>>164322656
he can go either or

if he's the 1/2 core he goes radiance otherwise he goes other utility shit

I'm honestly glad we have russians on EUW compared to peruvians on USE. At least russians want to make big plays and stuff like opa Dendi, and there's a sort of pressure to be good at dota among them. Yeah feeding and all that is still rampant, but I've seen the infestation on USE and it's not pretty.

>>164322735
>disgusting
why?

>>164322774
no he doesn't.
getting radiance is fucking retarded, what does it do that maelstrom/mjollnir doesn't do better?
you get 60 damage per second from radiance in an aoe, and you get 1 second per 5 targets, while maelstrom gets 150 damage per 4 targets on average

how the fuck can it compare?

>>164322916
because it shows that the game is nothing more than a mexican stand-off with useless rubberbanding

consistent aoe dmg, ehp and isn't reliant on SoF creeps to proc

>>164322995

radiance negates 17% percent of total physical damage also, complement it with a butterfly and ember becomes one Mean DPS Machine

>>164322995
maelstorm was nerfed
and radiance also gives flat damage + burn
the miss aura is nice too

This is incredible, in an attempt to reinvigorate interests from the snoozefest of 7.89 they somehow managed to make it even more boring and by the numbers. Every game plays exactly the same

>>164323159
>>164323247
>>164323209
who cares about 17% chance to miss lategame
ember should never be trading hits melee range when he can permachain people from 1500 range away and negate all their spells by not letting them cast on him
the ember that casually strolls in when its not a sure kill is a dead ember, radiance won't change that math, if you could kill them in melee range with radiance while they're permachained, you could kill them without it

shivas and maelstrom are both more aoe magic damage output than radiance during SoF. Maelstrom/mjollnir is a better farming item and better buildup too, and it only costs half as much to get the full damage on the sof

like whats the point. If you were going in rambo style in melee range, mjollnir would be 5x better than radiance anyway, static charge and 80% attack speed makes it more damage output

radiance is just a meme item

>>164323769
yeah it's pretty dull, the team that wins laning phase pushes all the t2s and shrines, takes rosh, sieges with le balanced statstick of autoattack range, and that's pretty much that

>>164324028
it doesn't matter when you get it
maelstrom is better at every point of the game
maelstrom actually gives you relevant single target damage output in clumps while also being a big wave wipe tool, and you're already at full power when a radiance build would be at 2700 gold banked towards a relic

new cleave is shorter. in fact new aoe perfectly fits inside the old one.
It's more like a pizza slice with straight crust.
I doubt it affected ember bf so much.
Kunkka got hit hard though.

I am guessing Scepter is just not worth it on Queen of Pain unless you really need the low CD on Ult for more pick offs/ganks?

I was starting to play her before the patch hit live, but i just don't really know the best ways to play her right now. I always liked Aether Lens too.

Dota 2 Q&A
November 1, 2010 - IceFrog
Q: Is there reconnect support for DotA 2? (by Vanes-UT)
A: This was actually one of the very first things we added early on, before the game was stable, in order to help with testing. You’ll also be able to have a friend of similar skill level substitute for you in case you have to leave. Players that want to improve their reputation in the game and community will also be able to help out by joining ongoing games that are missing players.

>>164327824
because you lifesteal off of blademail damage..
so you get hit and gain hp..

>>164327672

Yeah I understand these are good, but what gets me a tad confused is the timing. Just rushing these two items seems like a recipe for disaster.

