If it is 3/4/5 carries, mute the team. Buy wards and counter wards win off of map vision. People are inherently bad but if they make it to the late game with carries you got a shot.
If its a team of supports buy necrobooks and midas split push to victory. Muting is optional. Warding is optional.

I've been browsing 4chan since I was 16 back in 07.
Recently I've started browsing Reddit, it's not all that bad family. It's a nice information congregation site. I feel like I learn more just by browsing the front page of reddit now. Finding relevant information on 4chan is more difficult.

How do I find othe people to play with. Only 12 games under my belt and I put up a decent game with tidehunter. Are there any active groups on steam? I can only find ones that have empty chat rooms.. I tried adding two pubs to my party after we won a game together but they were really bad and we lost the game after
>below CS:GO
lmao this game is dead as FUCK
Reminder that if EG loses to Vega they are out of the tournament. Their lower bracket match will be Alliance who shall sweep the whole thing.

>>122389991
>12 games
no one is going to want to play with you until you have logged at least 100 hours into dota and if they do you should avoid them because they are clearly fucking terrible
you will probably quit the game soon anyway like most new players these days

>>122390336
no you keep chewing though pubs until you actually have a base idea on how to play the game instead of having 3 last hits at minute 10 while auto attacking creeps in lane like you probably do now
>>122385863
is it ok that i am attracted to gondar's feet, anon?
>>122390195
it's very casual, the worst part is not having access to all the heroes which is fucking stupid
>>122390195
I've heard it's sorta fun but only if played with a stack
>>122390336
stacking when you are so new will teach you really bad habits that are hard to break later like expecting your team to speak english or having to communicate to win a game instead of throwing 4 shitters on your back
>>122390336
You probably think you're hot shit and better than everyone else but in truth your fucking horrible
Don't worry its all part of the learning process
Also if you don't acclimate yourself to the pub environment now, you'll really want to kill yourself later when you actually want to grind solo MMR (the only MMR that matters)
>>122386076

What if they changed the ulti to work like AA ulti so you could actually hit it to targets that are close?
>>122393838
Jeez. I can't even remember if that was good. I just remember people doing so much dumb shit on dota 1, the quality of matches was bad as like 2k dota 2 but all the time
>>122393838

>>122393838
I never got this, Vanguard wasn't even particularly good back then.
I remember when Aegis was purchasable and had 3 charges kek.
>>122393978
A little bit.
I don't think his ulti is the problem, I think he's item dependent to make an impact in teamfights but lacks fast farming tools. If they nerfed the mana cost on his Torrent and X Marks the Spot he could maybe go into the offlane, he offers a lot when it comes to tower dives and ganks, but his kit is too costly for him to use constantly early on.
I mean
alright
Take notes senpai. This is how you armlet toggle. 02:50:15

I remember when iceberg used to actually balance heroes. Seems that everything seemed too meta these days makes no appearance in the next patch due to being nerfd to oblivion. No more storm, lesh, tinker, bloodseeker etc. Why is no one taking about this? The hero pool gets smaller with each successive patch. Literally least diverse pool since 2 years ago

is this a coordinated effort? or maybe just some faggot sameposting?
>>122396026
Post that on /a/ and see what will happen.
>>122395420
The problem is Valve.
In the past IceFrog would release patches and updates on a more frequent basis, but I don't think Valve's staff working on Dota 2 can keep up, what with all the Source 2 engine work they're doing, and the CS:GO game has required more staff, etc.
So IceFrog really hasn't been able to release balance patches as frequently as I think he wants to these past couple of years, but in order to keep things interesting and changing obviously a lot is changing, and we get these large patches which change a lot of things, and I truly believe that he'd want to spread out these large patches over 2-3 smaller ones. Not just to get better feedback over time, but to allow more testing. I mean he and the testers can't actually test a patch until Valve has implemented the changes/fixes, which they can't do timely enough.
Valve need to rip their head out of their own ass and realize they really need to hire more staff. You cannot have three games which you hope to release full support for, on top of the development of the Steam Controller and SteamMachines and SteamOS and Source 2 +DevTools when your staff only numbers in the few hundreds. It doesn't matter how multi-talented and intensely skilled they are, you need more heads and hands, so you need to hire people who aren't exactly industry famous.
And let's not get started about how awful Steam Support is, they're a complete joke.
I hope you americunts are not as austistic as this 2-legged butter
>people whining about the current meta like it's the fall of civilization while reminiscing fondly on past metas that they used to hate with equal or greater intensity

