wdym by playing alone?
The rest of his RNG member got covid so xNova had to play alone in the main stage while the rest played in their hotel room
green oak
Ohhh
Wow
Also apparently there was a pause in the long game and everyone thought it was toxic
Turns out someone just threw their headset
craggy ivy
Lmao Rage
EG got eliminated today which means no more North American team
Let's see if Boom can eliminate PSG.LGD
craggy ivy
welp they cant
green oak
rip
craggy ivy
aight time to cheer LGD since they're the one who defeated them down
craggy ivy
damn Fresh OG still managed to continue their run
craggy ivy
Team Liquid just eliminate Entity and Facing Fresh OG tomorrow
kinda had a little hope for Entity but sadly they didnt make it
green oak
what day are the finals gonna be on?
craggy ivy
LGD picked Riki in TI 
craggy ivy
and sadly they lost 
craggy ivy
man Team Liquid vs Thunder Awaken game 3 was epic
nice comeback from liquid and such a greedy foolish move from enigma
alright today is the last day we're playing in Suntec Singapore, next week we're gonna play in Singapore Indoor Stadium baby lets go!
(i guess since we got a week break)
green oak
it's a tough game to get into
slender silo
When I did toy with the bits though I played a lot of rubick, warlock, gyrocopter and I think a bit of the big demon guy, one of the more quintessential engagers in the game
Who I ended up not liking because he's not about getting in there and fighting, he just puts pressure on and still dies in a flash
green oak
Demon guy.. you mean doom?
Yeah all he needs to do is just doom (ult) the priority target and that's about it XD
Jk I'm exaggerating, he does more than that but that's the general idea
green oak
You should try the aptly named phantom assassin
That's the whole idea behind her character
slender silo
i actually played a lot of bounty hunter
he's a good money maker and his invis is nice to use\
green oak
Blinking in and out of fights.. killing people in 1 hit and then getting out again. That's basically phantom assassin
slender silo
hot
green oak
Bounty is cool, but he's mainly played as a support
Which means he provides utility rather than killing
slender silo
there's also Rikki as well
er, for assassins
i do like rubick btw
in fact, if i were to go back to the game, i'd play him first
i love the idea of copying abilities, like blue mages from final fantasy
craggy ivy
he's a good money maker and his invis is nice to use\
there's also Alchemist, hes a god money maker and put a really good fight
green oak
Riki is basically the perfect hero for noobs /j
green oak
Wow really. So you don't even play the game and you bought a very expensive skin huh
Why? XD
slender silo
YEAH 
because it looked cool and was the only character i cared to play as at the time
i still think it was worth it
green oak
I used to own a few arcanas
slender silo
warlock needs an arcana of his black grimoire tbh
green oak
Then I got bored of em and actually find it more satisfying to play with the normal skin
And also I realized they're kinda not worth it
I do have all the exclusive arcanas from the 2020 BP though
craggy ivy
most of the arcana are not marketable nowadays
craggy ivy
I do have all the exclusive arcanas from the 2020 BP though
that's include Windranger right?
green oak
Yes
craggy ivy
slender silo
I should toy with dota again
League of legends development process and balance is just not fun to deal with
green oak
if you need someone to play with then I'm always down
but my rank is a bit higher than average so you might have trouble playing with me
craggy ivy
Idk which server are you guys in but I'm also down to play with you lads
craggy ivy
i've played with one of my EU friend and the ping are round 200, yeah that's unplayable in Ranked imo
green oak
I can't play on anything over 120 ping
slender silo
Im MURICAN so there might be issues yes
craggy ivy
if we would to play together i wouldnt play ranked, but other mode im fine
green oak
yoooo free arcanas for everyone
insane
you literally get free BP and a free arcana???
too op
slender silo
It not being tradable is fine
But the game scares me with it's complexity and the expectations of teammates so it'll prolly go past me
green oak
they realized the bp is fucking trash and finally gave people compensation
craggy ivy
D-did they just listened to us?
