What is the modern Invoker build? Q/W or Q/E
Slacks is fucking disgusting.
Him being a headliner personality is a fucking stain to the game. His persona is abrasive as fuck, he's a funny-noise guy which would be fine if he actually good at it, and his whole deal is being loud, inflammatory, and saying awful things. He's not even fucking smart when he says outrageous offensive shit; it's dumb lowest-common-denominator crap.
I'm fine if you like that sort of shit; there is a place for that for that audience. But you don't give a dipshit like that a fucking OFFICIAL platform at the International. It's goddamn unprofessional the things that comes out of that man's mouth.
I'm sitting there at TI 2016 and this retard is there in an official capacity with zero improv skills and professional conduct. At absolutely no time were you convinced his schtick was an act; he is actually that horrible and for some fucking reason people love him for it. Fat jokes and racism - his repertoire is pathetic.
>>183169553

or just gut the damage from by half or something and make it work off your attack damage stat
>>183169593
Reduced Damage.
Instantly destroy illusions.
>>183170290
There isn't really a straight up counter (except maybe Viper but then you have to play Viper for the rest of the game) but there are plenty of heroes that can draw even or get more farm out of the lane. It's pretty hard to push her out and ganking her is optimistic, but a hero like Lina can push the wave harder and eventually out-cs her. I also think Puck is quite good because she can only use right clicks to harass you.
>tfw no cell phone
>stuck playing unranked for the foreseeable future
>>183170290
Heroes with okay attack animation and 600 range.
Rotations to secure runes
Heroes that can push tower and start damaging it in the mere 15 seconds she leaves, to secure runes.
>>183170627
Is it worth it to play Puck at 3k or do I need to play a less subtle hero and carry with brute force?

Based on Dotabuff stats, TA, Viper, Huskar, Meepo, and Medusa are among the top 10 heroes that are best against QoP.
>>183170290
Brew's pretty good but if you don't know how to play the hero you're fucked.
Bloodseeker's good too if you know how to control creep aggro.
>>183170290
Puck
>>183170290

Why aren't you playing me mid?
I really wish there was a minor patch pre-TI.
Heroes like Sven/Necro/Pudge/Invoker/Spirit Breaker etc really need a nerf
>>183171776
I agree with the rest but I'm not entirely sold on TA. I think a good TA will beat a mediocre QoP but it's still a tough matchup. You have to get Meld early to dodge Shadow Strike and probably invest in an Orchid too. It's not terrible but whenever I play TA I don't feel super good about going against QoP.
>>183171354
Puck can carry games but you do have to rely on your teammates to take objectives and so on. Judge for yourself, personally I think Puck is great but it doesn't work for everyone and in every team. Going for a damage build (veil, dagon) is really good against squishy targets.

Hey, I played a lot of Dota in TFT, never touched Dota 2, mostly because it would never run on the shitty laptops I had. How hard is it to get into now? Do you think it's worth it?

HOW TO WEAVER MID
>>183174051
pa = good TA
>>183174138
i have this one
>>183175073
10/10 taste
>>183175052
Just because they both have assassin in their name doesn't mean they play anything like each other.
>>183174138
Nope
>>183175134
>they both have their peak at similar timing/networth (blink/deso vs vlads/deso)
>both have shitload of physical damage early on
>both should be played at mid
>both can scale OK into the lategame but prefer to end the game just right after their desolator purchase
i see plenty of similarities in their playstyles, unless of course you are one of these famous 2k players who build battlefury on PA
>>183175134
they do play similar, both 2 shot supports, except ta is good at farming and doing Roshan also
>>183175570
>>183175670
I am a TA spammer and I don't think PA is even remotely similar. PA has a much later power spike and scales much better too. TA is more of an early teamfight and objective killing hero, PA doesn't hit buildings well at all. TA also has much more reliable damage and is much tankier early on while PA gets there later.
>>183174090
70% spell lifesteal lmao60% is still good
What are /d2g/s opinions on Fnatic and Xctn and predictions about them going into TI?
>>183175875
teach me your ways
how fucked are you if you pick her early into the draft because your retarded supports cant deicide whenever they want to play cm or lina?
>>183171221
It's below 1k, abandon all reason and hope.
>>183176143
If you play her enough you'll figure out how to deal with most of her counters pretty decently. I don't like picking TA early but it's not the end of the world. You do decently against pretty much every hero in the lane and can straight up dominate a lot of them. If you know your timings well and are able to communicate with your team you can end games very fast. In the 4-5K range people still don't really know how to play against TA so they pick squishy heroes and feed you early every time. Just remember that you shouldn't fall for the ganking meme, farm your items and fight with your team instead. TA is very vulnerable to being focused by multiple heroes even if she's top of the net worth (which she should be every game).
tl;dr for playing ta
>win your lane
>stack ancients when you go for runes
>bottle->treads->desolator->blink every game
>take mid tower early if opponents lets you
>take roshan with desolator
>group up with your team and start pushing towers down
>let team initiate in fights, identify highest priority target, blow them up and use spill damage to wreck their team in seconds
>never get caught alone pushing a lane or something
Do all this and you can consistently win under 30 minutes.
Which of the Pros check out /d2g/ do any of them? Or are they all redditguys?
>>183176956
I've never seen anything smart posted regarding the game so I really doubt it
>>183176143
>because your retarded supports cant deicide whenever they want to play cm or lina?
It's because your supports are playingCKandAM
>>183176783
In sub 1k, Bfury PA is viable as shit.

