First off, don't call us dotards. Filters are on for that one OW viral shill.
Secondly, Urn/Mek is what you want because it synergizes with your double healing ult. I'm assuming you know what the abilities do and how they interact and if you don't, I'm not going to explain them, look them up.

EG will qualify, Secret will not. It's that simple

Honestly, it's not that surprising. EG has been underperforming for a long time now and roster lock was just the excuse Valve needed. I still feel it's fucked up defending champs didn't get an invite, but it's not that huge of a deal.

>>146034740
But roster change is an actual Valve rule while your defending champion shit is something you pulled straight from Reddit and /d2g/

how come there isn't more crossover between CS:GO and DotA

If there's one single weakness I've been able to pinpoint in Miracle's gameplay it's his last-hitting.

He has a tendency to try and do too much in lane which results in him missing and miscalculating quite a few last hits. Sometimes if he is playing a jungling hero he just mows down the wave and goes to jungle, not even bothering to harass the enemy laner or deny creeps.

He also kills in a specific order - melee creep, ranged creep, melee creep, melee creep, that is, unless he blows a cooldown (like Blade Flurry) to kill the entire wave simultaneously, which he also tends to do.

Or you know, epicenter volume3 with og. newbie and liquid styling on everyone but eachother.

Me and my stack (all high 5k pub lords with a low 6k mid player) were talking about giving the qualifiers a run, maybe knocking out EG or Secret in a BO1.

What's wrong with undertale? Isn't that supposed to be a good game or something?

>>146038528
the game is fine, the fanbase is autistic as fuck

Q1: WHY WAS EG NOT INVITED TO TI6 EVEN THOUGH THEY WON TI5?

SA: EG made a roster change after the roster locks and, therefore, lost their eligibility to be directly invited.
LA: After the Shanghai Major, it was announced that Universe and Arteezy would be joining Team Secret. On June 9, 2016, Kemal, the director of Team Secret, tweeted that Universe had "abandoned" Team Secret and would be returning to Evil Genius. This change occurred after the rosters were officially locked on March 27th, 2016. As indicated on the Dota 2 Major Registration FAQ, making changes after the lock will "cause your team to no longer be eligible to receive a direct invitation to either the Major or the Regional Qualifiers." Keep in mind that Secret also broke this rule and will also be going through open qualifiers. It does not matter that EG won TI5 because EG broke a written rule.

To get there they have to go through two open qualifiers of a dozen Bo1 cheeses each, with everyone wanting nothing more than just the fame of being "the team that killed EG"

>>146040282

Imagine waking up to a phone call, and it's Gaben personally telling you that NA region is trash and will get zero direct invites.

>>146040597
Here is what is going to happen anon.

PPD isn't going to do his research.
>How can you research random qualifier teams?
Merlini checks the profiles of every player on the enemy team and looks at their last 40-60 matches to tell Maelk what to ban out. It can still be important to do this because certain niche picks such as Elder Titan can be devastating if you don't see them coming.

And he's not going to ban out hot picks and powerful heroes because of hubris. He has faith in his team to outplay the enemy, this is why he didn't ban out Phoenix/Beastmaster/Wisp against strong teams at Manila. Were Aui and Bulba a part of the problem with their subpar play? Yes, but those picks are still going to be a part of the problem and he needs to recognize that he makes it more difficult for everyone else on the team by not banning them when they ought to be.

>there are people who unironically think that long standing professional teams with top tier players are going to lose against random stacks in the open qualifier

>>146040926
Not to mention they will get all the way through those Bo1s and DC and CoL will have all the time in the world to look at what heroes EG is favoring.

To be honest lads, below ~1.3k is a far better bracket than 2k.

People in 1.3 sorta know they're shit, and they want to learn and improve, they have relaxed games and rarely salt over meaningless shit. They're happy to listen and cooperate to get the win. It's quite pleasant, the higher you go, the more people think they're hot shit - and they're not - and they think everyone is beneath them and they're held back by the trench. They take it super seriously and not adhering to their personal meta means they'll salt and feed. I'm all for playing to win and I like to do everything I can to get that win, but I'm not gonna autism out because of a shit build on my team or unconventional laning. The higher I climb (started at 900, at 1650 now) the worse the players are. Sub 1300 are mostly adults who just play a bit here and there. Above that you start getting turbo autist children who skip school to play all day but are just shit and they will be upset about it and SEAmonkey angsty teens frustrated they can't climb.

Where do I have to get to to play with normal humans again?

Butterfly was pre WR and SB MKB. and it's also goddamn necessary vs Spectre.

I had to buyback to save our barracks so many times I was greviously underfarmed because our Huskar would just focus down the SB while Zeus and Spectre went ham on everyone.

I seriously spent upwards of 7k gold buying back to prevent us from losing barracks. Game would've ended much sooner if I hadn't because our team has no wave clear.

serious question here:

how many of you are smokers? Today is my first day after I decided to quit smoking and I'm a bit afraid to play dota, since it's 100% certain to make me fucking mad. How do non-smokers cope with the game (community) without fucking smokes?

>Sand King burrows + Sandstorms into creepwave to clear it
>Zeus hits him with Thunderbolt and WR blink + focus fires him because it's a 15 second CD and SK has no ghost scepter

Can count the number of times that occurred while SK was trying to defend or just clear creeps/split push on two hands at least.

They were by no means an uncoordinated team.

The thing is that butterfly doesn't actually let you manfight and you still get bursted down regardless because they have a spirit breaker and zeus. Slark is not a manfighting hero. Was just a huge money sink and once the enemy won a couple fights they just complete countered it by buying a mkb making it even more useless

Satanic was a decent pick up but it was already too far in the lategame to make a huge difference

Should of went silver edge, skadi, bkb, moonshard if you're capable of ending the game mkb if you're not, refresher

Refresher is a way better item on slark that satanic because it gives you the double bkb, double shadow dance and double silver edge.

dude are you retarded, desolate can't miss

>>146047864
Yeah I was going thinking about Refresher but I also kind of wanted the passive lifesteal because it's 25% and the armor helps to offset the deso.

I smoke every game, early, mid or late doesn't matter, it helps a lot. Usually helps me win games too.

smoking weed instead

The thing is you have to remember that -armor is more effective the less armor you have

So it's not that great vs agi heroes, especially a hero who steals AGI and gets free armor

also note to self to stop saying the thing is

>>146047857
>focus fire is an issue when you have euls + blink
i am not saying sk wasnt retarded just because i havent see the actual game but he has ways to get out of trouble
also your np seems to be pretty retarded if he cant keep the lanes pushed

>>146048265
He kept the lanes pushed but he kept trying to go for rax on his own when the enemy had haunt or boots of travel up or were entirely off the map

>>146048259
maybe if you watched your own replays you would probably also reread what you wrote before posting

fuck this game

I actually did just play phoenix. Had to play Pos 5 because "lol afk just random me last with no gold lol" spectre pick.

Noone understood my moves. At all.

Sven used sunray as cover to run from fights. Despite it melting everyone it touched.

Silencer got raped solo 6 times by a huskar.
>hitting R after you've already been jordan'd EVERY TIME
w e w

spectre/lycan lane was - in a shocking turn of events - fucking useless.

But it's all my fault we lost.
Those damned supports right?

fuck, I was hoping for an answer that won't make me want to smoke even more.

Anyway the question stands - how to play dota without fucking smokes?
