People cant hate when they dont speak english. Only time i really get pissed off on teammates is if they repeat a stupid mistake over and over.
Btw Tiny + Axe combo 7 wins in a row so far, undefeated! toss in axe, he pops blade mail and berserkers call, then i avalanche and its pretty much over x)
My Rubick will toss you back :P
who are you playing with?

I have played HoN since the beta and im still playing, cant seem to make the transition to LoL or Dota 2. Those game just dont have the troll potential and are too kid-friendly for my tasteWhat's your HoN ingame nick?
Well, dunno about that really. Got a lot of hours in Dota2 and people seem alright, HoN and LoL is a nuthouse from what I heard :)
Dota 2 is harder and more punishing as well, might put the kids off the game :wink:
Oookay.I can only say that you'll be a very good dota player in no time. Score is great, item build is truly great, hero choice for a beginner is also great.
I played my first match of Dota, ever.
Listened to your advice, I tried Lich first in a bot match, was very enjoyable to play, so I thought I'll try it in action.
Game starts, but I did a nice fail and left single draft in. Therefore I had a limited option, I picked Lion.
Started quickreading/sucking up as much information as possible, also got a bit of an advice from my team.
Turned out to be very straightforward and fun to use.
(I still died too much because of overextending, experimenting, skills not working the way I thought, lack of knowledge. Trial 'n Error baby.)
Here are the results;
(Dat Weaver, he pretty much carried the game)(click to show/hide)
I had NO idea what the F I'm doing almost during the whole game. Was good though.
inb4 I'm a noob. I know. If not for that Weaver holding hands carrying me through, we would've had a tougher match.
Second match with Lion, 6 kills, 4 deaths (me being stupid again), 5 assists.
Victory.
I like how he plays really.
Does anyone still have any spare keys left? I signed up for the beta a little while ago but I borked one of the surveys because it seemed to assume I had played the first one. Although I did watch my buddy play the W3 custom games way back in the day.
I just don't want to be 'forced' to buy five dollars of steam cash for a two penny code.
Gah, 3 of my teammates abandoned us, so we lost.
Again 3 bundle of stickss disconnect. I am sick of this.
I've got 16, join the steam group and I will give you one :mrgreen:
Hahaha.(click to show/hide)
Cheers, I'll keep that in mind.
Problem is that it was so intensive for an attack that I had no time to even buy stuff.
Little micromanagement with couriers has to be learned somehow! :D
Pudge is like the 2hander of dota
Drow ranger? Pff... If a hero is outclassed by other melee carries, I would hardly call it pub-stomper. Drow is useful with a team, pudge pwns noobs like no-tomorrow.
Ever seen a solo mid Drow getting fed like a fat roman due to teammates not caring? Drow can manage to take out atleast 3 other players if they play her right and (getting lucky with feed :| )
So true lol.
Last game I played, Drow in our team, mid-bottom. We switched lanes pretty often.
Single-handedly did triple-monster kills without support by the end of the game.
Was fed obviously.
Yeah, a fed Pudge is WAY more scary if he can land hooks, I'll give it that.
cmp I'm beginning to think you didn't play this game much. At least not in pubs.
Keeper of the light is my favourite hero :D
It has so many weapons in his arsenal to turn the tides of a battle/campaign.
Real men first pick Meepo.
A bit old video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKXCf2dAEEU
Some hero appearances and skills might be a bit different.
Watch the other parts if you liked it :P
Oh god my sides.
One of my Steam Friends told me to watch this while I was on a losing streak, to conform me I'm not this bad, and my start wasn't bad at all either compared to these guys.
He's easy to play if the enemy is bad, else he's just food. He's considered one of the worst heroes in the game for a reason.
Yo I dont play this game but I have dota 2 beta keys for cRPGers if they PM me.
Go team crpg!
Or more people should just buy dust ^^ gah i never get supports who do it though, no wards no dust no nothing, so i kinda play support all the time to make sure someone does it right atleast ololo
Most people who go support often cares more about their own gear and feed than actually buying wards and stuff. So it ends up with the carry sometimes buys wards cuz the support wont do it :/
They should nerf Riki
Riki is a walking ward if nothing else :P
Until the enemy team gets a Gem, then he's a walking bag of gold.
That was like a year ago, now he's pretty much never used (http://dota-academy.com/herolist/from/20120926/regions/ALL/).

I just had my funniest Dota 2 moment ever.
Just, watch it!
Dear god I was laughing so hard at them :lol:

So basically Moba are games in which skill is having encyclopedic knowledge of a spurious number of heroes and builds ? Not that I think any definition of skill is objectively right of course.
So, being totally bored, decided to give this a try.This would be my 2nd game.(click to show/hide)
You should try Bloodseeker with the force staff. Cast rupture on a person then if they decide to stop moving push them with the force staff. It's hilarious as it's pretty much an easy kill on a lot of heroes.
Also wtf with their Pudge lol. 3 kills 11 deaths. That guy must be the worst Pudge ever. Unless he disconnected early as he has no items either?
Well, every next game past that one has been plagued by people quitting at start/being AFK. DotA, also known as "Guess the leaver!"
PTX's second game.
Four denies whole game nice
No, that's just a small part of it. You can know every hero, skill, item and mechanic and still suck.
Oh please, no need to describe me... :mrgreen:
Thovex, I always wanted to know how you looked like.

Every game I go to there is a minimum 3 Russians. Spamming their big font all over the place.
Been decreasing as i keep playing, fortunately. As you get into higher brackets they get left behind hehehe.

Every time I do matchmaking with my friend (level 3) I always end up with a noob team. Last game I had Drow was level 16 and didn't have silence.
It's always like this:
Drow on my side goes 0/10+
Drow when on other side goes 15/1 or similar. :mrgreen:
I was always playing as jungler in HoN, LoL etc etc... How is jungle in Dota 2? Are there any specific heroes for jungle? If there is i might try...
Looks like heroes are almost the same as HoN. So Axe is Legionnaire. It means i should play :lol:

Yes, yes. There are plenty of Junglers in the game.
There's probably one that fits your style of play.
Ones that I played are Axe (horribly played though), Lifestealer, and Lycanthrope. I like that guy, but I don't really enjoy jungling.
Unrelated, but thank you Bjord for breaking my losing streak (it was abandoned by some cunt but it's still something), and you enjoyed the derpfest that I am facing all the time for a bit. :P Good playing with you, but you really had a 2h hero mentality in there.
I know you were tired or something, but still :wink:
I'd say we just had our best session of Dota 2, eh?
We just grouped up with random people, won a nice number of matches, I'm about to break even soon on W/L too.
Holy crap what matches we had. Axe derping around at t2 tower earlygame, buying 3 stout shields.
Getting totally owned earlygame (Bjord you bloodey feeder! :mrgreen:)
Then magically turned it around an won every teamfight with awesome coordination.
Too bad we lost the last match, maybe we should've stopped at that epic victory, everybody got tired and started making too many mistakes.
Me fucking up fissure walls, you killing me with your Chronosphere, stuff like that. :mrgreen:
Great rounds overall, it was like playing a different game.
Nerf PL pls, i mean seriously that hero is fucking silly. Diffusal blade on all the illusions = oom in 2sec. Its the only hero that needs to be countered as soon as he is picked.
Like the one where I went 33 - 1 with Viper. :D
Viper is horrendously OP.
Viper is considered to be a shit tier hero. He can stomp low level pubs, but that doesn't really mean anything (kinda like Bloodseker).
Low level pub or not, he has to dominate the lane or he'll be pretty much useless in mid/late game. If you don't have faith in your team just go mid yourself and pick a hero that can outlane him easily, like Laser/Rocket Tinker or Silencer.
It's attack range is avarage. (450 range as defined in warcraft, many range heroes have 600 or something close)
Seems higher. I often struggle to out range him with sniper.
I love playing support, omniknight, earthshaker, you get the idea. I hate playing support with pubs, if I hear some 7-14 viper complaining about my 0-6-15+ again I don't know what I'll do.
Its just frustrating.
Kicking off with a 400th win with one fed Sven.

Loved the 3000 crit that cleaved half their team dead in the end.
Why exlude my glorious mid Rubick from this picture? I am dissapoint
Viper has 575 range, Sniper has 550 (extendable to 850 using the skill).
I think so. There's Fasader but he's an inferior kind of dev.
Awesome here's mine:

No that's because I haven't played a game in 3 months :P Indian ping :(
Dota withdrawal alas.
Will have a lot of catching up to do in another 3 months.
Fucking awesome, up against a try hard team, Magnus Nyx and Batrider. Tri lane against me on hard lane, they fuck us up completely. I check their profiles and they have ~80 wins so must be smurf accounts aswell. This is fucking pathetic.
Gotta love magnus ult, not op at all.
Trilanes are quite common

Looks like a wannabe semicarry/carry build to me. I'd argue that Vlads and AC are not a very good investment on him, but Radiance and Battlefury? Why on earth would you get farming items that should be rushed?
I allowed sharing of match details, will this Dotabuff thing show my older matches? It shows nothing.
Also I'm kinda shy about sharing it, I suck :mrgreen:
And how would one trigger the update?
Playing a match is my idea, but I'm kinda uneasy playing without my premade 3 man at least.
Really? It was very fast for me. :?
Gonna try again, let's hope solo queue won't be much of a disaster

For anyone interested this is my current Clockwerk build :PI might be noob, but why would you only get cogs at lvl5? Isn't that like the ultimate skill for lvl1-5 early ganks?
http://www.dota2.com/workshop/builds/edit?fileid=560971494661761291&published=1
The drum should be switched mid game though, if you decide to get it earlier, its just to keep my speed a bit higher for a short period, or I just stick to it depending on the game.
Riki, Sniper, Drow, Phantom lancer.
I might be noob, but why would you only get cogs at lvl5? Isn't that like the ultimate skill for lvl1-5 early ganks?
Can we get a score screen ? :D
Well perhaps, but I find it better to spec on rockets and flare early in, cogs take up more mana and is not as effective when last hitting with rockets and using flares to take down creeps quickly, also good for helping teammates and do ministun on their chaser etc.
If your mid is struggling using flare to push the creeps and damage the enemy mid is an awesome way of getting the advantage there and often you can spam it enough to get the enemy mid low enough for an easy gank from two people.
You have no idea how many flare kills I have picked off on other lanes and retreating enemies just about to reach fountain :P

Dear god the constant imprisonment leading to no mana and frustration.
My most recent match with OD I had like 57 denies + imprisonment creepkills, howmuch levels would that be? That's atleast a total of 1500 XP gone tho! :P
Quite hilarious, but I don't know really about the hero, he is half good and half bad, sometimes he just wrecks everyones faces and sometimes he's just useless.
Had a OD against me today when I played super fed Natures Prophet who ulti'd me twice with refresher and who did absolutely no damage (ofcourse, natures prophet is an intelligence hero but he honestly didn't seem to do any damage at all to anyone a bit late game.) and then I proceeded to just 1 hit him because visitors can't see pics , please register or login

This match? That OD has the worst possible items, I'd be surprised if his ult did damage to anyone
Yeah that was quite the most retarded build you can have, gotta stack 'em intelligence first.
That means getting Scythe of Vyse and something like Shiva's Guard, aye?
Might give this hero a go, that's why I'm asking.

Why do people steal courier from a carry :(Cause everyone thinks he is a carry :wink: At least you were lucky enough to have a courier in your team xD
horrible players in the matchmaking no matter where you play, though it's true that it tends to be much worse below very high
Players from east block countries tend to be horrible players.
Explains why I was matched with you once.
Woah.
Woah this is like, Russian Circle Jerk 101.
Listen up, if you're not in the Trench and you're still complaining about Russians; how they're making you lose, you're shit.
If you really think you're better than these "Scrubs" then why the fuck are you playing with them?
Open your eyes, you're playing with them because you're in the same W/L ratio as them. If you can't carry Russians then stay in the Trench, it's way better that way.

2 games! 2 games today, both with russians and they.. SPOKE ENGLISH! Not perfect english ofcourse pretty broken english but who the hell cares, as long as they get simple messages across great. Why arent more russians like this. Also these didnt type almost anything in klingon, and didnt shout NOOB as soon as someone did something wrong.
Just got a quick idea, a lot of cRPGers are playing Dota 2, for example the Nordmen have their own 5-man.
Why not start a flexible Dota 2 team with constantly changing members, so that people who are playing always have English-speaking and 'competent' teammates? I think a lot of people have at least 10-15 keys on average, enough to support several teams. It would be a fun way to promote more cohesion for the community on a much less isolated scale.
Any input?
Fact is Russians have an appalling reputation in all gaming communities. It's not random hating because we all suck, there are very good reasons for it.
Good news for me is I'm back in the UK on Monday after over 3 months in India and shall be promptly playing Dota 2 again.

Oh and the crazy russian feeders from Druzhina. :Pvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
Not kidding, won 4 games yesterday, the only one I lost I had 3 russian's on my team who kept rushing the enemy on their own and feeding :|
Had a good mixture of nationalities on the other games.
Been playing Kunkka recently. Found he's insanely good for keeping up near constant pressure on the enemy. Yesterday I had a game where we were way down on kills by almost half for the entire game. But I pushed the lanes constantly, destroyed a bunch of towers and they simply had no answer to the pushing power. Then all we needed was one decent team fight and end game.
I love playing against Kunkka, he spams Tidebringer and pushes the lane under my tower, giving me easy CS.
How do you deal with Tidebringer hitting you? Magic stick/wand?
Been playing QoP and Jugger recently, fun heroes to play. Early game Jugger can deal lots of damage. A soul ring for him could be viable if you get good farm early on and you can constantly push since you got mana and can "spam" the healing ward.
How do you deal with Tidebringer hitting you? Magic stick/wand?
How do you deal with Tidebringer hitting you? Magic stick/wand?
Don't get hit. :D
If he tries hard to hit you he'll be missing out on CS, if he doesn't he'll push the lane. You'll still get hit a few times, but you should manage that easily with consumables and/or regen items.
Stick/Wand is useless, Tidebringer doesn't add charges to it.
So, basically, everyone is playing this
Not only that - seems like everyone is good in it. Or at least so they claim.
Everyone is pro in their own skill pool. :)I'm not.
I've played 6 games so far and this is the first MoBA I've ever played. I'm usually one of the worst players in our team.
However, I'm striving to become better at this.
start off playing tidehunter (eazy tanky hero), and get the hang of the game before u start switching to other heroes :) , also watch tutorial vids on youtube and maybe even progames/ pro streams
Tip; Don't pick support if your new.
Midas Alchemy, profit.

Gotta say Alchemist is one actual good fucking hard carry, but he can also be nice as support, just not that common, one of my mates went Alchemist support once and ended up carrying the game with 16 kills because of the immense amount of gold he had lol.

Hell no. One guy I know bought a key once. And I know a couple that bought the compendium. But in my eyes it's a waste of money.
Also, the ~ 8 euros enables you to watch the international games and you get a battlebonus that lasts until august, and you get a courier, a new Hud, and depending on the pool, we can also get immortal items.

Be able to vote on the new Hero imported into Dota 2, vote on an 8 player solo championship at the international.
Can watch them anyway as already said. And in my opinion all that is shiny stuff that is a waste of money anyway. And the hero voted on will make it in regardless so that's hardly a big deal. Battle bonus is pretty fing pointless in my opinion as well.
The only reason I would spend money on Dota is because it's free and I've spent 300 hours on it so I should give a little back. But other wise I wouldn't just throw cash at them.
I feel greedy paying 8 euro for the joys I've had in those 8 months so far.
Everything is free to play and no bullshit ads everywhere and so on.
So you must win games to get out of that right?
How? It's impossible to even balance W/L out, let alone mass victories because of the people you get.
This is just bullshit I'd say, an endless loop.
I don't read all the thread was a team made? Because I'm "new" on DOTA 2 , and I 've already played as healer ^^ So , I would be happy to have a team :)

As far as Matchmaking is concerned none of those buckets exist - We match on a continuous scale.
The labels that we use to sort replays are independent of matchmaking and were intended for players who want to find a high level game with a hero they want to learn.
we should have a crpg clan tournament, but then dota. for ya know like some loom points or something 8-)(click to show/hide)
Should play her as jungle though, sometimes i even go midas with her. Not too hard to jungle, just grab one creep with W then kill other creeps, and occasionally gank lane.
Anyone got any good tips on how to play Chen?
Get em fancy lightning bat in the small camp if you can, proceed to nuke the shit out of enemy mid.
Zoned out enemy mid with 1 creep constantly harassing him. Also, grab em stun centaur and then level 1 smoke gank anywhere, gg first blood any day.
Try push towers as fast as possible I guess since Chen gets weak, fast and lategame he just doesn't scale for shit. Just like Treant unless you build treant carry. :P
He's just simply amazing get a fast Mekansm with his ult heal, few pushing creeps and you should really be able to push really hard and really fast, giving your team excellent map control and gold advantage.
Don't listen to this man, the proper way to play Chen is to get fat. His core items are HotD (moar creeps), Armlet (because pink glowing hands) and big damage items.
Source: best Chen player (http://dotabuff.com/matches/69101364)
I think puppey was trolling, but in a normal game if you have a carry player with HotD you get him to share unit control and that way give your (must be asian to micro) Chen player one more creep to micro. :)
I like getting HotD and Necronomicon but my micro is just not good enough really.
HotD, Necro and Manta. On Meepo.
If you are doing THAT well individually, I think it's almost as good as solid teamwork.
It does the job, doesn't it?
Sniper, Sven and Night Stalker are OP heroes?
HotD, Necro and Manta. On Meepo.
OP!!, had a game where i was darkseer solo off, we had enigma jungle, skywrath and gyro topfarm (dire) and warlock mid, now guys that was some wubwubwubwombo combo haahaa, that sir is op, not this farm dependent eazy to shut down sven ns sniper.
Nightstalker dominates early game during night time. Loses effectiveness at the 30min mark though. Sven with BKB, his ulti, a stun and cleave slices through teams. Put him in the middle of a fight and watch as the entire enemy teams health just collapses. Then all you need to do is mop up. Coupled with late game farm and he'll get kills easily with high damage. Sniper gets high damage and very high attack speed towards late game. Early game he's useful for ganking because with a his mini-stuns he's very difficult to run from. So if you have someone who can let off a 2-3 second stun an enemy is fucked. Running from him is near impossible with his ulti and with shadow blade he's difficult to catch without a lengthy stun or hex.
Both Night Stalker and Sven are very good heroes, but they're nowhere near OP. As you mentioned Night Stalker's strength tends to fall off during late game, and Sven is just a walking stun until he gets fat.
But Sniper? Sniper is considered one of the worst carries, because he is very squishy and has no escape mechanism. Shadow Blade is mainly an offensive item, not an escape one (unless you play against people who don't buy dust/sentrie when they see one).
"OP" heroes are heroes like Batrider, Magnus and Nyx Assassin.
Magnus is frequently little more than a great initiator
The thing is though, if Sven does get fat he completely dominates and he isn't all that hard to get to that stage unless you're playing against a team who shut you down aggressively early game.
Fact is a lot of people don't buy dust or sentry wards
Most of the time a great initiation is all you need to win a teamfight, and Magnus has one of the best (if not the best one). I've often seen teams with XP/gold advantage lose because they lacked initiation (or because the opponents had better one).
A fat Sven is scary, but there's worse (think fat Gyrocopter or Phantom Lancer).
Just teammates.
I've found Sniper very effective at harrasing enemies in the laning phase and finishing off people that run from ganks early on, but other than that, nothing special really
The thing is, if anyone throws a reliable stun at Sniper he's pretty much dead.
Lol Sniper. 400 damage a shot every 0.45s. We went for a TF and Invoker disconnected so we lost. A long wait to respawn as I was 25 and they were raping our base. Disruptor respawns with beastmaster, holds them off and then I spawn back and instantly kill 3 of them whilst Naga and Invoker got the other two. Then it was a matter of easy rape.
Sniper is awesome.
That is true. But that's why you have to be careful with sniper. As long as you play sensibly you can avoid it or shadow blade just before the stun gets there so it doesn't matter.
Edit:
Just won a game with Jakiro and got 5 kills. 57/15 overall and didn't die once :)
Hmm I wouldn't say Gyro is scary.
Wish I could still get games where people never bought dust/wards/gem. :(

If gyropcopter catches you without anyone else around and uses rocket barrage on you, and he even has a tiny level/gear advantage..
You can kiss your ass goodbye, it's super scary.