green oak
not really lol but they did give us something for being shit recently
slender silo
Neat
craggy ivy
and it works on turbo mode 
green oak
Oh man I need to get around to finally watching it
craggy ivy
the last China Team (Team Aster) just got eleminated by Team Liquid
green oak
just now?
craggy ivy
yep
green oak
surprised the chinese teams got knocked out so early this time
craggy ivy
indeed, usually they are in 3rd or 2nd place
green oak
do you think this might be a liquid win
craggy ivy
my final prediction is Secret and Team Liquid
craggy ivy
I wonder if it'll be secret vs liquid in finals
i think it will happen
also this was gold
and relateable
craggy ivy
https://m.twitch.tv/clip/FunnyKawaiiGoblinHoneyBadger-d-6b_GrvXCxbF22I
oh i thought this was the link for TI stream
all he have to say is 4 words and the whole world literally shakin 
green oak
all have to do is give everyone free arcana
then suddenly dota 2 is the most played game on steam
with like +500k players
more than double the previous average wtf
craggy ivy
yeah dota is back again
green oak
which arcana did you choose
green oak
ikr
craggy ivy
i really would go for PA or SF
green oak
it's really hard to pick, but I went with pudge in the end lel
too bad I don't really play any of the arcana heroes recently
I wish there was an arcana for OD
green oak
oh invoker player huh
gigabrain
I'm a disgusting OD player and also play tinker sometimes
green oak
no, I play the right click build usually
craggy ivy
and tinker got nerfed so bad sadly
green oak
double null -> witch blade -> blink -> hex/bkb
yeah tinker is yikes.. he used to be good
now unplayable
craggy ivy
i've tried tinker few days ago and it was not strong how it used to be
green oak
I got to Ancient with Tinker, then he got nerfed, I stopped playing
then I recalled to Legend 2 
craggy ivy
I'm a disgusting OD player and also play tinker sometimes
right click OD... still works i guess
just kinda rare i've meet OD again lately
craggy ivy
the last time people usually play Meteor hammer yeah
green oak
witch blade best imo
green oak
since when? 
craggy ivy
yeah and has tons of reward
green oak
green oak
wow Tundra beat out Secret!
craggy ivy
wow Tundra beat out Secret!
my Final bracket prediction was wrong...
slender silo
We deciding on this year's arcana?
green oak
I don't think there's an arcana vote this year
actually now that I think about it
wtf valve?
craggy ivy
Maybe volvo forgot or the vote open in BP part 2
green oak
Is it happening now?
craggy ivy
AYO!
craggy ivy
coco hero
green oak
craggy ivy
Disney Coco i mean
craggy ivy
proly cause of the venue
undone cliff
wait why are they playing in open booths
Because PGL are greedy bastards
Like all play-off was in open booths
green oak
I dont really understand how an open booth is fair tho
like imagine a team smokes and the crowd will give it away
or cant the teams hear each other too
undone cliff
I dont really understand how an open booth is fair tho
I have simple answer. It doesn't fair
green oak
this makes 0 sense to me
I bet the crowd shouting is also very distracting to each team
undone cliff
This has sense, if you are greedy organizer
Close booths require money
And time
Time = money
craggy ivy
i feel like i see Leshrac in every match this year
green oak
finals is the only games I'm watching so far
green oak
spirit
green oak
man this Lesh doing so much work 
pretty even so far
man the tusk with those insane shards
UH OH not looking good for secret
I'll be honest this is looking like a tundra win for round 1 here
holy fuck what is happening in this rosh fight
that looks like gg
lesh dead no bb, tundra pushing racks.. yeah gg
tide is just unkillable holyyy
nisha is like solo carrying tbh
pretty sure the pudge didnt hit a single hook
Tundra takes game 1!
green oak
I'm cheering for Secret
the visage marci lane is insaaaane tho
marci is the most fucking cancerous support istg
visage is also just disgusting
wow Secret going much harder this time
great to see
16 min T2 for secret
damn it went from Secret looking strong to looking pretty bad
sad
this might be another Tundra game
YOOOOOO
they held the siege holy shit
double bb tho
really good stuff from secret
looks like gg again
Tundra too strong
2-0 for Tundra!
green oak
idk, I don't think I've seen most of them before
only heard about Saksa because he was in OG for a bit
craggy ivy
But is this the same saksa from OG?
green oak
I guess?
