7.34 revenants brooch was fun
i mean as od
direct upgrade to witch blade that had mystic staff component
you suddenly start doing double damage to high armour opponents when you casted it
and you pierce any supports who build ebalde to avoid getting burst right click by you
7.35 wasn't bad either spell lifesteal was great
and od had infinite mana pool
7.38 revenants brooch made it into a more genric armour counter item. Honestly ethereal pierce was what made it so great

@solid oxide pc config and dota fps?
solid oxide
no config
game runs fine
i have everything on max except shadows are just high
and no high quality water cuz i dont like how it looks
solid oxide
oh i run low end atm
heady gust
because what im tryna figure out is if my pc was shitty at running dota
or the game itself is getting harder to run
i've heard it's so cpu heavy because they don't run game logic in the conventional way, in the sense that everything it just lua scripts or something
snow ruin
the base game is mostly c++
snow ruin
its only for the professional scene
it sucks for everyone else
it basically makes immortal draft into pro-lite
rigid dawn
hmm
snow ruin
now, high skill players have to stream for anyone to view their gameplay
glass thornBOT
snow ruin
so we can't really learn from any high skill players
which was one of the major selling points of dota 2
vs. league
but now they get to hide strats i guess
rigid dawn
this is sad
seems like I found a really decent tinker strat
Meteor hammer on tinker

also yellow item that makes you big is really good

solid oxide
also now no one gets to learn from the pros
[H] 5 yatoro replays [W] pudge arcana
i think a good compromise would be to make it toggleable
snow ruin
how
solid oxide
ok not a compromise but
snow ruin
toggleable how
solid oxide
moreover i want to see how many people would willingly activate it
the pro player could expose their match data
or atlernatively i guess
snow ruin
but that exposed everyones match data
solid oxide
dota could just anonymize every player
snow ruin
still would disclose strats
solid oxide
hm
snow ruin
how would they anonymize replays
solid oxide
not so easy then
hide names and chat logs
also wait
doesnt this mean the watch tab is dead now lol
solid oxide
i have mixed feelings on this change
it sucks for me cuz i rely on d2pt
but we'll see
snow ruin
its really weird bc
is ranked matchmaking really supposed to like
private scrims
the whole immortal draft i think was a mistake
i think instead they should make 8.5k the max mmr in ranked
and if youre 8.5k mmr you unlock immortal draft
which can rank past that
solid oxide
and then its like cs rating
dusk oyster
how would they anonymize replays
solid oxide
what was the function of launch immortal draft to begin with tho
snow ruin
idk i think immortals were complaining about something
like the games werent fair
because it was like
at that level
the matchmaker cannot like
balance for self drafting
since minor differences matter, hero advantages become really important
and people were griefing drafts basically
and itd be an auto lose
solid oxide
what if they added league forfeit in immortal draft
cuz i feel like
like
isnt people just giving up and not playing a thing up there
though whatever thats like
saving 6 mins
for them
i think valve is being valve and are experimenting again
theyll probably see the ramifications of this and maybe revert it in like two weeks
snow ruin
idk i think like
if valve wants to make faceit/private
then do that
ranked is something else
ranked is meant to be pubs
solid oxide
true
solid oxide
polar marten
good thing they upped the mmr needed for immortal draft
bad thing rurugate happened again
wonder if that impacted valves decision on ranked anything
solid oxide
the noob
snow ruin
good thing they upped the mmr needed for immortal draft
wasnt it like 5500 or something at launch
polar marten
wasnt it like 5500 or something at launch

Dude can you pick a real hero HOLY crap why are we picking pango in 2025? Arent you tryign to play pro or soetmhing? How about we play heroes that arent the objective best heroes in the game? You're genuinely a horrible horrible player. You just draw aggro off cooldown. I lost all respect for you. Imagine trying to play pro and picking pango every game in pubs. Truly disgusting. Your'e just a coward tbh. You dont know whats good against lesh so you pick pango cause its easy. Every game you pick that hero you get worse. And you're already horrible.
- Won 4 games mid against similar bracket
I feel great rn
But yeah again those who always go 5 man into games generally have inflated mmr.