His damage is not that low, but it takes a while to get used to the projectile speed.
Wait 10 seconds after the spawn time is over, if no one have picked support, you have to be the support, sadly (if you don't like playing support, something I do :P )
Well yeah but I meant without his spells, 'low damage for last hitting' :)
Lost my past 4 games. Why? Because people are idiots. If you can already see 2-3 carries on a team why would you pick another carry? I've had 4 games in a row with either no supports or only 1 support so my team gets hacked to pieces by the 20 min mark. 2 of them I played support the other 2 I was the first to pick sniper and had plenty of kills but the rest of the team just died endlessly.
Wait 10 seconds after the spawn time is over, if no one have picked support, you have to be the support, sadly (if you don't like playing support, something I do :P )just get a wraith band and get your support to pull you some tangos or sumthing if youre having troubles with your starting damage
Well yeah but I meant without his spells, 'low damage for last hitting' :)
So you are saying that noone should ever get a drum, aquila, or dagon. :mrgreen:
Double wraithband is pretty good if your farm is poop early game, situational though....... No. That's the common attitude, and it's crap. If your farm is bad, you're shooting yourself in the leg by investing in wraithbands/bracers/nulls.

.Bought it last game and it served me well, we were losing badly so i thought i might aswell just use my 2 slippers as im not getting the farm for a big core.
If you play a carry always get Vanguard. It's the ultimate carry item.(click to show/hide)
No, its more of a last resort. Its better spent there and possibility of surviving compared to saving the gold which can quickly be lost through a death. +6 agi is great for damage if you are agi hero, and +3 str gives a little bulk to go, double that and you get some decent stats for the small costs. Totally worth it. Bought it last game and it served me well, we were losing badly so i thought i might aswell just use my 2 slippers as im not getting the farm for a big core. Worked out and we won, me carrying with 22 kills. Not saying it was all depending on my 2 wraiths, but they helped a bunch.
2 slippers, get poor mans shield asap if you have that. Best early game item ever 8-)
Needed one slipper for aquila, and afaik poor mans shield is the same as stout shield, doesnt gain anything from the slippers only combines them into one item to take less space so i tend to not get it, and instead get wraiths.
Poor man's decreases enemy attacks by 20 damage (given you're melee, 10 if ranged), 100% chance, normal stout shield only has a 60% chance of blocking for you.
So enemy supports harassing you don't do that much compared to what they'd do if they get normal hits in early game. Underrated item.
dis game(click to show/hide)
...... No. That's the common attitude, and it's crap. If your farm is bad, you're shooting yourself in the leg by investing in wraithbands/bracers/nulls.Double anything should not be gotten if your farm is shit as Xant said.
If that's the case I would like to view Xant's Dotabuff pageYou're implying that Dotabuff pages matter.

How many of you would be willing to use 10-15k gold as price money for a little friendly tournament? :P
What do the more experienced guys think, is any hero OP compared to others?
currently bat op. but troll not in captains so ye
I wouldn't say that Bat Rider is OP, he is only good for targeting 1 enemy at a time. He can do some pretty decent AOE damage in teamfights, but thats only where he shines. He can easily be killed 1v1 by most heroes, get a disable and he is pretty much dead. If he gets the correct items he can be dangerous in the aspect that he can drag one of your teammates out of the safe zone.

I haven't got much, but I'd like to trade for PL items if someone has them :)
Although you want to stay out of the trading community in dota, it's full of my old friendgets who are like 1:3 rare item trades and such.
I only go to dota2lounge if I really want a specific item, really bad, otherwise pls no.
Heh, after 10 minutes of signing in on Dota-trade a Russian was offering some lame Sylvian cape for Drow in change for my Rubick mantle
Hey Kuoin, I saw you have a nice rubick mantle. Wanna trade it for my sylvan drow cape?
First game i play today, 2 people wait untill creeps spawn before they pick heroes, so i pick a carry. When they do pick they also pick carries, gotta love a game of only carries, no wards etc.
so what about that 5 man captains mode crpg tournament?
Well first we need the teams :P
Edit: I suggest we do this;
Everyone who wants to participate give the enter fee. We could either do pre-made teams or just assign a random 5 man team using numbers so we get random players, but ofc. this will be before the actual competition so we get to practice using that team.
i thought it would be clan vs clan, i have no interest in throwing my hard earned crpg gold away to randomness
I have to agree that right now (pre 6.78) bat is the most "OP". He has a fairly high skill threshold, though.
Bat has always been OP, it was just when Dota 2 was released he had really bad animations (and his strength wasn't that good), he was usually picked in competitive DotA matches, but lost popularity in Dota 2 for the two reasons above, until they buffed both of them.

That moment when you almost fail a co-op bot match beacuse your lanemate feeds 13 deaths.
Note to self: Never EVER touch co-op bot match again.
Lots of people do it just to get familiar with a new hero, or one they want to try, before taking it against people.
why would you even play against bots
Yeah but that's similar with most heroes. Takes some time to get used to them. Will take a few games but soon enough with him you'll learn to predict exactly when and where you need to cast the ice path especially.
weaver is a good offlane carry, not a good main carry . to squishy imo
Why don't you guys use Weaver as a carry? I just find him downright incredible. Swarm to reveal area, shukuchi to escape, chase, ambush or reposition in group fight, geminate is like double damage every 2.5 sec and that ulti is a free life/get out card.
Dunno, last time I played it I survived quite long with Linken's + using Shukuchi pretty much every time they headed in my direction in a teamfight to reposition myself to safely damage them and just rinse repeat

Also MOBAs are rage inducing games because like in cRPG your success depends more on your team than on you.
Not even close. You have way more influence in cRPG, and your enemy won't be three times stronger than you due to no fault of yours just because a teammate feeds them kills.
You can still get a lot out of cRPG even if your team keeps losing rounds - it doesn't really even matter, as long as it's not complete rapefest (like on some plains map with lots of cav). In DotA most losses (90-95%) are just sucky and pointless to play as you're getting steamrolled no matter what you do or how well you play.

Which seriously makes me wonder why is there no vote surrender option in dota2 yet. Do they not want to include it on purpose?
Well if they made it so you can't surrender until your entire team agrees then it'd be pretty safe. But yeah quite often the last 20mins of a game can be either a complete stomp on the enemy or utter butt rape for you. Those far outnumber the times I've had an awesome come back, although that has happened.

It'll be decided in the first 15 minutes if you'll have a chance to actually fight, fight back, or face torture for about 40 minutes or more.
Okay cRPG is pretty bad in that regard, and MOBAs are worse then
Sounds like bad game design, or is it just the general noobishness of the public ?
Probably a bit of both.
More immersive tutorial is needed, the Dragon Knight one the game has is laughable.
And I'm nooby as well but I try not to die 8 times under the first 4 minutes.
How is cRPG any worse in that regard than any other game with a team? cRPG is actually one of the better games - or was - in that regard. A round was decided by a single player bazillion of times, and even crazy odds like 25v1 have been known to be beaten.
Well I might be unfair because cRPG precisely used to be so great about this (today not so much, some can still pull off 1v10 when lucky but that's really rare). Up until the upkeep patch hit I don't think most players lived losing like a punishment. Now you can play like a boss during a round till the end and still feel you are being unjustly punished because your team lost.

I played all random with a friend yesterday and he talked about how much he just doesn't like CM's playstyle, and I said something like
"inb4 wisp"
Guess what we got in the random.. a total disaster concerning we had no real carry and I never played Wisp before.
We got trolled. Hard.
Wisp too good! Although withoutcarryganking companion it's kinda useless.

Also, no MoC on Visage? Shame on you.
Anti Mage + Wisp best combo didn't you hear about it?your taking kills because your not playing against me :P :P
Could add a Medallion, I usually don't get it though but that's just me can't be bothered because I get 15-20 kills each match so I end up having a 20 minute sheep or AC :P
(click to show/hide)
In all fairness that is retarded. How pissed off would you be if someone did that non-stop to you for 20 mins? Unless she did something very annoying in the first 10 mins of the game there isn't really an excuse for them acting like that.
thread is tl:dr so i apologize if these questions have been covered.
alright, so I'm a nub who played a little of dota, and a fair amount of the various dota clones in SC2.
What do I need to do to get started in DOTA 2? Which hero or heroes should i focus on starting with so I don't constantly feed? Also, it says i have a spectator version of DOTA, will i need to do something to get up and running?

Not really. I've seen people with hundreds of matches/game hours who are still pretty much clueless (and it really shows when they go against somebody who knows what he's doing).Even high level competitive DotA has a high percentage of clueless people. Many good teams consist of a core of good players and then to fill slots the groupies are picked up... and amount of games played is certainly no guarantee of anything at all.

This badass bullguy is so much fun to play.
Yes, not the best one in the game I'm aware of that. But I really enjoy autopilot-mode map travel and totally taking people out of fights by bashing them to death.

pretty arrogant statement. maybe some arents as good as others but calling them rightout clueless, lol.

Gotta love it when some random Peruvian adds you on steam and offers a Tidehunter Naval Mine for your Captain Bamboo, then gets all upset when you tell him to fuck off.
Well, you did want 30 keys for it.
im just stating that the ussage of clueless, imo is pretty arrogant and out of place as a description of ''alot of players'' in high competative dota. that is all.
because of the defenition of the meaning clueless, imo its very exangerated.
most games i play are in very high, most of the time people know what they are doing , and im sure im not in the highest bracket of very high, also watch pro games from time to time, and merlinis stream. havent encountered people who are clueless there either.Yes, very extensive knowledge!
not saying never, just not alot, something you think is a fact. and maybe our defenitions of clueless are different, but i think you just like throwing the term arround. come play some more games with me so i can give you advise on itembuild :lol:(click to show/hide)
Also for anyone interested, here's a stats page like Dotabuff but this one has charts and pie charts.

But no match-specific stats.
There is a difference though, last time I tried getting into Hoi just by doing tutorials, I couldn't even make any units on my own.

I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a fork than play another pub game of Dota.
Tinker dies mid against huskarr, to be expected i guess.
Solo queued a game just a few minutes ago, enemy team gets huskarr and treant.. ughhhh. Tinker dies mid against huskarr, to be expected i guess. Pugna(me) and skeleton king a got a decent hardlane going, can easily harass enemies away. Bot dies to huskar gank, huskar's getting fat.. not looking good here. Later on a fed huskar appears on top and i die, instant rage from russian teammate: PUGNA NOOB! (this guy already fed huskarr, fun)
The average pub game, gotta love it. Huskarr was level 18 something when i was 10 ^^ We turned shit around though and won, had a farmed riki somehow and a farmed skeleton king.
Ah i thought tinker had only a bunch of magic damage stuffs, i guess thats why i saw huskarr actually take damage from some nukes.
The other day I was laning with some Sven against a solo Huskar. Whenever we went to kill him, the Sven would iniate with his stun from max range then Warcry and run all the way to him, hit him 2 or 3 times then die, then I'd die trying to help him.
And no matter how many times I told him to save the stun until he is low, he just didn't listen, he fed the Huskar this way about 4 times in the early game.
None of you will ever win such a double sided argument, it varies per fight...
On one hand it's good to use the stun to initiate.
On the other hand you can use it to finish him off so he doesn't 100 attacks per second you in the end.
Everyone uses that yolo ulti that Huskar got to bring their opponent down to way low HP so he's not gonna be kiting you...

That Christo, sure, man, he got something going on, something you gotta think about. Thing is, some things last, some things don't, but sometimes you got something that don't last won't be because it's gone, be because it's waiting for its time to come again, maybe waiting on a change. Dota's like that, and so is life. So is life.
So we are playing a game with a few guys, then randomly we all get disconnected, we are radiant, can't go back there is no button, dire wins.
DAFUQ Valve?
Giving a loss for that is just some major bullshit.
So I watched this and it reminded me of when bagge and I did duels and whoever lost the duel had to take a shot. bagge got me insanely drunk that night, I actually went out to meet a girl after that and puked on her, that's how much I lost to bagge in duels.
bagge we need to play dota and you have to drink whenever you die.
Again, stop it or I might drown from the deepness.

No, darling, that wasn't deep, that was common sense. But then again, I guess deepness is relative.
yawn
Forget solo queue. :)
Even when playing alone I prefer Compendium games or just normal...
Or Christo, maybe those guys teamed up with a lower lvl guy? Do they play with lower levels as well then?
Ok, I'm getting really pissed off at the constant disconnect from the servers lately. It happened liked 5 times today, in the middle of a match. And all the matches were going well .... fix the servers plz.Yeah not funny anymore. Played three matches yesterday got disconnected after 19, 31 and 11 minutes. It seemed like everyone got disconnected. Each time the team which did far worse got the win afterwards.
Yeah we tried 3 games yesterday. Disconnected every single one and got a loss on one of them :(
Sounds a bit OP, at least that ult.
If it's a 100% port of the original, then it will.
But thinking about him activating BKB and his Borrowed Time at the same time makes me feel uneasy.
Also the shield activation treshold is 400 hp, what if you hit with a nuke like Finger of Death or Laguna?
I imagine if you hit him with a nuke at say 405hp it'll kill him.
Borrowed time wont be op, just dont attack him during it and wham its useless.
Against low level pubs it'll be OP.

Abaddon best fountain diver in the game for me so far :mrgreen:
I played a game with Thovex going Abaddon. He pwned with him.
I then played I think 4 games where the enemy got Abaddon and everytime they were so shit with him it was funny, using his ulti when they are full health or early in fights. It's so funny when someone with a long range hit like Windrunners Powershot starts his ulti when no one is even close to attack him.
Pff, Phantom lancer is the best fountain diver by far. Abaddon is good though.

If I'm correct that is borrowed time, you can't miss it.
'tis good to have a visual indication though, I don't mind :P
Actually it was 268 wins (me). When you que with 5man you are going to get put against another 5 man (if possible) or at least a premade team and therefore a two guys with 500 + wins who are in a party with 50 - 150 wins can get matched against similar put teams. If you want to get qued with lower win players, have only guys with >100 wins. Easiest way to get lower down if you go 5 premade.We only played 1 game with you yesterday out of 5. On the rest of them Autobus had highest wins count, and we still regularly got matched against people with way more wins.
- When matching parties, the matchmaker now also considers the minimum experience level on both teams rather than just the average.
- Fixed a bug in the matchmaker that was causing it to insufficiently segregate players based on win count.
So I randomed Meepo. Easiest game of my life.

It's not really the thing that they are either shit or really good, its more that they cant communicate at all and still insist on going on eu west servers etc. The only communication they do is when they start to flame people.

We had one lucky game where a couple of us in the UK ended up with 3 other guys from the UK. Awesome game and we won lol.

Ok now it's worth buying the compendium just for the kunkka torrent lol.
Edit: Bought it and got the sword :D That new torrent is damn sexy.
I got mammoth bait, anyone got the cleft hawk calls?
Did you really buy it just for the sword? You basically missed out on the 90 day battle bonus lol, I think theres only like 17 days left.
Haha pretty much. It was worth the money considering you still get a bunch of other stuff. Actually works out much cheaper than most items.
Kunkka is op , you can 1hit whole enemy team at once, if they don't have super tanky heros
One item "Blademail"
I also played TA mid against Kunka, worked pretty well. You just have to know when he last used his Tidebringer.
Kunkka is op , you can 1hit whole enemy team at once, if they don't have super tanky heros
Shadow blade :) Most of the time people don't bother buying dust vs kunkka I've found.
Kunkka with 3 divines :DD not much more to be said. GG
Yeah, but after you do your 1 hit, and it doesn't kill anything, they can just turn around and kill you.
1) Buy a blink on Kunkka.
2) X Mark yourself, blink, splash people down, adios!
3) Repeat step 2
Been tempted to try this for a while. Especially as it's so easy to farm kunkka once you get crystalis.

There's this story that this guy Thovex played Furion bought 2 rapiers and tped in middle of enemy base then fed them to superfarmed Shadow Fiend.

Talking of Rapiers... I remember when Thovex carried with Venomancer and won the late game with a rapier.

Haha, comparing wins at match start, some of my friends do it all the time: "oh noes the opponent has 200 more wins, it's gg".Yes, that was always fun. Oh noes three hundred wins!!! We can't POSSIBLY win this one!
I hope most people decide to hide it.

To be honest, matchmaking works a lot better than people think. Take me for example, after 250 wins in around 480 games I'm still in the Normal Pool, or as I like to call it, The Vanguard Pool.
Thovex uses his alt Maguuma to play with scrubs like me, after about 20 wins his alt made it into a higher pool than me. The matchmaking isn't done by win rate or KDA, it kind of watches the way you play and puts you in the right pool.
People complain about the enemy having hundreds of wins more than them but as I play more and more, I realise that it doesn't matter. I've had plenty of games where someone on my team has 800 - 1000 wins and they are utter shit and build Vanguard on every fucking hero.
It doesn't matter later. However when you are between 0-200 wins and get matched with people 500+ then it matters a lot as usually at that point most people are still learning heroes ect.
What people with 200 wins are still learning heroes?
aaand playing each hero once isnt enough :lol:
Obviously win count as a measure of one's capability is very innacurate once they're out of the newbie stage. But like I said in my example, the difference between a 10 wins guy (provided he's not a smurf, dota/lol pro) and a 100 wins guy is pretty huge, even though the 100 wins guy still sucks.I'd say LoL backround would rather harm than give some advantage since the game develops lots of habits that are unwanted in dota. HoN background might help though.
I'm now officially 6 games behind, instead of the 12 I had not so long ago.
Something changed a bit too suspiciously. And it's definitely not my personal skill because I am bad.
Well I don't know.. maybe matchmaking works.. somehow.. in it's own ways?
You need a team pennant to get drops.

