i asked for a swift death but all i got was russians on matchmaking
fuck this patch
fuck dota 2
only e sports is worth watching
is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land?
this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.
>>163759824
please stop posting this it's not funny
>>163759704
a 4-game losing streak, so nothing really special.
>>163759824
crystal maiden is pure
>>163759704
Good time with family. Mostly shit presents but I really don't give a fuck about presents. Only good one was the Twilight Zone blu ray collection.
Is Crystal Maiden the cutest hero in Dota land?
These blue eyes and that blonde hair is so cute! I wonder how caressing her skin would feel like
>>163759704
I expected nothing and I was still disappointed
Fucking Wukong's Command shouldn't have Ravage's AoE and be able to 3 shot supports especially with perma-Echo Sabre slow
>If your at the edge of the circle your at least guaranteed 3 hits which can range up to 700 damage
Shit should have slower cast animation maybe 2 seconds, maybe also tweak his passive a bit. It makes base-breaking and Roshan impossible unless you're really far ahead against his team(which shouldn't happen, considering the early game process of the hero)
can you imagine spending your life shitposting your horrible fetishes about imaginary characters every so often on a bayeux tapestry discussion board

Why did they do that anyways?

I'm guessing you're spending a lot of time in the tavern?unless this is a spicy new meme
Is gyro viable this patch?
>>163762472
Viper built mek as his first item along with arcane boots, then into guardians
then bought dragon lance after a lot of kills
then at the end of the game bought a bloodthorn
everyone else was pretty standard
enemy team was buying all the magic resist they could afford, to no effect as they were melting
>>163762795
3 missiles at 25!
>>163759704
Wasn't bad, I feel like it's good for me to spend time with my family. With that being said I wish Thanksgiving and Christmas were farther apart.
Why do my teammates think it's ok to let their safelane core suffer and get no farm and not help them?
Are they fine with the enemy offlaner being more farmed than him?
>dotards 2 is patched for viewers orgasm

Ilexa the Cute
Q - Mystical Sword
A sword made from the bark of a holy tree.
Single target nuke that deals enemies and heals Ilexa for 120/150/200/250.
W - Look at me!
Ilexa stabs enemies with her holy sword.
Taunt spell that if it taunted 3 or more heroes it will provide Ilexa 120/150/200/250 additional HP for 5 seconds. 450 cast range (same as lvl 2 burrowstrike)
E - <insert skill name here>
Passive skill that increases Ilexa's Attack and Defense by 0.2/0.3/0.5/1% of her current HP.
R - Mystical Shield
A shield made from the bark of a holy tree.
Ilexa lifts her shield and it attacks all enemies within its range (same as W) for 100 damage and decreases damage from enemy attacks by 1/2/2.5% for her and all allies within the range.
Last for 5 seconds.

First time I had to mute a teammate on winning match today lads.
I played like dogshit, but I consider myself a saint by being the sole support in a game with QoP that can't shut up and a jungle LD.
>>163763294
>deals enemies
>>163763310
xp increase because you go midas anyway
>>163763192
In those cases either go jungle or just focus on cutting your losses (sapping exp, rotating if you have kill potential together with some teammate, etc.)
In 99% of pub games it doesn't matter so long as you just don't die.

>Memefight deathball fangays will argue that outnumbering the enemy takes skill because 5 people are working together as a team. Somehow 5v1 actually takes skill because you're 5 people working together to rape someone?

Overwatch has tankers, carriers and supporters just like our strength intelligence and agility heroes. But overwatch also has 6 players on each team which allows a balanced combination of 2 tankers, 2 supporters and 2 carriers. Unfortunately dota has an odd number of players which allows no such balanced composition. How is dota more balanced than overwatch?
>>163763203
You ok there mate
>there are people who do not hate third worlders on d2g
What could lead to this situation
>>163764110
overwatch has a 3 to 4 tank meta right now
>>163764137
Why do you hate me, america san?
the reason rtz can't win a major or Ti is because the carry role was cucked out of farming and being forced to fight
>>163764137
Dota is a game for third worlders
>>163764192

How in the ACTUAL fuck is this allowed?
Legitimate question, how are you supposed to win with a tinker on your team? every time they just sock up the farm like a blackhole and don't seem to get any stronger.