>>164327985
obviously you go you're normal items first
like a euls or orchid or ghost sceptor or maelstorm
then get blademail
then get octameme

>>164327985
go standard orchid + aghs or something
unless there's a skywrath or something the blademail is useless until you get invincibility

Nah, m8, ur just dumb as fuck

I've played with my regular stack 3 times today and lost all 3 games. In all 3 of those games I picked heroes like necro gyro and wk and was indirectly blamed for the losses. I've had minimal impact and felt useless all of those games. This is starting to happen a lot recently. I have 39% winrate with these guys now.. I haven't been picked my main heroes because it can get boring if you pick the same ones but I seem to lose and be useless if I pick outside my small hero pool. Should I take a break and quit for a month? I'm just useless every game.

whats the issue

it's not like they're playing in the 2k bracket or something

>>164330182
They're almost always like thousand mmr higher than the average, meaning it's most of the time litereally 1v5. This isn't the case in your games where you all suck equally

>>164330182

that means that for every 100 matches they do, they will have a whooping 80-90 more MMR than someone like me
now thye do about 3k matches and they are already 90 times 30 equals 2700 MMR points above me

It's not about picking those heroes in the meta. It's about picking heroes out of my hero pool. All I can play are easy heroes like nightstalker lycan spectre meepo pugna and troll. Then there's tons of heroes I've played over 100 games of like alch, treant and stormspirit where I have a 52% winrate with, so I'm not good at them. I'm tired of playing these heroes I mentioned and if I try other heroes I just lose because of lack of impact.

How many games did he grind to get there? 3000? Or 4000? Considering its a main account and not a smurf?

>>164331738

a 52% winrate is faboulos. This means a whooping 100 MMR game in one hundred hours, meaning one mmr/hour spent
Play 1000 more games and you will escape whatever braket you want!!

>>164331947
banana slam jamma doesn't need to grind, he's the best dota player there ever was

>>164331738
Face the fact that sometimes you're just going to be shit at certain heroes.

I personally find it harder to have an impact playing fairly intuitive conventional heroes like SK or slardar than a memepick like arc warden.

>>164331968
I have a 70% winrate on the heroes I'm good at. Those are the heroes I can say that I can play. I just don't play then anymore because they make me sick. And the 52% winrate heroes are wastes of time because I'll never get good at them because I've spent resources on then and didn't get good.

>didn't know observer wards and sentry wards give a small amount of health and mana regen respectively in a small AoE

/vg/, do you guys climb up with your mmr or go down after 7.00? I'm winning 80% of my solo ranked games at the moment and I think that's because I don't have to decide whether it's time to push, split-push, farm, go for roshan or a team fight. I was always making bad calls, leaving my team alone or so on.

Now the game feels simple and dynamic. It's easier to snowball when you win your lane, when you grab some kills. It's easier to get those towers after, it's easier to leave that lane and grab some neat ganks. And then there's some more push.

Of course, from time to time the enemy team snowballs and the game is lost but still - so far I'm feeling fine with the current Dota 2.

generally I find time after patches easy to win since most people only follow the meta which isn't set in stone yet. Most people are extremely bad at adapting while some people naturally figure patches out fairly quickly

I'm back at 6.5k again but I'll probbaly have to drop it to high 5k just to get better queues and more balanced teams. There's very little point going higher than that

Do you like this patch?

Do you guys seriously believe it took them almost half a year of hard work to come up with these UI and HUD changes along with the map, talent tree and other shit that came with with 7.00 update?

Get a fucking clue already. After TI ended and they stuffed their pockets with over 70 million big ones, again, thanks to you idiots who supported them by buying their shit, they went off for at least a 1-2 month vacation on the Maldives and then started to production on more money-driven goals like the Fall Pass for, again, you losers to spend more money on.

Also by working maybe like 3 days a week and being lords to themselves, they literally don't give a shit or have to answer to anyone regarding deadlines.
Not to mention they even released the entire content with more bugs than the current version the game had been running in and they didn't gave a shit. They just kept tweaking it for a few days and now guess what, 2 week vacation because Christmas + New years!

They have been doing shit like this and will continue to do so because they know that at the end of the day, no matter the state of how bad things get, you morons will still throw money at them and keep on buying the shit they shit out of their asses like there's no tomorrow.

You want the game fixed? Too bad, up next in the agenda is the Chinese New Bloom event with the Juggernaut Arcana!

