The fuck, Valve?

The open qualifiers for Dota 2’s Kiev Major were an opportunity for teams and players throughout the world to earn a shot at one of the biggest prize pools in esports. According to tournament organizer FACEIT it drew the most teams of any open qualifier for a Valve event yet, with over six thousand teams across the globe entering the various regional qualifiers. Unfortunately, even in an esteemed tournament, large crowds can draw troublemakers.

Case in point: a team called ‘Holocaust N****rs’ was able to progress through the first five rounds of the European open qualifiers. When a Reddit user drew attention to the team's name in a thread that has since disappeared, outrage and debate followed as the team continued through the event. The matter even drew ire from OG player Fly.

Many on Reddit and Twitter found themselves wondering where the FACEIT admins were during this period. When reached out for comment, a representative for the site explained that the team had worked around the administrators by using the offensive name in match lobbies. When used as a lobby team name, the FACEIT tournament system wouldn’t display the name to human FACEIT admins.

mc fuck yourself bro

Hey guys,

Is there anyway that flaming your teammates could improve your chances of winning? I'm pretty salty about having teammates who always go at each other. Obviously it happens to the enemy team as well so I don't think it impacts my win/loss overall but I don't understand what people expect to gain from flaming each other. Am I missing something that could be gained from flaming or are these people just dumb? Does it ever stop or is it this way at every MMR?

>>171719965
How can you not find this interesting?

>>171720060

Post terrible gametypes

>>171720060
There's an easy way to deal with this. You start by building team morale with a few comments/talking on mic a bit, and when shit goes down you take it on yourself. So long as you don't mind being flamed just apologise for the stupidest shit and tell people you'll back them up. My guess is that it makes them feel guilty as they know it's their fuckup, and then they try harder.

>>171720060
Tell them to just mute each other and just play. Let's just win and u never have to be in the same game again.

There are ofc the atomic retards, even I couldn't contain myself when our Zeus flat out refused to deward, he wouldn't even ult when it would mean he got a 1-2 free kill. That's how retarded he was.

>games are around an hour long and mistakes can ruin a good game before that

but you are right that it happens on the other team as well. If you play the peace making middle man you will earn a lot of commends I will guarantee you that. In dota especially in low mmrs the team that loses their cool first throws the game.

one man is only 20 percent of a dota team, you need your teammates as much as they need you.

When you get pants-on-head retarded players who counterpick themselves, feed like crazy, dont use their abilities.

They are a 4 stack in "high skill" who play worse than 2k randoms.

It doesn't matter if you pick carry and dont fuck up, because they will die 9 times in the first 7 minutes and not deny a single creep.

Try to hook inbetween the enemy heros and cog, so even if one person gets forcestaffed out, you split the fight and seperate them.

Also some games it's not even your job to catch somebody out, sometimes you hang back and forcestaff your own carry if they get gone own, or just save hook to interrupt sf's ult in bkb.

I think he's pretty shit and nothing more than a nuisance, but sometimes he's super fucking annoying early game carry.

>>171724502
If the enemy carry is soft and you have someone with a stun offlane with you

>>171724270
Honestly though, if you're a bad mid then don't mid. Mid ins't an "ah well I'm gonna kick back and maybe win this lane I don't know who cares", but more like "I'm going to win this lane, every game. I'll hit my timings and take objectives to get that mmr".
I get pretty tilted when I check mid's dotabuff and it's like loss loss loss win loss loss and he has a shit KDR and cs score.

Does Gabe really think nobody realizes what he's doing here? I mean, you can punish leavers by sending them to the shadow realm to suffer and shit, but stealthy matching someone with ruiners is really low, if you ask me. Instead of being such a fucking rat about it, he could at least say it up–front, like: "In the next 5 games, as punishment, you will be matched with players who have very low individual win rate, take note!". Overall - very distasteful.

What is even the purpose of the last remaining orb effects?
Heroes that remain:
>anti-mage
>outworld devourer
>sand king
>drow ranger
Items that remain:
>blight stone/desolator
>morbid mask/mask of madness/satanic

For am and od most people said that skadi would make them broken, guess it didn't. Skadi or deso was also the argument for heroes like huskar, clinkz, ursa or broodmother and neither turned out to be broken. Drow ranger orb is basically the same as viper and he is also not broken. Sand king orb is just straight up dumb.
For items all the possible skadi combinations also work nowadays only combining lifesteal and corruption doesn't. For what purpose?

No remaining orb makes sense anymore.

>>171735093
Team consists of
>magnus
>sven with aghs
>doom with vlads and wolf
>venge
>be tiny
>hit for 1k+ dmg
>buy aghs
>one shot any tower

>>171727304
Magnus' story is an allegory for African slavery.

