You retards will argue about anything

lmao 3rd time's the charm

dead game desu

our girl is streaming

>his team falls for honeypot lans

bsj is streaming

Post YFW you're playing forever alone.

...

...

To base your point purely on damage as this graph does is fucking retarded, both have defensive properties too.

bsj is literally the living embodiment of d2g
how is he not our guy

What is the point of Lina when Lion literally does everything she does but better. On a shorter cooldown and for less mana?

Slut voice.

icefrog is a white beta
>He confirmed on his weibo (Chinese twitter) that his girlfriend is Chinese.
>He had several posts with pictures of Chinese food where he mentioned her cooking stuff for him.

>There are some times that Icefrog mentioned that he was learning Chinese or using translators to check his mandarin posts.

Its easy to find someone nice and friendly in these threads to play with!

wouldnt have it any other way

Bane is a fun support and FREE mmr

lina can mid, and farm reasonably well
lion can't

also lina does output more magic damage and has a pure damage option while lion does not

then how come I don't have anyone to play with after 4 years

She becomes a semi carry late game, he doesnt.
She can also carry games by herself, he doesn't
She's also a top tier waifu, he's just a little
But the thing is Lina is somewhat harder to play so many pros don't play her, because she's "not a safe pick".

Who made this meme? It's fresh

With aghs lion can put out more magic damage. Not only because of his shorter cooldowns but Lina is very mana inefficient. She can at best nuke two people in a fight before running out of mana. She needs buffs

>Lina is somewhat harder to play

lmao
i'm pretty sure they don't pick her because she's mediocre this patch, not because she's difficult to play

...

soul ring mana boots
she can get away with soul ring because superior move speed she can abuse positionning

Lina
>literally came from an anime
>has a vagina
>is small but she's a woman so its ok
>can float
>has a vagina
>pretty
Lion
>manlet
>buff manlet
>looks hideous
>always going back to hell for some reasons
>a manlet

Lina > Lion

lion can most definetely manage mid just fine, like how SD and bane straight up wrecks most mids 1v1.
but you're right in that their farming capasities are shit compared to lina.

??
What´s wrong with that. I dont want to grind party mmr. I need solo mmr and then maybe I will start with party mmr

new dota player here, played against hard bots 2 times as elder titan and won them easily, can i jump in ranked :^)

i agree that lion can 'manage' mid just fine in that he can prevent the opposing mid from gaining much ground, but the problem with lion middle is he's not able to do that much with his farm or the levels. lion doesn't need levels like storm or shadow fiend or qop or puck do. he can manage just fine at level 6 for 20 minutes and be an extremely effective hero. you want to give mid to heroes who can use it best, and lion isn't really one of those heroes. he's best as a support because he's designed that way.

Most players are dumber than bots so sure.

Rate my pitlord build
tranquils,soulring,radiance,healthbooster,hood/shivas,heart,skadi to replace soulring

actually yes

8/10 in 2kmmr

good luck with that SoF mana usage

didnt even read but its shit

Wait just one fucking minute
>Manlet
>Hideous
>Going to hell and back
Holy shit. Lion is fucking meatloaf confirmed

What's the best hero to play when you're morbidly depressed and want to die?

>tfw you're offlane SK and the last guy picks WK, buys Iron Talon, doesn't level stun and comes to your lane

Are we having the same meme discussion now?
Where were you when Lina was meta and lion still "did the same as lina but better"

arc warden is a nihilist

Wraith King, you can't die

my items were:
tranquil, soul ring, veil, euls, and half way through to refresher

Obviously Techies

refresher is a meme item never buy it, buy something useful like shivas guard

who has the worst autoattack

me

>latest dota hero makes TDKR reference biggest TV meme
>the hero before him makes Stirner references biggest LIT meme

What board will be represented next in the monkey king?

/pol/

something about chimping out then

I can already hear his death lines

>But I... dindu nuttin...
>But I was a gud boy...!

Drawing anthros is pretty hard holy shit man

And for last hitting:

>Gib sum dis.
>I need it for dem programs.

...

h-hey guys! remember me? can I play for your team? m-me carry

did you use all those items? Is dota your first game of this kind?
when i first started playing dota as my first moba i would try and avoid all but the core active items for a hero because it was just too much to keep track of.

Gulag, you already watched this? youtube.com/watch?v=x62dbSGkBBc&feature=youtu.be&t=9m6s

>She can at best nuke two people in a fight before running out of mana
In the current year of dota it's impossible to run out of mana with all the items and mana buffs every patch.

hahAHa! yeahH BrO let's JSUT buff ebvyerY HEro HAHAHA! ThaAt's THe DotaRds 2 WAY!! x

x FUCKING D

who

Have you ever played with Lina in your life or you are just pulling things out of your ass and overrating Lion that much?

carry what? water? yeah sure you can be our waterboy

rate my lina suggestion:

>changed standard ult to deal pure damage and make it lower, like it was done with qop ult

>Aghs: Adds bonus damage based on Lina's INT; Laguna Blade performs a purge on the target that lasts for 2 seconds

No character in particular if that's what your asking
It's just the anthro face viewed from the from or 3/4 is giving me some trouble
>DotA 2 General

>tumblertale

leave

gulagites, tell me why I cant stick to high skill

I play single draft exclusively, after many years this, choosing the right sentences for the chat wheel and trying to be less of a dick steadily improved my games, tho I can see on DB that even when I win a high skill game, the following 10 games will be normal skill, last game I played was high and I lost.

I'm at 56% winrate those last 3 months according to db again.

pls no memes

yes it is, i've watched and lurked the scene for like a year, i dont have amazing reaction times with like blinking or eulsing something and i forget to use items time to time

i cant micromanage for shit, so all illusion based heros are not my favourite

>high skill
lmao

play ranked retard

no I only like single draft

everything else is cancer

it's a graph back from ember's release when maxing sof with bolas was the build

I know that child, I've been here for fat longer than you. Don't quote me in your post.

correction its actually 62% winrate over these last 3 months according to dotabuff

LOOOL

you know single draft is the mode you have to play in low priority as your punishment? how can you like single draft

...

What is the No man's sky of Dotards 2?

Would you lick her armpits?

We talked about this in the previous thread.

...

just managed to get a friend stick to dota, he finally started liking it (he was a lolbabby)

i'm so happy i have a dota friend

...

Anime is not dota related

Well fuck me, I live in a murican time zone

...

...

NORMIEEEEEEEEEESSS GET OUOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

comfy jungle centaur build how

...

>yfw artour join OG
>n0brain + rtz

This video should be attached to psychology books to illustrate Dunning Kruger

Did artour stream?

2hu is not anime

...

>calibrate when ranked came out and get 3.2k
>drop to 2.5k
>make smurf
>go 30-1 in my first games
>all my games are still in normal bracket
>calibrate
>end up with 2.6k
>make new smurf
>2.5k

How do you get out of normal bracket /d2g/? I just want some games that resemble real Dota2.

it means you're still shit

I'm just bored and need to kill 20 minutes before I go do normie things

Also why the fuck is there so much DotaxTouhou artwork anyway

you can try playing the actual game instead of the unranked meme

...

where does arc reference stirner?
