>>145457809
*looks at hots agonizing in the corner*
>>145455864
Do you still need someone to play with?
Reminder:
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.
>hots is dead in less than a year

>>145457841

If only Hearthstone flopped.
>>145457841
they are having a "major" right now apparently
>>145458042
>not even 20k viewers
this is beyond sad actually
I only just realized how good slardar was after the major. The uptime on the hero is amazing. You run around the map with 522 ms and stun fools left and right
Every fucking game some jungler walks out with 14 minute deso armlet iron talon
fucking nice game faggots
i will do nothing but LC jungle from now
>>145458137

Reminder to play good singleplayer games from time to time to maintain sanity.
>>145458197
Neither did Liquid.
>>145457947
you are correct sir. i've actually stopped playing this patch.
it makes me sick to my stomach to read reddit posts. do those fucking imbeciles at valve actually consider that as being the majority opinion of dota players??
all my old mates rarely play and most absolutely loathe the game now and lost all hope in actually turning better.
>>145457841
Now, imagine if hots wasn't a blizzard game, who would play it?
>tfw this dango guy keeps spamming support morph at 6k and there's nobody to stop him
>>145457947
>THERE'S NO FUCKING HARD CARRY ANYMORE. YOU CAN'T CARRY WITH A FUCKING 15 MINUTE DRAGON KNIGHT
Agree, you either are already winning with stuff like void at 15 min or you are getting throned at 30 mins.
>>145458170
>not picking bounty or riki to stop this
>>145458514
Yeah I tried with Bounty.
When I wasn't on lane the rest of the lanes got fucking stomped
>>145458514
i jungle with ls and riki or bh are a welcomed sight, easy free hps
>>145457947
So, when supports feed and complain they aren't getting carried, it's actually their fault because there isn't a 1v9 rice carry anymore, huh.
>>145458587
well at shit mmr its not a problem but at higher mmr the mid actually comes to help once LS is spotted
its ok m8, im sure you will get out of 2k eventually

The team that theory crafts the most and actually takes risks with "meme" drafts. Literally always fun to watch.

Friendship based pseudo-NA team. It's fun to see swindle sperg out.
They're on the lower end of Tier 1, but still good teams.
>>145457496
Well sure, worked for n0lans i guess
but more likely he's just gonna get cucked out of relevancy again
>>145458757
The new combat view thing on dotabuff is really useful
when you make bad builds you can see how incredibly bad
Like in this entire game I did a total of about 1000 battlefury cleave damage to the opposing team, thats fucking nothing, if I had mjolnir I would've done way more extra damage
>>145458963
they are top12 worldwide
by shit teams I mean mineski, wings, eg or secret
>>145459173
No, they best thing about C9 was the ridiculous games and throws, the always finishing 2nd place thing was just a bonus.
I'm so fucking mad right now

>>145459174
Speaking of le_pubs, why PUGs and inhouses are not a thing in Dota?
t. gotard
Is there a guide for all the fancy clicks this game has? Such as >>145459038 and the stuff like >x is missing. and declaring that you are going to buy something or that you need x amount of gold to buy something and so on.
>>145459337
They are though?
>>145459330
>Have time for about 1 game a week
Stopped reading right here, my casual friendo
>>145459330
Unless you're a NEET you shouldn't be playing Dota.
Coming home after a tough day of work/school and only having about 2h of free time and then spend it on 2 shit matches of Dota 2 can will completely ruin your day.
>Madara going vanguard on terror
What could he be plotting?
God, why is this hairstyle so hot. I literally can't stop masturbating
>>145459469
I think I do decently for the amount of time I get to play, I have 3.3k mmr, but recently I've been paired with fucking reatards for no reason
>>145459482
where?
>>145459571
>this hairstyle so hot
Yes, dyke hair. Amazing.
if evens i play a video game of dota 2
Is Visage the most forgotten hero in the game?
Seriously, why don't people pick him, is he just shit?
>>145459571
*schlick schlick schlick*

What kind of a question is that? Literally the second game in the watch tab.
>>145459719
>Is Visage the most forgotten hero in the game?
>Seriously, why don't people pick him, is he just shit?
Because offlaners are not even in the offlane anymore, so there is no one to kill.
>>145459595
>decently

No
>>145459719
he is pretty shit without drow honestly
>>145457947

>>145459809
Consider I play 1 game a week, not just the number in a vacuum
>>145459809
considering that the a giant part of the dota community is below 2,5k. you could say he did somewhat decent.
Coming from a guy who grinded his sorry ass to 4,8k and had the joy of playing with the biggest bunch of sociopathic retards for weeks.

