Dota 2 Megathread - in my 6-7 era

[snow ruin]

but the other thing is

he was getting close to killing dawn

and it would have been fine then

theres nothing else you can do

[solid oxide]

no like everything else is alright

[snow ruin]

no its not

you will lose that game lmao

why is it alright to lose slowly

[solid oxide]

i just dont agree with having to go balls out in that first death moment

lets save each other from any further frustration

if i am wrong then i will eventually learn

no need to be distraught

[snow ruin]

you cant eventually learn that because its a mentality

you will just do bad practice

its okay to die

dont be afraid of dying

you need to limit test more

[solid oxide]

isnt that more applicable to roles 3-5

than it is for 1-2

for roles 1-2 i found it better to know your limits

dying as pos1 wastes precious time spent farming and dying as pos2 is

well its only bad if you helped your team a bunch in sidelanes/dominated the mid lane

since youd probably lose a killstreak by dying, giving gold

nonetheless like i said

if i am wrong i will eventually find out myself

not that i dont trust you

[snow ruin]

i mean when moving between mmr brackets

[solid oxide]

although i guess its different these days

i havent played ranked in a good while

i guess im out of touch

okay well its not different

notihng changed

maybe when i get back into it itll get clear once more

[rigid dawn]

I don't get dota's mvp system

[polar marten]

has to do with how dota calculates “fantasy points”

[solid oxide]

puppey to attend ti as 9pandas's coach

[rigid dawn]

witch doctor is fun

[snow ruin]

which one?

[rigid dawn]

which doctor am i

man his original ult just made him snowball to insanity

free kills every minute is so fun

also i need to sleep

gorgc has reached 10k mmr

[snow ruin]

source?

[solid oxide]

oh

my bad

i forgot to cancel the alert on that one

i didnt want to watch teaguvnor do the most boring looking jigsaw puzzle of all time

looks like its probably tomorrow lol

[rigid dawn]

Dota 2 patch coming?

game coordinator has been fucked for 20 mins now

[solid oxide]

no

[rigid dawn]

Hmm then I guess its regional?

The issues is on TF2 too

[rigid dawn]

If you said so by checking steamstat.us, yes that site is shoing its fine while it actually is not

A steam friend of mine is having the same issue

[solid oxide]

i mean

no patch

[rigid dawn]

yeah

[snow ruin]

https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3735229909364378684

[solid oxide]

yay

[sweet falcon]

Yaay

Yaaay

Yaaaay

Yaaaaay

Yaaaaaay

Yaaaaay

Yaaaay

Yaaay

Yaay

[solid oxide]

its literally nothing

lol

we got literally nothing

not even an update push

too busy with cs2

:(

[snow ruin]

https://www.dota2.com/international2023?1

[solid oxide]

needs per-hero stats widget

this is relaly cool

rate my mini background

dude loading screen cost is gonna skyrocket

by about 6 cents

[snow ruin]

WTF

[solid oxide]

make sure to claim weekyl rewards

[snow ruin]

its a bug

it checks the profile before guild

[solid oxide]

ah

either way

to be fair

if not for the profile update

this update wouldve been dogshit

lol

like the profile update eclipses the compendium for me because the compendium is such a nothingburger

u get literally nothing for the compendium which is really funny

[snow ruin]

at least the aegis is only $170 this year

[solid oxide]

god its so funny how shit this compendium is tho

like i knew it was gonna be bad but not this bad

i mean im not mad cuz we got the profile update and thats the best thing ever no lie

but its so funny how like

the only things that made it to the compendium are the ones nobody gave a shit about

like oh! challenges! oh! bingo!

like these are worthless when theres nothing to earn lol

this might be what sunsfan warned us about

god its so fucking unbelievably shit now im slowly getting upset

like come on

not even a music pack? not even an immortal treasurr

its actually joever theyve officially ran out of features they already had in the backburner

insane thing is that they wont even release anything later like this is it

when they didnt have their content finished in time they would just slap a COMING SOON sticker on whatever but they just have nothing else planned

genuinely joever.

this is it. the bitter, bitter end

[snow ruin]

@solid oxide what do you think about this blog post now https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/6252732681186068104

the profile update is probably left over from the anniversary

what is the treasure gonna contain

there are no 2023 immortals

[solid oxide]

recolored old immortals for sure

[solid oxide]

terrible 😭

[solid oxide]

https://dota2.prizetrac.kr/international2023

its so over

[surreal plinth]

dead game

[polar marten]

@rigid dawn have fun in doter

[rigid dawn]

lul

probably will have throwers as teammates and go back to 300 mmr

[polar marten]

im still anxious about losing my mmr

so i dont play dota

thats it!