I mean surely there's no second saksa is there
this might be Tundra champions tbh
they're going extremely strong
craggy ivy
I mean surely there's no second saksa is there
Oh yeah you're this is the same Saksa
But there are also 33 so yeah only 2 of them are experienced player
craggy ivy
this might be Tundra champions tbh
If they could beat secret 3-0
They're the strongest team ever exist in dota professional circuit
craggy ivy
Only my Boys Kuro stack did it
green oak
NICEEEE
nisha destroying
woohoo they're doing great early so far
nisha going wild letsgoooooo
nooooo
holy fuck what happened that fight
did the stream die or wtf
man wtf is secret doing
naga was literally alone in that fight
they're not playing as a team
green oak
this is looking like Tundra win
this is gg...
ember dead no bb
holy fuck that medusa rekt them
gg
congrats to Tundra for winning TI!!!
3-0
undone cliff
Now i wish Gabe will fire PGL
green oak
it's insane, they dropped like 1 game total in their run
they literally steamrolled the entire tournament
I feel bad for poor Puppey
craggy ivy
Was really hoping puppey to win
Cause he have stopped my boys Kuro stacks from joining TI
craggy ivy
Imo what is the most important about TI is the Aegis
But yeah sadly the money ain't big
green oak
Too early for that I think
craggy ivy
than this TI is indeed very different from last year
cause from the last year we got an early announcement about where the next TI gonna be held
craggy ivy
No wonder why Tundra Doesn't seems to care about Leshrac
craggy ivy
wait wtf, lyra turned to a wolf?
its cool thou, kinda reminds me of warcraft III crystal maiden
that ultimate
also that brood mama immo
green oak
I like the qop immo, rest are boring asf
craggy ivy
indeed distrup and QOP is awesome in this one
that qop such a perfect immo for the arcana tho
also that taunt 
green oak
Yeah it'd be great for my arcana
Too bad it's an ultra rare
Also I don't even like qop lol
I want od arcana or immortal
craggy ivy
craggy ivy
I want od arcana or immortal
ah yes we need more OD immortal
green oak
<:RDBeam:659578735866937349>
Yeah that's cool
green oak
Oofies
slender silo
only the poor boycotts BP
only the stupid and easily manipulated treat a BP like a status 
craggy ivy
has anyone got the candies?
green oak
I haven't played the event yet tbh
craggy ivy
hmm imma grind tonight
green oak
I'm just doing cavern for now
craggy ivy
ouh so you didnt do any Diretide so far?
green oak
also that thumbnail is too spicy tbh
green oak
i mean we can trade them with arcana and other immos
I used 8 rolls and didn't get a single arcana
craggy ivy
also that thumbnail is too spicy tbh
wait what was the thumbnail? sorry i didnt check it out
craggy ivy
I used 8 rolls and didn't get a single arcana
oof then youre out of luck mate
craggy ivy
we can get any amount of candies right?
craggy ivy
wait what was the thumbnail? <:rdwut:300720134937378828> sorry i didnt check it ...
oh damn yeah you're right, that's a hella of thumbnail
i didnt know she actually showed up at TI
did she even play Dota? 
craggy ivy
1 shot 1 kill
slender silo
How is gyrocopter rn
slender silo
Damn
green oak
He's always been an alright carry iirc. Paired with the right heroes he's very good
slender silo
He does seem like a good stun spam character, isn't there an item that gives a chance to stun on hit with certain attacks?
green oak
Yes but it's only viable on melee heroes
green oak
Yeh that's why I said he's really strong as a support
All you need is like shard and veil
And you can shred everyone
slender silo
Wait are supports in dota like how they are in league in that they barely do damage or do supports in dota also do plenty of damage?