what is a brain dead hero that i can play to learn dota
polar marten
choose one that u like by the looks
solid oxide
https://youtu.be/3qEIQCffp0I hate to link the 25 min powerpoint presentation but i think thisll help you determine what you want to be doing in the game
thisll help narrow down the heroes you can play
dont worry, this is arguably the best new player resource
id watch this in your offtime like when youre eating
solid oxide
do i have you on steam friends
solid oxide
alright lemme spectate you
frosty trellis
oh we just lost
solid oxide
aww
frosty trellis
that was not a fun 40 mins lmfao
ts so stupid
i tried to farm jungle but i got like insta 2 shotted somehow
like
solid oxide
yeah it lookis like there were way too many people trying to do the same thing
ohh
yikes
lol
they somehow mustve known you were there
frosty trellis
me farming and insta dying
solid oxide
he wasted his ult on you which basically deals damage based on the difference of how much mana you two have
looks like him and pa were dominating the entire game
solid oxide
wk isnt really a hero that is able to farm naturally without items unfortunately
well you do have bone guard but its still hard
frosty trellis
theres just alot of shit in the shop tbh! i think its overwhelming when i have to quickly read wtf they do
solid oxide
playing dota is like driving a car kind of
frosty trellis
idk that was just kinda a frustrating game
solid oxide
it can be overwhelming when you do it for the first time
but yeah i can see how that game couldve been frustrating
when you play dota how are you picturing things going
solid oxide
hmm
frosty trellis
i wish dota had like a shop like deadlock where its easy to read on the fly
frosty trellis
simplify info
solid oxide
you can try enabling enable simple shop in the options
frosty trellis
like this is easier to read than like "stick of enchanted hell"
frosty trellis
okay yea that is better
solid oxide
after youre done with those items it moves onto a different category
when youre starting out as a new player you dont need to worry too much about figuring out the best items as its best to just familiarize yourself with whatever the game gives you, i guess
frosty trellis
i hope my next games arent frustrating as hell
solid oxide
you could try playing with me or some others here next time
frosty trellis
1-17 jesus christ lmfao
maybe later tonight? idk if you would like macroing me tho
frosty trellis
what else hero should i play? i was getting hard countered by the dude who dropped 20 kills
solid oxide
idk if hes a direct counter to you, its more that like
basically, in dota pretty much every hero is super strong if theyre fed that much
one thing you can try is to avoid dying which is easier said than done, i get that
so
what happened here is that on your side of the map on that cliff in the red circle, the enemy team managed to set up wards
wards are invisible
but
orange wards give vision, but blue wards let you see invisible units
so he was farming the mid lane, saw you were farming there and was nearby so he figured he might as well swoop in and slurp you up (this is what he was seeing)
what a bully
thats what happened in your clip
solid oxide
one thing you can try is to avoid dying which is easier said than done, i get th...
so my point with this is that to avoid dying you can take measures
frosty trellis
so my solution to not dying was just not farm and be stuck at level 13
solid oxide
you or your team can set up wards that give you information on the map, which you can also gather information from
no not really
it just wasnt a safe place to farm
frosty trellis
how could ive catched up on levels? everyone was 20+
solid oxide
the way you gain levels is by being nearby dying neutral/enemy units
not too nearby but not too far
when youre dead youre essentially missing out on both gold and xp
frosty trellis
so i shouldve farmed near my tower?
solid oxide
point is, even if youre standing around in a lane doing fuck all youre still getting some benefit
generally speaking, lane creeps give you the most for farming them
you gain xp, more gold than neutrals, you push the wave closer to their tower
frosty trellis
i think i got jumped like 4 times just for farming creeps tho
solid oxide
when you farm lane creeps you need to remember that those are the enemy teams creeps which means they can see you while youre doing it
if youre not confident that you know what the enemy team's move is, its probably better to look elsewhere to farm or do something
there are some heroes that can walk up to a wave, press a single button and immediately run away, pushing it and farming it a bit
but because youd take a bit to clear out the wave, people can take advantage of that so be careful
the minimap is your best friend
frosty trellis
is the new player mode just all bots
solid oxide
the new player mode fills out any empty slots with bots if it cant find players in time
but nobody plays that gamemode anymore so yeah pretty much
glass thornBOT
frosty trellis
so stupid
solid oxide
oh and
we can host a private lobby for us to play together against bots at our own pace
you can press f9 to pause the game in dota but in private lobbies we can do it as long as we want to
so if you ever feel like you need to take your time with something feel free
anyways the bots in dota are really dumb so you shouldnt struggle much if i help you out
frosty trellis
first time i tried new player mode my dumb bot teammate wouldnt help gank...
solid oxide
theyre using bot ai from like 6 years ago
that means
that they dont know a lot of new mechanics
they dont know the new map
they dont know a lot of heroes and sometimes they just straight up cheat
well they dont cheat but
this guy somehow got ult at level 5
frosty trellis
awesome
solid oxide
just a funny bug though
anyways i watched a bit of your replay and you really seem overwhelmed and confused
which is natural
rome wasnt built in a day and nobody learns all of dota in a day
im still learning too
well more like
i keep relearning it
because i keep forgetting how to play but thats a me problem
you shouldnt have any issue with that
one cool thing you can do is navigate to your heroes tab and select 4 heroes to ban before you even queue for a matc
frosty trellis
i didnt even know that
solid oxide
its not a core mechanic of the game
but its neat to have if playing against some heroes is just annoying to you
frosty trellis
you taught me more than i learned in game lmao
solid oxide
im a little hesitant with teaching you too much because im not sure if attempting to absorb so much information at once can be overwhelming too
but i guess its better than being thrown into something and not knowing what to do
frosty trellis
better than like spending 40+ mins to go 1-17 and nearly quitting
solid oxide
true lol
frosty trellis
is there mm penalty for leaving
