Buff Hoodwink
pick 3 heroes to be deleted from dota forever
I'm kinda happy. I missed most of the curios.
>>580440272tinkerplnutechies
>>580440272>hoodwink>kez>pango
so did they just fuck up and added herald draft
>>580440272hoodwink and snapfire
windrunner makes me want to move mountains, i hit a 185bench for 5 reps today and was saying for each rep "wind".. "runner" under my breath. ill be ripped in no time and then ill marry her
10k dota+ shards per level for missed curios is crazy. There are very little ways to actually gain these shards.
I'm a hero :-)
mason is a 2.6k viewers wow a few months back he was barely breaking 1k
>>580441246just like the clown event ive been skipping every instance of dialoguecant care about this lame ass faggot reddit shit

>>580441586games good just dont find any interest in the turn in art direction and 'lore'

>no you cant get frequent gameplay patches & QoL improvements>here's your quarterly hats and mindless dialogue insteadwhy are you all content with this. it's like collective psychosis at this point
>>580444352the last gameplay patch dropped 41 days agothe last qol patch dropped at the same timewhy do i need more frequent patches than this?
>>580444482back in the day we got every month a big patch and new items in the rust shop

mason has lost EVERY game today so far or something
>>580445487Buy an ad, spam bot.
>>580440272I can think of around 127. Don't play the game btw.
>>580444743>game changing every monthSorry, but I'm an old unc that doesn't like change. Fuck off with your monthly patches.
When are we going to get one of these?
ALLOW ME TO BUY 3 AGHANIM SCEPTERS!!!>I WANT TO HAVE CATACLYSM!>I WANT TO HAVE MINI TORNADOES!>I WANT TO HAVE VECTOR ICE WALL!ALLOW TO BUY 3 AGHANIM SHARDS!!!>I WANT TO HAVE SUNSTRIKE FORGE SPIRITS!>I WANT TO HAVE EMP PULL AND BURN!>I WANT TO HAVE RADIANCE GHOST WALK!LET ME BUY NOTHING BUT AGHANIM! LET ME BE THE ARSENAL MAGUS!!!
>>580441246>tfw I'm not actually a lunatic
>>580441246So with 12 hero sets every year and 15 out of 127 down we have around 10 years of updates guaranteed when you take eventual new heroes into account
Why did I get an immortal draft in my trench game?
>>580447405Teaser for the next major patch, like when those little froglet dudes showed up the day before Largo released
>>580443786Literally name one good game except Dota
>>580440153>A CHINK IN MY ARMORwhat did he mean by this
>>580447625i dont have a problem with modern dota2
>>580447258sex with imperia
>>580447827And babies don't have a problem with shit in their diaper.
Older dota really was like a chess match, modern dota is just checkers. Someone wasn't carrying a TP back in the day? You could boots of travel in and snag a rax as lycan or a pusher. Now it's a game thats like putting shapes in their holes for kids learning spatial skills.

>>580447625
>>580447258I love Imperia so much.Probably the only one.
>>580440272trollsniperPL
>>580447959you havent had any kids
>>580448404It's got a quarry to settle for sure.But I've enjoyed it immensely! Latest updates are pretty sick, one can finally buy a caravan and have a mobile base rolling around the map. Also get trainers/merchants there, swell stuff.But if you want to have a finished story, you can put it off for like another 5 years. Or, like me, play it once in a while to check out new features
>>580448239wow you have garbage ass taste in games ngl
>>580448239Im sorry. You have autism anon. Those are all autistic games.
>>580448596Even though I shit in my adult diaper alot and never cry about it I know I hate it more than a baby because babies do not have a high iq level like me
>>580448740Last I played was the caravan update, keeping track of the next big one.I play it like once a year whenever a large update drops and enjoy it up until the endgame, there needs to either be more shit to do or they have to remove the hard level cap, hitting the max level just stops any sense of progress at that point of the game.
>>580448239>blurring hours playedCome on anon, let us see!
>>580448945He's in the right place then, this is an autistic general for an autistic game on an autistic board on an autistic website
>>580448793Suggestions? Genuinely interested in something I haven't tried yet>>580448945So what>>580449040Fucking based, my dude. What's your fav hero/build?Mine is Sniper Archer>>5804490877k and 1k2

>>580448793dotards cannot say this
>>580449317>What's your fav hero/buildMy last build was a crossbow/twohanded hammer build on the huntress woman. Ranged feels really strong and the most fun build I've had was a late game two handed axes on the dwarf just going nuts and chaining kills oneshotting everything in range but it took a while to get going. The power progression in stoneshard might be the best I've ever seen in a game with the start being ballbustingly hard and the end game you're the raid boss, love it all the way through.Also is there a wiki that has good up to date info? Last I checked the wiki was outdated as shit.
>>580448239>tfw every game but dota is played with bros
>friendslopI wish I had friends. Hasn't been like that since high school.
My friends are playing the new halloween game and I told them im almost 35 and i cant pretend to be scared of horror games anymore because im a grown man and that it looks like an unfinished piece of crap and id rather just play dota and now theyre all mad
>lost a 65min game because teammate died out of position and didnt save bbthe worst ones to lose
>>580450269the qt next to me in class was playing that game yesterday. It looked kinda cool. I don't know if I like the killers being able to use magic though. I think that's pretty stupid.
>>580450440ask her out, tell her ur high mmr
>>580450440that's crazy. the only time i spoke about video games with a girl at uni i told her i was playing persona 5 and she asked what it was about and i explained it vaguely (the dungeon crawler jrpg aspect, omitting the visual novel part) and she was like cool can you show it to me so i screenshared it to her over discord once or twice and i just remember her being amazed when the cat mascot would turn into a van and we've navigate through the dungeon in the cat-van
pfftt, and there were doubters.Look at those godlike stats.
>>580450925BASED Augar keep climbing :)
>>580450925>plays carry all day>his featured hero is a support

>>580451123i mean your ranking up doesnt mean shit anymore since you can climb on a negative wr% idk what valve is doing but this scrambling of the ranks means everybody is gonna get dogshit games
>losses are -25>wins are +40>you now welcome the forced 50 agents dispatched in your gamesnothing personnel
>>580451782Bretty gud, right?
>>580451123you should improve your winrate, very embarrassing

>>580447258>New heroeslmao. Maybe 1 or 2 across the next 5 years. They didn't even hint a hero this TI.Btw, it will be Bex. Another silly marvel-writing-esque hero that will have no serious lore and add nothing to the universe. The only good thing will be the smoking hot rule34 we'll get of her.