I opened six TI3 chests yesterday cause I really want a TI3 courier, Feezle-Feez (https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/p480x480/994851_576570639052212_642129599_n.jpg), but all I got are the 2 Spectre items, the ugly helmet for Alch (where you can see his brain) and other stupid stuff no one would ever want. Not even the staff for Rubick. :/
Btw regarding TI3, Fnatic did a really good job. Won 5 of 6 matches, both matches won vs mouz and na'vi and only lost 1 game vs Zenith... guess most didn't expect them being that strong. :)
Edit: For those of you with a Compendium and a Fantasy Team:
Day 1
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AlzUHKsSp_ybdEc1TkMxcXlnSEUyMl9vMnpCMnRhMFE&toomany=true(click to show/hide)
Why isn't he casting TI3 anyway?
Are you playing Alch sometimes or more often? I rarely do cause I'm usually Support or Mid when playing with friends.^^
I did before but I got reported in pub cause "that alch did have no farm". Same happened to me when I played Davion and Sven support. But all 3 are actually fine for that.
Bad thing about Alch support is just his passiv that's not much use if you do 0 last hits. At least you can back creep, that's working. :p
Quite interesting. There's only one hero that hasn't been picked yet, and that's Meepo. Come on Fnatic!
Riki, Sniper, Drow...
Are you playing Alch sometimes or more often? I rarely do cause I'm usually Support or Mid when playing with friends.^^
I'd trade it for some nice stuff (must not be 20 uncommon items haha, just some item that looks nice for Rubick, KotL for example). =)
Twitch lagging so bad, but if you watch ingame you dont get all these cool cams.. Oh the choices :P

Got another abandoned game today because 2 of our Russian teammates unpaused, then blame me for losing the game when they go 2v5 and dies immediately.
PS: Chinese doto is so fucking boring.
I've seen people from my team unpausing a few times even though it was our teammate that was afk/paused, which resulted in the enemy getting a free kill. Just what are some thinking. Why even unpause if its your team that needs the pause
Doesn't sound that unbalanced as a lineup, the only problem is convincing the Alchemist to play as support (good luck with that).
You should of picked another carry Overdriven. Teach them a lesson.
I wonder why Alliance didn't attempt to ban Alchemist at all, he gave them major headaches in all games.
Can you tell me why?
Well the compendium gave you a battle bonus of like 125%, the more battle points means you level up more which means you get more items. It lasted until TI3 was over and it came out like 3 months ago.
Reading the playdota forums. So many Na'Vi fanboys raging hard and calling Alliance cheap for pushing the lanes like they did. I personally thought it was fantastic play and they out manoeuvred Na'Vi big time.
Typical retarded navi fanboiz, alliance couldn't have won a teamfight so they used another (completely legit) tactic. Ofc s4's coils helped a whole lot there, but yeah.
Only bad thing about that strat is that it's fucking boring to watch. I kinda miss TI2 wombo combo teamfights, even if they were a bit broken.

Ah, it wouldn't be a MOBA without at least one player doing that :lol:
Dota 2 is not a MOBA. Riot invented that name and dota 2 has nothing to do with that. Dota 2 is an ARTS! And any kind of this games are Dota-style games or based on dota.
Please refrain from using words like MOBA, champions or minions. dota players find that highly offensive (I'm talking about real dota players, wc3!).
I already hated (I think it was him) LD for saying minions once, direclty switched off sound. Honestly, it may sound like a small thing, but I'm enterly serious about it and detest anything connected to LoL.
So I was looking at this interview with Dendi (http://uk.gamespot.com/dota-2/videos/walk-and-talk-with-dendi-after-the-international-dota-2-finals-6412841/) after the finals. Then I noticed this comment below the video...A youtube channel with most videos well below 1k views, who cares?
"I literally cried my heart out, I hope alliance burn in hell for their rat ass doto..... fight like men no alliance will ever do... but what they did is part of the game.....sigh "
- MassDeparture1 and this guy has a youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/MassDeparture?feature=watch).
Also, did i really step on someones toes, by calling it a MOBA, which is how everyone everywhere calls this type of a game?
I agree with the terms "champions" or "penta kill" being a crime if used in a dota broadcast, but who the hell cares if this is called a MOBA or not. Hating on it just because Riot thought of it brings you down to the pit of fanboyism where all the filthy dota and lol fanboys rot.
Best fight of TI3 imo was Alliance vs LGD game 1. Lots of kills on both sides, lots of good teamfights going both ways, and that hype ass rack race at the end.
dota 2 is a dota-styled game.
Asians brought Razor to TI. It was funny during the first games to see them banning Razor nearly every time. I'm not sure if western teams did actually expect them. Later on Razor was sometimes played as well. Oh well, 73 banned and picked ain't that bad after all. =D
Broodmother, once picked, and that by mouz. They failed horrible with it, as I guess most ppl expected... broodmother is also one of the weakest heroes ever.
Edit:
Here you can check what heroes were added at what patch: http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Patches

Nothing is more frustrating when some scrub that you cant communicate with and then he just keeps feeding, retorts to blame his being bad on you, and calls you mean things like "nob", "worlok feder nob" or "you noob" "very very noob" "jajajaja" "ты такой нуб" or any other stupid gibberish they can type out that hurts my feelings and I sit in a corner and cry for 2 hours straight eating a whole tub of ben and jerrys.You're not fucking them back?(click to show/hide)

I have a tendency to pick up unnoticed characters or heroes in games for some reason
I tried out Slardar, his slithereen crush is boss, nice escape or catch-up skill as Sprint, a sweet 25% stun bash, and dat - 20 armor reduction, which you can increase with items, is great.
But there's one thing. How do you get rid of his mana issues? Everywhere I read I can't see much of a mana regen item other than vlads maybe. I mean.. he has low cooldown spells of awesomeness, but I can't spam 'em.

Thats funny, weren't you the one who tried to start the russians flame on a previous page?
I had many good games where NO COMMUNICATION at all was needed. I had 2 Rus in my latest game today that carried us through as Bane and Alch. We used chat wheel and pinged on the map. As the guys I play with and play against have played 800 to 1200 hours they should know how to play and team play with ppl they do not know.
Of course it is obviously annoying if a language is spoken the whole game and you do understand it. Except for cyka. :P
And anyone can join any server, it's probably going a bit faster to play that way. I only queue EU West though.
You obviously cant detect sarcasm then and didnt read what I said. I dont have a problem with any race or nation, but when they have their own servers to play on, what is the point of them coming to NA servers? All that accomplishes is getting a different scene in the dota world and different play styles. What it also bring is little to know communication between your team which results in your team getting your shit pushed in. When they do communicate all they are doing is blaming your for a single death or maybe they yolo'd into some enemies and expected you to be there with them supporting them but you werent there because why? No communication.
The only thing that would come out of me joining a Russian server or any other one thats far away, would be terrible lag, cant talk to my teamates, and just a bunch of hate and tension between eachother. Its pointless. It goes either way. Stop twisting it up.
Dont be prejudiceMmmhhhh, try again.

Double Daedalus gives you ~43% to crit, which means guaranteed crit in 5 hits.
Using this example as I'm thinking over if it's really worth it going 2xDaedalus on Kunkka instead of items like MKB or Abyssal Blade (don't have the balls to go for Rapier).
Blink Dagger with Shadowblade, Daedelus and 3 Rapiers is the only way to play Kunkka, X mark yourself, blink shadowblade splash enemy team instakill and gg you're back.
Why would you need to x mark yourself if the whole enemy team dies?Style points.

Shouldnt do that in pub. A simple problem... the enemy on their safe lane will push the lane as their creeps arent stopped by your own creeps. That means they either push the tower or got to attack a second hero on that lane.
It also means that the enemy, if they are not too dumb, will soon notice how and where you stop them.
That method is always good for a laugh though, but ES will seriously lack levels in the beginning. :D
Yes, all these newmy old friends complaining about Dota 2...
DotA was a hundred times worse unless you were playing in a highly moderated, private league.
I really hate playing Elder Titan, but messing people up with the ult can be fun. This just happened in my game:
Also note the lol at start when SB ulties morph at the same moment as he takes over the illusion
Did you play wc3 dota? Everything went easier now. Couldn't reconnect to the game when disconnected, people leaving during the 5sec countdown, matches were always remade for at least 2-3 times. You were really lucky when a game actually started and no leavers were present. Didn't really matter that people did feed because you were at least happy that you were able to play the game.
Today people start reporting others for leaving a game (which is totally alright) or being afk. It happens rather rarely but was common in wc3 dota and happened every 2nd/3rd game at least.

no more armlet toggles
Fixed Shadow Blade revealing only when the attack hit the target rather than when it was launched
Let's discuss this
Does this mean only for right clicks or also stuff like:
- Shadowfiend ulti under SB
- Furion teleport under SB
Would be a pretty huge gamechanger for some heroes if it applies to stuff like that as well.
Well it says it will reveal you when the attack has hit instead of launched, that can't be for skills since that's already the case for skills.
So if you shadowblade attack someone and someone goes invisible before the projectile lands you won't reveal yourself. :)
nah just the script (simple console command) where you can literally instantly disable/enable it and you'll even armlet through 0.5 second dots and stuff.
This is an interesting point. It's some small nerf to all armlet heroes like Naix or Huskar. Saved me many times doing quick armlet toggles. However it also killed me sometimes doing it too often. :D
Will need a new tactic for naix then, if that change makes armlet less useful. Usually it was a rush to boots, hands of midas and armlet on naix. Having those 3 items he was really strong already.
its the otherway arround, they fixed it so that you get revealed on launch..
Wait, for real? GG = suicide?

Cykamancer :lol:
Only thing that annoys me when playing support is that when I get trash talked by a guy who looking at this Dota profile only plays carries, calls me a noob and feeder for dying when simply doing my supporter task, if you think I'm feeding my lane, then get your ass up here and help me, way too little credit to the supports.
Rule #1 is... a very bad rule. Rather, the mid player should have priority.
Stop feeding, kuoin and learn to play! A support shouldnt die either that much. Of course he dies more than a carry usually. I for example die for my carry, e.g. as Venge I swap with him so they often kill me instead of him. Or bodyblocking the enemy so the carry can run.
They may cry about it in games with ppl having 100+ wins but in high bracket ppl usually know the roles and understand stuff. :P
I rarely die as a support cuz I'm pulling in the jungle and shit, but what I meant was when you die maybe 2 times on a lane and you have this dickhead in your team, the Russian kind who goes all "Stop feeding, noob" because you died trying to save your lane partner. Like a game I had yesterday where these premade Russians went PA and Luna bot, they got maybe 2 kills on the enemies offlaner, then when me and my lane partner proceed to die against a Doom ultimate and a missing mid while they've been stuck on bot for 14 minutes doing nothing to help the team, its really annoying to have this Russian constantly spam "useless feeders, uninstall dota, I fuck your mom" with broken English.
What I've learned, never let a Russian pick a carry.
OMG useless shit spammer delete forum acc! i fuck ur dad!
There is nothing worse than having a Russianvoid in your team.

You mean "watch tab", check for name and high bracket for example?
If you share your profile, ie. in options share it with anyone, you can check matches on dotabuff. Checking a match there tells you the skill bracket.
Dotabuff? My brother had a game after the patch yesterday and his game on dotabuff says his skill bracket. Don't care about the ingame watch tab then.
Oh wait, http://dotabuff.com/matches
when checking that all games say "normal" skill bracket, so I guess you may say the truth.
Where do you think dotabuff got the bracket? :p It was from in-game preview, so since it's disabled in-game now, dotabuff gets normal skill bracket for every match.

Half-Life 3 Confirmed.
I've decided to give it a try after a longtime. Since i'm noob at those kind of games i wanted to play as support with Shadow Shaman. I really like it. I mean lots cc option on it and good damage with ''Ether Shock''. I still need to learn a lot about items. But let me describe you my first game. 3 russian 1 hero and me. One of them left the game instantly after the picks, other two didn't talk any other language than russian and the last one The Hero were chasing, attacking everything without checking his hp. So how am i supposed to learn this game? or is this even possible?
Read guides, practice with bots. Volvos matchmaking rating detection system is a bit "soft" at start so if you do good you should get matched with better players. This is the ideal scenario. The normal scenario is that you'll just have to put up with all kinds of retards on your team. Or get friends.
guides, tutorials, pro streams. read up get knowledge, practice last hitting, know all heroes/ atleast the meta. when you feel you know the game abit better and still get partyd up with tards, u can always make a new steam acc for dota. first 5 games are the games that put you in a skill pool, after that you can slowly pull yourself down or up. so if this is your first game, maybe just make another steam acc and practice on that one.omg dota is serios business, Only after 1 year of practice with bots u can join REAL DOTA!

Better question is what is she going to do. If shes at a point nobody else can reach (unless your batrider or some shit) then she will more then likely not be close to me in most of those situations. She will have to come into melee range and under my sentry/dust/gem. She can sit on a cliff all damn day for all I care, ill push a lane, get some gold/exp, or get some ganks in.

She can sit on a cliff all damn day for all I care, ill push a lane, get some gold/exp, or get some ganks in.Uh, I don't know, evade ganks all day errday? Good luck killing a good Brood now, when she's got blind+lifesteal+AoE spectral dagger that doesn't cost any mana

I feel like Night Stalker will be used in more pro games. Hes already a pretty good carry as it is if farmed decently, got good damage, durable, a nice nuke, and now his upgraded ulti. That will work so good for ganking. Even decreases vision for wards now as well as heroes having less vision.

You cant escape the russians, i've heard they are on the american servers aswell. But yes, from what i've heard russians dont like russians so they chose eu west instead of the russian server.

Sorry to break it to you, but you're the prick of the story if you start teaching people and telling them "what they're doing wrong." And then you're actually surprised the condescending attitude isn't well received? Takes all sorts, I guess.

This. It's no ones place to tell people how to do something better. I even believe telling someone why he fucks up, is a reason to report and Valve would have no problem to mute you for that. Of course that proabably also depends on the way you tell them how they suck.
Simple thing, never tell people how they can improve, they will NOT anyway. Just tell them to stop feeding, that should be allowed. :P
Sometimes that "advice" is rather said like "why no ulti motherfucker" than "please, you should have actually used that ulti in that situation". :P
At least she's using her ulti. Had so mana nagas never using it. :rolleyes:

So youre telling me if some guy doenst know how to use an ability properly or keeps diving or some stupid shit and I try and give him some helpful advice, Im the bad guy?"Doesn't know how to use an ability properly" according to you.

Judging by the reactions, yes.
I cant find you logic sir. When somebody does something wrong, and I mean completely wrong; example they dont know how to use alc stun and they self stun. So I try to give "advice" or "suggestions" on what he should/could do (advice and suggestions should imply that Im being friendly and not flat out being rude to them "OMG WTF ARE YOU DOING?! NO ULTI!?"). Yet you assume that I am just being a dick to them and not giving any actual advice.(click to show/hide)

I personally didn't even enjoy diretide. If it wasn't for all the rage I wouldn't have even remembered it was there last year.
Also don't see how people can rage about this patch being broken but alas people will whine and moan about everything.
So now these ragenerds are spamming Obama's FaceBook page for Diretide.
No Diretide this year??? Thanks Obama!

Meh. You should spam Putin's page.
On the one hand people freak out because of "No Diretide" which is basically only about giving free hats and on the other hand they complain about Valve only making "hats" patches.
But somehow I can understand the general anger towards Valve because they do not even try to communicate with their huge fanbase.

I can't really find the hero that I can just take over a game with ease.
Way worse, you end up in the smurf pool.
"Heroes of the Storm."
Isn't one of the creators of DotA at Riot and the other at Valve?
That's numbers. Numbers do mean nothing. People only play LoL because it's a damn easy game and everyone can play it and win. For the dota genre, that's a bad way to go, for the developers it's an easy way to go because people want to win and have an easy time.
Never played league, though
That was an under-par trailer, coming from Blizzard :|
But who cares, I guess most of us are sticking with Dota.
The only bad part is i saw pudge right after he said ''each hero is really unique''You obviously misunderstood what he meant by unique. Unique compared to each other, not unique-in-the-whole-wide-world. Obviously: the whole point is that those heroes are from other games.
Had 54 minute Pudge game, ended up with 7k hp in the end, jesus
It all started falling out of my hands, the only real use of me after some time was forcestaffing into alch, and to hold him in place while my teammates beat him down. Medusa started kicking our asses too.

Man I fucking love Tusk so fun to play(click to show/hide)
I played him a bit in Dota 1 at a local internet cafe that had WC3 installed for some reason. He is definitely going to take a lot of getting used to, both to play as and to play against, and it was really confusing trying to figure out what each skill could and couldn't do. But eventually I started getting the hang of it. Let me try to summarize it simply:
He has a push, a pull, and a repositioning skill.
You can push enemies or allies.
You can only pull allies.
Your push and your pull are targeted linearly, meaning draw a line between the hero and your target and that's the direction your push/pull will go. Therefore, use your repositioning skill to line up your other two skills most effectively.
Your push sends your target away from you, and any units they crash into will be dealt damage. This is your "nuke"
Your pull is somewhat similar to an instantaneous tether-stun on old wisp. You pull your ally toward yourself and any enemies inbetween you and your target become stunned as your target passes through them.
NOW, if he didn't have his stone caller ability this hero would be very easy to avoid all of his skills entirely, so what stone caller allows you to do is place stones that can be used in place of enemies or allies, so you can push them or pull them. Using a stone also grants bonuses over using a unit. On your push, it also silences in addition to your normal nuke damage (5 second silence.) On your push it also goes further and faster than if you targeted an enemy unit. On your pull, it also adds damage to your stun allowing it to be your second nuke.
Your movement skill has a 0.6 second charge up time before you'll actively roll. Think sonic the hedgehog charging up his spin before releasing it and shooting forward. It's cancelled when being stunned so it makes it slightly unreliable as a true escape mech.
Your movement skill is doubled in distance and speed when rolling over a rock, so, I mean, there's that...
Now, the ultimate was kind of like an AOE debuff that just puts a damage over time spell on your enemies, that gets refreshed every time they touch a rock meaning it can theoretically last a really really long time (maybe forever depending on rock refresh rate, not sure) if you're able to renew the debuff before it expires.
Also, every unit effected by the debuff kind of becomes "linked" together in that if one of the units who has the debuff is affected by either the silence or slow from the push or the movement ability, then all the other units affected with the debuff also receive the silence or the slow. Rocks also EXPLODE when they renew the debuff and apply it to all units around the rock, so it can really just propagate like a virus provided you can get your rocks into all the correct positions.
As for how this complicated hero is played.... I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE. We'll have to see. The sky is clearly the limit.
Actually here is how it's done:
Summon rock directly behind enemy or exactly ontop > Pull the rock (stunning the opponent) > instantly start rolling towards the opponent (you will hit the rock that is being pulled to you during the process granting you a guaranteed hit) > A or B
A: kick opponent into your allies
B: magnetize > summon a lot of rocks to make sure all opponents are now magnetized > kick one rock (to silence all opponents) > roll over a rock towards any opponent (to slow all opponents)
dafuq happened to storm spirit
He emigrated from Mexico, stopped eating tortillas and went to the gym a lot.
ES is op in dota1
Tried them on the test client, they're fun to play, especially Earth Spirit. Cool combo is Batrider ults an enemy and you pull him with your 1000 range pull :)
I'm wondering what other clever things you can do with his skills. His ultimate I also didn't really pull off at all, I guess you anticipate the location of the team fight and drop a couple remnants and when they get clustered you'd try to get in the middle and use it? I just managed to waste it three times.
Ember Spirits "free radiance" shield is so good for early game, the damage it does is ridiculous and his W is essentially a 50 mana low cooldown Omnislash :Dbattlefury/battlefury/battlefury/daedalus/divine rapier
I'm still not sure whether to actually build maelstrom/mjollnir on him or rather just crit and battlefury stacking.
You can place the remnants pretty fast so you can do it mid fight and then use your ult and it'll do a lot of damage. After that you should try rolling over one of the stones so they all get the 80% MS/AS debuff and perhaps even push one of the stones so they get silenced as well.
I don't get this diretide hype
I played it twice and it was kinda shit.