thats why he has a FREE cleave and FREE damage skill

what does he have as a support lmao

>>122397318
Only thing I can fault that build with is not building for a bigger mana pool. Regen is nice, but Kunkka needs a bigger mana pool to be able to cast his full combo more than once.
>>122397543
It was added only about a year or so ago.
Daily reminder that dota 2 will remain shit unless the following actions are taken:
-Players MMR is reset every major patch (right after your best of 10 you will most likely get back to your previous mmr or something really close to it)
-IP restricted servers
-A more selective disable help tool: when right clicking on a ally's item on his inventory
you have the option to disable it from being casted on you (same goes for spells)
-Pausing requiring the team to vote for a 5 or 8 min pause that can't be canceled by the opposing team (when the match is paused those who voted ''Yes'' can unpause the match after 30 seconds
<<at least 3 votes are needed for a pause>>
-Ranked match search reworked to have a obligatory team builder -> select the role(s) you'd like to play before searching
<<during the draft if you still don't find a good spot you can leave the match BEFORE the draft ends without a mmr loss (a small time ban will still be applied)
-When searching for a match you can opt to not be included on a team of stacked players (obviously does not work if you're not playing solo)
-Improved report system -> including cheating (scripting) as an option
-Low prio removed
<<Players who quit still lose mmr and are prevented from searching ranked and normal matches for a long period of time rather than a limited quantity of matches>>
-Abandon system reworked for ranked matches: matches won't count only if networking problems are found on the server BUT ALSO if a player has abandoned, no matter the time when he did so, the game will be paused and the prejudiced team will have the option to either keep on playing or search for a substitute with the nearest possible stats (win rate,individual hero win rate and of course, mmr) if the matchmaking isn't capable of finding a player of similar skill under 8 minutes the match is canceled.

they kicked me for wasting time and now play without me
it was a game of 5 melee carries on our team, i gave zero fucks and just allchatted the whole time to have fun, mostly dumb shit too like announcing whos about to get ganked or cds on our spells lol, i did have fun but then everyone got mad

Anyone should win. As long as EG loses
>>122398483

Please be patient, Valve is busy getting the Christmas Compendium ready along with an accompanying P2W christmas event, afterwards they will try and work on the Axe Immortal and Desert Terrain
>>122399987
What if before accepting to enter the match the player could analize the current game situation and take a peak at the one who he would substitute?
He'd still have the enemy team's vision locked
I see no problem here other than time limitations

>>122400506
"Events" have been nothing else than custom games since the original diretide. And it's the top played custom game with a huge difference.
If you are going to be retarded at least put some effort in it.
>>122400586
It's called sarcasm, often used to tell retards about how retarded they are without being too offensive.
>>122400328
That might work if the substitute would not lose MMR for losing the match and stood to gain a reduced but significant amount of MMR for winning
Of course that doesn't stop enemy teams from abusing that shit or people queing up solely to troll but that's pretty inconsequential
Overall its a system that would require a lot of work on Valve's end and wouldn't do much to solve the abandon problem
>>122400772
Events that people care about have been custom games with rewards for playing and competing
Year Beast was absolute shit but at least I have some couriers and stuff to remember it by, it's thanks to valve cockgobblers that events have gone from widely anticipated to a huge joke that nobody gives a fuck about (like custom games in general)

Nyx loses all real forms of damage late game outside his mana burn, which deals pretty good damage to high int targets, but only to high int targets. It won't burn enough mana to stop an initiator from initiating or a support from supporting, but it will do heavy burst to Zeus right before Nyx explodes because shitty str gain and no incentive to buy health items.

dude just constantly commit 2-3 heroes to ganking him and interfering with his stacks for the entire early game while somehow winning the other two lanes its simple
It's really annoying being forced to sit in a lost game for 40 minutes because Valve thinks a 0.0000001% chance of making a come back is absolutely 100% worth the 99.99999999% of the games you're just gonna waste time in.

