I love Dota. It's what has killed my EVE Online career. I've only played like 100 games as well, but I'm getting there.
Haven't played any ranked matches yet so I have no idea of my MMR.
My Steam ID is Katushkin, and my picture is an Eve Online Portrait (Y)
We should totally form a group on steam as well so we can know who is who and not block people who we don't recognise

Don't worry. MMR doesn't say ****, be it solo or team MMR. Dendi said in his stream chat it's based on such bad calculations and average numbers, like GPM and XPM, imagine you're a support in all your calibration games.
It's just terrible. The really high peaking players sure are good, but otherwise, the MMR number is inaccurate. I have two accounts with very seperate MMRs, and i don't troll on either of them. I play serious and to have two so different numbers doesn't feel right.
You can notice by the way a player moves, positions himself and tons of other stuff how good he is. Not by MMR.
So don't worry about it, just play the game:) :thumb:
Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 25 March 2014, 15:04:23
I play fairly different heroes depending on the account, so I'd say the system is decently accurate.

Post by: isaske on Tue, 25 March 2014, 15:28:07
Imagine if you go on a 6 game losing streak during your calibration games.
That has happened already. Some people posted on reddit their calibration matches, how many they won and how many they lost, what heroes they played, their XPMs and GPMs, etc..
The people that played mostly supports in their calibration matches and went on a losing streak so they had a bad XP and GPM reported that their MMR was ranked lower than expected. Those people all had more than one account with a different MMR.
I don't know, I know many people that have a decent MMR but are bad, and many people that are decent but have a bad MMR. It's a bit harsh to say it's very inaccurate, but the system definitely dissapoints at times.
Post by: isaske on Tue, 25 March 2014, 15:30:01
Yeah. Might also depend on what stacks you played with before, when the MMR was still hidden. There are many factors, I guess.Imagine if you go on a 6 game losing streak during your calibration games.I actually lost every single one of my calibration games, placed me slightly above 4k.
Still, I think that it's dumb to just judge by MMR, you can say how good a player is once you get a chance to play with him and observe his actions/movements.

Rusty.
Partial party with steam friends that I haven't seen in a while.
Played random draft.
Team picked poorly and didn't coordinate choices during drafting.
Bad team composition. Lost badly.
Partial group went to bed, leaving my friend and I remaining.
Played single draft.
In-fighting among team. Internet Squabbling.
No wards. No Crow. Lost badly.
Friend joked that those last 2 games were some of the worst he's ever played in a while.
Friend convinced to try out ranked matches. "Trust me, you won't feel as bad losing in ranked because it won't be because of a **** team".
Two of us went into a ranked game. My first one!
Communication, wards. Wow
Some weird stuff ensues.
We play cohesively. Close game towards the middle. Team actually analyzed stuff and called out plays.
We won.
Huh.

First game I picked up Tiny, managed to farm phase boots and aghanims before level eleven, so I was walking round with a massive tree and a tiny Tiny :) We ended up rolling our opponents in like 25 minutes.
Then yesterday we played a game where we lost all out T1 and T2 towers in the space of about 25 minutes, only taking down a couple of T1s ourselves. I was playing Venge and had some horriffic lag which led to some terrible swaps early game. We spend 20 minutes turtling while our PA got super hench, and we ended up winning after 57 minutes with only two T3s remaining. It was pretty intense.
Then one of my friends got super mad in another game which was really un-fun. I hate it when people take video games so ****ing seriously.

So how does supporting work during calibration? It it based on your "normal" MMR?

I have 3 steam accounts, 1 of them isn't ranked, the one I play the most on is 4.2k, the one I play 2nd most on is 4.1k.
I play fairly different heroes depending on the account, so I'd say the system is decently accurate.
I want to pick your brain on this one since you have 2 accounts and I'm in the middle of calibrating for party MMR.
Do you remember what roles you played on each of the accounts? Were you mostly core heroes or support heroes on each account or did you play a combination of both evenly?
Thanks!
It would be really nice if the same person did 10 calibrations as a core hero only and 10 calibrations as a support hero.
Curious to see how/if roles possibly affect your MMR.
I'd love to see the results.
Although sometimes it's not always easy to pick your desired role.
Another hilarious thing is that in party ranked MMR. The other members in your party can see the MMRs after the match during your calibration games.

Mix of all roles. I play a lot of 1 when I play with friends, but solo I usually play 2 or sometimes even 3 or 4. (you know how the 1-5 system works, yes?)
I think during calibration the hero I played on acc 1 (not yet ranked) was doom, acc 2 was TA, acc 3 was Furion. I jungle a lot, mostly because it's like mid but easier because nobody contests you until you get to ultra high MMR.
The best way to raise your MMR is not to play a certain hero, or a certain role (you should get good at everything!!). It's to have fun, and to have a good mindset going in. If you flame a lot, try drinking tea beforehand, or listening to relaxing music.
If you want a full insight on how to get your MMR up, I'll post one if you ask.

a lot more rare than well mannered players -- they're just a lot more noticeable and have a bigger
impact on you as a whole. A lot of players I run into are quite consistent too.
I also don't think the F2P model has anything to do with player community behavior or skill.
HoN, wasn't originally F2P, and that is one of the biggest toxic waste dumps ever.
And I would argue, LoL is just as bad but because of the the younger audience it caters to -- not F2P.
Speeal aside, I'll be in for a GH stack sometime!

He would use BoT to get to a creep wave, instantly use March of the Machines, blink out to the trees, rearm, MotM, rearm, blink across, MotM, then that ring that takes off your health and gives you mana, bottle charge, rearm, MotM, bottle charge, BoT back to well, rinse and repeat. All the above took less than a minute, and he was able to predict the exact place the next wave of enemy creeps would fight his so he got the perfect placement of his MotM along with his blink, and was out of there before anybody even knew what was going on.
He did this for about ten minutes before being 6 slotted and they eventually won the game. I don't think he's on dotabuff so I can't find the game but it was amazing how he was able to micro manage everything.
Then I watched Dendi play tinker this morning and he just wasn't anywhere near his level.

Then playing as Kunkka, getting multi kills all over the place, including running away, chased by creeps, a Terrorblade and a Bounty Hunter. I turn around, hit the creep, MKB gets me a crit, and the tidebringer cleaves onto the TB and BH, killing them both. So much fun.
I also played a very quick game as Shadow Shaman, which ended with a Naix rage quitting and us winning in 20 minutes.
I do love this game.
Sometimes.

I am on a really good win streak I don't want it to end :( There have been some awesome games. Tried my hand at CK for the first time in a lane with venge. Double stun, double swap, it was bloody great.

So do we know for sure what skills the techies are going to have? I heard something about self destructing? And there are three of them or something? IDK.
Post by: Puddsy on Sat, 26 April 2014, 20:21:46
The first skill is mines, and they hurt. A lot.
second skill is something, I always forget what this is.
3rd skill is a suicide, deals like 600+dmg in a big AoE.
ulti is a 6 second stun. In an AoE.

How does this work, it just bounces around until someone goes there?
Ancients are immune to magic, so they won't die to the chain frost. When someone goes to farm them, the frost will start to bounce off the ancients, back and forth, and because you usually go in to kill them and don't usually pay attention, it will bounce a hell of a lot of times and kill you, then keep bouncing :)
However it makes a really loud noise, so if you DO pay attention, you should realise when there is a chain frost. I know on the dire side you can hear the frost bouncing off ancients when you are by the bottom lane's T1 tower.

His ult is good even without the aghs.. It's an anti-heal which is fantastic against Morph. The reason Top5 lost that game though was because they didn't do anything
with their advantage -- a problem that most amateur teams have, which is capatalizing on their gains to push through late-mid/late game. Liquid have a lot of experience
players so they were able to take advantage of that fact.
It also didn't help that AA missed like.. all of his ults even with the aghs lol.
AA is also picked for his tri-lane presence as well. Chilling touch is like a free DD on three heroes during laning phase.
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 13 May 2014, 21:38:47
He still wouldn't be my first pick as a support. I would probably go for Dazzle first pick because of the super heals as well.
Yeah, it's a good ulti, but until you get aghs, it doesn't really do very much unless you manage to land it on someone who is really squishy or is really low.

I really hope NSA get through in the second round of qualifiers, they were really entertaining to watch.
Hopefully Liquid get rekd in this bo3 against NAR
Also, could we get this moved to the "other geeky things" subforum? Because it seems to just get buried in here. Plus the LoL one is in there too.
Mods = gods
I think SNA are out. :( Liquid and NAR are playing now. 1-1 atm. Winner goes TI but second place goes to TI to play a 4 way qualifier with SEA, CN and EU teams. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

What I want to know, is how do you guys map your keys? Do you stick to the default QWER for skills and ZXCVBN for items or go something different?
I have taken to changing my Q to CAPS, my lvlup to 1 and stats then to 2, and my top left item is now my space bar.
Repost from pg. 2:
This is how I use it. Note that my capslock is mapped to backspace.
(http://i.imgur.com/Kv9XUH9.png)
Skill level up can also be done by pressing Ctrl+<QWER> for those who don't know - hence why I just left it as the default 'O'
I also highly recommend binding quick/sticky buys too to some nearby key to buy-out before deaths.
Move command is still applicable for those weird times when you need it but leaving it as 'M' is just fine (e.g. scout/following with lycan wolves, illusion tanking rs, etc.)
Select Hero is set to 1 since I feel that F1 is too far away to be double tapping. It's really important to get use to scouting around the screen and tapping back to your hero.
Select courier is set to G since it's an easily accessible button which is still hard to misclick. Also, I leave 2-6 for control groups if I'm playing a micro hero.
I feel with Dota, it's pretty necessary to have a mouse with multiple binds too if you want the maximum flexibility with configs. The two extra mouse buttons I use for item keys
are pretty crucial for me.