anyone else play random farm td
mason is singing we will grub you
You can climb to Immortal! I believe in you anon!
>>580460368thanks quartero, you're pretty swell yourself
>>580449317>>580450019>>580449489you all are lacking japanese games
>>580450019SHADOBA!!!
mason's team is having a complete civil flaming war going on
>>580460368Thanks, Quartero. Hey is your sister single?
I really like invoker mid, but I lose lane every time. Is winning the CS war and not dying all it takes, or am I supposed to be solo killing the enemy mid?
>>580460368I really really really really really dislike Quartero's and her sister's negroid phenotype
>>580462181wdym?
>>580440272SniperSnapfireTinker
>>580440153>Peruvian picks POS 4 sniper and farms all game>"hey sniper stop farming and do POS 4 things please you're making us lose">"JAJAJAJAJA ME EL GRANDE SUCKO JAJAJAJA"You cannot convince me that Peruvians don't like losing on purpose, it has to be in their DNA
>>580462181they're thieves
mason might lose to an anti mage as necrodietsoda
my hard support is divine 2 and i'm legend 5. I think i left solo queue only off
>>580462375that she looks like a black woman, gheto bandana, thick meaty lips, steals things, dumb.She and Bex were probably created by the same person.
>>580462083Generally you lose but not badly, you shouldn't be getting solo kills but are holding out for meteor hammer farming.
>another game with a griefing rage buybacking into afk subhuman>he's on my team>againThat's 11 times in a row now
if lich was asian, he would say "this rice aint nice", instead of "this ice aint ice".
>>580463074they have to deal with other peruvians the most, which inevitably leads to some form of psychosis
the Divine II player was EXTREMELY toxic. Game had to be euthanized.
I am very glad I discovered Dota 2 PowerPoints. What are some other kino Dota channels you watch?
my tissues cum
tryna have relations with quartero's sister
>>580467757how much did u get flamed?
>>580469154So much. But wtf can you even do against OD? I feel like I got decent farm all things considered.
>>580467757i would also flame my team if i were to play with a bunch of faggots that are two medals below me. I feel sorry for that phoenix that had to endure playing with shitters
>get dire>losewhat the FUCK dotards?
>>580469652it's well documented that radiant advantage is a thing that will simply never be fixed cause not a single dev can pinpoint the exact factors that make one side better than the other. Even the fags at LoL have that issue
>queue all roles>get mid 5 times in row>lose every oneIs mid suddenly a high demand role? I don't mind playing it occasionally, but wtf is going on
>>580471187mid is boring and now a support with more levels
>>580440272PLInvokerLegion Commander
Mason just said the N word on stream
i miss grubby
i appreciate dota powerpoints
>>580473364what
WHAT THE HELL???? How can grubby be FOURTY TWO (42) years old and look like this???? I'm 33 and my hair is thinning and receeding and I have crows eyes, dark circles, a wrinkled forehead and look like shit. This guy is a decade older than me and looks like he's 26. I work an office job too, I'm not in the sun all day or that stressed. Jesus Christ this is crushing me
>>580473580he's hapa btw
>he's about to quit: give him an easy game, boss
>>580473914dude has no idea how lucky he is with that hair. I put it through a few AI prompts.. and he still actually looks really good. I guess years of dota didnt stress him,. this game ages people and thins hair
>>580474707If your hair gets to that point, then there's no shame in going for shaved head.
but u end looking like mason
>>580464621>I'm racistOkay, and?
>>580475212I got long hair going past my shoulder and i'll turn 30 next month. Think it looks pretty cool. I could totally do the viking aesthetic if I wanted too.
>>580475609the winter bulk
>>580475613Not him, but I'm super racist. I still wanna fill Quintessa and Bex up with my white seed have dozens of children.
>>580475724
Is the game coordinator working again?Is it safe to queue?
>>580475758It's been good for me for like the last 10 hours. So should be fine.
>>580473580he looks somewhat lean lol just get lean at least below 20% bf
>pos 4 picks SB, bought zero wards all game, and made no support items>pos 3 keep going into enemy jungle alone, because lul shadow blade, and somehow did not get punished for it much>pos 2 picked Sniper and made Aghs Khanda>all this and I stacked for my carry, like twenty campsThe single mother of four experience of a support is tiresome sometimes.
>>580451651Given that wins give +60% more MMR each, the negative winrate climb happens because you need less wins because you get to your hardstuck point and drop down again.So normally if you need, I don't know, 8 wins to get +200 MMR, then lose 8 games, in the current system it'd be 5 wins 8 losses for the same effect. This is going to affect everyone at any MMR who isn't actively climbing. 2k MMR or 12k MMR, especially those people who were at stable 50% winrate holding patterns because they're where they belong. Valve is forcing a large mass of the population to below 50% winrate for some reason.
>>580475613>racistIts not racist to point it very real stereotypes. I bet you think chinese being good at math is not racist.
>>5804765761. Quintessa isn't dumb2. Black people did not invent wearing head scarves3. Satyrs and minor devils, the actual basis for the "Klephari", are not based on black people4. Neither is those kinds of creatures being thieves and other mischief makers5. Their faces as based on goat's/ram'sIf you decided "this is black people-coded", that's on (you).
If I get another pos 4 bounty hunter in my game I might actually run it down mid. I am so sick of people picking that hero just to afk ward all game
>>580477725What do you mean? Second highest base armor in the game. Does he not trade and harass in lane?
>>580478067lollmao
/d2g/ secretly likes to play Sniper.
>>580479579>secretly
>supports your offlane>wins your gameYou're welcome.
>>580480774Holy
Are there no good writers around? Why does valve continue to use the same tumblr spawn for every event in the game? The art is dogshit too.
Who are the best ranged supports who can play 4 and 5 equally well? I have been spamming Snapfire and Phoenix but they both usually feel a lot better as 4.
>>580481565lol great question that cant be answered
>>580481565Sadly, yes. Much of Dota2 writing was done by Laidlaw before Wolpaw & Co took over. And now it's not even them (r*ddit) but Campo Santo Nigger Shitters fest
man squad1x should really be on a team but has so many great mids out there i understand why he isnt on one
>>580481565whats wrong with writing? its consistently good
Is it ok to go back to school at the age of 30? I'm from the third world where zoomers still play Dota, so maybe there'll be common topics?
>>580484925lol why wouldnt be ok to go back to school at 30 seen people going back at 50 unc
>>580484946Because it's humiliating as fuck to go back to sit on the same desks with 17 year olds and to do powerpoint presentations and do some lame ass maths like your life depends on it while you've seen some shit already
>>580485117Man you are overthinking it lol
>>580485352Really? It's not a 2 weeks camp, it's a 4 years commitment. It's borderline pedophilic to spend 4 years with 17 year old women in the same classes when you're 30