[rigid dawn]

lmao

i don't really care much

it was funny how my first calibration went to good

[polar marten]

what did you calibrate for

what was the result

iirc since 7.33 the bare minimum has been lifted to guardian/crusader

[rigid dawn]

who winning?

[rigid dawn]

800 mmr

herald 5

then i accidentally hit recalibrate

[polar marten]

good hero youve picked.

[rigid dawn]

and got reclibrated into 500 mmr

[rigid dawn]

I can always cut lanes if my teammates are throwing

they cant push withour creeps :>

[polar marten]

right mindset

youre mind_control of southeast asia

[rigid dawn]

my brother taught me

if my teammates bad you become carry

[polar marten]

god bless

@rigid dawn have you played the training day thing?

in cs2

[rigid dawn]

noope

[polar marten]

its mid

good

ok i get constant freezes kill vulkan

[rigid dawn]

hmm

[solid oxide]

oh my GOD valve apologists have infiltrated /r/dota2

hot take: the compendium is actually the best thing because we got a lot of free shit prior to this STFU

hot take: kill yourself

the ti10 compendium that was free had more shit and incentive to use it

even if the ti12 compendium was free i wouldn't give a fuck about grinding since u get literally nothing

[polar marten]

https://tenor.com/view/invisible-ink-pig-head-memoji-gif-25029183

[snow ruin]

@solid oxide

[solid oxide]

do not rub it in my face :(

i was full of hope

[snow ruin]

the only thing thats good about the compendium is its the cheapest the aegis replica has been

[solid oxide]

its so insane

it has actually fucking NOTHING

[snow ruin]

it has hud

[solid oxide]

thats cool but

it doesnt even have a music pack

[snow ruin]

it has $100 aegis

[solid oxide]

i might have been legit compelled to get it if it had a music pack but they cheaped out even on that

[snow ruin]

i bet that aegis is like

$20 to make

[solid oxide]

im so upset man like

u have no idea

[snow ruin]

maybe even $15

[solid oxide]

im so let down

i expected very littleb

but i didnt expect NOTHING

[snow ruin]

i expected nothing and was still disappointed

[solid oxide]

i thought they were downscaling not fucking

[snow ruin]

oh yeah and theres 1 item fx this year

[solid oxide]

doing NOTHING

im so upset

legit so upset

[snow ruin]

i told u

[solid oxide]

so so so upset

[snow ruin]

from the start

its tf2 all over again

[solid oxide]

i didnt think itd be THIS bad

[snow ruin]

its joever

[solid oxide]

i listened to you

i didnt expect it to be this bad

its actually fuckingjoever

[snow ruin]

bro its one guy working on it

what do you expect him to do

[solid oxide]

commission a music pack on behalf of valve

[snow ruin]

too busy making cs2 music pack

[solid oxide]

they couldve made mike morasky hack together some artifact music pack idc

im so defeated man its unbelievable

[snow ruin]

he was busy on cs2 music pack

[solid oxide]

what am i gonna fuckin play now

[snow ruin]

https://youtu.be/nSE38xjMLqE?t=17

dota is still crack cocaine

[snow ruin]

music pack died for this

[solid oxide]

YOU ONOW WHSTS EVEN MORENUPSETTING

youd think oh theyre shifting away focus from dota to focus on other projects ok fair i suppose thats the way things are

but then it turns out

theyre fucking killing dota for nothing

look at how cs2 released

so upsetting

so bitter

one of a kind game and theyre killing it for god knows what

finally it dawns upon me how fucked up it is that valve can just casually throw away and forget about their multiplayer franchises that people invest years into

what a fucking joke man uugh

[solid oxide]

im grieving so much

in like 25 years gabe will pull up on like e3 2060

[snow ruin]

half life barney

citadel

[solid oxide]

iv drip and in a wheelchair

looking like hector salamanca

[snow ruin]

theyre gonna be goty

gabe will be glados

[solid oxide]

hes gonna be like whats up fuckers remember that game we abandoned in 2023

and kaci will jump out like heeeey i used to be a broadcaster there NO

i wont accept it

if they make a fucking dota 3 i wont accept it

this is a betrayal that hurts more than any real blade

im so mad

the most unique multiplayer experience and they can just throw it away like that

we need to take steam away from valve

these fuckers are getting ridiculous

[snow ruin]

first time?

