You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor normie to understand why this game is so popular.

These people have never heard of competitive games their lifes that wasn't stuff like Smash Bros, it was completely alien to them. And they can't play them because they consider these games too hard. They want a show that isn't necessarily deep or skillful, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good gameplay or competitiveness, nor have they ever picked a book about lore. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters.

LoL is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love videogames" and "nerd culture". The entire foundation of the game is built upon the dichotomy between "waifus and references" and " things are super deep and skill-based". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about my own skill, we are all going to die" bullshit that LoL shits out in almost possible way is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases.

Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the lore is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire game is a trendy forgettable "skillhoit" of the week memefest with just enough references to trick normies into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter.

What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling League of Legends

This about changing them, not buffing them. The abilities of doom, io, earth spirit, and batrider have already proven to be problematic on a fundamental level and just nerfing them into the ground is a clumsy way to address it.

Anyone here got experience with horde mode mod?

It's harder to win than normal games it feels like. I've won like 3 games in 3 days.

Either I use a hero that's good in it with few items (Phoenix being the standout, being able to slow bosses, deal good damage and tank towers with little) and dump all cash into tower upgrades then lose because no one who does damage ever pushes or I do damage and push but the base dies because no one upgrades towers

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. Now 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."

What's the easiest way to do the magic damage quest?
I managed 9k magic damage with Nyx + Dagon, but that's a bit memey and I only got the Dagon cause we were snowballing for a 30 minute win. Still got other items first that I needed.

17,500 magic damage is a fucking lot. I'm not quite sure how I can pull off that much damage, because that means two things
1. Game went late
2. I won using a hero that deals primarily magic damage

And my Storm is ass.
Seems like a difficult quest honestly.

Why is overwatch hyped up so much?
TF2 has been out for fucking 10 years and although the spectating is decent, its only because it has been the community modding the fuck out of the horrible base experience, and then blizzard is like hey guys heres a game we have been working on since TF2 has been free to play in one form or another and we still don't have the basics of a good spectating experience.
Then they say that they want this to be an esport, like ffs what do they even do.

Valve being so retarded is the only reason that Overwatch is so popular, their retarded decisions one after another in TF2, along with never doing anything in TF2 besides deciding that it needed some CS:GO skins and then fucking off after people had problems with competitve matchmaking. If they had matchmaking 5 years earlier it would have grown, as shown with overwatch.
Also can you honestly tell me watching Overwatch is enjoyable?

No, just like TF2 Valve had a good and enjoyable game, and then as soon as they realized they could make money off virtual cosmetics all efforts of balance and matchmaking went into squeezing money from people. I mean they sell chests, that they didn't even make, and then sell SPARKLES for that set they didn't make for the SAME PRICE.

They do THAT instead of give us Monkey King update at the beginning of Fall AFTER they made a hundred million after TI.

Valve can't run a game for shit. It starts off good, then gets murdered to death for the sake of every last penny. They absolutely deserve no rewards for checkmarking sets to sell in game and releasing quests to keep people busy instead of actual content.

make sure you dont kill steal too much and to lightning bolt everything once you have the mana to clear wards. you all about bursting the shit out of everyone followed with sustained damage from arc lightning. you never want to be in the front, always let someone else do that because you shit out damage and are exponentially more valuable the longer you are alive in fights. also remember to ult at the start of fights or if you need to scout the enemy but be careful because non shitter will smoke after a scouting ult
>>
Friendly 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 sad existence, seriously.

who cares about valve? dota got insanely popular while it was still a wc3 map, that's the whole reason dota2 happened in the first place

playdota had like a million unique users or something ridiculous like that as of 2011, and playdota wasn't even the original dota forum, so it was smaller than d-a

people all over the world played the game, got into competitive, competed in LANs and made fucking documentaries.

the fact that even with valve's shit ass management of the property it is STILL by far the biggest game on steam and has such a large hardcore base should tell you how much people enjoy the actual act of playing the game over anything else

oh wait, you believe in the d2g memes that nobody likes the game and the only metric is esports twitch views lmao

It sure was smart for all of you losers to spend money in the battle pass shit in order to get to see this.