Well its better to be right than to win I guess
Like a third of my games this week we got fucking crushed early but everyone just kept quiet and kept trying and we won
If it takes 40 more minutes for the game to be over, it was probably still winnable for at least half of that
>>122403916
No, they don't throw games all the time.
In fact, throws are significant exactly because it's so rare, otherwise people wouldn't even consider throws a thing it'd just be another game.
>>122404139
just report yourself wtf
how do i play an offlaner without dying later in team fights
would go 5-0 then i shit the bed and die 7 times and become underleveled/underfarmed
laning is fine but teamfights and ganks i end up dying always if i show up to fight
>>122404139

Can someone explain noob why Sven is't picked competitively and in high mmr (judging by watch tab)? He is flexible, not that easy to bully out of the lane, can flash farm and put good damage late game and has a decent team-fight with war cry and stun. I know that he can't have everything at once and is a melee so he can be kited, but you can level him according to the situation (maybe by putting 2 points into cleave since now it's 42%) and wk still gets picked (altho he has 2 lives, but war cry gives you 12% ms)

>EG losing to VP and VG

>>122405360
>>122405243
>flexible
if you play him as support then he literally has one option, roam and get kills or fail.
>can flash farm
with items and levels in cleave, yes. at the early levels he will need 3-4 points in cleave and to use his ult in order to take out big stacks without taking too much dmg
>easy to bully out of the lane
when the other guy has to commit to kill you or slowly be harassed out of lane, you are pretty easy to bully.
not that I think sven is an awfull hero in itself, but the guy does not go well if you fall behind on levels and items as a roamer/support/initiator(needs blink, some cheap tank items, some mana items and bkb + dps if he wants to right click), and gets fucked over by stuff like solar crest, force staff and initiating on heroes with a blink is a pain in the ass unless you are smoked/come from fog.

Do you guys ever feel like valve employs people to join certain games to throw them to keep the forced 50% ratings of eveeyone?
Like yesterday I played with a kunkka that didn't say a word he just solo laned not against an am and just stood there while the am got kill after kill on him. His score was like 0 10 0 at 25 minutes and he refused to stop walking out in the lane and die. I looked at his dotabuff profile and it was more of the same just gigantic feeds and nothing but loses. How would this person get in my game in the first place?

FIne, I'll give you alchemist.
Earth Spirit is your standard MMR grinding machine in Asian servers. Closer to guaranteed win the more you understand ability interactions and itemization. The same goes for at least a dozen other heroes.
WR the hero whose lane is unfarily easy to win and needs minimal variations to her cookie-cutter build in order to have an enormous impact.
She can pickoff ANY hero no matter how volatile or durable in 1-4 seconds if she just gets hero combo off, which is really easy
She can splitpush.
She needs continous cc/silence in order to be caught.
She has a moderate to strong lategame presence despite being strong at all phases of the game.
Not quite as bad as 6.84 Storm Spirit, but kind of reminiscent.
I never really realized how many redditors actually infested this general. I mean, I always thought it was just a meme, one of those jokes everyone spams in some desperate attempt to be funny but no, it's actually real. This general is literally reddit.

I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering a tent with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. At that point she sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove them one at a time. "Squire, must you pitch another tent so soon?" she says to me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but she kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I happily endulge until my raging boner begins to hurt from pressing so hard against my trousers. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." I do so while she does the same. Then, all of a sudden, I feel an inescapable desire to stand still. "FIGHT ME" she screams as she pushes me to the ground and gets on top of me. It's only now that I notice she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that she won't stop until one of us cums. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

Hey david kim here
I've been consulting with icefrog
Blink dagger with have a new active abiltiy in 6.86. Your hero will project a controllable flying invulerable illusion that can't attack. After 7 seconds, your hero will be teleported to this illusion unless you cancel it

>>122409604
If you lose teamfights by a large margin it's in his best interest to just splitpush instead because even if he's with the team you'll probably lose
That said, the enemy team was retarded for not sending 1 or 2 people back to defend and just 3v4ing you guys with a big lead

