I throw many games, because my playstyle is aggression to the point of idiocy.
When I get teams that are equally as dive hungry and stupid aggressive, it usually ends with a 20 minute victory.

I believe theres a more grown up player-base on dota.
therefore more economical freedom since most of those are adults that have jobs or income instead of the usual kiddies who needs to ask mommy for her credit card to buy a monthly skin.
Thats not saying dota doesnt have any kiddies or poorfags though. not at all.

What if I told you that this game is still a mess of code hammered into itself and build upon a complete mesh of instable versions. Every patch that comes out breaks more shit than actually fixes it and every time now since 2014 there has been a 3-4 Hero FOTM trend that keeps cycling to make the game more casual friendly.

Valvo knows for a fact that they can leave the game for broken and dead for months on in that despite all crying, it will still be steam's #1 most played game, since the community is filled with literally shit eater shitlords.

They give zero response, they give zero shits about balance, zero shits about support, zero shits about actual improvement, zero shits about new content and zero shits about anything that isn't jewing kids out of their parent's credit cards.

This is why they can push eccentric and useless, despite really "cool", stuff into the market like the Steam VR, that probably costed both an unimaginable amount of money to produce that still even raw content, and the resources that a company like Valvo would probably never have unless they hadn't jewed over 60 million big ones with DOTA 2 tournaments.

Now just think if all the money that went into the whole VR shit had went allocated into fixing and improving DOTA 2. What kind of game would we have right now?

But instead, we have this, broken, mashed, hammered piece of shit, because yeah, no matter what, YOU SHITSTAINS WILL KEEP EATING VALVO'S SHIT BY THE SPOON AND LOVE IT.

Fucking end your sad existence, seriously.

Slacks is fucking disgusting.

Him being a headliner personality is a fucking stain to the game. His persona is abrasive as fuck, he's a funny-noise guy which would be fine if he actually good at it, and his whole deal is being loud, inflammatory, and saying awful things. He's not even fucking smart when he says outrageous offensive shit; it's dumb lowest-common-denominator crap.

I'm fine if you like that sort of shit; there is a place for that for that audience. But you don't give a dipshit like that a fucking OFFICIAL platform at the International. It's goddamn unprofessional the things that comes out of that man's mouth.

I'm sitting there at TI 2016 and this retard is there in an official capacity with zero improv skills and professional conduct. At absolutely no time were you convinced his schtick was an act; he is actually that horrible and for some fucking reason people love him for it. Fat jokes and racism - his repertoire is pathetic.

Now take a lesson from my advice if you want to play a really kickass CORE Jakiro:

CORE Jakiro is that you're basically going to push so HARD that the enemies shit will end up going up their own asses.

So take in mind that once the T1 towers are down it's time to 5 MAN DOTA the rest of the entire fucking game.

Go Safelane.

You start off with a ring of protection, two branches, some tangoes, a mana pot and you can even buy a ward.

Build a basi ring ASAP and get the fuckin' magic wand.

Rush some motherfuckin' mana boots and start to push down the safelane T1. DON'T STOP THE PUSH.

Get the fuckin' tower and rotate top. PUSH AGAIN and get that fucking tower. You should be able to purchase a Point Booster now.

Go fuckin' MID next with everyone and PUSH and fuckin' tower down as well. That will give you enough money for the Vitality Booster.

Dissemble your Mana boots and build that Core Booster now.
Farm for a bit now your Phase boots by using the Macropyre to kill the creep waves and keep them pushed.

Once you're like with 1k gold into your Mystic staff, get your fucking team together and PUSH AS 5 ONE LANE.

It doesn't matter which lane, just fucking PUSH and get a T2.

As soon as this is done, rotate immediately to the next T2. Getting these two T2's added with some fights along the way should get you your Octarine Core.

Once you have it, go Roshan with your team, secure that fuckin' Aegis and get the last T2. That should be a FREE Barracks as well.

