1st for our boy!

first for wisp loli

putch when

I need suggestions to make Secret great again

Lay it on me

Current MMR distributions. Keep in mind that this only includes people who set their match data to public, so in reality the graph should be more skewed to the left

quit the team

First for Pit Lord

>that 4k spike.

Where did you find this?

Im gonna watch Trigun untill pitlord arrives, good luck in the shitposting olympics dotards

underlord x outworld
doggie style when?

dlf

People stop playing once they reach their goals

Look at 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k, they all have spikes

Keep in mind that people buy low MMR accounts on purpose to shit on the shitters so most games seem to be like that. Don't fall for the early calibration meme

yasp.co/distributions
There's a spike at every 1000 milestone for obvious reasons. People want "muh 1/2/3/4/5/6k" then stop playing solo ranked incase they lose it

Why does dota have so much gay shit

Is this cannonically the best hero to climb out of 2k MMR

Send him a request

>he's not watching fata play guitar on stream
wyd user

Who is the best hero and why is it Sniper?

Because our waifus are shit.

don't be ridiculous
sniper's strength was that he turned around ganks when someone saved him and you got dragged into chasing him under a tower
if you had a competent ganker and sniper was alone he was a free kill even in 6.81

no escape skills, no survival skills, no ways to turn around and manfight, no mobility, no healing, no whatever. If you were a bounty hunter and sniper was up his lane and you had enough damage to burst him down in 3 hits/nukes, he was dead, the end, no RE

the problem came when sniper wasn't alone, you tried to burst him and failed, you chased him, you get slowed by shrapnel, he turns around and peeps you, you try to jump on him uphill into his T3, you miss, he turns and ho ho haha

sniper had no way to survive ganks on his own

Does anyone here know of someone below 3k who bought 3k account?

I don't want to believe that people buy 3k accounts

>People are actually picking Shadow Demon in 2k mmr pubs

either that or they hide their mmr before it drops below a 1k marker

well even a 2k can use disruption on a stat heavy carry and a click them at the enemy base

That guy was insufferable, he basically couldn't stop giving out order and making bad calls. Typical TI6 watcher know-all

>generic boring women
>exotic and varied men

monkey see monkey do, post TI flavor

>Blink Sniper

That reminds me when I played with lower rated friends, I'd go Force/Blink/Skadi Sniper and just make the enemy super annoyed

lol can india not do anythng right?

They would have to set their match data to private but I've learnt not to underestimate people's vanity. I have a dota friend who used to constantly tell me I'm trash. When I overtook his MMR, he removed it from his profile and started talking about how little MMR means

>i-it's just a number!

blink dagger is an item with no skill ceiling
even when you're restricted by turning speed, anticipation skills let you dodge enemies if you predict when they're going to attack

>Learn the ways of the Russians, speak their language for a while, they might think you are one of them. Then maybe join their team, success might come and fighting for last drink of vodka will be your next objective. Do not give up, you have Dota tournament ahead of you. Then win TI1, but don't stop now, you have to go deeper. Spend 3 more years trying to solve the puzzle of russki power of motherland and then leave the team with full knowledge of understanding of strenght of ROSSIA and PROMISE URSELF THET YU WILL NEVER LOS TO RUS AND KNOW OF COLLAPSING STRONG EMPIRE OF RUSKILAND.
>thats basically what I did

...

I've got a friend who is 700ish MMR.
They do buy couriers and wards, you even get some people that pull creeps. Picks and builds are all over the place though, there is no coordination and the games are completely random.

Every game has some 2k smurf picking Slark. The team with more invis usually wins because no one can farm (I've seen AM's with battlefury that somehow managed to get under 100 cs in a 50 min game) and the team that has to buy more detection ends up with one or more underfarmed free loot pinatas.

lol has the most generic female characters in all of gaming and they got a lot of porn

no interest in pitlord

I wish valve would tell us exactly what time they plan on updating.

That's not funny

I just got served 0-day malware through an ad on Veeky Forums, it infected chrome, broke dns and changed my start page to some ukraine shit. I am 100% sure it was 0 day malware served through a Veeky Forums ad.

So was carry Veno.

Wc3 dota had some insanely weird builds.

TRIPLE SIX yeah you ol pussy ass cake ass punk ass trick ass sucka ass fuck ass lookin at my booty ass ky jelly packin ass nigga

TRE SEI QUATTRO OTTO CINQUE

...

I'm only 3k but my ranked games always feel insanely hard and I usually lose if I don't pick around my team.

All I want is to play some ranked dota without having to give 110% every game, I'd probably be ok in 2.5k but I don't want to throw games to get there.

If there was a 'lower my MMR by 1k' button I'd press it in a heartbeat. Since there isn't I'm grinding up a smurf.

stop having low behavior score

explain this meme

how about playing unranked

practice mid jugg
don't die in the first 10mins

it would be a better world I think if people commended as often as they reported.

What's the best ward in the game?

need to spend my steam dollarydoos

what does that mean?

it's a long standing tradition to psyche d2g noobs out with ogre magoo patch notes

if only there was some game mode free of the pressure of winning/losing mmr

Dumping my collection of free's to pass the time until Pitlord. I only have 5 so I could use any others if you have them

How do I early game Meepo?

My poof combo is pretty ok, my micro is acceptable for my MMR. But it's the laning phase that fails on me.

How do I not die 7 times before I get up my travels/aghs/whatever?

all the custom wards look like trash to me but I settled on the spring ward. looks the best.

get the ward with the smallest model and hitbox and pray it doesnt get noticed

dota2.gamepedia.com/Jumo

still quite fond of skywrath sentinel myself. stone seer is one dank little guy though.

...

I just came back from work, is it not happening yet?

I used to post this one like all the time but cunts never saved it and always used the worse version

>mfw

It's like 9k. It's not that my games are bad, they're just hard and often I NEED to pick a roamer or an initiator even though I'd rather just play mid.

I still like to play to win, unranked is a shitshow full of meme stacks.

move around the map with poof to avoid pressure
use your level 3 meepo to stack camps while you lane
have map awareness
meepo isn't that bad 1v1 in lane, just mind where their supports are and you should be fine

noice, saved

I'll admit some of these are extremely questionable, but they're definitely entertaining

Why is that moogle ward so expensive? Chocobo courier is only 2 dollars in comparison.

>play ranked
>lastpick some chill support like sd (played before he became fotm)
>lay back on ur chair and enjoy some good dotez
it really isn't so hard

do you have also one with Jakiro?

The stone statue or something, is the only one that does not look like a ward... Abbadon's comes as a far second.

That used to be Lina's, it was bugged for around a year and you couldn't directly target it, you had move with an attack command on the floor while there was no other targets between the ward and you... but it got fixed a long time ago, now all the wards are identical gameplay-wise.

what the fuuuuuuuck

a lot of these items that were sold with tickets are so rare because nobody bought the tickets..fuck if i'd have known..

This is literally the rarest ward in the game, it was a 1% drop chance in treasures that only Koreans got.

d2g, the gameshitter non-white containment general

there was a lina set from a ticket that went for like 30 dollars later

then valve added it to the store for like 5$ xDDD

>mfw someone in my local chat has 2 mmr
>one digit

heyy thas the truesight AS aura ward