Also am I correct that his ulti passive is turned off if you are spotted by.. let's say wards? I think I noticed something like that, but not sure.
That would be awesome for dewarding, free ward-sweeper device .

His ulti doesnt make you "invisible" really. It only makes it so you cant be attacked by anything because you are "invisible", whilst in your big black poof cloud attacking people or running away. So yes wards will see you regardless of the vision type since your not really invisible, observer wards will see you.

So really you would use it in a fight like any other ability or even as an escape.

Nothing like the feeling after winning a game which looked basically afk fountain worthy, think we had like 6 kills and they 22 with a pretty fucking fed slark. But for whatever stupid reason they started diving into our base and we got some good trades. Then somehow NP started getting some towers and we just kept winning fights somehow. I was so sure we was going to lose, i almost even went afk fountain, guess this just proves that going afk before youve lost any set of racks is dumb.

Ganking Broodmother
Another old but gold one is when you mid, some people think you're supposed to win both your own lane and their lane for them. Instead of a mid gank being nice if the moment is propitious they expect you to walk down to other lanes 24/7 without any communication, losing xp and gold while your mid opponent freefarms, and just do their job for them.
Some people don't realize there aren't only ganking mids, and even if it's a ganking mid hero, they expect what you said. They're dying in their lanes and then they go "mid ???????? where are u?????". I'm not fucking responsible if you die with Bristle in offlane (how can anyone die with bristle in duo offlane with no stuns?)Yes, if there were only ganking mids and the mid player "had" to gank nonstop, then the best new strat would be to play your #1 hard carry mid and let him freefarm 24/7 while his opponent is absent.

Also, the whole "mid is ganker" thing is just a relic left over from olden times, like many other things. People never stop to think about it or question it, they just automatically call anyone going against the "everyone knows it" facts a noob. Mid is a worse lane to gank from than top and bottom.
I do think mid is for gankingAny reasoning to back this up or is this just a gut feeling kind of thing?
Any reasoning to back this up or is this just a gut feeling kind of thing?
It makes no sense for a solo hero with a lane to himself (i.e farm) to go "ganking" when the situation doesn't call for it. You are wasting gold and XP. It makes so much more sense for a support to gank: they have no items anyway, they aren't level dependent, they usually have great disables, you don't know if they went ganking or warding or jungling when they disappear, if they fail a gank it's no big deal it's a victory even if they create space in the other lane, there's somebody left in their lane to take advantage of the creep kills, can buy smoke realistically for ganks etc etc
So tell me again, why should a mid hero go ganking? It's like demanding the trilane carry should go ganking
You've gotta be playing against some really bad people if they don't have time to back off when they know
a) there's a haste rune in the rune spot closest to them
b) the enemy mid is running to it
http://dotabuff.com/matches/462891907 Seriously, sometimes i just really hate this game. I randomed riki, someone picked mid alch, drow pick went offlane. Okay please pick a support. Denied- Nyx comes safelane and steals farm, clock goes offlane and feeds. Not a single ward was seen that game and i had a very hard time keeping up vs an LC that kept snowballing, a tanky fucking huskarr and a good invoker player. I mean, im at 3.6k rating, is that really not enough to not get teammates like this? Its not high but i cant really get it higher when i get teams like this.

Your rating means shit because you're teamed up with bad players anyway. You can't see the rating of other players but I doubt most of them are even close to your own rating.
3,6k is below average anyway, I guess.
At least you knew what to expect. I find the worst ones are when you have supports who refuse to actually buy any support items or wards and instead buy a hand of midas and try and carry.
By friends, I got like 60 people playing Dota 2 averagely, bigger forums where people express their MMRs etc.
Also for unranked MMR the average
5% 1100
10% 1500
25% 2000
50% 2250
75% 2731
90% 3200
95% 3900
99% 4100
Was 2250 so it can't be 3600 for ranked.
MMR system is bad anyway, as wins are only counted so it is still better to play in a team and team mmr should be far higher than solo mmr anyway, as you cant decide what idiots you got in a team in solo mmr. And most times there is only scum. :P

very similar rolesvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
Xant of there aren't 2 same heroes in the game.
There also isn't 1000 heroes in the game. More obvious facts at eleven..?
for my noob self whats this #1 #2 #3 etcPositions the hero is played at. #1 is hardcarry, given farm priority, #2 is the semicarry, etc.
Just because two heroes are both good for mid doesn't mean they are similar. Puck is more of a #3 or even a #4 whereas QoP is a definite #2 who you often buy auto-attack items for.
Afaik you can build auto attack just as good on puck as on QoP, not played them much but they have similar attackspeed and good int/damage gain. I think its better on puck actually, her abilities allow her to stay and fight longer.Nope.
What is this damage build you are talking about?
Do you mean Desolator, MKB, Daedelus style or Hex/Orchid/Aghanims?

Haha wat is dis, hilarious.
So about 30 minutes into this game, the enemy was up 40-19, pushed us back to our base, having only lost two tier ones themselves, and about a 10k lead on gold and exp. They had a consistent lead of 20+ kills about the entire match until we won a single teamfight. Then Game of Throws came into play and this was the end result. It was probably one of biggest comebacks/throw I have ever seen of a Dota 2 game. I was astounded that we won.

I was Doom.
Haha wat is dis, hilarious.
40-19 with 16 kills on lifestealer's and only late game item he has is boots of travel? also no armlet lifestealer #numeta
Or just look at those lasthits, game at 60 mins...
what about vanguard lifestealer? bloodstone puck building aghs? no mek @ 60 min?
:lol:

They went to gank a Doom with Shadowblade with their whole team... and didn't bring dust, sentries or gem?
Who needs dust or sentries when you have failure and the chance to let me get away? XD
What are you new?
XDXD lelel YOLO
Shall I direct you to 4chan?
how do i walk
I've just about had it with furions, timbersaws and earth spirits :?
Furion is just gay, timbersaw is somewhat op, earth spirit is just plain broken. Slarks broken too. Icefrog needs to step up his balancing :P
I sense some madness in you, Tor.
just played this game http://dotabuff.com/matches/477455537Arcane boots, vanguard and yasha on Ember Spirit... doesn't look like he would've been useful even if the lane had been won
Was in the bottom lane with Ember spirit as Juggernaut (first time jugger) and we were facing Sniper and ursa. We lost the first tower and died a couple of times due to Ursa standing in the way of sniper and sniper stunning the crap out of us. The guy rages 3-4 mins in screaming Juggernoob because sniper hit him with his ulti. He rages and goes to tri lane with his 3 man stack leaving me a riki to fight the mid and bottom. Ofc me and riki clean up raping and riki getting most of the kills. Then he screams some more when we win easily shouting noobs and bg :D gotta love some people. Even if i had a bad game tis no reason to scream noob LANE LOST GAME LOST GG after 5 mins esp as we only lost our first tier tower in that lane the whole game <3
people in dota make me lol

Thank the lord for that, otherwise every support would constantly buy 5000 wards and spam them all over the base etc for mmr.

Sniper
Take Aim range bonus increased from 80/160/240/320 to 100/200/300/400
:mrgreen:
if it goes on like this, give it one year and sniper will have 2000 attack range
Still a crappy hero tbh
That's the funny part
Lion ulti change might be sick but very situational. I want to try it :mrgreen:
Yeah, very situational imo. Only with Seer/Magnus/Enigma really. 200 AoE is really small.
EDIT: Checked my last few games on dotabuff, each of them had at least 2 level 3 black in spanishnomicons, so happy with this nerf.
Breheh RIP Earthspirit (19 matches play, 63% winrate). Probably still a decent hero, just not as much "i'm gonna rape you at lvl 3 and you can't do anything about it"
Thinking about Terrorblade builds, since he's an illusion heavy hero I'm thinking you basically build him like Antimage(w/o battlefury), Spectre, Phantom Lancer:
- Power Treads
- (maybe Drum of Endurance here since his health is abysmal)
- Diffusal Blade
- Manta Style
- Heart of Tarrasque
- Butterfly
- Optional/situational: Skadi?
Thoughts?
pls no YOLO low hp sunder dagon builds
Uh... ranked is still pub...
When you face off 5 v 5 in a ranked match you'd expect the enemy not to capitalize on someone having internet problems, we waited for the, but they didn't wait for us when we got a disconnect. I wouldn't call a premade 5 man vs another premade a pub match ...Then you clearly haven't played anything that isn't a match. (http://http:/www.ok.com)

Maybe I'm rude or something but I cba wait 15 minute for people either I go tops like 5 minutes I guess.
It was under 5 min, cuz I kept reconnecting and had 3-4 min before the dcs
Fucking shitty players. Go party in ranked matchmaking, suddenly my net decides to fuck all. Finally stable after 15 minutes, Anti-Mage level 4 and enemy PL with radiance. The moment we paused they just unpause. Funny how they almost lost, fucking trash players, if it was pub i'd understand but unpausing in ranked just to get ez win is so lame ...
I thought 15 :-l
Guys i found a useful android application called "dota 2 smart picker". When you choose enemy team and your team, it suggests you the best counter heroes. It has several good comments on GooglePlay but i wanted to ask our pro guys if it's worth using. :twisted:
Counters are boring, real men use any hero to counter.
Also, new Mana Void size: http://i.imgur.com/Rqa9Z8e.jpg :lol:
Also, new Mana Void size: http://i.imgur.com/Rqa9Z8e.jpg :lol:Fuck magic indeed.
So when are these changes actually getting implemented?
Well on the phoenix update is says that will be released today.
PS: Filled 2 pages with my hats for the Offering :lol: including a couple of mythical couriers, rares, uncommons... pretty much everything I wasn't using. I wonder what'll come out of it.
Not really. FV is still pretty weak. Maybe he'll see some use now, though.
Faceless Void's ulti was a bit too easy to counter with a force staff, so I guess that small buff was to change that.
1000 MS is still ridiculous, weak or not. Max movement speed would've been ok.Uh, why does it matter? You have 1000 movement speed.... inside 450 AoE.
This faceless void change is beyond ridiculous, what the fuck icefrog seriously?
anyone know what this offering stuff actually means?
No idea how we won this one http://dotabuff.com/matches/491866533
so im 400 points from level 13. Do you guys recommend playing ranked at that point or wait for a while? :P
ranked is pretty much the same as unranked in terms of gameplay so do as you wishpretty much, you just get a number that people can brag around with.
pretty much, you just get a number that people can brag around with.
This is very true if you prefer to play solo, it doesn't really matter if you play ranked or not.
Hell I haven't even done all 10 calibration matches yet, just a few. Might try to do it but it's the same thing so far
stfu sub 6000 mmr garbage
Why does Terrorblade look like he was designed and modelled by someone who has never done any designing slash modelling ever before
He also has this disturbing autistic, expressionless look on his face 24 7
Like I already said in this thread, Terrorblade is just too fucking ugly, and yeah the model is way too big as well.You're just jelly you don't have beautiful wings like him.
lel wet
I played ranked solo (still calibrating, need 3 more games for MMR), and got matched with cRPG guys on my team
Gnjus, Umbra, Dado :D
That was so random, we wrecked the enemy like crazy 8-)
Yeah, upon seeing the name I inquired out loud on TS and after getting confirmation that it's you (Prps has you on steam and knows your avatar) I actually facepalmed silently. Luckily enough - all ended well. :wink:
Dat moment tusk rolls everyone into the middle of a gank while we are trying to position/run/cast ultis

One of the guys we play with only plays TA. It took us the better part of a year to get him to start trying others. He's now expanded to Viper, Lina and Necro.
http://dotabuff.com/players/15643838
Actually the item builds that are shown ingame are for most heroes alright and after a time you get an idea what you personally need and like the most.TA needs a BD way more than Puck does.
But Blink Dagger is part of TA's build as well as it is a part of Puck. :P
Like that in-house game where your TA wrecked mid and all of us but in the lategame you just fell apart :P(click to show/hide)
They probably made him ugly so more people buy that set which is going to be released for him. Haven't actually seen what that looks like properly though.

Got into low prio because of my retarded ISP.
disconnects, 80-90% packet losses and always stopping internet flow.
I called up tech support they said "everything should be fine now"
Guess what happened. New match, some time in I got 75-80% packet loss, and lost connection.
Fucking hell.
Edit: It's deserved because I have ruined the game of 9 other people but damn does it feel unfair at the same time.
aaaa, finally out of low priority.
Hope my internet won't pull this on me again, it was a painful weekend.
You can get out of low priority in 25 minutes ish time
Did people not try to last hit at all in that Lycan game? Riki, 11 last hits in almost 30 minutes, Tinker 30, AM 40, Meepo 30, Treant 8... what the actual fuck? Your team's best is 84 with DP...
Well, nevermind -- looks like it's a trend in pretty much all your games, I think it's the bracket. But I mean the LH numbers I'm seeing in your games are insanely low, like it'd take effort not to last hit enough creeps to get more than that. If you want ez wins and to carry your games, I suggest focusing on improving your own last hitting a lot. When your enemy farms that little, you can turn the game around all by yourself if you can farm really well.
yeah i need to practice it a bit :D Most games at this newb noob level you lane for 5-6 mins then its just crappy team fights and running around :P Last 7 games have been support or ganker. Hard to find time to farm in nub games :(
I do facepalm a lot when im support as most people dont even try to last hit :(
ive practices pulling creeps into my wave and stacking creep/ancients last few games but no one bothers hitting them anyway so might as well just yolo play ^^ (also i know i suck im like peasant who just found out theres a manual block :D )
yeah i usually look at the highest rated steam guide ingame to get a general idea for a heroes items :P only char i think ive built battlefury on is Anti mage and once on jugg
Got the same guy twice in two matchmaking games.
First game he plays wraith king. Things are going ok, we start dominating the team fight. But his first item choice was divine rapier. Naturally he then loses it and we proceed to get raped. Basically threw the game as he had no other items.
Second game he picks clinkz for offlane. Feeds first blood and then ends up dying 12 times, our next highest deaths were 9 and I only had 4. Guy just kept soloing into their jungle and feeding. So that one was a loss as well.
Getting the same person on your team who single handedly fucks up a game twice just sucks.

Also for some weird reason (curiosity I guess) I downloaded Heroes of Newerth.
lol bro don't be a bundle of ironwood branches
I was joking anyway :)Same here. I can't understand why they play it over dota.
I have tried League of Legends too (all my rl friends play it ;_;), can't judge without trying right?
Same here. I can't understand why they play it over dota.
Because they're married?

Veno is my favorite so I tried it's HoN port and it was weird. Everything is on crack and the UI gave me eye cansur
I've heard a bunch of stupid arguments when I asked them that. But imo they don't switch because they're used to it and cba learning a new game with 100+ heroes and all the shit that comes with it.
From what I know, you can progress your account with a real effect on it, like you become more powerful or something.
They just don't want to play without their compensation crutch, whatever it is. :lol:
I'll have to check that game too, see what is all the fuss about it.
Some day people will stop getting mad when i dont understand their jargon :DFurion = Natures Prophet. I guess those are names from the first DotA and people still use them for whatever reason.
guy was like Furion hes at bot. Furion come top etc.. then raged when i didn't do what he asked. sif im supposed to know wtf a furion is :D and whats your cs? whats cs? etc :P

Yeah, having played dota on wc3 really helps with all that name stuff. Too bad all the legal stuff with the Blizzard prevented them importing the whole hero name system into dota 2.
For example "puck", if you don't know what he is.... well good luck guessing that yourself. I mean wtf?!? a flying hippie-turd that shoots bling and ....yeah.
Anyway: about LC being too stonk = try against an enemy team that has Dazzle on it. :lol:
Furion = Natures Prophet. I guess those are names from the first DotA and people still use them for whatever reason.
"Real" names?
Well, dota 2 addresses dota 1 and warcraft players though. :)Because everyone plays Dota for the hero names. Also implying Dota 2 doesn't have crappy names.
If you like crappy names, go LoL.
Same here. I can't understand why they play it over dota.

Well, its true that other mobas are more "balanced" hero wise, in HoN for example Bara has been nerfed so that he can only charge across edges / he can't charge over terrain.Implying that Spirit Breaker is broken in Dota 2.
Probably because it's better balanced and doesn't have retarded concepts like invisibility, illusions & blinkdagger in it. Also they're able to get over shitty cartoony graphics with midget/kid "heroes" and play if for gameplay, unlike "I'm-so-fucking-pro-in-my-serious-graphics-and-all-other-moba's-are-bullshit" dota 2 players.

Ehm actually every hero gets a "free" blink dagger in LoL, it's a skill that you choose that pretty much every high level player has.
Would love to hear about some real case of your "unbalanced" scenario, so I can refute it.
Man Gnjus, sounds like you hit a wall in Dota and decided to hate it. :P
But if you think those are retarded concepts and that it's an unbalanced game, I think you were just bad at the game and gave up easily. It's what everyone thinks but nobody says. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the state and balance of Dota a bit more indepth.
I agree that starting this among hard-core Dotters was a bad idea so no, I won't start writing walls of text that you LoL haters will dispute, especially because I'm starting a Hexakill match with the lads. Maybe later. :-)
Please remember to tell us about how OP invisibility is.

Sniper is a crappy mid because he has 0 escapes and it's easy to close the gap on him

I like to hear about Osiris Dota adventures whenever I open this thread :D
I just don't like using the shortened names. For example, typing out Bounty Hunter, is too long, bh is silly, so Gondar feels the best :lol:I remember Clinkz Eastwood and Mogul Khan't Touch This ("Mogul Khan" originally, which is the name of Axe).
Then again, in dota 1 you also might get a hero with fucked up name. For example your Ursa could be called FuzzyWuzzy :P
Where is your blink bro?
Who needs blink when you can have the entire enemy team attack you and you just spin in a glorious red tornado of death and they can barely take out 25% of your health.Well, the point of blink is to get the enemy team to attack you, since any decent players would just ignore Axe
I'm engaging them regardless and will use my berserker call either way. So why does it matter if I blink or not, they will be forced to attack me either way.
Which is why axe should be built as DPS.
I'd go MoM (skip boots so you get it faster) --> Deso --> BF --> SnY
I have fourteen mythical axes, I should know.(click to show/hide)
Exactly my point, they are trying to avoid me. Im not just gunna chase them once and if they get away be like "meh, I give up". Im going to continue to chase them. Thats going to disrupt the whole cohesion and plan of engagement they have. Im going to be chasing someone(s) to get close to them to use berserkers call. They cant just worry about me and avoid me, they have to worry about the rest of my team too. And with that note when they get low from my teamates, they will get NBA slam jammed space jam dunked by my ulti. I would know, I have a mythical axe for axe as well ;)Yes, you're going to chase after a single hero and then run to him, which will take you ~5 seconds, use Berserker's Call on said hero, which disables him for 3.2 seconds... and then he continues ignoring you. As opposed to blinking in and not wasting time running around and getting more than 1 hero with your call, in a position that they didn't want to be BC'd in.
So LC dueled me and pudge hooked me out but my char turned and auto ran back to the duel :( does that also happen for BC?
Didn't even know Zeus ulty couldn't hit you if you were invisible.
But now, another question :
If there's a bloodseeker on Zeus's team, will he hit you even if you're invisible, since he will have vision thanks to BS passive ?
But do you have mythical sentry wards?
Any Void build without MoM is bad in my opinion. Why MoM is good:
- level 6
- drop ult on someone
- activate MoM
- free kill
Ranged carry / support comes around and nukes you down fast cuz MoM is active, Dominator gives a lot more durability and the possibility to make a satanic
It looks intriguing, I will try it out on my next game. What build order is preferable? I mean MoM or Armlet, which one is first? The rest is pretty self explenatory for me.