Start building your motherfuckin' aghanism if you think the game will go longer or just rush a Aether Lens if you think it will finish fast.

After you get any of those done, the game should be over shortly.
If by some chance it isn't due to split-push shenanigans or whatever the FUK, just go Shiva's and KILL THE FUCKING GAME.

1st point into Dual Breath, max Liquid Fire, max Ice Path, finish Dual Breath on last. Always max the Ult.

So this is the power of EU Pubs...

250 mana 100% of the time

How are you liking this new patch?

Do you seriously believe it took them almost half a year of hard work to come up with these UI and HUD changes along with the map, talent tree and other shit that came with with 7.00 update?

Get a fucking clue already. After TI ended and they stuffed their pockets with over 70 million big ones, again, thanks to you idiots who supported them by buying their shit, they went off for at least a 1-2 month vacation on the Maldives and then started to production on more money-driven goals like the Fall Pass for, again, you losers to spend more money on.

Also by working maybe like 3 days a week and being lords to themselves, they literally don't give a shit or have to answer to anyone regarding deadlines.
Not to mention they even released the entire content with more bugs than the current version the game had been running in and they didn't gave a shit. They just kept tweaking it for a few days and now guess what, 2 week vacation because Christmas + New years!

They have been doing shit like this and will continue to do so because they know that at the end of the day, no matter the state of how bad things get, you morons will still throw money at them and keep on buying the shit they shit out of their asses like there's no tomorrow.

You want the game fixed? Too bad, up next in the agenda is the Chinese New Bloom event with the Juggernaut Arcana!

Be sure to have some money read on your Steam wallet, fellow gulagite redditor!
You have to support this game you love so much! Shoutouts to Valvo for making it happen!!!

This is the type of game you're playing now.

Reminder that rubick will win the arcana vote.
Reminder that with that arcana, every spell he steals will be green.

if we could just calm down a little.....

you'll never feel Enchantress' thick flank pressing up against you before she pins you to the wall, grinding her slavering doe cunt against your crotch as her moans grow in volume, almost reaching orgasm just from the sensation of her womanhood rubbing against the growing bulge in your jeans. Your pants are almost drenched in her secretions before you finally get them off, finally plunging into her sensual folds as she pants, begging for more. Her powerful hind legs do most of the work, thrusting against you again and again. The musky scent of her pheromones fills the air, arousing you further as her lust reaches an almost feral state. She screams, desperate for release, as your savage mating reaches a peak. Finally, she slams against you one last time, taking you to the hilt, your member touching her most intimate inner reaches. Her upper body tenses up, fully enraptured by orgasm, but her pussy clenches around your dick, rippling, as you, too, reach your apex. She milks every drop of cum out of your rod, for what seems like an eternity. Finally, you both collapse, exhausted. Covered in sweat, fluids, and smelling of bestial sex, she leans in to your ear and whispers, "Sproink!"

I have a confession to make. I dream every night about Mirana and Luna. You just know that they're passionate lovers that will do anything for each other. I imagine that Mirana is quiet and shy and Luna is fierce and outgoing, but in bed they always swap roles. Mirana is secretly the dominant partner, and Luna is a submissive slut. Every night I dream that Mirana ties Luna up tightly and uses one of her arrow heads to tear neat holes in her spandex. Then she forces Luna to take off her shoes with nothing but her mouth and worship her perfect feet, one in her mouth and the other rubbing Luna's pink pussy. Then she switches off and makes Luna taste her own juices while the other continues rubbing Luna into a pure ecstatic orgasm. Then Mirana flips Luna over and fucks her raw with a strap-on while Nova and Sagan fuck her in the mouth and booty-hole. Luna orgasms over and over and lets out screams and moans of joy, until everyone cums one last time in unison.

rupture counters AM

will it kill him every time? probably not but he's going to blink away from the teamfight and nearly die, so minus 1 AM for that
>aghs
yeah haha that always works when i steal rupture as rubick or buy a lotus orb to counter rupture! bloodseeker buying blademail is so uncommon just dont worry about it

You a reatded 1k player if u think rupture is a good spell, if ur whole argument is that am will get ganked by multiple heroes then whether there is a bs in the licture shouldnt matter, am can we solo vs bs then out dsrm the enemy carry and the entire enemy team if played right, bs is a honeypot 1k stomper

Problem is teens being teens don't really have a lot of disposable income, and really are only good for inflating numbers which is probably why Riot flaunts around its multi-million playerbase like its the best thing in the world, because its literally all they have going for them.