[solid oxide]

i didnt care for tf2 much

that was easy to move on from

BUT THIS

[snow ruin]

half life

l4d

[solid oxide]

not a multiplayer game

[snow ruin]

ricochet

day of defeat

[solid oxide]

l4d was finished, wasnt designed as live service

i didnt play dod

[snow ruin]

l4d was designed to have new movies come out

yeah im saying

if you didn't see this coming

idk theres a lot of history

[solid oxide]

im just saying

i didnt expect it like that! damn

especially for dota

arguably made valve way more money than tf2 for example

[snow ruin]

dota makes very little money

[solid oxide]

with the way things are going yea its gonna make nothing

[snow ruin]

outside of initial spikes

of like battle pass

its like once a year

[solid oxide]

its like they dont want to make anything

okay

[snow ruin]

maybe a treasure drop they get some

[solid oxide]

in terms

of money

[snow ruin]

but cs is constant money

[solid oxide]

its like they dont want to make money

[snow ruin]

like constant cash flow

without any content

[solid oxide]

i mean i wouldnt be so mad if they actually worked on cs

but this shit isnt even finished like wtf

[snow ruin]

and

its the most profitable game on steam

year round

[solid oxide]

its the best spectator sport too

easy to get into easy to watch

i already knew all of this

[snow ruin]

dota and tf2

they only make money on content drops

thats too little for too much effort for valve

they always are rent seeking

[solid oxide]

we need to take away steam from valve this has gone too far

[snow ruin]

because that enables them to make new experiences

[solid oxide]

too far i say

[snow ruin]

look at any talk by gabe and pay attention whenever he talks about economics

[solid oxide]

i am simply grieving

[snow ruin]

thats good im sorry for your loss

[solid oxide]

its not the fact that we will not get any more content

[snow ruin]

time to go to valve hq as brewmaster?

for protest

[solid oxide]

its that people will eventually drop the game when they realize its been abandoned

and there will be little people left to play it

[snow ruin]

hardcore fans will stick with it

[solid oxide]

i dont want to play with hardcore fans

[snow ruin]

but idk

i think this is the last international

maybe second to last

[solid oxide]

im going to leave with regrets of not being competitive enough and not introducing enough friends to the game

[surreal plinth]

just wait for dota 3

[snow ruin]

look at the tournament organizers

[solid oxide]

its a shame!

its the last

[snow ruin]

everyone dropping like flies

[solid oxide]

absolutely the last

[snow ruin]

all the casting leaving

[solid oxide]

its so over man

[snow ruin]

in the past year

[solid oxide]

im literaly not gonna play anything else

not that i did

[snow ruin]

it was a good experiment into f2p competitive games

which made cs2 more successful

[solid oxide]

these are truly terrible days for me to live in

[snow ruin]

you can play fortnite

[solid oxide]

i dont have a taste for battle royales, sorry

apex is the only battle royale that interested me and even then i forgot about it eventually

its joever

its the bitter end

we hon now

[surreal plinth]

rayne you should learn game development and make spiritual successor to dota 2

offense of the moderns

[solid oxide]

but it wont be the same

i just want dota not a different moba

this was fine

:(

i mean its not going anywhere

but the players will eventually

worst part is my league friends will gloat about it

this shit sucks man

only videogames i got left to look forward to are new yakuzas

fuck man

i wouldnt be so upset if they actually finished cs2 but they didnt even like add anything on release

[surreal plinth]

mcoms unreal enginge tutorial stream: dota 3

[solid oxide]

they killed it for nothing 😭

[solid oxide]

im so upset mann

not even a music pack

NOT EVEN AN IMMORTAL TREASURE

literally all i care about are the immortals and music packs

and we dont even get those

dota is going to die before chen gets an immortal

[polar marten]

who killed what

[solid oxide]

valve killing dota...slowly ..

