No. They finally had a good thing going where their offlaner made stupid amounts of space on the heroes that he was really good at. Misery's drafting was great countering the Ti6 meta.
Then they threw it all away by kicking Moo who was average but had synergy with the team, with the meme-shitter who fitjew didn't want because he couldn't be depended upon.
DC better study NP drafts and playstyles like fucking fiends because they aren't going to be invited to shit after they lose 1st round at Boston, and there's no way people will invite NP over EG for honeypot lans.

I mean, they made a good name for themselves, everyone mostly.

The only person on that team that is completely MIA when I checked the roster is Brax. Washed up, like the rest, probably.

So many old pros that just quietly retired or didn't make it big. I wonder if it is good for the scene to have only 90 people essentially compete in TI including wildcards when the scene can hold more people.

what the fuck is wrong with people. I fucking tried my best to explain to this jugg that that we need aegis to push, he ignores me and pushes. Dies and then respawns and does the same fucking thing. This time he gets the entire team killed. Finally he decides he needs aegis so we get it and I tell him we need to choke out the lanes. He ignores me and dives the T3 and gets both of his supports killed stopping our push.

And we just wasted 30mins because my team refused to see that we lost the game.

League. "Pick tank" is how you know 100% they're a shitter who cant fathom anything other than set roles and set item builds. same people that first pick am every game and then type support me bot

except every pro dota 2 draft involves at least 1 tank

>enemy has lots of damage

>enemy players are forced to target tank for some reason
>squishy heroes get to live for more than 3 seconds in every fight

pretty simple really

>>160657163
No it doesn't, "tank" is an arbitrary classification in Dota 2, where characters can perform multiple roles a team may requires.

A good example would be someone like Pudge as a tank because he's naturally tanky, that doesn't make him a tank because people can obviously just not fucking target him. So he has his deadly aspect.

Then there's someone like Sven, who becomes incredibly tanky with +20 armor, building strength items which become more efficient with his ultimate while dealing crazy damage thanks to God's Strength.

A 'tank' is a disingenuous term, a hero can tank doesn't make them a tank. Nor does it mean you should pick tank. Yes there's a problem when your team consists of SWM, Lina, CM, Pugna and QoP but "pick tank" isn't the solution to better overall drafting.

>>160657167
>enemy players are forced to target tank for some reason
more like they just blow up the squishy heroes and kite the tank. this isnt league.

>KUNNKKKKAAAAAAAAAAA
>great ult

The difference between LoL and Dota for the 'tank' dichotomy isn't even actually about "tanks"

LoL needs a tank because their carry is squishy as fuck and dies in 2 dies but he's built only damage items so okay he'll do that damage.

In Dota carries build items that make them tanky and provide damage or they offset them.

Sven, tanky and damage. Even Pudge has damage and is tanky. Shit like Morphling is really obvious where he can be tanky and deal damage. AGI carries can be tanky too with good armor, like Terrorblade or Slark with Skadi and PL with a Heart. Fucking Anti-Mage is tanky.

Which is also why League doesn't have melee carries because they're huge pussies. Meanwhile Dota 2 carries can BKB and YOLO into a 5-man and try to kill everyone.

>>160657459
cent is a prettty good/fun hero. my point wasn't that tanky heroes are bad, you just dont need a "tank" everygame. thats what bkbs and health/armor items are for.

>>160657579
no

>>160657603
in dota you always need a tank that'll lead the way, get initiated on, take the nukes, etc

It has good stats for it's price, the problem is justifying the active which has been shit since forever and is currently outclassed for the heroes it's designed for like OD, Silencer.

Why take a slow on OD when you can build Dragon Lance/Blink Dagger to close the distance? Why stack INT if you aren't OD/Silencer? Otherwise you'd build health and other items are better.

>>160654294
>They finally had a good thing going where their offlaner made stupid amounts of space

Are you retarded ?
They literally had to always give him the safelane or give him a support offlane in order to not feed.

Literally whenever he was solo offlane he feeded firstblood and died at least 5 times until the 10 minute mark.Thats why they were forced to give him more space then w33 or resolution.

