isn't retarded they just buy BKB and then kill the retarded ogre
>>580202149silencer exists
>>580201754>people making stuff for dota in current decade
Dota 2 Powerpoints used to say position 5 was actually really hard and that good pos 5s were to be properly respected but his entire newest video is just saying how easy pos 5 isI don't think this man has very consistent principles, he may just be writing whatever comes to mind at the time
>>580203038I peruse the dota 2 art tab on steam.
>>580202964yeah and he just won a teamfight by pressing one button in the fountain
my mid just crashed out and disconnect because our pos 5 went dragon knight
>>580203239>even Steam is flooded with onlyfans adsgrim.
>>580202414found the dogshit magi spammer
>>580203209why are you listening to powerpoints the hardest pos in dota is pos 3>2>5>4>1 and he probably using AI to write his shit like everyone else
>>580203740Justifiable
>>580203209you think the guy who floods youtube with daily 20 min+ third monitor content isn't giving it too much of a thought?
>>580182492Maybe eventually but I'm in no rush. >>580182853 speaks wisdom.>>580189208Can you be more specific with your request? I did a members only video on in-houses a while back.>>580203209This week is laconic guides to each position for role queuers, I'm gonna say every role is easy.>>580203918>making things is impossible, it must have taken a supercomputer to create a powerpointSubhuman thought process.
>>58020391823145.
>>580203918it's a mark of maturity to be able to admit a role you don't play (mid) is the hardest to play
Just won against megas, feels good :)
>>580204764Pos 2 is not harder than 3 and pos 1 is not harder than both supports that have to create space for you to afk farm
Where's the clown show update
anyone who says supports are harder than anything in current year needs to be sent to low prio lose queue hell for 2 years
if pos 1 is easier than support post your gpm
>>580205345congrats anon
>>580205656post rank.
>CK stuns me>it's always max durationDoesn't seem very random to me
anyone that thinks having 0 responsibility in game other then afk hit creeps maxing out your gpm should be sent to lp queue for 10 years
>>580205886CK isn't random anymore, remember when they """buffed""" him by making his damage variance like 12 instead of 30
Kinda bored of dota need a balance patch or act 2 of the event to keep me going else ill be taking a break
>>580205970so your gpm, then?
my girlfriend dumped me two weeks ago and ive been drinking and playing dota all day and ive lost 500mmr from playing like shit
>>580206151It's americlap holiday. Nothing happening today.
lol carry players get so salty when you bring up the fact all their responsibility in game is afk farm while others make space for them you legit play a pve for most of the game

>>580213219Hey man, you wanna enjoy AIslop that's on you. I do think it's a telltale sign of low IQ or being of Indian descent. Just noticing the patterns.
You have been mildly inconvenienced.
is support ench's micro really just grabbing a creep and A-clicking the other guy with it?
>>580213356
do i get the bonus gold if i track wk in his spook form
>>580212298Some of her hats give her hair so I consider it canon
>>580213876Wraith King doesn't die when he dies, a Wraith Form wraith king is considered as alive as a regular wraith king. He wins duels while dead, and bounty gold isn't awarded until he dies for real
>>580213219holy brown
>>580207258Can you try drawing Leena?
>>580213219NTA but slav dota community is filled to the brim with ai slop.
I sent a hellbear at the lion bot under a tower and the lion bot hexed me but then I did the hellbear clap while I was hexed and he died and it felt really cool
>>580210773This trend feels like a long lost tribe just discovering ReShade. Always makes games look like dogshit and butchers the art style.
I lost a bot game today
>>580216653what? how?
>>580216903i was practicing microing and at some point we just started getting rolled over instead of me being able to roll over everyone and my respawn timer got to like 2 minutes long
>>580217152>forgot the imagenow no one will see it...
>we're really, really, really behind, not even their T1s are down>they need to siege, but it's a little too early>they try and try, but all we do is protect our carry, 4 for 1, I don't care if I die, I need to be there in the brawl>we OHOHAHAH into victorysuch is life in the trenches, let the rusnig support pick sniper, trust the plan
>>580217382did you try telling them that sniper is actually bad lategame, doesn't scale and falls off, actually?