Well I can obviously do better () but you'll agree that every match is a tale of its own combinations and it's not only about me.

omni is just a melee hero with defensive skills, so assists dont really reflect if you played well or not, that is all.

Are you stupid Thovex, the enemy has two heroes with invisibility, what can Gnjus do against such reckless bundle of sticksry?

The retard is strong in this one. You watched me feed on purpose, so the conclusions you can draw from my skill = 0.

Of course I am. There's no better feeling than watching all that rage and butthurt and, best of all, sometimes watching people getting abandons for not moving enough while raging at me about my impending low prio/ban... and then getting no punishment at all for it.

What do you guys think is a good big item for windranger?
I got first blood after winning race to Double damage rune then shackling the guy and we did pretty well got some kills and didn't die till we hit their inner base.
I bought Wards (lots) Phase boots, Mek, Force Staff and then went for Orchid to stop Ember spirits ghey ninja crap.
What would you usually go for after Phase Mek and staff? Euls, Orchid, Vyse or would you go for a more damage/tankier item?

I'm RetrogradeRun. Single draft decided to give me a choice between Chen, Meepo and Io.
I've played ~200 games so I've basically only grasped the basic/intermediate concepts of the game and I like to think I can play a decent support.

I'm RetrogradeRun. Single draft decided to give me a choice between Chen, Meepo and Io. I'm thinking in retrospect I should've picked Io because I have alright map awareness and learned from that game that I have zero micro skills.
I'm still angry about those draft choices it gave me.

Well, I'm on my 10 matches of "calibration" for ranked. I'm hoping I'll be around 3.5k, if that is in fact, average.
PLAYED PRO MLG #gottajoinaproteam(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)
About 3k is average iirc.
I'm on 3,2k because I tend to die a lot, even on hard carry it's pretty common that I die as much as I kill still. Also I don't play much ranked.
So yeah stuff tends to fall out of my control easily still. :/
I want to improve, wat do? I find not dying hard often, if I want to stay and get XP/gold for an example, or when everything is contested.
Edit: It feels as if, sometimes the game is handed to me on a silver plate even if I fuck up horribly like this last lifestealer game I had, died to Roshan & did so much stupid shit but still won. But on the other hand I often feel like a game is an automatic loss, like a waste of a good 30-40 minutes of my lifetime, impossible to turn around so I get bored even if we got a chance, it ain't gonna happen.
Gz, r u dondi yet?
PLAYED PRO MLG #gottajoinaproteam(click to show/hide)
And if you see 1 or 2 guys on your team going in alone and is outnumbered and its clear that they won't win the fight, better to stay back rather than going in yourself just to arrive when they are about to die, or dead.
So pro that you had taken down the first two tiers in mid before the game even started.
I've gone in before just so they think I was there helping them so I don't get berated.
meh team mates keep feeding. never gonna get out of this rank so normal mm it is :P
It's great when you play a hard carry and your team starts forcing fights that don't need to happen and then complain when you don't show up because you're trying to farm core items, all the while they just accelerate the enemies farm.
If anyone starts getting uppity I just assume they'll have nothing positive to add so I just mute them, the game can get intense enough without someone yammering at you and spewing negativity.
For some reason it never works out when I pick Tusk though.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/558577595 (http://dotabuff.com/matches/558577595)
Just played a game where ~12 minutes in and one teamfight behind our Troll Warlord says "gg" and basically kamikazes. He then proceeds to sit in the fountain and type "zzz" repeatedly and periodically leave the fountain so he doesn't get an abandon.
I kind of understand when pros play in tournaments and "gg" not very long into the game but these are pub games where people don't know the game inside and out and people tend to make dumb as bricks mistakes.
For some reason it never works out when I pick Tusk though.
Tusk isn't the best hero either, if you're maining it, don't :P
Yeah, don't you dare maining a hero that you have fun with.. put that shit away and start picking Terrorblade, son.
Tusk isn't my main but he's one of the heroes I've played the most so far (usually get him in Single Draft for some reason). He's fun to play but I don't know if it's me or the team compositions I've had with him but I've a 14% winrate with him.
Six more calibration matches to go and I've lost the first three. The one I just played as Earthshaker the enemy team's Phantom Assassin left after his first death and we still almost lost.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/558666056
Honestly, winning or losing calibration matches doesn't really mean that much to be honest. Valve still gets the MMR kind of right, even if you lose most of them.
Well I know a certain someone who got his mmr, started a new account, and got his second account mmr with 100ish mmr difference so they must be doing something right :P
i had no clue the first games before ranked would ad to rating, so i fucked around alot, played alot of heroes i was bad at to practice and such. so ye taking that into consideration. now il just have to deal with this solo trench shit. only games i win is the ones i coach the freaking team on what to do and positioning.

That was wonderful :cry:
als read on reddit that most people end up in 3500~~ and then go up or down. its a hard knock life for a support player.
Because ppl on reddit are 3500 MMR

Here's a good hint why you have the same MMR:
Because your alt is the same person as your main.
time to make new account(click to show/hide)
So anyone had a large range in MMRs in your games yet? think mine was 200 difference to the lowest last game but it was super noob game.
U can now check the MMRs at the end of the game Tor. :)
Since when? This was a month or two ago
That would basically eliminate 4 stacks from matchmaking tho.. :P
I think it's fine the way it is, sometimes you just get screwed over OR be the one to screw over others :)
tor you live under a rock, 4 stacks are already eliminated from RMM
I met some italians
Got shit talked "i bought wards bounty u didn't kill doom noob gg"
Italians who speak english? I call bullshit.
I'm really liking Slark right now, only took me 200+ hours to realize my gameplay style would fit perfectly with this hero.
I'm hoping to hone my skills with him, Earth Spirit, and Earthshaker now that I've played most heroes at one point or another and at least know what they're all capable of.
Before that though I'm guessing once I finish these next couple of "calibration" matches I'll go back to Single Draft because of it's nature of forcing me out of my comfort zone.
How do you kill Ember as an Axe before a blink dagger? Was he blind?
But you said you killed him mid 3 times?
This game I went jungle and got killed by their Ember mid 3 times because our mid was unable to get any runes and so forth.
How bad do you have to play to be at 1100 rating? :shock:
Wut? No I didn'tYou edited your post nice try but you cant fool me
Late morning coffee ?
You edited your post nice try but you cant fool me
Well, 2826 solo rating.
Edit: According to this scale, which is what the devs stated in the update blog, it looks like I should be somewhere just above the 75th percentile.
5% 1100
10% 1500
25% 2000
50% 2250
75% 2731
90% 3200
95% 3900
99% 4100
I guess that's not too bad considering I thought 3.5k was average.
That last one the Huskar would not shut up for the first 10 minutes. "You didn't call Invoker missing", "jungle? JUNGLE?" (was farming), "wtf!?", etc.
2826 is not a bad rating considering you "recently" started. That scale is off though, that's from unranked matchmaking. You have to consider that there's no newbies below a certain level/games played in ranked and that there are people who just don't play ranked at all. I'd say 3000 is the average, nobody knows for sure though.
I feel you I'm actually 7k MMR but volvo matchmaking is stupid and I get horrible teammates every time that throw the game so I'm sitting at 3k MMR, what can I do, I can't solo win the games. I've made 16 alts so far all ranked 3k MMR so obviously there is something horribly wrong with volvos system. I'm sure if I make another million alts one is bound to be placed in my correct MMR, which is 8k btw haha got you there right, did you really think i was some 7k mmr trench tier garbage
Did you start at 5000 mmr?
You started at ~4100 Miwiw? Had you been playing long before the ranked matchmaking came out or? Maybe I don't play enough online games anymore but it just seems odd that after my ~250 hours of Dota 2 and I still wouldn't even be considered average. :?
So basically what I'm getting out of all I read about this is Valve gave everyone the ability to see their MMR but then no one believes what they said about how it's calculated or what it means.
You started at ~4100 Miwiw? Had you been playing long before the ranked matchmaking came out or? Maybe I don't play enough online games anymore but it just seems odd that after my ~250 hours of Dota 2 and I still wouldn't even be considered average. :?
Yeah for me for an example dota 2 was the first real game like this that I started out with.
Nah, I started at ~4100, then I went down to about ~3980. I didn't play anymore since like 2 months though. Raising it when only playing solo is kinda hard, even when playing fine in every game. It's also not possible to check other people's mmr so I never know if others in my team are as "good" as I are. Or did that change, so you may see mmr of others but friends as well?
Though of course I don't think rating says that much, but if someone is on 1100 after some games, where did he actually start if he loses most games? At 1500? That's pretty low though...
I doubt the average is below 3000 though, considering there are many players above 5000 as well.
If I keep picking Slark I'm going to cheese my way to a higher MMR.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/568310602
Any suggestions for other good semi-carries for when he gets nerfed? I do notice when I watch Merlini that Slark gets banned all the time. I was thinking Juggernaut and maybe learning how to play Ember Spirit.
I don't like Juggernaut myself, needs farm to really kick off and falls off late.
Same tactic :D
http://dotabuff.com/players/23592/matches?hero=slark&lobby_type=&game_mode=&match_type=real
I don't like Juggernaut myself, needs farm to really kick off and falls off late. I do like taking Templar Assassin or Tiny. Tiny can carry pretty hard in late as well, and is good against heroes with fast attack speed due to that craggy exterion and can be really punishing to enemy losing teamfights because you break the buildings so fast. Templar Assassin is a classic semi-carry pick, you still do a lot of damage in early game with no farm and can do pretty well in late as well.
Ember Spirit is also pretty good if you know how to play it, I don't like it that much myself, his health pool is so low.

My pudge and nyx blamed me for losing that game.
only problem in my bracket seems to be people focused only on creeps :D we just nearly lost because after we wiped them 2 of us pushed (their rax were down before push) Luna went off to jungle and one went afk.. Then we had a throne race with one of them attacking ours and 3 of our guys attacking Creeps instead of the throne :( so happy we won it was making me crazy lol

Makes it sound so dramatic :lol:
If it was just about money then id watch poker :P
I mean they make it out to sound like some Hollywood drama when its just some guys playing a game for cash, might watch it i dunno yet :D
You had normal boots all game long, or you disassembled them for a core item, and forgot to upgrade them again ?
They blame you, thinking you'll go support, and yet having 0 wards all game long, maybe. Final stats aren't enough to judge.
Still, a no support team should have been okay at a 50minute farming mark. But there's so little farm on your side. :P
Also, that riki's stuff...
Some people are just retarded beyond belief:
http://dotabuff.com/matches/569936254 (http://dotabuff.com/matches/569936254)
cs is horrible because team was moving left to right all the time, had no time to get any.
And we couldn't get towers at all, people sitting on lots of gold or doing stupid shit, like Naga.
Naga wanted to rush radiance but was feeding around without ANY items until 32 minutes or so, when he finally got Radiance, told me that I have no idea about naga siren and this is how you play it go look it up on youtube. What the fuck man.
I told him that if your radiance rush doesn't work for 32 minutes, at least get some fucking boots or something right? No, seems I'm wrong. Top kek. I just don't get it how can people be this retardedly stubborn. Hope he enjoyed his radiance for those two minutes..
Team wasn't pushing at all even if I pinged them 30 times and spammed chat like a madman.
Lol, funny how the game before he was on the other team vs you and he won :D
After a short winning streak I'm having catastrophic games again <_>
Even losing games can be fun, my most fun games have been really close wins with base races and what not. Most unfun games are chasing rats (furion) half of the time. And there's so many rats in my games... and Miranas. Fucking singsing
Losing games can be fun but not ones where I see maybe at one point we could win, we're down but we have a couple good teamfights, but then silly mistakes are repeated.
Honest to god question but why do so many damn russians and chinese queue for NA servers rather than EU or SEA? I cant count the number of games lost because of no communication. Pinging can only get you so far.

im sure i read somewhere that it comes under ability abuse to trap entire creep waves you can divert them but not trap them.
Intentional Ability Abuse
They intentionally used abilities to the detriment of their own team.
It was a weird match though, we won every team match but they easily pushed through. In the end they still had 3 t2 and 1 t1 towers... :P

Here's probably the max MMR-difference you're gonna get.
2350 MMR
Whenever there is a wave of mental ill people passing by in ranked I just play unranked for a week, try a few ranked games, if people are still as usual utterly retarded then I'll just play more unranked.
Game is fun to play and I'll just iron out some new heroes I usually don't play in ranked whenever I played unranked.
Just noticed this.. some time ago I played a match where my team's average MMR was ~2k lower than the opponents. You can imagine how the game went.
Another thing is that people are creating 5k MMR accounts and selling em for $50 so there's right now a wave of buying retards passing by going back all the way to 2k MMR so gotta stay off ranked for a while. :lol:
(click to show/hide)
Lol long time since that was regular in my games, glad that is over :D
"noob Riki no buy flying, reproted"
(click to show/hide)
and since I will not be able to get a good team always; I will have to do better myself. After all, there are people who reached better mmr levels so the solution should lie in me.
Playing Dota makes you a lot more racist towards other nations :|
I doubt anyone here has a lower MMR than me.
What would that be?
Never play ranked games when your winrate is over 55% (unless you go NA to get ez wins)
Surprising because Drow and Sniper are so easy to counter.
Yeah I know, tells a lot about 3200MMR doto :mrgreen:
Who doesn't sigh?
I am now picking it before some other arsehole does. You know what? World seems like a much more green and lovely place now.
What the hell? If you were PL all KotL had to do was sit behind you and skill up mana leak and chakra magic.
I played a game as PL yesterday, second one I think. I feel like whenever I end up getting to pick a carry the game is already won by the time I come online.
I was actually worried I'll be unable to outcarry AM in late since he's a pretty scary carry
What's scary about AM is that he can have 6 items when you have 2. Not that scary when you're both maxed.
Aside from Anti Mage's vanguard (which is recommended by the devs), ring of health and ring of regen I'd say they look pretty typical.
We even took their supports.
Fuck this game. I love this game.
Why not put that counter in the top right corner? :D

"I hate this game. I love this game."
such is dota
Seriously who do people like this even play Dota?
We were losing all our lanes at first but started winning teamfights and the gold graph was going in our favor, then our Tinker who got 20 min TP boots started pushing against a 13 min godlike Bounty Hunter without any form for detection, he died a lot of times, decided to split push during teamfights. He gave up and started feeding on purpose, even more than before. Sold all his items but kept his boots and bought around 20 fucking couriers and started feeding them to the enemy. So sad to lose games because of people like that ...

Nobody plays AD?Noone? :cry: It's best mode Dota has! Especially, after they removed mepo ult.
If a support can afford AC, then you're better off spending your gold on something better anyway.
Also diffusal blade LC? wud
Gotta remove that coldsnap and track I guess :|
I like playing the Blade mail, drums, Radiance, Mjollnir build :P sometimes i skip drums or only get to maelstrom or get AC instead of Mjollnir but it causes the enemy tons of pain. Walk in with radiance and double life they either focus you and take damage from Radiance + Mjollnir + blade mail then you resurrect to do it again or they dont focus you and you go to town on their squishy heroes or carry. I find it works wonders if you are not the only damage dealer in the team
but you have W lol
Hm, my take on your build:
- Drums on SK only when you're behind, since you don't need raw stats to survive
- Blademail I would also say when you're behind or taking a lot of focus/damage (Ursa, PA)
- Mjollnir visitors can't see pics , please register or login
- Radiance is eh on SK unless you can get it really early
- AC visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Your build is certainly better than Abaddon's! But yours is quite interesting though, rarely see a pudge wearing the AC that's actually meant for the WK. :P
That LC probably thought his diffusal blade would help a lot to put down WK's mana pool. But of course he's not strong enough. Also a reason, that refresher gives some good reg I bet.
Ultimate counter to WK's ulti is an Invoker. Burns down mana so quickly and does empty the pool instantly. Seeing people doing that on pro scene so often... but unlucky Invoker already is on the other team.
Most people probably prefer a really tanky build tho.
Everyone likes hype so here's some to keep you buzzed. The beta client is still getting updates regularly. Some noted changes.
Shadow Fiend has been completely broken down - head, shoudler, arms and etc. I have seen the work in progress model of the new Fiend myself and it is pretty cool. Will not share pictures though. Sorry. :(
Techies is definitely being worked on. He even has particle manifests now. Cosmetic breakdown would be 3 base costumes for Squee, Spleen and Spoon along with the Barrel, Slingslot and the Cart.
The International 2014 Compendium will be happening. I am expecting it to be released soon.
A possible 6.81b small balance patch might be a possibility but long shot.
I have to play support mostly :( that or i go offlane which is fun. If i dont support and place decent wards (not just in runes) and stun and pull creeps or stack then it doesn't happen. If i go carry i usually get a support who goes for every last hit :/ (had a treant tell me i was screwing up the farm he needed)
Treant can be played carry-like as well, should push and end the game in 40mins tho. :P
Why would you give your hard earned pubstomp acc. to Rufio? If he got around 3k mmr on all his acc. and he is losing mmr on your previous account then he can't change what Gaben have given him.

my team picked Anti mage so i picked Brood. Then they pick Dragon knight, Bounty and night stalker. They proceed to epic feed for most of the game while i took top rax. then i have to take mid and bottom tiers 1 and 2 then i have the ancient down to like 300 hp while the enemy team is wailing on our ancient (while my team fails to even deter them) they activated the glyph and we lose with the enemy ancient on about 50 hp :(

in 2 days the compendium have gone over last years compendium at the end of Ti31 day
How do I get my battle point booster? Level 1 and 2 promise a battle point booster (200% and 210%). Guess it's waiting for them to add it?
But maybe things work differently down on my level. :lol:
Isn't pay2win. Cosmetic items don't give you any advantage ingame, so do Compendium lvl or profile lvl. So it's totally fine what they're doing. :)
Whoa! You guys are breaking all kinds of Compendium records. Nine Stretch Goals have already been unlocked with a tenth looming on the horizon.
Today we shipped Loading Screen Treasure and are in the process of granting it to Compendium owners. As for other rewards, we’re putting the finishing touches on the Special Edition HUD and the Immortal Rewards are also coming along nicely.
You’ll also notice the Arcana Vote has been unlocked and is ready for input on your Compendium. This voting is unique in that you vote for your favorite hero in each of the 16 groups to ensure their survival. Those that remain will then be pitted against each other in a single-elimination voting deathmatch to determine which will receive the next Arcana.
We’ve also updated The Compendium website to reflect the current release state of each Stretch Goal.
And, for those still thinking about getting a Compendium, yes, you will receive all Rewards regardless of when you make your purchase.