>>580485117>Because it's humiliating as fuck to go back to sit on the same desks with 17 year oldsNobody gives a shit.And if anything, it'll also show the kids that education doesn't have an age limit so they too can consider it in the future for whatever reason.It's not a big deal unless you make it into one. If the kids give you shit, ignore them because they're stupid little shits who don't know shit. What kind of grown ass adult gives a shit about what a dumb kid says to them? Are you this much of a snowflake when you play Dota and some pub trash calls you a loser and tries to blame the loss on you?
why doesn't jakiro have high health regen and armor like dragon knight
>>580485632unironically true and basedi met people in their 30s at college as well and nobody cared
>>580487143he didnt undergo knights training
>>580484925Of course it's humiliating, school? Like the thing children do? Why would you go back? Why would they let you? I wouldn't let a man in his thirties sit in a classroom with my kids.
>>580487862Suicide fuel
>>580487928Sorry anon but don't they have like adult high school equivalent courses at your local university or technical college?
>>580487862it's joever
>>580487981By school I mean university
>>580440272hoodwink 3 times
>>580488123Oh I think that's an Americanism. Obviously you can and should do uni as an adult. I know plenty of people in their 30s at unis, mostly postgrades albeit but still don't even think about it, just go.
>>580488183Post grad is a totally different thing to undergrand in my country. Undergrad is like a really intense kindergarten, and postgrad is a "okay i have nothing else to do anyway, might as well" for all ages
>>580484925when i was in uni 20 years ago we had a cool uncle in his 50 getting high education for his jobdont sweat it
>losing streak>activate dota plus>2 back to back stomps with 1 death eachreal subtle valve
>>580488476Gaben had even recorded the voiceline.>SEE, Dota Plus IS worth the money!
>>580463523all the explanation i need
>>580485117It's chill to be an unc in university just try to keep some distance don't try to be the unc that's 'with it' they'll just think you're weirdbe the top of the class unc who's always willing to help out
Does WR arcana progress count for half in turbo
>>580492105Yes, you'll see a halved number after the game>t. WR spammer
>>580492257>>t. WR spammerwhats your routine, like to physically prepare for marriage with her
>>580492319I do GZCLP with some light running afterwards and swimming to wind-downRealistically you probably wouldn't be able to outrun Lyralei, BUT that's not an excuse not to be stronger than the woman nontheless
>>580492693nice larp
My battle report shows 56% winrate for my underlord games which is pretty decent. Im every so slightly annoyed that some of my other heroes are far worse like 48% on cent i think and 47 on dark seer.The difference is underlord ags, it just wins games straight up. So what are some things i need to do to push my winrate for the other heroes? Honestly cent i think probably my first 10 games were really bad and that skewers the number but im actually considering just not making dominator because the game doesnt play out like that or i am not using it correctly, on seer its different because Ion shield so its giga worth, but cent not so much. I tried briefly to look for a good offlane instructional video but most of the content is either cherry picked or just not relevant
>>580493732so the dominated creep for cent doesnt farm or accelerate farm other than maybe stacking but thats not worth 2300 or whatever. The stats are pretty good. I have been wanting to use the creep to pull the hard camp but even when its stacked it doesnt always clear lane creeps for some reason and a stacked camp just makes the other team just send everything to clear it. Not to mention my lane, the offlane almost always as in 9/10 games turns into a brawl shitshow clusterfuck and i cant stay there, and even when its not some retard 4 is bound to farm the hard camp fucking up my ability to pull.Its not worth, is it 2450, whichever number, just for the stats. Its a blink dagger and 10ish min blink is good for a couple of kills not to mention that i want it anyway later. Im thinking Vanguard is just better in these games with the creep being dead weight
>>580494171You are supposed to use it to pull the wave behind your T1 or to the big camp on top of the xp shrine.It secures you safe farm and pushes the lane constantly.
>>580494171vanguard is dogshit and rushing naked blink on centaur is dogshit if you want to skip helm you go double bracer into heart straight up
how do they choose your featured hero for battle report? i played about 100 games of earth spirit but it features my chaos knight who has 11 games instead.
>>580493732it's hard to give advice to someone without having a full picture from replays but i think the main issue with the dominator centaur build is that i once read that it only really works at real higher mmrs because the build essentially puts centaur on position in which you are just perma farming the jungle while the dominated creep brings the lane creeps to you until you get heart+aghs. You are basically leaving your team to a 4v5 for however long it takes and your only contributions are popping ult a few times. It's a death sentence at lower and average mmrs to leave your team mates without their offlane and specially since there's a chance your pos 1 might tilt and also hide in the jungle so now it's a 3v5. The guys can play at immortal draft or competitive level will play around the fact that there's a centaur on the team and instead draft a more tempo based team in order to make up for the difference of missing 1 hero at the start. Most people should just stick to a double or triple bracer start into blink dagger and just gank lanes with their team
>>580455734>hat kidGood poster desu
>50/50 doesn't exis-
I hate Dire.
>>580496667Not as much as me.
>>580494476Thanks >>580494335yeah i have been but when i steal the wave it nearly always gets taken by someone on my team, same with the camp. Either way i think theres still room for me to improve in this area, cunt is b& this game but i will try a few games later
>>580497138Cent*Its a wierd auto correct but i text my gf from this phone so
>haven't played Pit Lord in ages>choose guide with most upvotes>"yes just go power treads>soul ring>rod of atos>pipe"This is why forced 50 exists.
>>580497138This is why you need to invade enemy jungle at all cost like i've shown you on the map, if you recoil into your triangle + cuck camps and get a nice efficient pattern going while waiting for the wave to come closer to your T2 your nigger pos4 will just shove the wave like a dumb nigger even if you ping it
Radiant CHUDS think their opinion matters.
>>580498165Yeah i cant go there from minute 10-20 or so theres always like 6+ others i dont know what they are doing, im thinking about not playing 3 anymore because i just never have a lane
>>580498165Nigger pos 4 here, can confirm I don't trust my nigger offlaners and I will happily clear the wave if it gets close to the tower or it the enemy shows elsewhere on the map. About a third of the time I end up more farmed than my nigger offlaners anyway.
>>580498165But it has been tremendously helpful for the games where i can go here, at around minute 20 or so you can just do whatever you want basicly. So thanks again, have that picture saved too
>>580498436theres no way your lane becomes the brool lane every game. it should be your safe lane usually. if thats the case just dodge and tp mid and farm until you get your first item. if you dont participate in the standoff you win by virtue of farming
>>580498420What happened in that 8 minute game? Or was it people leaving?
>>580498420Balance in ALL things
>>5804985518 out of 10 or so. Its a nice "safe" area plus they think they help their carry stay in his lane with infinite other people

