^^^
The meta keeps rotating between abba, sk due to being one of the strongest aghs in the patch each.
Abba safelane is busted, sk aghs just gives broken amounts of cc.
Besides that they are pretty strong heroes anyway
And then sprinkle in some lesh, slardar and lifestealer (again aghs)

Bear is a novel by Canadian author Marian Engel, published in 1976. It won the Governor General's Literary Award the same year. It is Engel's fifth novel, and her most famous. The story tells of a lonely archivist sent to work in northern Ontario, where she enters into a sexual relationship with a bear. The Canadian Encyclopedia calls the book ...

I’m rlly sorry :(
People have been asking about it. They've been waiting for it. They've been guessing for months what would be in it. And now... we're finally shipping it. That's right: Crownfall Act II's fishing game is LIVE! For those of you who didn't just die of adrenaline shock, we also shipped a massive new gameplay patch, which you might want to read up o...
5.6 gb update
this is literally 8.0
small comic available
new tokens
tokens that you need are now colored
THER EIS A FUCKING MUSIC PACK??? we are back
OH MY GPD
OH
M YOG
ARTIFACT OST
HOLY FGUCK
WHATTTTTT
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

to get 10 coins
asap
holy fucking shit
dude
could not give a less of a shit about the new patch they actually put artifacts ost in dota
oh my god
new sets for shadow fiend, bane, qop, mars, treant, dp, visage, alch, jakiro, oracle, pl, am persona with two styles
centaur immortal in side quests
new minigames
Strategy time is extended by 15/10/5 seconds for the 1/2/3 weeks immediately after a numbered patch
Mana Bars are always visible for enemies
Spell's Cast Range is now always listed with the new icon, which is located near Mana Costs and Cooldown
Holding Alt displays the vision range of all Watchers in the map
meanwhile cs updates:
[UPDATE] 23 May 2024
Current version of the game: 1.40.0.8 (2000322)
[ GRAPHICS ]
- Added support for AMD Anti-Lag 2.
holy crackers i need to lose internet access for a while
broken meta broken everything nice game
Added the ability to type in a hero name to jump to that hero when viewing patch notes in the client
jesus christ this is so much
game dead play in a month
what does this message mean
basically the counter works by reducing medusa's strength so axe can just insta cull her
undying used to be the way
but now it maybe possible with aa
There is no death rime stack limit
Axe's culling blade insta kills below a certian HP threshold
You reduce medusa strength to reach that threshold
Interesting
IO gives 300 bonus watcher radius and reduces watcher cooldown for all teammates
marci buffs allies couriers now
can u use the term instakill instead
mmm
muerta now a direct necrophos counter. and also a general ghost scepter counter
now both tree brothers can heal buildings
nyx is now a walking gem of true sight
should have been all invisible units, like he becomes a natural support (ez dewarding)
free gem is too good
oracle now can predict power rune spawn location
bruh
this sounds broken
Rename this hero "elusive" assasin already
shaman now has an inbuilt aeon disk
As if his ult wasn't strong enough already I was blind i didn't read this right
Yeah they buffed shadow shaman a decent bit
is this supposed to be good
10x damage is huge
same damage
that shit already melts buildings
wdym?
10 wards - 10 damage instances
1 big ward - 10x damage
yeah im blind i didn't read that right
personally i see a point in a big fight
big ward that requires many hits and keeps dealing damage
wait is it 15 hits to kill a ward
lol
He is now truly a sniper
to put ur gif with your previous message
okey men
bruh the attack range
No the implication that he can now sit in trees and deal 10k damage per second
still i think ww's innate is huge for lower mmr brackets
you don't know what's killing you, you are just dying
ahahahahahahhah
this is cancer
yeah i am betting a 100% contest rate for sniper now
he is either picked or ban every single match
ehh its a nice to have
Can now target allies but not Winter Wyvern herself
HUGE
taunted creep duration
HUGE
No longer ends prematurely if no enemies are around the target
HUGE
winter wyvern
HUGE
Ursa gains 1.5% of his current Health as damage
mmmm.... im so full
This sounds very interesting
fist bomp
can be min maxed to give a huge xp lead over the enemy
this would be crazy with heroes with broken lvl 25 talent
like snapfire and bounty hunter
space cow is now always charging
Tinker has been reworked
Right click zeus was already bonkers, they made it more cancer
This update = Power Creep Pro Max™️
ULTRA INSTINCT GYRO
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Nyx with blademail completely burns through medusa's mana
what did they do to him
☹️
this shit look like league of legends but league players must be seething rn
this will be dota in 2009
oh you beat me to this
omg thats so nice
gyrocoptor innate [chop shop] is pretty cool to toggle between lotus or shivas "instantly"
BUT BE CAREFUL FOR MISCLICKING https://t.co/WbzuYL8JoI