Got into a game as shaker, started out as shit, then it dropped all of us and it became an unrecorded game.
Get out of jail free card, ty volvo <3
We fought 2v4 me and mirinda who fed all the time, I actually managed to rack up kills with shaker while defending.
Fun, avoided the loss of MMR too.
What does Fantasy League mean? I'm completely clueless :?
3 more slots in the league, when should we do the draft? Apperantly has to be planned.
Norway's 200 year independence anniversary and I'll be sitting inside drafting :D
I put each meepo onto it's own control group, main is 1, next is 2 etc and then all of them on 6. Then when I poof em in I press 2-w-click-3-w-click-4-w-click-5-w-click. If your 1 is already in the spot start with them. If they are blinking in set the poof first and then blink in.
I played a game a few days ago and I don't understand how some people had it at level 58 already. I also didn't like the fact that it kind of shoves it in everyone's face before the game klaxon goes off.

They shouldn't allow any stacks into solo queue.
Getting sick of russian 4 stack blaming me for EVERYTHING, even if the guy dies in the first 15 seconds, or has a score of 1/13.
They allow stacks in solo queue because it would take far too long to make a team with solo players only. Actually solo queue doesnt exist anymore.
I couldn't care less about waiting time.
simply because most 5 men team that play normal match making aren't worth going team match making because they can't really play as a team.
After I've done a bit of research about what techies is, I'm not sure if I'd like that in the game at all.Techies were amazing. Easy to counter if you are careful as hell. E.g spying area with a gem and not walking around alone. :P
Yes I know counterable but for real, I don't think the people really know what kind of hell they want to bring upon themselves.
I'm really getting fed up with 4 carry teams who blame me when I don't do the job of 3 supports.
I won't. Just in spite. They deserve no win.

You need a lot of observing to pull off good global silences that could turn fights around, or make somebody rage so hard. I had a QoP in one of my games that I always silenced in and out, disarmed by last word etc and he died because of like 4 times. He was very angry cause he couldn't blink away. You can screw up storm spirit and QoP initiation so hard with it. :mrgreen:
Another thing I had to get used to is not blindly skilling build but adapt to what lane enemy I was facing. Last game I had to go mid vs bloodseeker. Needless to say he couldn't CS at all because my curses just destroyed his HP.
Really like this hero, from lore to appearance, gameplay, items, concept. It's like a perfect fit. :D
Edit: Until you get romanians and slovak stacks that feed the whole game. I just had a Slovak DK that didn't use his ult when pushing towers, he didn't get a single tower down the whole game when he could. Defek.
stupid americanization for example ajax>ajant, penis>panos
lol u don't even have compendium now wonder ur so bad

Ah yes another game with no wards, no curier and all carrys, better believe all my teammates names were in cyrilic lettering.
well mid can be either a farmer or a ganker
The Russian dreams have come true
I'm totally hooked for this to come again.
Going into game, riki bounty gets picked, I roll out slardar.
Invoker loses his lane against zeus and feeds riki, other lane feeds riki some more, disruptor glimpse-saved his enemies about five times so I couldn't get kills, team not following me when I initiate.
Fun thing is I didn't die at all until the first 35 minutes but then I just completely lost interest. Why play with such focus when you are with a stack that just completely fucks up every possible thing? Eh I pass. Fuck them.
dat chinese doto 2 hour games O.o
I had a period where I would watch around 10 Chinese games a week on BTS. The times I almost fell asleep in my bed :D
Daily hero chalenges are here, yaaaaay already completed mine for today, got Centaur \( ^____^ )/
http://dotabuff.com/matches/696609795
Wtf? I just looked at this last match and one of the guys on the enemy team has ~2000 games under his belt. That's more then 10x what I have.
I wonder if that Bristleback on my team had a similar amount, all he did was yell at me all game. I didn't feed (at least not at the beginning) but I probably could've had more impact if it wasn't my first time playing Shadow Fiend.
I also feel like something is off in the hero selection for random draft because I've had it random for me more times than I can count because I don't realize it's my turn. I was first pick but it didn't play the "your turn to pick" audio and looking up for the yellow brackets over my char portrait I didn't see them.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/696026201
I abandoned this one because I told them at the beginning that I had no supports to pick (they all decided on carries) and then for some reason when I tried to mute two of the guys because they wouldn't shut up about reddit or something it wouldn't work.
The tipping point for me was repeatedly getting ditched even though they were following me all over the map after the early game. I would attempt to initiate with CK's illusions, they would immediately back off, let me die, and then try and engage afterwards and we would get wiped.
Needless to say I had a bad day yesterday.
Here's a golden advice: don't play single draft if you want balance
> That just happened.

no use in any of those items for sniper, rather build Mjollnir/Sange nad Yasha for speed and slap deso on top of it, plus if you want lifesteal slap Helm and viola...

He won't be your friend for long then.aint that the truth
Was sniper shooting lasers or was he lifestealing? It's not really smart to have 2 UAMs except if you have 5000 movement speed and attack speed from MoM with the Deso as main uam.

Jugger is a hero that I am very comfortable with for some reason through the whole game.
Has to be the flexibility, you can put almost anything on it and it works fine. Wish I had that feeling with other stuff as well lately.
Retard build but so much more fun than the battlefury one I see people rushing.
dagon jugger wut?
There we go, personal goal achieved. From 3250 MMR (that was the lowest) to 4024 MMR (53%+ winrate). ~385 ranked games over 6 months.

I literally can't win any fucking ranked matches, they are unwinnable, so I just start going down in MMR without an actual chance.
fuck you valve.
Well done, how is it up there?Still Russian
Still Russian
Looks like I need to go mid and command the fucking game. If I lose mid it's on me.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/722225224 (http://dotabuff.com/matches/722225224)
Supports don't get me anywhere. I don't really like mid though because it's the tryhard lane but ugh, whatever. Need to play more of that.
(OD is not a ganking mid)A concept 90% of people don't understand, so prepare for flame
Keep picking OD, never leave mid (OD is not a ganking mid), people/supports in 3000 MMR don't know they should gank mid, so just farm for 30 minutes then one shot everyone with your ult.
A concept 90% of people don't understand, so prepare for flame
Going lower and lower in mmr, and they say elo hell doesn't exist.
If you aren't good enough to influence slightly more than half of your matches into wins, everyone in your games is probably better then you are, believe it or not, and you belong in a lower skill bracket.
There isn't an "elo hell," just bad players who blame everyone else for losses while having no idea how to last hit, map control, team comp, gank, or just about any other basic DOTA skill.
90% of times it's the other lanes fucking it up, not me.
Then I fight unkillable enemies because even if we kil them once or twice it's over.
That's true, but then you get games like this: http://dotabuff.com/matches/723666022
Even though CK (who was probably hispanic because he didn't say anything) and I basically snowballed at the beginning; my team, all white americans and talking on com, managed to feed the enemy from 10-35 minutes and then Zeus threw a hissy fit and PA kept following me in when I was picking off the supports and Sniper or they stood around, not farming, in the jungles as 3 when they see the enemy coming as 5.
I really enjoy the game a lot but I lose that enjoyment when I basically have to baby-sit. Everyone saying "we need wards" all game even though it's clear at all times where the enemy is and inane decisions are repeatedly made.

lol that game is atrocious no matter who you were in it. look at everyones CS, no one on either team had more than 110 last hits in a 40min game, if you were at all competent at the game you could have easily farmed up and solo carried that one, stop blaming your team when it's obvious you are awful too.
if you truely believe you are better than people you play with, pick a split pusher like lycan and literally just win 1v5 because no one buys TPs enough in scrub bracket, and when they do they always solo tp and feed to a fed lycan or natures prophet ect. do that well and you will win 70%+ times, but of course u won't cause you are actually Really Bad too.

I never said I wasn't bad, I said I was the least bad. Actually, I never even said that, and was more pointing out that non-english speakers were just as skilled or unskilled as people who have english as their first language and that probably at any skill bracket a lot of people don't want to play as a team; on top of people blaming a supposed lack of vision for losing.
im hapy for u that ur on top of the meta and can net 200 CS in 30 minutes and aren't Really Bad. Let me next time pick the OPTM heroes and not enjoy myself in the game and get mad over the fact, not that I'm not good, but that my opponents aren't just Really Really Bad.

How come the winner of the EU qualifier (RoX) aren't selected, but mousesports are, and VirtusPro being runner up, and not TeamCoast ?
Did they not want to join the international ? o_O
Also missed the 1v1... didn't vote for s4 to win that, i'll have to watch the replays.

ATLEAST LET ALLIANCE LOSE
Pls no, alliance and fnatic both at W4-L5, i dont have any other team to root for except c9 maybe.
Btw im very bad at how this whole tournament thing works, are some teams eliminated in playoffs or does it decide where they start in the main event? So even if fnatic does bad in playoffs will they have a chance in the loser brackets or something in main event?
Check this:
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/The_International/2014/Playoffs/Phase_Two#Results
on the right side under Group Legend it says where they'll land according to Phase Two results.
Ah cheers, but fnatic navi us and alliance are all at the same 4-5 why is alliance in the yellow while the others red?
Im not sure why but i cant stand C9. Maybe ill be a fan for Liquid
just got into playin dota, fook me, the south americans are in full force on the NA East servers, and goddamn are they dumb as hell. Would be nice if they just made a simple pop up in an update which makes people choose a language and server based on location, since all the mexicans are too stupid to figure out the menu to find it.
So sad, i feel like i always do relatively well, while my team is either feeding like mad, or just absolutely stupid. The last game i had, my bloodseeker went 0/16 k/d with 4 assists and 15 last hits, like really fuck me what were you doing for 40mins! i deal with this nearly every game.
http://dotabuff.com/matches/772825201
dont be too harsh i just started, ive only played like 50games, and am starting to grasp the concepts, i also died twice in the end in a feeble attempt to keep them away from the fountain while my team perished repeatedly.

Earthshaker is probably my best hero; but then again all you have to do, or all I end up doing, is sitting in the fog/trees waiting for the perfect fissure/echo-slam opportunity. All he really needs is a blink dagger.
The other team was a five stack and it was a reasonably close game until halfway through. I actually got a "gj, earthshaker" from the four stack I was with which was nice because I wasn't in the loop with them the whole game.
That was also the first game I can remember having 'serious' warding and de-warding battles with the opposing supports.

Dota 2 Championships to be Carried Live on ESPN3,
Exclusive Final Match Preview Show on ESPN2
July 17, 2014 - Valve today announced that coverage of The International Dota 2 Championships will be presented in collaboration with ESPN on its live multi-screen sports network, ESPN3. In addition, an exclusive show previewing the final match will be presented on ESPN2 on Sunday at 8:30 pm Pacific. Live access to ESPN2 is also available on digital platforms via WatchESPN.
This year's International, happening at a sold out KeyArena in Seattle, WA this Friday thru Monday (July 18-22), features a record-breaking prize pool of over $10 mil - the largest ever for a competitive gaming tournament. And for the first time, viewers can watch all the matches, interviews, and analysis happening over the course of the four-day event on ESPN3, accessible online at WatchESPN.com, on smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app, and streamed on televisions through Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
On Sunday, viewers can tune in to ESPN2 for an exclusive preview of the tournament's final match, featuring highlights from the games, expert analysis, plus interviews with the players and Valve's Gabe Newell.
"From the success of the Compendium to the collaboration with ESPN, this year's International really demonstrates how much competitive gaming has grown to rival traditional sports," said Erik Johnson of Valve. "We believe the teams have also pushed to a new level of play this year and will further demonstrate the incredible advances made across this tournament since it first began three short years ago."
The International was first held in Cologne, Germany during the 2011 Gamescom with 16 of the best Dota 2 teams in the world competing for a grand prize of $1 million.
In 2013 the prize pool was bolstered beyond Valve's contribution by Dota 2 player participation in the Interactive Compendium, driving the total prize pool to over $2.8 million, up from $1.6 million.
This year the Compendium has driven the prize pool over $10 million.
Dota 2 is a free-to-play, online action strategy game created by Valve (Bellevue, WA based makers of multiple game franchises and the leading online distribution platform, Steam).

Fun discussion i had with a friend, is any hero viable mid? I said yes, he said no, for example omni wouldnt be good mid. What do you guys think? Imo any hero is pretty much viable mid, as omni that early level 4 heal nuke is incredibly strong, not only for damage but sustain in lane aswell. Also repel just stops all ganks, and against most magic based ranged heroes that just stops them from killing you completely.
One could say Chen would be bad, but get a harpy or wildkin from jungle and enjoy harassing the other mid, with max pure damage nuke aswell. Harpy itself would kill any opposition.
Wisp is pretty good mid, early relocate is really strong and before that the spirits actually deal a good amount of damage.
Chen would only really be viable in radiant mid with access to the one camp right next to the tower, dire creep camps are too far away from mid for him to grab a creep and get back to lane without losing last hits or xp. even then its risky, get mud golems get wrekd.
The rest is played.. 'tomorrow'?
Seriously who the hell came up with the format for this TI? Revealing one finalist and guaranteed 3rd place on first day, and now this..
I want to know who is behind it! <>
dat lgd comeback O.o
That was really amazing, indeed. But DK really made some great mistake there giving LGD time to prepare for the comeback. Was it 15k or 20k difference at some time?Thats not really true about EG vs NewB. If you can remember at The Summit DK won against EG and they were the first finalist, however EG won against VG in the lower bracket and after this in the final they defeated DK 3:2. I think if they make it to the final with coach like Fear, who to show them theyr mistakes, they can win against NewB.
Currently I'd like to see EG in the finals however it would be NewB vs EG again then and NewB is clearly better... but by seeing how LGD played yesterday, they surely got a chance to advance. I still hope for Cloud 9 to beat VG though and advance as I want some European team in the finals as well.
Yawn, this TI is a letdown with the china spam
That DK draft :D first pick Titan and lion its a shame they banned out anti mage ^^
plus get used to it
I don't get the China hate tbh, Newbee plays exciting attacking dota, not every Chinese game is 60+ mins and they moved far from playing it safe to exciting picks and experimenting, think todays final will be boss tbh :mrgreen:
plus get used to it, this is their century in every possible way, Red Dragon awakens :wink: :mrgreen:
10 MINUTE EDIT!
I can only presume it was some racist shit! :mrgreen: admit and repent now or suffer the consequences forever!
probably will glimpse at the finals but not watch it, the china dota is fuckass boring
i wasnt playing yet when TI3 was going on but ive seen most of the youtube videos. The final was exciting and you didnt know who was going to win that last match and the tension was high untill the S4 coil. first game had little to no tension or excitement really. I hope it picks up
VG like wtf. lose fight try to push a tower and lose a fight. lose another fight try to push a tower lose again :shock:
Feed gaming all grand final games won pretty much under 20 mins :evil: and call GG with towers still up i mean its not like its the GRAND FINAL or anything
Hope Icefrog saves us and nerfs or rebalances this meta because it's piss poor to watch really.

Ha, it was so not worth going to that pubstomp in Cologne. Last game ended at 23... such a joke, 3-1 and no game lasts longer than 30mins... gosh, never a chn vs chn final again, even tho newbee played nicely, such a small hero pool is quite annoying. I wish western teams get better for next year and we'll have some games with late game in the finals...
Let me tell you one thing about a pubstomp, stupid people are clapping whenever something "great" happens, so annyoing... clapping at a screen! XD
It's funny how people used to complain about Chinese ricing gameplay because it was nothing but farming for 80 minutes, now it's a bad thing that games end in twenty minutes.

Funny or not, they are boring to watch either way.Welcome to Dota.
i like the part where they tp 1 by 1 into the tower push to die :p Tbh its more the fact that 1 lane of rax was taken in total for the grand final i mean wtf is that. Even if i had 1% chance of winning the match id fight till they took the throne in the final :shock:

A game should take at least 40-45 minutes. 50-60 is rather perfect, that means that 1,2,3 have 1-4 good items and 2 semi good items, supports 1 good item, that allows some nice fights. With everyone 6 slots the game just has 1 final fight, then its usually over because creeps and towers are usually too fucking weak and go down too quickly.
If they only need some seconds to take down a t4 tower theres something really wrong. Towers are too weak in general. In dota1 there was an easy mode and a normal mode. dota2 feels like easy mode anyway, weak towers and high gold income. Some patches are really needed. :)
And I surely prefer a 60min game with 20mins extra farming over a 20min game where people rush and 1 side absolutely gets crushed and has no chance at all, because they either suck or fail by heavy mistakes (or picks).
so whenever someone wants to gieb me dat beautiful Soul Diffuser for my Spectre, my favorite character as of right now, i will loov u forevs. I am just blown away at how expensive that lil thing is!
It costs less than a bag of candy, if a bag of candy gives you fulfillment in the same way that the Soul Diffuser does then you should purchase it.i think a lot of people can agree with me that there is just something odd about spending money on something that is not even real, idk, to me its just weird to spend 5 dollars on something so fucking minor!

Anyway it's a few beers money, Or just sell one of your guns amigo. :mrgreen:
wtf 4€
I bought mine from the market for 1,40€ just when it was released. I must've been lucky as hell. It was inscribed but I removed it with my hammer that I had since start of dota
ya idk, maybe im weird, but i could see pissing away like 2 dollars, but the fact that the price just keeps goin up on it, its near 6 dollars at this time. That and idk what the difference really is in these colors, like why is one red, the other white? Why the hell is the orange one cheaper then the white one, which is common? i get the rarity shit, but how is common more expensive then the rarer one? or how so is the green one different from the orange on? also, who the hell inscribed them with dumbshit like how many couriers you bought on a fucking carry, i dont get it.
too bad Dota has the worst community I have ever encountered
He needs a meaner model to carry harder.
A voice fix would help him too. Don't want to attack the voiceactor that did the job but he sounds too similar in most of his work. AM, Warlock, Slardar, Necro
Hell you can almost have a full team made up of one voice-actor, with the same voice.
Nvm forgot Beastmaster, that makes it five.
wow what a gay team to fight :D naga pudge riki and TB. Bet that was an annoying match
up to 2500 mmr. Im 150 away from being 1k higher then i started the dream to reach trash tier is real! I do love playing Wraith king with blade mail radiance into maelstrom/AC if game isnt over. Just confuses pub players, you jump in they take tons of radiance burn and blade mail damage + my attacks to kill me then i respawn to do it again meanwhile most have used nukes on me so my team cleans up (even more fun when batrider grabs you and drags you to his team so they all get slowed and burnt
Sigh, they yelled at me for Refresher WK as well because "you don't have mana to use it"
Ignore them.
i was away for 10 days and i cant play this game for shit
Just played a game where I randomed Lina, then got 2 items at the end of the game that are both for Lina and from the same set. What are the chances :D
Easy party ranked points for playing carry with 2,5k mmr scrub stack.

