The gloves ๐Ÿ˜”

vital pollen
#

but my naix helmet is only giftable

#

not marketable

tight sluice
#

weird

#

?

tacit epoch
#

Nightstalker could use more cosmetics

#

He has like 2 sets available

tender fox
#

remember good old days when someone created a new steam game to make fake dota2 items and scam ppl

#

hataro would have fallen for it 10/10 times

tight sluice
#

yeah except

#

you know

#

this is

#

every single ti10 immortal

#

another 10 iq comment from mizu

#

but uh this is weird i think they're still only marketable post this BP I dunno why it's showing 1 on the market for each

errant tusk
#

did they make them marketable suseg

#

that would be nice

#

wanna buy ursa set

#

not tradable but you can get some of them from this candy shit

#

i think

#

so hence some of them are tradable?

#

idk if correct lore

vital pollen
#

yeah id assume so

tacit epoch
#

Seems like there's a lot of returning players with outdated builds

#

Had a specter radiance and battlefury jugg enjoyers

tight sluice
#

I dont think BF jugg is bad

#

Just not really the current build

#

Rad spec though is

#

That's REAL old

errant tusk
#

radi specter is ok if you have very free game

#

which you almsot never will coz spectre is bad laner

#

many heroes can still go bf like void or mk

#

but most people dont LULE

versed matrix
#

farm BF lose by minute 20, pog games sometimes

errant tusk
#

on hero like faceless void attack speed is just to op

#

so you almost alweays go maelstrom

#

so you can go mjolnir later

#

i make bf on ursa very often and i win most of my ursa games yep

#

its just so fun pressing w and one shotting full camp/creepwave

versed matrix
#

I remember a game where I was AM and got bf + manta and we got fucked in the ass min 20

#

๐Ÿ˜ฟ

errant tusk
#

am is just trash

#

hero has only 1 viable build

#

cant do anything in fights

#

you need so much

#

need skadi/manta/bfury to join fights nowadays

#

coz otherwise you die to random aoe dmg

#

fucking pos4 tiny can one shot you with just blink and level 8

#

while you have manta/bfury

#

or close to one shot you

#

if you wanna build bfury and win games probably PA better choice

#

if you love item

#

at least contributes with dagger from far

Fuckig arcana Andy's

But jugg is so fun this patch. Get shard and spin to win

tight sluice

It's actually tragic.

Just go back to no lifesteal on W if they were going to put her in the ground

Im a potm enjoyer

tight sluice
#

I walk into her arrows all the fucking time

#

I can't see them

stiff pebble
#

Pay to lose cosmetic.

tight sluice
#

yeah no kidding

#

her base arrows are so fucking hard to see it's unreal

stiff pebble
#

It used to be popular for a very long time

#

And then people just stopped skinning her arrow cuz it's just throwing

buoyant sage
#

it's not hard to see tbh

#

and it wasnt popular wtf

#

like you literally can dodge most arrow just by paying attention

#

shit is a giant shiny flying harlberd

stiff pebble
#

I mean the base model isn't giant but it's really not that hard to dodge no.

buoyant sage

came back home after business trip

I can finally play diretide

tight sluice

nah

its really fucking hard to see

in the middle of everything

stiff pebble
#

also the HUD, better times

tender fox
#

necro doing a little ancient afk farming

tight sluice
#

hell nah

#

that hud is terrible lol

stiff pebble
#

It was a better time because there was a lot of flexibility for skins, something that we lost almost entirely with the UI redo

#

A lot of those skins are very janky and silly but still nice to have

buoyant sage
#

I literally

#

harvested people

buoyant sage
#

wth

tight sluice
#

I might just start spamming dawn mid

buoyant sage
#

played her p3 that game

#

we were playing against cavern crawl enjoyers tho so we steam rolled this game

tight sluice
#

im so done with this fucking game

#

why did they let

#

people quueue into ranked

#

with level 1 bp

errant tusk
#

@vital pollen

#

bring back the only good patch

vital pollen
#

the one where youd sit in front of the enemy base with tb/luna/naga/drow and a shadow demon

#

and chip the tower 50hp at a time

#

until rax are dead

#

where offlaner got bullied out of lane at level1 but it didnt matter cuz iron talon existed and they still hit lv6 before minute 10?

errant tusk
vital pollen
#

was fun to play pos3

#

sit in trees

#

get 1-2 levels from every creep being denied

#

then fuck off to jungle with iron talon from passive gold

#

the moment you show yourself, you get banged by 2 supports and the carry

tacit epoch
#

Community votes for skins have begun

tight sluice
#

community vote?

#

we have arcana at home

tight sluice
#

how does collectors cache work

#

is it like just a lootbox you buy?