slender silo
I know warlock can beat people to death in seconds with his ultimate
slender silo
Warlock and Rubick are my two support picks tbh, warlock especially
I love his kit to death
Plus he's a summoner and I love summoners heh
craggy ivy
Warlock is good and Rubick is complicated honestly
slender silo
I understand why Rubick is hard honestly
Literally need to know what every ability in the game does and it's uses
Dudes a blue mage from final fantasy and that's dope as hell
God I wish I wasn't so scared of MOBAs I'd wanna play with you two 😔
craggy ivy
What makes you scared thou?
green oak
Who said supports in league do no damage? The opposite actually!
slender silo
The toxicity is one, another is that a match can either be really fun or an absolute waste of time where you're more of a detriment to your team than a help. I hate taking thst risk.
green oak
They're literally just mids that don't need farm
slender silo
Dota is also significantly harder than league due to there being so many more mechanics to worry about, like with how trees work and the river buffs and denying friendly creeps and so much more
Like, the game is fun, more so I think than league, but Christ the skill floor
green oak
That's true
slender silo
Idk what the games community is like
green oak
It took me around 2000 hours just to understand what the fuck is going on
And reach a below average rank
(guardian)
craggy ivy
The toxicity is one, another is that a match can either be really fun or an abso...
How I avoid toxicity is to mute all the players before the match, i would say Dota is fun but it's completely a waste of time doesn't matter tow it goes, that is why I stopped playing ranked and playing turbo instead
green oak
Hell I still suck
After 6000 hours still a hardstuck legend noob
I stopped playing ranked because I'm bad and it's very stressful
green oak
slender silo
But if I do play dota, I think I'll start as warlock
Unless the game really beats you over the head with "you do not have a main, play everyone equally" like in overwatch
slender silo
I see
green oak
Sometimes your main will be banned though so it's a good idea to have some backups
slender silo
I'd prefer to stick to one character to learn the game
And yeah, i thought as much.
What role is Doom btw?
green oak
Usually 3 (tank/initiator)
slender silo
Cool
The characters I'm most interested in are as follows:
Beastmaster, Enigma, Warlock, Doom, Rubick, and uuuh idk who else
green oak
Oh you like being a tank/initiator huh
And support
My favorite hero is Outworld Destroyer. He's just so silly strong and simple
And then pudge
Because it's pudge
Who doesn't like pudge
slender silo
It's weird, his arcana suggests that Doom isn't that evil
green oak
Hm?
slender silo
Pudge's arcana gives him new voice lines, some of the pertaining to the other characters
One of them says something along the lines of Doom not being near as evil as everyone says
slender silo
Silly
But tbh doom and warlock might be my two starting characters
My only issue with Doom is that he's so very reliant on his ultimate and he seems more interested in kiting than fighting
green oak
not necessarily true
it's what starts the fight off with but you still have your other abilities
and they are quite strong too
me trying to do cavern crawl:
(I fucking hate it and my life)
slender silo
Wish there were PVE modes, the game seems like it'd be fun with something like that
slender silo
As usual
I have so many cosmetics and I have only ever fought bots lmao
Wait
If I could find like a custom game or something that's just endless deathmatch, I'd probably play that for a while
I know it doesn't reflect the main game very well but if it gets me comfy with PVP, I'd maybe play that for a while
green oak
oh there's plenty
actually deathmatch is even an official gamemode
no need for custom games
tho tbh it's not that great
try the "Overthrow 3.0" custom game
sounds like exactly what you want
green oak
yeah it's basically just an endless deathmatch
there's a central area where you have to stand to get gold and xp
so it's a bit like king of the hill
slender silo
Cool
slender silo
oh yeah another cfharacter i really liked was uuuuh
the lady with the duel ultimate that's super risky
cuz losing with it buffs the enemy player
blandest design for a character i have ever seen
lemme guess, top 10 strongest characters in the game
my doom looks dope, yo
used to like venomancer since i liked damage over time but honestly i dont even know what he's good for
green oak
blandest design for a character i have ever seen
she's from the anime
damn very nice doom set
slender silo
she's from the anime
that explains it
i used to collect immortals, i liked the idea of powerful artifacts that were covered in pretty particle effects.
bro!?