I dont know if I believe that, I dont even have 100 hours in the game
>>163766807
because then people could make a banlist and make queue times for everyone a fucking mess
>>163766854
Literally the only reason you cant get above 4k is because you don't pick meta shit.
Stop picking Enchantress, Broodmother, Arc Warden etc.
>>163766814
you must be able to press every single hotkey repeatedly since by the time you're farmed you'll just be spamming shit, but you also must know who to blind/nuke/disable/fly away so it's not just about the farm but more about the crowd control
esports when

Whatever you like best.
>>163771214
Remember when he could be mid laned?
>>163771342
doubt
>>163771501
it's the truth, just pick a control setup for your pc and stick to it
you fuck around with dpi and shit all the time you'll never develop any muscle memory
>>163771419
I do, my mang, I do.
I have like 200 games with him.
>>163769518
>Barnyyy quit because he was sick of "4chan neckbeards" being his primary audience and dragging his stream down.
Barny Quit because Icefrog finally nerfed the pubstomp shit he elusively played.
>>163771585
Forget I asked.
>>163771608
Can he still be playing in roles like offlane?
>>163771757
More or less.
He's a ganking hero, you need to start roaming when you feel comfortable with the damage, and after you bought orb of venom, or have someoneone else gank the offlane.You can't kill anyone by yourself, you NEED another damage source.
Other than that he's pretty average in all fields, and has a very trashy escape if your enemy knows what he's doing.
>>163771737
You just got a GAMER GEAR mouse for christmas didn't you. Good job goyim, now you will surely get the results you crave, aheh heh heh...
>no Paladin hero
uh dotards?
>>163772010
>he doesn't know about GAREN
Haha, go back to HotS you fool!
>>163771915
Is there anyway to kill people by yourself?
>>163771980
I didn't though? What I did is increase my dpi and it feels better than the dpi i was playing on this whole time, so I'm wondering how far should I take this and what dpi do pros use for reference.
>>163772181
The vast majority of pro gamers use dpis under 1000, probably somewhere between 400 and 800
remember when getting hit by creeps canceled salves and clarity so you had to get gud and make sure you didnt get aggro'd or else fuck up jungle timing/run out of lane and miss xp?
>>163772315
Maybe in FPS, but this is dota.
>>163772143
Well, his INT got nerfed into the ground as well, you can only really do a pull, boulder, slam, ult at lvl 6 and you're out of mana. If you get a good ult off, yeah, you can, but it magnetize starts fading once the enemy gets even the slightest tinge of magic resist.
You can try rushing a dagon and be a shittier nyx assasin.
hotd upgrade : cost whatever
hotd now eats the creep, hotd now has the active of the creep and the aura of the creep, must be disassembled to reuse
>>163772458
Sounds like you just came here to get your biases confirmed and won't listen to anything else desu. Just use what works for you.

>>163772697

>>163772508
I remember my friend solo killing people with roll boulder and smash as soon as he got level 3. Yeah they reduced all that damage on his skills. What do you think of his level 25 talents? Do you pick the 300 damage
Damn I can remember my first game as Broodmother back in the beta.
Fun fact:I have never calibrated my ranked MMR
WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING SUPPORT SILENCER WITH A FUCKING TIDEHUNTER MIDDER AND AN AFK FARMING JUNGLE LEGION THAT FAILS TO GET A SINGLE DUEL UP UNTIL MINUTE 40, BUT YOU DRAIN 100 FUCKING INT FROM THE ENEMY TROUGH KILLS AND ASSISTS AND THE ENEMY VENGE AND URSA CANT EVEN USE THEIR FUCKING ABILITIES ANYMORE AND YOU'RE MELTING TROUGH THE WHOLE ENEMY TEAM
>>163772654
Why didn't you make them sit on a big fat cock like you wanted to? You're too submissive. Also get a trip so there aren't fakes of you.
>>163772853
I remember playing Bane my first game, not having any idea what was going on. A few games, didnt really get it. Then I returned, adn what really pulled me in was Bloodseeker. I had so much fun, because if you didn't understand an enemy hero who was a spellcaster, you could just silence them! And I remember jungling doom for 25 minutes straight and come out with a full assault cuirass, shadow blade vlads and phase and just kill stuff (Which was a lot of farm for 25 minutes back in my noob days)
It's weird to know that you at one point didn't just get it.
>>163772010
omniknight
Why do heroes like earth spirit and doom get gutted instead of just reworked? Nobody likes looking at heroes with awful numbers everywhere; they're just ugly.
>>163773051
Haha yeah sometimes I wish I could go back to those days where no one had a clue what was going on, I went and found my oldest matches on Dotabuff and I found a Morphling game where I bought Bloodstone.