#

or do you get it with bp levels

tacit epoch
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

#

Hoping the terrorblade set makes it tho

stiff pebble
#

This is also fucking tremendous...

#

This is also fucking insane,

buoyant sage
#

snapfire skins are awesome too

#

a lot are actually it's insane

#

the amount of work to do that shit, love the pirate themed skins too

tight sluice
#

Hmm I dont remember the chen set

#

I voted the primal and doom day though those are nice

tacit epoch
#

Marci sets causing controversy dracthyr_kek

stiff pebble
#

Yeah lol

#

I really really really really liked a couple of them, but some of the, for lack of a better word, pop star style or like anime pop star style is a little weird

tight sluice
#

people calling the pink one star guardian marci

stiff pebble
#

Yeah lol

tacit epoch
#

I'd take the belle delphine marci for the gloves only tho

#

Some ye

vital pollen
#

yeah i really hope i wont have to see this

#

in my games

#

ever

tight sluice
#

i voted for it

#

I hope u do

vital pollen
#

no

#

im not gonna vote for a mute hero to also get a blindfold

#

get that weeb shit outta my game

tight sluice
#

this the best marci set

#

this is the best cache set

#

period

tight sluice
buoyant sage
#

imagine unironically playing Huskar

tight sluice
#

ursa set is pretty good too

#

and primal

tender fox
#

just buy cowboy ursa

vital pollen
#

all the marci sets sucked

#

best sets were tentacle doom, undying and limerick hoodwink

#

simple but cool

#

this one is sick too

#

shipwreck morph was nice too

#

but yeah idk

#

dont like sets very much that completely change the shape/color-scheme of the hero

errant tusk
#

@vital pollen100% chance more than 1 marci skin goes through

tacit epoch
#

Think they should limit to one skin per hero

vital pollen
#

the maid skin will almost definitely get in, i think

errant tusk
vital pollen
#

its a good skin

#

i just dont like it, personally

errant tusk
#

id rather get some small balance patch

#

than more skins

vital pollen
#

yeah i mean

#

not the same people

#

these are all community made anyway

tight sluice
#

I mean I've been hovering around like 7.9 to 8.5

#

I legit dont get hoe you can maintain that BS and still be a sane individual

buoyant sage
#

been on 10k score for years now

#

just dont be toxic

#

mute ppl and play the game at your best without paying attention at what ppl miss because they'll ultimately miss something at some point

vital pollen
#

If you're not at 10k or >9.9k, you're doing something wrong

#

Dropping below even 9.9k requires multiple reports over half a dozen games

alpine wren
#

the lowest ive ever been is 9950

#

:(

#

i got repor

versed matrix
#

I dont think behaviour score existed when I last played

buoyant sage
#

I always play in a 3+ player stack too so it helps

#

but like, ppl will do shit that will eventually annoy you so the best thing was, is and always will be to ignore/mute

tacit epoch
#

you don't type trash into chat and you're sitting perma 10k

#

it's that simple

tight sluice
#

I've lost BS with full green report card

#

So

#

It's really easy to lose BS tbh

vital pollen
#

Communication abuse doesn't show as a report

tight sluice
#

It shows up on your card when you get it

#

But I've had reports come in where its fully green, no communication abuse and I've dropped score

#

It's a weird af system

vital pollen
#

It really isn't

stiff pebble
vital pollen
#

Don't be a toxic shithead and you'll sit at 10k score permanently

tight sluice
#

So dont flame people who intentionally grief

#

Got it

stiff pebble
#

There's a report system for that

tight sluice
#

that does nothing

#

so thank you for that advice

#

you can't report soft griefing

vital pollen
#

Gee i wonder why you're not 10k behavior score

tight sluice
#

I know why I'm not 10k seli

stiff pebble
#

Soft... Griefing....

#

Ok.

tight sluice
#

I was asking how anyone can maintain 10k without saying anything to these people

vital pollen
#

Rage less over a video game. People play bad. People make mistakes. The report and overwatch system are perfectly adequate for reporting people.

tight sluice
# stiff pebble Soft... Griefing....

yes, soft griefing. We use the term in league so like. Support coming to wave and intentionally ruining your wave state with abilities. Using abilities on the wave/you to troll. Other small things like this

#

hard griefing is

#

running it down, selling/destroying items

stiff pebble
#

That just sounds like they don't know what they're doing, that doesn't sound like griefing

tight sluice
#

I literally had a necro support the other day. Got himself hooked by pudge 4 twice, procede to blame me for getting hooked

#

then spammed his ghost things on the creeps to CS

#

soft griefing

tight sluice
vital pollen
#

It's not griefing. It's being bad at the game. You're some wood league player talking about bad players. Play better yourself then you won't play with bad players as much.

