>mk outranges ion shell

it's really amazing how broken they made this hero to sell hats. Even after a batter of nerfs. Prepare your anuses for the 2 new heroes to be the same

>HoN

>Is friends with Midjuan and Yapzor
>Used to party up with Puppey
There's no way SingSing isn't joining Secret

Pugna is a DUDE

give me tips on slitbreaker
playin with a four stack

>tired of autists raging in ranked
>queue for unranked
>even MORE tryhards and autistic ragers

Its funny how despite all the fucking nerfs hes still cancer in the hands of a good player.

Just get rid of the attack range and nost issues are gone

...

he still has absurd stat gains

MK is big in China since he's a literal God so its going to be different with the two new heroes

Gotta jew out those hats

I don't want this to happen
>1cleave drow or sven
>1 melee tank troll or any strength
>2 any
>satanic is required before you enter the desert and mkb for Sandking's evasion, other 4slots is up to you

How difficult is Arc Warden to play? He's gotta be Complexity 3 for a reason, right?

>get into a game
>Spanish speakers on mic
>mute them all

Anyone else do this?

imagine playing a hero with 3 actives
now play two heroes with 3 actives at the same time

that's AW

>it's really amazing how broken they made this hero to sell hats
Every hero is fucking OP when they first came out. This has been a thing since forever all the way back to Dota 1.

Don't forget the items actives as well.

mk is a literal god like winnie the pooh is a literal god

desu I think he's the original mary sue

He's the original Bugs Bunny

desu he was the original prankster stirring shit up on earth and in heaven and just making people lose their shit until buddha gave him the smack down and squashed him under a mountain and told him he's not getting out until he behaves. then he behaved and got out.

dotards?

At what point is it okay to purchase Arcana? I feel like you've got to know the hero in and out before endorsing him/her in royal regalia. Otherwise you give out a fake impression and people will tend to give you midlane or safelane so you can carry the game, which you wont.

What kind of rationalization is this?
Just buy the Arcana if you want it. Buying it and practicing the hero with it gives you more value since you are playing more games after purchase.

Cosmetics mean nothing kiddo

when are patch notes going to be released i need some change

>7.08
>nerf to all Liquid's heroes

How do we buff SingSing

Desu he was the original fresh prince

steamdb.info/app/373310/history/

You realize he's just memeposting.

im just striking a conversation you autist

>OG with Bigshitty AND Shartour
Into being defeated by SOPA it goes

You could be playing the damn game.

buff mirana, tusk, ember

>Excalishit
>Envy
>W33

>slitbreaker II delayed indefinitely

im playing pubg and posting on d2g

Prove it.

>openAI will eventually be able to spontaneously produce memes/bantz better than even finns and aussies
Only a matter of time

im queuein up for a rnaked game now me first game in over 3 years, ranked 2808 dunno how bad that is who should i pick? used 2 play necrophos still good?

finns can't bant, only meme

aussies are the bantmaestros

probs gonna leave halfway thru the game desu lol fuck dota just gonna have a match for shits n giggs ay

This is a stupid rationalization. Do what you want
The only reason I ever learned how to play PA was because I got her arcana from that wheel in the battlepass. People make fun of you if you're bad with an arcana but it's not like I give a shit.
It's fun, I never play heroes without cosmetics, it gives me incentive to learn them.
You can buy an arcana whenever you want, no one is stopping you

Nah
Dota is so big and old that chances are when it dies its going to be like a senile old family member dying.
Everyone is kinda sad but deep down they are relieved and glad they're finally moving on.

Spoilered because i sperged a bit.
With that said expect Valve to dominate even harder in the e-sports gaming scene with whatever they come up next, this time League had a head start but they were kinda lucky since they didnt really understand the impact of the game before it was there, even if they are super smart at maitaining their popularity, Valve is arguably better at finding and developing these huge high-impact high longevity competitive gaming experiences, the reason dota is this big and has so much support its not as much because Valve actually loves it, but because Valve chose a game that already had the potential to go ahead and pour work into.

Point is, eventually even shitposting will be automated by fucking computer algorithms
And then we are all doing it for free

>this arteezy game
So this...is the power...of na dota

That's never going to happen and I say that as a dotard who's more of a hotsbab these days.

Guys Puppey is 6'10'' compared to 5'10'' guy

>Dota
>Dying
>Ever
Never gonna happen. Worst case scenario is valve make dota 3 and the cycle of rebirth and death of the genre continues
Assfaggots are cursed and there is no escape from their relentless icy grip

yeah i left after 5 minutes and they put 2 mid and me to solo top vs razor n windrunner... how fuckin stupid

>5250 MMR
I'm doing it boys. Road to 6k is real.

>"sorry gotta go to a meeting"
>antimage has abandoned the match, this game is now safe to leave

why would you queue for a ranked game if you have to leave in 20 minutes

>dude, a small mesa and jungle creep lmao

Who was paid to draw that background?

Does singsing browse d2g?

People are inconsiderate and disrespectful in Dota, go figure.

But yeah, I hate those people too. Ruins the game for your team and saps fun out of enemy team winning.

i do, why?

is luna or queen of pain better to learn the game with? i enjoy these two heroes the most so far

go with qop

ok

I want to give her a beautiful black baby!

...

Nah

>casual and normie shit is popular

who would have known

>less than a week after TI and no good streamers are home and no tournaments are on

wowee user next you'll be saying that people don't watch football the day after the superbowl!

Neither of them

We've just finished our biggest tournament in the year. Most streamers aren't streaming and most viewers are getting over the streaming fatigue.

what why

Queen of pain is good in lane, teaches map awareness, and is a pretty active hero so play her

How do I not die as Bane?

...

Do you go force or blink first on this guy

position better
learn to use nightmare's invulnerability frame
buy wards
position better
stand behind your carry, not in front of your carry
abuse your great auto animation and your good stat gain in the early game
glimmer cape is a great item to buy and you can activate it after you start grip on someone
carry TP
communicate with your teammates more
place those wards you bought
position better

ok i will go for every bounty rune

Too brittle, you will be punished for mistakes which you wont even realize you're making.

If you're learning the game as a new player you want something that has

>good attack animation
>an OH SHIT I FUCKED UP skill
> uncomplicated skills

Luna is easier than qop in that regard but i would suggest juggernaut or sven. If you absolutely need to play a ranged hero i guess luna is ok

blink then force

you can get drums before blink if you really win your lane

So I just queued into my first normal match and my team got absolutely dumpstered and my viper rage quit halfway through.
When does it get better? Also why the fuck is limiting my hero pool a mechanic? There a way to play against other new players?

yeah i wanted to play something with better attack animation because i couldn't cs with tide
sven looked pretty fun too though so i can try him out
