this fat fuck is stealing millions

nth for Traxex is the best waifu

BUFF ME

You mean nerf, righT?

with tiny you want to farm treads, blink, & bottle, usually in the safelane. after you get these, you roam around the map & get kills with your combo (q followed really quickly by w which lets the q deal damage twice). after that you go for aghs which makes you really good at fighting and pushing, then you get ac, bkb, daedalus, & moonshard
try to stop seeing him as a traditional melee carry and think of him as more of a spellcaster like zeus or lesh, because that's pretty much what you are since you rarely actually get into melee range to right click people

...

Y'all niggas better hit the image limit earlier this thread

>Tfw want to go to sleep so you can wake up to watch Epicenter but you can't fall asleep

>timber gets buffed
>no more PSJ blogposting
Thx based icefrog

What is your go to Kush Queen Medusa strat, /d2g/?

what if battlefury axe

who should I main?

I want someone who can go mid or safelane.

PL? Morph? I want to gain mmr so I think just playing one hero over and over is the best way to be consistent.

>Epicenter is in ten hours
>Really sleep and want to sleep now
>But have to force myself to stay awake for an extra three hours just so I don't over/under sleep.

What percentage of dota players are aware that the minimap exists?

Because its seems like its less than half

random every game to become a true dota player

um
how do I upvote posts on this website?

+1

They're aware it exists but don't look at it unless
>ping ping ping
Most dotards are honestly really bad at video games, rather than coming from RTS backgrounds where you're required to multitask they're usually FPS players or worse RPG players.

eurotrash tournaments mess with sleep schedule

fuck off

terrorblade
he's actually pretty strong mid if you start with pms + tangos since you pretty much ignore creep damage & you barely get harassed. you can even trade hits with your opponent and come out ahead

Thanks but
>q followed really quickly by w which lets the q deal damage twice
Dude what?

>Not used to getting up at 5 AM

lmao dotuuuurd !

what if the enemy picks slark or ursa and stacks up their passive on you?

slark could reduce you to ~100 hp and kill you with max essence shift and he'd have like 200 base damage at level 5

Damn, it fucking works but how SO THIS IS THE SECRET FOR HUMONGUS DAMAGE WITH TONY I SEE ALL THE COOL KIDS DO THANKS MAN

if you cast avalanche then almost immediately toss the target into the air, it takes the first burst of damage from avalanche, then when it lands, avalanche deals a second burst of damage, and the target also takes toss damage. it does an insane amount of damage which makes tiny really good at ganking early on

...

nice thread doturds

youtube.com/watch?v=oz5bs__rA1A

Is this video funny?

>mfw trying to play PL against timbersaw with no stun team

what if you just burst slark down because he's fucking slark and you're timbersaw?

>0 tps

How the fuck do you counter a fed Timbersaw actually?

this is some dota imba shit

maybe they learned their lesson from
whats the point of tping in if you can't actually damage timbersaw? all you do is leave your lane wide open, get 0 experience and run around in circles while timber makes infinite amounts of space

33 armor 33 hp/s regen at level 7
you CANNOT kill him

bkb, diffusal, abyssal/hex/orchid

let him get himself killed by timber chaining into melee range at 30 minutes and thinking its still 3 minutes in and he's immortal
and then stun/silence him and right click him 3 times and he's dead instantly

reactive armor is only good early game lmao he's easily killable lategame

>33 armor 33 hp/s regen at level 7
>you CANNOT kill him

he CANNOT kill you

at level 7 with 1/1/4/1 skill build timber can deal up to 1300 pure damage in 8 seconds

>shiva
>blademail
lmao

>shiva

What do you do when the game is impossible to win? Don't bullshit me and say "that never happens." It clearly does happen on a semi-frequent basis. It seems like I get a totally unwinnable game every 3rd game I play.

how does hotd slow?

>8 seconds
>no cc

>just __ out

build hurricane pike on terrorblade

i didn't know hotd can give int and active aoe slow

yeah just tp out of your safelane and leave it to timbersaw to 1v0, thats probably your best bet
he can have freefarm and knock down your towers easily but its better than feeding him kills

Here is dota:

>1 game that is completely impossible to win, you have a DCer on your team, your mid invoker solo feeds enemy mid omniknight (no idea how but he found a way), your team is AFK farming while enemy team has 5 late game carries, etc etc etc. it's basically an impossible game with an effectively 0% chance of winning

>2 games that are close matches and your skill has to shine through with full effort or else you will lose. Even with amazing plays by you as an individual, you will almost lose the game due to a number of mistakes you or your team makes. It will be close no matter what you do.

So this guarantees a ratio of 1 FREE loss to 2 close games. If you win your close games, you have a 66% win rate. If you're like a normal human being and win about half of the time when it's very close, your win rate will actually be 33% due to the FREE losses you experience every 3rd game.

what if mjollnir zeus

mediocre at best just like the item

>dotabuff.com/matches/2356625439

hmmm

What is the best item in the game

By posting more of that hot punjabi puss m80

iron branch

Branch

>1 second difference
holy shit

>1 second difference
holy shit

Iron branch is only best in 1 way; highest payoff per gold invested. It is one of the worst items in the game in terms of payoff per item slot invested.

What is the real best item in the game?

Hayai!

tome of experience

Tango

stop

skadi's probably up there
>almost as much ehp as heart
>shitload of mana
>35% bkb piercing slow

Best in slot item? Probably Eye of Skadi. Modifies your attacks, provides armor, HP, and mana. Debuff is pretty massive.

bLINK DAGGER

i am still the greatest terrorblade player in /d2g/

You just lost to Peruvians monkeyz. You are an awful terrorblade

guardian greaves

>stats
>armor
>purge
>heal
>mana
>aura regen

Tell us your build

and what to do against Earthshaker, Faceless Void and Ogre Magi

oh and boot movespeed

>general pretty good on every hero items
blink
bots
glimmer
force

>actually best item in the game
helm of the dominatordominator

>this guy comes and staples your /d2g/ bf's ass

What do you do?

useless fucking hero

treads-dragonlance-yasha is core, only get bots if youre ballin out of control

after that stuff like manta sny skadi bfly are all good, silver edge is situational good

generally just anything that buffs those illusions hombre

hows dota these days? regular patches and new champs? or is it still worth staying away?

baka, rapes the tanky STR core meta

>zyori wishes he was a girl

nothing changed from last patch
he was useless and still useless

Sounds good enough. Thoughts on BKB? Linkens?

>nothing changed from last patch
?

regardless of your stupid comment he was good last patch too

>slacks is actually going to be a caster now

really

just fuck my shit

Guys, do we have a Discord group to talk lewd? :3

never liked linkens, bkb is situational tho

like with most heroes you shouldnt get bkb unless you absolutely have to

ill discord with u :3c

no he was shit
no picks
here in d2g they say he was shit
so hes shit

He's so dreamy~

If you're Meepo, dragon lance. He may rarely end a won game with it in his inventory, but the game will often be DECIDED while he still has two of them.

why does purge call himself purgegamers? he's just 1 guy

you're gay

>losing because your own team throws off morale

Anyone use Alt QWER For there hot keys? I'm think of switch but not sure if it will be hard to get used to or not.

that pic. templar on the good side.

i've NEVER played with a friendly TA in my entire fucking life

>pressing two keys when you could press one key

How can I get my team to not throw when I play broodmother?

don't pick brood

>brood

literally the autistic lovechild of lycan and clinkz, please stop picking her...

well I thought that too Zai and clq use this and they play at a way higher skill then me.