why does every single time losing team says some shit like "gg end" they suddenly have a comeback
>>183178283
retards think they won and do stupid plays, never fall for the "gg end go mid" bait, play normally even if youre miles ahead
>>183178283
winning team gets overconfident, overextend a bit and die with a streak and big net worth advantage

Icons and stat display should ALWAYS be white or clearly indicated.
Invert those. add a little more design to the boxes that contain stat numbers.
>>183182074
What are those white lines in the skill bars? Skills/perks you unlock when you reach that bar or?
Also im not really sure what exactly is that bar at the bottom and how exactly can you increase/add points, the color layout is bit weird as well maybe, the stat thing below the bars is maybe too dim on the right where the number is, if you make the number more bright it might be good and the colors in the bars above are bit too dim as well i feel

>>183183409
This is for an extremely watered down table top dota 2 game. For HP, mana, and armor, each hero's starting amount is highlighted in the appropriate color, and the dividing lines determine how much more of a maximum that hero gets after leveling up. (There are 4 level ups possible, which are the equivalent of 10,15,20, and 25)
this is how i imagine myself with d2g in every new thread

lorewise voker is a battle mage - aka doent rely on magical damage.
if you play the game voker handles himself with am because of coldsnap and defeaning blast
its not 1-0 scenario but rather skill based matchups

Guys I just started playing Meepo and I seem to do pretty well but I dont slaughter like msot 5k+ meepo spammers.
I find I get levels mid (but usually die during this phase), then I farm jungle super fast and get core items like blink, then i gank and get kills.
But I still dont understand what the spammers do to snowball. Do they just avoid the early deaths during laning phase because I farm blink super fast?
Like tl;dr me the process of how meepo is played in an average game based on timings.
I know ink always leaves one mid while hes ganking lanes. Some people rush scepter others like abed rush lance into blink.

Dota hasn't been so far away from being rock papper scissors than it is today. Almost anything can work and there are very few hard counters that you can't itemize or play around.
Honestly other than a few outliers (Invoker, Pudge, Sven, Spirit Breaker etc), this is the most balanced dota has ever been.
>>183194957

I have a strange phenomena going on. I can practice last hitting and I get a perfect score without dropping any last hits. When I get into a game, I miss last hits constantly. Is my brain too small to focus on multiple things at once?

I've only ever bought the very first battlepass.
I sell the treasures and buy the cosmetics I want, and save enough for the next battlepass
>>183198527
You sendyour pet cuckfor regen because in the early game levels tend to be more important than items for letting you contest a lane. If you take the walk of shame you waste gold AND xp. If you're a competent carry the salve should guarantee you at least a couple of waves of creeps.
>>183200614
just because you are using "profit" to continue to fund your battlepasses does not change the fact you are still giving valve money

Battlefury cleave got nerfed to the ground so it's not really viable anymore. Magic Ember got buffed to make up for it. And then nerfed again. I think now people build him to be kind of a hybrid with magic damage focus in the early game and some right click (crit) for late game. That's what I'm seeing at least. He's kind of in a weird place right now.

Don't say it. Everything good we have we got from Swedes. Theirs stems from the ancient language of kings. Ours is a peasants bastard langauge that didn't even have a standardized written form 200 years ago.