>>580500696The EoS update should be releasing any week now. Probably as the event for Diretide.
>>580498551Yeah fuck it, im going in. If cent is banned for some fucking reason now that i want to steal creeps in just gonna pick meepo or Naga and steal fucking everything because fuck gaben and fuck all the other lanes
I'm 1020mmr on one account and 4000mmr on the other. Idk where the "they're the same skill level as you" meme came from. There's only so much you can do as a support when you have no real cores, they're just brainless AI generated caricatures of humans playing Dota. I earn mmr confidently on my other account.
>>580501986if you play support better than your counterparts consistently you will climb
>>580501986thats because you cant support subhumansthey will ignore stacked campsthey will ignore set upsthey will ignore smokes and objectivesthey will fall back to side jungle after wiping enemy teamyou gotta play carry supports that can 1v5 and dont feed your god-streak like a noob
>>580502094No, I can give you my 1k mmr account. Let's see how consistently you climb.

I feel like dazzle's ult (nothl projection) is one of the most creative spells/skills I've experienced in a video game. In general, not just in mobas.
>queue>get mid (again)>getting booty blasted by some shithead on Lina again>she disappears every minute to stack camps or something, I don't fucking know>grab an obs and two salves>drop it in her jungle>see two stacked camps (one double one triple)>come back>do my absolute best to fuck up Lina's timing so she can't leave to stack>also almost kill myself harassing her to half HP>push the next two waves, then chug the salves while waiting in her jungle>she clears the wave and comes while still half>blow her up>steal her stacks>take her tower>go gank sidelanes and fuck up her whole team>Lina never recovers and just floats around as a weak backline fighter for the rest of the gameDamn, I can't believe warding her jungle actually worked. Amazing.Why do I have to do this shit for myself in my own fucking lane when I have a pos 4 bounty who should be doing it for me? God I hate getting mid.
>>580512778before the nerfs carry dazzle was a fucking menaceno support should have such powers
>>580511269there's no more boosters in immortal, only boostees.
>>580512778not even close. Rubick is the most creative (and technically complex) hero ever made. there is nothing like him in any single game.
>>580512903>supports on my team>soaking exp, full mana, no movement>supports on enemy team>wards never in stock, tp always on cd, positioned to secure every objective, stacked their jungle
>>580513287Absorbing enemy skills has been done in video games for so long though... megaman, kirby, etc
>>580513287/laughs in Invoker
>>580513572>Comparing a few characters (single ability steal) to stealing complicated skills + interactions of 126 heroes.
Techies was the most complicated hero to ever be made. There are times where you had to manage dozens of mine stacks across the map, carefully manage mana, deny yourself, pick what mines to use. More depth than both invoker and rubick.
>>580510865Why doesn't she have boots?
>>580513908supports are too poor
>>580512778The launch version was more OP, and he had much more shit available with his ult levels, which made for absolute hilarity and chaos.I think they never changed the fact that the projection is immune to Chronosphere so Dazzle is still a good pick against Faceless Void lmao. Haven't seen a FV in a while so I don't know if it still works like that.
>>580513845Sticky bomb is my favorite ability in League of Legends
>>580513845Good thing they removed him and replaced him with a generic nuker that scriptniggers can abuse, that's a lot less unfair and annoying.
>>580513794So you like that spell/skill in the context of dota, which is fine. Rubick is a lot of fun, I'd never deny that.I was talking about dazzle's ult inherent design. You could 'port' it into any modern hero shooter, diablo-like arpg, etc and even classic style games like metroidvanias, action adventures, classic rpg, beat em ups, top down shooters, etc and it would work and be novel and cool.I'm not sure how else to express it. Blink dagger has a lot of skill expression possibilities in dota and it's cool and nice but as a concept it's not new and has been done before and since.
this retard thinks techies was complicated and not a complete grief pick that made everyon even your team miserablelmao.good thing he is never coming back and there is nothing you can do about it, faggot.
>>580514245Use shift, bro.
>>580514245excellent post
>>580514245AGREED sir +1 for you!
>>580514245i don't know what is it with techies nigs and their lack of self awareness when you tell them nobody except them enjoyed seeing that hero in their games.these retards genuinely deluded themselves into thinking people miss the old techies
sexo with quintessa
>OG Techies was on your team>Useless in lane, literally just sapping exp until level 6 only for him to fuck off to jungle>0 fight capabality so you were essentially fighting 4v5 at all given times.>Literally fucking AFK the entire match>countered by a 200g or a gem (which the enemy team was bound to have the money for since techies just a bag of gold anyway)
>>580514981I'm just expressing my own opinion. Only the anti-Techies side has to conjure up this imaginary consensus where every human being who plays Dota 2 was put into suicidal ideation every time they were in a game with one of the most picked heroes (despite the fact that none of them quit the game when Techies was in it).
>>580514981>>580515471SO true!!! upvoted!! THANK YOU CAMPO SANTO FOR SAVING DOTA!!!!
>>580515559Yeah bro, everyone loved playing 4v5.
Reddit: hated techies/d2g/: techies loversI can see that those of you who dislike techies come from a different site.
>>580513426It's especially frustrating because I mostly play support so I know what they SHOULD be doing and it's maddening to see them just dick around or fuck things up for me and the team constantly. No wards, no rotations, no harass, no creep pulling or stacking, no dust, no urn, the list goes on forever.
>>580515851Yeah bro im supporting *AFKs until level 6 to start planting barrles in the rune*
A good techies could solo win lanes. You could easily bait people to hidden proximity mines and then deny yourself with suicide attack which did a shitton of damage. You could just keep spawning over and over again and suiciding. This was before personal couriers so its not like htey could ferry over regen
>>580515964He had an average amount of power.
>>580515559pudge is the most picked hero in dota history but if you think for even a single moment that people suddenly get a spark of joy whenever they see their team mate pick a pos 4 or pos 5 pudge then you are genuinely retarded. there is no imaginary consensus here because nobody outside of techies nigs think fondly of that hero. Keep coping all you want but you'll never get that griefer pick back in the game ever again
All this Techies talk and zero gameplay videos. For shame, /d2g/.I'll do you guys a small favour just this once. As a treat.
>>580515559there is active punishment for abandoning gamesi report every single techies picker ive ever encountered for griefing
>>580514245>99.999999% of old techies players were griefing It was a rare sight getting one that actually knew how to play him.