2 on top feed bristle 15 kills in 10 minutes, check that fucking xp ratio(he GTXed at 50 mins after getting rekt hard when he tried to solo our highground few times).
btw i am the void, first game with that cunt.
easy party ranked points but one hour and six minutes game? hm
It's like that Treant fail all over again
easy party ranked points but one hour and six minutes game? hmeasy sarcastically, i pretty much won the game myself, that is why its "easy"
PL has a lot more hero damage and way more than double the tower damage so looks like PL is the real herro
But riki's family is dead.

Beastmaster is boring on every side. LD is a good hero to start with microing, make sure you build items for the bear and not for the druid (except boots). Also bear can UAM for a few patches now, some guides don't include that.
Man had a wonderful game with Spectre (in offlane at that) but the dota networks decided to be gay and cancelled the game. I was going for the radiance > diffusal > refresher build for fun - maxing desolate till 6 then ult - holy shit maxed desolate is incredible in early game, i was taking like ~20% off supports health with each hit
my favorite character so far.

he did a nice stream yesterday where he became upset because he was losing and decided to tryhard, so much better than watching him random and play like a moron
And then instead of being entertaining and funny, he just lost without being entertaining and ragequ!t, stream went shit.
could be worse :D http://dotabuff.com/matches/811336706 (got fountain farmed a bit) gonna give up for the night :D game gave me retards two games in a row. had wd and zues go top lane and get crushed. zues 0 kills 11 deaths WD doesnt buy wards or courier and when he does he places two wards top right next to each other... left me in jungle with no vision vs bounty annnnd at the end they were both TBD. gonna get themselves calibrated at 1k im sure
we had a fun game yesterday

so i love tusk and if im allowed farm ive been going phase shadow blade drums into whatever maybe a deso but sometimes i get forced into support tusk with nowhere to farm. Im stuck on what kind of items to go for due to being a str hero. Mana boots mek and drums sure if no one else is buying but what after that? should i got for str items like halberd or the usual orchid/sythe?
Depends what you want to do with him. Halberd, Mek, Drums = support. Shadowblade, Deso, MKB, Basher = ganker.
Yeah that is very enemy dependant also. If you get PA or something like that, MKB is the shit.
MKB provides that damage, the True Strike on it doesn't really matter for ganking since your ult cannot miss.

I didn't even bother switching out players on the league :P
So I went to the GamesCom in Cologne today. Was anyone there? Sadly there was no Dota2 as far as I could see, however there was a Valve shop selling all the stuff they're actually selling during the TI as well.
Bought these 2 for 25€::)(click to show/hide)

Ahahaha for real? :mrgreen:
Shivering.
Casually spectating a game while waiting for people and then i notice something is off with the void..(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)
Later on he doesnt upgrade crystalys, but buys casual hyperstone and then shadowblade, and farms jungle while team pushes rax. I guess the model fits him.
Lol by far most stupid game I played, Yolo charges were frequent. Anyway void isn't exactly strong in the lane and all that's required is a constant harassment, skywrath and silencer excels in that. My score with void is like 16% winrate because basically each time I pick him I get countered in lane, hard.
Any carry can be countered with constant harassment.
4 wins in a row, so volvo decides no more, gives invoker picker and tinker ancients. Game is hard..
can't exactly say the same

She's 3-4k because she plays with admiral bulldog and other guys who carry her. She has annoying voice, shes ugly even for dutch, so I really don't get the fuzz.
She has a vagina...

I am so sorry I didn't start to play this game earlier because I am probably never escaping low mmr hell, getting a decent one is impossible atm and low mmr is just hell to play, I enjoy every 1 in 5 games maybeee, such shame, I like this game allot.
yeah... there is no mmr hell
so people in higher mmr are on the same level of retardation? don't kill my dreams pls
There's retards in every mmr, if you're better than the trench you'll (albeit slowly) rise out of it. I guess Osiris is a good example.
This was the one stretch goal i got hyped for in the TI4 compendium. Finally it arrives and its better than i couldve expected *kreygasm*

holy fucking shit what a cancerous game dota2 is, i just had like 3 people on my team complaining the entire game even though we were winning, AA was arguing with Eartshaker for like the entire early game even though they got a first blood/double kill on the offlane, morph was crying "no wards noobs" for literally 20 minutes nonstop even though there were 3 wards in our jungle to secure farm and he had good farm anyway, people on team calling gg even though we had fucking spectre with great farm, holy shit
look at this

Same gif that was posted 7 posts ago :idea:
Both games of mine the techies were on the other team and played like crap. A few laughable moments but ultimately utter shite and we steamrolled both.
So far not particularly bothered about them.
He is off to a good start :D first 5k games and lower win rate than ES. Lets see if it picks up
Haha maybe. But he seems fairly predictable and too defensive for my liking. Might work with some organisation. But with pub matches I think less so.
He's predictable if you play him predictably, its all mind games if you roam him. Had a guy do suicide and stasis mine build, very viable actually.
Losing every game vs techies, op hero. Or maybe its just because of my team picking pudge and feeding.
Yeah we just had this game:http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/863952436 xp graph, I'm PA
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/876683562
That xp graph lol. We were behind the entire game and defending base for almost 40 mins. Ended up killing them all and rushing mid.
Ball of dooooom
Hey, got into dota again recently, rekking some nubs.
I don't know if this thread is about playing together or parody montages (which are awesome btw), but add Hugtand on steam if ya'll wanna play

One more thing: we on the Dota 2 team have a number of updates in the works right now that we’re really excited about, some for the rest of this year, and a big update for early next year. But we’re pretty sure we won’t be able to make enough progress on the larger update if we put it down to work on Diretide – so we’ve decided that we’re not going to ship a Diretide event this year. We know that last year we weren’t clear enough in our communication about this, so this year we wanted to be up front about it early. Next year will bring monumental changes to Dota 2, and we’re confident that when you’ve seen what we’ve been working on, you’ll agree it was worth it.
Expect to see bottle in lane a lot more. If there are 2 runes to bottle every 2 mins, either both mids will cancel each other out of the off lanes are going to have to start playing for the runes as well. That or roaming will become more of a thing now as runes will be more contested. If you can dominate control of both runes it'll mean a much easier early game/spiral.
Also tower gold bounty reduced. I guess that will emphasise the importance of bounty runes instead.
no pubscrub games aren't official games.
Are bounty runes even bottleable (is that a word even)?
I tried it, its very good. Comeback mechanics are real. Mistakes=Punished big time.
I've heard from Wagamama that games take way longer now (I <3 late game) and I've played 2 games myself which lasted over 50 minutes each. It was good.
Games getting longer again?
People will bash chino doto once again next TI, but for entirely different reasons
:lol:
BKB is a crutch. Learning not to build it every single time will improve your positioning in teamfights and awereness.

Learning to build it is harder, everyone skips it for some reason.
i just want to put it out there that Tinker is so gay, just played a pub game where the guy was using boots of travel, blinking, using that laser shit, a dagon, then rearming and doing it again. He was like 1 shotting every fucking person with that gay ass shit.
Hard enough to play with 3 mexicans on your team that arent cooperating let alone someone who is shitting on all of them in one shot.
Well, he was much worse to deal with pre 6.82
I like linkens on WR. Just adds a bit extra protection which can often be needed. I'm not a fan of maelstrom on her but I do like force staff. MKB is another item I like getting on her as well. Helps her a lot when pushing base/against certain carries.
Orchid is a good choice and usually works both on a support and carry WR.
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/954115521
ive played against Tinkers before, but never one that was that good. Though i dont have very many hours into the game, and ive only ever done pub matches, i just didnt really understand how to stop him.

How do counter rat
I randomly clicked this one: http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/964737740
Lich doesn't even have two legs let alone enough for 4 boots.
You can only have six-slots on a hero though. The build probably works on Sand King or Nyx.
A boot is a pair. Implying two boots. Four pairs a boots is eight boots total. Spiders have eight legs. Learn your arthropods you dweeb.
Whats the meta nowdays on kunkka, i remember switching from sb to dagger in my builds but still rocking 2 dedalus maybe rapier later for glass cannon x mark on myself dagger crit shots. Also, i always went mid.
Never really liked battlefury, whats the benefits of going battlefury - dedalus instead of just 2 deadalus. I mean, i get my regen from rune controll anyway
Yes, but you get all that from dedalus too + higher dmg and crit chance. Dunno just doesent seem worth one less deda, ill try it tho and see what happens
Are you guys all high ranked (above 3~4k)?
My solo rank started from 2.3k and I can't improve it, in fact I'm decreasing it :'( On Steam forums I read one suggestion which says the only way of improving solo rank is go super solo hard carry and don't rely on your team mates. Do you guys agree or have any other advice?
I think you never had any game experience in lower brackets recently. It's quite possible that you can alone be better than rest of your team. Anyway, good advice Vibe but they are for Dota in general (which is also important).
Lower bracket matches have quite unique modifiers such as: no one plays support, if one play supports no one pays attention to what wards show, almost no successful rotations or no rotations at all, when a carry fails starts blaming other two lanes, more rage quitting/whining in general :D
Guess I'll keep playing with friends. At least in a party, we can beat 3k to 4k guys.
The point was, there is no special trick to coming out of your bracket, you just need to get better (at everything related to Dota). If you are getting better, your MMR will rise, albeit slowly. A typical excuse of "being stuck at certain MMR because team is always bad" is a load of horseshit. The sooner you get out of that mentality, the faster you'll improve.
I should have learnt by now to just quit before the game starts when a techies is on my team :( fking useless players

That lessens some when you climb a bit.
The privileged college kids can be equally as bad though.
i get russians from time to time, but 99% of my games are Luis from Peru, or Juan from Bolivia, or Rodriguez and his brother Gonzales from Uruguay deep in the fucking jungles with 350ping, and of course none of them speak any english, they constantly type "meirda" and "jajaja" in chat, or "ez". Like i said, i would give them money, literally a bucket of money to region lock it.
They just opened up 2, TWO, two fucking new servers in South America, yet they dont even use them. Im just so perplexed, so puzzled as to why i still have to deal with them.

All hero challenge complete!
conclusion:
i love Bane, Phoenix, Spectre, Medusa, Disruptor, Nyx Assassin, Clinkz, Centaur WarRunner, Undying, BroodMother, and Nightstalker.
I will never do it again, though the experience of every player and learning how they function helped a lot. Its time to move on to ranked matches, and get out of the Mexican trenches that are my current games. Also wow, 5 all hero challenges to get the next statue, fook dat.
Gratz, finished mine last week. How long did it take you, it took 188 for me. Visage, Brood and techies were an awful experience. Brood got nerfed, took time to adjust. Will not do 5 chalenges
Winning with techies depends so much on your teammates...
Warned team i'm going to give him a try if they don't have any big counters to it. They don't. I pick techies. Team picks BH and Potm. Ennemy team buys gem, thanks to mirana failing all her arrows. gg.
Another game, goes into the 70min + mark. Ennemy team has 5 carry, we have one alchimist with no bkb. So fed up of this hero that doesn't have a clear impact but rely on luck (i hope they'll go this way...)
Make use of smokes to avoid wards, bait enemies, farm lanes for early aghas and euls to become good teamfighter and make good use of suicide when its off cooldown. Luck can be manipulated kind of. In the end the hero is very niche and strange, but can be a really strong nuker.

Zombies are ez.
In my opinion, tombstone is one of the best early game abilities. Sooooooooo easy to get kills. If you've stolen enough strength, you can just chase people down as they are being slowed by the walking dead,and just hammer them with all the damage you do,and if need be you can nuke them down with your q and w.
I don't know why I play more Undying.

If the enemy team doesn't have significant ranged and a way of taking down the mines before reaching your base it's great.
Any super farmed team that isn't brainless will have either :
-a ranged hero and a tank with gem
-a necronomicon 3, to scout out and push that tier3 tower
-an agility hero with a manta style
Even by picking techies after making sure the ennemy team doesn't have an enigma/nature's prophet/lycan/naga siren just to counter my early bombs (not even speaking of special heroes to obliterate me, such as BH or Nyx), my own team forces 4v5 fights in peculiar places, and then blame the techies for not being there. I'm so fed up of playing this hero with randomers... there's just no fun.
Played a long game vs sniper previously, damn his scatter rain is a pain, and always misjudging where he'll stand to attack our towers. He was probably a good player, but i added sniper on my not-to-play-with-techies-against list.

"Just started playing dota"
And you expect him to be at your level? Get real. We all had to start somewhere. Some learn it quicker than others, some don't. Dota has GIANT learning curve, and it takes time and practice to be able to learn it, let alone master it. You can't give someone a hard time, especially your friend, if they just starting playing.
i never said he just started playing dota, that isnt even a quote from my statement, i said he played dota with me, he actually started playing the same day as me, so my expectation that he can play well comes from the fact that he has as much time as me, yet fails to actually do well.

Who do you nerds think is one of the most op/broken heroes in the current roster?
This is a straight forward curiosity I have as well as me raging because FUCK THIS MINGY TWAT PHANTOM ASSASSIN.
I don't know if it's just rngesus not being on my side or what, but every time (every fucking game now it seems like, she's #1 played hero atm) I play against her, she seems to always 1-2 shot me because of cyka crit rolls.
How about you tell them WHAT they're doing wrong and WHAT they should be doing in place of it, instead of outright telling them they suck at Dota, which will achieve nothing? Everyone sucks compared to someone who is more experienced/better.
I started playing Dota 2 a long time after my friends had been nerding it out in WC3. I started playing HoN with them for a while then we headed over to Dota 2. It helps a lot telling your friends about tactics / hero play styles and the likes, instead of just raging at them.
Now that me and my friends are on a equal level it tends to get more rage related though :P
This game they blamed it on the juggernaut, it was his fault he was split pushing and not teamfighting, which caused them to be caught out and killed in unbalanced teamfights.(they are the shadow shaman and Sand King)

make them play with rufio :D he will rant at them enough ^^
and proceed to make the same mistakes he's flaming them for
dota community in a nutshell tbh. Feed, spectate teammate, flame slightest mistake to feel superior.
thing is, you can only tell them so much, i cant constantly be looking at their character, or playing over their shoulder, its already bad enough i have to constantly direct him. Its just to that point where its almost better i coach the guy, which is laughable. Getting caught out, or ganked is all on him when you say there are 3-4 people missing on a map. Its so many different factors that arent being grasped which seem rather basic, and when not done are so detrimental.
I havent outright told him anything, i try and be nice and give advice, but its like a lost cause everytime i play, so sad.
I think im just goin to start doing ranked matches, and leave it at that. Once the mmr gap is there, he'll notice it himself.

Huskarr might be in the top tiers close to op in this patch, its not been well discovered yet though fortunately so dont see him a lot.
How new are they, because it sounds like they're very new. If so, one would just direct them to written/video guides to learn some dota basics, instead of coaching them.
To elaborate, Ta just shits on every mid unless its veno or maybe viper. Dp has an insane ulti + euls. Panda, jesus christ Panda. Can be more suicidal than WK with an aoe slow + dmg + evasion + crit + ult holy shit. Void is void. Necro just shits on every usual offlane and is powerfull as fuck with dmg + heal support.

What a fucking ass cancer game, after 30 minutes it was sieging their base purely, hoping for 100 damage on a tower before the all arive with the strongest anti push shit in history. Pudge dealing 1k damage with eblade having like 250+ str stacked. AA nearly killing me with ult so i would be pushed out of the fight instantly. Slark being super strong early - mid game carry but not the best of late game so we had no real super carry. Just constant siege awaiting some misstep from one team to spark a fight. Finally one big clash towards the end with buybacks from pretty much every single hero but thank god we came out on top and could get megas and win.
As a support i could do literally nothign but ward, and sometimes not even that getting my intestines splattered over random minespots.
What's up with the Dota 2 drops? I used to get a drop every now and then when I started playing some months ago. Now I didn't get anything in weeks.
You get whole item sets now rather than one piece however the drops are rarer, so much rarer than they were and you don't get items for levelling either
would be nice if they would give item drops for performing well, or rather increased chances, and also not give them to the losing team. The friend i was playing with got a bunch of items for losing the game with 0-20..........makes sense, give it to the feeder.
Crazy game, really nice

Babushka time!
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Grable/inventory/#570
are you somehow earning/winning these, or buying them?
no one is spouting nonsense,
I haven't played in almost a month now because even though that one game comes around every once and a while where you actually feel like you're part of a coordinated team and no one is spouting nonsense, well, you know how it goes. I'll get back into again though once my gravekeeper's cloak for inane bullshit has recharged.
I'm also still not convinced with the building maelstrom on Windrunner. Aghanim's yes, but she already has a good BAT and with Orchid you can spam powershot for wave clearing, it's more expensive but the one/two oblivion staffs hold you over for a while.
just played an absolutely amazing game, though i found out, and im not sure if this is intended or not, but Phoenix's Fire spirits DoT ability can be reflected by blade mail, as the enemy Axe kept doing it. Kind of seems a bit stupid honestly that he can somehow reflect damage on me even though im neither touching him or attacking him. Thats like reflecting Viper' or veno's poison attacks back using blade mail.
Either way, he was killing me super fast as i was literally burning myself everytime i attacked him.
Sure its intended. Blademail reflects damage, any spell damage/dots are damage done by you.
that logically makes no sense, so does it reflect damage on heroes with poison as well?
im not even targeting the player, im targeting the ground, so does this include any and all AoE attacks for blade mail as well?
You can do this every game. Just mute everyone. That's the tip that ^^DragonFist^^ something something 7000 mmr is advising people to do, telling people how overrated communication is in pubs.
Must say muting all upon entering the match is a wonderful experience :mrgreen:
doesnt matter what you target, if you damage him you will get damage reflected back.
so answer my question, does viper, veno, and others with poison dot get effected by this as well? Does an AoE attack like Gyrocopters ulti get reflected back?
my attack isnt directly attacking him, its applying a debuff, like poison, i dont see how a debuff can be reflected.
Havent bothered looking in to it much, but i'd assume all poison dots would also reflect damage. Any damage gets reflected except another blademail.
well i guess its good to know, or rather assume to know, since neither of us directly know yet. But i still think thats kind of gay; could someone also tell me if aoe attacks still effect templar when she is invisible using her ability? I was shooting fire spirits at her, but i wasnt sure if they were actually harming her, and she didnt try running away until i ulti'ed on top of her, by then she started running away taking damage, but i wasnt sure if she was taking it while invis.
Started doing it recently and I must say it's trully a blessing.
that logically makes no sense
in dota you eat trees to get health

I build Maelstrom almost every time on Windrunner, confirmed legit. See with max attack speed it isn't that your attack speed is improved, it's that your Maelstrom is gonna proc like fuck and you're gonna be like Zeus on steroids, especially since patch i don't know which where they made it so that Maelstrom can proc however the fuck it wants, because before it could only proc when there wasn't a previous maelstrom lightning jumping around already.
I, erroneously probably, want to give people the benefit of the doubt before I just label everyone as someone I don't want to communicate with.
Treant empire !(click to show/hide)
Well, in order to reach that spot you need to get aghanims, and you shouldn't rush it because you need stuff like force staff/blink for your ultimate. I wouldn't mind playing tree as a position 4 though and grabbing a 20 minute aghanims

you know those days when you don't feel like fighting at all and prefer afk jungle/lane http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1138759066
I hate junglers, i feel like i lose 90% of the games theres a jungler in. Just aint worth it, too much afk. Rather have a roamer or something.
Slardar op, time to roam!
Wasn't in the sense that I was a jungler, but more in the sense that I was playing singleplayer ricing dota for 25 minutes. Extremelly relaxing I suggest you guys try it.

that ember spirit was 5.4K and I trashed him in lane, 12 min phase boots. Still can't win game because venge and mirana are afk in brain, help.
Is because storm > ember at start. :P Shud have killed him and snowballed like madman.
Now we only have to convince Putin, guys

I told a chinese player to open his eyes, and that he was a slant eyed chink motherfucker. Volvo doesent approve of my epic bantz.
So, who are the players with russian hieroglyph names then? Chinese kids? :mrgreen:
In one match I managed to pop BKB for nothing accidentally, Doom a jungle creep and use Refresher before I used Doom for the first time. Some days just aren't meant to be.
Hope we get a good TI this time, last one was so meh because of the push meta.
Also same shit picked over and over. About 1/10th of the hero pool was used most of the time.
Like it isn't now? Juggernaut, Axe, Lion every game.
It's strange after having not played for 3 months, poking my head in and instead of complaints about Void, Skywrath and Slark those are the meta characters now?
Maybe I'll come back again if Slark is off the radar again, I got into him right before he was a meta pick and it just made me not want to play him.
I haven't played in 3 months and was extremely tempted to yesterday but decided I didn't want to have a brain aneurysm.
Holy Babaev I have been losing so many matches lately. No matter how hard I carry, how hard I support (and sometimes end up out carrying the carries for whatever reason that happens), no matter how good of a start we have, I just always lose. I reallllly hate getting stuck with shitty people. Just with shitty attitudes, making stupid decisions, blaming it on others. Just been stuck with the worst of the worst lately. Makes me wanna cry. Such is dota. Just that I've won three out of my last 15 lol.

