D2g - Dota 2 General

Probably nor for a month or so, maybe not even until after TI6.

>In Normal All Pick, if a team has locked in more heroes than the other, the other team has five seconds to fill that gap before its members that haven't picked start losing gold.
Improvement?

IMO the quest variety is fine but they really need to switch back to the Winter Pass format, in which many of the quests had a cumulative progression instead of having to do it all in one game (leading to less people doing stupid things in order to get their quest)

Even better would be making all the quests run off a point system, where they all have three steps of increasing difficulty (like they do right now) with quest completion granting 1/2/3 points respectively. Completing a quest would require you to accumulate 3 points. The values could change but the ones I presented are a clear improvement for the players.

Cavalcade?

>tfw have to reinstall dota 2 after not playing for like 2 years cuz I got banned for a week from csgo again and I have nothing else to play

Alright fags, what's the easiest hero to play? Is it still crystal maiden?

Also how do I enable vulcan mode?

adelaide

>Properties
>Set Launch Options
>-vulkan

Easiest hero to play is Lion.

Have they improved vulkan mode significantly since they introduced it? I remember it having an annoying flickering.

Haven't had any issues with it

Anyone have success with building LD as a ranged carry? Been doing it last few days with decent results, there is some guy in dotabuff top 10 who is very successful with it. Kind of have trouble transitioning smoothly into items after phase dragons lance unless I am just snowballing though

Sheever is a boy

sorry to break it to all of you

how do i get out of this mmr? :(

pay me 200$

>pull the ol' aghs refresher serpent wards on enemy ancient while they're distracted beating the shit out of my team
>watch the replay in each of the enemy viewpoints to savor the moment when they noticed and lost all hope

It feels perverted but oh so good

>sorry to break it to all of you
You think d2g would be sad?

why dont people build lotus orb to counter sunder?????

she is a boy without ANY holes

Is this photoshopped?

they do?

I do the same thing and watch the player perspective of the people I kill during the times I get triple/ultra/rampages.

>All that desperate clicking when they get stunlocked

its not

did i mess up by getting sny instead of manta? i thought early stats are good, and you can disassemble into manta later

or should i have got radiance?

stop jungling

i went safelane with rubick

/lyricalgangst3r

is casting some nel games

I don't even give a shit that you just advertised yourself, I just want to watch NEL games, thanks faggot.

Peter has the best Dota stream

this bracket is so unreal lmao
I only belive that exist cause was print screened

dude that's lyrical

that fat dude who wears hawaii shirts, I think he was at the last bts hub

just bored and been waiting all day for some NEL casts

WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FUCKING LC COMIC REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
r8 my desktop guys

Oh, right on okay, well regardless, I'm the same way you are, I just want to watch some NEL, and after PPD tilted out it died off.
I'm actually interested in Casting some of these games myself, do you by any chance know how to do that. How do I even access NEL

...

perhaps you should go ask ixmike if you want to cast some games
ticket price is only what, around 1 or 2 bucks or so?

You told me this game was balanced /d2g/
Most balanced game in the history of gaming rivaled only by starcraft (1) and chess

so what gives?

you need to get vouched as a caster, which means you get invited to lobbys when games start

I don't know how you do that as a newcomer just ask I guess

You will lose a game just as hard as you won that one soon enough.

>play a game of INTERNATIONAL RANKED, 3.06k
>go solo offlane as AIDSmaster
>die one time cause i'm stupid and bad at dota
>die again because i kinda stopped caring and the game is slipping away in my mind
>just start dying over and over, just going with the flow, i farm til they show up to kill me and then i die
>I'm dying so much, they start sending extra people to "gank" me
>feel like this is actually good because jakiro's doing nothing, sand king is jungling at 200gpm, zeus has never left mid, at least AM is farming with all this attention on me
--intermission-- get ur popcorn --intermission--
>build 4 null talismans because why wouldnt you build 4 null talismans on necro?
>once my talismans are completely, finally get a scythe and quickly complete dagon
>start utterly shitting on everyone the rest of the entire game
>axe rationalizes that because they were winning the game, he is now invulnerable, keeps initiating into our entire team alone
>string out fights, big dagons going on, big scythes happening
>embarrass the contributions of my team on the way to a handy victory and MVP

"3k" and these players don't hit towers with jakiro while sieging because its more important to stand idle literally 3 inches outside of attack range

>"--intermission-- get ur popcorn --intermission--"
>>>/reddit/

>PSG
>playing a ranked game
woah there

international ranked doesn't have behavior score

however, every game i'm getting players that are honest to goodness low 2k or lower in skill level

>take a long break from /d2g/
>come back and see BSJ's protégé is still fucking around at barely 3k mmr
>meanwhile i've hit 4.8k playing just about every role (including supports, which this nigger always claimed couldnt win games)

good to know some things never change

THE ONLY CONSTANT

here's all you actually said though

>I place value on ranking up

and I don't, that's the end of that

yes it does

it's just that the international ranked queue is smaller so behavior score search range is increased quickly

also people with low behavior score typically do not play ranked

>also people with low behavior score typically do not play ranked

that's not true at all. i don't think international ranked has behavior score at all, there's no reason to even add that element to the search range. regular ranked definitely has behavior score

Yea it is, you really think valve would think/work on copypasta ranked 2.0

it works the same way as ranked even the calibration

You're at TI6 when this BIG GUY full of Vegemite slaps your GF on the ass

WHAT WOULD YOU DO /d2g/?

>pick icarus, the fire loli
>stomp the game, everytime
Is Dota THAT easy?
dotabuff.com/matches/2480507444

i care more about getting good at this game, rather than focusing on how bad my team is... which is why i end up climbing

ur acting like i play sf qop every game lol

but arent u the same guy who literally paid for mmr?

>tobi
>vegemite
he strikes me as a marmite guy

>tfw dole bludgers huff petrol in your back yard

>someone insta locks phoenix before I get to try my updated meme build

what should i be getting? guess it depends onthe situation but bots and daedalus are core right?

armlet

>BoTs is core
Holy shit, how bad are you in this game?

bottle > boots > upgraded boots > veil (for the int stats + the magic combo) > armlet > daed > blink > stack daed until rapier

Do I only have to resolve myself to always being the first target when I'm using Io?