>>580509306I don't get it.
>>580517002Dude I know its crazy, but I actually miss bottle crowing too. You could be losing a lane mid and then BAM, that bottle would come back and you'd be full health and regen, could also come in clutch for jungling a few camps. Mid is such a boring role now, I miss when it was the most important one that dictated games.
i used this ward cosmetic back when no one had it but since dark carnival everyone has it so i had to change. price on the market dropped hard as fuck when it was the most expensive ward before. fml
>>580517002You thought about it. And I care about you, anon.
>>580517557bottle crowing was one of those subtle tests for measuring players' emotional skills. the team that let their mid bottle crow when they really needed to would win more often. and also the subhumans who would bottle crow on cooldown would also lose more often. it was one of those small things that made sure that certain, ahem, cultures could never climb out of shitter ranks. of course they removed it alongside all the other shopping cart theory mechanics so now the game is like 90% played by half retarded sociopaths who grief each other on cooldown but still somehow manage to be immortal top 5000
>Pugna Pango CM Sniper SlardarThose webms look like someone took the guys pick/lane so he is soft griefing.
i always bought a 2nd courier, why did that never become meta
>>580518426A lot of it was because the interface fucking SUCKED for multiple couriers. All the default buttons and automatic actions were for the first original courier only so any time you wanted the second courier to do shit for you, none of the hotkeys did anything and you had to manually select and control it and also move the items around yourself. A lot of people talk about fighting over the courier but nobody talks about how it's also because trying to use a separate courier was hell and impossible to deal with mid-game.That's why you can't even buy an extra courier now after Valve gave everybody a courier. They just straight up said fuck trying to make the UI work for multiple couriers.
>>580518770ummm control groups?
>Everyone starts with their own courier!CASUALIZED out of existence
>dota 1>get into a game>supp player buys courier>old wc3 client made it so you had to click on shared control units in the options if you wanted your team to use your courier>this meant you could also control their hero>mfw intentionally grief my own team mate by randomly clicking on his hero and make him waste spells >rages and ceases all shared controlfunniest shit in the world. I didn't actually try hard during dota 1 so it was always funny messing with people. I remember you could even destroy your team mates items from the stash at the base if you felt like fucking with them even harder
so about that patch
>>580514245seethe jew
>>580518165I remember that, and I swear as I climbed up to a higher mmr it was like 90% english speakers in my games. There was a light at the end of the tunnel back then at least here in america, and that was if you grinded the trenches and beat the hoardes of peruvians and climbed one day you could get good games with other english speakers and stuff. that dream is gone now

The Real Techies was the antithesis of brool so naturally browns and redditors hated him.
might watch the esport going on rn navi is playing this stack with the mangekyou guy in it
>>580521075I think 4k wad the breakthrough point when I stopped getting Peruvians. But 5k is when you start getting Russnigs in NA.
>>580523803Proof?
>>580523634explain how
I think 10.000 shards per level is ridiculous for quartero. they made this shit for people who had 5 billion shards hoarded with nothing to do.how about they just let you buy cosmetics with shards instead.
>>580521075it was the same on EUMMR inflation, the account buying industry, and the removal of most knowledge checks and trust-based mechanics has erased the whole "mmr heaven" thing that used to exist. the game was relentlessly punishing for players who lacked key bits of knowledge like how to play a lane correctly. you only had to fail one of those checks to basically erase your team's chances of winning, which kept all the animals out of high ranks. of course, valve didn't realize this was actually good design and instead they listened to all the half-retarded redditors who really just wanted to pudge as a support, so now they get endless second chances to win the gamedesu if anything, i think the game has MORE ghouls and animals the higher you climb because you have to be sort of retarded to enjoy the way high rank pub dota plays nowadays
>>580521075>>580526514also the addition of role queue really fucked up the quality of the players. high rank dota players used to be polymaths who could usually play most roles somewhat well. if they didn't, they wouldn't gain rank. now it's all fucked up. in any given game, like 75% of the players are going to play the role they're really good on and the other 25% are going to be floundering and goofing off on some role queue token farm shit, which completely assfucks the game quality to oblivion
>>580524560I've been queuing NA from 2k to now 5k and I've steadily been getting russians. I queue on NA instead of EUW when I lost MMR since queuing NA is like smurfing
>>580526269you can buy cosmetics with shards already..
>>580526929Im not paying 150k shards to go from 85-100 for some purple veno wards
>>580527596if you cant afford it then dont?some of us are lunatics playing 2-3 games a day and getting them naturally
>>580526929every hat should be buyable with a X amount of shards.They dont let you market shit anyway so whats the pointValve are fucking idiots that dont play their own game. Shards should also be way more easily attainable.
>>580528617idk you sound like a communist, inflation is a bad thing
i played zeus mid vs dawn mid and won(who would have thought)enemy sup wrote ez mid and that made me happy after losing a bunch of matches badlyalso i queued all 5 positions and half of the time i get mid like????why are people so cucked that they dont wanna play the second coolest position
>>580528969kill yourself, retardo.
>>580529260nigger your life is worthless dont make them shard also worthless
>>580529138i also googled how to counter dawn in dota2 and ai said euls scepter and it worked, it was esspecially good because enemy also had a legion
OH COOL MANYEAH I GUESS YOU CAN JUST DIE AND LEAVE MY LANE, WHY NOTLET'S JUST ABANDON IT FOR NO REASON AND LET THE ENEMY CORE FREEFARM THE LANE AND THE NEARBY CAMPS WITH 0 RESISTANCE, FUCK ITI LOVE FARMING THE KEK JUNGLE IT'S THE ONLY THING I LOOKED FORWARD TO DOING WHILE QUEUEING FOR THIS GAMEI MEAN, AFTER MY FARMING ITEM COMES OUT 5 FULL MINUTES AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO, IT WON'T BE LONG I CAN START DOING THINGS.THAT'S FINE, I CAN SPARE 5 FULL MINUTES THAT I'LL BE BEHIND. IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. GOOD LUCK IN THAT OTHER LANE, BRO.

