One more day and esports return.

IN WHAT WAY DOES OD COUNTER MORPHLING?
Also all of you capitalist pigs WILL be executed on the day of the Revolution.

Is this the gay edition?

Why is life so shit?

Burst damage, and you have to remember that all INT steal is nerfing his morph abilities.

too bad theres no downvoting on Veeky Forums

I ate too much and now I feel sick.

Which female dota 2 heroines love each other?

Templar assassin?

>Morph attribute has a 1s delay before it starts changing attributes, afte that it costs 40 mana per second (increased from 30)

morph fixed phampais

Also increase hybrid duration and adaptive projectile speed when str is highest

>chinese honeypot lan

whens real esports start

did Trump win the debate?

Well right now /pol/ are conspiring to rig polls so I'd go with "no"

orb drains mana
nuke removes mana
morph is weak to manadrain similarily to how medusa is weak

...

the polls are already rigged in Hillarys favor, counterrigging is making it balanced desu

I'd worship Soe's pink asshole and feet wtf is wrong with me

I just wanted to play some Dotes and drink booze but it's midnight and I have to work tomorrow

Wat do?

Why would Hillary want to rig the election if she already winning?

Isn't that counterproductive since if the polls are tight then wouldn't moderates and liberals (particularly Bernouts) be less likely to feel secure in placing third party votes and more likely to vote for Hillary to spite Trump. Whereas if the polls are heavily Hillary favored then some liberals may feel overconfident in an assured victory and throw votes to third party candidates or not bother voting at all.

because she's not?

So you're aiming to make the polls Trump favored in the interest to insight liberal and minority panic so they'll be more likely to vote?

Is this a meme?

But that implies the Trump is, in which case /pol/ wouldn't be shitting the bed trying to rig polls

What is a low effort hero that can be played with 250 ping?

treant

Yeah but I don't understand why. Is it some sort of groupthink?

Surely Hillary having a big lead would give third party candidates more draw vs. Hillary since Trump voters aren't going to be voting third party if Trump is very behind.

But especially in battleground states which are very close, where if a third party candidate took a portion of would-be Hillary voters, which is most likely because most third party candidates are socially liberal which puts them in more direct competition with Hillary's voterbase.

That could feasibly make a difference in states like Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania.

Good taste

Ignore the 2/10 short hair neckbeards

Is playing past midnight basically the behavior score killer?

Only if you're not on Chinese or SEA servers, so yeah.

Dude it's /pol/ what do you expect

>people don't realise anime is japanese propaganda to make others defect to nippon land

So then they have a load of disappointed foreigners shitting up Shibuya? Then what?

someone post that hot underlord pasta

>defect to nippon land
Why go to a place FULL of japs when I can literally jerk off to 2d in the comfort of my own, western, civilised country?

I've been watching anime for years and I know enough about Japan to not want to live there.

If I ever did visit it wouldn't be to see the cities either, they have some nice forested areas, and Hokkaido's natural hot springs might be cool too. I've only been to the natural hot springs in Colorado.

guys im literally precumming help me out

literally who is this YF team?

my neighbour

you say you wanna worship her feet, do you got pics of her feet?

God shit looks like Anita Sarkeesian only with more Daddy issues.

Ten paces at dawn motherfucker there's bullying Soe and then there's going too far and you just did it.

Does not paying taxes makes you smart? Or just a criminal?

Help me with this one guys.

Does dodging games make you smart? Or just a criminal?

system is designed to be abused, so yea it's smart to take advantage of it.

Generally it's smarter to ask what is ethical instead of what is legal when in the public eye.

People ignorant of the law won't know whether or not something is legal, but everyone has their own individual ethical code which allows them to pass simple judgments for themselves without having to be told by the media, because most people are too lazy or inept to do their own research especially when it comes to legal things.

Smart. 90% of your taxes go directly to sociopathic aristocrats and birth control.

imagine you're infront of millions of people and you said the equivalent of "I'm stealing money from you by not paying my taxes, but it's okay cause thats legal".

How do you think the audience is going to respond?

it makes you smart
ADMITTING IT IN FRONT OF MILLIONS OF VIEWERS HOWEVER

How To Fix Pugna for Dota 2 Version 6.89:

- Nether Ward swaps places with Life Drain and is now Pugna's Ultimate Ability

- Getting Aghs now upgrades Nether Ward instead of Life Drain

NETHER WARD:

- All current effects of and interactions with Nether Ward stay as is.

- When an enemy unit casts a spell within the AOE of the ward, the ward creates a Life Drain link connected to that unit based on the current level of Life Drain. The health drained is funneled directly to Pugna, and if Pugna's HP is full, it restores his mana as normal. Each time an enemy casts a new spell, the link duration is refreshed.

- AGHANIM'S UPGRADE: If an enemy unit enters the AOE of the ward, they instantly become ethereal. If an enemy leaves the AOE or gets within 150 range of the ward, they instantly become normal again. The ethereal effect is based on all the effects of the current level of Decrepify.

