Slark wasn't nerfed enough.
why is 4chan so slow?
>>145377963
It's E3.
How the fuck do I build this hero /d2g/?
His W is best with damage items like Daedalus, but his R is best with sustain like Crimson Guard.
Is he really just so bad I have to rush Ring of Repick?

Situational items accordingly
I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin 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 hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Suddenly I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. 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."

>>145381880
I've played Treant mid, I'm probably better at it than you are, but you are delusional if you think he wins against the best mid heroes.
Out of those the Invoker matchup may be one of your best bets but he will start to win if he is exort after he gets some levels.
Heroes with aoe skills like DP/Lina/DK/WR are still going to farm against you anyways and then just wait to outscale you.
Sure you can get a cs advantage in the first couple levels but if your opponent knows how to play mid then they are still going to get their farm and you can't really threaten to kill most of them unless they are really bad.
>>145382125

I'm pretty close to 6k at this rate, but anyway, have fun not abusing the sleeper OP hero troll!
And remember kids, if you're stumped in an argument, yell BAIT!!

>sleeper OP hero troll
This is the biggest bait holy shit.
Have you not played pubs in a year or something? Troll is an absolute trashcan, even if you DOMINATED your lane you will still be crippled by the fact you played troll warlord.
The real sleeper OP heroes are Bloodtrashcan, Meepo and Terribleblade and that is only against certain hero specific lineups.

this metas boring as fuck
I get what they're trying to do. They're trying to close the power gap between carry and support so that every hero is useful at all points of the game. That's why they changed faceless void into a meme-carry. That's why they turned abyssal blade into a mid-game build-up item. That's why they're giving pure damage on every fucking support hero and buffing stupid fucking items like hurricane pike.
Ultimately this is blurring the concept between 'core' and 'support' so much that it's increasingly common to draft 4 traditional core line-ups that split farm 4 ways and 1 traditional support. Because the game lets you do this. And you get what you had last major, just a bunch of meme-tanks and retarded no-skill meme-heroes like naix, slardar, tidehunter, dragon knight, and deathprophet just fucking RUNNING at each other for 20 minutes and then the game is over.
This games a fucking MEME-game and I miss the days of Black^ faceless void 5 man chrono'ing entire teams and wrecking everyone with bfury. THERE'S NO FUCKING HARD CARRY ANYMORE. YOU CAN'T CARRY WITH A FUCKING 15 MINUTE DRAGON KNIGHT OR NAIX FUCKING YOUR SHIT UP AT 10 MINUTES. FUCK THIS GAME.
This games going to shit and REDDITURDS will defend it. I can't be the only one who feels this way.
I've never played these heroes and have no intention of ever doing so.

t. 2k
Spending 4k just to "counter" a single hero who you can just avoid is fucking retarded. You still get fucked by AA, LC and weaver and gimping yourself on a defensive item when you need damage or tanking is bad. BKB doesn't even counter timber, the only way slark can kill timber is if his team locks him down (disruptor or windranger) and bkb is needed for that.
Manta was the best item he could of gone. Game looked hard for slark regardless simply because LC is such a good counter to him and he has no defensive supports.
Manta only needs to dispel the first silence because slark can just q and ult the rest.

the old school of carrying by just hitting creeps until you are fat enough to 1v5 is the true easymode way to win dota, it made all of the decision making and mechanics simple until super late game.
now you actually have to learn to fight on your carry.

It's countering the single hero that clearly carried the game on his back
The stats on Manta are certainly better, but that wasn't the problem for Slark that game
BKB would have done the same act as a purge, but also protected from further debuffs that he he didn't take care of with his Q, on top of anti-Timber defense

dude watch any pre-TI3 clip and tell me Dota 2 wasn't more exciting
Even the drafts were more exciting. You had to consider the timing of your line-up. Nowadays you don't consider shit. You just draft these mid-game stompers like Riki, Naix, Slardar who are so fucking powerful at every point of the game that it's absurd. Antimage went 0-4 this major, and they're still trying to buff him by increasing his ult ministun? Like what the fuck? Shit does just not make sense.
The only interesting line-ups drafted this major were from Alliance and Fnatic, and they both got eliminated to meme-lineups anyways.

Slark should never have issues vs a timber, especially a blink-less timber. The only way timber kills a slark is if LC duels him, which bkb won't help
BKB doesn't counter the timber because timber just blademails and wexs out. Timber is still alive when a slark has a bkb and honestly slark has very little chance of straight up killing a timber unless he has about 15 stacks. Completely defensive and useless item in that game, still gets fucked by LC and AA.
And as we can see by his useless teammates he couldn't afford to play defensively

Manila Major had hilariously entertaining lineups, just look at the grand finals.
The fucking Sven-Jugg-Void tricore lineup of all things dominating early and mid game was great to watch.
We also saw shit carries like Medusa and Wraith King and Weaver.
The most boring lineups were probably TL's Lycan + (DK or DP) push strats.
The old 4-protect-1 days had their charm but if you have to choose between every game being a meatgrinder or a farmfest then I think the choice is clear. This patch is the most exciting and diverse in a long time.