tight sluice
#

but it's "soft" because the system literally just cannot detect it

vital pollen
#

Don't rage as much and you won't get matched with shit behavior score players

stiff pebble
#

I mean it sounds like your detecting something that doesn't exist

#

Chill.

stiff pebble
#

That really doesn't sound like something you can know for certain that someone is doing on purpose.

tight sluice
#

I've been at the bottom of BS

stiff pebble
#

Yeah you're going to get cute with poo poo players regardless

#

But you sure do get matched with a few of them when you yourself are not on the same level

tight sluice
#

and with green BS is pretty good comparitively but you still get people intentionally ruining games

#

every few games

#

even up to like 8.5k BS

#

and also racism

stiff pebble
#

Yeah it turns out that people are angry shitheads

vital pollen
tight sluice
#

I have never in 10 years of playing league seen so much racism in a game

#

probably cause in league that shit gets you auto banned immediately

vital pollen
#

instead of having a global game

tight sluice
#

I mean

#

dota should region lock too that's a whole other issue

vital pollen
#

no it shouldnt

tight sluice
#

but either way

stiff pebble
#

No

tight sluice
#

it's not just racism towards spanish speakers

vital pollen
#

"report toxic people"
"reporting doesnt do anything anyway, useless system"
complains about too much toxicity

tight sluice
#

point is league has a system that auto bans you for certain words and it's very rare to see it in games because you actually get banned. Dota worst case you lose like 1000 BS which you can just go play turbo 3/4/5 for 15 games and you've fixed it again

#

but anyway

stiff pebble
#

Or you could just block them...

tight sluice
#

I know I'm toxic

#

but I just wonder how other people can sit t here and not say anything

#

like I don't get it

#

if someone did some shit to "grief" me in real life

#

I'd say shit to them

vital pollen
#

ah yes, ban people in a f2p game so they just create new accounts all the time and ruin new players games while continuing to be toxic shitheads. much better system

stiff pebble
#

Because people just block people and move on with their days

tender fox
#

my dude u sit at 1k mmr im sure u do 100 things thats considered grief every game

stiff pebble
#

If they start raging over voice you just block voice and move on with your day

tight sluice
#

you can't block gameplay

tender fox
#

how are u gonna nitpick on other ppls stuff

tight sluice
#

and you can't block people trolling

stiff pebble
#

You also can't ban automatically for gameplay

tight sluice
#

i don't care what people say

tight sluice
#

or if they flame me

vital pollen
#

psure i could watch a single replay

#

and find 50 reasons to report you for "intentional griefing"

stiff pebble
#

You were specifically talking about what people say, if people are intentionally briefing you fucking report them and let the system sort it out

vital pollen
#

or "soft griefing" like you like to call it

tight sluice
#

my point is

stiff pebble
#

Pseudogriefing if you will

tight sluice
#

the system won't sort it

stiff pebble
#

Kind of griefing

tight sluice
#

you'

vital pollen
#

people at your MMR shouldnt even be allowed to report others for griefing other than destroying items/running down a lane, cause you dont have the skill to judge others and what they did "intentionally"

stiff pebble
#

Yeah I do think it's interesting that people that 1K can report for gameplay related stuff

#

Especially now since you can't run the courier down mid

tight sluice
#

I mean I can tell the difference between when someone is just bad and someone is just ruining the game on purpose

#

I had a level 1 BP CM

vital pollen
#

its the equivalent of a greyparsing LFR raider having input on the balancing of the game

tight sluice
#

sit in the lane the other day and do nothing

#

like literally nothing

#

he was just bad and returning player

vital pollen
tight sluice
#

I just said get the fuck out of my lane

#

and mirana come safe lane

#

we did

vital pollen
#

if you had that skill like you think you did, you wouldnt be low mmr anymore

tight sluice
#

and the game was fine

vital pollen
#

you need to learn to get some perspective

tight sluice
#

imagine not even understanding how people are intentionally ruining games

#

and this is the reponse

#

this is why they do it

#

cause you have people like u who think "oh they're just bad" when it's clearly they're doing it on purpose

vital pollen
#

at your level, some people have good mechanical skill but horrible map awareness or understanding of how to lane. others might suck at lasthitting but actually know how to ward. others might know how to gank but suck at everything else. no one at your skill level does all these things well, because if they did, theyd have higher mmr.

that applies to you too.

tight sluice
#

especially when you know they type in chat

#

"ok you get no cs now"