If youre really having problems playing against naix you must be in fucking dogshit 2k bracket or someshit.
Of all the heroes that are meme this meta, he is 100% the easiest to dodge because you just avoid him.

I love quests :)
that one game with 21 kills would be a win if my teammate didn't purposefully feed a rapier to the enemy carry
Is Attacker our guy?
Why do i have to d/l a 100mb patch every single day. Wtf do they keep updating?
>>145461140
i dont get what your quest is
be a sub optimal retard?
terribly ps your "normal skill" to "very high skill"
or to just be bad at the game and feed constantly?

>HE PAYS FOR DOTABUFF
>AND HE'S STILL SHIT AT THE GAME
AHHAHAHAH
AHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
AAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAi looked at your builds and most games theyre just dumb. I'm not downloading a replay so idk what your item build is thoough.
you should be going
Q E W W W R W E E E U R stats till ult R stats then Q Q Q at 23 24 25, because stats are godly on sven and the stun doesnt actually increase in duration with skills.
Your item build should be
Regen and a stout. Any combo of Mangos, Tangos and Salves.
Get a quelling first
then threads
then a Dominator
Get a ranged creep (from jungle or lane) with the dom and send it to your ancients and stack stack stack stack till you can barely stack anymore.
assuming the enemy hasnt stole you stack and you have 4 points in cleave, 4 points in warcray and 1/2 in ult, you just go to the camp, press ult and clean it out; then you go sweep up any lanes and the jungle.
You then buy a SnY > Echo > Blink > BKB
Only fight when you're 100% sure YOU can get 2-3 kills to secure yourself more gold
by the end you build should look something like
Echo, Bots, Blink, Satanic , BKB, Daed + Moonshard
You sell the SNY when youre comfortable with your ability to catch heroes or your team arent retard and can secure you the kills.
the cleave just comes naturally when youre maxing cleave.
If you must you can swap the echo for an MKB.
If the game goes past 30 mins and you dont have 300+ cs, youre doing something terribley wrong.
To win as sven you just gotta be so far ahead of the enemy and your own team that you can just 1v5, because your team is going to be retarded ALWAYS.
tfw you scumbag 9 people for 40 minutes with naga siren
this hero is so anime
>>145461824
>at what? slaughtering innocent fags?
at dota, anon
>all arabs are your enemy.

>not picking the king of cleaves

When did reddit get here?
7 years of dota and i decided to quit today
i just feel the need to share this with all of you somehow. I've been playing since im 15 and im 22 now, and honestly my life is getting messed up because of the dota. dont get me wrong, ive nothing against the game and dota is a wonderful experience. But it has just become too much for me to handle and had become some sort of addiction over the years.
i played too much hours of it and has been neglecting everything else like my studies, friends, and sadly even my family. I just went out with a couple of old high school friends and they're very worried about me and my condition. seeing them being so far ahead of me, one of them has already a stable job and here i am still doing nothing with my life makes me feel so sad. i mean i was one of the best student in school back then and look at what happened to me now, i even failed my a-level exam 2 years back.
I just uninstalled dota2 and hope that i will be able to change. That being said i will still follow the dota community more or less, like this subreddit, some tournaments, and streams but thats it. i need to start getting my priorities straight now. im grateful for all the wonderful experience dota has provide me all these years, but its time to sign off and move on in life. thats all from me, a player with 4k hours of Dota 2.
Good luck and have fun to the rest of you mates, cheers and thanks for reading this confession. sorry for any wrong wordings, english is not my 1st language.

Not guaranteed. And putting something like Slark vs Pudge would have at least knocked one of them out.

MOBAs are hated with a passion in the gaming world, but what would you know about that? Doturd is the only game you've ever played, that's why you think it is fun, you simply never knew any better, like a child that was molested by his or her father since when they can remember and find days where he fucked them with lube as good times.

You "people" remind me of bronies who cry about their horse cartoon being "sold out" and "losing its spirit". Like, how do you let yourself to get to such a level of detachement from the real world? A normal person would have a difficulty finding ANY differences between a "good" period and the "ruined" period.
>>145469159
Yes, there actually are games that are fun 99% of the time instead of 49,5% of the time.

