1st for waifus

>stronger than male huskar
shit taste

delete this

...

>being scared of strong women

...

No, just scared of any implication that huskar is strong
This is a good post

CM can do so many things, if they buffed her ms a bit she'd be picked every game. It's only a matter of time though, 11 straight patches she's been buffed.

REMINDER

reminder your waifu a slut

>slark buys dust level 1 to deal with solo off weaver
>oh good, he's not retarded
>proceeds to completely fuck lane equillibrium, shove waves under tower, farm the pull camp when I pull, feed, and try to go on weaver at 200hp while weaver has 500 because lol I have dust

I WANNA DIEEEEE AND TAKE THESE FAGGOTS WITH ME

>safelane void literally is not laning against any one
>fucks up creep equilibrium (two ranged creeps on the third wave)
>"fucking useless support can't pull just not doing anything"

>carry has to buy dust during lane stage

>6k+
Dota Heaven

Remember when d2g said Korea would dominate dota? MVP still has to win anything relevant.

Why are d2g shitposters always wrong?

4-5k is also bought accounts

tfw you fuck up and lose a game that was basically already won
s-sorry team

It is a mix of the bought accounts from 5-6K and the dedicated tilting pieces of shit 3-4K.

Thus, Dota Hell.

so you are that guy d2g is always talking and blogging about

get your shit together for fucks sake

Holy fucking shit moding sounds is a fucking pain in the ass. I'm surprised that no one ripped the wc3 sounds to reborn yet but maybe I'll do it.

What?
Pls, it was the first time that happened to me, usually I have a positive or neutral game impact

They were really strong for like 2 majors.

He bought them level 1.
He then used 1 to get a kill, then once more to feed with it.

Why didn't you buy the dust, you fucking trashcan retard?

>tfw play Dota 2 with "Un-break My Heart" as my background music

soundcloud.com/tonibraxton/un-break-my-heart

Not him but if you're playing hard5 then you probably won't have gold to buy a dust to start. Depending on the bracket, you need to TP to lane or shrine as soon as game starts to anticipate wards, then you need to buy an obs and sent to secure the lane before the first wave spawns. There's no way a supp can afford the 180gold for an offensive dust.

ever have one of those games where the odds are completely against you draftwise but you manage to pull out a win based on good late game decision making and you get to shit on the people who shattalk you all game

what a goddamn feeling
blog over

yes

damn this is a good image

what did he mean by this?

>games begin at 2 am

fuck

are fnatic our boys or are clutch our boys

This. I started with a sent, but I used it to deward mid, and figured I could just bully Weaver at 1 since I took Shadow Shaman.
Which worked, it's just Slark auto attacked the lane and never denied to Weaver was level 5 at minute 4.

>I started with a sent, but I used it to deward mid,
So you got 100g for another sentry

Sure, but mid used the courier, so it's not like I had it, and this point is all moot. Slark bought level 1 before the game even began.

I sort of want to spam hard carries, even if I have to play them as supports. I feel like there are games that I could win as (support) troll that I couldn't as Rubick. Shit tier btw

what do you think of people that boost their friends accounts out of 1k?

You will lose every game

Can you stop raiding our site? Thanks.

You say that, but I have won 70% of the games that I have gone jungle as Terrorblade when we already have a safe lane carry

>go shadow shaman
>vs lardar sandking lane
>go ether shock first so I can trade better since shackles will be useless
>trade well
>spec realizes I took shock first
>lets me die when SK overextends, tells me to leave lane and I'm trash, loses lane to solo SK and gets no farm

I guess I've climbed high enough to finally reach those forever tilted faggots that throw games over literally nothing.
Why can't everyone be as chill as they are in normal skill.

literally who plays on fnatic nowadays

/ourgirl(male)/ Febby

Is Kiev the least exciting """"big"""" tournament yet? Dota feels dead, m8s.

take hex you loser

What's unranked then?

just started playing this game. Says i have to be lvl 5 to use public chat but im already at lvl 8 and still cant use it. What's the deal with that?

...

So, i've played most other MOBAs (Smite, League of Legends, etc.) and HotS, and thought trying DotA 2 out could be fun. After playing a single match (not even to the end) i have a couple questions:

Can i lock the camera, and if so, how?

How to i interpret this minimap? All i see are tiny arrows on a grey background.

Is the map asymmetric? Why?

What skills will transfer well from other MOBAs and HotS?

My PC is a toaster, can the game still run to a playable level while not looking like an art project made of puke?

And most importantly, how am i supposed to have fun in this? Any fun heroes good for a new player for me to learn the mechanics? Because right now i'm completely fucking lost.

I can't stop playing doom guys.

>win game
>+26 mmr

kill you're self

>Can i lock the camera, and if so, how?
You have access to the steam console which means you can bind just about anything you want. .

In this case, "BindToggle dota_camera_lock"
Without the " marks of course

How do I stop getting mad when things don't go my way?