[polar marten]

only if they asssassinate icefrog

[solid oxide]

but like man its so sad

this is the only competitive multiplayer game ive ever been interested in like

getting better

like the complexity interested me for once, it didnt scare me

it sucks because the amount of people you can share the passion of the game will shrink

nobody cares about a persons passion for a game that has ended its support

cs players will enjoy the luxury of being able to do the same shit theyve been able to since 1999

and having people still care about it

do you think any of the people still playing tf2 still have passion

they all look miserable i dont see a single passionate person among them

theyre all cynical, toxic losers wasting their lives on a game that has fallen out of relevancy for years now

i dont want to be like that

thats what i dislike the most

no passion, just brainless playing like a zombie because idk

this is genuinely the only videogame i ever gave a shit about in improving and its going to lose its relevancy for good soon

losing that is gonna suck

there will never ever be a game like dota again and thats what hurts

doomposting over time to move on

[polar marten]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1001034270107770934/1149392172811042867/IMG_0262.gif

[solid oxide]

yea dota is dying, valve hates us, the tournament organizers are leaving, the devs arent contacting us, we might be alone, it might be just you and me, but thats okay, because do you really need anyone else

and then it transitions into this epic video

[surreal plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/what-am-i-looking-at-cat-confused-gif-25251297

[solid oxide]

ok on the bright side

every game dies, not every game truly lives

[polar marten]

🫣

[solid oxide]

nice

shouldve made it a tiny gyrocopter but this is fine too

[solid oxide]

wait a fucking minute theyre just going to release all the battle pass shit after ti

so they can pocket all the cash

[polar marten]

signs of that were on ti11

just a reminder

[solid oxide]

where

[polar marten]

two part battlepass

once again

[snow ruin]

yes

problem?

[solid oxide]

big.

[solid oxide]

ohh fuck ur right

i totally forgot they even pulled that lmao

god like fuck man this is stupid

not even a music pack man come onn

i literally wouldve bought it just for the music pack but they didnt even do that

the end is nigh.

[solid oxide]

u may vote for short films now

[rigid dawn]

oh cool

time to watch them all

[snow ruin]

bounty is the best one

[polar marten]

no, this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-a8UuZI024

because it references a niche funny.

[rigid dawn]

This one guy single handedly carrying the prize pool

[solid oxide]

that's the saudi prince

he used to get like 600k battle pass levels every year but this year he got just like 500

because the compendium literally gives u nothing

wait no that's not him

yea this is the saudi prince

from level 100k to level 306

anyways, there is no more passion in the passion project

theres even 0 news about true sight lol

though idc about this years true sight, most boring finals ever

interesting: euling a bkb target makes it stuck unless they phase boots/reposition

[polar marten]

why are you lying to yourself

[solid oxide]

:monocle:

wow why is it so verbose

why would i write face with monocle

🧐

when i want a smiley with sunglasses i dont write face with sunglasses i write sunglasses

[rigid dawn]

@solid oxide hopefully my love for valve and my trust in then that has been demonstrated in our arguments have not effected our relationship

Or better written I hope they don't effect our relationship

[solid oxide]

i am not that petty. nothing changed

[rigid dawn]

<3

[solid oxide]

the ti12 hud will be tradeable in jan 2025

[solid oxide]

so wait

are u like not allowed to play on multiple accounts at all?

is it like hard one dota account per person

Smurf accounts are alternate accounts used by players to avoid playing at the correct MMR, to abandon games, to cheat, to grief, or to otherwise be toxic without consequence.

this is what valve says

is it like hard no to alt accounts or

am i allowed to have an alt as long as i suck or play on my level

the rules arent very clear

i have an alt i use to play with irls and i wouldnt really want my main banned along my alt

for playing on ranked with two accs

Going forward, a main account found associated with a smurf account could result in a wide range of punishments, from temporary adjustments to behavior scores to permanent account bans.

how do they determine how severely to punish someone

i dont like how unclear this is

neither account is old btw the alt has 628 hours on dota

maybe i shouldnt rly be concerned since dota is not gonna be updated much soon anyways lol

[snow ruin]

you cant have alt accounts

ever

never ever ever

[solid oxide]

the game even asks you this

when you start it for the first time

[solid oxide]

okay

even if i dont ever play ranked?

