Dota 2 General - /d2g/

I measured the ping of the players in my last 35 US East games

I typed "status" in console every single game for the last 40 something games I played so that I could measure the ping of all 10 players, I have screenshots in that imgur album.

Here are my takeaways:

Over 90% of people with over 110 ping are Peruvian. Of the remaining fraction, about 1/4 are people in north-america with really bad ping, and 3/4 are other off-continent foreigners.
On average the number of peruvians I get per game on US East is 5.085, when converted to a percentage that is about 56.5% of the players I got queued with total (not counting myself.) My pie chart is actually incorrect because I have it as a 5.09/10 instead of 5.09/9. On US West I got on average 2.1 Peruvians per game.
In 35 games I did not have even one single game without a Peruvian in it. I had 2 games on US West with no Peruvians.
Over 62% of the time there is 5 or more Peruvians in a given game.

For reference, my MMR varied between 3.3K and 3.6K during this time, and almost all the games were played in ranked all pick (3 or 4 exceptions.)

This server has a serious problem and it needs to be fixed

I pretty much just play dota to solo ranked, or with my one friend who plays the game.
Everyone else plays overwatch or league, which are enjoyable to play with friends, because pretty much anything is.
It still sucks to feel like someone duct taped pillows to your hands when you're fighting in league though.

you know, i accidently grinded mmr once they're gone. and after i got there, i realized.

this is all useless when theres no one who you can brag with. that friend where you always compare your mmr. that friend who always shittalk you while spying your game. that friend who calls you gay for spamming drow.
and that friend who praises you because you can play meepo.

no one spies my games anymore, im not even recieving any pms or even spamming me so the steam keeps on notifying me with "beep boop".

im not crying but, its just sad that this patch ruin everything for me at cost of slapping my face that "mmr is just a number" because no one would ever appreciate me anymore

former league player here who is trying dota and I gotta ask how do you cunts enjoy playing this game when you can't even use spells to CS since if you use 1 spell all of your mana is gone , I've miss several CS because of this atrocious mana regen oh and what's up with this items you need to click to use? fucking garbage tbqh

fly is literally the only good looking dota player

>>165268367
dont worry, it becomes easier once you get familiar with the simplest and cheapest ways to give mana
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Items
gamepedia for reference
so the items you'll be looking for are
bottle
stick/wand
arcane boots
soul ring
mango/clarity for early game
and treadswitching (this one will take longer to get a hold of)
first of all you need to realise that most heroes dont play out like in league, where everyone has short cd spells and mana for days, but in turn, most spells are WAY stronger when used right, they deal more dmg, more effects, much longer disable/stuns/slows etc
anyways, some heroes simply dont have mana to use spells for CS early on, instead you want to use them on the enemy hero at the right time to force them away from the lane. It can't really be explained in one post, but the items I suggested are worth looking into. almost every hero needs ATLEAST one of these items, and quite a few want 2 of them, maybe even three

hope it helped

Player numbers are down huge I understand?

>>165276026
>valve doesn't care about account buying market
>because they are the sellers
This would turn everything around. Valve creating bots just to sell accounts and make some bank on the side.
That might also explain why nowadays no hats are tradeable anymore, so that you are maybe tempted to get them on multiple accounts.
Literal money making geniuses

>>165276472
if valve REALLY wanted to bank on "account buying" they would just make a new item that when activated resets your MMR, put it in the store for $10 and make it a drop in treasures.

>>165274386
it's still low cost and requires low specs

>>165276985
No, because that would require effort of the purchaser to recalibrate. People would also probably protest against resetting mmr via money and call them out for being greedy only to fuck matchmaking up.
Now nobody blames valve, it's brilliant.

Ilexa, Self Made Hero
Intelligence Melee Hero

Q - Boundless Leap
Ilexa, inspired by her own hero, uses her staff as a pole to vault herself forward, moving over terrain. Her powerful kick damages all units that she passes through while leaping

W - Radiant's Reach
Ilexa harnesses the power of the Radiant ancient, rooting a single enemy to the spot, dealing damage over time. Rooted heroes may not move in any way while under the effect of this spell.

