If underlord needs to just not die and get attack speed from somewhere, can't you pair him with necrophos and troll warlord?

lose mmr or fap?

>be 3k
>be ok at the game
>play on sea only

I fap after a loss streak to relieve my anger.

Memes?!?

Played Underlord today in my first match after the patch. My conclusion was that i never want to play against this hero. I'm fairly sure that i'd have an aneurysm if i did.

stop being a retard
rip off a dota2 gamepedia page for the aspect and slap some stupid icons onto the skills
try to make skill descriptions as small as possible
and maybe someone is going to read your shitpost, because i sure didn't

>Dota2

Not in 2k, the only people with KDA>4 there are the ones that prolong won games

>wahh reading is hard I need pictures!
I knew /d2g/ was dumb but c'mon man.

Literally good Abaddon and Omni.

played 5 games in the new patch so far, all had a pit lord
all of them also ended in less than 30 minutes

So what non honeypot did EG win last season ?

you literally can't read part of Q

If she's not a nun I'll fucking kill you

Post your shame (≤ 33.3%)

I don't understand why lone druid exists as a hero in dota, he is straight up from a different game, a hero that doesn't do anything and instead relies on a pet to do it. I hate that everquest shit. Have never once voluntarily picked him and the only game I have with him in my history is an all-random game that was no stats recorded.

TA is because I never played/learned her until she was already in the dumpster.

slardar is the one I'm really ashamed of because a lot of those games are in recent patches where he's good. I always stick around trying to hit people, recently realized you're just supposed to run away after crushing most of the time

>Abbadons W
>KotL D (LUL)
>Old treant passive
>somg gay little ill heal who ever i've q'd bullshit

TI6 (third)

There should be a fish hero that interacts with the river. Stealth and movespeed when in the river, can teleport to any part of the river, and some other gimmicky shit

>spawns in the river

Do you think there's any chance of them patching out how underlord interacts with replicate/reflection/disruption/wall of replica? Because there are a lot of memehating fucks out there who will get butthurt about losing to memes.

Nah his abilities should do different things depending on whether he is on land or water.

>slardar

don't manfight until you have a bracer or teammates
learn how to toggle
try to drop the ult first before you go in
Q is a panic button

Yeah that's cause I had to zoom out to fit the screenshot. At 100% zoom it's fully readable but it's just side notes.

I was thinking she'd be robed like Omni but with less armor. Battle nun?

It's really nothing like Aphotic Shield, I designed it specifically to only be superficially similar.
It doesn't purge or deal any damage, and it's a bit stronger of a shield.

KotL's blinding light was a design inspiration. You can make use of it earlier and it doesn't rely on his ult being up, but it's not as long lasting or as strong a blind. I was thinking about replacing Spark with an ability that disarms and slows, but that would change her from a defensive hero to an offensive hero with defensive abilities and that's conflicting design.

Also I didn't realize Treant used to have a passive. How long ago are we talking about that being his passive?

Expect a hotfix tomorrow.

Probably any minute now.

what if there was a hero right

and like he was like the rest of the heroes with spells and shit

but

what if

he was a robot

What do you do in this situation?

Tfw you jungle underload and get a 10 minute mek

New favorite jungler next to my forcestaff bloodcyka

How much damage does hurricane pike rupture do?

Hey I know that one , that's the one where windrunner gave Andy a blink dagger

Quick question.

It was supposed we would get a fuckton of rewards if the price pool topped the last one

afaik that already happen, where is my free shit? just reinstalled the game after 1 month and only got like 15 useless player cards shit

In a week

HAHA NO SUCH THING AS FREE LUNCH GOY

yeah like the chance to win super rare shit right?

Hurricane Pike only pushes an enemy back 450 while Force Staff pushes them forward 600.

It does like 180 I think? You rush a forcestaff for the ulititly tho.

forcestaff, euls, dagger is the only way to play bloodcyka this patch desu

I WANT TO MARRY PUGNA-CHAN

>forgetting dagon
Come on man.

makes sense, ty

>no Aghs
Disappointed in you guys

>'''''''''''''rare'''''''''''''' Dota2 items

See

protip

sell the chests if they're marketable

chances are if you open them you'll just get some shitty set

Kek

So now that the dust has been settled
Whats your opinion on Pit lord?

Memes/10 desu lad

How'd you build him to pull that off?

So is dota dead?

>remove a major to allow more 3rd party tournaments
>not a single one scheduled
>organizing a tournament takes at least 6 months

all is left for the next 6 months are a major and the kikebowl 6

Actually surprisingly good as an aura carrier.
Expectably poor as a damage carry.
Unexpectantly decent firestorm damage.

i know the game i do shit like check the other players mana pool theres nothing i dont do you have to understand i've been playing video games for almost 30 years every skill that exists in dota is natural to me

>get out of bed to prepare for class
>phone starts beeping
>'happy birthday user!'
>feel nothing but slightly annoyed
what did I mean??
Didn't really make me think

A huge ass cross in the back would look awesome tbqh

NERD just kidding, holy fuck 30yr my butthole

post outdated memes

have you not read this excellent conversation?

pastebin.com/vzfuE6GF

reminder that only true patricians build mek on viper.

Considered the limited availability of MUH RARE items, if I plan on opening my chests it's better to wait so that retards open all the shit and that way my chances of opening a good item increase, right?