solid oxide
in new player mode or custom lobbies no
frosty trellis
i wish there was like a ff or shorter matches
solid oxide
they only recently added ff but its for 5 stacks only
you can play shorter matches with turbo mode
turbo mode gives you a lot more gold, xp for anything, couriers are invulnurable and near instantly deliver items and towers have very little health
this results in about half as long matches
frosty trellis
ill try to play like maybe a match a day to try to learn
frosty trellis
in new player mode or custom lobbies no
even in unranked?
solid oxide
yeah
you get a 30 min penalty
its ok to leave very rarely, like once in every 30 or so games idk
i dont remember precisely
if you try leaving more than that though youll likely get like actual matchmaking penalties
nothing like a ban though
frosty trellis
2 week mm ban bc i wasnt having fun...
frosty trellis
does it not stack
solid oxide
if youre getting banned for more than like 2 hours you probably did something worse than leave a game
idk i never tried
you have this on your profile
so behavior score reflects your ingame actions which will be deducted for leaving the game for example
usually when i leave i hang around 10k
not below it but just a bit above it
if youre atleast 10k you have nothing to worry about
communication score reflects the quality of your communication with your team
frosty trellis
wow
i hope sometime soon i can have like a basic understanding so i can join in on the gamrs
solid oxide
behavior score:
3000 - unlocks ranked, 5000 - unlocks pausing, 7000 - unlocks requesting a coach, post game drops, 10000 - unlocks being a coach
communication score:
3000 - unthrottles your messages (30s cd on pings, alerts, chatwheels), 5000 - unlocks map drawing, 6000 - unlocks text chat, mini profile, 7000 - unlocks ingame tipping, requesting a coach, 8000 - unlocks voice chat, 10000 - unlocks being a coach
not really something u have to know
just funny to know
ive never dropped below 10k and im toxic sometimes to my enemies
bad manners and taunting is pretty acceptable here
frosty trellis
do you happen to know what score you start at?
solid oxide
pretty sure everyone starts at 12k
im talkign about behavior score like its something youll have to worry about much but dont worry
this only ever comes up if youre literally hitler in dota
frosty trellis
LMAO
solid oxide
its genuinely so hard to get banned from dota unless youre literally deliberately griefing
frosty trellis
being toxic in a 5v5 competitive game....
solid oxide
like extremely obviously griefing with no doubt
frosty trellis
i was so tempted to go afk in my match and just watch youtube
solid oxide
noone gets banned from dota and barely anyone gets below 10k
i mean i dont blame you
it seemed like a frustrating experience
https://youtu.be/3qEIQCffp0I if you have any free time to waste you can try watching this
its very simple and informative and fun to watch imo
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
itll help you narrow down your desired role in the game
frosty trellis
i was trying to farm enuf to go kill
solid oxide
mhm
itll also help you understand the other roles in the game
but im gathering you want to play as someone who farms and kills people afterwards
so that means you wanna play carry
you go from the weakest to strongest as the game progresses
the video touches on that kind of thing, its a good watch while youre eating or lying down or something
frosty trellis
youtube and food
solid oxide
this guy does a far better job than i ever could at explaining
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
its our ancient desire of a royal king to have entertainment while we eat
youtube is our jester
frosty trellis
your honor, i request a video essay with my nourishment
frosty trellis
i just ik its gonna be frustrating and tedious to learn dota but whatever
solid oxide
just try not to let anything intimidate you
dota is all about exploration
for some it might be a bit frustrating but something that dota does is that its insanely rewarding
the reason we play it so much is that nothing else hits quite as hard
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
its literally so rewarding in a way its addictive
things like learning something, applying that knowledge and getting a good result out of it does something insane to your brain
frosty trellis
the 5th guy...
i guess the only good thing i did in that match was take down a tower even tho i died instantly after
solid oxide
the name of the game is objectives
killing people and getting gold helps you achieve certain objectives
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
its always nice to kill people and get gold but you always have to think "how does this help me get the objective"
sometimes its fine to even force people to kill you
cause when you understand a lot of the nuance you can do some things like force people to walk all the way over to you and deal with you, maybe not even killing you just so they can keep the tower alive
anyways dying for a tower isnt the worst thing, its a trade and can be worth it
frosty trellis
like making that guy waste his ult while i was farming 💀
frosty trellis
i think one time i got triple ganked for no reason too
i wasnt feedibg i was creating diversions 
were my teammates up to anything good?
watchin the video rn
of course with food 🥪
solid oxide
were my teammates up to anything good?
not rly
the axe probably was the only good player cuz he died only once
even though his item build is weird af
frosty trellis
ok yea i guess i wasnt suppose to be in that lane lmfao
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
he explains this later but when youre a new player, both of the core and both of the support lanes can be essentially the same
core is the farmer and killer and the support is, well the support
frosty trellis
are you still watching my game or nah
solid oxide
i watched a bit of it
i really just conclude that you have no idea what youre doing and i mean that in a non insult way
itd be really helpful for someone to show you the way
for starters you just didnt know where to go, you didnt get any starting items, you didnt know how the game works before the horn blows which meant at -1 minute you were almost at their side of the map
then you realized your allies are hanging around mid for some reason so you went there, stood behind your teammates because you werent sure how to join in on the fight because you didnt skill the stun, you skilled the passive
if we play ill be supporting you since thatd be much easier
glass thornBOT
solid oxide
ill try not to get ahead of you
solid oxide
zquixotix suggested that even if you wanna do mid itd be best to start out on the sidelanes if youre just grasping the very fundamentals
solid oxide
hmm
snow ruin
its the most personal role
frosty trellis