@solid oxide @snow ruin doter?
@polar marten oki 😊
My power is still out.. 😭
pat pat
sry i was passed out sleeping
can play in 10-15
Still out 😭
🐬
one game
i wanted to wind down to sleep but i can spare one hour for you only. take it or leave it.
@snow ruin
ok
The new shaman is just really fun to play
Hope they don't nerf him
Besdies that templar is back in meta and stronger than ever due to the improved refraction
You can carry iron branch as sniper for some really funny interactions, just place the iron branch in fron of you and you turn completely invisible while still being able to shoot
the dust will settle
that facet is trash
the other facet is worser?
but its just the "normal shrapnel facet"
i mean honestly you can't really call it trash it has its moments and uses
elaborate on your statement?
you can still see where sniper is
the muzzleflash is visible
its the same shit as before for any competent player
before it was like, when sniper used shrapnel before shooting
he was already dead
because shrapnel has an initial particle at his location
*because shrapnel has
an initial particle
at his location*
the only thing is you cant see his model so you cant target him but thats irrelevant for any team drafted against sniper
you can still blink on top of him easily
you can see exactly the direction he shoots from because you can see his attack projectile and you can see his muzzleflash at his location
so its useless
the only reason id pick it is that people havent figured out how to use the new sharpnel
which IMO, is better
it just needs to be used differently
its basically a set up for assassinate
and its a way faster pushing ability
like old shrapnel, more area denial because it lasts longer
but no one is standing in shrapnel for full duration
so the new one, its very good burst and follow up w ith assassinate now that you got vision
hmm
in any case i feel like a lot of these facets or even innates were just filler because after all they did need to make an innate and atleast two facets for all 123 heroes which is a shitton of work, i definitely expect some of these to be just reworked entirely after the dust settles with this patch
a lot of facets are just like
good option bad option
some facets are easy mode / normal
some facets are carry / support
some facets are good / bad
lycan statstick real
its kinda really all over the place
well yeah
normally during an initiation this would be much much more difficult to track and gives sniper a few additional seconds of free hit
idk if you look at any pro players its irrelevant
*idk if you
look at any pro players
its irrelevant*
yes coms we all are playing at the highest level of dota
yeah sorry i should have specified
in your average pubs the 10 second sharpnel is much much better since it gives info, clears out waves over time and denies blinks for longer
its definitely insane in low mmr
hence whe scattershot is mostly a nerf to your classic sharpnel
no one is gonna find sniper
new shrapnel clears wave faster
so creeps push faster
get information
and pressure
but yeah area denial like blinks and stuff
you lose that
i see it as a good tradeoff
area denial and information
yes the wave is going to be at most 2 seconds ahead, is that a big deal?
yes
this kind of thing adds up
oh no
every second on the wave is so crucial
is it just me or this conversation is a bit too aggressive
*is it just me or
this conversation is a
bit too aggressive*
no ;-;
alls good
im just yapping
just making sure
well yeah wave clear is not even viable with the scattershot
actually wait
if you use 2 charges it is viable
? are u like
if you use one charge not really, it still has the same timigs before the creeps die and the wave pushes forward
scatter shot has a duration of precisely 1 second
so not stacking really, layering it after one another
then it instantly clears wave
the fact that you can shrapnel a wave before it meets is huge and when it does meet you dont need to do it when the creeps are full hp
idk
2 seconds is faster than you can shoot them so yeah
well it has minor impact on wave clear
it is decent aoe burst during teamfights
okay well here's how you fix it, reduce cooldown of scattershot
yeah reduce charge restore time by half to make it somewhat more spammable else you will either not have them for wave push or teamfights
else its mostly a downgrade over default sharpnel
and yeah there are so many facets that are kinda like downgrades to the heroes ;-;
nyx is too effective at mana burn he is probably going to get nerfed
kunkka's x mark nerf and rum facet makes him a much better pos 4 or even possibly a pos 5
xmark nerf makes it so that with any status resistance you can't combo it with torrent forget your ult
you will have to premeditate it
jakiro's innate makes him a somewhat viable carry since it proc's maelstorm more often
he has the lowest effective base attack time ig (0.85s)
ehh pretty decent patch should call it dota 3
its like dota 7 by now
this plus new frontiers is the dota 3 we have been waiting for
weve had like 5 different dota 3s now
7.00, neutrals, shards, aghs for everyone, new frontiers, innates & facets, reborn, out of beta, etc
have i ever complained
only time i ever complained is because i thought we were going to die
erm...
go ahead
thankfully
me still waiting for their holy grail solution to cheating
the only other times i could say ive complained is when patches are around the corner but thats normal
thats excitement not complaining
nah you have been rather vocal about valve's lackluster patches at times
sadly i didn't get to see coms' first hand reaction to 7.36
she was so overwhelmed from just crownfall
what do yo umean
i havent been exactly disappointed, ive been satisfied with the updates a lot of the time
no ringmaster is a bit sad but it is what it is
not crownfall, way before
Ti12
yeah
the compendium was pretty dog but im over it
yeah you were extermely vocal about it
about not being able to spend money i wouldnt be able to spend anyways yeah
for a decently long time that too
i dont know
i did think it was shit and i was rather disappointed but im over it
its kind of clear they put it together last minute
because they had nothing for it
when you dont really know what valve have planned its easy to think that its over
with hindsight and now that im living in the future its not a big deal really
hmm
that and moreover the compendium concern was fueled because i thought hte game was OVER.
which it almost was at the time
glad theyre not bored with their passion project just yet
honestly i am so much more happier with playing dota since i haven't solo queued for a while
solo queue is just pure brainrot
ive never had a problem with the game, ive always had a terrible mentality going into things
been working on it and its showing
hmm
pat pat
@rigid dawn @polar marten @solid oxide @zenith kite we're doing it

