Is that even possible?

>>169081779
Firestorm is % damage, so it benefits from Veil.
Aura means he will eat lane creeps, and farm jungle rapidly at little to no health damage.

Basically: He isn't built as a rightclicker because he is slow, gets kited, and can't reposition well.
Meanwhile CK has +1/2/3/4x damage on the ultimate, and Reality Rift is a anti kiting ability alongside the stun.

That said, its fun to build SNY + Orb of Venom + Blink on Underlord.

What if when aegis carrier dies, it puts a slow (similar to wraith king ult), but on their own team? Falls in line with the nerf cheese/punish mistakes theme, while still retaining potential to be game winning. Alternative is a speed buff similar to axe dunk, but for the killer's team.

literally no reason why valve doesn't sell the tickets on steam
even if the venue has an exclusive deal with a distributor, valve could buy all the tickets themselves first
and only sell max 2 per person, and needing at least 2000 hours of doturd played

>>169081779
he can be a rightclicker but he doenst need to be build as one, eventually you can be one with proper items and not meme items like graves
I like to go dominator + travel
then shiva, AC/vlads, and abbysal and in late game he's pretty strong and tanky
Dominator gives him all the utility he needs
i get +2 mana regen, movement speed, attack speed, and the lvl 25 depends

Yeah, people like to get mek arcanes pipe and shit, but its just so boring, and he moves so slow that i feel he does nothing other than deathball
My builds gives him room to do anything, not just deathball

>matchmaking literally starts placing me with leavers several games in a row to ruin my 70% winrate

Since you guys aren't very smart, I'd like to give you some information on LPQ:

> Reporting someone in LPQ does nothing.
With the one exception of reporting someone after their last LPQ game.

> Leaving a LPQ that has already been abandoned does not give you more LPQ games. It's the exact same as regular matches. The only reason it will still say the consequences is because the consequences are simply "If you leave this game you cannot be counted for winning it"

> If you leave with 5 more games to play you won't have to play anymore games.
So basically if someone fucks your game and you are on 5 games left? Just leave. Most of the time you will save your self time.

> LPQ actually uses hidden MMR.
I'm not sure on the exact ranges but it does use it. That's why people will say there's better games in LPQ.

Didn't they sell the tickets themselves during TI3? I think one of the reasons they don't do it anymore was because it was almost impossible to buy a ticket using their service.

How viable is centaur offlaning into a carry tank to hit 6k mmr?

It seems so easy to get easy solo exp and gold in the offlane and win unless they got a naix or something.

It also helps our hard carry trilane or get a free jungler or roamer.

>support centaur

I used to do abaddon but he isnt as gamechanging later on

>>169090086
if you play against slark
buy heaven's halberd and silver edge
slark can purge neither
silver edge disables essence shift from getting new charges and ultimate hp regen

Running any ticket service is ungrateful job. Normally you get fuck all users but when new tickets to popular events are released there will be tons of users. However that's no excuse for having the service go unavailable. They should know that from the beginning and design their architecture so that it's easily scalable depending on demand.

Is there a point to trying to climb from 5k to 6k? I'm already better than 99% of other players.

This is the thing, we don't know what the hell actually happened at the stadium(or the place in kiev) that sell the tickets. Some people can use excuse like I buy it for friend and so on.

When its up on the website for online buyer, It said 'we already sold out (tickets)'

>>169098621
theres no meta. the actual design of the game is now "run around collecting runes healing at shrines and fighting"

thats it.

>>169098807

I live near and will tell you. Rich who has connections and friends with owner at stadium arranges to buy all tickets for resale to third party upcharge vendor in change for kickbacks. I will delete post in 2 minutes.

right, the descent has been happening for a while. and now after 7.00 the descent has hit rock bottom. there are barely any hero roles. there are barely any planning or laning or farming techniques. barely any heroes have periods of weakness or peaks of strength. literally nothing is left after 7.0 except running around hitting shit and collecting runes and healing.

remember when dotards would make fun of LoL for not having flexible laning. You could run offensive/defensive trilanes, strong dual lanes, a greedy jungler etc. Now you just have the same laning setup every game 1/1/3.

remember when dotards would make fun of LoL because it punished you for deviating from the meta. Now you get low prio just for picking a hero like naga or techies.

remember when dotards made fun of LoL's league system for esports. We used to have tons of great games every week with different 3rd parties competing, now it's basically just every team treating 3rd parties as practice and the Major system is basically a league at this point.