>>145386663
rose-colored glasses. Every game at TI was basically Alch vs Am who could get six slotted faster and push the enemies shit in. Alliance was the only team to run wisp alot and so people just went hurr durr and couldn't draft against them and they won.
>>145386534
>>>/reddit/
So, a hero with a 2000 range pullback and AoE Doom, or a hero with a silence, hex and a nuke, OR a hero with an ult that is basically a free trip to fountain and an absurd ability like Sunray can't be OP just because of the GPM factor, and the "muh cm so poor" meme?
This isn't 6.78 anymore. Supports are on equal footing to carries, and in a few patches, they'll be superior to them.

frankfurt and manilia are about the same in my mind, probably like frankfurt more because i didnt have to completely reverse my sleep schedule to watch it.
shanghai was absolute dog shit and we should never talk about it again, give that major to the russians and be done with it
>>145386961
-Manila
-Frankfurt
-Shanghai
Manila had some fucking fantastic games. Frankfurt was okay, I guess, and Shanghai.. well.. I think I could host a tournament in a third world slum garage, and it'd still have a higher production value.

>>145386961
Manila had boring finals and the battle view thing made me switch to in-game.
I preferred Frankfurt just cause it was smooth, on time, and no try hard fancy multi-cam.
Shanghai ended up having the best games in my opinion.

Max dark pact and farm like a madman, buy SB but don't seek kills, let them come to you, you're really fast so you can farm any part of the map, and predict where somebody is going to be for a pickoff. Make sure you use the fact that you know if they see you to your advantage, warding against a slark is near impossible if your supports are good.

There is a Discord here, but it's full of ERPing degenerates. Avoid.
The groups in FB are mostly filips who bitch about the Pudge not ganking their lanes, and there's almost no good groups for Dota 2 on Steam.
>>145395474
It ain't as bad as you think. The biggest benefit is that you don't get more int, so Nyx deals less damage. Mana shield block 60% of damage and if you don't run out of mana, that's 60% block all the time. I wouldn't opt for it all the time since you could just get a Butterfly and actually get damage while your EHP increases, but Medusa makes the best use of EHP granted by Bloodstone in the whole game.
>>145397741

>>145397957
If I were to make one it would be 4k~5k+ only and there would be no ERPing or other random shit.

>>145392716
Timbersaw but I'm not sure if he's considered "good" yet, better than he used to be as of these last few patches.

You did it wrong.
You go 3-2-1-1 with a MoM then go clear jungle stacks your supports left, use that to get a Mjollnir, then you get a Bloodstone and go find the nearest enemy turret and go turret mode until it's dead. Ult and TP out if you get 5 man ganked, if there's only like 3 people and they don't have any manaburn just kill them and finish off the tower.

Alch (remember that you can disjoint with transformation)
>>145403617
She's durable against anyone that's not PL with Diffusal or AM. The problem was you missed half your attacks, unless PA had more than 50% of her hp left by the time you died you would have won that fight had you not you know, missed half of your attacks.

hey guys, gimme your dankest memebuilds for climbing mmr at 4k
dagon slark bfury troll all that shit
>>145404259
Sven just does tons of burst and comes online really fast, Slark steals 20hp and 12 mana every time he hits you on top of having his nuke that does a ton of segmented damage which burns through your mana shield much faster than regular burst damage does.
Durability in Dota is just relative, nobody is actually durable because attack speed and damage always outscales armor and hp regeneration, the only way to approach durability is with a satanic active or a Shallow Grave.
>>145404409

>>145404627
I'd argue you just don't play Medusa honestly. She needs buffs to be competitive, she comes online super slow, has terrible bases and awful growths, and the buffs to snake just made her a stupidly strong lane bully but doesn't help her come online faster or even carry against counterbuilds or counterpicks.

Not enough creeps if you pick any hero that is at least somewhat efficient in jungle.
>>145405572
I believe it was supposed to be a fall back option if your offlane gets fucked, but it grants heroes that already could jungle, way way WAY better jungle option from the get go (in comparison to going offlane)
Beastmaster and Juggernaut, Axe can all three get ridiculously good XP and gold with it in the jungle that there's no reason to go to offlane .

No you're on /vg/ go to /v/.
So how do they end up splitting the winnings? Take OG for example.
They win $1.1m.
Does each player get $220k?
Or does each player get like $180k and the other $200k is split between their team owner, manager and coach?
>>145407471 There's no /d2g/ there. Why do you keep posting on Reddit if you don't want people from there to visit this site?