Had a 6 month break from dota, now I only play like 1 game a week, so smooth.
#1 picked is NATURES PROPHETDo you wake up every morning with a craving for cock in your mouth, vibe
Looking at your dota buff your #1 picked is NATURES PROPHET and 3rd Slark. How can you live with yourself?
gay ass bristle picker
start building damage if you want to carry
why do you build blademail on bristle lol
why is there no BKB vs a lineup of Pugna, Sand King, Disruptor and Sven
how do you even lose with bristle
BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE WEARING FOuR SUITS OF ARMOR. I NEEDED ALL OF THEM.
I was honestly gunna build bkb, but since my team was doing jack shit in fights or just anywhere, I said fuck it. Even with the survivability to live in teamfights with that, I can't solo the entire team. :D
Bristle has always been my boy. Didn't jump on the wagon like errrbody be doing now.
And you have the GALL to tell me my most played heroes, when yours' is $$Natures Profit$$? You dirty dirty rat you. Go be BullDong somewhere else.
Also that Secret vs VG game one though.
bro hating on natures prophet pickers is so ti3, now cancer is void, doom, bristle, lycan and such pickers
NP is one of those heroes that if you random him and keep him then you should get a size Tiny 3 ult boot up your ass, and if you pick him.. oh boy.
Not as smooth as your internet.
Since when has Void been cancer, what did they do to him?
I dont know if you safelane bristle, i always offlane anyways and just get pipe and crimson guard, suddenly not only you but your entire team is insanely tanky, and bristle is actually a really good hero to carry those items.
NP is one of those heroes that if you random him and keep him then you should get a size Tiny 3 ult boot up your ass, and if you pick him.. oh boy.

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1215126929
For those that live under a rock, EG won the DAC. VG performed pretty poorly in the finals imo and EG has seriously good drafting (the reason why Secret lost to EG as well, imo). Also that Sumail Storm Spirit comeback in last game, with big creds to Aui, PPD and Universe ults.
(Alliance fan ^^)
Must be fun to be an Alliance fan huh?
I was also rooting for VG, max disappoint they choked hard in the finals. I think their support duo is nice, iceiceice is a playa in any case, not so sure about their cores (Black and Super) though.
What is alliance now even? Loda and Akke + random swedes?

Didnt uninstall just yet, decided to do soloq, pick undying support. Completely destroy early game, 1 enemy GTXs and we have 3 carries, should be ez right? Fucking lost. Im done, this game is junk. Everyone builds so much mobility and shit we dont have ANY dps.
From undying to visage? you playin a dirty game
Visage is dirty? He's the absolute least picked hero currently.
i play core mainly but when you gotta play support you play support m8
thats only because people fear/suck at micro and if you pick visage you can guarantee 99% of matches will end up you being solo support and visage is not the best at solo supporting. He is a nightmare to face otherwise (3k scrub level thoughts)

It is written in the dota 2 game code that winstreaks will be rewarded after losing streaks.:^)
So yeah I tried coming back, but each attempt in ranked was a total disaster.
Can't believe I have lost like 700MMR so far, it just seems like nothing works.
Went from 3200 to 2600, awesome.
Now I know I'm fucking up and I don't really give a shit, it's just the fact that the game and the meta is so above me that I'm complete trash, rather than somewhat decent trash.
No idea what's going on, even 4v5 games or 99% won matches are falling out of my control and turn into defeat at the moment. ._.

So maybe thats some advice, not good, but, that pulled me from Peruvian hell tier to egotistical over privileged immature college child tier, which is equally as painful, because now i understand the complaining and it typically starts with youre all bad and suck dicks.
mentality will never change, people just get better so it's best to learn to ignore what people are saying and just focus on your own game. i got 86% winrate in solo queue from 3.5k to 4.5k but over a long timeperiod and i just pick comfort zone heroes as well and try my best to win. Leshrac, Slark, Storm, Bloodseeker, Undying are some of my most successful heroes i guess, filthy meta hero picker

Kuroky left team secret but Puppey stays :shock: So far it looked like that whatever team those 2 were in, that team ended up into top 3 teams in world.
Praise the Lord, our savior, Lord Gaben! For I hath wonneth 5 ranked games in a row. And played like 8, but those 3 I would have lost, but alas! Lord Gaben decided his servers should take a break, and no to record those matches! :lol:
yea not buying shit
A good change from queuing with rufio, with his fake high mmr account and losing 80% of the games.
someone call the fire department
trying to get back into this shit but lost 700 mmr already and nothing works if i pick carry nobody is with me in lane if i pick support my team doesn't carry hard enough
game sucks pls buff
joke aside i just cant get back into these new metas for some reason, nothing works i just cant win, and the teammates not helping me either, i just decide to abandon all these games because it is a waste of my time.
i have fallen way under 3k and am in low prio at the moment, lel.
kind of understandable, I have neglected this game the past two years and fallen behind.
not sure might decide to spam only one hero to bounce back.

Back in 2007-2008 Dr.Gonzo aka Richard Lewis said this to my teammate on good ol mIRC: "<GotFrag|Gonzo> we'll see how much you're laughing when a 6ft 16 stone welsh skinhead is holding you by the throat"
Richard Lewis (AKA Gonzo) has been known to have a temper in eSports for a long time, but my personal experience was at iSeries 46 (the biggest ongoing UK LAN). Please see statement below from Wizzo (admin at iSeries forums) from back in3 2012. He instigated a fight in the bar area at i46, resulting in the following post from Wizzo: Gonzo from Cadred is banned from our events due to his conduct at insomnia46. This isn't the first time we've have problems with his conduct. Source: https://forums.multiplay.com/archive/index.php/t-92971.html Just wanted to add some fuel to the fire, Have met him twice at iSeries before he was banned, used to get completely smashed and be a typical loud mouth aggressive reporter who ruled by the iron fist at Cadred a few years ago. Banning users and requesting apology essays before unbanning their accounts. No respect for the guy, anyway. Glad he's finally getting some negative press for his anger management problem. I also have PMs between me and him 3 years ago calling him out on his behaviour. Can post here if you guys want more gossip.. after all, 6.86 isn't here yet!

I just don't get it, why do Russians queue outside Russia servers and still EXPECT everyone else to speak Russian
Russian server is in sweden, russians dont want to play with other russians, they want better loading times, or just totally ignore that regions existI have selected three regions EU-East EU-West Russia and
These are the theories I most often hear.
I have selected three regions EU-East EU-West Russia and
Europe West 2,238 games
Europe East 509 games
Russia 405 games
so blame dotaserver

http://www.dotabuff.com/players/17532848
I find it hard to believe they have better ping on EU West than EU East and Russia, I think they just check all three servers and don't really care which they get on because there will always be one more cyka blyat moron on there too, they are just very ignorant and uneducated and simply don't give a fuck because "Russia Stronk!". I'd pay big bucks for region lock seriously, but they are not all bad at the game itself just flamers and really bad mannered, thank you Gaben for mute! Turks are far the worst skill wise, you don't run into them often but when you do you know trust me.

Don't understand why they want to make all these huge changes in a single patch.
Also when does the patch go live? Why is there no mention about that?

That's a lot of gold for items that do nothing to address her squishiness.
It's not that squishy but you need good positioning, it's a farm build where you can get 700-800 gpm and farm enemy heroes in team fights from a distance. Early stats depending on what ur up against. It also takes down towers, jungle/ancient stacks/roshan quick. Ignore teamates raging from ur items, mute/report them, dont let them distract you from farming. Once ur rich u can buy whatever items u need, vangard, bkb for survival.

Wow, the way Valve handles reports in Dota 2 is so fucking gay. Automated report system that puts you in LPQ if a couple of Russians have retarded ideas about how to play Dota? Sounds perfect.
You can lose a game if you take the time and actually decide to trashtalk, just shut the fuck up and play the game, only communicate if you're gonna say something that actually helps in the match.Yes, people don't realize that their trashtalking is the reason the game is lost 90% of the time
i wasn't talking bout swedes in general, but swedish kids who are spoiled as fuck (including me). They're the worst when they're playing with someone else and just constantly egging each other on. at least those have struck instances have struck out to me. swedes are pleasant as fuck generally in-game but maybe it's because i'm using a swedish name in-gameMaybe you just need to become better if swedish kids insult you
Worst part was the guy had a quelling blade and didn't use it.

always send report if someone starts a insult russians for no reason, because I know that in the next game he will get another one from another Russian and this report will take place ))
when I played regularly in the day came at 2-3 messages about successful report
err ya i wonder sometimes if i have some kind of autism too honestly fuck

o yea that's what u get, forgot about itDiffusal necro3 blink dagger bot + luxuries build is better tbh, but the divine rapier build is so fucking lame that it's funny.
Who even bothers to communicate with russian trash. Pick AM, mute all, farm safelane, ocassionally spam well played on chat wheel, Destroy them in game, write EZ katka, dc.You left out an important step, spam ping at the location your teammate dies and then use the chat wheel to say "well played!" at least four times.
ТИ5????? ТИ5????? РТЦ??????
ТИ5????? ТИ5????? РТЦ??????
well i tried getting back into this but just no, everything remade from scratch again so fuck that.
game always changes so dramatically, can't just get back into it.
thanks to this source 2 crap my loading times are way too long and every update makes it play shittier too.
they keep adding all this useless clutter on top of the game for milking purposes or whatever and mess up everything.
anyway one annoying issue since this reborn crap came out is that it broke my hero portraits.
the portraits move but there is no talking animation at all. tried all kinds of stuff and nothing fixes it, gj valve
yes? they talk if you turn on animate portrait.
i hear audio but their mouth is shut ever since reborn came out the idle animation only plays and that's it. weird and I can't find anything on how to fix it.

Even changing the setting for animated portrait doesn't work?
This sounds like an important problem
Ugh, Polskis can be even more annoying than russians I'd say.
Pizda kurwa kurwa kurwa pizda pizda idiot pizda kurwa kurwa kurwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
every 2 seconds. thank god for mute function
Solo queue is so fucked. I have never won a game when I get a 4 stack, it's always 100% cancer and they ruin the game by doing something retarded. Volvo should really bring back the old SQ.
5 games in a row with a 4stack, 5 losses :)))))))))))
They either pick 4 carries or 4 supports and try to do offlane crystal maiden carries rather than support someone else who has an actual carry, or insist on coming mid as well because idi naxuii if someone not in their 4 stack is mid or carry they will lose!!! Nevermind that by doing what they do they assure it's a loss. Oh and not to forget the fact that they never communicate in any way but expect you to read their mind. Good times, good times.
2k brackets must suck, rufio will join you soon though so thats cool.I wouldn't know about 2k brackets, but tell me, how are the 1k brackets? ))

i fuckin hate dota fuck u gravoth pissmy old friendget
Oh and not to forget the fact that they never communicate in any way but expect you to read their mind. Good times, good times.
but you can set that you are playing from DPRK North korea in your steam profile
The real annoying shit is when they lane together, get totally destroyed but refuse to rotate no matter what, they must play together so they die together. I was supporting on a different lane then, and got flamed for not being there for them as a 3rd.
Like yeah sure, I'll totally leave the safelane carry on his own just for those two idiots. we could have just swapped sides with one of them, but no "he is my friend"
So Alliance is back, eh boys? 2 consecutive lan wins in a row vs top teams in the world, with some pretty big payouts.
nah its normalAh ok thanks, I was pretty confused that Valve claims it's more than 99% of people get when it's not even that many, must be a bug like I thought

Wow, Beauchamp is LITERAL CANCER? So what you're saying is, kill Beauchamp, kill cancer?
Literally also means figuratively now actuallyYou literally think I don't know that?

Invoker and Legion commander.
Every. Fucking. Game.
Ugh.
Invoker and Legion commander.Legion jungling on your own team is a sure way to lose as LC farms for 25 minutes then flames because "team lost lanes"
Every. Fucking. Game.
Ugh.
having over 13 reports past 20 games is LITERAL CANCER, you are the 99%
and wut about the commends dude? :)
Kind of what Gravoth said. But then again you see this argument flying all the time from all positions.It doesn't work like that, "just win your lane." If your team has a passive core jungler, you've lost the game unless the enemy team is retarded. They can have a carry freefarming while your carry is being stopped from farming, it's like having two offlanes, i.e., at most just leeching XP. And when they have total map control they can easily move over to your team's jungle, and suddenly no one the team has farm, with the possible exception of mid, which is a 50-50.
Jungler says 'team lost lanes'
Safelane says 'jungler farming' or 'gg mid no gank'
Mid says 'safelane no farm'
Offlane.. i dont know what offlane says, usually they just die and think it's ok because it's offlane
etc
In short: just win your lane and don't depend on others in the early stage of the game. A lot has to do with picks as well. Picking a carry that can't fight early with a shitty lane support/harass and then crying to other lanes/positions with the previously mentioned chat lines makes my blood pressure go up.
Jungle Legion can work but you need to be active. Contest runes, try to help your safelane get a kill and don't go for fucking midas and farm for 30 minutes.
You should be punished for having a shitty attitude.
I mean, I talk hard shit all the time and I'm being annoying to specific cancerous players but I never get reported, let alone land in low prio. How fucking awful of a player attitude or skill wise do you have to be to get that many reports lolWell not everyone can be bothered to tryhard a lost game for the entire duration, equals lots of reports. Shit talking alone won't land you in low prio unless you're spamming or something
Well not everyone can be bothered to tryhard a lost game for the entire duration, equals lots of reports. Shit talking alone won't land you in low prio unless you're spamming or something
if game is lost you just go afk and don't even get reportedBut it takes longer that way than if you feed the enemy XP and gold
But it takes longer that way than if you feed the enemy XP and gold
Low prio's not so bad, got an almost 100% win rate in my LP Games, it doesn't really seem to take MMR or anything into account, just puts any LP people with any other LP people
didnt know it mixes people with different mmrI don't know if it does, but people in low prio just seem a lot shittier. And I guess it'd make sense, probably not enough people in low prio to match MMR with MMR.
thats probably why our warlock spammed i got 6200 mmr i win the game alone if you let me mid until he went 1:7 and dced :)
but people in low prio just seem a lot shittier
if game is lost you just go afk and don't even get reported

shanghai major just blew up, the drama is real guyswhy, what's up
valve fired a caster mid cast from the shanghai major is what i heard
other than that the quality of the majors is utter shit, hours long delays and crap production value pretty much
Positive attitude helps allot, it ain't easy though. Today our PA had 0-6, I asked him wtf man, his answer was sry, having a bad day... now initial reaction is feeder, noob, dc, l2dota, but instead I wrote, it's ok man, just farm up we got this, though he didn't turn the game by himself, he instead got some decent items, few kills and split pushed really well helping us win the game. Now this is a rare case of honesty but since I started using this non flaming mehtod and "we can do this" approach instead of toxicity my games have become waaaay more enjoyable. Ofc there are games when you play with autists and just afk because it's over by min 20 :mrgreen:
Shanghai also has 60hz monitors, don't know if they fixed it, but tons of pros were whining about it.
Edit: 2GD replaced by Sheever. wtf. How many dicks did she suck
It's what they already had there, it was kind of expected.
You're probably right, just that Sheever isn't very good at hosting.... Then again, the steam went down.
Yeah, sure, I can agree he's full of himself and takes more credit than he deserves.
The 60hz monitors got changed the next day.Yes, you can play football with the wrong size ball, but how fucking unprofessional is it to have a different size ball than what everyone's practiced with at the biggest football tournament of the year? Everyone wants to see the players play at their best, not handicapped by sudden changes. It's really hard to go back to 60hz after 120/144hz.
It's "not a big deal" :D I mean, you can play football (aka. soccer for americunts) with the wrong size ball. It's still a ball, it's round and you can kick it just fine :wink:
What I read about it was that it was more about the principle. They had just standardized the equipment for the tournaments, same specs everywhere and the players were involved in it a lot. And then the Chinese fuck that up.

Did you read his statement? If icefrog the man says be yourself you dont go against his wishes. He didnt really think he was the boss, he just did what he thought we, the audience of dota, would want to see, what we find entertaining so that the longs breaks are actually worth while sticking around for.
Its not about wanting to be cool or niche, its just what the general dota player enjoys. Everyone loves talking shit, its entertaining. Sure some jokes may seem inappropriate, but whatever. Everything outside of gaming/the internet is so damn PC now it gets frustratingly boring. If esports are to also take that route, i dont really see it appealing to much people in the future.
Waga seems to have been properly offended aswell https://twitter.com/WagaGaming/status/703153361168674817 its like the event managers are have no connection whatsoever to the actual event, they just look at it professionally.Reddit actually being a good read now(click to show/hide)

I'm just a few days away from my 1 year anniversary of no Dota 2. Feels good.
eh right now its just OD/Ench facerolling everything with right clicks, fun gameplay m8
Dota 2 is probably one of the leading contributors to early death, causing soaring blood pressure for millions. Worst game I've ever played 1/10
So the day came when I agree with Xantiphus on something, although my choice if words would be a little bit more.....harsh. Also it's quite strange you dislike it since its usually played by people like yourself and cmp: self-proclaimed "skilled, intelligent, etc" gamers.Are you... are you coming onto me?