As annoying as a support making a bad judgement call on when to leave the lane isI hate it when people refuse to get out of bad fights or worse the 4 times congaline of 1v5Or people insisting we must pussy def highground and slowly loseOr people demanding to BROOOOL the enemy ahead team.
imagine being this dogshit lmao

>>580524560yep, it was called "the 4k dream". This photo is from 2014 (date in bottom left), I took a screenshot of it because it was actually a big deal back then. 4k was a somewhat high mmr. climbed from like 2100 to 4k, then got to almost 5k and couldnt get past that because that was pro territory.

>>580542396Pit lord is comfy
I am once again asking how the guy I won lane against can go around killing everybody else 40 times and get to play against bots while I only end up barely ahead of everyone else despite having way more gold than themWhy I'm the one who gets bootsless Wraith Kings, Blinkless Axes and Mask of Madness Abaddons while everyone else gets to play normal dotaAm I really just that fucking incredible that I have to be placed onto the teams of total fucking gutter mororns to balance the mmr?
>>580542864skill difflane doesn't mean shit
>>580542864>oh i'm 1k ahead after lane? LOL im so good, i'm going to afk roam for the next 5 minutes like a RETARD
How am I supposed to even play like this? In the last 2 months I've dropped 6k communication score and I dont even know what to do. If I win, then I get salty reports from the enemy team. If I lose, then I get reported by my team. I dont have any friends who play this game anymore, so I cant just party up and play 23942394 games until my score fixes itself.
>>580543239I farmed, actuallyBut then you're going to say >Farming while ahead?? RETARDThere's no fucking winning

Name a single melee carry with a better feeling auto animation than juggernaut
>>580542864you kinda have to spectate a few games and look at what your subhuman teammates are doing. after a while you get a grasp of how often you just have a subhuman retard who is putting less than 1% of the effort you are, so you never had a chance to begin with. essentially it'll teach you not to care that much if the game just seems unwinnable, it is what it is, gg go next, afk farm until the ancient blows up. it's what all the high rank autismos do, and it's also the best way you can grief your teammates back (by refusing to try to carry them when they cry about it)
>>580543401Popping a smoke counts as communication, as does calling missing. Reports also have amplified effects the lower your score is.Not communicating is also throwing.
>>580544053chaos knight
idk how many times i gotta say it, but pinging and smokes don't add to comms score. damn fools. Only typing in chat.
>>580544541well then continue to get comm reports thenI went from 30~ a session to 0-1 Didn't help that my account was already tanked though
>>580544541>Reports also have amplified effects the lower your score isI've noticed once you drop below like 4k, pretty much any report will ding you hard and give you the "action taken" single pick, even if you literally can't communicate and just played normally

>>580546596Look at this incredible game I just played.https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/8992484998
>>580493404Why
So it's 22 minutesThey've taken all our tier 2s and are sieging high groundand these guardian players STILL will send a core AND support instead of getting baited into fighting me aloneLike there has to be something genuinely wrong here, WHY is there such a ridiculous difference in skill between my team and the opponent's
>enemy has winter wyvern>my team doesn't have winter wyvern>loseThis patch is so fucking boring just nerf this fucking nigger hero already
have the networth of my mid and offlaner combined but i'm the only constant

What happened to Tinker and Meepo smurfs? They used to shit all over a decent 20% of games. They're a rarity nowadays, smurfs usually go for Ember Spirit or QoP now.

>>580561096the little one being so much more powerful doesn't make sense
Back in the day I had this shadow shaman build where I went mid, rushed aghs, and just systematically pushed towers. Eventually I'd farm refresher easily before 30 mins (less gold back then) and the enemy couldnt stop two sets of serpant wards on a rax. I had like a 70% win rate it was busted, copied it from some random dude in my pubs.
do you want a fuckin medal for picking shadow shaman and winning
he's a shitter he doesn't win very often. just let him have this moment.
played two games of dota, ladswon em both
yes i want a medal for picking shaman and winning. they'd flame me and say "BRO, SHAMAN MID??? IM GONNA REPORT YOU" and id say :"sit back n watch this" and we wood win the game nearly every time and id get commended. this was classic dota when mid mattered bro
i did the walking mines ancient snipe three times
>>580562076what did you do, hide them in the trees in their base then walk them in?
>>580562076impressive desu