#

and spam abilities on the wave

vital pollen
#

then you report them

#

then you mute them

#

and move on

tight sluice
#

this why I play mid

vital pollen
#

and you climb MMR

stiff pebble
#

Ez

vital pollen
#

because the odds of someone like that being in your team

#

are 4/10

#

whereas for the other team its 5/10

tight sluice
#

worst case scenario with mid your supports are just dumb and don't tp

stiff pebble
#

Until I creep up from bottom lane and steal your creep in mid

tight sluice
#

to help you

vital pollen
#

unless ofc you yourself are a person like that, at which point you will stay in "elo hell" because you still cannot realize that youre part of the problem

tight sluice
#

because of the fact you're not directly laning with them so

#

you don't "trigger them" or something

stiff pebble
#

I think at 1k mmr it's ridiculous to expect anyone to TP to counter gank or assist

tight sluice
#

most times in mid I'm in my own little bubble listing to the sidelanes screeching at each other

vital pollen
# tight sluice to help you

or, yaknow, play mid better so your supports dont have to. cause at a higher skill level, supports dont tp mid to "help their mid" other than refilling bottle

tight sluice
#

so if your mid is getting dove by 2/3 people

#

you don't tp

#

you just let them die

vital pollen
#

then your sidelines are having an easy game

vital pollen
#

if your mid is getting dived by 2-3 people, odds are you die with them if you tp

tight sluice
#

maybe ok at ur mmr

#

if I'm getting camped by 2/3 people the game is over

vital pollen
#

odds are the support doesnt have mana after the TP to do anything anyway

tight sluice
#

ain't no fucking way these 1k pos 1 players are taking advantage of this

vital pollen
#

okay

#

gimme a replay

tender fox
#

you are talking as if you are the one winning 1v5 every game when i nfact ur teammates are the smae mmr

vital pollen
#

ill do a review

tight sluice
#

I dunno seli I can't remember a replay where I'm getting dove constantly

vital pollen
#

any replay will do

tight sluice
#

I think I have an OD game wher etheir supports will just sit mid

#

what's your point

#

to review my replay anyway

#

I know I'm bad

vital pollen
#

hataro the type of player to play mid or pos1 and then when he wins the game with 30k networth he writes "youre welcome for carry" in team-chat, even though thats the role he picked

tight sluice
#

this whole conversation started talking about people ruining games on purpose

#

that happens in every bracket

tight sluice
vital pollen
#

you are in no position to judge whether someone is doing smth on purpose or not, unless hes actively admitting to it in chat - at which point you report them

tight sluice
#

literally having a good support moves me to tears

#

at times

vital pollen
#

you play

#

at 1k mmr

#

you dont have good supports

tight sluice
#

like holy shit I don't have to do anything this lane

#

it's just free

vital pollen
#

you think you have the ability to judge how well others are playing. you dont.

buoyant sage
tight sluice
#

my definition of good seli

#

is like

#

just doing anything

#

other than sitting there

#

soaking xp

#

I kinda wanna play dota now

vital pollen
#

you think you have the ability to judge how well others are playing. you dont.

tight sluice
#

fuck league

#

game dogshit

buoyant sage
#

the thing you dont understand my dude that they wont learn dota during the game you're playing with them

tight sluice
#

ok I will get you a replay

buoyant sage
#

you HAVE to deal with it

#

or you dont play the game

#

thats what PUG life is

tight sluice
#

maybe find a hard game

vital pollen
#

dota is a teamgame, yes

#

but why do you think good players manage to smurf and go 100-0 playing mid in these games, even if they have enemy supports sitting mid all game?

tight sluice
#

@vital pollen6858545114

#

honestly I can't remember this game

#

that one is kinda a stomp I hate these

#

but um the honest thing is I'm not a smurf

#

and I'm not good enough to carry griefing players

#

so I get mad

#

and flame the griefers

#

why do u think I've had like 40+ league accounts

vital pollen
#

do smth about it?

#

you clearly have anger issues

tight sluice
#

only in competitive games

vital pollen
#

you cant grow as a player, or a human being, if youre letting these fester and not deal with them

tight sluice
#

I'm actually pretty chill IRL

#

but uh

#

yeah

#

if you want to review replay

#

I think I fucked up a ton in the game

#

I linked

#

although it was a giga stomp

versed matrix
#

I played 1 game vs bots

#

and my mechanics are gone

#

xd

#

I tried the new spam S with autorepeat auto attack

#

why wont dota let me open console

what is this witchcraft

#

awesome dude

tender fox
vital pollen
#

yeah same, was good fun

#

anyway

#

lets check this replay rq

tight sluice
#

I whiffed some ults

#

there were some incedents

buoyant sage
#

oh found it

vital pollen
#

how the fuck did you find that that quickly

stiff pebble
buoyant sage
#

I remembered I played Dazzle that game

#

we did a captains mode

#

and ceb was like "lets pick dazzle"

#

I was the noobiest in the stack and realized mid game I was key for the Necro survival

#

another one

#

dude perma wanted to pick dazzle idk

vital pollen
#

okay so, youre not harrassing at all in lane

#

your only harrass is with shadow strike, which is useless cuz you play against an LC