>feeding first blood in the offlane
Every offlaner feeds fb, shit-for-brains

>They literally had to always give him the safelane or give him a support offlane in order to not feed.
Safelane, yes. But support offlane, no. That's where wings figured out that if they just give shadow or faith_bian a 1v1 lane vs Moo's Timbersaw, they can win the other lanes since Moo always broke even or fell behind in these 1v1 match-ups

The reality is that Moo plays a top-tier Timbersaw but plays at 5k on other offlaners, just like how EE plays a great Mirana but his Invoker/DK/Razor loses games. But that Timbersaw or Beastmaster played to DC's strengths really well, way better than this meme-meander cw or ds which just doesn't fit the draft

>>160659072

>>160659168

>Tickets home for christmas are 700$+

I feel like Visage should get a lot more stacks on Gravekeeper's Cloak

His Grave Chill needs scaling attack speed to be cancer. Soul Assumption needs a tiny mana reduction, 170 at level 1 is insane. 150 sure.

Familiars should also be more tanky and reliable, they're way too weak for something that accounts for 50% of the hero like LD. That or give him like a dozen of them and make them weaker so losing one isn't so serious.

>>160659168
>Tier 1 offlaners don't feed, i don't think i have seen Universe EVER feed firstblood.
That's because Universe tends to iron talon until lvl 3 while people like Forev/eleven/ice3/pasha/MC/Bulldog will always try to contest

Reminder 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 existence, seriously.

http://beyondthesummit.tv/bts-spanish/
¿¿¿uuhhh dotardss????

valvebro here, just a heads up. We think that you guys should really consider suicide.

We are currently experimenting with new ways to make you spend more money on our game but things aren't really going smoothly as they could be.

A certain someone keeps pushing the motion that we shouldn't delay Sun Wukong and that we should focus our resources on fixing the FPS issues that have been getting worse throughout each patch instead of just putting more Battle Pass Chests for you guys to spend money on.

More Infused Hero sets with excessive particles and incomplete game-breaking cosmetics for the Fall Battle Pass are what's on the table for discussion right now.

What do you guys think?

visage familiars should be orbs that spawn every couple of seconds. when you attack a familiar is created and attacks as well then drops a stun

>>160659340
>Valvo knows for a fact that they can leave the game for broken and dead for months on in that despite all crying,

And they don't, your point?

>allocated into fixing and improving
Valve isn't just for Dota 2 and you're assuming Dota pays for it all, most of their revenue is Steam sales.

>YOU SHITSTAINS WILL KEEP EATING VALVO'S SHIT BY THE SPOON AND LOVE IT.

It's a free game though.

Even then you're not even naming any 'mess of code's. Gamebreaking shit is fixed within 24 hours anything not fixed is extremely rare. If you wanted actual shitty code you could just play League of Legends.

I think a lot of Dota 2 heroes "tank" by being very deleterious if you don't focus them down.

Bristle has his snot and quills which just shred your team if you let them accumulate. Tidehunter will continuously neuter your right clicks with his anchor. Undying has his fucking tombstone and aura on his flesh golem, and of course Axe can just say FUCK THAT and make you attack him.

But they're not really tanks in that sense for me, they're more like "kill them or suffer really annoying and painful consequences" except for Axe because he can actually make people attack him.

Towers are strong as fuck so you can't deathball and dive and destroy towers at sub 10 mins. Towers need to be safe zones. If you pick a carry like luna, you can't farm if your tier 1s are gone. This should be impossible. This is cancerous.

If you're maining learn how to use all items and start from countering enemies by itemization with your favorite hero.

>>160664348
Kotor 2 got a patch a months back. Of course blizzard doesn't want people to think their game is boring and lacking depth so they want to shit out new heroes to milk their player base.

Then of course they gotta push that e-sports narrative, they bought a promotion on twitch and still only had 8k viewers.

>>160664348
The lack of heroes is incredibly low on the list of things wrong with HotS.