His people were all captured by a slave master but he has no idea it happened because no one was left behind like what happened in Africa hundreds of years ago when hunting parties of African men came back to their villages totally abandoned.

>>171737768
there's still no %-based on-hit effect that silences the target when you hit him

>>171737768
desolator and morbid mask/satanic combo sounds too good for some heroes, like PA or ursa, but for the rest i have no idea why are they orbs

this newbee vgj game is quite good.

>>171737768
deso + lifesteal is too strong a combo in terms of dps/survivability, especially since deso got so much cheaper
as for heroes, they are probably gonna get phased out eventually, especially on sand king, but imagine if OD could get skadi, that shit would be disgusting, riterarry perfect item for him, AND he gets to kite people through bkb
not fun!

Same argument there ever was "sounds too good".
In reality it wouldn't change much, deso gets outclassed as a dps item by daedalus anyway. Pa has lifesteal through talents, ursa would be the only one that actually profits and might change his itembuild in the lategame. Blink, bkb, deso, abyssal and boots already occupy 5 slots, you gotta choose if you want aghs or lifesteal.

>>171738930
i don't think skadi is that great for him, kiting with his shitty range is very problematic, shiva/bkb/linken offer much better survivabilty and you should buy attack speed items if you want more damage
>>171739007
>hero with average agility gain and standard basic attack time that burns 48 mana per hit vs hero with good agility gain with 1.45 bat that burns 64 mana per hit

sometimes dota is fun

>>171739007
trick question
AM has quicker base attack speed so he will outburn OD given infinite time and same attackspeed modifiers

>>171739268
>deso gets outclassed as a dps item by daedalus anyway
lmao no it fucking isnt, deso works on towers and is cheap enough that you can go deso + bkb or blink or whatever without beeing greedy in the midgame, but not daedalus

I agree with you overall that most orb effect interactions are probably going to get phased out and theres hardly any broken new builds that would happen, except with deso + lifesteal
old deso + lifeasteal? not op, but new, cheap deso + lifesteal? nah son, that shits scary
heroes like troll, ursa and huskar(would allow him to wrek buildings and fight bkb heroes much better) sounds like a balance headache waiting to happen, which is why I imagine its taking so long to remove orb effects alltogether

you could pick unduying or jakiro or lich or any other strong lane dominating support and double penetrate their slark (or whoever that slardar was feeding) butthole but you choose to play one of the slowest and least useful jungler instead

>>171737904
So the true evil of Dota 2 is the white man...

No wonder Valve doesn't give a fuck about the US

>>171739458
Neither troll nor huskar would go for deso simply because you could stack it with lifesteal. If you want boots, morbid, deso thats already 6.2k networth if you rush it. Then you have 0 stats, no utility, mobility or survivability, you at least need a bkb to even do anything. So that makes it 10.1k networth to make the combo work.
Seems god awful to me and like I said before only lategame ursa thinks about it.

I'm telling you if deso stacked with lifesteal and/or skadi you'd see trolls with des + hotd REK games for quite some time untill it would get Icefrog'd somehow (and if you're wondering why Im saying deso + hotd its because you can get satanic or skadi later on for survivability later on since deso doesnt cuck your two main survivability items away from you)
im sure huskars, ursas and even AM's would find ways to make deso situationally broken since its so easy and easy to implement into most builds since its fuckin cheap

:thinking:

>>171754601
"forced 50" is not a thing but gaining mmr is basically valve saying "You think your gud kid? try to carry these retards" and if you win, bam plus 25. if you lost minus 30.

>>171754464
I prefer to play support in solo. I'm generally better at it, I've got my pulls and harass down pat. I have no trouble keeping wards on the map and I'm thick skinned enough that pingspam doesn't get to me. Plus, some supports are literally broken, like Lion's thousand-year disable at level 2, or LOOK AT IT GO
Last-hitting and trading right clicks is really tedious to me, and playing as an underfarmed carry with a shit support is no fun at all. As a support I have much more control over how my team does at all stages of the game except maybe the very late stage.
I wish Rhasta would get buffed, though. Damage increase is nice, but he's still a shit hero, and he's so much fun.

His w should work like Abbadon's ult but instead of healing him it just keeps him alive or something like that.

As much as I hate LoL for its gameplay I have to admit they have better skins, I want some seasonal skins like summer beach party ones that LoL has i think they have Sailor Moon skins as well.

His ult applies a mini-grave that lasts 2 seconds. Can be purged.
That or it triggers when he would otherwise die.

he is fine

Ive always hovered around 3.5k-4k. After some bad luck and some tilt ive found myself in the 2.5k bracket. It feels like a completely different game, and i dont like it. People get toxic much more quickly and throw games. And the drafts/picks really suck. Any tips on getting myself the fuck outta here as quickly as possible ?