It's 1k mmr, you'd actually be surprised at how little blink is needed, it's not as if there's map vision to have to dodge around :^)I should've got it, I was just having a good lane and figured a quick aghs would be good. Then again, rushing aghs probably still isn't a good idea
>>145469098

>>145469351
Picking Windranger as the last hero was a bad idea, pretty much because 4/5 of your team can't take damage at all.
Sven could've carried your team but he couldn't.
The enemy had 3 tanky carries, not to mention all of them were fed.you have to pick carries that can carry a game without needing much help from your team

all he had to do was a-click around the fucking map
and by 30 mins he would get 300 last hits
and thats literally game winning for shitter bracket because you have so much more gold than everyone else.
>>145469351
Ehh, you played well from what i can see, but no blink is just like why.. And being against bara and naga mid like that is no fun i guess.. Idk what else to tell you, maybe if you did maelstorm to deal with anga illusions would be super good but
Yeah, because most of the time you're out in the open in a very airy stadium. I'm not denying that cigarette smoke and beer will have a stronger smell. The issue becomes apparent if you're in a more crowded area like during signings or so. It's not a massive issue, but the fact of the matter is that moreso than your average sports-event attendee dotafans have an issue with taking care of their hygiene.

Why are there 10 heroes are you hacking?
>>145470296
>building heart on a agi hero
?
>>145470006
Tanky carries that can net kills easily. Tiny, Legion, Spectre come to mind. Alternatively, heroes that can farm ancients quickly, like Jug, Alch, Terrorblade, Sven. Try getting a domi as much as possible and use it to stack ancients.
Depending on the lineup, you might want to get rat heroes (lycan, brood, natures) to split push. If you wanna play support, play ones that have great team ults and are tanky (tidehunter)
If you wanna raise your mmr that bad, just get a battle pass and play season to recalibrate. It's gonna save you a lot of time.
>>145470296
>heart on ursa
someone still doesnt know how his ult works now
>>145470376
there are 20 anon
>>145470086
You underestimate how bad we are at 1k.
>>145470091
I had a good time mid, I think I did great on last hits (60 at 10min) and SB's ganks were only effective once. I probably should buy blink rather than rushing aghs, might've netted me some early game kills but I doubt it'll have helped in the long run.
>>145470459
Battle pass is like 10 bucks right?
How many games do I need to calibrate, just 10 like normal?
I'll try and get the money if it's worth itWhy spend 10 bucks to recalibrate at 1.5k instead of 1.2

>>145470661
It's ten games to calibrate, but I think you need 40 games played to replace your regular mmr with your battlepass mmr at the end of the season.
>>145470661
10 games too. It's pretty worth it considering all the items you get on top of being able to recalibrate mmr.
The people you're gonna ranked with also have battle passes, so at least you know they're not complete retards since they're dedicated enough to spend money on dotamaybe

I'd stop playing this shit game if something good was ever made but sadly that never happens.

every single patch
get fucked boys, the only bad thing about this patch is lowering tp gold to 50, it should have stayed at 75 so theres more gain in forcing early game rotations from supports.

once we finally get a patch where there are not 4-7 heros in every game i play no matter what ill stop complaining
>>145480452
Whom exactly are you projecting onto?
>>145464235
>>145464441
Armlet is fucking great now though.
For a strength hero it gives them 500hp, 9 armor and 65 damage and 25 attack speed. Basically no other item in the game is as efficient and worthwhile to have on a strength hero, you can get it early and it's completely viable late as well because of the armor bonus.
Boots Armlet Heart Satanic AC and damage item and you've got a 4k hp monster with 35 armor and 300 damage.
>>145480749
>once we finally get a patch where there are not 4-7 heros in every game i play

>buy 2 rapiers
>still dont have it
can people just stand together?
>>145480252
where is he...
>>145480482
Every patch is bad. Because Valve refuses to hire people to work on this massive, multi million players that has single handily pulled in over $250,000,000 so every single patch is simply going to be "Take a little bit to figure out which heroes are so strong you lose if you don't pick them, pick them every single game for 7 months, then do it again with the next balance patch"
That's all Dota is. People pick auto win FotM overbuffed heroes and win solely because of that.
All Valve has to fucking do is have people WORK ON THE FUCKINg GAME. DOTA IS THEIR MOST VALUABLE ASSET BY FAR EXCEPT FOR STEAM AS A WHOLE AND THEY REFUSE TO IMPROVE OR WORK ON IT AT ALL AND NO ONE CALLS THEM OUT FOR IT
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTINGGG AWAYY WWIIITTHHH IITTTTTT

Everyone starts perfectly equal, absolutely no way to have an advantage outside of skill; every match is a separate game with no carryover from previous ones (no exp, gold, items)
Absolutely no pay/grind to win, unlike WoW or LoL.