and how to play storm
im definitely not a specialist in those things though

no
blitz is better
blitz is a GOD he earned the title of GOD in dota 2 which permanently makes him the best storm player, he INVENTED playing storm
he knows the hero better than anyone else and everyone else learned from him
just like BurNing anti mage GOD
he invented anti mage meta
for over a decade these heroes are defined by these players

idk from my personal experience i have a blast playing the game
it just can be a volatile game to play to those who can get emotional when playing
frosty trellis
for starters you just didnt know where to go, you didnt get any starting items, ...
where should i be within the first minute?
snow ruin
idk from my personal experience i have a blast playing the game
yes but you have 5000 hours
i mean for anyone before 100 hours
the game will be so overwhelming and foreign with all the information
that you basically cannot take in any socialization
frosty trellis
i went 1-17 and was pretty frustrated lmfao
snow ruin
you should watch me play a game and ill try to teach you and then ill watch you play
frosty trellis

i mean for anyone before 100 hours
ohhhhhh

so basically early game, i should focus on trying to win my lane and get xp adv?
ill try to rewatch it after im free
solid oxide
xp adv can mean getting an ability earlier than your enemy
snow ruin
so basically early game, i should focus on trying to win my lane and get xp adv?
yes
and you keep pushing advantage
as a mid, you're the pace maker
you control the momentum and flow of the game
tempo
you're the +1 which turns tides and forces fights
or you're the pressure which lets them off your team

he told me in a call we was from the us once idk
heady gust
i just had an impression that he was playing from the us in europe servers
solid oxide
just because i dont know whatd be so funny about that
dude i literally even told you how im constantly talking in russian
i speak russian bro
you dont speak russian unless youre atleast 1/1000 european
heady gust
you barely have a slavic accent that's pretty intereting

