>zeus big noob i fuck mother- i went 25-0 as mid zeus and it was the sf i killed 4 times pre 10 minutes who commented this
>this guy he picked Eldertitan and it was his first game with him, then he lost the tower at monute 5 xD- in a game in which i abandoned offlane due to dying once but getting dived tier 2 3 times so i decided fuck it just take the tower ill go get some farm elsewhere instead of feeding. the guy that commented was a jungle lc who went 2-7 and we lost in 20 minutes
>something that roughly translates from russian to- i hope your mother gets aids while you fuck her from behind with baseball bat- i don't know who this guy was but i hope i made his game unfun

...

When is KotL getting nerfed.

>playing with people from d2g
what did you expect?

SEE THIS
WAT DO

I'm Australian. Nuff said, thats why all these comments are aussie as. How would I play with people from d2g? They either get 300 ping on my server or i get 300 on theres, 250 for euro. never happening lol you dumbass.

>being Aussie
>have to only play with other Aussies

I imagine that is what hell is like

/d2g/ needs flags so I can filter caneater petrol huffer posts like yours

>have to only play with other aussies

man you americans just dont stop with your dumbass assumptions huh? That's why you're assumptive republican nominee is a cuck.

Australia is where, on the map nigger? Australasia. Years ago we were considered to be in South East Asia before the term Oceania was thought of. We get tonnes of philipino and indonesian cucks, not to mention chinese exchange students who only play dota and refuse to want to communicate with us, that's why there is a chinese guy posting on my profile, and also why they are saying i'm bilingual, im white, but noticed the economic globlization and the instricly linked australian and chinese economies and decided to study chinese, after living there for 12 months i can tell these japdogs to fuck off in their own language, feeelsgood man.

im muted for another 157 hours

>it's a huskar is overpowered this patch game
Nigger is the definition of snowball.

what hero does things for free?

>what hero does things for free?

Hotpocketeers?
Rubick

Literally AGGRESSIVELY useless and no one cares if one is in the game. Always dies alone and first.

/d2g/ needs steam api verification along with a Veeky Forums friendslist bot that reads your mmr and puts it next to your post

>our team is 4 tanks and gyro
>gyro gets killed by heat seeking missiles
>tanks get surrounded by creeps and just sit there unable to move
>our tanks actually die to creeps and sniper
god fucking dammit get your shit together team
can't believe we lost to fucking erdogan

>weekend battlecup starts today
>just want to have fun with friends regardless of whether i win or lose
>people start bitching and excluding people and forming secret teams and what not like teenage girls
i'm not even going to bother actually

is that mom slardar?

overwatch

Icefrog has tasked you with creating a lategame upgrade for one of these items in 6.89:
>Desolator
>Mask of Madness
>Rod of Atos
>Veil of Discord
>Solar Crest

Choose wisely, one and only one of these items will get the upgrade to be worthwhile in a 6 slotted setup

I'm going to play 150 games of Ursa and you can't stop me.

we dont care ursa is fun

>Win game
>Struggle, usually won by the skin of my teeth
>Lose game
>It's because my team mates don't push a single objective and actively decide to farm in places where I don't have vision just so they can feed LC for the 10th time in a row and pop 'we need wards' out at the enemy's t2.

Games rigged guys. not even memeing.

Your cubs will be made into rugs

what the FUCK is with all of the subhumans playing lately

like it was always kinda bad

but now it's LITERALLY 90% of games

rod of atos

gives truestrike

then remove mkb desu

guys what do you think about rod of atos on clockwerk? infinite hp so no death, infinite mana so always spells, and people can't walk away from ur Q.

I build it every game on clockwerk its really good.

>first second of seeing image
I saw a mother offering her little child under the asses of two hairy men, one was teabagging her face.

When my brain processed the image, those three cheeks I saw where that mans shoulders and bald stubbly head. Still gross.

>Rod of Atos + Desolator + Recipe
>Total cost: 8700

>some shit stats
>Active: Killer Pierce
>Sets your's and target enemy's armor to 0 for the next 4 attacks taken, or 7 seconds, whichever comes first
>comes after +armor but before -armor

Mask of Madness

Upgrade
>gives 100% lifesteal
>maximum attack speed

Recipe
>mask of madness
>Reaver
>Hyper Stone

Thought's?

Shit forgot to add max attack speed is only in berserk mode same cool down as MOM

The only good games i ever had were all in low prio.

>spend 6.8k gold
>get max attackspeed

I don't think that's very balanced, user-bakasan.

Sange&Yasha + Veil of Discord
Gives higher chance to maim for ranged heroes, maim also reduces magic resistance and using mana deals damage similarly to nether ward. Retains veil's active.

fine then only lasts 6 seconds and has a 50 sec cooldown.