>get !attacker GOD in his mid
>tilt and lose
Yeah, totally gay and also bad at TA.
>>145481289
Considering the way it interacts with battlefury I could only assume so.
yeah its more like chess. what they actually call games like dota is "lobby-based games."
i dont like when people compare dota 2 to chess because chess is a loaded cultural symbol. its sort of like one of those card games where all the cards serve different purposes and there are certain matchups that favor other matchups or are good against different things. the thing about dota is that there is a tremendous amount of skill involved in manipulating your character ("hero" they are called) and so it is possible to outplay an opponent whose hero counters your hero. edit: no players start with any advantage. period. the only advantage one player has over another is having played more/less dota or understanding matchups better or worse. you can play for 10,000 hours and you will start with all the same heroes and items etc as someone who has just started playing the game. obviously, the person with 10,000 hours will be better and will win based on experience. it might help to look at dota as similar to the game dota came from: warcraft 3. since thats a little older, you might think of it more like starcraft or starcraft 2. except you only control one unit with multiple abilities.
dota is basically like a mix of football and chess
>>145481289
>Kunkka's legendary sword grants increased damage and cleaves a large area of effect in front of him for a single strike.
What did you think it was a SoF autoattack for everyone in the AOE?
Its like chess, but if chess had 112 pieces and at the beginning of the game each team chose 5 of those. So for the most part its even.
It also is like WoW, but if each new game was a new WoW account. So you do level up your character and grind for gear, but you do it within the game itself. At the end of the game everything is lost and you start over.
Damn, Cancel is actually a bro.

>>145481643
they're braindead so they would ruin the game even without the quests i think

If you stomp and become a raid boss at 20 minutes, remember to ALWAYS build NECRO 3, because your underfarmed carry wont be able to push high ground and you are the only one who can do it without waiting 40 minutes and be a bag of gold for your enemies.

Learn to stack, farm safely as you can without burning your money on regen or hp.
Get items to either push more effectively or sustain you in teamfights.

nothing, because the ancient actually falls at the end of the game while the king in chess is never actually taken out since the game ends when checkmate occurs, so the guy doing the checkmating never gets to get his turn again for this match

cognitive dissonance is just having conflicting thoughts, or thinking one thing but doing something that conflicts with it
reasoning why you play it despite it being bad is a way to deal with the cognitive dissonance, a way to make the thoughts/actions consistent
and sunk cost fallacy also comes into play, as it is also a way to justify playing a game you know is bad
but the justification itself is not cognitive dissonance, it's an attempt to "resolve" the cognitive dissonance

Why do South Americans play ten times worse than others of the same mmr? Is it because they played a few games with other monkeys on SA servers and get an inflated mmr?
these are all attempts to do the cleave damage quest except the marked 2

Even when they do speak a hint of English, they're usually assholes who'll steal lanes and refuse to pick anything other than hc and mid. Everybody could've marked down their lanes, and picked their heroes, but they'll still steal their lanes.
If they afk during the picking stage and are last pick, they'll usually just go jungle lc or something even when we need a support.

>>145484708
my q + aghs? fucking idiot
I think one of the reasons americans are quite bad at dota (3 last majors= no americans in relevant places) is that they only play in console.
I mean, they are only good at halo and call of duty because it's simple and comfortable, (for their big hands and big...bottoms) sitting in huge couches, etc.
The less they play simple console games while eating doritos and the more they play complex PC games and eat heanty, the better they get at dota and not dying in mass shootings!!

Why is Tidehunter meta again? His only significant change was addition of a joke aghs and despite being a str hero he doesn't really benefit, nor do any of the new items appeal to him.
Even worse, the most popular hero of the patch, LS, basically shits all over him.

WHOA WHOPA WHOIA
heres somethann creazy yo..

MAYBE JUST MAYBE
most heroes arent inherently TRASH tier, but rather just hard to pull off/draft around in the everchanging meta?
MAYBE, just MAYBE, there is no such thing as a clear cut 'this hero is usable and this hero isn't list to be made???
HUH
but that would be crazy man i need my pills now amirite autism n shiet
>>145491439
>>145491525
I'm not asking why Tide is a good hero, I'm asking why is he suddenly being picked again after being ignored for ages, despite not receiving any noteable buffs
>>145491683
>cuz meta XD
Put some effort into it or why even bother man
>>145491656
i hope you got molested as a child, you honestly cant think of ANY reason why anchor smash and ravage might outshine a 3 min cd ult and a 45 sec cd channeling spell?
>>145491692
hes been in and out of the meta for ages, just go fucking look on datdota and tournament picks while looking at patch history before posting this shit, spoonfeeding is hard work you know.
I just had jungling drow in my team who literally ruined game by going 1/8, now I feel like going ranked and ruining game for someone as well since that guy will likely get noting and low priority is like a breeze where you can complete chalanges. At least I discovered an offlane void, I hated him back then but holy shit I love him as an offlane. You never die and you can be core if your carry fails, and after all hours of playing slardar and es I can land 3 man chronos that won't block even my melee teammates.
>>145491656
warlock can't clear ancients and soak up damage for his team by frontlining with greaves and a cloak.
He can farm ancients he stacks for himself and got even better late game with the aghs upgrade. He's not that popular but he's like a 2nd or 3rd phase pick sometimes.
>>145491692
Also he combos well with the fotm heroes like ES and phoenix
What do you guys mean when you meme about "rubberband dota"?
>>145491872
>cuz meta XD