Interesting. Is this a good talent selection (picture)?
I saw Miracle get even a Shiva's Guard on the hero. He seems to be a magic/utility core now. Maybe even Sheep Stick is not a bad item for the ultra late game to kill targets before BKB activation. Core items are probably Aquila/BoT/Veil, extension items probably Manta Style, Blink Dagger, Octarine Core

https://www.twitch
.tv/btsclassic
Speaking of they've started a channel of old dota streams going as far back as 5 years agoold NA liquid vs the fuccbois on now
>>183206713
But if you buy items like shiva's guard and sheep stick, the cooldown reduction will stack with the octarine core leading to very low cooldown spamming items
>>183206526
I'd probably get the damage since that's a big amount at level 10 and it'll help with crits later. Definitely stats over movespeed because you're already an annoying little bitch. I'd take armor over flame guard but both are good and you should probably do it based on whether the team is more magic focused or not. Ember's cooldowns aren't terrible, take the 2s on searing chains because that's huge. Plus it even has a shorter downtime than you'd get from the cooldown reduction if you're chasing a single target.
>>183206817
learn to post links properly you subhuman
>>183206526
Maybe, I haven't played him for a couple of months. I see most people picking up the +30 damage talent. Level 20 and 25 talents are probably both pretty situational.

HOLD THE FUCKIN' PHONE CAUSE IM GONNA TEACH YOU HOW TO FISH MAN
Slark may be a low skill cap hero but goddamnit if he isn't one of the most fucking fun heroes to play and, assuming you're good at thinking on your feet, this motherfucker cannot die.
WHEN TO PICK SLARK
The supports on the enemy team will matter a lot more to you than the enemy cores because they will most likely have the actual disables on the team. There's always doom and rupture to think about, but so long as the enemies have weak disabling supports (Venge, Veno, WD, ect.) Slark will always have a good time. The only cores you should really watch out for is Anti Mage because late game he'll be too tanky for you to keep continuously locked down on your own.
WHERE DO I GO WITH SLARK?
Safelane. ALWAYS the safelane. Slark is a weak laner who's early leveling only does more damage to himself. Pounce is not an excuse to take him into the offlane, and he cannot trade effectively with most mid laners. If you want to play Slark, safe lane is the only good option.
WHAT THE FUCK AM I LEVELING ANON
Level 1 you have one of two options depending on who your enemy offlaner is. Do your supports have good early stuns and is the enemy a melee hero? Definitely grab essence shift level 1 because you will always win a trade with a melee hero at low level if you're sapping 3 stats on every hit. Otherwise, always get pounce level one, chasing a low hp hero or getting out, its too good to ignore.
After that you'll want to max dark pact, not so much to use in lane, but to flash farm. Have your support stack camps for you so as soon as you hit level 7 and max out dark pact you can begin taking camps, using your ult passive to heal up in between. After that you'll be wanting to max pounce. The damage has suffered in the past few patches but the low cooldown of 8 seconds at max level is too good to ignore and will allow you to weave in and out of battle and over cliffs.

>>183216302
(2/2)
WHAT THE FUCK AM I LEVELING ANON (Cont.)
Essence shift has by far the weakest scaling and should be maxed last, and ultimate should obviously be taken at all normal levels. In short, have 1 level of everything by level 3, max dark pact, then pounce, then shift, with taking ulti and talents whenever they're available.
WHAT TO BUY ON SLARK
Early game is pretty standard agi carry. Tangoes and Slippers into a PMS, along with Treads and Aquila. This should always be your opening move unless you're up against, say a bristle, then you can substitute the ring for a wand, but you should never get both, it delays your item timing which is key for slark. A sub 15 min shadowblade should always be your goal (some people like blink and i dont think its bad, its definitely the better choice in some games, but shadowblade is my personal choice). After SB you'll have to make a decision based on what you need. Echo Sabre is a great standard item, the double hit for double stat steal, along with the mana regen and extra strength will keep slark out of the fountain even less, mana being his primary reason for going back. If the enemies have easy ways of breaking your pounce leash, you can substitute the echo sabre for orchid or, in extremely rare (and i would not recommend this) cases, you can go sheep stick. After that its a matter of what you need. Fighting a lot of melee carries? Basher. Are you insanely ahead already and looking to close out the game? Moonshard. Don't really know what to buy? Skadi. Skadi is always a safe bet. Anything after this is luxury and there's no real bad carry item option. The only one i'd seriously recommend staying away from is daedelus. Just focus on items that grant you both strength and agility.
WHAT ABOUT TALENTS?
15 Damage
15 Agility
25 Attack Speed