But the game hasnt been quality since 6.82 when they started to tune the game around Spectators and not the ones that play the game but retards who have no clue what dota is
>>122409973
she dies in two seconds once she can't one shot people since she relies on building glass cannon like (only non pure dmg items she builds are manta, blink bkb and occasional butterfly, no skadi, heart, satanic for tankyness like most other cores). if she relies on blink to initiate but cant burst someone down then most carries can either kite her, manfight her or ghost scepter/force staff out.

why icefrog just let them be good for like 10000000 patches in a row
>>122410616
Pugna is literally food for him
>>122410616
because the manadrain is countered by a stick with 10 charges?
because ember has lots of nuke dmg against decriphy?
because pugnas lockdown and nuke is useless against an ember with a spirit up?
because SoF cancels lifedrian, remnant cancells lifedrain and a stationary life draining pugna is an easy target for chains?
>>122409604
if you lose 1or2 fights then its probably decent chance your team is behins and you cant face enemy team on equal terms (thats assuming your team had equal teamfight power based on picks)
He decided that taking trades and splitpushing is better than just feeding them more advantage like you, and that was winning move.

We would've literally won the game like 20 minutes earlier if one guy wasn't fucking around. We were defending high ground 4v5 more than once and just barely fending them off with casualties from supports, or dying and having to burn bb. If it was 5v5 the enemies would've teamwiped every time and we would've crushed them.
This wasn't some tactical genious doing epik ratting strats, it was some butthurt tard telling the rest of the team he doesn't care if we lose and isn't going to help.

>>122409604

did you ever consider just cutting his trees down with quelling blade you shit?
Alright, dotards. I've asked this a million times in previous threads but due to the way I worded it I don't think I was getting the answer I wanted. I'm going to give it another try. Serious answers from people who are actually good at this game please ("lol implying ppl here play dota" yeah yeah whatever).
So I'm new. I'm not level 50 yet, so I'm in unranked. My teammates more often than not are bad. I'm not better, but I have more basic knowledge of the game like laning and what to do mid to late game than them more often than not. Problem is that's not good enough to carry them to victory.
People keep telling me "get good," but it's clear that the kind of good that 5 coordinated teammates need to be vs the kind of good that I need to be to play 1vs9 with teammates actively being a burden entail completely different concepts, and I'm just not catching on.
How do I mitigate the resource imbalance from feeding teammates/early lost tower? How do I deal with bad supports autoattacking my lanes? Teammates who just won't push or move in when I stun to initiate teamfights? How do I optimize my farm so that I can deal with solo fighting lategame? Alternatively, how do I get my teammates to fucking fight/push/whatever?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Assume for the sake of this post I am playing exclusively carries.

He only has such high mana costs because relatively speaking his mana pool is tiny for how low his cooldowns are. He has three actives, that will burn through ANYONE's mana bar in a few seconds if they're not a level 15 Int hero or a hero with lots of mana items. Ember is neither of those, that's like trying to counter Ember by picking Nyx.

Isn't 6.86 suppose a huge patch that not only changes heroes but items and gameplay mechanism as well? I mean just because a hero doesn't get nerfed does not equate to them being top tier next patch because the gameplay could be indirect heavy nerf. We might something amusing like CK meta next patch.
>>122412303

>>122411686
>How do I mitigate the resource imbalance from feeding teammates/early lost tower?
Claim the killstreak from the enemy, memeback isn't as drastic as some butthurts claim but its still huge in making a comeback. If the enemy is pushing, make sure you claim something of theirs in return.
>How do I deal with bad supports autoattacking my lanes?
Tell them to fuck off, fight them for last hits and at the soonest opportunity go jungle or claim an abandoned lane. Ask them to stack or grab the rune to distract them, most people simply don't know how to support...it's not malicious on their part.
>How do I optimize my farm so that I can deal with solo fighting lategame?
You might want to look at heroes like AM who are great at finding farm in a losing game, do things like farm their jungle if they're really active in yours, consider objectives and pickoffs while avoiding large scale fights. There's some heroes you just can't pick if you're expecting a terrible early game.
>Alternatively, how do I get my teammates to fucking fight/push/whatever?
Ask them first (always start a game with a good attitude even if you're tilting from the last.) Dust can sometimes work for coordinating everyone into a gank/rosh. Just remember the moment you start getting pissy at your team you've lost any hope of control over them.
There's no foolproof way to win when your team is bad, this is a team game. All you can do is improve your chances and try not to flip out.
Don't be in a rush to get to ranked, the sooner you calibrate the more horrible grinding you'll have to do to get to where you should be later on.