Another argument I'd make is that dota's appearance customization is generally just a lot more well-built.

As such, there's plenty more incentive for people to buy sets than in league.

>>182366075
Can you stop saying "literally" please, or at least go to reddit in order to say it?

What should bloodseeker do when he ruptures AM? AM still wins in a 1 on 1 manfight. AM will stand there until rupture wears off. Bloodseeker won't be able to do much about it.

Oh OK so you're moving goal posts then?

I asked you what bloodseeker plans to do to AM after rupturing him, you have no reply other than "WULL TEAMMATES THO" to which I reply "WULL AM'S TEAMMATES THO." This can go infinitely, but in the end you have no reply for my basic challenge. If you can't answer "what can bloodseeker do in a normal game after hitting rupture," which is a basic question, then to what extent can you describe bloodseeker as a "counter" to AM? It doesn't seem like a great counter imo if you can't even answer "what is the basic follow up"

you still havent answered that other than just tp out bro or just get items bro completely disregarding that at its core rupture counters mobility

>>182366368
I'll lose it if Planet Numale still ends up at TI7

>>182367194
If bloodsyka solo ganks am while am is fsrming tping out is the counter, am doesnt even waste much time between that and getting back into full ricing mode
Then you responded with "b-but what if its a tram fight bro!"
Am doesnt team fight until he is loaded on items at which point rupture is either countered or a tickle

>playing with mage
LMAO

post tunes for grinding mmr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3dVKbFZLDU

>>182367358
the threat of fighting into rupture early is enough to maintain that it is a counter to am

why would you build items to counter a spell if it isnt a counter to your hero in the first place?

>>182367569
What threat, am is ricing early not team fighting, the threat i see is that bs comes to gank am while he is still in ricing mode. I think i should stop responding to a 1k shitter

>>182367569
Antimage does not fight without having at least a few 4k+ items.
The strength of antimage is that he has a time window where he is insanely dominant to the point of being able to play 1 on 5. An AM player who doesn't fully play around this timing window should not be considered the norm.

Why are sing and gorc playing with mage and bamboe?

>Planet Odd didn't make it to TI7

>>182367720
>>182367861
>huuuuurrr am will jsut farm bro no worries
>btw ill admit am is counted by early game but when you try and tell me that bs early game is a threat ill just ignore it
im done here

>>182367569
yeah because antimage is such a big early fighter.

it's paramount to discourage him from fighting early if you want to counter him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>182368007
You don't get it do you?
Early game, AM teleports away.
Late midgame it just does nothing to AM.

>>182368007
Lol.

>>182368079
and when you are pushing down am's t3 when he is still working on his second item what does he do about rupture then retard

>>182355863
SHIT
MOUTH

>>182368428
this is the sort of thing a draft with AM in it has to prevent.

>>182368513
THEN WHY CANT YOU JUST ADMIT RUPTURE IS A COUNTER

friendly reminder that if a hero needs to counter-draft, counter-itemize and counter-play an ability, that ability is not a counter

>>182368558
No, knocking down the T3 when antimage is on a battlefury and a vanguard or whatever is the counter. The true counter to Antimage is a style of play, not a specific hero or ability.
How you actually threaten the AM at that stage of the game where you force him to fight while underitemized is irrelevant.
The important part is that you managed to pick a fight the AM has to join while he's not ready.

Are timing attacks a concept that doesn't exist to people playing dota?