>>580217524I don't know, their WK with aegis, drow ranger and necrophos didn't really care
>>580210773why not show in game but it does look great almost makes me regret having my 7900xtx but i only play games for gameplay and high fps so not too salty about it
Does the concept of a "hyper carry" still exist? back in the day there was a threat of heroes like faceless void and medusa becoming 6 slotted and by then it was too late. This is from like 2014-2015 dota now and it seems like heroes are 6 slotted at like 45 mins.
there's no fucking way i'm losing to a 5 melee draft rn
>>580220448hard carries only pop up when they're overbuffed or picked by russian autists
>>580193823This is precisely why I hate that they got rid of the separate queues. Now I lose 25 MMR just because I wanted to play with my friends.
I miss when you could nearly wipe entire teams in chronosphere with void, now you need your entire team casting spells and auto-attacking to even kill a crystal maiden.
>>580206435Mine took the kids after I gave her a slap for being a massive bitch all the time and my MMR went up by 300, git gud
Commending all 9 people in the game because Dota+ gives you shards for commending others.I really hated that shit, but now I feel like a tibetian monk.I don't even care if you were a nigger or a griefer or a tinker/pl picker, have a commend. I don't even care. I feel like I have ascended and it's all just because of my greed for shards. I shed my burden.
>>580220448You can't 1v5 anymore, supports have too many saving and delaying mechanisms and there are three cores rather than 1.5, and everyone has buyback and outposts to TP to.
>>580221312ok now I get why people in the enemy team commend me with no reason, I thought they were making fun of me
>>580221453I was likewise confused! But I rolled Dota+ in Candyworks, so now I know.
>>580221405Yeah, I was playing recently after a loooong break and the way the game is played felt completely different. I felt like I had far less individual impact.
I can't believe xibbe is still alive.
>>580221221unc thought there was a massive balance shift instead of people getting better at not being herald apes that group up as 3+ against a faceless void :skull:
>>580221925Dude, I used to be able to farm up a mask of madness in lane and power treads, and then roam around the map killing pretty much anyone who wasn't a strength hero and then snowball out of control. Heroes have far more hp now and mask of madness + treads couldnt even get me to kill a crystal maiden.
People still defend this. The game is heroes of the storm now. BRAWL BRAWL BRAWL
>>580222426I, would be really content with something in the middle of the two
>>580220448You can hyper carry by going 20 and 0 and having too much gold and experience for the enemy to deal with, but your team still needs to play around you or you'll just get stunned and killedThis varies by hero however, I've been 7 and 0 as Anti-Mage and barely ahead and only able to take full health 1v1s.The idea of farming to unstoppable status is dead and buried, people simply have too much gold for your extra manta style to matter vs 5 guys who can each do thousands of damage and/or stun you for 5 seconds each
>>580221654The impact is different now. Now, instead of instagibbing supports, your impact is forcing supports to buy defensive items. High ground is much harder to push than it used to be and most of the time carries are the best on the team at doing this, so if you win a fight but die it's usually just prolonging the game.
>>580220692We did it.
Name a single balance change valve or icefrog have ever made that has actually INTENTIONALLY encouraged farm for 60 minutes then become unstoppable gameplayThey have literally been working for decades to speed the game up and nerf traditional hypercarries whether it be through map changes, items, or just straight up nerfing/rebalancing/keeping these heroes weak.
>>580222426People are still too squishy, you get killed in under a second when up against competent players even with the stats on the right.
>>580222426Nigga nobody wants to play classic dota because its dogshitthere are a bunch of supposed of revivals and nobody plays it, face it grampa your game was worse than nudota
Icefrog abandoned dota many, many years ago. What you are playing is not dota. It died with 7.00 Sorry, I don't make the rules.
>>580220448getting 6 slotted doesn't guarantee a win on any hero anymore.