I'd get all the spell damage i can from that talent tree, and that INT at lvl 10. Can't see any situation where Hp or magic resist would be better, when you can build pipe.

Maybe you had a shitty team composition, maybe you sucked dick, go watch someone who's better than you for a few minutes and ape him.

Watch this autist's video on a hero you want to play, he tends to explain what he's doing pretty well in every video. If you suck total dick at the game you can read his guide on all the mechanics.

I've been trying to get that single victory out the door since last nightbefore you say "lmao you deserve it for being in low priority in the first place", the reason i have low priority is because i had a power outage and while i was able to get back in the game after 6-7 minutes my teammates didn't even bother to pause and i was issued with an abandon and probably got reported

Calling it now, Tranquil Boots will be remade/rebalanced because losing the hp regen/movespeed is "antifun", and microing your boots into and out of your backpack is 2hard4me. Possibly by reducing the hp/s and ms by a bit, and then halving it if you attacked/were attacked in the last *10 seconds.

Can someone give me tips for handling invis heroes? I buy A LOT of sentries and we still lose. Am I buying too many? I often spend like all my cash on them and end up poor as a support. I never buy a gem because the invis heroes can see when you have one and just pick you off.
I am having alot of trouble with slarks and Riki's.
Slark fucking gets one shadow blade and feeds off your supports and suddenly he is stacked as fuck.
Honestly, there needs to be better detection items in the game. Slark can even tell when he is being watched for whatever reason.

Weaver's shukuchi speed is fun and hilarious

you go offlane and have more items and deal more damage than your carry for a massive portion of the game
>>163771757
>Can he still be playing in roles like offlane?
Yes. Not that hard, you just get levels, and kill stuff. If you do well, go midas. If you want to farm a little more, Iron talon. The rest is up to you.
>Is there anyway to kill people by yourself?
Learn to gank with earth spirit. If you can, do pull + roll combo (like when silence was stun) instead of wasting the stun at the beginning, therefore you maximize the damage. You can easily do this when they only have one way to go, they dont see you, when they are already disabled, or just when you know when is he gonna be when you roll in. Of course sometimes you are gonna need to stun first, but that depends on the enemy hero.
But i dont really see the motivation to look for solo kills, you are not gonna be useless later if you dont solo kill. Just do what you do.
If you want to solo kill, urn is a cheap way to increase your damage. Veil is a good way too.
>>163772843
I prefer the roll since its a lot of damage if you think about it, but the respawn timer reduction can be good too i guess. If i were a support/not living long enough, i would go the respawn. Otherwise, damage.

bad ideas i didn't even read the whole thing
Shrines are fine, stop being bitches -- they add depth to gameplay. Don't dive/engage in teamfights around enemy shrines if it's active is up. Disengage and try again.
They make breaking high ground harder, but the game is extremely snowballing it keeps the snowballing team from ending the game immediately after getting racks at minute 7 thanks to the changes to the in game economy (Heroes kills > static farming, increased gpm, etc)
The only BAD changes from 7.00 is the UI and map design. Map needs to calm down with all the fucking stairs, too many elevations in the map.

What do you guys reckon is the better lvl25 talent for LC. On dotabuff it shows that +40 damage has a 5% win advantage over 25% cd reduction. I'm not convinced however.

CK outdamages all other carries with his illusions. Also, I don't go armlet. I just get Maelstrom and (most of the time) AC and then situational items. Always end with over a dozen kills every time.
>>163791457
Yeah he's pretty great now. Rift going to BKB is very good too, helps avoid being kited.