>>580564889more anime slop coming boys
>>580564889>>580565051Thats just literally the direstones from the dota 2 series.
8.00 leaked>map changed back to the smaller one>old techies put back in the game>mid role matters now>heroes are easier to kill>towers matter more>rax matters more>necronomicon added back>level 1 jungle now viable for heroes like lycan, bloodseeker, furion, legion commander, axethere, fixed it. its called dota REBACK because we need to go back to when the game was actually fun
>>580565893>still have innatesreddit
I like the bigger map...
>>580511269Go into Settings. Game -> MiscellaneousSelect Strict Solo Queue Matchmaking. And never deal with booster paying faggots again. I have nearly reached Ancient (again), and most "smurfs" are just alt-accounts, and most of them are retards.
Shitposters didn't even play Techies or buy Necrobook
>>580564889lame
>>580566263I love Hoodwink so much she's so cute
The dota map should start small and grow over time in game
necro used to be so good u could get it on sniper
u could also build a super fun late game sidewinder missile strike sniper build where the aghs would give your attack damage in an AOE and it scaled with rapiers and stuff. THe cast time was instant, it gave a 280% crit and headshot proc. u could 1 shot supports I wonder why valve removed it... oh yeah, its because reddit cried, and reddit is all beta cucks who played position 5 back in the day because they are pussies and wanted to get free mmr by placing wards and upgrading the courier!
>>580567802They removed it because literally no one ever went for that build except griefing shitters
>>580568018wrong, it was viable. would valve put something in the game if it was just for griefing? nope.
>>580568219Clockwerk can eat chainmailsTime zone
>>580568332ok i agree time zone was bad, but what about the clock eating mails? i havent played with it at all yet bc its been a year
What if there was a hero that could travel under ground and pop up behind the enemy? or place a network of tunnels that could be used?
>>580568903What if there was a separate subterranean map layer that you can enter at certain locations?
What if there was a hero who could change the weather of the map? HE could start making it a thunderstorn or snow.
what if there were special creep camps that when you killed them they spawned the neutral creeps on your team and they pushed the lane
>>580568612NTA but it's basically not an optimal use for your gold at like any point in the game. Using 4000 gold to buy two items or one big item has a much bigger impact in the game than getting 32 armor. The only scenario in which you can even consider buying chainmails to eat them is in a turbo game after you get giga 9 slotted + moon shard + aghs shard and blessing. It's just a meme infinite scaling passive that will never be relevant in a real scenario. Clock is basically playing the game without an innate ability and only griefing retards or total newbies will try to make something out of it
What if there was a hero that could set up a creep farm/zoo? Like he could make the farm in your base, he could raise the animals with food and water and stuff. Once they got big and grew up, your carry could come back to base and farm them and u could share the gold. >>580569154great idea desu, i think heroes of the storm had a map like that
>>580569367>heroes of >the stormMight and Magic, zoomie
HoN babies there's a reason why your game was dead on arrival and never took offyou are embarrassing yourselves here
>>580568219riki aghs is still in after a decade and it's still retarded and grief
>>580569329Makes sense, I guess it would be only worthwhile once he gets all his items, but then whats the point because armor has diminishing returns.
What if there was an Aghs Beyond or an Aghs Plus? Like it would make the existing aghs even better or give new skills like make pudge hook global or allow rubick to steal 3 spells or make enigma cast black holes all around him. you get the idea, what do you think??
There should be different levels of reporting for griefing. When I report someone for destroying items and running down mid, and when I report someone for running into the enemy team like an idiot, these shouldn't have the same report system.
>>580571896I assure you the game keeps track if you're giga-griefing like feeding rapiers and destroying your items. You'll never see a normal queue again if you do that.
dota should have weather and map variations that affect gameplayalso both sides should start on the bottom left and fight towards the top right, the camera is always fixed for you to go up regardless of which side you are on.this would truly make it sequel worthy.
>we win: thanks to my contributions>we lose: because my team is shitIt's simple math dotards. Idk why it's such a difficult concept to wrap your head around.
>>580572391I was shocked when I came back to Dota that they hadn't already implemented the camera thing. Also that they are STILL fucking with the Roshan pit placement and having him walk around like a retard instead of just making the pits portals to a different layer of the map.
>>580572519at the very least he should just burrow into one pit to another, the walking is so retarded
what if when one hero gained xp it gave that xp to everyone on their team so the team collectively levelled up together?
>>580572939How about a good Roshan and a bad Roshan, like yin and yang. They could have different abilities and just despawn/respawn.
>>580572519 I mean its funny when he catches someone and throws him towards your team for a free kill, or straight up kills someone because of low health.
>>580573070I had a game the other day in which i got yoinked by a passing roshan during a team fight and it threw me over the terrain essentially saving me from a bristleback kek. Out of all the changes we have seen for roshan over the years the ability to throw people around is my favorite
>>580573061We could get rid of items too and maybe bring Jaina Proudmoore in as the next hero.
what if they made a queue where you try to be as toxic as possible and if you get commended you lose behavior score but if you get reported you gain it and they should make a double down but for behavior score you can pop it before the start if your next batch of 15 games
>>580572443then why do I have more mmr than you?
>>580573070that nigga threw an earthshaker at us once
just had 3 beers and my head is spinning holy shit lmfao im wasted. just lost a game as witch doctor and missing maledict lol
rosh should drop a free linkens

>Pos 1 luna without bKB>dies every single time because gets perma CC'd >somehow this is my fault as the pos 4 support.
>get bitch slapped out of mid>basically become a third supportI hate these games. We're winning, but it doesn't look good for my stats.
>>580558038How I feel when some retarded faggot, an ally, critiques how I play my character and I end up saving his ass or managing to force the W.
ugliest set ever made
DEAD THREAD??? but Y?
>>580577207You don't have to win mid. Just go gank a side-lane. Unless you feed, like a chump.
>>580580573i ganked at like lvl 4. I was playing invoker. I was always 5 levels behind the enemy mid for like the rest of the game, but we still won
>spirit breaker, dawnbreaker, zeus
>>580580723Oh, no, you're fucked, then, buddy. Thank your team for carrying you. And the enemy team for sucking so bad.Having your mid five levels behind enemy mid usually spells disaster.
>>580580723how do you lose mid that hard as intoker
>>580580908Kez out CS'd me.
>>580580186i made a bunch of posts but no 1 replied so im never gonna make a post here ever again
>>580580798My APM is really good. I do all the cool combos. I just can't win mid. Ever.
>>580581050Then don't play mid. Or, if you have to, play Viper, OD or Sky. Or resign yourself to ganking and play Lina, Tinker or Necros. Better stay away from melee mids.
>>580577907Not even close, retard
>>580580186what do you want to talk about brother
>>580581584valve should add mini roshan that's in the opposite pit as rosh and just gives gold and xp
>>580581687im down for that if they replace that with the xp runes have so much valve can do dota isnt a finished game
Undying Arcana/Persona? Sign me the fuck up. I love overpowered heroes getting new stuff.
i wish i looked like windranger irli would just make thousands every day taking pics of my ankles and knees

>>580582721lol you might be right
yet ANOTHER fucking game where i have multiple teammates afk in the jungle during a perfectly winnable game as the base dies. i dont deserve this shit
>>580581584Denies should give XP again
>>580582270You need white Monster, start with 3-4 cans per day and work your way up.
>>580583081you trying to put the final nail in the coffin for the offlane role >>580583174the miracle strat
>>580582270stop gooning
idk how anyone could stop gooning.we're living in the golden age of smut
>>580577907That's easily the best Silencer set, though only because his other sets are absolutely hideous. The immortals are garbage too.
>>580583786Not in my experience. I tried getting back into it after a decade of being out of it and I can't find anything good on the major sites. The algorithm just fucks all my searches up. I'm in the process of reactivating my Empornium account but this is hardly the golden age, that was like 15 years ago.
I got pushed out of mid so early that dotabuff marked me as "roaming"lmao
>>580584505how did you recover
>>580584780just ganked and made space for lifestealer. he carried hard.
It's always like 2 AM when sheever streams and I'm too sleepy to watch for very long. She's not very good at dota either.
>>580584505>it's augar againffs, augarNo wonder you're getting clowned as Invoker. Avoid picking OD mid. He's still a farming carry, and you suck at farming.
>>580584970I wanna get good at invoker.
>>580584996What does that mean? Invoker can do anything. Do you want to 1v9 Invoker with Refresher Cataclysm, even though you have no Tide on your team? Is that why you're going Urn into Atos? To gank with meatball Sunstrike? Or do you want to be an actually good teammate Invoker and fucking build Agh's-Shard for EMP Tornado initiation combo?
The best build to EVER come out of the gluag. Look at this
>>580585202I just wanna win mid mostly. So I can actually get the items in a decent time. I forgot about aghs and shard that game, but to be fair it didn't go very long.
>>580585234holy moly
AUGAR tries to build silver edgehttps://youtu.be/DUfED1gPVCg?t=2739
>>580585939decade old vid unc, no 1 cares
>>580585292"Winning mid" as Invoker involves outfarming the enemy. Not ganking. You're throwing out Sunstrikes, and Cold Snap the enemy if he tries to go on you.You are getting clowned on. Go into Learn tab, go to Tier 3 tutorials, and pick Last Hitting scenario. Show me your results with Invoker.
>>580585939he's a wigger?? damn shame

>>580586839Continue training. And I don't recommend practicing in Ranked. But you can do it, anyway. I can't stop you. It's your MMR.>but it's not fair, you're not allowed to even use your Exort to boost your damageYeah, and you keep your brown boots, instead of going Phase. Keep practicing, if you want to "win mid".