BRO!?!?
slender silo
if i could kill off any character permanently from the game, its this little shit
i hate destructive, arrogant, ambitious people
Primal Beast looks fun
i like big stompy monsters like it
green oak
ah I see you decided to play a little dota huh
or are you just looking over the new stuff? 
slender silo
looking at new stuff, but i stopped playing when the little squirrel criminal was the newest character
i'd get bodyslammed without even getting a single creep kill if i tried playing the game
i also kind of hate dota 2 for snuffing out TF2s flame
but i guess it's valve that i hate for choosing this game over something that has a lot more soul to it.
BRUUUUUUH
slender silo
what lane does Doom usually go
slender silo
gotcha
green oak
basically your job first and foremost is to harass the fuck out of the enemy carry and make their life hell
bully them relentlessly
offlaners usually become very strong in the early stages of the game and the lane should ideally get progressively harder for the enemy carry
slender silo
ah, so be a demonic tormentor, sounds like Doom.
green oak
carries very often leave when the enemy offlaner hits level 6 because they will most likely have kill threat on them
doom is a good example
your second job is to attract as much attention to yourself as possible and force enemy heroes to come to you
if the enemy is distracted with you then they are spending less time farming, getting gold and experience and less time bullying your carry which gives your carry more gold
slender silo
aaah
green oak
and finally of course you should prioritize farming at least somewhat because without items it will be very hard for you to do your job
green oak
yeah. Prioritize messing up the enemy carry or mid, draw as much attention to yourself as possible and fuck around with the enemies
but also make sure to farm up a bit so you can do your job better
that's the general idea of an offlaner
there's of course a lot of different ones that may vary slightly
slender silo
i gotcha
but Doom sounds like a good place to start
dude's dangerous and not keeping him down will mean your carry is gonna get shut down every fight
would me playing with you result in me playing with opponents who are way better than me?
green oak
Yup
Well of course the game will try to balance it out by giving the enemy team some newbies as well
But honestly playing with higher rank friends is a pretty bad way to get a new player into the game imo
It usually doesn't end very well
But the bigger problem would be ping
I have unplayable ping to US west servers
And around 130 to east
slender silo
where are you located?
slender silo
oh come on, they didnt even TRY
slender silo
got utterly dumpstered into infinity in my first PVP match
just as i knew would happen :))))
green oak
Don't worry, play a bunch more games and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it
craggy ivy
Dota is hard yes, but just keep playing mate soon the game will be just a piece of cake for you
slender silo
i uninstalled the game, i'd be forcing myself to play with how nervous and shaky i get when even thinking about it.
slender silo
theres a free arcana?
slender silo
oh
no, i didnt even play more than 1
im so scared of the game
one wrong move and you're out of the match
craggy ivy
if you need someone to accompany you i'd be glad to
slender silo
maybe, but what stops me is
i die early game and i either get flamed by my lane partner until the end of the match or the enemy team just does every taunt and flame they can think of
MOBAs foster and support toxic environments
craggy ivy
Dota is filled with toxic players especially SEA server, but if you really got tired of them, at the start of the match just mute them all
thats how i get rid of them so i can play with peacefully and more focused
slender silo
i should give the game more of a shot i guess
craggy ivy
Awesome, let us know if you need a friend to play with
slender silo
thanks ayy jay
craggy ivy
slender silo
the only issue i see though is that if i play with either of you, im probably gonna fight players way better than me and bog the match down for our team
slender silo
how is beastmaster right now?
oh my god they got rid of NECRONOMICON
i liked that item
craggy ivy
theres lone druid, lycan, and Visage tho
slender silo
lone druid's a hard one, lycan i suppose, visage is also a 3 star
ad when it comes to 3 star champs, im more into Rubick
slender silo
Might have gotten some dota 2 buddies to play with
green oak
Hurray
craggy ivy
craggy ivy
oh yes baby i would vote for you
craggy ivy
marci is swole? 