AM is squishy but he has the best escape in the game. No other carries can be as ballsy as him in getting farm in a dangerous game. He has his counters though.
His builds are pretty static for the most part and have been that way for ages so most of the guides you'll find will generally be the same.
Once he gets his core he can 1v3 and more.
He's definitely not the easiest carry to play but there are lots of resources available and lots of pro games to take pointers from.

I literally said I'm not good.
Alright lads I need help, please answer seriously.
I want to do a study on the effects that different music genres have on dota 2 performance. In the test I will be playing dota 2 matches while listening to music but I want to know how I can go on about this in my experiment and my variables. These are some things I need to keep in mind:
>Volume of music
>What genres to play
>How many songs for each genre
>What game modes to play (ranked or unraked)
>How I should judge performance (MMR gained/winrate)
Also should my control be no music or the default dota music?
How can I go about this in a scientific and fair way?
>>122411512
Wait Treant's trees block the camps?
>>122414368
No, but they propogate his ulti making it an easy way to eat every camp on the map
>>122414324

go on retard
suggest your babby picks
>>122413523
>Explain why?
shes the very basic hero that roflstomps players in your bracket
you might wanna play riki too for the lulz
so you wont post dotabuff, at least screencap your games. let the numbers do the talking

>He is offlane not carry and the only thing he farms up is blink
nah mate, im not saying hes a carry
im saying the meta is too fickle youll never know who is sleeper OP and comes out meta next

adelaide?
>>122411686
You basically have to accept (as most solo MMR grinders do) that solo Dota and stack Dota are two different flavors, if you will, of the same game. While stack Dota (especially 5-stack Dota) generally involves some familiarity and coordination with one's team, solo Dota is generally uncoordinated, unpredictable, and filled with people whose individual understanding of Dota as a game probably differs from yours.
For example, you've probably encountered a more than a few players with hundreds of Pudge games who probably play the same way and build the exact same items every time they play. Their understanding of Dota, for better or worse, is "Pudge mid=fun, me Pudge mid". A similar idea can be applied to people who do things like jungle Naix or LC; the jungle clearly isn't the best place for these heroes at level one, but these players have played that way so often that they become accustomed to it.
Now, after accepting these basic principles of solo Dota, one of the most reliable methods to win solo games is to figure out how your teammates play and, as best you can, use that information to impact the game as much as you can. Matched with a level one cliff-jungling Furion? It'd be easy to flame him and call GG before the game starts, but realistically this won't help. Instead, pick Timbersaw and politely ask Furion if he can TP for free kills on their carry when needed. In my experience, he'll probably say yes, but you need to communicate with him clearly and quickly if/when you can kill.
So tldr, a crucial step to winning solo games isn't to play 1v9, but to identify, accept, and use to your advantage the different ways in which your teammates view Dota, however retarded they may be.
>>122412924
Literally looks like fecal matter
>>122414665
having a hard time thinking of a babbier pick than PA
She is THE babby pick and the flagship hero of bad carries
>>122413931
thanks for the laugh anon
>>122414724
adelaidehey thats mine
>>122414665
>so you wont post dotabuff, at least screencap your games. let the numbers do the talking
Understand I'm not saying that I'm too good for these players. There's no "talking" to be done. I am bad. That's why I'm asking how to 1v9, because if I was good I wouldn't be having trouble doing it.
>you might wanna play riki too for the lulz
I'll pass.
>>122414665
I say Juggernaut and Leshrac were going to be meta and I said Slardar was going to be op last patch. lets look at the three major problems CK has:
1. horrendous farmer
2. laughable mana pool
3. very very very very weak to aoe
why is adelaide not banned yet
>>122414764
Okay. This is a good answer, thank you.