My favourite bit was when Rubik stole Black Hole at the end in the pit for the GG. I had been waiting all game for him to steal either that or Ravage. That clutch Flamebreak to stop Enigma's, then the steal and turn around was amazing.

I like watching Chinese and SEA Dota, because at least they pick one or two heroes you don't always see. There are always like 15 always banned or picked in NA or EU qualifiers. Lycan, Ember, Mirana, Tree, Natures, Rubick, Doom, Naga, Puck, etc.

Skills qwer (I still press legacy keys sometimes, especially when playing shadow fiend and ursa)
Items 2,3,d,f,space,alt 1
select hero = 1
Add skill ctrl + z + qwer/ctrl + v(stats)
I think that's about it? Oh I also have auto attack off. That's everything I guess.

Wow, how many accounts do you guys even use to play dota?Show Image(https://38.media.tumblr.com/8a38a2c565fde8f5d2f660c5945712e5/tumblr_n885aiMS6f1sp4awzo1_1280.png)
Does anyone have the Monarch bow from the lifesize Butterfly replica that costed $250? I'll trade all my Clacks for it, so I can continue my dream of owning every item for my waifu. (I'm not serious since I doubt anyone has it :P)
(I am actually still missing the loading screen and bow that came out for the TI4 patch as well as a few pieces to the Black Wind Raven set, and the steamcape, but those I can just grab off the market).

I've got 2. 1 main and 1 smurf. :D
Anyways, anyone watched Titans documentary yet? It's technically last years orange - mushi + yamateh.
As well as Arrow Gaming, that makes 2 Malaysian teams this year. Oh of course not including Mushi (DK) and Chuan (iG).

Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 08 July 2014, 16:00:24
It's still in progress, but why would you ever pick Riki in a pro game... it's as if CIS want Liquid to go through.
I don't.
Riki is actually a fairly good hero if you don't suck and the other team didn't outdraft you
either way I hate liquid
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 08 July 2014, 16:08:03
And I hate Liquid too.
Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 08 July 2014, 16:11:17
You could say that about anybody really, but it is so easy to counter Riki, and you don't even have to do that with picks. I just think he's a bit too much of a pub stomper.
And I hate Liquid too.
maybe hating liquid is a stretch
i hate demon, bulba, and the guy who isn't qojqva or TC (Universe?)
qojqva is just a better player in pubs than pros and TC is too good for that team
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 08 July 2014, 16:14:55
I think I'm leaning more to DK just because Iceiceice is a cool guy and I quite like Mushi. Ferrari is a P cool guy as well.
TL;DR I don't know who I'm supporting. Just not Liquid, C9 or Navi EU.

Whenever there's a naga pick and the game scales into late, i feel so bad for the team on the other side. Playing against naga in a professional enviroment must be frustrating, i imagine.
I dislike Naga picks because it makes the game boring from a spectating perspective. Same with CK. Prophet and tinker at least make for interesting early and mid games, IMHO.

As a navi fan, its sad to say that they have slim a chance this year.
And with the bracketing.. c9 vs navi, EG vs DK. i dont know who to choose.
Well, I have a Navi jersey, and a C9 one coming soon... so I really wouldn't mind whichever wins. Cloud 9 might be the better choice to pick here to advance, however, it's Navi, they almost have the same thing last year, we all thought they were gone for sure when they faced up against Tong Fu or Orange, but they somehow managed to get into Finals.
This is the TI... anyone can win anyone. I'm here to watch! :thumb:

Was so much fun. I don't have time for dota anymore, even if I did unsub from EVE...

And I think if C9 can prevent their Bounty Hunter from being shut down this game, they will win. If Na'Vi kill him early, that's gg to them.

I really hope not. Such an impactful tournament in terms of prize pool as this TI shouldn't have a winner that doesn't really have appealing gameplay and also looks awkward IRL (Let's face it, it's true :D)

I don't think LGD is particularly bad, definitely not as people billed them at least. iG has been inconsistent for a while now, even if they won things like WPC and such.

So I went to go talk with my parents and I come back and LGD won?!?!?!?! WHAT THE **** HAPPENED?!?!?!
DK stalled and went for 2 lanes of racks as 5 when Lycan was down for 60 seconds with no buyback. Should have gone for the GG push.
Then LGD swung it with 3 team fights in the last 10 minutes that gave them 40k xp, forcing all the buybacks. I think icex3 had like 10k gold at the end. I think he should have gone for a deso and sold his blink. They had LGD on the ropes for a good 30 minutes, and there was a point where LGD only had 2 kills in 25 minutes.
100% Game of Throws.

Me and my friends were screaming, "The dream is over", when C9 won 1st game, and then the 2nd game kept the dream alive.. then the 3rd game happen...
I really hope this is a wake up call to NaVi, they are no longer feared. The power is shifting back to China, and EG is the new Alliance/NaVi. And the last game, xboct brewmaster? I'm pretty sure Dendi could do better. Agghhhhhh.. what a lost.

I believe it's due to the lack of scrimming and practice on Na'Vi 's part... or at least that's what they (and other teams) have mentioned.
C9 has been working hard, glad to see that they're advancing.

I am happy that C9 is advancing, because of SingSing. I hope they go all the way, but with the Chinese teams around.. it'll be REALLY hard.

No idea what does that even mean, C9 is NA's strongest LoL team if I'm not wrong, or at least top 3.
C9 Dota is one of the top team in the world.

SingSing had perfect farm early game with no rotation from VG. (That might be because of a single BH, who could be anywhere in the map.)

Playing meepo in pubs is a lot harder than professional games, in pubs you really need to depend on your team to basically give you all the farm you want and look after you 24/7 since everyone would jump on you any time.

Anyway, raising your mmr has nothing to do with picking certain heroes. There were lots of really bad people instapicking ember/ tb when they were stronger and they still suck at those heroes.
If you want to win games, don't miss last hits and don't feed.
Post by: Kraksx on Sun, 20 July 2014, 12:45:22
I am actually surprised that vg lost this. Tidehunter was lvl 6 when doom was 4 while skywrath was lvl 4/5. Maybe I shouldn't expect rotk to try to farm up and play like a real core does.

Very bad, I only play SEA server, and I drop to 4.8k sometimes, then I go back up to 5k, I'm stuck at 5k-5.2k for a very long time too, never got above 5280. Currently 5217. (I play with 180-240 ping)

Sniper was picked by NaVi and Fnatic numerous time, and Fnatic was one of the first to start picking it I think, Alliance was one of them too.

WHY RTZ WHY U PICK ALCHEMIST. WHEN DK WAS IN THE POOL AND THEY HAD SO MUCH PUSH OMFG.
****. Well, well played to VG, I hope they kick Newbee's ass with a super fast push strat.
I am liking ROTK more and more though, I think he's a p cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

At least my number 1 prediction was right, but that was one of the worst finals I've ever seen. The draft is so stupid, it's like basically telling Newbee "here, have this 5mil".

Post by: Candyflip on Mon, 21 July 2014, 17:54:41
Only thing going for it besides maybe the Arena this year was the prize pool which was obviously way bigger and slightly better distributed than TI3. I am pretty disappointed from a viewer standpoint, but that is maybe because last year was way too epic to repeat :)

- Firstly, because almost nobody wanted Newbee to win. The whole racism thing followed them like a dark cloud, and the fact that their strategy is so different from the Chinese Dota everyone is used to, which a lot of people hated. Which leads me to my next point...
- The fast push strats that Newbee put to good use, do not make for good viewing. The game Vici won was the best of the series, probably because it was the only one to go over 25 minutes. As much as people hated on 90 minute Chinese Dota, I think it would have made for a more enjoyable final. Games that go late, where one awesome team fight can result in the game being lost, rather than 20 minutes of towers falling, and one team resigning to the fact they are going to lose. People say it means there are more kills and more things happening. Their last game vs EG I think, ended 6-1 on kills. Objective based gaming.
- And finally, if you are losing based on your previous strategy, DON'T DRAFT THE SAME ****ING HEROES AGAIN. As soon as Vici drafted a Furion as first pick in the last game, I pretty much knew it was over. You can't beat an early game push strat with another early game push strat. It will never work. Newbee were just way better than Vici at pushing and rolling over them, and there was nothing Vici could do. I dont think I've ever seen a 15 minute gg call in a Grand Finals final game, but that's what happened.
I didn't even keep it on to watch the montage.
Also, I haven't yet watched the C9 Meepo game, but I think the EG vs DK matches were still the best series of the tournament.
Post by: Puddsy on Sat, 26 July 2014, 11:29:38
it's just boring dota, there's no way around it
and the chinese communities know that it was boring dota, hell, even VG knew it was boring dota.
everything is back to normal (mostly) now, so hopefull we'll get some good dota going again soon
especially with 6.82 on the horizon.
Post by: katushkin on Sat, 26 July 2014, 11:43:14
I really hope they nerf those heroes that are constantly banned/picked in pro games and buff some who have fallen by the way side.
I think Lycan needs something doing to him, and Void could use a lower base damage and a longer CD on his chrono. Maybe something with Doom too.
I am excited for patch notes for sure.

I wasn't saying they were, but that was definitely how it seemed.

Lycan I feel like is a difficult hero to nerf. If you nerf the wolves then early game jungeling.