E - Inspirational Presence
All friendly creeps within the aura radius of Ilexa receive a percentage based health and damage bonus

R - Hero's Potential
Ilexa pushes herself to the absolute limit, giving herself several spell counters. Every time she casts a non ultimate spell, instead of it going on cooldown, one spell counter is removed instead

How much fun/10?

valve wants every game to be full of surprises, unexpected comebacks and nonstop action, like a michael bay movie.
When smoke and rosh changes came in 6.79 it was the same reason.
When pistols in csgo got overbuffed to challenge m4, terrorist could win with just armor and tec9s against full bought cts.
again the same reason.
For few patches valve made random changes like gloves and graffitti(limited to 50 uses only btw like river vial in dota) instead of focusing on
aforementioned issues or listening to the community.
Csgo had a great potential in 2015. but they ignored the game and the playerbase dwindled or moved to ow

Dota 2 is a game which is absolutely hated by its entire playerbase

40% of the players are Russian or Chinese sweatshop laborers who make a living by selling high MMR accounts grinded through artificial means while the other 50% are third world subhumans who keep losing non stop and spending their welfare on buying the aforementioned accounts just to repeat the cycle all over again

The remaining 10% is a vocal minority of neet who stopped playing altogether and dedicate most of their time to complain about the game while doing absolutely nothing else

On the very top are the pro players who absolutely despise the game by this point but keep the facade up because it's literally their living which is actively funded by Valve which in turns profits from gullible idiots who cannot stop buying shiny digital baubles

Somewhere in the middle is a whole ring of money laundering mafias exploiting the lack of legislation when it comes to digital sports

1. It's a country where having a console is pretty much socially unacceptable, while everyone's a PC gamer
2. Therefore, the more complex shit you play tge more respect you get from your peers.
3. At the same time, just a few years ago only a few people had a good rigs so people we playing ancient shit like WC3 Dota, WOW or even HOMM3.
4. Finally, HL and especially CS1.6 have cult classic status there. For the entire generation, these games are one of the most important things tgat have happened in their lives.

Taking all this into consideration it now should be easily understandable why Dota 2 is so incredibly popular there. A free game from their facourite company that is perfectly socially acceptable, hardcore and can be ran on bad PC's.

He spoke english, he responded to me later about something different. He wasn't afk at the rune either.

I just hate when people decide their hero, role, skill/item build, and entire gameplan before they even queue, then stick to that plan even if it is guaranteed to cost them the game (hmm we're losing the early game and have poor ways to stall, better finish my midas even though we win late no matter what).

do pro players actually love the game as they claim or are they just trying to make as much money as possible from it until it dies

>>165285915
It counts stuff like GPM, EPM. But when you're getting utterly stomped because there are two hidden 7ks in their game and none in yours, who are you getting those stats up when you're sitting in base after min 15?
Sure, after 10 games those 7ks are in another bracket, but still for some time your matches will be very unfair.

also it tracks hero picks as well. If you play all 10 game as Carries, then you would get placed lower if you played some of those games as support, some of those as Midlaner, etc

wtf if you're the one with the wards why does it matter what they think? You just give it to whoever you think can use it the best.

Why not just say this when you're close to hitting level 3? What reason do you have to say this before the game starts?

>>they might contest top bounty rune
This is the only one I think is reasonable. If you're calling for early action.

The problem I have with these people is that they talk for the sake of talking and don't contribute anything useful with their messages. Just like how they won't contribute anything during the game.

No? The fucking inverse is true. People now don't have a job or school for anywhere from 1 week to 3 or 4, numbers should skyrocket. Like November 2015, avg of 539k, peak of 943k. December 2015, sudden jump to 573k/999. January 2016, breaks into 500k avg and 1m+ peaks.

People said it was a meme.
Shills desperately claimed that people would get used to the changes.
Retards actually believed that the changes were somehow good for the game.

2017 is the first year that dota 2 has not experienced a significant increase in players at the start of the year. Instead we have a large decrease in players corresponding with 2 weeks after the games biggest update in history went live.

7.00 is objectively the worst patch Dota 2 has ever received and is quite literally killing the game.

How many people have to quit before valve realizes just how badly they fucked up?

Dota is a team game. It's hard for him to win when no team is on his level.

Also he is the most handsome Dota player.

>>165302753
so being the most skilled dota player has no merit if he can't work with his team LMAO BabyRage

>>165302856
I'm just saying there's a lot of stuff that has to click for a team to win TI.

Is this really how you fucking retards try to justify your shitty playing?
>It's because he didn't talk back to me that we lost

Get some fucking friends holy shit. Stop trying to fill your lack of communication with other human beings through dota.

Also who said anything about not communicating? I don't have to type to ping items and abilities or chat wheel "out of mana"

>>165302696
>He didn't flame me
>waah so toxic