Seriously, I love buying his Aghs on custom game modes. I always tell my team I'm doing it. And inevitably some asshole goes running away post death like they don't gucking realize
>>122414324
its scientifically proven that music thats energizing you increases your brain power slightly for few minutes.
there were studies on that topic already,
>>122414817
True every time I want to stop thinking I pick PA
>>122414825
riki is agood hero
The thing about 1v9 is that you're not going to win just by killing the enemy team more, there's a lot of other things you need to take into account that newer players and many older players are very bad at
Stuff like pushing, ratting, buyback, rosh, etc
Watching pro games can be helpful for this as long as you don't get distracted by the less consequential stuff like individual plays
>>122414817
>>122415149
So is PA bad past the retard bracket?
>>122413931
>>122385059
In coordinated games where people can use his Shallow Grave aura to max effectiveness? Sure.
>>122415056
dont start this shit up again
>>122415205
What is ratting?
When is it okay to rosh?
>>122415225
Just look at the new meta feature Dota buff added. She drops like 5% win rate from the lowest bracket to 5k+. A good hero to farm mmrif you are stuck in the deep trench (below 3k) that's it.
>>122414817
do you have a reading comprehension or just baiting for free (You)s
the anon i was replying to wanted a hero that can easily 1v3
>>122414825
there are tons of heroes that can carry 1v9
everyone depends on the playstyle
ur too vague...
>>122401914
they're all qts desu
>>122415285
That's my line, you troglodyte.
WHY
ISNT
KOTL
META
>>122414942
Okay genius. What's gonna be meta in 6.86?
>>122415551
Because bkb exists
>>122415470
>there are tons of heroes that can carry 1v9
Name some.
>>122415570
Carry Abaddon.Lifestealer.
>>122415225
It's hard to tell with all the waifufags and retards playing her, she does get blown up super fucking easily but some people seem almost untouchable on her.
>>122415384
These aren't really simple topics anon but ratting is essentially avoiding fights in order to push down towers when the enemy is othewise occupied. With rosh you either have to sneak it with smoke of deceit or take him when the enemy can't contest due to being too weak, ultis down or being outnumbered.
These concepts barely exist at the lower MMRs
>>122415570
Definitely not CK with only direct buffs.
>>122415551
All of his skills are unreliable
I say this as a filthy KotL picker who often loses once bkbs come out
>>122415689
I'm really reluctant to play her because the only reason you'd play her only works half the time, which is sometimes 100% of the time but sometimes not. Built in blink is nice though I guess.
The babby carry I've been using, if anyone wants to know, is Wraith King.
>>122415570
Brad
>>122415647
sf gyro medusa spec
these heroes can easily 1v5 provided you know how to get them to that point
depends on player skill desu
>>122415856
There is actual evidence now that PA sucks in high tier pub games.
http://www.dotabuff.com/heroes/meta
>>122415926
nah, AM is more 1v5 in the sense that he won't fight full on 1v5 but he can splitpush and win the game that way
>>122415856
Wraith King is underrated but he can't farm worth shit and he's pretty bad for most of the game. I feel like his strength is in getting the enemy to focus him but that means he needs real carries to be doing the killing, and an effective team in general.
Also he gets countered pretty hard by heroes that attack his mana, AM being the obvious pick here.
PA can be unreliable and most everyone knows how to deal with her now thanks to the manifold paradox event as well as the droves of crappy PA pickers. Also she gets shit on pretty hard by Lina and QoP who are overpicked at the moment.
She's also a shitty farmer.
Can someone explain to me why heroes that are fundamentally flawed on conceptual level are allowed to be used in tournaments?
Heroes like Doom and Huskar can't be balanced, they are either retardedly strong or unpickable trash.
>>122416072
Alright. I guess I'll stick with Pub King. Maybe I could try Spec but I'm a little reluctant because she's super squishy without farm.
Why does AM have a negative win rate?
>>122415542
Mate you're the one starting it
>>122416072
>Earth Spirit
>5k 57%
>people think he is balanced
is is true that DAC STILL hasn't paid off ?
>>122416258
Who do I play then?
I'm at my wit's end here with this fucking game, man.
>>122415902
This. This nigger is sleeper OP since 6.84. When pros discover him, shit's gonna be hilarious.
>>122416424
yes, DAC was the ultimate honeypot LAN