[snow ruin]

yep

[solid oxide]

okay

[snow ruin]

i got banned and never touched ranked

[solid oxide]

how do i get away wtih having an alt in dota

[snow ruin]

you cant

[solid oxide]

yeah but like

[snow ruin]

unless youre a pro player

or content creator

[solid oxide]

isnt your alt like fairly recently made though

[snow ruin]

no

my alt is from 2015

[solid oxide]

wtf

why didnt mine get banned then

[snow ruin]

did you play on it recently

[solid oxide]

yes

[snow ruin]

i think it was past 8 or 9 months

weird

[solid oxide]

do u think theyll bother doing another ban wave

[snow ruin]

probably yeah and itll be even more bullshit

because itll be AI

[solid oxide]

so lame

[sweet ferry]

@solid oxide has leveled up! (47 ➜ 48)

[solid oxide]

i dont want to show my account to my irls lmao

[snow ruin]

this time i believe they used a spreadsheet

[solid oxide]

like u cant even cheat the system

it cant be foolproof like that

probably just really inconvenient if youre trying to avoid getting banned

right

how do they even determine like

its not two different people playing

if im, say, not even playing with the same people

[snow ruin]

they dont

[solid oxide]

and we have different friends

so is it literally one dota account per device?

[snow ruin]

they literally banned people who are different people

they banned internet cafes

they banned couples

[solid oxide]

and did nothing about it

?

[snow ruin]

nope

[solid oxide]

so lame

[snow ruin]

nothing

gotta launch cs2

[solid oxide]

theres got to be some way to cheat the system though

its valve this shits bound to have some hole in it

[snow ruin]

on like https://www.dota2.com/adminpage

[solid oxide]

didnt it have guardian rank though

[snow ruin]

no

[solid oxide]

im 100% sure it had guardian

[snow ruin]

ranks are estimated through unranked

on dotabuff

[solid oxide]

i know theres an unranked mmr

but still

[snow ruin]

my main has an archon rank

it never played ranked

[solid oxide]

i suppose ill have to ask around

ill probably keep risking it and keep playing

[snow ruin]

thats all it played

but it has guardian rank

[polar marten]

pro

[solid oxide]

these are like the only games i palyed on this account lol

over the last 4 years

almost all turbo

[snow ruin]

you can probably reverse engineer smurf detection if you look through the source code for the admin page

https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/blob/master/www.dota2.com/public/javascript/dota_react/AdminPages.js

[solid oxide]

oh huh

i imagine someone mustve been desperate enough to have done that already honestly

[snow ruin]

nope

okay i found it

[solid oxide]

why

because they wouldve done something about it by now?

i dont think so

[snow ruin]

Here are the Smurf crtieria:

• Dota+
• Total games
• Win Rate
• Win Rate (recent)
• Overperformance history

[solid oxide]

i imagine if you were to like, stream dota from a remote computer like geforce now or something you would probably get banned too

[snow ruin]

because i would have heard about it

[solid oxide]

okay but if i literally just play the exact same as in my main itd make it less likely for me to be caught

like

theres always gonna be a risk

from what i understand

but theres accounts theyre confident in banning and not completely confident in banning

(their confidence doesnt seem very reliable)

either way i havent heard about anyone's main getting banned for smurfing

[snow ruin]

not yet

[solid oxide]

so maybe i should just fuck around

[snow ruin]

they only said initial ban wave

[solid oxide]

i imagine theyll start with behaviour score like they said

[snow ruin]

but there were some egregious smurfs

[solid oxide]

and banning the smurf

[snow ruin]

that did get main banned

they have banned smurfs already

[solid oxide]

i imagine its smurfs that do shit like

[snow ruin]

in that wave

[solid oxide]

climb, once they reach a rank they deliberately drop down

repeat

[snow ruin]

no like

not even that

like

have 100 smurfs

[solid oxide]

oh

[snow ruin]

okay so overperformance history seems to be how many games out of most recent 32 did you get MVP

here are the thresholds:

Recent win rate:

recent win rate of 70%+ or 30%- : danger
recent win rate of 60%+ or 40%- : warning
otherwise: none

Overperformance:

20/32 MVPs : danger
10/32 MVPs : warning
5/32 MVPs : info
otherwise : none

Win rate:

same as recent win rate

Dota+:

Dota+ subscriber : good
not subscriber : none

Total games played:

no known thresholds

btw this is just manual like spreadsheets they have

so they probably went through and figured out patterns based on this

so yeah, basically as long as youre within matchmaking ideals of 50% +- 9.999%, youre good it seems

and if you subscribe to dota+, it shows commitment of some sort

and if you dont get a high rate of MVPs (5 or less), then youre good

so yeah i think it doesnt punish people who perform the same on both accounts

[rigid dawn]

where do you get all this info from 🤔

[snow ruin]

i linked my sources

[rigid dawn]

oh that

legit

[snow ruin]

xD ?

