NTH FOR BEST DOTA GIRL

nth for Traxex is the best waifu

>tfw you win a game as mid ogre

Are Cucks for Life still in it for America?

but she looks like kelly

I miss my bones

Does Brexit mean that ODPixel can't live with Sheever anymore?
Does 2GD have to leave Sweden?

delete this

Would you lick her armpits?

stupid animeposter

doesnt look like it wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/The_International/2016/Open_Qualifiers
EG BULBA and Ravindu are both in it though

Nope they scrubbed out against voidboys in Ro128.
Faceit has a bracet for this but it is clearly not made for 1000 team tourneys.

How do I play elder titan?

Do you use micro keys? What do you build? What do you skill?

...

>Is it in yet faggot?

how do you respond

>It's an "I'm right, I've been right from the start but for some reason we had to lose to prove it" episode.

EVERY GAME

Is elder titan good yet?

If people actually listened to me I'm pretty sure I'd win 80% of my games.

First pick/ban material.

>"we gonna lose"
>teammate stands around and does nothing but whine in allchat
>4v5
>lose
>"see i was right"

Yeah no shit

finally on my literal 20th attempt I got 3 stars for Axe, Blink, Call

I call out 80% of the enemy team's ganks correctly and people still get ganked.

Like just back off the lane and go farm the fucking jungle near the tier 2 tower or some shit. They'll get bored of waiting to gank you in 30-45 seconds.

Fuck I was hoping to see Mason vs EG in regional

puppey please stop meme'ing already

Yeah this is pretty much what every dota player actually believes including that guy who gets mad because his understanding of dota is from 3 years ago

WHEN DOES CLQ STREAM?

>Stream: twitch tv/beyondthesummit
LD please go

*downgrades soulring*

>it's a "me ooga team booga" episode
Every game, every thread, every time.

>I play ET
>opponents lose
What's the meme here kid?

>mid vs nightstalker
>4 minutes
>dark time
>he goes top rune I got bot
>nightstalker is missing
>I find a bountry rune
>nightsalker missing top with unknown rune
>ping top
>nightstalker missing
>care
>invisible nighstalker kills them
>call missing next time noob

Sometimes you gotta be the Dark Knight

>People mad when you carry them
>People mad when you call them out
>People just mad all the time forever

Honestly if you don't get reported often it's proof of you not doing your part.

>f5 picks oracle against dark seer
>casters: hmmm im TRYING to see where he fits, and what he reallly counters
>lesbian caster: hmm yeaa oracle is DEEEEECENT against dark seer buuutut
what the hell, oracle against ds in lane is one of THE biggest fuck you counterpicks in the game, on the same level as silencer against offlane phoenix when that was meta
jesus christ

>random chen as a decide to play it to practice when I see the enemy random bloodseeker
>at worst I'll buy every single ward, cour, mek, etc
>dazzle buys everything at the start of the game
>ends up making a mek too

alright

Man earlier today our carry shat on me for ruining the lane when our jungle ursa pulled the camp and gave double wave to the enemy and i was the solo support as usual
He then wanted me to get voodoo restoration in a lane where it doesnt even make fucking sense so i just told him to let me play my shit and shut the fuck up
After that he hasnt said a single shit and went inside the jungle to farm

>I get to watch Secret never lose tomorrow
I can't fucking wait, haters gonna get btfo. Empire ain't shit.

dominance established

Invis rune is just a pile of bullshit rune in general at times.

>be mid
>get top rune at 4 min
>bot rune isn't warded
>come and start manfighting the enemy mid in front of my tower
>suddenly stunned by enemy jungler out of invis rune

Every time, shows me to try to be aggressive when every rune isn't warded.

>t-this time for sure
>empire definitely will do it!
Never got this meme desu.

>so beta I even get cucked out of the wardbitch role

Stop fucking watching llama/aneedroid.

Watch a decent caster like mot or some shit.

/motpax

The TI6 prize pool won't exceed TI5's, will it?

fuck off gabe you fat shit

It will.

>RSI in right hand
>boring open qualifiers
>noone else streaming
What do lads?

this is why i play dota despite the stress 75% of games bring. to be there for you guys as your support and to do the things most of these fucking shit stain players won't do. it's like my trade off for all the stress I deal with. Just knowing I made that tiny difference and gave you some hope in the game. It's worth it.

>not going carry offlane chen
there you fucked up mate

Become a leftie

>other support is obviously trying to outsupport me
>ok fine I'll rush my fucking blink instead
>eventually notice that the map is completely dark
>other support has 5 obs in his inventory and is currently jungling

tbqh "muh OP" Slark has literally 0 chance against decent Troll Warlord

When do I get to watch EG and Secret?

I hope not would be fun to see all the excuses
>t-the hats were bad!
>valve released it too late, not enough time to jew us!
>the timing was bad because steam sale

>Play Position 7 hard support while my AA afk farms jungle for a midas
>He's half done building a midas, has 0 kills and 0 deaths, hasn't bought a single ward and is only half way to his aghanims scepter with a midas.
>I have more levels and networth than him by just roaming as a support and rotating to save team mates

WHY
DO THESE PLAYERS
PICK SUPPORT
HOLY SHIT

this is bait

tomorrow

How to fix Doom

>Devour reworked. Now grants a gold and exp bonus tantamount to 25/50/75/100% value of a bounty rune.

battle pass quests :^)
Thanks gaben

lolz

Yeah I had a game where I was solo support and people started getting really fucking bitchy because they were fucking up and I got to be the punching bag.