For the item build aquila+raindrops is good almost anytime because of the 6 second 60 mana invoke. Rushing aghs is even better than before
If you're not playing CK as a better Shadow Demon then you're playing CK wrong.

ya at least csgo doesnt gate you
its one of the reasons i stopped playing dota seriously
ill play with my mates one or twice but i aint got time to play 24/7 5000 hours just to play ranked.
but i do love these threads
>>163792036
>I flame Death Prophets for buying Shiva's Guard because Death Prophet isn't a tank hero.
>>163792354
>want to jump into competitive
>100 hours
dont do that. have at LEAST 500 hours. preferably 1000 hours before you calibrate or you will hate yourself later. ranked games done become bearable until mid 4k so you really dont want to calibrate anywher below high 3k
if i install this game, will one of you play with me? :(
>>163792565
my main game is csgo as well but its completely different
the most efficient way to learn dota is to read a fucking encyklopedia basically. if you just play from the 0 without anything the first time you can play ranked gonna put you in the lowest mmr and that shit is unplayable because teamwork is important and works different than in csgo where you can just outaim scrubs
>>163792863
memorize spray patterns
memorize builds
same shit
>>163792752
high 3k is the biggest cancer because thats the line for becoming decent and everybody thinks they are the best players in the world. also everyone just wanna escape the bracket and cancerous as fuck
just dont be below 2k and youre fine
>>163792565
the gating is very important. it should honestly be higher. In CSGO you can recalibrate after quitting for awhile. In dota if you calibrate low the climb is HORRIBLY slow. people jump into ranked too early and calibrate into 2k/low 3k and hate the game because of it.
The question is, do I spam CK to make it to 6k MMR?
>>163792752
>ranked games done become bearable until mid 4k
I am mid/high 4k and it is not bearable. Every game makes me suicidal.
>>163793072
dota is a clusterfuck i think even icefrog doesnt know exactly what spell goes through in what item in what percent
also many heroes with many spells and confusing stuff
the entire game is different, if someone on your team dies your enemy becomes stronger. there is no such thing in csgo, outside the economy you have the chance to just outaim the entire team
>no +25 hero
uhh dotards?
>>163793175
Nigger literally just play international ranked for a chance at recalibration
>>163793374
Luna. I think Fear has gained almost 400 mmr just spamming that big booty hoe
>>163793096
I made the mistake and calibrated with only 250 hours played and got 2.8k. My games were fucking miserable. Literally 70% of players were spics and there was zero semblance of team composition. It took me 1,500 hours to climb to where I am now and I can safety say that the game is outright not worth playing below 4k. If I had to start back again at 3k I literally would quit the game.
>>163793394
>paying for an option that should be in the game by default
this game is fucking impossible using a laptop touchpad
>>163793482
I remember when they first released ranked matchmaking. I calibrated at 3500 since I've already been playing for a good while.
But that doesn't mean I didn't see a bunch of retards on the way up.
>>163792752
so I'm basically fucked then if I want to play for mmr?
>2.3k
>>163793615
>using a laptop touchpad
y tho
>>163793640
I climbed from 2.7k to 5k. It's possible but you're gonna have to endure a lot of frustration and maybe sacrifice a few years of your life.
>>163793640
I calibrated at 2.8k and my experience getting to an mmr with enjoyable games was slow and miserable. I would consider making another account and trying again desu
>>163793570
it would encourage boosting even more

Precisely knowing some percentages and other trivia isn't what's gonna get you off the trench. You mainly need to outplay your opponents. Browsing the wiki isn't gonna make you a good player.

Why are ranked all pick matches so shit? If I play unranked all pick, it's ok most of the time but when I take a few matches of ranked, they get the most toxic assholes on the planet to that match. It doesn't matter if it's a win or a loss, there's always some obnoxious fuck ruining it.