[solid oxide]

wym good

like having dota+ makes it less liekly to be banned?

[solid oxide]

ah

okay

so i literally just dont have to worry about anything as long as like

i dont try to pretend im not an alt

like they definitely dont encourage having an alt for dota but it becomes a bigger problem when the two accounts dont match up

[snow ruin]

yea

[solid oxide]

i see

thanks for clarifying it for me

i should be fine and even if they detect me ill probably get a behaviour score reduction

[solid oxide]

fbz out of secret

[polar marten]

puppey, chen

[solid oxide]

bsj did not get invited to ti as talent

[polar marten]

good

[solid oxide]

no bad

[polar marten]

yeah, good - no bad

[solid oxide]

this is the funniest shit ive seen in a long time wtf is thiss

pic goes hard as fuck

[solid oxide]

ohh its a meme

[polar marten]

Tktktktk... Sing your praises.

[kind pagoda]

Its ai

[solid oxide]

yea i can tell

pic goes hard as fuck though

[solid oxide]

ti (road to ti, ill still call it ti) starts in 7 days

[rigid dawn]

I like how the heroes in are like either the fundamental forces of nature in living form, immensely powerful and smart magical beings, literal gods

and then there is shadow shaman who is just an average con-man and a performer

[surreal plinth]

lore ranges from "is the physical embodiment of a natural force" or "was pretty good at bar fights"

[rigid dawn]

arcane blink at 30 in is so fun

you basically get 28 hp regen and 14 mana regen

you can practically push two lanes at once with shamans shard and arcane blink

[polar marten]

heres my new favorite

[solid oxide]

hahahhahha

[solid oxide]

played dota for the first time in a few days

game is fun 😊

[rigid dawn]

Shadow Shaman got banned

So erm

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/886245867672195113/1160214629570592808/image.png?ex=6533d913&is=65216413&hm=50dc846d2a59f0988fbaff28b313cc88c4a1b921a6c6795c5a1d3831b8700648&=&width=103&height=350

only if the death ward could target buildings this game wouldn't have gone 68 minutes

i should look into right click wd builds so i can push lanes when my teammates don't

[surreal plinth]

what shadow shaman arcana is that

[rigid dawn]

[polar marten]

[solid oxide]

well yes i skill q w in lane

[rigid dawn]

no after you look at my match history you will understand why i am rejoicing at 4 win streak

[solid oxide]

:)

[solid oxide]

never understood what htis means

[polar marten]

i think it's just a generic error for when vac fails to start/connect

[rigid dawn]

vac and the game are having a tantrum with each other

[solid oxide]

the game did start up faster

than usual

so i ugess it probably skipped some vac check

and was like 🤨

[solid oxide]

thunder awaken are the first team to be eliminated from ti12 on group b

elimination game between psg quest and talon on group d

unless they 1-1 actually

then 3 way tie between quest, talon and keyd

keyd is a "win game 1" team so they might win the tiebreakers

[glass thorn]

*keyd is a "win game

1" team so they might

win the tiebreakers*

- rayningforests

[solid oxide]

psg quest have been eliminated from group d

[solid oxide]

points for nothing

oh wait those are shards lmao

[solid oxide]

erm

[solid oxide]

honestly ill be very surprised if they announce a hero this ti

the masses arent fully confident in live service slowing down for dota

no hero announcement at ti should increase concern

anyways, team smg, thunder awaken, beastcoast and psg quest have been eliminated from ti groups

[solid oxide]

and if they do itll definitely be in an unknown date

like they wont even specify the season

because god knows when the next number patch is

that or uh maybe its just something they already have ready

tbh

[surreal plinth]

alr

uninstall on 10k mmr

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solid oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJJsaJHvxgU holy shit

this game dude

[polar marten]

there’s more stuff like this

although i can’t tell you what exactly off the top of my head

cm frostbite maybe

[solid oxide]

it makes sense, though

but i never thought about that

thats crazy

[polar marten]

kinda does

[rigid dawn]

oracle mid is really goooood

should have tried pos 2 oracle over pos 5

turning into a really good nuker and healer is soo good

[solid oxide]

nullifier:

