ngl, the first 2k or so hours were pretty fun, because I like to think about stuff like item builds, and enjoy having many mechanics in a game that make it quite complex

Between 2k and 3k hours is when I started to lose a lot of the fun

After 3k hours I was playing it out of spite basically. That's when I set myself a goal, that's not too far off. I tried to achieve 1% (Immortal) in other games and even managed sometimes, but the work you put in is just not worth the reward imo. Especially when you want to play other games, too, and also have a real life

Posting a classic. Can you even do things like this anymore? I feel like you just get reported if you don't play your role like you're supposed to. This build actually worked back in the day, you would win mid lane, sacraficing the ranged creep and you could snowball out of control.

It was a fantastic, smart, and viable build back in the day.

>>580297609
Exactly. The brilliant thing about Icefrog's dota was that there were multiple ways to play heroes before people even knew it. Alchemist was always a support, people just didn't know how to play him.

Was that back when memepush was the meta? I remember that as well as rushing mek on razor. I guess the idea was that you could group up and start pushing towers and fighting early. My memory isnt that good anymore.

Jungling was better because it gave your team 4 cores, instead of just 3. This means you can win more games. You only needed one support to buy wards and babysit the carry. The offlaner got more expeirence as well. A win-win situatiuon.

True Herald take. Here's what actually happens.

>>580303187
Wrong. A few examples: Come out of the jungle at level 6 with enigma with a blink and black hole the enemy team. Get tower with eidelons.

Teleport mid with natures prophet jungle and secure a kill or snipe the courier

Gank the enemy mid as bloodseeker jungle with rupture.

All of these won games.
>>
>>580303187
You forgot
>enemy offlane didn't have a trilane fucking them in the ass so they didn't have to hide to soak XP, and actually got to have farm

They only got rid of jungling because reddit cried about it. Reddit was 80% support mains who were too beta to play a core role. You could just 1v9 games as jungle lycan farming up a necrobook and taking buildings.

>>
>>580326560
Definitely a pointless uninspired hero from Dota 1 (2005-2006) , Omni, Visage, Sven, Jugg, Sniper or whatever. These heroes don't do shit in modern dota where every hero is overdesigned. Compare Ringmaster to something like Omni. It's like you're playing a completely different game. A good 60% of the old Dota 1 heroes are absolutely dogshit because the people who made them never expected the game to become so complicated.
>>
>>580299794
The problem is though if you make every hero legitimately viable in multiple roles you end up with a play style where every ability feels like a reskin of other abilities, where the choice doesn't actually matter and everything is the same with a thin veneer of flavor. You see this with stuff like every hero getting a similar movement based effect on abilities, like hops. It's a damned if you do damned if you don't way of looking at the game.

Did you do any actual research? Regardless of what people say, the game nearly cracked 1 million concurrent players this year and is retaining those numbers even after post TI hype. Something that hasn't happened in the last 5 years. And this is before Act 2 and the new hero announcement.

What if there was a hero that actually benefited from feeding and dying?

Like if it's a mid player who got put into a support role and picks qop supp then no, he's just griefing and 99% of the time they are just gonna switch into a core and steal farm around the map if they manage to get a good start during laning phase.
If it's an autist that is genuinely playing her as a utility pick that builds items to help chasing enemies and pushes waves when nothing else is going on then all is well

>>580328059 has a point. The player base is still going strong, it's just that Valve's development for the game is worse now than it's ever been before. 2025 was 1 small collaboration, a new hero, a new jungle creep camp and a new flowing water mechanic for the new rivers. That was it. For the entire year, excluding TI and the Collector's Cache. It's definitely not what it used to be, and even the "big" events like Crownfall and Dark Carnival aren't big enough to come with terrain or weather or any complete sets. Valve has been offering creeps and towers without terrain packs for 6 years strong going on 7 and showing no signs of changing.

I've heard someone use the term "retention mode" to refer to the modern cadence. It's something in between full throttle development and maintenance mode. Just enough to keep people from leaving and nothing more.

It does seem to be working.

When are they reworking techies? Literally everyone that picks this bullshit hero is scripting with blast off into triple mines, the Real Techies from before 7.00 was nowhere near as obnoxious to play against.
>>
>>580351228
its really not that hard, i saw someone do it once and picked it up almost immediately afterwards. its just spinning the mouse in a circle. making any pair of invoker spells is more apm intensive
>>
>>580351389
Doesn't stop 99% of techies niggers from scripting putting down all mines in 0.1 seconds, and in the replay you can see their cursor teleporting around before returning to where it was before the first mine was placed.