Wagamama is coming to the end of his 24 hour stream, and he's just finished a game as Medusa, getting lv 25 and 2 rapiers in 33 minutes. It was a good game.
Post by: Heezy on Sun, 27 July 2014, 03:23:50
Lycan
Void
Clinkz
TA
This 4 heroes rarely have their stats or skills nerfed, but people started to find out about them. Before Panda got famous recently, I was thinking why haven't anyone picked them at all? Until the patch came out and some stats were changed, and then people started to practice the hero and try to include them. And then here comes the "trend" dota, VG follows trend a whole lot, they don't make their own draft, they copy draft. I remember looking at one of their draft, fnatic beat them using the SAME exact draft, same pick same ban. I even remember drafting for my team, picking Viper, Razor and DP constantly before they were even famous. Any 2 combination of these 3 easily wins in pushing and war.
Teams like EG, NaVi, and C9 plays their own draft. Yes they do pick the OP heroes or rather "trend" heroes like Lycan, Doom, Shadow Shaman, but they tend to pick something they are used to and make it to good use, and that's why no one figured out how to beat EG, because of their "weird" strategy. Whenever I look at EG play I just don't understand what they are doing, but they seems to do it perfectly. C9 has their own draft (Blink Clinkz/Drow anyone?"), and Na`Vi with their "I have the biggest balls of all" draft. I personally think Na`Vi and C9 has the mindset of "high risk high reward" draft, and that's why they would always entertain the audience.
Teams like VG, Newbee, and DK just loves to copy trend, and DK has the weakest draft among these 3 Chinese team. The problem with DK is that they are always drafting weakly, and they don't know what they want to do. When they picked AM last pick during the DK vs VG game, I pretty much went "wtf is going on?", if they wanted to push, Pugna would have been the better pick, but they picked AM instead, and then Pugna completely destroys Mushi. (5 minutes into the game I realize why DK was drafting like this, but it was already too late)
Same problem with Fnatic, they have all the potential, but they just don't know what they are doing and most of the games they lost when having a big lead is they somehow knew how to blow it up. (Most of the games) They don't know how to capitalize a lead compare to Na`Vi (xboct throwing occasionally).
I believe Alliance is still one of the best team out there, if they started drafting differently and stop depending on Bulldog so much. I believe Bulldog is one of the best offlaners out there, his movements and map sense is very good. I remember watching ESL C9 vs Alliance and watch his perspective, his movements really was mesmerizing. If only Alliance starts to draft differently, because to me.. Na`Vi and Alliance has the best war sequence of all the teams.
And people are gonna hate me.. but when is C9 going to kick PLD? He does nothing for the team, he's basically what his nickname says.. Pieliefeed.
The format of the tournament is pretty weird as well, I hope it returns to last year's format. It makes ESL look better than TI4.
These are pretty much what I think of the teams right now.
The finals were crap I think for three reasons.
- Firstly, because almost nobody wanted Newbee to win. The whole racism thing followed them like a dark cloud, and the fact that their strategy is so different from the Chinese Dota everyone is used to, which a lot of people hated. Which leads me to my next point...
- The fast push strats that Newbee put to good use, do not make for good viewing. The game Vici won was the best of the series, probably because it was the only one to go over 25 minutes.

Throughout all of the final, the drafts were boring. I like the way DK play, and they were my second favorites to win. I think the format just really sucked. I think the Summit final was better =/
Post by: Heezy on Sun, 27 July 2014, 04:24:03
Yeah, the format really sucked. I think if they just did a regular old tree style bracket, 16 teams in, 8 either side, Bo3s, it would be great. Making it so we knew one of the finalists on day 1 sucked, and it also meant EG had to wait 2 days before playing again, which really didn't help.
Throughout all of the final, the drafts were boring. I like the way DK play, and they were my second favorites to win. I think the format just really sucked. I think the Summit final was better =/

And Ice3 and the rest of VG are killing it as well :)
Picks wise, it's the same old ****. Lycan banned, Razor/TA/DP/Brew in the mid, Centaur/Tide/Doom off lane, with Rubick/SS/Sywrath/Earthshaker supports. I think the most adventurous pick I've seen recently has been a Timbersaw =/
Post by: Heezy on Fri, 19 September 2014, 13:47:35
So from what I have seen over the last few days of SLX is that Alliance are pretty terrible right now, NaVi are bad, Team Secret haven't done great, and Fear is leading EG to glorious victory.

After a few games, my hands were shaking... Even if I lost, I went back for more, just kept hitting find-game..
I microwaved a breakfast burrito, started playing, and 2 hours later, the burrito was still in front of me, untouched...
How you people get anything done with dota in your life is indeed amazing...

Post by: katushkin on Wed, 24 September 2014, 03:39:09
Death Prophet
Exorcism cooldown increased from 115 to 135
This is going to be important. We are either going to see Refresher picked up quicker on DP, or see a lot less of her.
Earthshaker
Fissure is no longer blocked by Linken's Sphere
I think this is going to be pretty big in pro games going into the late game. Now a good counter against push strats and puck/morph/weaver
Omniknight
Base armor increased by 1
Purification damage area of effect increased from 240 to 260
HELL YEAH, GOTTA LOVE OMNIKNIGHT
Phoenix
Added Aghanim's Scepter: Allows Phoenix to cast Supernova on an allied hero, bringing both into the Sun to be reborn together. This does not refresh either hero's ultimate. 500 cast range. If the Sun is destroyed, both heroes will die
WOW
Pugna
Life Drain can now be targeted on allies, allowing Pugna to drain his own life into them
Hooooooly ****. With the almost non-existent cool down on that, he is going to be awesome.
Razor
Plasma Field minimum damage from 60/100/140/180 to 30/50/70/90 [?]
Static Link no longer ignores Linken's Sphere
Static Link mana cost from 20/30/40/50 to 50
Eye of the Storm no longer lingers through aegis reincarnation
Get. Rekd. No more Razor for youuuuuu!
I think they tried to buff Broodmother, but the increase in hiding time after she's taken damage is a bit too much and she still wont get played. The global webs and the ability to select and delete webs is pretty cool though I guess.
Bottle
Gold cost increased from 650 to 700
IMPORTANTE IMPORTANTE
as well as this
Blink Dagger
Gold cost increased from 2150 to 2250
Flying Courier Speed Burst cooldown increased from 40 to 90
Flying Courier Speed Burst duration reduced from 20 to 4
Flying Courier Speed Burst speed increased from 522 to 650
Get ready to see more courier kills
Mekansm
Restore mana cost increased from 150 to 225
There might be a big rethink into who carries a mek now.
Town Portal Scroll
Gold cost reduced from 135 to 100
AWWWW YEAHHHHHH
Necronomicon
Last Will damage type from Pure to Magical (Still does not pierce Spell Immunity)
Last Will damage increased from 400/500/600 to 550/675/800
Necro 3 still OP as ****
Oh, and the NEW RUNE WILL BE AWESOME and the ROSHAN PIT MOVE will be alright, it's a good job they got rid of Tinker's March ability to go through magic immunity, because judging by the positioning of the ancients next to Rosh, the march would draw him out of his pit with this new rework.

Believe me, I am tempted... I even started to make deals with myself... If I finish these 2 books in the next 3 days.. I'm gonna install dota.. and play for exactly 4 hours.. then uninstall it...
luckily it takes 10 minutes to download dota.. so there's a that 10 minute buffer... I might be able to stop myself in that time..

not much, it's a waste of slot anyways.
i'd get it out your hands though if you wish.
jokes aside, i think at least a couple of hundred dollars. D;
you don't see one in the market place anyways..

The other we were 10K BEHIND, with one of their team abandoning, then gaining 6 levels, and a Skywrath Mage managed to pull an E Blade out of his ass somehow. He was 8-7-10 and had 50 last hits and over 640GPM.
WTF is this patch man.
Post by: singaporean123 on Mon, 29 September 2014, 06:12:06
Played a game on the day of 6.82. we were 20k gold and xp behind, down 25 kills (we had 0) and we still managed to win the game after some won team fights.
It's really stupid to buy back with all your gold, win a team fight and score a triple kill and suddenly have 4k gold.
At one point I had 8k gold just from winning fights over and over again.

Even when youre ahead you fear going high ground because one fight is all it takes.
Literally just pick 3 cores or more and turtle, you'll win eventually.
Megas isn't even a huge threat when everyone is farmed as crap

Oracle + PA is my favorite.
Use the 2nd skill on whoever PA is hitting = 2.5k crits at 25 minutes in.
His 2nd skill also works on Roshan, so that's neat.

At Least that's how it was for me.
I can agree to SEA to a certain extent. From what I heard, higher ranked games are fine, people take their games seriously. You'd get flame tho if you screw up.
Even in casual games, people tend to rage a lot. :-[

From what I know..
3.5k-4.5k = toxic
4.5k-5k = I know everything
5k-5.5k = buying stupid items
5.5k-6.5k = really good tryharding games, but sometimes because there are no one queueing, you get 4k players on your team and you have to carry them.

Everyone is really happy and excited about giving him a surprise until this anonymous dude posted our chat details on this Chinese Dota2 Forum with the title: June's Girlfriend scams fans. First of all, in the group, I never ever revealed that I was his gf, most ppl up until then thought I was just a fanboy. And he talks about what I did being treating fans like crap and trying to shamelessly squeeze money out of fans and stuff. And then below are people going on about oooh you're such a slut/***** (insert sexist comments), if you want to buy a gift for your boyfriend don't use his fans ... blahblahblah ... if you can't afford it make a card!! stuff like that.
I don't give a **** about what they say about me, but it was a surprise and so many people put effort into it, and by posting this really risk him finding out about the surprise... such a total jackass...
and I couldn't say anything back because that would just fuel the whole discussion and up the thread. urgh. sorry, so I'm venting it out here...

:( something really stupid happened yesterday, since it was Christmas and I'm the admin for his fan group thingie, I asked whether people would like to chip in for a Christmas present for him... me and the other admins decided to get a clockwerk immortal helmet which a trader is selling at 300USD it's 300+ on the steam market... so we figured hey, there's like 300 people in the group and if everyone chip in like 1usd that's more than enough, obviously not everyone is going to and some people are like I wanna give 100usd = =, so I said ok any amount is okay, it's just a little something from us all and a little christmas spirit so please do not exceed 100RMB which is like 15USD per person.