[surreal plinth]

did you know: every hero has a way to nullify anything! its hotkey is alt+f4

[dusk oyster]

doesnt work on linux

[polar marten]

can you be more specific

[dusk oyster]

no

[polar marten]

this overgeneralisation of “linux” is very bold of you

i think you deserve punishment

[dusk oyster]

[surreal plinth]

it works on my copy of linux

[polar marten]

i mean yeah you can’t just press alt f4 in a tty for some kind of result but neither can you play dota in one.

as far as i know

[rigid dawn]

herald:

[polar marten]

then abuse it to the point you meet nullifier

you’ll adapt to whatever circumstances you meet along the way

and get better at the game, eventually

idk i never bothered to play the videogame

[rigid dawn]

adapting to a 5k wins herald 3 sniper :

[polar marten]

so what

[rigid dawn]

he carried what else

[polar marten]

i meet people with 10k matches every other game

that’s how this stupid game goes

[rigid dawn]

yeah but i doubt a 5k win person belongs to herald 3

this is the 400 mmr range

[polar marten]

maybe he does actually

[rigid dawn]

lack of team coordination will just cause him to snowball to another dimension

its fun to watch

[polar marten]

forget that you’re playing a team game

cs is more of a team game than dota is

no cap no cap fr fr ong

[rigid dawn]

its more easy to adapt your role to bad teammates in cs

[polar marten]

idk man just have fun

[rigid dawn]

play around/with them

[rigid dawn]

having plenty dw :>

[polar marten]

that’s wonderful

[rigid dawn]

complaining is always fun too

[polar marten]

so am i in the recent two days in cs

[rigid dawn]

i play dota since i don't have to be consistent

i suck at consistency in gaming

[polar marten]

god i love having to endure a passively toxic friend

[rigid dawn]

;-;

[polar marten]

consistency is the medium of your highs and lows

consistency is not key

[rigid dawn]

my consistency is dogshit

some times i can consistently use the deagle at long range

[polar marten]

good!

[rigid dawn]

other times i miss the entire mag of a auto shotty

[polar marten]

im consistent in being bad at videogames.

[rigid dawn]

im a silver at heart :>

[solid oxide]

god stil lcant believe theres no music pack 😭

they didnt even fuckin

just reuse artifact's and underlords ost

[solid oxide]

its so fun making little guides for yourself 😊

did you know you can rearm items like heavens halberd and boots of bearing

wait shit i missed the laser skill

on some of these

fixedf

missed lvl 4

this ones been my most successful

i even do little annotations

[polar marten]

its so fun reviewing your own replays even if you notice mistakes midgame

[polar marten]

its like making yt videos for yourself in case you get hit in the head and lose all of your memories

😍

LETS GOOOO

[polar marten]

@solid oxide hello rayne what cool characters should i try in doter two

[solid oxide]

follow your heart

[solid oxide]

i wonder how good lc support can be

i remember seeing it in play by og in ti10

where they kept giving notail lc

i guess one strength of lc support is that u can trade

if u max ur 3rd

press the attack isnt very useful in lane i think

you could spare a point in it to dispel stuns and other debuffs

from your core

q might feel awkward to use

[solid oxide]

this isnt something im confident enough to try in ranked

[solid oxide]

me spending hours upon hours on making guides for myself

)

holy fuck entity knocked out tundra

TAPSEEEEN NOOOO

[solid oxide]

ok i just realied

carry is thew orst role

in dota

u farm lane, ur 5 leaves u

u go to jungle

u farm

u lose

game sucks

im back to playing mid/3 onlyh

[solid oxide]

had the worst 2 dota games of my life

makes me want not to play anymore

why cant people play

like normal epopel

why is my fuckin ursa.

mid ursa

loses mid

theyre taking our t3s

well trying to

and hes making bf

at min 23

this fucking guyyyyyy

[solid oxide]

support tinker is fun as fuck

u just build boots of bearing

and spam it

and spam rockets

u basically give this permanently to ur team

[rigid dawn]

how i feel in herald 2

every other match is somebody role abusing

yk how turbo is supposed to be a toxic gamemode in dota?

I honestly have so much more fun playing there

SINCE PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY ROLES LIKE WOW

idk why ranked is filled with idiots who role queue and don't play roles

[rigid dawn]

and the people there are not filled with whiney idiots

in ranked enemy wins the offlane and carry is like "we are gonna lose im not gonna play"

fucking idiots

[polar marten]

👏 tundra 👏 is 👏 gone 👏

[polar marten]

good game