I'm losing my mind. I had a head injury a while ago and am forgetting basic things about the game and life.

Reach a threshold, you rank up. Fall below your previous rank's threshold, you rank down.

you will have to adept, some people come back and struggle in crusader, others come back and dominate and turn easily divine and immortal
i would say if you are just as good as back then, you shouldnt have any problems, but if your skills decayed and you cant cope with the larger map and the river system, you may have some problems
also some people complain about all the new objectives like tormentor/wisdom shrine but imo nobody contests them except when you reach high ancient/divine
the new heroes you dont really have to care about except for Hoodwink and Snapfire, the rest dont really get played much
>>
>>580368001
Depends on what your skill was based. If you were just good at using certain heroes skills you will be Guardian. If you actually had an understanding of the game at a dynamic strategic level, you will need to brush up a bit but then still be Ancient or higher.

Like if you didn't really read how the game was going to play based on the heroes in it and use that to determine how to lane/rotate, how to play fights, how to play the map, etc, you will be lower than before because just feeling like you know how to lane a shackleshot or destroy an enemy laner with Viper won't get you to Ancient without some of this knowledge.

Save is a top 3 pos 4 player, maybe the very best if you consider individual skill and not broader team considerations. I know he likes mid but I have no idea why you'd do this. It's like when they put Wisper to mid, as though there aren't fucktons of mid players languishing without teams.

there's an argument to be made about getting nightmare at lvl 1 if it's for setting up first blood at the bounty rune fights but other than that yea, you always grab enfeeble at lvl 1. It nets you more dmg than brain sap or putting someone through nightmare and makes it impossible for the enemy to win auto attack trades against you

do people still say orb walking or is there a different lingo for that now?
>>
>>580387580
Nightmare level 1 is always better even without a rune fight, you get to hit the enemy for free and then walk them out of position.

>OR

a treant isn't gonna care that you put them to sleep cause the moment he gets out of nightmare he's just gonna bonk you once and then get another free hit cause of leechseed and come out winning the engagement
you are also overestimating the positional component cause at level 1 both the cores are busy playing their last hitting minigame to see who gets lvl 2 faster and only then they'll think about going for a kill after they see someone out of position. Even by dotabuff data going enfeeble slightly edges out nightmare.
now of course that doesn't mean i'm saying enfeeble should be maxed first, if anything it goes last. But when it comes lvl 1 enfeeble is a vastly superior skill to secure lane advantage

Very serious question: is there a guide to learn good raw control mechanics?
I'm someone who got into Dota after a lifetime of boomer fps. Really good at aiming and first pov movement, and never played isometric games. What are good binds, good mouse sense, where and how do I click, how do I move the camera effectively? I feel like I understand the game more than I can put into practice what I know. When I watch good players play they just click and press keys differently, the camera is always on point. It LOOKS like they play a different game. But when it comes to dota guides, it's always about the meta.
>>
>>580389992
Can't help you with keybinds and sens, but Dota is Source Engine game and a lot of pro players have custom binds and scripts running for their shit. Like pressing a button to get the camera to instantly go to a rune spot, for example, or each of the three lanes / Rosh pits / etc. Shit like that is legally doable within the Source Engine (as opposed to using AHK, or other auto-aim hex/dodge scripts cheaters use). So if you want tips on shit like camera movement and what to press, maybe you want Source Engine macro guides for Dota, or at least try to find what others are using.

Personally I came from Starcraft and other RTSes before Dota so I use the QWERTY keyboard shortcut style with control groups on 1234567890 with Tab cycling (not that I use them beyond 3 these days), and M3 dragging. Most pros I've seen usually use edge-panning and probably have M3 bound to something else.
>>
Dude I'm so tired of playing with people never looking at their minimaps sometimes I feel like the only guy on my team who's always glancing to get info
>>
>>580389992
Good hotkeys depends on what you want to do, its not a good hotkey if gaben uses it but you never would, then its just additional missclicks.

Just enter some bot game and fuck around with it, thats what i do, control groups are how i manage my units and they are bound such
C hero
1 all units
2 used summon/meepo
3 less used summon/meepo
ect.

If im playing meepo i move them individually and just tap twice on whichever meepo i want to zoom on, or just once to select it. If im just playing some hero with random summons i click 1 attack-move and even i cancel the order on units i dont want doing that. Its not very good, it works.

I guess use keys on the keyboard you can reach, i dont have huge hands so i use modifiers
Shiftx do something
Altx do something else
Ect

It would be easier to help if you had a more specific thing

keybinds are subjective. You need to find out yourself which ones feel comfortable for you. The cool thing about dota is that it lets you use those extra buttons on your gaymer mouse as keybinds if you want so if you are an fps gamer maybe you are already familiar with those.