slender silo
Damn, my friends who want to play dota even made a whole ass thread in our discord to discuss the game
craggy ivy
thats neat
green oak
I wish there were more people who played dota here
craggy ivy
this is where i found another brony lad who play doto
green oak
Wassat
craggy ivy
Steam Group
craggy ivy
craggy ivy
what a GREAT weekend 
craggy ivy
(I hate my life)
2
slender silo
Honestly, the way I see it, I wouldn't really care too much about losing, I just want to be good at the individual aspect. Wins and losses seem like they'd mostly be out of my hands even as a carry.
craggy ivy
i wont mind by losing every day
but the cavern is my problem
and yes i just bought 4 rapiers
slender silo
insanity
craggy ivy
40 min game in turbo
slender silo
bro
craggy ivy
damn these people are try harder
slender silo
absolutely venomous LMAO
craggy ivy
oh yeah that guy was mad and angry af somehow
he called us retarded
all of us
even the enemies
my man being serious in Turbo match 
slender silo
turbo isnt a good beginners experience, is it?
craggy ivy
its good imo
cause its a faster game
everything is doubled
gold and exp
Turbo is a Hit or Miss game
its either your team dominating the whole game or get crushed by some smurfes in the game
slender silo
blech
well, if it isnt taken seriously...
i need games played for the free arcana
craggy ivy
no one would take it seriously, but im sure there's that one guy who is
craggy ivy
i need games played for the free arcana
yes, thats how i claimed my arcana in a short time
slender silo
when does that end, by the way?
craggy ivy
January
slender silo
ah, plenty of time
green oak
none of them are afaik
slender silo
Gyrocopter ought to have one 😔
craggy ivy
babe wake up razor arcana dropped
But babe I wouldn't be able to get it thou
green oak
LET'S FUCKING GOOO
rolled an arcana finally
That's a total of 2 free arcanas I got so far
(including the swag bag)
Hoping I can get a third before the candyworks thing ends
green oak
Good one too, sf is one of my favorite arcanas
Monkey has to be my favorite arcanas to date, but the shitty thing is that I don't play neither monkey or sf very much
slender silo
i already have rubicks, and frankly he might be the only one i'd care to have. unless one for gyrocopter or doom releases :)))
damnnn
green oak
Techies is still an arcana lol
craggy ivy
i see how you keeping me to stick with dota valve
green oak
here's mine
craggy ivy
dang cool set
slender silo
ty
slender silo
how am i supposed to play him? game doesnt list him as either a support or a carry.
craggy ivy
He's an offlaner aka utility hero
So you're playing him as you play doom, with a different style and items
craggy ivy
does anyone have Ogre Magi Collector Cache set?
craggy ivy
literally the end of Kuroky and Puppey
craggy ivy
infinite tiebreaker
craggy ivy
Bro got banned for 10 years
green oak
the fuck did they do lol
also I heard speculation that the new update is going to drop next week
craggy ivy
Is it gonna be new hero coming up?
craggy ivy
craggy ivy
craggy ivy
Nice
craggy ivy

craggy ivy

Because every night/day Roshan moves to another pit
If you spent too much time, you can fail
rough temple
craggy ivy
i was wrong about her, she's actually OP 
rough temple
Nicely done. She's pretty fun, and a lot of people don't know how to play around her yet
green oak
Just bait out the ult if I had to guess
craggy ivy
the ult only have 40sec cooldown 
craggy ivy
rough temple
I'm going :)
green oak
if I lived even remotely close to seattle I would definitely go
could check out valve hq while you're at it

sended
craggy ivy
what server are you in again Mercurial? America?
green oak
EU
craggy ivy
oh
well i do have a friend from EU server and we play together sometime (in SEA server)
green oak
my ping to SEA is like 300
craggy ivy
my friend got like 250pings and he doesnt seems bothered somehow
try Exitlag maybe?
i heard it fix high ping issue
green oak
I'll take a look
rough temple
I'm US west 
unique oxide
Australia
craggy ivy
didn't got the chance to get my moonshards 
unique oxide
I’m having a weird issue in Dota where I get stuck in hero select and have to quit out and verify game files
craggy ivy
Does it often happen?