BAM

VIABLE

>teammate picks Juggernaut
>does LITERALLY NOTHING but idly farm and get ganked in lane, acts exactly like he has no idea what is going on
>randomly presses ult at the least useful times
>is unaware that his keyboard as an W key
>costs everyone else the match with his stupid battlefury deso aghs zero stat item build

>this happens twice in a row

who wants to coach a 1.7k sea monkey?

Just do the sir action slacks guide

Does having sex make you bad at dota?

How about switching his ult with the ward? I mean, you can use a tweaked, maybe even modified version of his drain/give HP as a normally skill, and an improved version of his ward as an ultimate.

>tl;dr: pugna's ward is now his ulti. HP drain a normal skill

all that bit about mana drain, also morph goes high armor-low health and od does pure dmg

>does having sex makes you bad at dota?

Do you remember that little chink called Ferrari_something? He was among the best mid players the world has ever fucking seen until early 2014.

What happened? He got his first gf.

Do you remember that chinknadian college drop up animeNEET called eternalenvy? He was one of the best core players until late 2015, what happened? That chinese translator started sucking his dick.

Now you tell me, does sex makes you good or bad at dota?

>team of 4 right clickers and pugna
>enemy just has to jump into neatherward to be immune to 4/5 of enemy team
>they nonchalantly TP away

you mean the enchantress switchyschwie?

>He was one of the best core players until late 2015

How many times do you have to get bricked in the head to believe this. I need to know for research.

Well, you work on him from there, I didn't say that precise change would make him balanced.

The frog has tried to make him viable with arithmetic modificacions since a long time ago. Its not working.

C'mon. You might hate the guy, but he was arguably one of the best core players in the west. Without any doubt among the 20 best cores of the world for a long period of time.

I think my point still remains...

He is so inconsistent as a player that calling him the best core, let alone the best carry is ridiculous.

now that /pol/ shitposting is over
what does /d2g/ think of pikachama aka Alice
6.4k mmr japanese/korean girl

steamcommunity.com/id/PochaPocha/
dotabuff.com/players/87440120
youtube.com/watch?v=YkzHH6XP91w

she's been playing USE lately so i guess she moved to the US?

Consistency is a characteristic influenced by a lot of factors, both in game as external.

Game mechanics on the other hand...

EE was a little bit emotion driven? Yeah, but also mechanically flawless.

Or just have Aghs make the wards invincible like Stone Remnants.

Also your pic is too serious, I'll take my cheeky little skellyman thank you very much.

tfw 44 flesh heap at 44 minutes

I think she should go pro ;^)

>Yeah, but also mechanically flawless.
I'm a jacky mao fanboy but you're giving him way too much credit. He's not even in the top 10 players in terms of mechanical control.

>I'll take my cheeky little skellyman thank you very much.
same =}

>He's not even in the top 10 players in terms of mechanical control.
Right now? We agree. He was though.

>No necromancer hero

uh

>hero

>23 hours until real esports are back
I cant sleep

>tfw you will never have a full team of skeleton heroes

why live

Do you have any notable >6k players in the thread?

Ambassador from currently dead imageboard

im half way to 6k mmr does that count

PSG comes to mind

Yes
Are you attentionwhring here with your post game screenshots and probably twitch?

The top 5 Dota heroes in bed:
>Earthshaker
>Riki
>Elder Titan
>Winter Wyvern
>Outworld Devourer

>>Elder Titan

#1 by a wide margin

>calm, passionate demeanor
>soothing deep-bass voice
>bulky build that you can bury yourself in

you know he would be a sweetheart but ravage your ass in bed

w-what happens if he astral spirits?

spitroasting

>all these fags ignoring how Luna or qop would destroy your pelvis in the sack

what do I think of her?
well duh, absolutely nothing of course, seeing as I've literally never heard of her before
oh, or are you implying that we should talk about her because shes a grill ^_^?
don't you have a russian camwhore to donate to?

>Try to play some Mario
>This shit happens
Ha ha Nintendo is easy guys.
Before you respond, there is no option to block or dodge. This is not a storyline death, it is actually a mandatory boss instantly killing Mario.

literally 50 good boy points away from it

Did you even read the post you were replying to?

That's exactly what he changed

>Over 300 damage to a character with 150 max HP
Jesus christ that's brutal.

>last 100 games with Tinker on either team
>he was on the losing team in 87 of them

It is a gradual evolution in item builds of course. From dagon to blink, to aghs/GG but the end result is always the same.

What the FUCK do you do when someone picks this fucking shit hero?

No, I didn't.

holy fuck, it's the same fucking thing and I swear I didn't read pass pugna change

This is not the first time I suggest this change though, perhaps he copied me?

What is your go to support if you have to go hard 5?

Silencer or Warlock. Depending the other picks of course.

If he's on your team: gg

If he's on the other team: FREE FARM BRUH

Tinker is the only hero in the game that can quite easily lose a game with a 30k networth lead.

>teammate wants to go tinker mid
>enemy team picks him first
>win

feels good man

>who is NP

Checks out. Not sure what you do.

>tfw it's been nearly a week since Waga streamed.
He's coming back r-right?

>ember
>enchantress
>kotl
>mirana