Um...
It was quite stupid of you, if you 'Are' his GF to be getting a crowd sourced present for your BF..
Think about it.. people view it this way.. You are GF, that means you have personal interest invested in the relationship with alleged BF..
THUS, getting a present for the BF is the same as getting a present for yourself..
(to what degree, the formula holds is irrelevant) any x amount implies collusion
So, the public will see this as a roundabout way for you to squeeze money from them..
This was poorly handled on your part.. no excuses.(http://s4.postimage.org/1gb4pu544/th_12.gif)

It's really not that scary if you make sure to follow the scene. I've got a pretty good grasp on SEA and CN so I feel pretty comfortable with going in big on most matches. TongFu had me sweating against BigGod yesterday though..
I only put down enough on each bet to get another arcana. So that's usually 3-4 arcanas on the favorite to win, and I can get by with betting small stuff like manta style, magma totems, and pudge crap on underdogs to get enough to win lina arcanas.

yeah I do follow the scene but betting isn't my thing.
I've only tried once or twice during TI. that's about it. And I don't have arcanas to start with. Actually I do. Only the SF one which I bought :D

yeah I do follow the scene but betting isn't my thing.dota bettors are actually hardcore gamblers, i've learned. 4x arcana is close to $100 a bet (assuming 4xLinas @ ~$20 each, i haven't been following the market lately), whereas a large portion of sports bettors are casuals who bet about 10 - 20 currency units each bet

EG seems like they came to play, and poised to win, same thing happened to Secret. VG and Secret seems to still be on auto pilot mode and thinks this is easy. The Saltmaster seems to prepare EG very well for this.

depends on how sumail does in the coming months
the kid is 15, he's got a lot going on
we need to see if he hasn't collapsed in on himself by TI

I think it's strange how he's been a part of VG for so long, and they've done really quite well these last few months with him in the team, for them to suddenly go: "we need people who all speak Chinese for communication reasons". Guess it's the pressures of Chinese Dota to do well.It is mainly because black does not have as much awareness compared to other carries. Most top tier Position 1 in China farms while keeping active by watching the whole map as well as trying to see possible outcomes and if anyone is missing, unlike black^ who just focuses on farming and has almost no presence and needs to be babysat compared to the others. This is basically what Xiao8 mentioned as well as the other top players. I have them on my friends list and have played with them for fun for quite some time and you can confirm this if you would like me to add you :thumb:

I don't think that was the case towards the end of his time with CIS and the start of his time with VG. Nobody said anything about his awareness back then. I dunno. Seems a bit ****ty to me.
I don't actually play anymore hah. I don't have the time or the people to play with really. I had fun for a while and then the enjoyment trailed off. I still watch it, but I just don't enjoy playing anymore.

I have them on my friends list and have played with them for fun for quite some time and you can confirm this if you would like me to add you :thumb:
I don't think that was the case towards the end of his time with CIS and the start of his time with VG. Nobody said anything about his awareness back then. I dunno. Seems a bit ****ty to me.
I don't actually play anymore hah. I don't have the time or the people to play with really. I had fun for a while and then the enjoyment trailed off. I still watch it, but I just don't enjoy playing anymore.
This meta is anti ogre sadly.. I wanted him to do well after he decided to stick it out when LGD.int disbanded and he has, but VG had already made up their mind about kicking him it seems. He'll get on another team eventually but if he stays in china it won't be another T1 team. There's a stigma attached to black now and they're going to avoid him.

i thought chinese actually liked black, i remember them being very protective of him when his team failed in the TI4 qualifiersRemember when DK got the smelly finger pointed at them when they recruited Iceiceice and mushi?

magically, how smooth was the event overall? seems like there were plenty of issues behind the scene that viewers weren't entirely privy to
Well, at the main event, the matches went pretty smoothly. I was aware of the thread on reddit about soundproofing problems but I think that exists everywhere... the guards at the event were really strict. If you bought a VIP/normal ticket, you could only use the ticket twice, it has 2 stubs and gets scanned. If you didn't get scanned when you exit by accident, you can't go back in as well... I had a friend with that problem. If you had a backstage pass you had to have another secondary voucher to get in, they were not very good at distributing that... and some players had problems getting in either because they didn't get it at breakfast or lost it or something. The teams that didn't make pass the wildcard only got podium tickets and can only sit really high up the venue which I thought was quite unreasonable...
For the players, there's a place at the front with stools... I remember lots of ppl just giving up and start to lie on the floor, backstage there's a small booth, tv and sofa for each team with a girl in miniskirt/tube top standing outside each door for decoration...
By his team perhaps but not necessarily the whole community. Eventually it will be like how it is with Chuan and DDC
I guess the truth is the opposite. The whole community in general loves him. He's the one voted for the all stars match rather than ICE or FY. And at the event all the Chinese fans just swarm towards him it's almost Dendi level. And in all fairness most threads on Chinese forums empathise towards Black. Chuan ... I think it's his overall attitude and temper and nothing to do with his nationality, and he was originally from Mainland or smth. DDC ... I think is just a victim of internal ... erm what's the word ... he think he's just not as good socializing with the management and decision makers.

Anyhoo I think best option for him would be to go to ehome which actually performed better than expectations there are rumours about maybe and injuly going there too of course another option would be to go back to Europe

I don't class Secret as Euro because zai and RTZ used to be classed as USA, they can't be Euro too. Also **** Puppey.
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 13 February 2015, 10:43:58
i actually had breakfast today with black because he had to come to Hong Kong for visa matters. He had visa issues when he was is via but when he joined VG they got him a teacher and even he's team mates never say it was issue when they are just by themselves. But in interviews they mention it so it puts the idea in casters and audiences heads about communication problems so like when they see VG smoke and black gets left out or like team fight and black is laning somewhere else ppl think it must have been that black didn't understand or wasn't aware but in truth it was communicated that way intentionally
Anyhoo I think best option for him would be to go to ehome which actually performed better than expectations there are rumours about maybe and injuly going there too of course another option would be to go back to Europe
thanks for your insight into the event, i really appreciate it.
it's really interesting to read
Euro Dota definitely needs a boost. We used to be a serious powerhouse, with Fnatic, Empire, Navi all being really quite good, now we have a really sub-par Navi. And that's pretty much it.
I don't class Secret as Euro because zai and RTZ used to be classed as USA, they can't be Euro too. Also **** Puppey.
why "**** puppey"?
he's one of the best captains right now, and he's got a great team behind him.

I just think he's a bit of an ass. I don't like his attitude really, and with him and RTZ on the same team, it just means I can focus all my hate on one team.

RTZ has become a lot less of a ****head than he used to be
that said, he's still a ****head
Hahah, yeah, I think I've explained my views on his behaviour in this thread before. I just don't really want to try and like him anymore. I get why people do, but yeah.

My 10 year US Visa expired a year ago. It's a hassle for me to get it renewed but one day, I'll attend it... but not this year.
BTW,
iG.BurNIng boysssss!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pretty sure soon you won't need a visa to go USA, you can just visit. : ) I am planning to go next year, since my friend is currently in USA, and won't be leaving for at least another few years, I can stay at his place!

That's like saying c9 is NA though.. But then again, if you think c9 is NA, Secret is NA too, since they basically only have RTZ who is from Canada, the same as EE. :thumb:

I thought they'd do WAY better than they did, but obviously they've got some kinks to work out.
IMO inflame needs to be in a role where he can have a higher impact. His skills are through the roof but he can't shine on low skill cap support heroes

Unfortunately, Malaysian passport holders need a visa even for a short trip. I know Singaporeans just need some sort of entry pass tho.

that's really unfortunate about the GON, many people have reported delays in the past few months as well. do you happen to know if Newbee will receive a direct invite to TI?
well, honestly if they're invited then good for them.
but then again, it's not even the roster that won TI anyways.
they sorta went down hill even before DAC and after DAC was a complete joke, no offence to magically.
they've been playing lots of wc3 isn't it, from what I've heard. lol
but someone needs to go back as champions to defend isn't it? and currently, they're like to weakest chinese team compared to VG, iG, and LGD.
Btw, will vote later :) @ magically

well, i've been so busy lately i haven't been really following any dota matches... regarding their performance i can only speak for June... tbh I wish June had joined a completely new team or went on his own, he's personality doesn't really fit well with already famous "star" players, he doesn't have the "aura" to influence them, if others are not in the mood he goes down with them. when he was in CIS (his first team), they are have the same status, and had to sleep on wood board beds and live on like 600usd/month to strive for their dream... he was full of energy and enthusiasm...
anyhoo

Understood completely. Tbh, I wasn't sure why did June joined Newbee. Or was it the other way round? Newbee wanted him?
Either way, hope they do well in their upcoming matches. Mu wasn't the mid we all knew in TI. Compared to Super and 430, he's under-performing so badly.

just play normal games? what are you trying to improve exactly? why are you still playing bots?
I've not played dota in about 7 months and I wasn't really that good to start with. I want to improve so I don't piss people off in games.
The last experience I had playing real people were both MMR calibration games which I abandoned because I was playing so badly.

well it depends on your goals I guess but if you want to raise your MMR after calibrating then you will mostly end up playing mid or safelane carry. If you are looking to play a specific role like support or carry then you need to decide that. Or you can play all positions in general.
I started out carry in solo games. When I play with my friends I was forced to support because they all wanted to carry. Now that I'm a much better carry I play mid/safelane when I que with friends. When I'm trying to raise MMR I also play carry and only occasionally go support if my whole team is picking carry.

I'm not bothered about raising my MMR. I never used to play ranked games but I just thought it might be useful to get my MMR rating to see how terrible I was. I don't mind playing any role, I like some support heroes, I like some carry heroes, but of course I like to carry more. My favorite hero is KOTL though, so I guess I should play more support.
I should just take it on the chin, expect the criticism from the people I end up playing with and just play with some ****lords online instead of bots.

just play normal games? what are you trying to improve exactly? why are you still playing bots?
I've not played dota in about 7 months and I wasn't really that good to start with. I want to improve so I don't piss people off in games.
The last experience I had playing real people were both MMR calibration games which I abandoned because I was playing so badly.
well it depends on your goals I guess but if you want to raise your MMR after calibrating then you will mostly end up playing mid or safelane carry. If you are looking to play a specific role like support or carry then you need to decide that. Or you can play all positions in general.