#

youre also getting firstblood, and you use it to bottlerush, when you literally dont need an early bottle that game

#

youre pulling creeps into your tower, instead of keeping creep equilibrium in the center of the lane where the LC will struggle lasthitting cause everytime she goes for a lasthit, you attack her 2-3 times

#

so youre not at all adjusting to the way the lane plays, and as a result, youre underfarmed on a lane you should be winning by level 5

#

youre full hp and 80% mana

#

and you leave lane before your first big powerspike to grab a bounty

#

and as a result youre missing out on a flagbearer creepwave

buoyant sage
vital pollen
#

you then get a haste rune top, and could get an easy kill on the enemy carry with it

#

but your lack of map awareness makes you miss out on it

#

why are you griefing intentionally?

#

you grab a haste top

buoyant sage
#

report hataro

errant tusk
vital pollen
#

and that is

#

a PA

#

lv4

#

with half hp

#

getting chased by the undying

buoyant sage
#

play support and increase your map awareness my dude

vital pollen
#

and its all because you went to grab a bounty

#

cause that made you miss out on the first siegewave

tight sluice
#

when

#

do you go get bountys?

#

like right at 3/6

vital pollen
#

so yours is dead, other teams isnt, meaning as you go for the lv6 rune, the enemy wave is pushing into your tower, so have to choose between a kill and wave XP/gold

#

you dont unless you need to

#

usually the enemy support will grab yours anyway

buoyant sage
#

pos 4 usually does it

vital pollen
#

like, pos4 usually grabs the one from the enemy team

#

okay so

#

after missing that super easy kill

#

you activate the haste and run top

#

in the most obvious way possible

#

you still got a creep on you

#

everybody knows youre coming

#

enemy mid immediately pings that youre missing

#

you secure a doublekill, nice, and then you tp mid with no hp/mana

tight sluice
#

I think

#

I die there

#

legion divs me with lion

vital pollen
#

no

#

he solo kills you

#

just runs at you

#

cause you have blink cooldown

#

cause you blinked for no reason

#

in place

#

like bro

#

you talk about seeing other people "Intentionally grief"

#

and just watching you play for 7 minutes

#

theres 3 situations

vital pollen
#

where i would argue

#

youre intentionally griefing

#

by picking up a haste and not ganking with it the moment you get it

#

or by feeding enemy mid

#

cuz you blink in place

#

and she just runs at you

#

and duels you

#

under your tower

#

do you see what i mean

tight sluice
#

intentionally griefing is ruining games on purpose

vital pollen
#

yeah

tight sluice
#

that's obv not what im doing

#

but I linked replay for advice not for you to flame me

vital pollen
#

you are in NO position to judge whether misplays by other people are intentional or not

#

my advice is to focus on your own game instead of whining about how others are ruining it, cause you are in no position to judge that

#

i dont play mid much, but heres what i would do: if you find a good ganking rune like haste, dd or invis, you move towards the lane where you found it immediately

#

if you move back to mid

#

and you wanna gank with that rune

#

you tp

#

you dont run to the lane again

#

cuz it takes too long

#

so i.e. with a haste, you either immediately rotate cuz people will be caught off guard by how quick youre on their lane, cuz no one predicts a haste

#

or you tp and do it that way

#

you shouldnt bottlerush against an enemy mid that has no way to harrass you

#

qop dumpsters most melee heroes. lc isnt as easy cuz she just dispells your shadow strike. but you can still just keep hitting her until she cant lasthit anymore

#

you got firstblood, just buy a null

#

thats 6 extra damage to harrass

tight sluice
vital pollen
#

yeah, esp on heroes like qop who can do a lot

tight sluice
#

thats advice you gave

#

I got a triple on TA at rune one game

vital pollen
#

yeah. my point is, the best advice to gain ranks, is to not be toxic. no individual mechanical skill improvement will help you climb ranks as much, as honing your ability to play with your team and keeping a positive mental attitude will

tender fox
#

look at grubby just started the game and climbed to what 2.5k without a single flame

#

ur stuck at 1k mmr after 2k games so maybe realize ur not in a position to flame other ppl

#

you where u belong

tight sluice
#

grubby is a pro player in another game and got coached by a ton of high mmr players bro

