I get what they're trying to do. They're trying to close the power gap between carry and support so that every hero is useful at all points of the game. That's why they changed faceless void into a meme-carry. That's why they turned abyssal blade into a mid-game build-up item. That's why they're giving pure damage on every fucking support hero and buffing stupid fucking items like hurricane pike.
Ultimately this is blurring the concept between 'core' and 'support' so much that it's increasingly common to draft 4 traditional core line-ups that split farm 4 ways and 1 traditional support. Because the game lets you do this. And you get what you had last major, just a bunch of meme-tanks and retarded no-skill meme-heroes like naix, slardar, tidehunter, dragon knight, and deathprophet just fucking RUNNING at each other for 20 minutes and then the game is over.
This games a fucking MEME-game and I miss the days of Black^ faceless void 5 man chrono'ing entire teams and wrecking everyone with bfury. THERE'S NO FUCKING HARD CARRY ANYMORE. YOU CAN'T CARRY WITH A FUCKING 15 MINUTE DRAGON KNIGHT OR NAIX FUCKING YOUR SHIT UP AT 10 MINUTES. FUCK THIS GAME.
This games going to shit and REDDITURDS will defend it. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

they are having a "major" right now apparently
Colton Sullivan
>not even 20k viewers this is beyond sad actually
Julian Jenkins
I only just realized how good slardar was after the major. The uptime on the hero is amazing. You run around the map with 522 ms and stun fools left and right
Nathan Morris
Every fucking game some jungler walks out with 14 minute deso armlet iron talon
fucking nice game faggots
i will do nothing but LC jungle from now
Cameron Hernandez

Reminder to play good singleplayer games from time to time to maintain sanity.
Asher Rogers
Neither did Liquid.
Nathaniel Martinez
you are correct sir. i've actually stopped playing this patch.
it makes me sick to my stomach to read reddit posts. do those fucking imbeciles at valve actually consider that as being the majority opinion of dota players??
all my old mates rarely play and most absolutely loathe the game now and lost all hope in actually turning better.
Nolan Davis
Now, imagine if hots wasn't a blizzard game, who would play it?
Robert Garcia
>tfw this dango guy keeps spamming support morph at 6k and there's nobody to stop him
Thomas Fisher
>THERE'S NO FUCKING HARD CARRY ANYMORE. YOU CAN'T CARRY WITH A FUCKING 15 MINUTE DRAGON KNIGHT Agree, you either are already winning with stuff like void at 15 min or you are getting throned at 30 mins.
Carson Hughes
>not picking bounty or riki to stop this
Austin Jenkins
Yeah I tried with Bounty.
When I wasn't on lane the rest of the lanes got fucking stomped
Andrew Garcia
i jungle with ls and riki or bh are a welcomed sight, easy free hps
Asher Jenkins
So, when supports feed and complain they aren't getting carried, it's actually their fault because there isn't a 1v9 rice carry anymore, huh.
Michael Scott
well at shit mmr its not a problem but at higher mmr the mid actually comes to help once LS is spotted
its ok m8, im sure you will get out of 2k eventually
Angel Morales

They're on the lower end of Tier 1, but still good teams.
Joshua Turner
Well sure, worked for n0lans i guess but more likely he's just gonna get cucked out of relevancy again
Asher Edwards
The new combat view thing on dotabuff is really useful
when you make bad builds you can see how incredibly bad
Like in this entire game I did a total of about 1000 battlefury cleave damage to the opposing team, thats fucking nothing, if I had mjolnir I would've done way more extra damage
Hudson Cook
they are top12 worldwide
by shit teams I mean mineski, wings, eg or secret
Jordan Gray
No, they best thing about C9 was the ridiculous games and throws, the always finishing 2nd place thing was just a bonus.

Zachary Evans
Speaking of le_pubs, why PUGs and inhouses are not a thing in Dota?
t. gotard
Jonathan Clark
Is there a guide for all the fancy clicks this game has? Such as and the stuff like >x is missing. and declaring that you are going to buy something or that you need x amount of gold to buy something and so on.
Benjamin Morgan
They are though?
Isaac Kelly
>Have time for about 1 game a week Stopped reading right here, my casual friendo
Easton Young
Unless you're a NEET you shouldn't be playing Dota. Coming home after a tough day of work/school and only having about 2h of free time and then spend it on 2 shit matches of Dota 2 can will completely ruin your day.
Bentley Morgan
>Madara going vanguard on terror What could he be plotting?
Angel Moore
God, why is this hairstyle so hot. I literally can't stop masturbating
Evan Rodriguez
I think I do decently for the amount of time I get to play, I have 3.3k mmr, but recently I've been paired with fucking reatards for no reason
Nolan Campbell
where?
Daniel Hernandez
>this hairstyle so hot
Yes, dyke hair. Amazing.
Oliver Stewart
if evens i play a video game of dota 2
Leo Howard
Is Visage the most forgotten hero in the game?
Seriously, why don't people pick him, is he just shit?
Zachary Torres
*schlick schlick schlick*
Gavin Fisher
What kind of a question is that? Literally the second game in the watch tab.
Owen Reed
>Is Visage the most forgotten hero in the game? >Seriously, why don't people pick him, is he just shit?
Because offlaners are not even in the offlane anymore, so there is no one to kill.
Asher Anderson
>decently >3.3k mmr No
Brayden Brown
he is pretty shit without drow honestly
Jaxson Howard
i just play to spam ggboots tinker desu ne k-kawaii
Luis Gonzalez
Consider I play 1 game a week, not just the number in a vacuum
Wyatt Lewis
considering that the a giant part of the dota community is below 2,5k. you could say he did somewhat decent.
Coming from a guy who grinded his sorry ass to 4,8k and had the joy of playing with the biggest bunch of sociopathic retards for weeks.
Jack Gomez
>that riki build >that DP build >2 vlads >carry tusk >that dk build wtf am I looking at
Caleb Robinson
ive played this shit game for 3 years and almost 1000 games total and im still 2.4k mmr i need to kill myself
Gavin Cruz
More like whore. She already has that shitty piercing anyway. Not even Flowersong can salvage that. Might as well go with corruption fetish. Now just add some tattoos and she turns into pornstar wannabe.

Will Attacker finally be picked up by a team with all these buffs?

That is rather fucking unfortunate.

No non-shitty female ever used that crappy hairstyle. Go fuck yourself.