Depending on how low your mmr ends up being, it may be better to just mute your teammates in most cases :/
heres some basic advice
support: carry a tp always (tp to save lanes/help). Try to make sure at least ONE ward is up at all times. Don't ever take last hits unless you are one creep away from your item (let the carry know) or there is no way the carry is getting it. Sometimes you have to die to let the carry escape (you shouldn't feel guilty about ignoring this if the carry dove too hard or got caught out of position). Pulling creeps: if you dont stack the pull camp then when you pull the lane will push, if you stack the pull camp or pull the wave to 2 neutral camps then you are stopping your lane from pushing. Stack camps in general.
Safelane carry: last hit. go into jungle when the lane is pushed and farm. farm ancients when you get strong enough. usually you are the guy who when it gets to 30min should start wrecking everyone if the game hasn't ended. pay attention to missings (you are the gank target). Do not feel pressured to gank or rotate early.
Mid: be better than the other mid. Get levels/farm. Don't try to gank every time someone asks for a gank because 90% of the time the kill won't be secured and youll lose a ton of exp while the enemy mid is just happily gaining a lead over you.
theres obviously more to say. Stay up to date on items. Suggested items dont always fit the meta.

Not enough Blood Cycka nerfs. Volvo plz.
Also, my display drivers keep crashing about 5-10 times a game. Sometimes its so bad my PC freezes and I have to restart. Anybody else get similar issues? It's only started since I've been forced to play the New Bloom version.

i trade off mostly for hero items i dont use or bet it in dota2lounge. I mostly use carries so i collect those and trades with my support items. just ask if you find anything in my inventory that you like and if its not too valuable to me, i should be able to trade it np :cool:

Well the new patch hasn't changed the meta much. Although I did see a Medusa played today. BH and Undying ar both really boring heroes IMO. Really passive heroes who don't really have much of a chance of turning a fight, and other than BH ganks, they don't create much either.
WHAAAAAAAAT? I mean it hasn't changed to a new game all together but some of the most annoying heroes were nerfed ALOT. Did you watch both TI5 and ESLone?

I'm watching ESLOne now. It's still QOP, Lina, BH, Wyvern, Undying, SF. Maybe a few more interesting supports, but it's not like the change after TI4 where it went from Razor/DP being the heroes to fight for, and then disappearing completely. It's still p much the same heroes over and over.

Yup, and BKBs other stats aren't necessarily great for her, (stats are always great, but they don't always synergize) so its an item slot just dedicated to survival. Orchid and silence are particularly strong against heroes like Qop or AM. Orchid's also cheap compared to other items build to counter individual abilities.

There's rather a lot of distinctly op abilitiesthere's really only a couple of true OP abilities, and its more about the heroes having way more utility than any 1 hero should have. I wouldn't call any 1 ability OP (maybe necro ult with aghs- just because of the late game consequences)

ummm, I politely disagree. Shackles her best skill but it's not like it her other skills hold her down. Her ult right now with aghs, her mid potential, her ability to flash farm and windrun. She can snowball and transition well. She's viable in every phase of the game. Pros run her has carry, utility, or support. She's just great all around the last 2 patches. My favorite hero's actually invoker, but at decent MMR's he's pretty garbage right now (actually has been garbage for about 2 years :( )
Actually, one could argue the buff to her ult is actually OP right now- but hardly shackleshot. It's been around for 10 years and for probably 5 of them she hasn't been competitively viable despite shackle basically remaining untouched

No, I can agree with that, she's definitely strong this patch. I was talking more about her base hero being balanced against her very diverse ability set. She's very squishy, she has a pretty bad int-gain to mana cost ratio, and considering her fairly bad attack animation, her early base attack damage doesn't really make up for it. I mis-worded that, I don't actually think she's a weak hero, what I meant was that her base hero is very weak in order to balance her abilities.

Wake up to five push notifications from The Score (Sifo I know it was you) saying that EG had come back and won it. Managed to watch game five this morning, and it seems that SF is just the winner all the time.
Also, if anyone is up for some Dota tomorrow at about 2pm UK time, which is uhhhh, like 9am eastern? I think? Come join me and R1N3. PLEASE. I WANT TO DOTA SO BAD.
We did bad today, but I think that was my fault partly.

Post by: katushkin on Tue, 15 December 2015, 21:10:27
ES, Terrorblade and Oracle added to Captains Mode
Ranked Random Draft
Four new items
**** TONS of map changes. Like thirty bullet points on just map changes.
Bristle Aghs upgrade - goo no longer targeted but hits all enemies within 600 when casted
Drow Aghs upgrade - Marksmanship causes arrow to split after initial attack onto two random targets within 375 doing 50% each. AMs still apply
Ember remnants don't give vision anymore.
Kunkka Aghs upgrade - pulls enemies within 200 of crash site into the crash site. Boat starts from where you are rather than behind you, but lands in the same place
Legion Aghs upgrade now makes you and your target immune to all damage other than the damage between duel participants.
Lion got buffed. Not that he needed it.
Magnus Aghs upgrade - Empower is now an allied hero aura. ranged heroes for half values but they deal splash damage within 200. Can be cast but doesn't stack.
Furion base INT increased by 4
OD imprison no longer steals INT. Deals AOE damage after it ends instead.
Sand King Aghs doubles burrow strike cast range and applies caustic finale poison to heroes. No longer grants increased shockwaves.
SF base armour reduced by one. Aghs upgrade - Requiem wave returns to SF dealing 40% of damage on it's way back. All the damage back heals SF.
Tidehunter Aghs upgrade - gush is ground targeted that is a wave travelling 1800.
Ursa Aghs upgrade - Can cast ability while disabled and reduces cooldown.
Venge Aghs upgrade - Spawn a Venge illusion when you die. It does 50% damage and takes 150% and you can use all your abilities but no items. Illusion lasts until you respawn. Still grants bonus to swap.
Boots now only 400g. Courier now 100 and flying now 200. Bottle is 660. Smoke now 50. Hood of Defiance active absorbs up to 325 magical damage. Vitality booster added to side shop. Mantle and Ultimate Orb removed.

New rune, new camps by ancients, new layout, new arcanas, new abilities for Druid, Riki, Void, Death Prophet and Doom, Random Draft pool increased from 24 to 50. FIFTY.
>ES, Terrorblade and Oracle added to Captains Mode
yay
>Ranked Random Draft
Why, I'll probably play this, but nobody else will
>Four new items
The ability to buff attack range and spell range is basically making it so that heroes can upgrade themselves in more ways than previously, we've seen this before with cooldown reduction. This shift towards more upgrade paths is interesting, and it makes games going later much more viable, and more about builds rather than just fight timing.
>**** TONS of map changes. Like thirty bullet points on just map changes.
Yeah this is weird... although if you recall, they took out some juke paths earlier, so hopefully those are added back in (or comparable).
>Bristle Aghs upgrade - goo no longer targeted but hits all enemies within 600 when casted
wtf this is useless
>Drow Aghs upgrade - Marksmanship causes arrow to split after initial attack onto two random targets within 375 doing 50% each. AMs still apply
also pretty useless, drow is all about single target, money is much better spent elsewhere.
>Ember remnants don't give vision anymore.
Reasonable, don't think it really affects his viability too much though.
>Kunkka Aghs upgrade - pulls enemies within 200 of crash site into the crash site. Boat starts from where you are rather than behind you, but lands in the same place
Kunkka tends to be pretty utility, so this could get used as like a setup for other ultimates. Like an expensive version of DS's vacuum.
>Legion Aghs upgrade now makes you and your target immune to all damage other than the damage between duel participants.
This is dumb, practically more useless than the last one was. Still could be used in fights to lock down a spell caster, but removes the ability to smoke gank as a whole team then lock someone down and blow them up.
>Lion got buffed. Not that he needed it.
Lion never gets played. Like literally never. Probably still won't, but we'll see.
>Magnus Aghs upgrade - Empower is now an allied hero aura. ranged heroes for half values but they deal splash damage within 200. Can be cast but doesn't stack.
This is ****ing insane. May get nerfed.
>Furion base INT increased by 4
Good
>OD imprison no longer steals INT. Deals AOE damage after it ends instead.
So basically there's no longer any purpose to OD at all... his ult is WAY less effective now. Feels like a huge nerf to a hero that never really got played except by mushi.
>Sand King Aghs doubles burrow strike cast range and applies caustic finale poison to heroes. No longer grants increased shockwaves.
Stupid huge nerf. The point of SK is his ult.
>SF base armour reduced by one. Aghs upgrade - Requiem wave returns to SF dealing 40% of damage on it's way back. All the damage back heals SF.
Interesting aghs, probably will not get purchased too much though. If you have the chance to get off req, you're probably surviving the fight anyways, so the health isn't a huge deal. Base armor reduction hurts him a good deal in the laning stage though I feel.
>Tidehunter Aghs upgrade - gush is ground targeted that is a wave travelling 1800.
The ****. Could be used as follow up to ravage I guess? I still feel like there's better utility items you could buy.
>Ursa Aghs upgrade - Can cast ability while disabled and reduces cooldown.
Cool. Doesn't make ursa viable though.
>Venge Aghs upgrade - Spawn a Venge illusion when you die. It does 50% damage and takes 150% and you can use all your abilities but no items. Illusion lasts until you respawn. Still grants bonus to swap.
Venge was already getting played, I think we'll see her even more, because people already bought aghs on her anyways. Carry venge will be a bit more prevalent probably, especially because you can just farm with the illusion.
>Boots now only 400g. Courier now 100 and flying now 200. Bottle is 660.
Boots costing less is a HUGE buff to offlaners with no escape mechanism. Now it's much more feasible to go boots first. Thank god for courier change. Bottle change is a buff to super squishy mids/low-sustain mids.