You won't learn how to draft by reading a wiki. There isn't a guide anywhere that will teach you that other than playing the game and getting better at it.
As for spells interactions, everybody knows the important ones. If it's your first time playing a particular matchup you're gonna get shitwrecked anyway. Knowing trivia like "this blocks that" is surface level knowledge. You're wholly deluded if you think you're gonna get gud at doto by reading stuff.

what he said
I forgot to mention earlier my skill build on CK.
Always go stun level 1, because rift has become absolute shit level 1 since the last couple of patches.
But it's the best to max first, since cooldown goes down a lot and it reduces armor by 7. Max stun second, the crit last.
I like to pick up a value point in crit when I get treads, since the extra attack speed allows for more procs and helps heal you if you happen to be low on HP. Get first point in Phantasm when you're about to push the tower.

Why can't people just pick heroes they are comfortable playing with when they play ranked? Why try to pull off some weird fucking shit you saw in a pro match when you're playing a fucking sub 3k mmr match with randoms? What the fuck. Most matches in ranked are butched entirely because idiots have to try something they don't understand just because they saw pros doing it.
>>163795758
im a photographer and its the same shit at some parts. you can see countless tutorial on lightning and gear and retouching but when it comes to stuff that makes a huge difference like color correcting there is barely anything besides presets and overdone shit
i can respect that though everyone has to develop its on look but when it comes to vidya its a bit funny
>>163796486
Because they don't actually understand what makes that hero good. They simply try to imitate what they see and then complain to their teammates when it doesn't work out for them.
>>163796513
Can't spoonfeed every detail of work when it counts, can't you experiment and see what works for you?
>>163796647
Yeah, that and I think the biggest issue is that most sub 3k teams seem to have one thing they keep doing over and over and over again whether it fails or not. They stand around in MK ulti 5 times in a row and die every time and fail to see the problem. If they are winning by doing the same thing over and over and someone in the enemy team changes something, the team is just completely fucked. They keep doing that same old things when things have changed and it doesnt work anymore, so they lose.

Monkey ult isn't even that bad. It has a long startup, from cast time to when the monkeys get into place. Then there's the fact that if you stand in one spot, only one or two statues hit you, every 2 seconds. And MK is visible the entire time, unless he's on a tree.

Possible. CK is a good carry, even good against other good carries, but he can get shit on hard if you use Phantasm at an inappropriate time, or are against AoE nuke heros.

RTZ's MMR is so high that all his teammates are retards to average out the MMR, so yeah its also kind of his fault for his team losing
>>163802562
they can try
Please god... I need tips against slark. Every fucking game. No matter what lane he is in, he just dumps the team.
He goes shadow blade and echo sabre which tanks him up and his ult allowing him to get free hits on you is retarded.
What shuts him down? I had to buy THREE defensive items as a support in order to survive him and then still maybe die. I bought force staff, glimmer cape and euls. Sometimes it was enough to escape but not every time.
What can I do as a part of a team to prevent slarks from just walking all over us? I buy sentries and try to place them defensively but he can tell when he is being watched. Help.
why the hell has no one killed RTZ's shrine yet?

dota was a casual mod for wc3 in the beginning
sc2 requires and forces you to have macro and micro skills even at low level
rtz ee aui and the others who played it at high level are on a different level in terms of multitasking and apm
dota just dont rewards it outside of a few heroes

how does this even work? what do they do to raise those acc mmr?

>24k people watching our canonical gigaguy
>>163803081
nothing, it'll be like 2-3k mmr when they're ready for ranked. then their sold to boosters, abusers etc
when it goes to ranked you can calibrate as high as 4.5k so most boosters dont have an issue with this, then they just grind up to whatever mmr they want to sell at
Tell me senpai, can Artour turn this game?
>>163802958
they have insufficient hygiene
>>163803081
Have 10 accounts.
Play them against each other with really specific matchmaking, region, language and game mode.
Get them to ranked games.
Calibrate them by having one set completely BTFO the other and guarantee the highest calibration which is around 5k MMR.
Sell 5, 5k MMR accounts.
Contribute to MMR inflation.