I think I like Bounty Hunter a lot more than I do Riki.
Just played him for the set, despite him being a much weaker hero in actual fighting, he brings a lot more versatility than Riki. Free gold but also the ranged truesight and Shuriken is a hell of a spell.
Being able to break invisibility when you get dusted is also something nice that Riki ends up shafted on.

I've won all my games with him so far, but whether that's due to me playing well or the enemy team playing bad I can't quite tell.
How should I build Bounty? Offlane into roaming support or just plain roaming from the start even.

I generally grab an OoV, stout, and two mana pots and some tangoes quickly if I think I need them/if I'm laning. Two wards or courier if we don't have another support and get the OoV later.
Phase into Urn then I've found myself quite low on mana. I've been getting Linkens, for one, it lets me never have to back, and two, it's great to throw on carries. Also helps me not get picked off if I wander into a sentry.

But I feel this is unoptimal play.
tl;dr
How do I build roaming Bounty?

Reports are weighted. If you have a low behavior score your reports are about as effective as a wet noodle against people with high behavior score.
Vice versa, someone with a high behavior score would have a very high chance of getting someone punished should they report, especially if the person they're reporting has a low behavior score.
I've only reported 4 people, 3 of them were sent to low priority. Maybe the 4th too, I don't remember.

Ok this video was mostly made for "r/dota2" (inner jokes etc), but I've been putting weeks into creating this so I thought you lot might enjoy this too. I present 6.88 meets "Prince of Egypt". If you've not seen the animated film Prince of Egypt, you can watch "The Plagues" scene first to get a better idea. Enjoy.

After my yes hiatus in back into things and understand the new "meta" learned how to use meepo again so finally climbing back to 4k after dropping to 2.5 (don't ask) ez wins. Also arc warden seems fun, played two games and lost, but I won lane and ganked, pa just destroys anyone In the trenches. Any correct way to build him? Do I go push with double necro? Or just get dagon? Do I support with him and get euls?

>>161625751
If Riki gets dusted and wants to run, he has no way to not go invisible and get slowed.
Bounty can break the slow at will by using any skills or items, whereas Riki only breaks invisibility if he attacks an enemy or denies.

Being slowed or not being slowed 20% makes a big difference.

>>161625751
Dust makes you move slower while invisible

If bounty can toss a shuriken or something and then run away visible he will go faster than Riki who is forced invis and then slows down

First streaming with smaller piece of clothes, then do a shirt-less stream (if asked I'll just say the weather is too hot) and so on, do you guys think I will get good donations?

There is a limit to where your mechanics can take it, otherwise SingSing would be 9k and wouldn't have quit professional dota.

These are the same retards who say "I only play mid/carry" and think that they are as good as professional players "when playing my best hero/position". They go through life thinking like that, that they can tunel-vision just the one part that they like/enjoy instead of realising that true skill comes from a balanced improvement, even if "9k mechanics 2k knowledge" was true, a 4k mechanics/4k knowledge would trash him.

>But singsing.
Shut the fuck up, you are not Singsing, maybe if you played as much as him you could use that argument, but you don't.

Envy is a great player, but not good drafter/knowledge. His drafts most of the time follow the same simple plan, revolve around the same heroes.

Pick Omni/Abaddon and prevent them from dying.

Oracle, Winter Wyvern, Dazzle, and Shadow Demon can also save allies, but those two are the best at the job.

Alternatively (if you truly are better than a random 3k player) go mid as much as you can and trash the enemy feeders harder than their good players trash yours.

from the true sight documentary. mushi bluntly tells people what they do wrong and gets angry at whatshisname when he has nothing to contribute to team conversations. whatshisname gets all emo and clams up like a child and wants to cry because his idol mushi is angry at him. i guess reddit started calling mushi a dick or something.
>>
>>161631038
Its literally just Reddit is SJW spineless cucks.

If i was mushi, i would be pissed at the guy too. After you lose a game, you want to look at the team and analyze what went wrong, what to improve, etc. and you do that AS A TEAM. if it is just mushi talking, what good does that do?

Crazy right? Dota players are on a death timer where this game could last only a few more years, and the only meaningful tournaments they must attend are the (now) 2 majors and TI. This is how they make money, this is how they live. They don't get the luxury of working 9-5 or being a FT student and live at home and have their meals paid for them.
Mushi's treating Dota like it's business, and he's totally right in getting pissed when your next meal is reliant on a bunch of Pinoys who won't communicate.