What if Ck's illusions could use his abilities? (they gain spell charges that are shared between them)

would be unbelievably broken on PA
>makes her bulky
>maxes attack speed so you're shitting out crits
>use bkb with it and you can't be cced by most things and you can 1v1 anyone with absolute ease, even more so than now

>activate blademail
>PA disintegrates

>que some 1v1's because I might not have time for full game
>only meet cheese faggots like bane rushing hood pickers or russians leaving if i dont agree to 1v1 sf them
im actually not mad, its sort of entertaining

this is reasonable in any situation though, blademail wouldn't specifically counter pa with that mom upgrade, it counters her all the time. just gives her everything she wants

is anyone making a UK team for this battle cup shit?

3k = 3,000.

Fine then i reworked it
Mask of Madness

Upgrade
>Lifesteal 35%
>+30 strength
>Berserk mode:max attack speed and 100% lifesteal
>BUTT all of your abilities are silenced while Berserk is active
50 second cooldown
lasts 10 seconds

Recipe(the same)
>mask of madness
>Reaver
>Hyper Stone

this way Pa can't blink strike while it's active

Uk? team?

Are you asking what those words mean or making fun of our incredibly stupid recent events?

>UK team

Doesn't matter where on ir what game including divegrass, guaranteed last place finish

you are shit at dota 2

3k = 3000-3999
retard

wow you are only 3k user? that is only the top third of dota players, you suck XD

You best believe in Aussie power hour

You are in it

>11million players
wow only 3.5 million

>recognize webm instantly
>see the nickname

HES HERE

he's been shitposting here for ages user

Mask of Madness + Armlet
toggleable active
gains 50% lifesteal, 40 strength, 200% attack speed 50% movespeed but lose 75 hp/s

Puck Aghs upgrades idea?

doesn't scale and it's 1100 gold off of just getting an aghs which is way better.

you also need other items such as blademail force staff potentially even BKB or a glimmer depending on the enemy team's comp.

Makes her not shit.

ive saved some of the webms

we are both

>her

The year is 2027. All of dota2 has finally seen the light of the cabal. There are no lanes anymore. Melee and Ranged Creeps do not spawn. There is only one giant jungle across the map.

Heros do not do battle head to head like raw savages. They mathematically optimize every single part of their gameplay and build and are rated by judges on style and contrarianism. The judge panel is known as the "gulag", for reasons which have been lost in the sands of time, along with the TI4 afterparty.

The victor takes the spoils of war by creating high quality webm's of the fruit of his superior mental skill and effort

>The year is 2027. All of dota2 has finally seen the light of the cabal. There are no lanes anymore. Melee and Ranged Creeps do not spawn. There is only one giant jungle across the map.

With iron talon, we are already well on our way. 2027 is too conservative an estimate

guess the anti-pubstomper dotards!

THE YEAR IS 2022
THE DARKNESS HAS SET UPON THE LAND AND ALL DOTA PLAYERS HAVE FORSAKEN THE WAY OF THE CALIPHATE_IRAQ

Supports no longer exist. The jungle has been removed from the game, and all five players are distributed a ration of exactly equal portions of farm from the socialist matchmaking that ensures no toxic, aberrant or non-meta gameplay is ever allowed to emerge.

Each week professional games are streamed on twitch, hitbox, ingame client, espn, csnbc, bbc and netflix. Each week the list of builds is refreshed to enforce which items and skill orders are allowed on every hero, but the list is always exactly the same as the meta, beyond stagnant, is set in stone and never develops. Instead of all-pick and all-random modes in matchmaking, the only ten heroes allowed each game are the top ten meta picks which were designated long ago by the professional orthodoxy. Rather than playing the laning stage or exploring possible outcomes, each player fills in the blanks and simulates the latest pro game in a play-by-play, similar to taking over a replay.

League of Legends and Dota 2 have been merged into a single game, with the tribunal system expanded by the new world order government to detect thoughtcrime and weed out original and/or subversive thinking from the populace. All colors have been repainted over with a drab gray, and the regimented day schedule of sleep, work, consume is organized into predetermined and identical timings for each citizen. Voting, criticism and science are unnecessary and outlawed as society has determined there is no need for change.

The last free bald eagle living outside of captivity, named "Innovation" by a now-liquidated underground group of dissidents, was today shot and incinerated by orthodoxy bot-3143 during a routine compliance enforcement mission. It was said to have shed a solitary tear, the last remnant of an old uncivilized time of barbarians who lived without rule and order.

kek, both are wrong and also shit heroes

HELM OF THE DOMINATOR IS LITERALLY A BETTER MIDAS

Let's quantify the benefits midas gives you:
Assume you midas a large camp creep every time it is off cooldown. You gain 190 gold and 2.5x the XP, at the cost of the original bounty and XP. This comes to a net gain of 111.4 gold per use and 178.5 XP per use.
Net GPM Gain: 60.76
Net XPM Gain: 107.1

Let's quantify the benefits helm gives you:
1) Assume you stack the ancients each time.
Each ancient stack is worth an average of 264.3 Gold and 355 XP.
Net GPM Gain: 264.3
Net XPM Gain: 355