2 clarity + stout
or stout + tango then harass enemy til you get soulring around 4~6mins w/o last hitting assuming you didn't get a kill/assist or died

Soulring ~> green boots ~> Euls ~>any item because you already lose that time

When I play ET I love transitioning into Aghs. The disarm effect is very useful against certain line ups. It's greedy but has massive payoff under some circumstances.

Considering how I come from the third world you have no idea how popular dota is there. Everyone loves dota. They play for 25 hours for 5 dollarinos as the netcafes. Whew guys. Dota will never die. White people might stop playing it but the third world loves it.

He was never contracted to begin with.

Dota is a competitive game of action and strategy, played both professionally and casually by millions of passionate fans worldwide. Players pick from a pool of over a hundred heroes, forming two teams of five players. Radiant heroes then battle their Dire counterparts to control a gorgeous fantasy landscape, waging campaigns of cunning, stealth, and outright warfare.

Irresistibly colorful on the surface, Dota is a game of infinite depth and complexity. Every hero has an array of skills and abilities that combine with the skills of their allies in unexpected ways, to ensure that no game is ever remotely alike. This is one of the reasons that the Dota phenomenon has continued to grow. Originating as a fan-made Warcraft 3 modification, Dota was an instant underground hit. After coming to Valve, the original community developers have bridged the gap to a more inclusive audience, so that the rest of the world can experience the same core gameplay, but with the level of polish that only Valve can provide.

Get a taste of the game that has enthralled millions.

Every day, every day this shitty studio's audio is out of sync. Every day they miss 3/4 of the draft or even the entire drafting phase. Every day, ching chong Merlini is dirty and disheveled while casting, unshowered and unkempt because of his refusal to shower and his dedication to mouthbreathing. Every day the fat jew David "LD" Gormanberg is a fat jew, fat and a jew. Every day GoDz sucks the tiny cock of the Chinese dota scene just a little bit harder, desperately hoping for the Chinese load to be shot deep into his throat while trying to look "cool" with his awful pedophile mustache. Every day, Zyori "S N I F F B O Y" sniffs his dirty scrotum on camera, misses early teamfights and wears a pink bow in his disgusting, terrible "hair". Every single day this goes on, and you people eat it up. You love it. This is absolutely disgusting. I'm disgusted and I hate every single one of you, every single miscreant that donated to this horrid studio's kickstarter, every single retard that watches their streams without AdBlock, every single fan of this atrocious, revolting, insulting excuse for a "studio".

Am I over buying support items?

When I play support, and there is a invis hero or two in the game, I kind of spam sentries and dust. AM I buying too many though? Sentries are really expensive but not having them will let the invis hero on the enemy team shit on you.

But 200gp for 2 is steep for a support. Especially supports who can't farm. Speaking of supports who can't farm, what are you supposed to do as one? Its impossible to keep up.

If you're playing against invis heroes, get ready to eat shit the entire game. No items, get picked off all the time. But when you set up those kills on those shitter invis heroes, damn it feels good.

Play around your team. Ward the places where you need to protect and where your team is farming. Taking obj? Ward near tower and don't get backstabbed. Behind and your team needs farm, give ward coverage to the camps closest to the base. Your goal is to ward where the invis heroes will be, because that's the reason why you need them this game.

Well, what's the prize pool threshold for exposing yourself?

>>160668773
It wasn't a direct change to Plague Wards, just a sweeping removal of subtypes of physical damages because Valve thinks they're too complex for literal retards, their target audience, to understand.

Remember valve playtesters.jpg?

They didnt remove inner damage/armor typing you fucking retards. They only removed universal and composite, and plague wards are retarded because icefrog straight up buffed their DAMAGE

>queue for a ranked game

These are the first two players I checked. Dodged the game. Why does this game have such garbage matchmaking? Why do I have to have multiple hopeless players on my team?

>>160669979
nice one mate

I don't make my chances to be very high, but is it possible to get some people interested in playing as a team here?

Rules:
Use voice communication
Don't be a shitter

I'm tired of randoms ruining games, I want to play as stack and do coordinated team efforts

im 3k