WONG

I was the Sniper, lost my 4k playing sparingly these past 3-4 weeks due to a loss streak (which is still going on from the looks of it).

Someone on my team said "sniper has no dmg" but I'm pretty sure that had more to do with Axe having these items then me having "no dmg xD".

Pushing into them was so difficult, how should pushing against this lineup have been approached? Smoke and pickoff is the first thing that comes to mind but those were rarely working out.

There are 0 good arguments for why talents should exist

>muh choice

There is no choice, by adding more options on how to build the hero you eliminate choice by giving people the opportunity to create a more optimized build. Only valve shills and reddit cucks think adding talents created anything more than the illusion of choice.

This game is fucking unplayable, last 5 games i had 15 russian degenerates in my team in total

>>169101520
>There are 0 good arguments for why stat points should exist

muh choice

>>169101520
let me give you the basic gestalt
leveling stats was boring
refreshing the game is needed to keep is fresh

>>169101520
there is no reason to have skills or items they just add an ilussion of choice

all heroes should play exactly the same form minute 0 to the throne exploding like chess pieces

this is literally your logic

>>169101739
no, we need to keep a 14 year old exactly as it was

That I could understand, but why change the map? For other team sports the playing field has always been the same, and the rules have been what changed.

It is like valve had the NFL equivalent of the esports audience, and now they are wanting the women's NBA audience instead.

They shouldn't have removed attributes completely desu fampai, they should still allow 5 levels in them

>>169101520
the only reason talents exist is out of laziness. instead of rebalancing the core essence of a hero, now they just "add the exact buff this hero needs at exactly level 20 when this character is normally weak"

and when theyre not doing that, theyre "add a 2nd projectile to this spell at level 25"

talents are absolute TRASH, lazy uninspired garbage only a redditor would like

>>169101948
you ready for the big enchilada?
the map was changed multiple times before and during dota 2

>>169101948
real sports have symmetrical fields it doesnt matter what side you play on

dota doesnt and it wont becuase 1 that would be boring 2 you need to balance somehow firstpick otherwise the team that wins the coinflip has pretty huge advantage for no reason

>>169102106
This, I want more choices. Items need to have different versions of themselves and we should allocate attributes manually

>>169101948
the previous map wasnt balanced

i am not suggesting that the revision is balanced either, but we needed a radical change to occur before we could go back to incremental updates

>>169101587
you're mathematically likely to be a russian degenerate too

>>169102160
>the coin flip

lets not go there im still salty from the superbowl.

anyways, the advantage is from the draft. The draft is what makes the game interesting and the map should not give an advantage imo

>>169102123
?
I know they['re a work in progress for literally all but 4 heroes right now but how can you not see the potential for talents to make or break some heroes?

Tidehunter
Level 25 Talant
-Ravage now pierces spell immunity
-Ravage now expands twice the aoe

because the "potential" started off with a bunch of quirky game ruining bullshit. talents should have been nothing but stats unless they found a really exciting mechanic, kinda like aghs. dont add unless you actually found something cool.

but no, instead they give EVERYONE an aghs hurr durr 3 projectiles instead of 1 now, and they give EVERYONE insane talents that make no sense.

starting at level 25, not level 1

unfortunately with the talent implementation they needed to include the entire hero pool at once, or else ostracize a subsection of heroes. with time and data hero talents will be brought in line with one another

>>169102767

let me tell you the REAL reason talents exist

without the bonus mana regen or gold/min the supportcucks were ready to riot

valve sensed the growing animosity and tension amongst the supportcuck ranks who were tired of being the carry's poop buckets so they threw them a bone to give them a better shot at getting an item and feeling useful

the other talents were just slopped together to fill in the supportcuck bonus gaps

>>169103374
i wouldnt be surprised but this also ruins the role of supports, which is what i described earlier.

some people play mid rubick but it's bad.
if you don't like pulling, stacking and warding then don't play rubick. or just stop being a shitter.