>win game
>+31 mmr

If you're going to lock the camera you're better off playing something else

nice

>brew is finally strong
>i'm the best brewmaster player in the world, as I also identify as a tripolar alcoholic
>have risen from 3.8 to 4.3k in 2 weeks

now THIS is podracing

>take his worst spell level 1
Literally why

WHEN DO E-SPORTS BEGIN?

>i'm the best brewmaster in the world
>4.2k

>How to i interpret this minimap? All i see are tiny arrows on a grey background.
surely it's really fucking obvious that's the hero positions on the map you mong

it even gives you direction unlike every other assfaggots ever

since when does frampt have shoulders?

stop and think to yourself
>is this helping me? is it productive to be whinging and being mad now?
you will find more often than not the answer to that is "no", so you just need to focus on the fact that, even if the things around you are complete and utter dogshit (whether that be things in real life, or other dota players), it is not productive to be mad about it, and eventually the feeling will be dispell

>post on d2g
>Everyone's assblasted and can't grok the 'mes

>Post on csgog
>Everyone's chill and memes expertly

What a difference between a first world general like csgog and a thirdie containment thread like d2g

Hello /d2g/

When do they announce the teams/line ups for the thing that starts on the 24th?

Yes, i know that, the thing is, how do a know which arrow is which hero, which arrows are from my team and which ones are from the enemy team, where the hell are the camps on the map, etc. The minimap being really small also doesn't help.

>doom is bad

-d2g

league is better

WHEN DO E-SPORTS BEGIN

>Can i lock the camera, and if so, how?
kys yourself
>How to i interpret this minimap? All i see are tiny arrows on a grey background.
you will get used to it, also there are an option to change grey background to normal colors and arrows to hero portraits
>Is the map asymmetric? Why?
icefrog is absolute madman, don't question his design decisions
>What skills will transfer well from other MOBAs and HotS?
idk last hitting and general map awareness may be
you need to learn more things in dota than in all those games you listed combined
>My PC is a toaster, can the game still run to a playable level while not looking like an art project made of puke?
i recently upgraded my 8 year old PC (think of PS3/Xbox360 era), and it could handle dota at 50-60 fps just fine on lowest settings with 100% rendering
>And most importantly, how am i supposed to have fun in this?
you don't

19 hours. I'm sleeping soon so I can watch all the games tomorrow

they already did
wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Kiev_Major/2017/Group_Stage
>3.5k mmr
tomorrow at 6 AM GMT

Brew is utterly retarded at the moment.
>hero whose biggest problem was falling off but who still retains incredibly strong utility throughout
>give him stupidly good talents
30 attack speed, 75 extra thunderclap damage, 20 strength, 120 damage, bam, strong as fuck late game carry if you need it.
Or 2k extra health for brewlings, both are good as hell.

in dota everything is possible
d2g is always wrong

Your Match Making Rank

Post It

no bully

Better than mine. I cant get Doom to work no matter what I try... What's your item build?

>aether lens + talisman of evasion + recipe = aether jewel
-what aether lens does
-25% evasion
-reduces mana costs by 40%

>electric gay mexican laugh in background
make it 10% or something
or make it active with 5 seconds duration and 30 seconds cooldown

Starting items - PMS+Tangoes
Skill build - Q, W, W, E, W, R, W, Q and so on.
Item build - Vlads, Blademail, BoTs, Shadow Blade/Blink, whatever the fuck you like at this point
Early game creeps to eat - large satyr, burd, harpy
Late game creeps to eat - wolf, hellbear, burd

Really? The bird? Why?

The armor. That's pretty much it.

It's only 3 armor. If you're that desperate for armor late why don't you just build an AC and/or Shivas?
I'd rather the Centaur or Troll late.

*bullies*

I guess a Troll/Centaur are better choices but that means more buttons to press

>getting anything else but the wolf for lategame
you have to be literally retarded to ditch a FREE venge aura and crit for a shitty stun

[Spoiler] Insider bro here. Changes to be made to midas and pit lord for Kiev major.

Midas will be like moonshard, will give x% extra gold for last hits / hero kills, does not apply to buildings when held, if used will give 75% of x%

Pit Lord's ultimate being reworked to be like Furion's teleport.

>midas will be like moonshard
what the fuck is that even supposed to mean you autist

when held it will give more gold, it is not an active item with a cooldown. it can be used on your hero like moonshard can be, to give a buff, but for less values than the item being held.

Sometimes you gotta settle with shit because either the game hates you and doesn't spawn wolves or everyone just clears them out before you get to them.

sounds good desu
too bad this post is 99% fake
baka
still screenshotting it just in case

comfy sunsfan cast

just eat the ancients bro :^)
thunderlizard is pretty good

They are working out the kinks because of alchemist already having greed. It's not scaling properly with that skill, and it's holding everything up. Currently the multipliers are giving nearly 800-1.2k per rune, they can't figure out why.

>removing bonus XP from midas
AS IF IT'S RECENT NERF AND TRANQUILS NERF WEREN'T ENOUGH

valve being incompetent fucks makes it sound more believable
thanks for the info fake(?) insiderbro

talents ruined dota

but it would have stagnated and died if it didn't change at all