Tell me when the chuds want to play
its older than that https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/en-ca/blogs/medieval-world-blog/the-lake-chud-battle-in-1242

available
@snow ruin Do u wanna join..
@zenith kite in a moment
Lets go?
@zenith kite @solid oxide im rdy
will be sleeping earlier today
letting u guys know ahead of time
latest im willing to stay up for is like 3 today
which is roughly
13 hours
The missile is very tired. He is eepy. The missile has had a very long day of splashing bandits and wants to take just a smol sleeb. He eeby and neebies to sleeby. Mibsile sleepy and need bed-bye time. The missile is currently experiencing critical levels of being a sleevjy little guy and needs to go to bedb. He is ver tired and needs to slep. Just a little sleejing time as a treat. Midsilylele needs to slek, ver twired boyo, just a lil guy. Mibsipillibille needs his beaty sleeb. Look at him go! He yawn big cause he skeejy, needs to falafel asleep. Nini timel! Goodnight, mister the missile
@solid oxide @zenith kite @rigid dawn hello
when we get 3
Raynes in a game @solid oxide FUCK YOU
only if you believe pain is a great teacher
^
@zenith kite aram wtf is so good when u dont have a chud in ur ear telling u its nasty
sry for the sudden leave yesterday
It’s ok
dawn support pretty good
Your spells have low cooldown
You don't have mana issues at all
You can tank pretty well
You can nuke decently
You have really good team heal
Your ult is a global relocate
Top Tier pos 4
its So funny how she is not in meta
She works so well in solo Q pubs
Your Ult is like 350HP/s for 6 entire seconds (aghs and locket ofc)
2100 HP * 4 at any teamfight
dota would be arguably more accessible
it has a better tutorial
entirely different playstyles mainly. Like at the crust the games are somehwat similar
the deeper you got the branching the games are
with some random similarities here and there
neither of these games are worth playing 🙂
basically there is no point in playing league first and then coming to dota
having someone to help you with the learning phase of the game is really good
@slate anchor the game is very accessible if you are willing to put in the time to learn it
the only reason its "hard" to get into is because the game tests your knowledge more than it tests your actual skills
quick reflexes and nimble fingers can only take you so far in the game
it can be fun to play in any way with the right mindset but the core of the game is about checking your knowledge and making the correct decisions based on the information you ahve
i have limited lol experience but lol is like
you dont need to know anything to play lol competently
Lol is easier in a sense. It also rewards solo skill way more than teamplay.
Dota heavily rewards teamplay more than solo skill
the game does focus a lot more on quick reflexes and nimble fingers than things like strategy and decision making
i dont hate cs
its just boring for me
nothing wrong with liking cs
I enjoy both games
I enjoy the vast amount of knowledge you can gain in dota. You always learn something new
I enjoy the pure skill attribute in cs. Always fun to outperform your past self and get better
@slate anchor has leveled up! (11 ➜ 12)
valorant is dog by the way
dont misunderstand me
cs is just not a game for me
i can accept that
im terrible at shooters where you slowly peek around corners and react the fastest while also remembering to keep recoil patterns in mind
and im the worst player ever at clicking heads
i like tf2
i played 4000 hours of tf2
and i had my fill
Ranking purely depends on your mindset if you play Solo. You skill and knowledge can only get you so far. You need a good mindset to go ahead in dota ranked.