#

I am not grubby

#

lmfao

#

I am trash

versed matrix
#

im 1k because dogshit teammates

#

kappa

tight sluice
#

I have never been pro level in any game

tender fox
#

ye imagine him knowing how superior he is and still dont flame

#

and you still think ur better than the ppl in ur games

tight sluice
#

different personalities

tacit epoch
#

Flaming is also illogical

#

If someone makes a mistake

#

They most likely know it

#

So if you flame you're just throwing salt in the wound

tender fox
#

nah in hataros experience it make htem play 200% better and he win games

tacit epoch
#

And further tilting the guy

tight sluice
#

ngl

#

asking me not to flame or get angry at shit plays

#

is just

#

not possible

vital pollen
#

it is. youre just not willing to

tight sluice
#

i can review my

vital pollen
#

you should literally just

tight sluice
#

own play after

vital pollen
#

mute everybody

#

the moment game starts

tender fox
#

prolly not qualified to review ur own games either PEPW

buoyant sage
#

I clearly say out loud on voice (not in game) when someone doing shit, but just dont type or open VOIP

#

it just tilts ppl

#

make em play worse

#

you too

vital pollen
#

youre spending too much time on watching what other people are doing wrong

#

cuz youre looking for it

buoyant sage
#

either manage your anger issues or dont play any competitive/multiplayer game tbh

versed matrix
#

also wtf have they done with courier binds

vital pollen
#

its like going into a pug in m+ and expecting everybody to be shit, and then someone makes a mistake, cuz obviously no one is perfect, and it confirms your bias

#

you think youre in elohell stuck with trash players who grief on purpose, and so thats what you look for, and you find it, and you see your bias confirmed

tender fox
#

hataro like preheat

buoyant sage
#

it's like you want to be obtuse on purpose

tender fox
#

he would be flaming a ti winner in his team

vital pollen
#

imagine if you had a more positive outlook on playing the game and would look for the good things they do, and commend them for it, and motivate them to do even better

#

your rank would skyrocket

tight sluice
#

i never think this

#

doesnt stop me getting mad tho

vital pollen
#

then you should figure what the issue is/whats causing it

tender fox
#

cus seeing his teammates mistake make him realize how bad he actually is despair

tacit epoch
vital pollen
#

like legit

tacit epoch
#

You high five after a successful gank and it makes ppl slightly happier

vital pollen
#

change your outlook on the game

buoyant sage
#

when team mate gets a kil I send a >RRRRRRRAMPAAAAGE

tacit epoch
#

his brain is so big

vital pollen
#

you will always confirm your biases

#

so if you change your bias

#

youll enjoy the game more

#

and gain ranks as well

#

its the same with m+

#

i rarely have a bad pug experience, cause i look for the good plays that people make

#

others do the opposite, so they rage when an interrupt gets missed cuz that shit just fucking happens, nothing bad about it

#

and they all think pugs are awful

errant tusk
#

@vital pollenWeirdege

vital pollen
#

nice

#

cant play ranked anymore

errant tusk
#

so now we cant play together

vital pollen
#

well done

errant tusk
vital pollen
#

cuz you always play without me

errant tusk
#

I LITERALLY

versed matrix
#

is that immortal?

errant tusk
#

ASKED YOU YDAY

#

AND YOU GHOSTED

vital pollen
#

"ghosted"

#

i just

#

didnt respond

errant tusk
#

INVITED YOU TO GAME TOO YE

vital pollen
#

for 20minutes

#

cuz i wayp laying other game

errant tusk
vital pollen
#

i dont see steam notifications

#

i muted them

#

decades ago

buoyant sage
#

me when I see Sebek

#

when I realize hes a Morph picker

errant tusk
#

im bad morph

#

i stopped playing it

#

think i gave up on playing morph

buoyant sage
errant tusk
#

im just mk/ursa/slark/jugg picker now

buoyant sage
#

ethical

errant tusk
#

idk if im bad at morph or its a hero that kinda needs specific picks

#

like people in pubs see morph

#

and last pick stupid shit like sniper

#

or arc warden

#

and people be like why do we have to play 3v5

#

well coz your midlaner last picked arc warden when we have morph

buoyant sage
#

arc warden is a nightmare fuel in itself

errant tusk
#

also anytime i picked it some guy would last pick pl or naga into you and its Weirdege

#

all my games against pl i lose coz we have nothing against pl coz its last pick pl

#

everytime carry player gets last pick its last pick pl i swear

buoyant sage
#

lost my 10-win Clock streak yesterday

#

we got fucked hard by pl last pick the other day

#

we literally had NOTHING to stop him, ran at us

#

gg

errant tusk
#

miserable when you dont have good hero for him

buoyant sage
#

horrible

tender fox
#

should i log in to an old dota acc and ruin games or on a decayed mmr and still lose Hmmm

errant tusk
#

your mmr is gonna be real low

#

so probably wont be that baed

#

bad*

#

like you will be archon probably if its rly not been touched

#

i did placements in 2k16 and i ended up on divine 2 or sth

tender fox
errant tusk
#

then i didnt play for 2-3 more years

#

and i ended up on legend5/ancient1

#

or sth like that

tender fox
#

and then i got an account that i logged in on every ti and played like 5-10 games that is now down at archon KEKW

errant tusk
#

ye

#

makes sense

#

the mmr decay is pretty strong

#

or maybe gets exponentially stronger idk

tender fox
#

maybe calibrate this old divine acc to see where its at for science

errant tusk
#

4 years ago you palyed on divine

#

so probably gonna end up legend

#

id assume?