unique oxide
Not really actually
craggy ivy
i think that's one of a bug that Dota has and never got fixed too
sonic yacht
I love Lina
rough temple
Based
green oak
Lina's nice, but I liked her old shard and aghs more
and her old passive too
she used to be better imo, isn't as good now
rough temple
She was so strong last patch
unique oxide
Agreed
green oak
Last patch she was strong as a core ya, but I play her as supp
As support I think she got weaker
Old passive used to be much easier to get stacks with in lane, aghs was insane if you got it quickly and shard was pretty nice to have too for extra damage
unique oxide
You know what is going down
rough temple
Looks cozy 
green oak
Nice setup
unique oxide
unique oxide
I think I did well got alot of assist
rough temple
Looks like you guys did well keeping dusa shut down
unique oxide
Yeah
rough temple
thanks for the heads up 
green oak
Sheesh, I haven't played dota in months now
craggy ivy
me trying to avoid Dota but it just keep calling me
but never touch ranked tho only Turbo
rough temple
getting tired of turbo. Now I like real dota again. It goes in waves
green oak
there's periods where I crave dota and periods where I'm just unable to give any more fucks
I'm on the second period right now
unique oxide
I feel this lol
unique oxide
Why is my ping so high for

hazy trout

craggy ivy
How does one participate in TI

since NGX and Secret are not in i'll be cheering for liquid this year
craggy ivy
Oh don't worry, I come from league of legends
i never tried league before but yeah i think it's gonna be easy for you
since Dota and League are pretty much the same (i think)
hazy trout
The basics are the same, I don't feel lost
dusky meadow
Oh don't worry, I come from league of legends

craggy ivy
The basics are the same, I don't feel lost
Oh, no, i mean the players
unique oxide
I have chat turned off for a reason
unique oxide
I know this is probably a stupid question but how does one increase MMR and unlock Ranked play
hazy trout
ranked is after a certain time
mmr is increased by winning
but stay away from ranked
craggy ivy
I know this is probably a stupid question but how does one increase MMR and unlo...
Play 100 matches of normal match to unlock ranked mode
unique oxide
I don’t think I’m ready for ranked tbh
craggy ivy
To increase your mmr youjhave to win ranked match
craggy ivy
Each win gain 25
unique oxide
I have low MMR
unique oxide
Huh
hazy trout
did you read what was written on the screen lol
craggy ivy
I never played ranked either
People in that mode are trying hard to win
I've reached divine and I'm so done
So many buyers
unique oxide
I see
green oak
you're also not really "ready" for ranked until you're about 1-2k hours in
usually, at least
unique oxide
Zamn
green oak
you unlock it at 100 hours played, but frankly most people are still not nearly ready enough unless they have previous moba experience or are actual geniuses at the game
I was calibrating herald at like 2k hours played 
and honestly ranked is super stressful and not fun
yes, guaranteed roles are nice but that's pretty much the only good thing about ranked
hazy trout
then play, review your mistakes,watch guides
ranked won't make you better, it'll make you frustrated
craggy ivy
Imo The best place to practice in Dota is to play bot match
I used to play against bot when i was new to the game
hazy trout
hell yeah we won
dusky meadow
hell yeah we won
damn ur also a phoenix masochist?
craggy ivy
what i hate about phoenix is most of his spells are require both mana and health
hazy trout
I've played it for the first time yesterday, it was hella fun
Health isn't really an issue, you just W your opponents, Q in to get behind them, then R
and when you get back alive you E the survivors and your low health teammates
During full commit fights since you R you'll be full health again anyway
dusky meadow
donty care its better than mine i barely know how to play the game
hazy trout
nah i got uni work
it's the morning game just to be up and ready for the day
(i am manic)
dusky meadow
how about later today

craggy ivy

unique oxide
Anyone know why this keeps happening
green oak
no but don't buy the battlepass anyway, it's a piece of shit this year
they're doing you a favor by not letting you buy it 
unique oxide
Oh lol
green oak
the best battlepass in the history of dota was the 2020 one, it had some absolute banger skins
I got all of them
unique oxide
I See
green oak
I grinded my ass off for it