I just want to see people complaining about the game. Valve has done literally everything in its power to ruin it and no one says anything

Its baffling not a single the game has gone to shit thread

>get silky smooth 20-25 fps pre 7.00
>literally single digit fps after 7.00, making the game absolutely unplayable

oh well, guess not playing for year or so until i get new computer might be actually good thing

>>169115658
the game is fine you ninny

>>169115658
then were where you the last 4 years

you do know people here complained about eveyr single patch, then 5 patches later they praised the patches they first complained about

its just how dota is, in dota 1 it was the same thing

the game is dying for 12 or whatever years straight

Immortal gardens made them a ton of cash. It might be hard to top that.

When will pros re-discover the best and most well-balanced dota2 heroes, Tauren Chieftain? He can build either veil or medallion to amplify his aura, making it the most broken aura in the entire game, especially mid to late game.

>its just how dota is, in dota 1 it was the same thing
I played tons of dota 1 and this is a lie every patch was a coming of christ and if shit was OP it would get nerfed in the following days

and as for dota it only happened during major changes like 78 to 79. The game has become so simplified all heroes play the same and the only single strategy of memefighting is allowed , thats way worse than anything bad in all the previous patches

dota 1 was the shit man, instead of mmr you wager your pride every game (inb4 cringe, but it's true), so people actually tried to win their games. Dota 1 was very hard to get into, but once you're in there's no going out

ay yo Grant Grand will you be casting some doter games today? that would be so much fun for me Grand Grant, I would have a good time, your steream is always a lot of fun to wath and listen right now there is only sing *sigh*

>>169116084
you need to remove those nostalgia glasses from your face

literally never in history of dota there were more playstyles viable than right now

it ALWAYS was just one shitty thing you had to do or lose, always, from 4p1 in early days to splitpushing alliance to 15min vg thrones, you didnt play that you lost to them

only literally in the last year or two that started to change, never also so many heroes were viable, you used to ban ALWAYS THE SAME HEROES NO MATTER WHAT, now teams started to ban out players instead of the obvious op champs because there arent that many and its not as obvious

i played dota 1 when dota 2 was coming out, people were shitting on dota 2 from the very first day always praising the first one while it was shit, now you praise the shitty early dota 2 that was literally braindead afk ricing or splitpushing or suicidng for raxes and 15min thrones

i know arguining with people deluded like you is pointless so i will stop, continue posting your tix will never have a bigger prizepool than tiy, even if it failed 4 times in a row it has to work one day right?

POST MMR GRINDING TUNES

its worth it though because now you get 3 projectiles instead of 1 lmao

>>169116563
You say that but you know dota as a spectacle peaked at ti3 and went downhill since

>>169116563
>literally never in history of dota there were more playstyles viable than right now
Literally anything pre .84 had more playable shit than everything that came after

>it ALWAYS was just one shitty thing you had to do or lose, always, from 4p1 in early days to splitpushing alliance to 15min vg thrones, you didnt play that you lost to them
Bullshit VG lost the finals pretty badly, in TI3 and early people weren't good enough and even then everyone had a playstyle

In TI4 literally everything worked

now its memefight or lose

>dota 1
>Shit
>So good it got bought up and remade and had dozen of millions of players

well dota 1 was super elitist and if you fucked up you would be kicked from the lobby thanks to all the banlists that started to pop, people liked to collect bans too

>>169116757
yeah i loved ti3 finals doesnt mean the game was absolute fucking trash compared to what it is right now

>>169116845
yeah vg lost to newbee that did the same shit as them
will you just ignore how vg destroyed eveyr other team and how EVERY OTHER FUCKING TEAM STARTED TO COPY THEM BECUASE THERE WAS NO WAY OF BEATING THAT PLAYSTYLE?

literally the SAME THING happend to alliance, you either played like them or lost like a retard because there was no other way of playing dota


i loved play station 1 games, i literally loved them and were one of those "they just dont make games like they used to man" retard

then i bought a ps1, played some games i remember loving and realized they were pure garbage and i only think of them like i do becuase i am literally retarded and have huge nostalgia glasses

if we could play older dota you would realise how fucking terrible it is