#

so like b etween 3-4k

tender fox
#

no idea

errant tusk
#

id guess so

#

my stats actually not as fucked

tender fox
versed matrix
#

yeah I have like 50 there

#

idk what it bases it off of

errant tusk
#

this associate phone witth dota is dumbest shit ever

#

coz you can just swap it around multiple accs

tender fox
#

how is it to few hours

errant tusk
#

you have it on the acc you linked?

tender fox
errant tusk
#

probably you played at times where you could JUST go ranked

#

but then they changed system

#

and you had no reason to play unranked

#

so you almost never did

#

they changed that system more than once

tender fox
#

ye i guess

errant tusk
#

some of us that have accs from like 2011/12/13/14 maybe even

#

when there was no ranked

#

we just got this part for free

#

because ye there was only unraked

#

even tho there was hidden mmr

tender fox
#

well this acc should also be from then

errant tusk
#

but it was 'unranked'

tender fox
#

oh well

#

i actually had like 6 accs

#

cus was unplayable with friends unless low mmr

#

or rather my friends where so bad they couldnt play vs any real opponent

versed matrix
#

all I knew back then was "very high skill" tag on dotabuff

buoyant sage
tight sluice
#

one thing I hate about dota

#

I have to play support ;ie

#

every 4 games

tender fox
#

you should try to main support instead

tight sluice
#

WHY

#

its so boring

#

I respect the hell people play this for their main role

buoyant sage
#

"support is so boring"

proceeds to hit 350 creeps for 30 min

tight sluice
#

I main mid dadsen

buoyant sage
#

started dota playin mid, then pos 3, then I truly learned the game playing the role I main today

#

pos 4

tight sluice
#

offlane is fun af too

#

only time I enjoy support

#

is when I play marci

#

or rubick

buoyant sage
#

it should obligatory to play at least X games as support, literally a perma map awareness lesson

#

warding sense, positioning

#

all the fundamentals

tight sluice
#

yeah it's still boring af

buoyant sage
#

wrong + L take + cuck core player

tight sluice
#

they really need to put some qop boot cosmetics in the game

tender fox
#

lol my eyes got tired from just 1 game, not used to gaming

tight sluice
#

@vital pollen ok this was a bit intentionally grief

#

LOL

#

didnt do that on purpose lmfao

#

i was kiting the camp with a click and accidentally clicked the bounty

vital pollen
errant tusk
#

if his team didnt grief they would win anyway

tight sluice
#

team bad not me

vital pollen
#

just typical pango issue

#

of people thinking you roll into the direction you blink

#

but you keep the momentum you have when you blink, so he keeps rolling to the right

tight sluice
#

is pango a good hero to learn

vital pollen
#

yes

#

good hero for both pos3 and pos1

torn girder
#

Hataro just stop being 1k noob they are right lol

tight sluice
#

?

#

ta arcana when

tacit epoch
#

They should make more support cosmetics

#

Got some excellent disruptor players that were playing the hero because of the new mount

versed matrix
#

I won a game of dota 2

stiff pebble
versed matrix
#

our puck smurfed them

stiff pebble
versed matrix
#

50 min game tho

#

I was tide offlane

#

1-3, ez first day

tender fox
#

im 3-2 in archon bracket omegalul

versed matrix
#

I had to play 5 in 2 games

tender fox
#

winning support losing core

versed matrix
#

CM x2 but mid/off lost in both games

#

got 1 beastmaster game in but it was into ursa and I had a real nice DP as my 4

#

he thought he was 3 though

#

gutter strats all around

#

idk what to really do as a 5 when lane is in good position for my carry

#

and I cant really trade anymore

vital pollen
#

invade triangle

versed matrix
#

as CM vs WR + legion for example

vital pollen
#

check if theyve been stacking

#

get a ward in their triangle

#

get bounties/cover 6/8min rune

#

do double-stack in your jungle

versed matrix
#

idk my carry just died under tower when I went a way for a bit

vital pollen
#

well it depends on where the lane is

#

if creeps are close to enemy tower

#

you need to stay

#

cuz they can chase down the carry

versed matrix
#

just outside of dire tower

#

as I said it was good position for my carry

vital pollen
#

you wanna leave when lane is close to your own tower

versed matrix
#

but he just died

vital pollen
#

couldve just been misplay from him

versed matrix
#

no boots low key sad as cm

vital pollen
#

but you shouldnt babysit for as long, especially if lane equilibrium is good

#

gotta get your own item progression going, help other lanes, get vision up or stack for your carry/mid

versed matrix
#

yeah I tried to give him the lane and use spells on the heroes from the side

#

I had decent item progression myself but my cores had no farm both games

#

and I was food for their picks

#

I just need to start with lane fundamentals for all roles and relearn everything

#

tide game was the best, lane went decently even though my silencer fed the PA we got kills