2) Assume you stack the large camp
Each large camp stack is worth an average of 124 Gold and 200.2 XP
Net GPM Gain: 124
Net XPM Gain: 200.2

What are the other benefits of the Helm of the Dominator?
1) It is more flexible, as you can use it to get jungle creeps for pushing, ganking, or scouting
2) It builds into a lategame item, which is good if you intend to farm
3) You can use it to give the gold and xp to anyone you want on your team, or to share
4) It is 200 gold cheaper so you can get it almost a minute earlier
5) It can be bought entirely at the side shop so your mid can use the courier to bottle crow
6) It still works while you're dead
7) The lifesteal helps you take an earlier rosh on some heroes
8) The lifesteal also gives you sustain for jungling
9) With the 6.82 update, you now get bonus HP for your creep

What are the other benefits of midas?
1) You don't have to pay attention to use it
2) If you're too lazy to defend your stacks you will be fine
3) ?????????

Midas Winrate (6.82c): 42.57%
HOTD Winrate (6.82c): 50.97%

Why does a cheaper item have a better winrate? Because it isn't complete shit. If you want to farm, buy your goddamn Helm of the Dominator.

DON'T BUY MIDAS

A Swedish animeloving homosexual /pol/-visiting Veeky Forums poster was making a guide based on SingSing, known SoF apologist.

"Before you read the guide, you must get on your knees and worship SingSing and accept that SoF/bollas are the highest DPS combo that the world has ever known, even greater than 6.79 Kaolin!"

At this moment, a brave, American, 8000 MMR champion who had played 1500 games of Xin and understood the necessity of regionlocking and fully supported all reports made by United States players posted a picture of a scoreboard.

"Who won this game, pinhead?"

The arrogant poster smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied "Whoever had Ember Spirit, you stupid American"

"Wrong. There was no Ember Spirit on either team. If SoF/bolas, as you say, is viable... then he should have won anyway"

The poster was visibly shaken, and dropped his laptop and copy of the Naruto DVD set. He stormed out of the room crying those Peruvian crocodile tears. The same tears shitters cry for the "trench" (who today play in such luxury that most have couriers) when they jealously try to claw respect from the deserving pubstompers. There is no doubt that at this point our poster, Sigbjörn Santiago, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a useless sub 50% WR shitter. He wished so much that he had flameguard to protect himself, but he himself had refused to skill it!

The anonymous users applauded and all maxed flameguard that day and accepted clan_iraq as their lord and savior. A Greevil named "Magnus > Void" flew into the room and perched atop the Na'Vi Flag and shed a tear on the keyboard. The Russian national anthem was read several times, and Icefrog himself showed up and buffed Bloodseeker.

The poster lost his credibility and was VAC banned the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was doomed to play Heroes of the Storm for all eternity.

>that guy that usually wakes up and just posts reddit front page pasta is now posting pasta from 2013

Redditspy copypaste bro, what is going on?

troll warlord. nextttttttttt

Your hard carry need to stack the ancient creeps and farm them
You get midas so you can get more xp and gold out of large camps

Some FAQs about iraqianism

>Who is clan_iraq?
Virtually all scholars agree a historical clan_iraq existed, as evidenced by his many playdota posts as well as recorded dotabuffs, including high profile games where he squared off against some of his bigger rivals (such as dotabuff.com/matches/160334439 )

however where acolytes and atheists diverge on the issue is the existence of a metaphorical clan_iraq, an entity which in geneal motivates, encourages, and supports all innovative and novel builds and theorycrafting, and to whom such things may be ascribed.

>What are acolytes
Acolytes are believers and subscribers to the central tenants and philosophy of clan_iraq

>What do acolytes believe about MMR grinding?
Such behavior is a trap of wordly desires. It is nothing more than empty hedonism and subservience to the rigid shakles of the meta. MMR Addicts get a cheap high the first few times, but quickly develop a tolerance to it, and require higher and higher doses of MMR and MMR Shitposting to get the same "high"

>What do acolytes persue instead?
Acolytes believe the "The Pen Is Mighter Than The Sword". Dota2 is a video game, meaning it exists for your own entertainment and nothing more.

It is better to innovate, create novel builds, and have fun, than to play the same thing over and over

>How does this "jive" with Veeky Forums?
Veeky Forums is built around anonymous culture, contrarianism, and optimal mathematically defined efficiency and superiority, three key tenants to iraqianism.

we are all clan_iraq, and we always seek new ways to forge the meta and point out quantifiably bad and suboptimal builds, tactics, and strategies.

this dotamon is a support, and also a hard carry

neither of these game losing heroes will suffice

a-are you goys playing battlecup?

There is no objective reason to not have a surrender at 20 option in 2016.

i can't i have no friends on steam that play dota

>motherly coo

BE GONE.

THE TRUEST TEST OF A MAN'S SKILL IS SMURF ACCOUNTS AND CONTRARIAN BUILDS

You can literally surrender at minute 0 and play with fellow surrenderbros.