I really love my 60% and use it 90% of the time besides when I game. I need f1 and f2 constantly (recall courier, select hero), and can't get use to the 60% layout when it comes to this.

I've tried, it's not undo-able, but it hinders me a lot, because I tend to use practically the entire function row. I can still play in a pinch, but really I prefer something with FN keys.

Yes! I did it a year back with my Poker2. It was alright to be honest.
Only when I started playing Naga or any Illu based heroes it was really difficult.
Lone Druid was fine though :)
Only gripe I have was the ESC beside the "1".
Usually my hand reaches to F1 to select my hero and F2 for courier. That was a little bit tricky.

I would if I played ranked. I really hate playing all pick, the two games I played today both had pudges in. Yay. I like playing with the small pool of heroes so I can actually choose hah
>bristle aghs - wtf this is useless
I don't think so, I think it's helpful in teamfights, you can slow down everyone for the rest of your team, not just the one bloke you are trying to chase down.
>drow aghs - also pretty useless, drow is all about single target, money is much better spent elsewhere
Again, I don't think so. She still deals 100% of damage to the initial target, and attack modifiers like frost arrows still apply to the splash targets. I think this and bristle's upgrade are trying to make single target heroes better in team fights.
>Reasonable, don't think it really affects his viability too much though.
AFAIK it affects storm's remnants and someone else's too. Possibly earth spirit?
>Legion aghs - This is dumb, practically more useless than the last one was. Still could be used in fights to lock down a spell caster, but removes the ability to smoke gank as a whole team then lock someone down and blow them up
True, but I think it makes it better again in team fights, you can single out a support and not worry about anyone ruining your duel. I dunno, I do think it's still a bit ****ty, but not as bad as it was.
>Lion never gets played. Like literally never. Probably still won't, but we'll see
It never gets banned, but it for sure gets played. Puppey called Lion "the best support that never gets banned". I love playing Lion, and he has got pretty much everything. His Aghs is ****ing nuts.
Yeah, OD and SK are basically dead now.
Boots have gotten a movement speed nerf as well, some people are thinking they might not even be mandatory anymore.

I'd say bristle and drow's aghs upgrade is alright if there's an alchemist in your team.
For drow, it could be a slot wasted by for Bristleback it's actually pretty sick. AOE goo.

Bristle aghs is decent but its gonna be hard to find a place for it among the items he already needs.
Lol legion aghs is actually OP. You do realize once you snowball you can literally man fight anyone with no fear of losing a duel and you completely lock someone out of a fight. LC aghs is def gonna be core on her - not a first or second item but a 3rd or 4th.
OD and SK were never really picked in the first place. I think sk aghs is still good because slow is huge in team fights. Sure he wont do as much damage but its not like you were getting rampages on sk in the first place.
Boots will still be needed just because of the upgrades (treads phase etc). What it will also do is allow for early roaming supports since they are cheaper.

I'm talking about pro dota, do you ever watch it? Because I haven't seen lion in a couple months. He's pretty dead right now.
And as for bristle and drow, while their aghs are both "good", there's no doubt about it, you have to remember that they're carries, so it's more of a question of "is this entire expensive item that fills up a slot really worth it versus another tank/damage item". I could see it being worth it VERY situationally on drow. Practically never on bristle (except maybe offlane bristle, which never gets played anymore).

Wow. That was kinda rude. I literally quoted Puppey, talking about the hero. He's a player in Team Secret. Not sure if you've heard of them? He used to be in a team called Na'Vi as well, they won something called "The International" a while back.
Admittedly he was talking about the hero a while back, but I think it still stands because he hasn't been changed that much recently. He doesn't get picked because there are heroes that have more to offer than him, that are disablers and something else, or nukers and something else that's a bit more useful, but I don't know why you would pick Shadow Shaman over Lion, but AA, Dazzle, Undying, Venge, Bane all have more to offer like heals, magic invuln piercing, global abilities etc.
And as for bristle and drow, while their aghs are both "good", there's no doubt about it, you have to remember that they're carries, so it's more of a question of "is this entire expensive item that fills up a slot really worth it versus another tank/damage item". I could see it being worth it VERY situationally on drow. Practically never on bristle (except maybe offlane bristle, which never gets played anymore).
I realise that, but saying "these aghs upgrades are useless" is, like you say, situational. On Drow it is essentially another damage item, maybe not as effective as an MKB or S&Y, but it does essentially double your damage in teamfights.

I guess we need to decide how we are approaching this. What pros will do vs what we will do. I think getting aghs on bristle will wreck pubs. I think getting aghs on drow in both settings will get her wrecked.
Lion has also seen some pro play in the last few months. Although not much. I think lion still has a place in pubs but in pro games there are def. better picks.
But moving on from those specific heroes listed. So far from what I've noticed - riki has been picked a lot but his new skill set is worse than before. The only way to make riki good is to build him like ember spirit.
Arc gets picked just about every game and is super easy to take care of by picking ember or any hero with good wave clear. Honestly, most play him as rat more than anything else.
I've been playing Kotl a lot for fun and winning most of my games. Teams just can't push into him and that buff to his chakra is actually really nice.
Legion has been in most of my games too. She seems to get out of control but at a certain point she just doesn't do much. Thats probably cause my team has had better late game heroes.

I love KotL. He's got to be one of my favourite heroes, and the extra second on chakra isn't really that bad.

Yeah, I can see that. I made one of my two statue thingy blocks into him :) He's ace. Only thing I wish he had was a reliable stun. You don't skill mana burn till late really, and by then it becomes pretty useless unless you are chasing someone down at the end of a team fight.

Riki seems like he would be really really good against grouped pushers like PL, brood, Furion, etc. Although I haven't seen the rest of his skills, he will probably se some more play, even though I think he's lost his health regen when he's invis now?
I love KotL. He's got to be one of my favourite heroes, and the extra second on chakra isn't really that bad.
What's your MMR?

4.1Kotl is probably the best pub hero in the game. I guarantee you, any ranked level, pick kotl every game, always stay positive, help your team, and you'll have a net mmr increase.But moving on from those specific heroes listed. So far from what I've noticed - riki has been picked a lot but his new skill set is worse than before. The only way to make riki good is to build him like ember spirit.
Arc gets picked just about every game and is super easy to take care of by picking ember or any hero with good wave clear. Honestly, most play him as rat more than anything else.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm for Kotl cause it's a super-fun hero. But when wins matter, I fail to see his usefulness. Most of my Kotl games have either been sub-par or had awful early games. Nobody seem to agree on where and how to lane him considering that pubs are less than willing to play around 1 pick (in this case a fricking support hero with no early or late-late potential) and those who, for some reason want to and can do it properly are rare to find. Besides, there are so many better options available.
I'm 5.5k as we speak.

I have to disagree, his skills are extremely easy to exploit under the right circumstances. Split pushing is extremely easy with Recall, Illuminate is one of the strongest spells to have in long team fights, especially with aghs, and Mana Leak actually can be skilled over Illuminate in the early game under the right circumstances as an extremely strong zoning/disabling tool. The effectiveness of a Kotl pick is really decided by the heroes your allies pick, so as a 5th pick he has the potential to pull the odds in your favour in the drafting stage.

Man, I wish I could but I'm in the UK atm. I could technically play at sea with 200ish ping but the net's good. So my delay isn't that bad. :)
But maybe next time when I get back to Malaysia. Could play smoothly over there.
And wow, it's been awhile since I played rank. I think I got close to 4k last I played. Or a few games away at least. :confused:

There are a few heroes I am dreading playing. Invoker is one of them. I've played a few bot matches, but mostly I'm having to keep the spell list up to remember what everything is. And then the spells with Quas as their primary don't show everything because my Q is my Caps lock and it says "CAPS LOCK" instead of Q... Anyway. I'm also dreading Storm Spirit, Meepo, Chen, Arc Warden, Spectre and Earth Spirit.
How have you guys been doing in your AHC, if you have been doing it? And are you not looking forward to any heroes in particular?

Does anyone have some tips? I have about 1500 hours in the game. I was around 3.2k-3.5k for a long time, had a time period where I took a break and when I came back I didn't care too much about MMR so I random and played whatever I like, including support (I've learned that carries can't really carry at this low of an MMR).
I also learned ember in Ranked (I know, I'm stupid) and lost 10 continuous games in a row, one after another. Looking at Dotabuff, I typically have the highest GPM each game and farm exceptionally well (avg >=50 creeps per minute for majority of early game). Ever since I started trying to raise my MMR, I tend to play mid-lane with Lina, Shadow Fiend, and dominate my lane but doesn't always work out (feeders, carries who cant carry, supports who try to build carry). I can also play safelane carry (Gyrocopter, PA, Jugg) but have noticed that if I'm not in the mid lane, a lot of the times the other mid will snowball and completely win their team the game.
Seem stuck in the trench here (2.8k-3k). When I was around the 3.2k-3.5k range, everyone seemed to care about MMR, supports would do their job, and team was just more coordinated in general, didn't feed or throw tantrums, fight for mid, and cared about the game. People would draft well instead of randoming or picking a jungler and greedy lineups (4-5 carries). Beginning to get annoyed with the game...

if you're playing with uncooperative teammates, I tend to pick heroes who split push well, and continuously force rotations as to avoid fights and allow teammates to farm. For some reason in low mmr trench people are obsessed with fighting even if they have lost the last 3 fights, are one man down, and have 0 items. You really have to drill it into their skulls that pushing wins the game, not jungling until 45min and getting ganked by the anti-mage who's had free farm because you never pressured lanes and then complaining about your ****ty supports.

I've been trying to raise my solo MMR up
Pick KOTL
This low in MMR, I noticed a lot of people run back to base and heal even when there is a KOTL or a individual with heals.
One thing I have learned from watching professionals play is mana boots, mek, greeves, urn, is a must. However, players constantly go back to base to grab their items and heal (sometimes they are full health and just go to heal mana). Even when I say politely on the mic that I have a heal (mana boots or health), the individual chooses to run back to base or be really inefficient with their time.