>>580222426should be aeon disk on the right. shit like that is the real issue
This begs the question of how "He has 6 items, there's nothing we can do" ever even existedThe items have only gotten stronger while the heroes have only gotten weakerIt's not because of farming speed, the entire meme is that Anti-Mage or Medusa go into the jungle for 60 minutes before fighting anyone, that's not farming fast. Spectre is a hypercarry poster child and she has basically nothing to make her a big jungle farmer. Wraith King gobbles up gold before you can blink and he's always been considered to fall off.You can give Medusa 6 items, but there's no magical point where she starts 1shotting everyone and becomes invincible, she's still just there playing the game normally. Does as much damage, dies as easily, still has to play around her team and position. Anti-Mage is scary if he's 5 levels up, but so is anyone else, he doesn't suddenly go from useless to a god just because he finished a 5th item.
>>580223160went on way too fucking long. how did youi not crush lanes with rasta and such
>>580223160It was the ember show for so long
>>580223354>They have literally been working for decades to speed the game upthen why did they make high ground so hard to push and comeback mechanics so strong and things like roshan's roar?
they just ask chatgpt to balance the game now theres not much brain power behind it now
Every problem with the game wraps around to supports being too powerful.
>>580224583bkb refresher
>>580224583tp is no longer an item in your slots and you have a backpack and glyph and sentries are limited.
>>580224583it ain't rocket science damage potential and income being much lower back then meant you really couldn't do shit to spec and dusa with their infinity ehp while they rape your team and getting blinked on by am when you're 4 items behind is a death sentence.
>>580225203>It's not about farming speed, *reasons*>Well when they're 4 items up on you they-
>>580224929this dota died when they started listening to support main redditors
>>580225317he was trying to be nice by not calling you a wrong retarded faggot
>>580225352you're right it was so much better when nobody played support and you had 5 cores because they didn't want to have half an item at 40 minutes while being level 5.
>>580224929if supports were even weaker nobody would play them and queue time would increase even morewhats the point in that?
>Game is solely made worse by supports existing, whether they're strong or weakThis is why mobas are a dying genre
supptrannies won
If Turbo was the Real Dota, would it be a more or less possible game?I don't mean giving turbo ranked, I mean if Turbo was Dota 2 and the current game was a side mode called Turtle or something

Dota developers were way too influenced by Reddit /r/dota 2 over the years, nearly all of the changes come from comments on that place. They pocket ricki was a shitpost there and they added it into the game. Everytime you boot up dota, you're playing reddit the game.
>>580228498>>580228739>>580228790it's zako aka noob
I wasn't really paying that much attention to clownfall, is this it or did they say theres more coming? Or is it just speculation?

Lol, mason got muted. He's gonna fall back into the shadowpool and lose his mmr challenge.

>>580242789Smite 2 players not gargling Hi-Rez and Tencent semen challenge: Difficulty IMPOSSIBLE
mason on storm spirit
mason lost his mid lane and blamed it on the enemy mid lane, and keeps calling his game boring 2 minutes in
storm spirit vs lina is a pretty raped matchup
>>580244229lol i dont give a fuck about hi-rez or tencent since i played all these dota likes unlike you guys smite 2 right now feels close to a 3rd person dota while deadlock feels like its own thing
>>580244574You're right. Don't listen to the drones. Smite is better than Deadlock. Which isn't saying a whole lot. Deadlock is about movement where Smite is all about positioning: just like in Dota.
>>580244574Yeah yeah yeah, you're a brainless addict addicted to Hi-Rez and Tencent cock, we heard you the first time when you said "smite 2".
mason has no idea how to play mid
>>580244903Of course not, it's the hardest role
>>580245301still pushing that false narrative
>>580245394Your explanation, then?
mason has treads soul ring and his enemy mid has aghs kaya
Honestly, mid is the most relaxing role if you know how to keep your cool. Not too many people gank mid in this patch. They usually expect me to do it. Nah, bro, I'm CSing right now.
>>580245564offlane doesn't have runes in the middle of the lane and its a 1vs1 lane just off of tha you cant have it above offlane but its the second hardest for sure
what can you sperm
>>580245658and yet mason can't play itinteresting
>>580245632Do you ping for tps?