People have had this stuff for years. My first time hearing it was when RTZ was still everybody's favourite top MMR mid player and people were gushing about how super pro he was for having camera macros. Makes you roll your eyes but that's when I started fucking around with Source macros.
If you go watch tournament games of pro players, you can see a lot of them are using camera macros at the minimum where the camera flashes between specific positions non-stop. That's not them having super high APM and clicking the minimap, then flashing back to lane ad nauseum (though some could I guess), they are mashing camera macro keybinds to watch lanes non-stop. It's not just the minimap they look at, like most players.

Here's an old Google search result asking about camera macros: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2uak7f/camera_set_position_usage_pro_players/
There is a fuckhuge list of commands the game uses: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/List_of_Console_Commands

>>580398079
That's just a convenient window for a handful of positions. You can set as many as you can fit into your keyboard/mouse via console or configs.
>>
>>580399559
I remember it was because of RTZ that I started using the green line when using spells for distance back in 2013/2014. i think you even had to uncheck a 0/1 value in the game files. I had already known about that from fucking around with HUD and crosshairs in tf2. I wonder if people still do that for other games like CS2 and such or if it's a relic of source 1
>>
>>580400183
Dota is Source 2. And according to Wikipedia so is CS2. I don't play CS so I don't know what they do over there but I imagine they have similar access to the console so they could do whatever they're legally allowed to do in-game without sv_cheats.

Offlane you have to bully a carry against a lane dom and often your """"lanepartner""" is a greedy sob. You need good farming with none of the bonuses carries and mids get, have to gank as much as support while putting pressure on enemy carry.

Then carry 2nd hardest because you have a giant target on you and everything is your enemy, your ego included.
Mid has no excuses other than being ganked, but some mid heroes and matchups are autopilot.
Pos5 dips from hard in beginning to the 2nd easiest afterwards post lane.

i havent followed your conversation but for what its worth i think that buying and selling accounts should not only be allowed but is neccesary for the longevity of the game.

Its the easiest way to make third worlders put in hours, gaben can take a cut and people with disposable income no longer have to play 100 hours unranked.

Raising behavior score isn't the hard one. Comms score is. Because any game where you're reported and you typed in chat or used voice comms will count and dock you points.
It's even worse if you get overwatched for saying a naughty word. Then you lose 1,000 comms score. I lost 3,000 comms in one bad day.

>>580426941
the behaviour score system IS fundamentally flawed. get stacked reports against you (which are infinite btw) for not playing exactly how the subhuman peruvians want you to and get sent to the shadow realm.
I dont grief, I play the game as best I can, my teammates grief with shit picks, grief picks in support roles, stupid builds and speaking foreign languges and I get punished for telling them to fuck off and kill themselves? not them for throwing my games?

My behaviour is not "bad" for calling out people who actively throw a perfectly winnable match.

There are multiple people who disproved forced 50. Back in the day there was this guy on the playdota forums who started a new account from scratch and just played mid heroes and destroyed every game until he was back at his original rank.

Grubby also proved this too, he started at 500mmr and climbed to immortal.

If you're complaining about forced 50, it means you are 100% at your rank and right where you belong.

Exposure to dire and radiant ore or energy changes the way you think and effectively mind controls you, the heroes think they're here for their own reasons when the reality is they've been brought here by and are fighting under the influence of the ancients
when you play dota you are an ancient, controlling a hero, and if you don't defend the ancient you die, and therefore lose

i got flamed by my carry because i played bad
which is fair and fine because i did play bad
but that retarded ass fucked faggot his friend in team queue picked gyrocopter hardsupport and went 2/19 while i went as offlaner 0/10 and we lost all lanes hard
so did i do right by turning on my mic and calling that nigger a nigger should kill himself?
it triggers me to no end that they try to find a scape goat when they lose their lane and their queue mate goes 2/19 on gyro hard support

reports SHOULD take into consideration the reporters performance, or how often THEY get reported or what your score/hero damage/gpm/etc is ingame when you are reported

Game coordinator broke. Can't access my hats, not that the new set shows up in the Full Set list for me to preview anyway.

You'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I thought the set gave her big green boobs but you turn her to the side and it's still flatrunner, she also literally has no ass but I don't think that's the same ingame

>new quartero items have actual names instead of "Item set - Item slot"
>no lore fluff
I miss the old shit tier items with little short stories about the hero or the item

Is the game coordinator ever going to connect or am I just not playing games today

That's a good thing, it means your carrying farming safely while the enemy carry has a disrupted lane.