i tried to play as storm rn but it got banned and now i have a 30 min mm ban lmfao
fuckkk
snow ruin
why do you have an mm ban?
frosty trellis
i left bc storm was banned
i think its over now
i wish it put me in lower elo lobbies bc there was a guy with lile 7000 matches played
snow ruin
dont leave games bc of that
frosty trellis
i fucking did it
holy shit
i think i got carried but whatever
that was really really exciting??? wtf i see what ur talking about now
i didnt bot out this time but looked at what my team\enemy team was doing and made my choices on what i know
snow ruin
just btw your backpack items arent active
you need to put higher value items in your backpack into your actual inventory
also usually having more than one of an item is not worth it
frosty trellis
idk why i bought more than one stick
i was probably trying to heal but didnt realize its on a cooldown
frosty trellis
then i bought a bottle because i saw a fight that was worth winning and wanted to get my hp up
snow ruin
dont buy bottle unless youre mid
bottle is only good for refills
and as a non-mid, you arent gonna really refill your bottle
better to get healing salve or tangos or clarities etc
which are way cheaper one time regen items
bottle is 660 gold
frosty trellis
hopefully my next game i can play mid
but yea i felt a rush when we were at the base knowing they cant respawn in time to stop us
solid oxide
and as a non-mid, you arent gonna really refill your bottle
tbh i wonder how viable it is to get bottle with shovel considering how much water there is around the map
you can get 2 charges every 60s
snow ruin
tbh i wonder how viable it is to get bottle with shovel considering how much wat...
and bounty runes
but
solid oxide
oh those too
snow ruin
its still not worth it vs. lane
solid oxide
hmm i guess
snow ruin
you have to leave lane
to get water or bounty
and its like
not much regen for the gold you lose
and xp
theoretically there might be a way to
but no one has really figured it out
solid oxide
i feel like if bottle was cheaper itd kinda revive jungling
with so much warer
though youd have to rely on neutral rng
frosty trellis
i think i shall play another game rn....
solid oxide
youre slowly familiarizing yourself with your surroundings
its like driving a car
eventually youll always remember to use turn signals
eventually youll remember every road sign
eventually youll remember what speed is right in what situation
frosty trellis
do i just learn in turbo
frosty trellis
yipee someone dc'd
solid oxide
some things u should know about dcs
you can dc for 5 mins until you get an abandon
5 mins doesnt reset upon another dc
you can still keep playing the match after getting an abandon
frosty trellis
yea we lost pretty bad lmfao
solid oxide
every player can pause with f9 two times with a 300s cd
frosty trellis
what can you do if someone is like 5 levels ahead
solid oxide
if an ally disconnects and someone on your team pauses the enemies are obligated to wait 1 min per pause
solid oxide
you can dc for 5 mins until you get an abandon
time paused doesnt count towards this
the game doesnt count if someone leaves before first blood, otherwise it will be scored
if someone completely leaves the team gets additional gold per minute to compensate
also you can control the disconnected player but it may not earn gold or purchase items
solid oxide
what can you do if someone is like 5 levels ahead
coordination is the easiest way unfortunately
its hard to outscale someone whos snowballing
its kinda hard to say
in turbo players snowball really fast lol
solid oxide
be careful about afking unless the game is like 1 min away from ending
frosty trellis
we were about to lose anyway...
solid oxide
mhm thats fine
they just get you if you don't earn any experience for like 5 minutes
frosty trellis
i just wanna win all my games and have fun...
idk i dont think ill be super into dota, just enough so i can hangout in vc
heady gust
dota is not fun until 100 hours
i have almost 5x that and i still don't have fun
heady gust
feels daunting
yes as it should
there's a reason the game is flooded with review complaining about literally anything it has to offer
and also review from dudes with 30k hours urging you not to try it
there's a reason for that
polar marten
i think i got carried but whatever
aw hell naur he put he radian in the backed pack 😭
polar marten
guess what bro just picked in an official game

which movie is it?

@solid oxide how you play games for 4 hours without getting mentally tired, especially dota?

im not rayne but games are either problem solving or escapism
that's the value they provide, either you get to live another story, or you get to solve interesting problems

play with friends
thats how i played so many games in a row
without getting tired
cuz it was fun with friends
that being said today i had a few interesting games with some interesting moments
did get a genuinely unwinnable game my last game but thats the kind of challenge the game throws at you for winning too much

win too much and you get put in games where theres this really good guy and other idiots on the other team and your team is like also idiots
you just need to recognize that the game wants to see how you handle being in a team with idiots

infamous 1v9 lobby

i definitely couldve won that game
but its the kind of game where you dont get to make many mistakes

i don't have any other weirdo friends who enjoy minecraft bedrock
and i've uninstalled dota (and other competitive games)
and the most fun i've had in a while
is when i was winning apex games with my spanish friend who turned out to be kinda racist