>>580247321lol so mason being able to play something is your benchmark on whats harder
>>580242789Any sexy female characters in that game? I only play Dota and gachas
>>580247512If I'm getting dived. Yeah. Sometimes you can tell when it's coming though and I'll just back up to T2 or check bounty rune
>>580248387viscous
>>580248387vyper
>>580248387I love me some Aphrodite. There's also Bastet if you're into furshit.She was a cat girl in the first game and now she's full-on furry.
Supports and offlane are the most fun roles for years now, I don't understand who would rather queue to hit jungle camps for 30 minutes just to not pick up a bkb and lose after a single fight
>>580248554Oh, thought we were talking about Smite gooning. Nvm
>>580245632I played Snapfire support and me and my Krobelus were raping the dual melee enemy lane hard, when my Puck told me specifically to come mid to kill Viper I thought it was a good opportunity. I get there and Viper is level 6 with full HP and creeps meeting on his cliff, and my Puck is level 5. I am level 3 with no boots. I wait and eventually walk up from behind trees and scatterblast him at close range and immediately get DPSed to death whole Puck uses his two spells and Viper gets away still pretty healthy. I go back to lane bot but now they're higher level than me and have boots and I die, getting them back into the game. Never rotating again.
>>580248387yes.
The gacha crowd is more interested in Marvel Rivals than Troonlock.

Anybody willing to review this game? How could dire win this?8987769610
>>580262520Is maxing Tombstone first a thing? Radiant has no frontliner or vision hero, I think to win they have to abuse BH/Clinkz vision and get Axe and maybe Undying on the Drow and other backliners, play around pickoffs rather than fights coz Black Hole + Chain Frost is a nasty combo but you have two invis heroes. I'm not Immortal though so what do I know.
>>580262520I didn't watch it, but just from the scoreboard>no vessel or skadi against Necro>Axe is poor as fuck>blademail on Axe isn't really even that good this game. he should have gone wraps or something>maxing tombstone on Undying is mega griefing. you only need 1 point in it then max heal then decayBH and Clinkz should have just been running around the map killing people in their jungle. Don't know why Clinkz bought mjollnir when orchid is amazing this game for him. Just bad itemization all around on dire.
>>580263690I think Axe probably got destroyed in lane and bought Blademail to farm his way back, BH should have made stacks and pulled waves though.
>Oh, wow, 128 heroes to play. >Who am I going to pick?>Ogre Magi
>>580262520>BH and Undying supportslmao>little teamfight, only Axe Undying vs big magic damage wombo combosComp wise, this is a desperately aggressive ganking lineup. Dire needed to be ganking and camping the enemy jungle non-stop. See a person? Gank him in 3 seconds. Move to the next lane. Over and over again until people on Radiant come to d2g to bitch and moan about Dota is an endless broolfest. And they should never ever take a 5v5. Always 3v1 4v1 5v1 5v2. Because they'd get wrecked otherwise.Either BH and Undying also needed to buy Vessel which neither of them did so they're both idiots, and somebody needed to buy Nullifier but none of the cores are the types to buy early Nullifier so if they didn't gank hard enough early game to oppress Necro and get enough farm to buy a fast Nullifier as 3rd or 4th item, then it's gg.>>580263006Undying had the pos 5 role so if nobody swapped roles, it'd be Clinkz Undying safelane vs Enigma Grimstroke and maaaaaaybe the Tombstone could've been justified. Looking back at a couple games, they don't usually max Tombstone first so they probably did it specifically for the lane.
back to the solo queue grind
>>580266121Wouldn't decay max be better for clearing Eidolons?
Haven't played in like 6 years or something. I was high legend before. If I just jump into rank calibration am I just going to get buttfucked every single game or do they start me low?
guess who's getting the belt again
>>580269824Both.If it's been 6 years, your rank might've been reset so you're Herald but even if not, you'd have 0 rank confidence so swings and extreme differences in games will happen until the game decides you're done calibrating.Have fun.