>>122416467
>badslardar
>discover
must have missed the month where it was picked constantly
>>122415685
naix's rightclick is actually pretty good, especially early on. his big problem is that his FREE BKB doesn't mean nearly as much as it used to. considering the amount of shit that currently goes through BKB, icefrog needs to either make Rage into some kind of super immmunity that literally nothing negative can pierce or just slightly buff immunity as a mechanic.
>>122416324
48 is standard for a high pick rate hero its not negative the way that you think. PA meanwhile has a low pick rate + laughable win rate she is a shit hero against any competent player.
>>122416441
Most everything is viable at low ranks, there's probably a lot you could be doing to improve your play outside of hero picks or farming.
For instance, what is your item build on WK?
>>122416324
>Why does AM have a negative win rate?
because retards that dont have map awareness and cant farm his timing always get caught late game
hes very susceptible to giving tons of gold once caught, sort of like alch.
>>122416154
yeah i forgot him, but spec is more of ticking time bomb 1v5 carry, sure win hero than AM
>>122416678
just revert all the fucking nerfs on his E and give infest a shorter CD and he is in good balance
>>122416338
i want to impregnate 2d

Yeah, I know. I'm really trying to cover all my bases.
I usually go Tangosalve double branch stout (skimping salve or the branches if I need to ward b/c no one else bought them) into treads, blink vs heroes with good stuns so I can land mine first, then into armlet or bkb or whatever I need against the enemy team. lategame shit is heart and ac, orchid, abyssal, whatever
>>122416746

>>122416979

>>122399068
>dominating with a double kill
>2/0/0
>>122416658
>Shackle can be interrupted by destroying the tree or when one of the target dies
>>122417135
Listen to me you fucking retard. You pick Shadow Fiend and go mid. Winning mid is how you win the game in the lower brackets. You learn how to last hit and get such a massive farm lead that you become a carry because SF scales like a carry into late game.
>>122417135
Pretty solid build you should be doing pretty good with that
You can also consider an early maelstrom if you're going to be farming a lot (also good for pushing) and I like picking up vlads on him if the game isn't going so well
Also you should carry around a loaded stick or mango early game so you don't make the typical noob WK mistake of dying with ulti off cd
>>122417520
What will actually happens if you do this is.
>Farm
>Create fake lead
>Give tons of memeback gold when you die
>>122417260
Anon stop getting mad at anime, it wasn't made for people like you okay
>>122417520
That's not enjoyable for me but I appreciate your input.
>>122417571
>Also you should carry around a loaded stick or mango early game so you don't make the typical noob WK mistake of dying with ulti off cd
Good tip, thank you.
>>122417135
you seem to be in a bracket where counter picking doesnt really exist. thats good since you are enjoying your WK
as you climb higher AM and PL picks become more prevalent.
and you should do this too, picking heroes that does well agaisnt others, sort of counter them
its one of the things you should learn once you played WK long enough to learn new heroes
>>122417702
How the fuck can you die when the opponent has shit farm and you have bkb? I beat 2k retards with no raze SF. I didn't skill RAZES at all that's how bad they are.

>a meta of offlane abaddon being viable
I am perfectly ok with this
>>122418021
Believe it or not, mid isn't enjoyable for some people
>>122417983
Doesn't fucking matter. SF farms so fast especially if you know how to farm and the opponent carry can't even get 50 CS in 10 minutes. You will get all the late game items and rape the enemy team with your right clicks. I can do this against the retards without even skilling RAZES. That's how bad they are at farming.
Why is Night stalker so fun to play

I'm in 2k, and if somebody dies to an MIA enemy hero, they will immediately type out "no miss?" in chat, even if the missing call was actually made. Not even exaggerating. People don't even read the fuckin chat at 2k. I can't imagine what sub-2k is like.