its still a good game
also
if its any comfort
ive played 4000 hours in dota and ive only managed to get good enough to be at like
the 4/8 rank
which is still dogshit
so dont worry
I know people who are really good at the game and have been playing the game for a decade now and barely at 75 percentile of rank
dota is a very very deep game
i have a very encyclopedic knowledge of the game but my biggest flaw is that i have a lot of trouble absorbing information that changes quickly
dota's team dependency is on another level. alot of relations in dota are heavily symbiotic
@rigid dawn has leveled up! (34 ➜ 35)
Getting your carrry out of bad situations
Sacrificing yourself so your team can have a better fight
youd be only considered good enough when you reach 8/8
The game has positions literally defined by how greedy you can play the game
dont let that intimidate you though
the game isnt all about ranks and etc
a big part of the game is the satisfaction of learning from your mistakes and capitalizing on the mistakes of your enemy
theres room for casual play too
playing since 2016, started regularly playing at around 2019
well
;-;
actions that you take on the map
can influence not on your enemies but allies
can be positively or negatively
for example if you farm on safer parts of the map while being a hero that is either very strong or able to get out of situations you are depriving your own team from farming on parts of the map the enemy cant easily reach
so instead you can either farm in locations that would be dangerous for your other teammates
basically what i meant is in certain matchups during teamfights, the team is heavily dependent on certain team members playing out their roles
locations that are either on the enemy side of the map or locations that would reveal your location to the enemy
initiation, counter initiation, killing the enemy back line, protecting your own back line, saving your carries when the inevitably get disabled
these are extremely crucial roles to be played out during the teamfight
*these are extremely
crucial roles to be played out
during the teamfight*
and often each role is held by a singular person
if they don't do their role the entire fight will just simply fall apart
the game is extremely team centric
absolutely no hero can really play solo against competent enemies
@rigid dawn @zenith kite @solid oxide play
..............................................

@solid oxide @zenith kite
mhm same actually
sure
1 min
yes
aw okay
im not feeling great
anyone want to do anything
a pudge kept suicide diving into my clone just to attempt to kill it while pushing waves
he drops to 50% hp due to clone damage and the necrophos just tp's in with boots of travel, ults
funniest shit i have ever seen
honestly really missed opportunity not to bring back underlords tracks for the caravan music pack too
this couldve easily been a laning track
couldve been a battle or rosh track
the music pack is missing a rosh track so this couldve also just been a rosh track
u cant really argue that underlords and artifact have two different styles of music because artifact literally has a track that has like the weird background shit from underlords
like this track
uses the same shit from underlords
@solid oxide @zenith kite maybe we can play dota with great friends
ohh sorry
np
think we are ready probably
@snow ruin status?
belle is gone but i can play & maybe invite someone
hm
if we play with the person i can invite we will play crumbling arena for a short bit first
if thats ok with u
so whats the plan @solid oxide
friend not coming
i can go

? just dota
whats going on... on...