>>145491850
just how fucking dumb do you have to be to go misread that simple message?
>>145491935
Shitters here who have been playing dota 2 for a decade and still can't understand why they're stuck in 4K think the reason they and their favorite teams keep losing is because of "memeback" or basically being punished for playing like shit after you accrued a lead.
What they never seem to be able to explain is why the rubberband only seems to go one way, against them.
We can learn a thing or two from Overwatch community, guys!
>>145491692
Probably because since now we have faster games, people don't like to buy BKB if it means not finishing their Manta or Daedalus before the enemy carry gets their own, which means they get picked off, which means they have less gold, which means they can't buy a BKB at all, etc.
>>145491989
>>145491850
I said the meta isnt set in stone, you're asking why hes back in meta, and I tell you that he was never out.
I'll repeat it
you thought something, so you asked question about thing, but thing you thought was only partially true, so the answer to your question is to correct the information you intitally thought to be true but which turned out to be false.
or, tl;dr go do your own fucking homework

>never seem to be able to explain
Lol? This is the easiest shit ever. I am godlike at roaming and ganking i.e. gaining early game advantage. But it literally doesn't matter in memeback meta because my teammates will lose this advantage and feed enemys a lot of gold and exp.
>>145492518
>having an ass for arms
I know most of you will pounce on me for this, but I have serious question:
Why do Carries exist?
Especially autoattack carries?
Why can a noobster that can't properly position, teamplay and support their team just play drow ranger or bloodseeker and autoattack anyone do death?
I know there's a laning aspect to it, but in the end, as soon as they managed to just survive and farm creeps to a certain point, they can CARRY the entire enemy team by virtue of being there.
What's up with that?

>>145491038
those items cost you a negligible amount of gold in the long run and usually pay for themselves by allowing you to farm in safety
supports taking the last hit on a kill also detracts a negligible amount of gold
learn to farm harder. i understand the frustration but youre just not that good at carrying if this is how all your core games go

The term carry is used the other way around. Because you need to carry them until they become effective.
Most carries actually do require position and timing, the other heroes are supposed to bring what a carry lacks.
In short, if your games have carries that literally carry the game, git gud and git outta the trenches.
>>145491850
>if i take the perfectly legitimate point, reduce it to one word and put XD in front of it, he'll look wrong
well done!
This game would have been better if the fucking support role never existed. It's the most depressing role to play. I'd rather not play dota if I had to play this role but since I'm from fucking SEA everyone just fucking picks carry and you have to pick support or else you end up with an all carry team. I just can't take it bros.
>>145493186

>>145492670
Drow and Bloodseeker are especially easy to put down by any competent team though
They're 'pubstompers' which are a type of hero that excels in pub environments due to their pickoff potential. Except those two have been so massively nerfed they don't deserve the title anymore and are only useful in memestrats
If you're having trouble with them, try playing them. Assuming you're above 2K you'll get your shit stomped and realize that they're both incredibly easy to shut down and destroy
>>145493186
The role is not to blame, your people are to blame, for being huge faggots.

There is one good phrase that came from the mouth of n0lans, and it is:

I was looking at Abyssal Underlord and frankly he's kinda poo poo. I think he needs a rework.
I kinda have an idea, make him an Abyssal Warrior instead, give him a serrated sword and flail as weapons.
His Q is a flail bash that scales with his base damage and stuns for 1.2-3 seconds, 100-325 cast range.
W is a maim where he stops regeneration but not heals for 4-7 seconds and causes enemies to bleed taking damage equal to a percentage of their missing hp as negative regeneration/hp removal.
E causes enemies to lose damage when they look at his front within 600 range cause this mofo is ugly as shit. Thinking 10-55.
His ult would cause his E to be a 600 range aura, give him truesight and truehit over the duration and increase his damage by 20/40/60 as well.
His cons are he's slow, mana intensive, and has poor armor and agility.