I play Dota 2 because I'm a foot fetishist

When I saw the first screenshots of dota 2 with Lina in them. I instantly knew it was my type of game. I used to play League of Legends, but didn't like it very much because of the lack of barefoot female champions there. Janna looked like she could be my type of champion, but unfortunately she has so ugly long feet it isn't even funny. Then there was Riven, but her sandals ruined any appeal for me.

Dota 2, on the other hand, Immediately drew my attention as the game that put a lot of detail into the things I like.

My favourite hero in dota 2 is obviously Lina. Her appearance, clothes and, most imprtantly, her feet are perfect. I play Lina very often, but I must admit I sometimes lose focus in early game when I get a ***** after looking at her feet on the selection screen after I pick her.

My second favourite hero is Mirana, if Lina's feet ignite my desire, Mirana's soft and pleasant looking toes warm my heart and give feeling of innocence and tenderness. I also like how Mirana shoots her bow, tightening her legs around her mighty tiger. Sometimes it gives me a hard on.

I like Windrunner, but I have to say that her feet are not so good in comparison to my two favourites, but I fancy her anyway. It seems that Windrunner runs a lot so her feet must be very tough on the soles. She is still cool though.

I don't know if Death Prophets feet are good or not because I couldn't see them no matter how hard I tried to rotate her model.

Speaking of lost potential, I patiantly watied for Luna to be released, expecting her to be barefoot since she has a common theme with Mirana and my irish ex-girlfriend had pretty amazing feet. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the future dota 2 developments and I hope there will be more beutiful barefoot female heroes. Valve did an amazing job for people like me and I'm going to play and support this game however I can.

But Void always had some bullshit get our of jail pseudo blink skill. How do you die to Jugg spin?

MoonMeander is replacing MooDota

hardly an upgrade
tier 3 offlaner to a tier 2 offlaner

That shit used to cost 120 mana.

...

good utility hero that can transition into semi dps/tanky frontliner since he can farm so easily.
bit reliant on levels early on and has mana issues untill arcanes/soul ring comes into play.
very big lategame potential shenanigans with his ult.

>MoonMeander is replacing MooDota
>hardly an upgrade

Are you joking? You get all of Moo plus 8 extra letters for free, how is that "hardly an upgrade"?

>enemy pitlord builds radiance
>use disruption on him
>use his radiance to kill the big creep wave he has been making
>shadow demon now right clicking for 300 damage
>hit enemy with soul catcher
>450 DAMAGE RIGHTCLICK MOTHERFUCKER
>purge their shit so they cant run while I murder them with the most strongest INT support clicks ever

I am enjoying this bug

That was aggressive.

...

>mfw Merlini's listening to TRANCE AROUND THE WORLD
>WITH ABOVE AND BEYOND

...

>sven brushes his penis against your face
>+240 gold

thank god nobody says memedraft anymore

Merlini stream is so comfy. Watching him play carry is very relaxing, he has some cool and unconventional item builds.

This is still accurate.

>omni is an initiator

>blink in
>repel yourself
>Good luck hitting me with spells now enemy team
>they diffusal and stun you
>die
>blame team for not being ready when you went in

how much have you improved since?

Not gonna lie, I laughed a bit when I noticed Spurdotusk

>tfw this came true when 6.82 first hit

HOW TO FIX NECROPHOS:

Death Pulse buff:
>search radius increased from 475 to 550
>projectile speed increased from 400 to 800
>mana cost rescaled from 125/145/165/185 to 140 at all levels

Heartstopper Aura reworked and renamed to Heartstopper:
>targets a single enemy unit
>causes target to lose 2/2.5/3/3.5% of their current HP for 4 seconds
>the target cannot be healed or buffed during the duration
>pure damage, does not pierce magic immunity, can be dispelled
>90 mana cost, 12 second cooldown
>if target dies while under Heartstopper effect, Necrophos gains 5 stacks of Sadist

Sadist change:
>Health regen per stack increased from 1/2/3/6 to 2/4/6/8
>Mana regen per stack increased from 2/4/6/12 to 4/8/12/16
>Stack duration reduced from 6 to 3 seconds
>Hero kills now give 5 times the bonus instead of 10 (stacks with Heartstopper bonus)

Reaper's Scythe change:
>damage type changed from magical to pure (does not pierce magic immunity)
>no longer increases respawn time

Aghanims change:
>increases enemy respawn time by 10/20/30 seconds
>enemy hero is unable to buyback for the first 10/20/30 seconds of death, but can buyback after
>no longer reduces mana cost or cooldown
>increases cast range to 900

In dota probably positively
>in life, negatively

...

I love ogre's expressions in this, pretty much exactly how I feel during a good ogre game.

what happened in life

man, this one is really outdated

when was this made, the patch after TI3 when CM was good and everyone bought midas on every hero?

Earthshaker is difficult tier at best, Ursa is a bit too high and Punga could honestly be put in hard tier, other than that this is pretty agreeable.

I realized I'm probably just as easily baited

>TI6 babbies are starting to appear

>Witch Doctor the same difficulty as Tinker

Still got outdated portraits, missing a bunch of heroes, and lists a few heroes in meta roles that they are less common in now, so it is technically outdated. Not that bad though.

...

more of these pls

Art inspires emotion whether it's elation or contempt plebeian

Hey!
TI5 thank you very much

...

>tfw silencer aghs still hasn't been reworked since the curse change

>red
fuck