Explain to me why people watch Artours stream? I mean, I watch it, but I don't know why. He gets double Bulldogs viewers, double Envys, etc
>>163759704
Expected nothing and got nothing, at this point only I'll be able to treat myself to a gift.
>>163803615
>>163803615
because he's better looking than them (seriously)
>>163803615
Because he's our guy.
>>163803615
Honestly? I have no fucking clue. His music is dogshit, he rarely speaks, and he oftentimes spams the same hero over and over again.
I guess he plays pretty good, but so do a lot of other people. It's a mystery to me.
Maybe it's because he's basically a meme at this point?
>>163803615
He plays dota fairly well and he chills
no annoying "thank you for subbing" every 30 seconds and the occasional funny donation
Shouldnt i just get moonshard so i can consistently get the bonus stacks?
Is SingSing our guy?
When do you go Exort vs Quas/Wex?

he's mechanically the best dota player in the world
>>163803791

I wonder if artour shitposts here between matches

that's a good thing, if you want "loud memer" you watch bulldog, envy is fucking annoying, and singsing has sub mode on all the time

does anyone else sometimes avoid playing dota because it makes time pass more quickly and you 're trying to avoid or delay future chores ?

no, that's Maybe

he tilts sometimes
Dendi has the most obnoxious donation notifications ive ever seen in a stream

even if there is no significant difference in terms of mmr, hes more entertaining to watch than most streamers
Monkey king can carry you to 6k with 60% winrate, I cant remember the last time a hero was this op, maybe global creep aura drow.
>>163804910
I find EE more entertaining despite his autism, also his music is more tolerable (doesn't mean it's good though)

its from dota1+hon, it was popular in hon because players were sorted by their MMR's so brown was always a fucking retard
You know, looking back I think 4 protect 1 was the best meta

End blog.
>>163805618
what the fuck did you expect at 3k mmr, every single player on that game played like shit and built like shit I can guarantee you that
>>163790679
It took some mental gymnastics for me but basically means to move on instead of cursing your life as if things were to change, which makes sense if you read his backstory
>everyones favorite weeb

yeah sounds like a captain's mode inclusion actually
>>163805968

>>163805364
i'm glad you're not in charge of game balance
>>163805968
What does his lifesteal do that 'enables him' retard?
>>163806329
If he can't win 1v3s in the early game then he's useless obviously
>>163806329
gives him any sort of relevance
>>163805956
this nigga needs mpv
>>163802425
>being impressed by 150 APM
LMAO
>>163805956
EE is literally retarded and knows that the whole "Otaku weeb" persona he has going on is literally the only thing that gives him any fans
The whole thing is just an act
How do you "win" offlane?
When can you say offlane is "won"? I always believed that you win offlane when you don't die at all and you managed to get some last hits and some levels or a key item like blink dagger in a reasonable amount of time.
>>163806429
how does lifesteal make a hero like him relevant or irrelevant? he already deals bullshit damage
are you telling me people will ignore him because he's irrelevant since he lost his lifesteal?
>>163806443
>not MPC-HC
Fuck out of here mpv autist.
>>163805956

>>163806557

xd
>>163805956
uhhh, sing is our favourite weeb though?
>>163806554
Offlane is getting as much as you can out of it while being generally disadvantaged from lack of supports and matchup.
>won
When you're clearly relevant into the mid game when tier 1s are down and you don't have to farm that Blink Dagger or jungle to keep up in levels.
If you really want to win you'll destroy the enemy carry somehow, along with the support if possible. Few heroes can do this.
Good ones are people like Tidehunter who absolutely bullies people with his damage reduction and will become superior to a 2v1 lane with levels as time goes on. Broodmother who cheeses supports. Faceless Void with his strong base stats can hit hard and trade well enough to be a nuisance to carry and support.
>he posts on the gulag

>>163806742
>Waaahhh I can't instantly heal to full health if I smash a creep wave with my monkey dick anymore ;;;(((
>>163806554
when you are 10-0 and leading the game in farm
And the enemy carry is afk begging you to end
thats a won offlane

jesus how deep in the trench is this?
Never buy SnY, buy basher. There was no point in having linken in that game, butterfly is great since the agility gives a lot of attack speed to your illusions which translates into faster burned mana
>>163807449

there's your problem
I just ... I just can't do this. I can't support these teams and I can't carry them. 1k MMR is my destiny it seems.