People were circlejerking EG for being a team of friends, you know, "the boys!" and directly comparing them to Fnatic. The scenarios are completely different. EG get direct invites to pretty much everything while Fnatic is pretty chaotic right now with a roster change and getting no invites, in the middle of a slump. I guarantee shit was just as bad for EG when they were in the Aui/Bulba last place slump where everyone was not OK with playing with ppd. It's only good now because they replaced ppd with cr1t and hey what do you know, everyone actually likes having Arteezy and cr1t more than him, team atmosphere is great now you guys.

Over 10000 hours and probably $10-20k spent on the game. 6'4k mmr. Game has been going in a shit direction forever. Whatever Reddit complains about gets changed.

They won MDL, but lost at the Canadian Beat Invitational which had a 50k(?) 1st place payout and lower bracket was bo1 until the semis. From what I can see, teams only get serious about tournies if they're at least 100k 1st place because that's what most premier tournies offer.

Support is all about denying exp and gold to the enemy while making sure your team gets more.

This means buying wards, courier, tp scrolls if they need them, stacking, pulling, zoning enemy laners, being the sacrificial lamb, warding properly, blocking their camps, denying creeps, etc.

Any hero can support, but you usually want someone who has a strong early game to support the contrasting weak early game of most cores.

I think everything leads back to Dota at some point. Might sound like a copout answer but the main way to become really good at Dota is to just play a lot. You have the complexity boys and EG hiring sports psychologists, and some of the Chinese teams hire like hypnotists/meditation teachers but what does that matter if you don't practice? It's like a swimming coach who's never entered the water. Or wanting to become fluent in a language but you don't try to use it.

It's the upvote/downvote system and the fact that everyone in this game is extremely opinionated which fucks with people.

Went on a streamhunt tonight heres some thoughts
>bsj
Playing at a high level but probably not ready for it. He played an ursa game where he bought aghs, was just totally irrelevant because he didnt have bkb or abyssal. He also played an absolutely awful morph game. Like, it started out ok, but he was upset at his teammates for not warding against invis units while he still had a stick in his inventory 50 minutes in. No dust. Also no bkb again against a farmed invoker. And he doesnt know how to micro and he died multiple times because he couldnt keep track of one illusion.
Worst worst worst of all, he stresses really bad. He lost 4 in a row tonight and each game he got more anxious and more toxic. Kid needs to learn to stop stressing about the mmr and the viewers. No numbers, just play dota And it'll come to him.
Not saying I'm better but...hes not pro ready anyway.

You're right in thinking that. RTZ is nothing but a team hopping burnt out streamer whos name carries so much weight among 16 year olds that he'll never not be good publicity on Twitch, so he keeps getting picked up even though whatever team he goes to mysteriously starts losing and the team he leaves mysteriously becomes world champions. Every time he switches teams though people talk about him.

Make no mistake the only people here who like RTZ are newfags right from Twitch chat.

Oh, i forgot w33. Notail and w33 are the only western core players i am interested in watching. They display either greater mechanical skill than other western players, but often times they actually show how much smarter they are than other westerners. And i only really see them lose against teams they dont know very well, like ch and sea teams.

What....

3-4 hero FOTM? You're kidding right? There's been a huge pool of heroes picked, and if you see patch analysis you would notice that each patch has expanded the pick breadth steadily. Sure, there will always be "best" heroes, but there's still a lot to choose from.

The only one i would call FOTM is maybe Warlock. Otherwise there is plenty of strategy in the picks. Implying that there is a casualization conspiracy in Ice Fraud's balance is idiotic, the fucker practically throws darts at the board.

>0 shits about balance
>0 shits about support
>0 shits about new content
>0 shits about anything but money
And yet its the most "free" of any MOBA or F2P game so far, has huge balance patches that change everything despite Valve's completely fucked up corporate structure, this patch has been the best patch for supports in a long time, and balance in pubs is pretty much fine.

Am I an asshole for yelling at my Wyvern for ulting a lone alchemist without his ult active as our team literally drops all our other spells on him.

We were pushing high ground. It made us lose because Alch just came out and ulted and his team raped us because we'd dropped our initiation and did exactly 0 damage.

Holy fuck

Why would you ever use Wyvern ult on a lone target except to stop a tp.