#

was weird though because I couldnt really frontline because they picked doom

#

in the end our puck smurfed on them

#

ill probably try to focus on 3/5 for now because I wont get anything else

tight sluice
#

I fucked this game up

#

so bad

#

we couldve won

#

I fucked up at the end and blinked in wrong

tight sluice
#

god I love dota

#

like games are never over

#

you can always fight back

stiff pebble
#

Yep

buoyant sage
#

of course you can, not over till it's over

#

not like surrend15 of legends

torn girder
#

nah ill never blame people for ff@15 in league lol

#

that game has terrible comeback ability

#

your comeback criteria is, did your enemy throw

#

enemy threw? ight comeback time

buoyant sage
#

Id ff @15 every game if I had to play this game too

tight sluice
#

Theres alot of reasons why comebacks are harder.

Mainly because items are just pure stats really and ita alot harder to overcome level/item deficits

torn girder
#

ye leagues bad

tight sluice
#

Also if you lose top and die twice the lane is over and you're fucked unless your team is stomping.

torn girder
#

well ye your spells actually scale from items way harder lol so if you gain a lead its almost impossible to comeback unless the other team goes afk

#

because

#

their spells hit for 1000 yours hit for 500

#

congrats

#

you just get rolled

#

unless they just miss their spells over and over

tight sluice
#

Only thing is shutdowns can swing games way harder.

torn girder
#

meh

tight sluice
#

1k shutdown to the wrong person will swing the game hard

#

But the whole shutdown system is dumb

#

Even if you're getting stomped you can get a shutdown on losing team

#

Theres other things too like.

Herald creates a massive problem for losing team as winning team just knocks down all your towers easily

#

Plates are basically extra kills

#

But ye. Comebacks happen more in dota and also games are longer rn

#

I hate high ground

#

But at the same time it's good

tight sluice
#

@torn girder do you main playing mid

torn girder
#

thats what i played mostly while climbing from my first calibration of like low/mid 2k to 4k

tight sluice
#

Ic

#

I need some new mid picks

tender fox
#

oh god beat some tinker spammer cus tree vision is op

torn girder
#

those are generic mid laners that dont really have super ass lanes

#

and usually are mediocre at worst

tight sluice
#

Ye I like lesh and DP. I don't really like lina tbh

torn girder
#

why not

tacit epoch
#

Kunka cleave go brrr

tight sluice
#

I dunno I just dont

#

Shes ok

torn girder
#

tbh i dont like the physical kunkka build

#

i wish the game was slow enough that you could go fuckign like

#

radiance eternal shroud aghs on him

#

but its too slow and just sucks lmao

#

kunkka aghs probably my favorite aghs in the game

tight sluice
#

What is it?

torn girder
#

torrent storm

tacit epoch
#

Fps drop storm

tight sluice
#

I think his shard is the wave

torn girder
#

its like medium length cd that when you press

#

it just spams his q

#

all around the location you casted

#

the shard is the wave yea its also really sick

#

very good underrated shard imo

tight sluice
#

I want to learn kunkka and pangos

torn girder
#

oh yea pango is another good mid

tacit epoch
#

Now if ppl would realise that bounty is a strong 3 and shouldn't play 4 most of the timr that would be splendid

vital pollen
torn girder
#

farms fast has good impact with ult

tight sluice
#

Isnt marci shard just ass

torn girder
#

no

#

its a repositioning tool

#

repositioning tools are always op in this game

#

i.e magnus ti 10

tight sluice
#

Her shard kicks her allies tho doesnt it

vital pollen
#

yes

torn girder
#

ye lol you can save people

vital pollen
#

basically gives you the ability to save people

#

from a long range away

#

can save your carry from getting blackholed or chronoed

tight sluice
#

Afaik magnus shard was just broken cause it stunned and made using his dash ez

vital pollen
#

or die in another disable

tight sluice
#

Ic

#

I just never see anyone use it

torn girder
#

Kunkka shard is nice for highground attacking and defending

tight sluice
#

I've used it when getting off rosh

vital pollen
#

but super good in highskill ones ๐Ÿ˜„

#

so many games in TI where marci shard saved a teamfight

tight sluice
#

Its wild when you think about marci how op she is

#

Her ult even used to pierce bkb with the slow