>>182381737
You can still do atos, just, I know it sounds hard, don't buy the null at the start.
Get double Circlet and branches, builds into bracers easily enough.
Blink is obviously the best mobility you could buy, force is ok, but since you don't really care about pike, I wouldn't bother unless I can't get 2k gold together, and at that point you have bigger issues to worry about.
Eul's is obviously the worst on the pure mobility aspect, but it's another disable.

Yeah try 3 maybe. He's a core with a snowballing mechanic and he farms and pushes like shit.

Why is Furion so bad at the moment? Or at least, why are his winrates universally bad at all brackets

I am simple man. I pick Centaur. I land good stuns and hope for the best. Maybe I reach 6k this way, one day.

>>182386940
Most people pick him because they got cucked out of a lane and want to jungle, which is almost immediately gamelosing.

Explain yourselves Dotards.

Can someone tell me the actual difference between offlane and safelane and why people designate heroes to specifically go to either or.

dota has big updates on thursdays, and IT III and SB act 2 are both coming next thursday

>>182387868
yes

>>182387868
on a basic level, you send heroes you don't need a lot of levels, but need a lot of farm to the safelane. They will have supports with them, most of the time, to facilitate them farming.

The offlane is kinda more versatile. sometimes you send a hero that just needs levels, because it's a solo lane you will get exp faster than being with your supports. With these levels offlanes will then go do shit with their team on playmaking heroes like Faceless void, earthshaker, clockwerk ect.

Sometimes you send a specific hero to the offlane if the enemy safelaner doesn't have supports to protect them. Here you will send a hero that can win the lane 1v1 and snowball a win out of the enemy carry having little farm.

Sometimes this same objective is achieved through dual or tri lanes by sending the supports and 1 core to the offlane.

Sometimes you send a hero to the offlane to get some levels at first, but will then transition to either another lane or to the jungle to get farm. So heroes like Legion commander, Dark seer, tide hunter ect. These heroes usually want items to do shit as well as levels. OR need early levels to be able to farm efficiently, like tide farming ancient stacks.

>>182387495
Someone wanna clue me in?

>>182387868
safelane = carries
offlane = heroes that can play 2v1 and are fine with getting no farm

>>182388446
shut the fuck up

>>182387868
Safelane has an easier time to guarantee farm against most teams, this is crucially because lane control is much easier, and this is due to the ease of pulling the creeps (either the easy camp or the hard camp) to help control the lane to be almost under the safelane tower, making it unsafe for the offlaner to contest for farm (normally). This attribute is specific only to the safelanes on each side. Hence there are specific heroes that excel in these difficult scenarios, usually heroes that are tanky and annoying in their own right like Centaur, Clockwerk and Axe, or they have some sort of escape, like Void and Puck, or they have an ability to farm the jungle and then occasionally go to the offlane to collect XP and gold that slips through, like Beastmaster and Nature's Prophet. Most offlaners (there are some exceptions included in the ones I mentioned already) also function well with the little farm they manage to get out of the offlane, like most traditional offlaners usually need only a Blink to start having an impact on the game.

Though to be fair, the difference between the safelane and offlane is not as significant in the lower brackets, in which a dual offlane can easily contest and outfarm a dual safelane, which is usually what happens.

>>182388446

>>182388446
And those differences arise from where the creeps meet in the two lanes

Creeps in the safe lane meet closer to your tower hence safe lane

Also. Sups should ideally not be sapping Xp too much but focus on pulling and letting the carry have levels

now write same autist tier essay on what the fuck do i do or who the fuck do i pick if im offlaner against impossible lane to play against

>>182388802
Enigma and Dark Seer, they cuck 90% of carries, supports cant deal with them. Worst case you can farm jungle easy.

Man coffee fucks me up so bad. I get a nice feeling from it but become lazy as fuck. Also makes my thinking hazy.

>>182388802
tell your supports not to even bother going to the offlane and pick

>>182388802
You need to have a brain to play an offlane though, maybe you're better suited to carry or position 5 support