I really need to watch/learn how to play him, tips?
I know I'm not trenzafeeds, but the way I've seen him play successfully is to NOT go illuminate (if you do go illuminate just use it enough so that your carries can get creep kills or help secure kills for your carry). More often that not, pub KOTL's usually steal all the farm in the lane and as a result of blasting all the creeps, usually push out the lane.
So as a result, mana leak + chakra (maybe 1 to illuminate).
For items, I've seen tranquils or mana boots, mek, and guardian greaves. Urn is good too!

I've been trying to raise my solo MMR up
Pick KOTL
I really need to watch/learn how to play him, tips?
I've played a fair bit as KOTL. While I wouldn't say I am the best, I think he's in my top three heroes.
I go illuminate lv1. Let's you get early ganks if needed, as well as harass on the enemy heroes. You need to position yourself to the flanks of the lanes trying to hit enemy heroes and miss the melee creeps in lane. This is easier with the new-ish side lane in the Dire off-lane, but harder on the Dire safe lane. It's easy on both the Radiant off and safe lanes as it's a bit harder for the Dire to infiltrate the Radiant jungle, although the new set of steps has made it a bit easier. Observers in your own jungles by the new steps radiant side, and the east-west steps on the Dire side makes it easy to check if there is anyone coming close to you. You can on the Dire side sit in the recesses in the trees just south of the tier 1, and still hit heroes/range creeps near the entrance to the side shop. You can hit the range creep if you must, but I use the illuminate to harass and push the lanes back if needed. Lv 1 illuminate past about 10 minutes in is pretty useless.
Mana burn isn't a very reliable stun unless you skill it really early which you really don't want to do over illuminate and chakra magic, and chances are the rest of your team are going to have point and click stuns, whereas you are literally a walking mana machine.
I go illuminate first, then chakra magic. Take mana burn at lv5 if you need to, but take Spirit Form whenever you can. As for items, I usually go Tranquils, Mek, Force Staff, Aghs, then whatever else.

Cheers for the recommendations guys :) might give it a go tonight. I was around 3.8 (solo) then dropped to 3.2, mostly play with friends these days though as solo queue is so so terrible in this bracket :'(
Every time you have chakra on CD, use it. But even if people say over and over, asking to get mana, and you haven't got enough to do two, do it to yourself first, then others. If you only have enough for one, unless it's an emergency, like in a team fight or during a big push, then you will be much more use doing one on yourself so you can then give out two or three rather than one and then going home somewhere.
Also be sure to use recall during your ultimate to bring people from the fountain in to the push, or a buyback to a team fight.

Pudge pulling enemies out of the fountain while their T3 towers are still up at the 30min mark, legion with 100 bonus damage by 15 minutes, over 300 by the time the game ended, even stupider was that the LC was jungling and still managed to make mincemeat of the enemy team.

Haha, he said this "Icefrog has no idea about what hes doing with dota right now" but he apologised later on.
Guess it was just in the heat of the moment.

nah imo as long as you just get cs with arc lightning and hang back you'll be able to get good timings on your boots and blink, then a quick aether lens after you disable boots and you're pretty much set to dominate mid game until they build bkbs, which aren't that hard to deal with tbh if your lineup doesn't suck ass

Been playing a lot recently to get some levels up in my battle pass, managed to win a game as Mirana for my daily challenge when I played AWFULLY for the first 30 minutes and I thought we were going to lose, then I did alright and we won with 15 minutes to spare on the quest ;D

Luckily we had a Lich on our team, but also a Lycan, PA and Huskar. Huskar was going to go mid, but I said I would take it. Ended up DESTROYING the Puck in mid, not doing great on my last hits, but I used mana drain to ensure he did his disappearing thing, then when he came back I would spike and finger him. Ez mid ;)
Ended up with the dream build of Aghs, Dagon 5, Tranquils, Bloodstone and blink. Was my daily hero challenge for my battle pass too :D

Well it was unranked, but I am 2.1k :(
Yeah, I was quite surprised, but the mana drain is nice to have. Having so many targeted, low cool down spells (especially with aghs finger) means morph/weaver/puck aren't quite as hard to deal with, with a Lion on your team :D

Yes
Maybe. Sometimes. The new TP animation is broken. The treasures are cool and the challenges are good, if not a bit frustrating being limited to victories for the most part.
But I've had fun doing my daily challenges to be honest.

If you are just starting out, play supports. That way you aren't focusing too much on last hitting.
Stick to the heroes that are strong in the current meta (orge magi, crystal maiden, vengeful spirit, etc.)

within the first 5 min of the stream he mentions his prep for casting is to jerk off and he was unable to find porn because of china laws but still managed to get off to people in wheel chairs. Also said ****s and the f word.
within the first hour he made secret look like a complete joke and constantly said things like "I don't know who these teams are" "I dont even keep up with dota". Basically came off like he doesn't care about dota at all.
During his time there he increased the degree of his insults (basically calling EE a retard). He also mentioned more of chinas censorship laws. Constantly made comments about Valve and Perfect World and the production.
And at one point he blatantly ignored production asking him to turn to break and then on stream made fun of them after that happened.
James said he was told to be himself (with no context) so people on reddit are saying valve is dumb and its their fault, why tell someone to act how they want and then be mad. Also saying stuff like james is always like this why are you so surprised?
CEO of Valve Gaben just posted a thread saying he didnt want james in the first place and that people lobbied for him and that they wont ever work with him again and called him an ass. Gaben also just fired the production team KeyTv (I thnk thats who it was)
James in the same thread said, the reason I havent responded is because this seems more personal than professional but I'm writing my response.
Seems like gaben hates james and james went too far in his antics and gaben said enough.
James did a great job keeping people entertained during the long production delays, but often went too far over the line of professionalism. You can be yourself and still be professional which he didnt do. So he got fired. drama is continuing

The best comment in that thread:
"I looked away when James did the nazi salute before casting a major match. I tolerated him even after he recited the entire Mein Kampf from his memory during lunch. But when I saw him buying a GoG game that's also available on Steam, that was the last straw." - GabeN
Sounds like he was an ******* and deserved to be fired. I liked him during TI, but that's really over the top and pretty inexcusable.

The bits I saw were alright, but yeah, the production was a bit ****ty during the group stages when I was watching prolonged sections.
RTZ will never win a TI. Hopefully.

Lel, you really do hate RTZ. In any case, Sumail is the one that is hated by the community now for what he has said to the Chinese community.
He's really arrogant if you're comparing him to RTZ. But eh, their life. :)

If you think RTZ is bad, personally Sumail might be worse.
Well basically he was pubbing in China and he bad mouthed a veteran Chinese player who turned of to be YYF (TI2 winner).
https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/495vjy/sumail_tells_yyf_to_go_f_yourself_in_chinese_pub/
Anyways, there's a lot of reason why he isn't liked that much while RTZ is loved lol.
Bit hypocritical but you see my point.

so when a game is gonna be bad from the start or someone starts flaming, I just roll with it and enjoy the loss :)

Hmmm. They didn't seem to draft very many tanky heroes, other than Ursa in the last game. NP and DP are a trend... It's like TI4 all over again. Ghost sceptre plus euls on DP seems to just make her pretty unkillable though.

To be honest, I'm surprised it's taken the Koreans this long to become good at Dota. The support for SC2 has been waning for a while, and they can't all want to play LoL...
Post by: pichu23 on Mon, 21 March 2016, 11:36:07
Well in their defence Nexon took away their server and they had to play with high pings to SEA/CN servers. Yeah it took them what 2 years? But I'm glad they're doing as good as they're atm. Their style is just so unique. I really like it when the panel says EGs draft is way better etc and MVP just flats out win them at fights. So good to be proven wrong. But yeah, DotA isn't big enough in Korea. I hope it will though. Would be silly if Koreans hate on DotA just become of League but meh. And generally most of the Koreans are enlisted to the army and it is compulsory. So thats another factor.The two prophets yeah. Haha. It failed in game 2. Not sure why PPD redrafted.

Log into Dota to see katushkin's news feed "Low priority Life" LOOOL what happened man
I abandoned a game as Earthshaker because even when I landed the PERFECT echo, my team did nothing. And we had an enigma that didn't hit a single black hole all game. So I abandoned after I died on the bottom lane and got put in low prio for abandoning twice in 10 games hah.
Lost the first one but owned the second one as PL going 20/3 ^_^ Diffusal lv2 is so kickass. Even managed to kill an OD about six times.

The problem with low pro is that you gotta WIN the games to get out of it. I would've just alt tabbed out and read up on some gh and then go back in once in awhile lol

Pre mmr era you could make a new account and spam tinker to get to 5k but now it's different but no harm in trying though.
Or you can join me and baddy sometimes lol. We're just playing for fun. :)

@1swt2gs Judging from all the heroes.. seems like you're just picking carries when you probably already have 2-3 others in your games. Supports wins games.

