>Nyx on my team.
>Against an AM.
>Ignores Mana boots for quick Dagon rush.
Honestly fuck this game and the morons that play it.

THIS IS BASIC DOTA, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS.

Reminder QoP has the juiciest, most luscious ass in all of Dota

What helps you forget that dota 2 is an awful game that will never get better? It feels like new patches might be the best thing for it.

what's the best cosmetics combo for qop?

>nyx buys dagon only to kill the enemy position 1
love this meme

adelaide?

GUYS

ISN'T FISSURE SUPPOSED TO BLOCK CREEPS

THEY JUST WALK AROUND IT NOW

THIS IS A BUG RIGHT

...

adelaide

Whos that pokemon???

hint: viable, reportable

>Nyx
>Killing an AM.
Uh 2k?

Imagine being the designer modeling that ass, I'd just keep cumming and never finish my job and get fired.

it's drow ranger
you cant fool me

Do you guys have any tips for playing Chen? I want to learn how to play the hero.

>valve employee being fired for lazyness
nah you'd be fine

rubick!

maestro the tempo controller

wrong

good guess

>tfw no dota 2 gf

I was actually going to say earthshaker instead of maestro

what dota 2 team is the equivalent of the SEC

Maestro, the Tempo Controller
Dire Melee Intelligence Hero

Control Tempo
Active
>Speeds up all allies and slows down all enemies near the Maestro, with an effect building up over time. The more time units spend near Maestro, the bigger the bonus, reaching maximum effect after 8 seconds. Lasts 16 seconds, costs 115 mana, 40 cooldown
>Up to +/- 16/24/32/40% attack and 8/12/16/20% movement speed to all units, including self
>Conducted enemy units have their slow reversed to a speed up

Crescendo
Passive with Active subskill
>Every attack by Maestro builds up a bigger and bigger power charge passively, increasing Maestros attack speed with every hit. When activated, releases the power as a burst, damaging and stunning enemies, with stun, damage and aoe proportional to the number of charges
>+2/4/6/8% attack speed per strike, maximum 20/40/60/80%, releases as up to 300 damage and 2 second stun in 300 AoE. 60 mana cost to release
>Conducted enemies gain this skill and carry over Maestro's stored charge

Dal Segno
Active
>Forces all enemy units in an AoE to repeat their movements. If any unit in the AoE moves more than 600 distance, it is forced back to its original location.
>Lasts 4/6/8/10 seconds and has 20/18/16/14 cooldown, 400 AoE and 90 mana cost

Conduct
Ultimate: Channeling
>Maestro becomes becomes invulnerable and immobile, gaining control of target enemy hero. Maestro gets full control of that hero's skills and attacks and items, but the hero cannot move more than 1200 range from maestro and any damage taken by that hero is instead suffered by maestro (the enemy is temporarily changes teams and becomes an ally under your control). Maestro dies if he receives fatal damage in this time and the effect ends, and once it ends (normally or duration up), the enemy has its cooldowns and mana reset to what they were when the ability started
>4/5/6 duration, 110 cooldown and 175 mana cost, 200 cast range

What's a win condition

no artour stream today?
It was really enjoyable

...

exodia dick lord of your ass

heh tough luck kiddo, looks like you'll never find the heart of the cards

>That feel when you've lost all interest in playing this last week

>ee-sami interview
>literally can't understand a word he is saying
>no subtitles

Was he born in Cucknada ?
why does he speak like a guy who learned english 2 weeks ago

Why aren't you guys watching our guy?

HOW TO FIX SKELETON KING

>Wraithfire blast cost to 100 mana
>Wraithfire blast slow to 20/35/50/65%

i have the same problem, i can understand kelly fine and winter and lumi but i can't understand half of what EE says

he just mumbles something really fast and ends with "like fucking whatever and shit"

He learned English from watching sesame street.

You mean Wraith King? Why buff him when he's already super strong and easy?

imagine envy pronounced about as "aboot"

Shut your whore dirty mouth

because they speak chinese or french in canada now

...

Dota = Hillary (the thinking man's choice, totally free, diverse community)
LoL = Trump (crude, lowbrow, only cares about money)

Right?

suck my big fat cock you whore

>Zai's music
What the fuck am I listening to

cant think of a more boring stream than zais tbqh

this is why you don't do drugs kids

Buckle up, kiddo

b-but its le "objectively better music for advanced taste"

Let's see you post your music preferences doturd

Come on guys, doesn't anybody here play Chen?

Wind lace

What item? Wind Lace?

what does the purple rune do

youtube.com/watch?v=qrP4oey2_ys

reminder this was the peak of dota, of /d2g/ and esports

...

>gameshitting

Fuck off back to /lolg/.

gives you an erection

do ppl still play tinker without aghs greaves

>Flyovers

>do ppl still play tinker

SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
Worst Anime ending ever.

Game design question: Does adding an upgrade for an item necessarily make the item better?

Yep

Yes
See vanguard

...

Vanguard isnt better though, its just build more often, and quite reluctantly 2bh. I'd rather have old abyssal back any day

you've got nothing on me doturd

youtube.com/watch?v=k85mRPqvMbE

>built more often
Yes that is what I meant by better, something you would consider more than the alternatives
Obviously the item itself isn't better since it's the same

so you gonna suck it or what?

What heroes have the problem of "the items they need don't exist"?

whats a doturd

HOW TO FIX NECROPHOS IN 6.89:

Heartstopper Aura:
>From 0.6/1.0/1.4/1.8% of max HP to 1.0/1.6.2.2/2.8% of current HP

Sadist:
>Remade entirely
>Whenever necrophos deals damage, he gains 8/12/16/20% of that damage as both life and mana spread out over 6 seconds. Effect is halved against creeps (4/6/8/10%)
>20/30/40/50% of all damage dealt to enemy heroes cannot be healed for 60 seconds.
>Includes all damage from spells, attacks, items, heartstopper aura.

Example:
>Necrophos hits an enemy with a dagon for 300 HP in damage
>Necrophos gains 10 hp/s regen and 10 mana/s regen for 6 seconds
>Enemy can't heal 150 from max HP for 60 seconds.

Necrolyte
Pugna
Chen

Tinker
Kunkka
Visage
Meepo
Bane

>That teamchat segment where we got to hear the players' comms
Why hasn't any other tournament since then done something like this?

The orgs realized that players are more than a little foul mouthed at times and they were worried that they might lose sponsors due to it.

What I think Necrophos needs is something to use his ridiculous mana and HP regen for. Maybe either heartstopper aura or sadist could convert a portion of necrophos overheal and overmana into damage.

a doturd is you

whats a (You)

how about

>death pulse cooldown from 8/7/6/5 to 7 at all levels
>casting death pulse now lowers the cooldown of death pulse by 15% for 30 seconds (stacks multiplicatively)

players don't want to do it anymore

its actually gives up so much information on how teams work

Blast Torch
600 gold
+5 Intelligence
Active: Emits a wave of heat in radius 900 around you, granting vision and dealing 50 damage to enemy units.

Replaces the recipe for shiva's guard.

Overpowered

What do they need.

We dota imba now.

man just remembering that time is amazing

>support alch
>7ckingmad getting btfo
>the underdog no one heard of dumpstering everyone with their somewhat insane picks
>2ez4rtz
>the weird as fuck midas meta

>get hand injury
>can't dota anymore at all