Have you guys played Centaur "BIGGEST DICK IN ANY ARTS/ASSFAGGOTS/MOBA" Warrunner?
You farm fast as fuck with Iron Talon so even if offlane is bad you still can get your Blink in reasonable time.
Return deals 75% of your Strength as damage and you have FUCKING 4 STR PER LEVEL. Blademail + Return gonna make bitches cry left and right.
The Aghanim is super good too.
>>145411086
>>145411226
I simply cannot comprehend how people can think that "Troll is back", let alone Sniper.
Troll got 40 less hp in melee form, but 60 more hp in ranged form. Also +3 armor in melee form.
How the fuck is that hero "back" when he went UNPICKED AND UNBANNED during Manila?
>>145411363

You genuinely believe that Troll got so hard buffed that the hero that is shit in pubs and unpicked and unbanned in competitive (despite the hero by design would fit into this metas) will now get picked because his melee form has +3 armor (the only relevant buff).

Condolences dotards. You had a good run.
>>145414386
are you suffering from something anon
i dont recall ever calling troll bad at manfighting
i said he got better at manfighting, and he needs it because he isnt an armlet carry, you know the item that made all the other carries stronger at fighting
and you still think your retarded bet means anything when lycan is the living proof of pros not seeing really good heroes quickly, shit they still dont make deso on him after necro 3
aka the highest damage increase he can get after his necro

why the FUCK hasn't Slark been dumpstered yet? He's been top pick in pubs for years now and is in every single fucking game and if even one person on your team is feeding it's just over.

Troll has been one of the best manfighters since forever. His blind, bash and attackspeed means almost no one can outmanfight him unless Troll is very far behind in farm.
It's obvious as fuck you haven't even played the hero very much.
>>145414795

They've already shown to be so countless times, and people still defend them because of "MUH NOSTALGIA". It's tragicomic, really.
And those people still hang onto the funny meme that "you hate it cus u don't have money". Probably the same people that defended EA's Battlefront.

Seriously?
Was playing with a friend on unknown skill (Holy fuck I thinks he's sub 1k)
Literally carried the game
Had a refresher in stash
Dealt 51k damage throughout the game
How do calculate how much damage I deal on a magic damage amplified target?
Like, I'd eblade and use veil on spectre and watch his 3k HP ass melt away
My team was so fucking retarded including my friend, none of those rapiers belong to my team
>>145415980
Yes
Valve can't break the rules by inviting EG, but they can buff their favorite heroes to help them qualify easier
>>145415601
Troll has been one of the best manfighters in the game ever since he was released. With equal farm Troll will pretty much always win vs any other hero 1v1.
Where are the patch notes?
Is there no update page?
>>145415980

I forgot to add an image. I was trying to say that the game is fucking won because the enemy team fell for the dondo meme.
>>145393007
Blink dagger mostly. Get your blink and tranquil boots and begin murdering whoever is the weakest. Blink behind them or use your Stampede to initiate. It's mostly practice and you'll definitely miss a few stuns while you practice.

Rush a bkb so you don't die instantly to magic burst.
Lose at minute 40 when the enemy team has 5 blademails and 3 monkey king bars.
How does icefrog even PRETEND that invoker is balanced?
I tested this theory out:
>Any team is better with invoker in it because the hero is just OP regardless of where you put him
went Q/W as a safelane #5 role support with a jungler so no other supports
ended the game 10-5-16 with only 10 last hits
forgot that deafening blast even exists and never cast it the whole game
just chucked nonstop tornado / cold snap / emp / ice wall out of ghost walk and ignored his other skills
and this is already enough to win the game singlehandedly, as a #5 role support

>>145421793
does he really need to have 10 different disables?
does he really need to have 4.5 escape spells?
or 3000+ damage from spells
or 0.0 fade time invisi
why is invoker allowed to have 10 skills that could all be ultimates on other heroes? 10 fucking ultimates. And don't give me that

The worst thing about League players is the misconception that since Dota and League are so similar they fit in but bring their shitty League mentality and their view of League with them into Dota so that's how they view Dota from the start, another version of League - then they act all surprised when they realize they're fucking retarded.
>>145422759
>when they realize they're fucking retarded.
They aren't that self aware bro, they blame their team for not playing 4 protect one for a carry that can't CS or buy the appropriate items.
>League player tells me he's farming for BKB

There are like zero items that aren't stack sticks in that game. All characters have exactly four buttons.

most of those games are me trying to carry him out of low priority

>tfw just relapsed back into Dota after being 4 months clean

>>145423040
There's two items that aren't stat sticks.
One is a shitty shield, one is a make a megacreep that's immune to magic, which is actually a pretty cool item. Necrobook is a better version of it in most respects though.

going from league to dota is a lot harder than going from dota to league.
All you really need in league is to know how to last hit and complete combos. Dota has so many little things that will separate decent players from good players and good players from great players.