There isn't much difference between 4/5... the way i see it... the one that has more ability to roam is #4 and the one that does hardcore babysitting is #5. either way... both needs to buy wards though #4 will have better farm since they will be ganking more. #4/#5 need 2 tps at all times just cuz it's pretty much the only way you'll get gold (tp to fights asap)

But on the subject of Starladder, the final series between Na'Vi and VGR was really really good. The games went on so much longer than I thought they would, and to Na'Vi's credit they kept going until the very end. There were some fantastic plays, and it's kind of unfeasible that VGR won with their coach as a standin. Although I guess being a coach he knew the team and their play styles quite well.

im pretty surr back in 2013 or 2014 a team had their coach standin as a mid TA, and ended up carrying the hell out of them like 14-0 in 30 minutes

Basically Earth Shaker with aghs gets a 4 second c/d, 900 range blink that doubles as a stun, Mirana spams starstorm every 8 seconds, gyro gets a side gunner that fires every 1.4 seconds and gets all the auras normal attacks would get, DP has been nerfed a little but she's still getting picked, silencer slows like a mother****er, new items that are largely going to go un-used, uhhhhhh, some map changes that aren't all that big and that's pretty much it.
Also, i played a couple of days ago and had this guy on my team.

ive seen the new items been used a lot lately. bloodthorne been thrown on heroes that don't necessarily benefit from bloodthorne, infused raindrop op lane item, tome of knowledge great for supports, windlace quite good item for supports, blightstone good lane item for harass, hurricane pike spammed on all ranged heroes. I think the new items are fairly good, hurricane pike maybe needs a rework, the ability doesn't feel right when in the middle of a teamfight

600-700 lately in my games where alche isnt a complete scrub. even if the person playing him is bad tho he can easily hit 600, he's pretty easy to get huge with, it's just building him correctly that most people get wrong.

yea I've actually tried mael + dom to fury + bot and had a pretty good gpm and ended up being pretty useful compared to current octarine/rad.

gpm is highly dependent on how short/long the game is, and high GPM can sometimes mean that you are not helping/contributing in team fights at all (IMO not too good of a indicator). should be easily around 600-700 though.
alch is more meta now which is exciting. still see a lot of people running him mid, rushing radiance + BoT and then core items

Well, I survived a double stun lane (WD and Venge) for about 8 minutes without dying, and ended up about 24/4. I bought sentries straight away to stay alive and I used them both before they even bought one. Had two decent supports in AA and Rubick which helped.
Kind of happy for Ad Finem who have finally qualified for something big :D

I'm also sick of their EG like drafts. I hate when teams pick some stupid hero like kunkka and then do some stupid strat like kunkka tinker or kunkka mid. IDK if sven was banned that game, but Sven would have been 100x more useful mid than kunkka. Also its like the casters said its 5 individually skilled players against teams. The odd part is they've all played together on different teams, why is it so hard for them now?

team secret pls pls start winning
Genuinely think that their team is a bit broken atm.
EE's playing so badly. Rtz dies too often. Universe doesn't seem like the player he was in EG. Puppey doing puppey things. Pieliedie = diedieidie.

What's everyone's thoughts on Na'Vi getting invite to major but not fnatic... heard it's been pretty controversial.Hard to say.. Na'Vi, to me, have been ****in killing it lately.
I'm sure some autist on reddit crunched all kinds of stats numbers and determined that Fnatic should've been 3.14% more likely to be invited. I'd like to read about the controversy if you've got links
Post by: pichu23 on Tue, 21 June 2016, 02:29:40
What's everyone's thoughts on Na'Vi getting invite to major but not fnatic... heard it's been pretty controversial.Since I'm from SEA, Malaysia (to be precise) but I don't live there currently (lol), I'd say Fnatic doesn't deserve it. And I can say most people in that region would say the same.
Roster stability or not, Fnatic rarely performs good on LAN, mostly online matches though. Hence the nick "SEA Boss". Although, I don't see any SEA teams in the qualifiers that will be on par with them, so I guess it's just another small obstacle for them.
And the kicking of Net is uncalled for.

i think fnatic is a better team overall, but the individual mechanical skill of na'vi gives them the edge that wins them matches
their teamwork and overall strategy definitely need to be improved on, you can see a clear skill gap in strategy and execution between teams like na'vi and teams like OG

RIP NA Salt Lord PPD. It's going to feel so odd watching EG now and not having him on the team. This round of shake ups has been pretty substantial, I feel like the scene is maturing a little more as the pro players figure things out. I wish there would be a points-based system for getting to TI though.

Better than an EG with Arteezy in it. Can't wait until he leaves again in about four months time.
Also, what is with guys leaving the team but staying with the team? PPD and Fear are still "with" EG and Akke and Bulldog are still "with" Alliance

eh, no idea whats wrong with the Arteezy hate, i've really blind hated Arteezy before, but after watching him for awhile, he's really got the skills to back him up.
PPD has been hinting about building an image on business, and so on, so I think PPD just wants to build the branding even further on EG and just manage them from now on (not sure if he's managing the team, or the organization), his girlfriend has SADBOYS copyrighted IIRC. Fear has been in EG since forever.. no surprise that EG would still keep him, like how Maelk is still with the organization. Same goes with Akke and Bulldog. They've made a team called "HORDE" for the SWEG thing. Alliance + Horde? They are probably still on contract with the team.

Yeah, I've no qualms with his skills at all. I just think he is toxic as ****. I know it's a small thing but he is a pro player who people clearly look up to and he just has bad habits he never grows out of.
That makes sense. I still think PPD is one of the best drafters of all time, so it seems a shame that they got rid of him, but if he wants something with a bit more long term focus then I guess team management is a better way to go. Isn't Charlie Yang coaching/managing the Dota team?

The "GET ME OUT OF THIS GAME" attitude that arteezy has going on his stream is indeed a problem.

yeah he might be toxic, but i've never seen or read any news about him from his teammates before, it's similar to how singsing is clownish while playing pubs, but gets really serious on competitive games.
charlie yang stopped managing them awhile ago, he went to work inside twitch instead (i mean, twitch owns EG anyway..), i legit wonder how they would fare honestly, as much as i hate ppd (bottle of salt, similar to how people hate on rtz), he's the reason why EG is so successful, not to mention losing the backbone of the team, fear. Cr1t will have a big shoe to fill.

It might not be a big thing, but he always disconnects before a game ends and never says GG, which in my eyes is a pretty ****ty thing to do. It was probably another reason why PPD left, I can't imagine him wanting to put up with that **** again.
Yeah, here's hoping their draft composition doesn't suffer because of PPD's exit.
The "GET ME OUT OF THIS GAME" attitude that arteezy has going on his stream is indeed a problem.
Yeah, I don't think Sing having fun in games is anywhere near as bad as that attitude tbh.

In regards to the quiting before saying GG a lot of players do this and it could be a habit from his solo ques where he does it so he can que asap (again a lot of players do this).
Apparently (according to some rumors) PPD got bodied off the team from a vote. Fear left so no vote from him, zai wanted rtz, sumail most likely went ppd, and then uni most likely went rtz again (based off him leaving for secret originally). Apparently PPD causes some problems (someone mentioned how at one tourney when he left to the bathroom the team started complaining about his drafting or some crap). What EG wrote about him also hints at this - they basically said we gave him a choice to play with a team (possible a team he makes with new people) or work in management. But all rumor and at the end of the day meaningless.
I think PPD is amazing when his pride doesn't show, and I used to hate him like rtz and sumail but after meeting all 3 and watching their streams I find them more enjoyable and Im a super rtz fangay now. I still semi dislike ppd but I think Id rather him over crit but I believe crit will put in some hard work.
Also according to some other forums with higher mmr player, rtz is super try hard when he doesnt stream. When hes streaming hes full tilt/meme.
My biggest fear with EG now is you have the two best mids, two best offlaners, and two best pos 4 supports. And each of them are greedy players. Universe cant play like how he usually does (safe and then play making) he needs to create space from the start. Zai knows how to create space and needs to do so (this is what I liked about Aui on eg). Let rtz and sumail get all the farm and shine.

Man True sight episode 2 was so good. This EG version is my favorite team to watch (actually favorite team Period.), its like a dream team of friends. Also, it was super interesting to see FNATIC's downfall. The difference in communication between the two shows a lot about the internals of Dota teams.
Yeah, Fnatic's in a mess. Anyways, just to put it out, contrary to the popular belief, no one really likes Mushi in Malaysia.
Most of us consider him a team wrecker more than anything. I feel that he's being too authoritarian and the way he treats his teammates is just really really bad.
But good to see new bloods (i.e. WG.Unity) stepping it up. Hopefully only moving forward from here for SEA DotA :D

I mean I'm pretty sure some people are playing it on wc3 still
The issue blizzard is facing is that there's no room for 2 of these games in the market, because the size of Strategy games players has diminished as they've all gone to mobo..
So they can't exactly release warcraft 4 because that would mean abandoning starcraft 2 which has been a VERY EXPENSIVE development..
So they're clinging like compulsive gamblers, they keep bleeding, but hoping that the machine will pay out --eventually--
WHICH IT WON'T because starcraft 2 Micro-gameplay is just too fast for humans to play effectively....

I have not yet reinstalled though. I don't think I will. Managed to get Skyrim SE working again so I will be involved in that for a while.
I think the map changes are alright. I guess they are trying to reduce the dire side advantage, but I know what you mean about the asymmetrical map being a plus point.

This happens when the game has accrued a large age/experience gap of players
If you got a bunch of 12 year olds playing with a bunch of 24 - 35 yr olds.. What do you suppose will happen..
But because dota can't distinguish player age at signup, it can not make better matches.
Imagine a dating app service that doesn't have profile pictures.. that's what Dota is.. the majority will be bad matches..
Well, of course then you say, well TP, maybe these 24-35 yr olds should stop playing dota...
Yea.. probably, but what else are the #Roneries going to do , go outside and exercise ?

Nah, the old guys just do it on their terms, get a 5 stack at a lan and drunkenly troll together. That's what we always did. It is what you make it. I mostly watch these days. Easier to throw on a stream while I'm doing stuff around the house.

Ok tried out this game, but I don't really understand the macro too good. What are you supposed to do when you get a kill to extend your lead? Also is the pathing bugged sometimes? My char spazzes out once in a while, walking back into the fight low af :))
depends who you pickoff/ how many, usually you would push a tower/shove a lane or try to gain some vision advantage. There is also roshan which is dependent on timing/your lineup/vision. but honestly the BEST thing you can do is safely farm your jungle /s
pathing can be buggy if you click anywhere in the jungle yea, and sometimes it does some weird pathing if you click somewhere further away or issue a follow command by mistake, turn off autoattack too if you have it on.