Valve needs to make more items disassemble. It's peak and makes my brain tingle from efficiency
i lost 12 out of my last 15 games and just before this streak i won 16 out of 20 gamescan it be anymore obvious?
My friend never invites me to duo but we're the same mmr, gonna snipe him and grief
Gonna pick up Enigma 3 today, it feels like i just need it in my rotation.Im currently stuck in eternal low prio farming conduct so im not worried about griefing by being terrible. It feels like this plays differently from my other pos3 cores who are all melee, coachanon feel free to correct me but off the top of my head i dont think i can sleep on nigga hole and have to use it every time theres a good opportunity. I dont think im going to farm well on this hero so this is going to be my number juan priority, i already bound eidolons separately, time will tell if im able to stack with them like i used to do with naga issues back when riptide was something you had to click. I can also block camps with them, less sure about stealing over long distances, fuck it time will tellGonna stomp my chillaam and queue right up
>>580566263I disliked techies and am in agreement with those who hated it, but necrobook... man that was fun. The fun I had ratting around with Lycan and Furion really scratched an itch, Dota is not the same now.
is this the ultimate sniper build?
>>580595226the nw of the team
>>580593353Obvious that...you're climbing? Congrats.
>>580593395q’ing as a duo opens you up to get matches against 3 or 4 stacks which is much harder to deal with if they have good comms unlike a duo that is probably just vibe playing and talking about memes while they play

>>580601460They're not doing it because they're anal. They're doing it as a power flex. Like the no skeletons thing. They don't give a shit but forcing game companies to hide them is a good flex.
>>580601435yeah this team isnt winning anything>>580601460they do it because theyve seen jews do it about israel. the moving in silence bit is over now, they amassed enough economical power to make them convinced they can actually strangle others into respect like jews do
Bros, I'm 37 years old and used to play Dota back in WC3 days, and Aeon back in SC:BW days... I played Dota 2 a bit in 2013, and I've watched maybe five TIs. I consider myself an expert at Project Zomboid, Stardew Valley, Terraria, and a few other games. I do well in high-tense games such as Escape from Tarkov. I'm thinking about going pro in the Dota 2 competitive e-sport scene, but I'm a bit hesitant- is the prize pool for TI too low these days to make it worth it to quit one's career and go competitive?
>>580601673either stale pasta or genuine autism
>>580601527i assume that's how they view it themselves, but it comes off as insecurity to me. not to mention the whole idea of entertaining a fictional universe where they totally control taiwan is just outright schizo shit. i think most western leaders and investors agree, hence why china is kept at an arm's length instead of courted as an ally or a place to invest in. their protectionism and dictatorship is part of the reason why they're doing so well but at a certain point it spills over to pointless jingoism and belligerence that ends up isolating them>>580601634>they amassed enough economical power to make them convinced they can actually strangle others into respect like jews doi think they're actually kinda trying to tone it down and fly under the radar. russia and the US chimping out at the same time has given them an opportunity to swoop in and grab new allies and lucrative trade deals and such. they do play hardball with the US though, and for good reason. i'm not the most up to date with china news though.
>>580601634I can see that team being a fairly consistently 5-8th place finisher. Look at the players' recent TI placements (except Wits who is a novice)>Sumail - 5th/6th, 5th/6th>Dalai Lama - 5th/6th, 5th/6th>Thiolicor - did not attend, then lost in Elim round but arguably the best team not to make the main stage (ie, 9th most likely, but 12th at absolute worst)>Sneyking - 1st, 7th/8th
if you buy bottle on mid sky youre gay
>if you [do thing i don't like] youre gaymeds
if you dont jerk it to mirana then youre gay
>>580601763Worse, it's just AI slop spam.
What if you buy bottle for the safe lane like my pos1 Lina did?
remember when courier was shared you could just grief your mid by taking the bottle and never giving it back
>>580600270Lol, somehow even Blizzard is more critical of the Chinese regime.
*cracks open a cold one*Remember when Blink Dagger had a mana cost?Yea that was something else.
>>580604797Definitely a bad idea, you are not getting much from it considering the first bounty appears at 4 minutes and even then you have to leave the lane to get it. Just spam Clarities like a normal person and buy a Falcon Blade.
>>580605150valve patching out all the ways you could hard grief your team inadvertently let all sorts of low functioning griefazoids into the high ranks, where they can soft grief you all game and still win

Here's my guide to your hero: max everything by level 16.
>>5806106621, 2, and 4 are the best CN has to offer. Zeal is mediocre at best, his best performances were on Yakult Brothers when they were the 3rd best CN team, he is tier 2 really. Boboka used to be good back in the IG and Aster days but hasn't done anything halfway decent in 4 years. How did they not end up getting Bach or XXS for pos 3? There's usually only 2 or 3 CN teams and Davai is offline for one of them this year, is Bach finally retiring?
>>580611176Bach has been halfway in and out of retirement for quite a while now and also he only seems to join teams when y' is there as well. And Xxs won't play with boboka anymore. What's more surprising is that Ame accepted XinQ into his team again, he was the one who pretty much kicked him out of XG after last TI
>>580611176He's pos5 now instead of pos4. All he needs to do is learn how to ward. I've noticed CN teams not keeping up with WEU/EEU teams when it comes to vision which is a huge part on why they look weaker now.
i spent all week telling myself i was gonna hop into some ranked games but i kep procrastinating and now before i knew it it's friday. Now i definitely can't play even if i wanted to cause i'm not risking playing weekend dota
just won 3 1 hour games in a row and i feel dead as if i just suffered a stroke