Be sure to have some money read on your Steam wallet, fellow gulagite redditor!
You have to support this game you love so much! Shoutouts to Valvo for making it happen!!!

This is the type of game your playing now.

Lycan players are faggots that watch teen wolf and twilight right?

>>164337335
How to play Lycan
Step 1: Go into lane with a shitty support and get zoned out because you're fucking Lycan
Step 2: Go into the jungle a farm 1 item over the next 5 minutes.
Step 3: TP into a teamfight, press R and W, get an ultra kill.
Step 4: Snowball out of control and end the game in 20 minutes.

>>164337835
Depending on your MMR, if your grinding is "too slow", chances are you might reach your optimal MMR before you reach to 5/6K.

Like I am actually sick of this. You can't lane at all because of the E since it acts as both sustain and damage. When you think you got number advantage a single Q basically obliterate the entire creep wave + hero(es). You try to gank the piece of trash? Oh wait, they just press W and off they are gone. Not to mention the fucking ulti last forever. The hero just fucking snowballs out of control and the worst part of it is that I see the fucker every single game.
Anyways, I just thought Legion Commander was overpowered.

335 movement speed, also compensates for short attack range along with bounces.

3.3 AGI is very good for AGI.
Farms well with bounces.
1800 night vision is a rarity meaning she's harder to gank.

She's just a very solid ranged carry.

Man, is there any other bracket worse than 4.5k?

This place is a cesspool for all of the boosted 5k accounts that fell back into this rating because they're played by 2k shitters. I calibrated at 2.5k so I know exactly what 2k plays look like and there is ALWAYS 1-2 guys every game that just don't know what the fuck they are doing and get dumpstered hard. I can always look at their dotabuffs and see them have some 60% wr in Russia and then 40% on US, you can't even call people out anymore because they all hide their fucking dotabuffs now

Always the classic "better farm while the enemy team is missing and my team is nowhere near me and then blame everyone for not calling 'missing' when I die"

"no."

Ok I started looking at the talents and didnt realize they were hero specific. A lot of them seems strong, but mostly because they are to boost up a specific hero's weakness.

>Lion Talent Tree lvl 25
>Mana Drain 3 heroes or +20 all stats
Draining the mana of 3 heroes sounds good, but it still has the problem of being a channeled spell on a hero that melts when attacked. But on the other hand, who cares if you have +20 stats at lvl 25 as a support? Thoughts gulag?

>tfw I will forever be the true chosen by the mist

The current meta is just a result of them not tweaking hero bounties enough to compensate for the nerfed jungle.

Also, there are three fucking heroes disabled in captain's mode right now and all of them are wreaking havoc in pleb modes.

EG hasn't been relevant in sc2 since the trainwreck that was EG-TL's Proleague run.

About time someone finally put it to rest.

>A "Carry" which is supposed to be a playable role in this game called "Dota 2" is experiencing chaos on its existence. It seems to be identical to grinding of genitalia. However, the other man must watch his wife having a sexual intercourse with this another man, this phenomenon is called "Cuckold" shortened as "Cuck". This verb was intentionally connected to the word "Carries" as to show that the players of DOTA 2 had nothing to do but watch the said role to get sexually obliterated (as defined).

>A thread in "4chan" called "d2g" is a General for DOTA 2. An Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides. As we see, every organism has a total lifespan and had to face its unpredictable end. Despite not being an organism, this thread called "d2g" could experience what a living organism could have. Death is inevitable at every aspect and it is said that such thread is facing its path towards the eternal oblivion called death.

As a human, I have a brain as well as the animals around me. Your brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement and sensation. A complicated highway system of nerves connects your brain to the rest of your body, so communication can occur in split seconds.The neuron is the basic working unit of the brain, a specialized cell designed to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. Basically, at the moment. My neurons have been transmitting themselves throughout my brain making me create such thoughts for the said phenomena.