Times like that you just fucking mute people, play greedy on your support, and pick up a little farm and EXP. Once I got glimmer cape and level 8 shit turned around real fast for us and we just stomped them.

What if Slark could purge doom?

How to actually fix Doom

>Doom is now normal skill
>Devour is now ult - Devour can now be used on heroes and buildings

there fixed ur shit icefrog hire me

Or Doom is just completely reverted of all its nerfs so he's actually balanced again

Bernie Sanders: Here’s what we want "We want an economy that is not based on uncontrollable greed, monopolistic practices and illegal behavior. We want an economy that protects the human needs and dignity of all people — children, the elderly, the sick, working people and the poor."

who did he mean by "we"?

at the last moment valve will pull some shit like "buttholepass money will now go at 33% to ti prizepool the rest to our pocket instead of 25% as before" or maybe just outright "stealthily" inflating the prizepool so that there will be a sudden increase at the end for no reason
i mean i kinda like valve but dogturd2 is undeniably their worst product ever released and i hope it dies so dotards can return to wc3 dota and valve to making actual games, not tending to a memegenre

his wife's son


he's a fucking dumb clown regardless

how to fix doom:
replace lvl death with a much better scaling and better value spell
increase his BAT to compensate

Wish I could make a career as being a shameless kike spouting socialist slogans to dumbass kids who haven't figured out their being scammed yet

>dotards can return to wc3 dota

...

oh right 49,5% of this games playerbase is league refugees by now
dota2babb holocaust caused by not knowing how to operate the shops in wc3 when

Valve will never make actual games again. They make so much off of Steam and cosmetics and cash shop shit that they're never going back.

>uncontrollable greed

so forcing me to pay for your underwater basket weaving courses and your liposuction isn't greedy?

>monopolistic practices

monopoly in the U.S. haven't existed since the Sherman Antitrust Law of 1890. Bernie would know had he read a history or econ book.

>illegal behavior

having a bank account in a different country is illegal now? great, guess it's time to lock up those millions of people who have businesses and work in other countries but support their family and children in the states

why woulnt they want to make even more money? are you retarded?

well then
i still hope dota 2 dies

You're a sad lonely little man and I hope you get the help you so desperately need

He's gonna do it lads!

why is he looking at backwards text

...

Dota 2 is just too big for Valve now. It has millions of different players monthly and an Esports scene worth literally tens of millions of dollars. They're lazy and greedy and don't want the responsibility of handling the biggest game on Steam so they're letting Dota 2 die off slowly by reducing the quality over time so they won't be blamed outright for giving up on Dota 2

>Take $1,000,000 (you know 1% of a TI prizepool)
>FUCKING HIRE PEOPLE to work on the game nonstop since it's clearly huge enough to warrant people needing to work on it all the time
>Get bug fixes, qality cosmetics and an actual matchmaking system and deverlopers that communicate with the audience (why they're excused for not having this is beyond me but cucks gonna cuck I guess)
>Game is massively improved tenfold and blows all MOBA's right out of the market

But they won't do that. Dota 2 has probably pulled in over $250,000,000 counting all the compendiums, Esports, secret shop merchandice, TI tickets, sets, battle pass levels, they've made more money than they ever thought they would when they made Dota 2 and now they don't want the titanic responsibility.

how did this clown qualify?

>deverlopers that communicate with the audience
This is legitimately the worst meme of all time

>bot denies himself on neutrals as I'm about to kill him

yeah fuck you too valve

...

But it works so well for League of Legends!

>having more people working on it = better game

simply not true

Exhibit A: League of Legend and any Blizzard game

...

$0.003 has been credited to your account.

>so they're letting Dota 2 die off slowly by reducing the quality over time so they won't be blamed outright for giving up on Dota 2
the best part is that dotards are never going to let go, they could make people need to buy heroes and about 50% would stay anyway

Only good thing that LeL has done right recently is Jhin.

...

There's at least 50 people working on Dota nonstop, guaranteed
More than that though, what exactly are they going to do? Try to improve Doto "tenfold" and you might end up ruining it instead
Valve is really fucking bad though, not just for Dota but Steam support is awful too, they just really don't like doing customer support/interaction it seems

Just take 1 million and hire dudes lulz!

Communicate more with red- I mean the community please!

Make good cosmetics, you know not those bad ones that I don't likehahahah xdxdxd

kill yourself

...

>he jumps away aggressively

by smashing every single team he faced

even better, he was secrets best player when everyone was already playing really good

>120 cs at 10min

>mfw i realized the people who come here to shill for blizzard are not only doing it for free, but also in their minds they're excused because they're doing it "ironically" or to "make people mad"

Because they're making tons with this low effort cash shop shit.

Making a game that could compete with today's other developers, while not out of Valve's reach or limits, simply isn't the same hours of work-to-dollars gained ratio that this is.

>annihilate enemy team during laning and midgame
>take all their t2s and a lane of rax
>enemy team doesn't bm each other or give up
>they keep defending and avoiding ganks
>turns game around when we overextend and thrones us

every fucking time

>literally only a retard can have less than 10cs/min playing an ILLUSION carry like TB

like that's some sort of a major achievement