Its boring but this will make you much more potent in fight to fight

What the fuck does Valve even do as a company.
Dota gets updates at a Snail's fucking pace.
There is so fucking much they could improve in this fucking game, yet it get's updated like 4 times a year tops, and then it's only ever for cosmetic garbage.
Why is Ranked matchmaking such a shitshow.
Literally every "e-Sport" game has a better dedicated competitive mode than Dota 2 does.
Leavers, account buyers, Intentional abusers and feeders, etc. still don't get punished hard enough.
The New Player experience is non-existant
Well really, I could go on...

>>183219871
Yeah I'm better now. Just came off one game as lina. Stomped mid, racked kills, pushed the shit out of the lanes with BoT. We lost somehow. Still trying to wrap my head around it. I seriously can't find the reason. I dropped after I started climbing and and started actually getting better at it, but then it all falls apart, no matter how hard I push, how many teamfights we win, how many times I spam "Push now!", I still manage to lose. Just got under 49% global winrate on DB. Pretty sure the game wants me to quit it, but I'll continue at least until the end of TI. Tomorrow I'll start griefing ranked games because why the fuck not.

The problem with Dota is more leavers are punished too hard while ruiners are not punished
Abandoning needs to be much less strict, reporting obviously needs to be overhauled but Valve clearly do not care, so the easier win is just make it simpler for me to leave the fucking game, and it might encourage the ruiners to leave instead, so i can again just queue up a new one.

Ranked is the only game mode that I give a shit about in Dota.
In normal queue, people play like shit.
Arcade game modes are ded, and just shitty custom mods from WC3.

No, I'm not raging, I'm not autistic enough to actually grief games honestly, I was just venting. I'm just spent. I don't even know how winning feels like, haven't won a game in over 3 weeks.

>>183221353
Visage needs level 6 asap and has great scalling with items which he needs to get in a timely manner. You won't get neither xp nor items playins a sup 5 visage. Visage is much like Venomancer in the sense that they can be occasionally played as supports but it's a huge waste of potential.
Just check Visage's winrate per lane. It's almost a 10% discrepancy between Visage mid and Visage offlane/safelane (in which he's likely played in a support position).

spoiler alert: I dipped in 1.4k tonight, now I'm just seeing how low I can go without losing my mind. Also I'll repeat my question. I'm from EU, yet I can't find any US games, despite having decent ping. What gives?

Woah, hello Fiora
what the fuck happened with the tooltips dotards
>>183173707
If you're familiar with the concept of lanes and farming and pushing etc. then all you have to do is
1. try the heroes
there is 113
2. each has at least 4 abilities
learn how they work
3. there are 132 items
learn how they work
how they're built
and
how they interact with the abilities
4. learn how different combitions of abilities, items and heroes interact.
5. read the wiki for trivia like attack speed, turn rates, animation lenght, commands etc.
each game takes about 25-60 minutes, so with the picking and queuing and READING WIKI it's easily going to be 500+ hours before you play a good game with each hero, and that is if you even dare try them all. it's very doable but it's a time investment before you even know if you like it. it usually takes me about 10 games to feel comfortable on a hero. it took me 1000 hours to even realize why I was shit.

her mother is the asian
>>183226235
so shes the fuckedup kind
>>183226127
clearly not
look at it this way bu order of intelligence its
asians
whites
niggers
M asian F white = good
F asian M white = bad
same thing applies down the ladder
M white F nigger = good, have one of the lowest divorce rates (example, david bowie)
F white M nigger = dirty low class race mixers single mothers
white men who dates asians are like the niggers who dates white women
>>183225689
Sinned is literally Emma's eyebrows with kelly's everything else

>>183226746
Makes sense because the head of household (the smarter partner) has to be the man, otherwise its dysfunctional.
>>183226404
Its kind of this but think about it this way.
Think about the kind of asian man who could land a white woman.
Think about the kind of white man who either fetishizes or has to settle for an asian woman.
Example A = Alpha male
Example B = low test beta retard weeb degenerate
Obviously the children will be influenced by this.

Keeper of the Light is the best hero title in this game. In my opinion, of course.
