>PETER NO LONGER FIRST ON THE ESPORTS EARNINGS LIST SINCE BABAEV SLIPPED HIM THE DAGER
HOW FUCKING SALTY IS PPD?

HOW GODLY IS THE NA RIVALRY GOING TO BE WHEN PETER COMES BACK FOR REVENGE WITH FEAR AND GRANT RITSU AND IXMIKE

nth for doturd!

OG will win the Boston Major.

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land?
this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

>no boob window sweater cosmetics
I think we should have a boob window sweater holiday where all female characters and also sven get boob window sweaters

>BigBaddy BoostedFail winning anything again against real teams

no fucking chance. the only reason og was winning at MDL was because ana was able to carry bigfuckingretardhoneylans up until he choked.

boston is going to the chinks unless liquid turns out amazing (bulba thouhg) or misery can turn it up once more for AMURIKA

>arteezy 5000 viewers

yep dtoa is dead

>rtz keeps destroying teams, keeps getting invited to do it over and over

>universe and bulba are somehow still on teams

How

>Still being a chinksitter after EG stomps NB and LGD like nothing

Good god how deep does the EG hate go

>OP Omni pick.

newbee crushed eg in the upper bracket then kaka went full fucking retard in the finals. luckily eg won't get a second chance at boston, has post-sadboys EG won a tournament where they didn't come from the losers bracket?

Why the fuck did he pick Meepo when enemy 2 picks left?
Does he want to lose?

2 counterpicks are doable

if you cant play against counters as meepo dont even bother playing

>DOTA 2 double elimination tournaments suddenly turn to single eliminations when they get to Grand Finals

Literally why

>lose to terrible fucking Newbee in the upper bracket
>implying they'll have a chance against W I N G S G A M I N G

??????????

>the realization slowly sinks in that it's a bought account

this game is honestly suffering on par with like hvaing your whole family burn up in a big fire

Boston Major has got that comfy TI2-TI3 feel to it based on the venue.

im hype at fuck desu

fucking benaroya nostalgia here we come

fucking benaroya nostalgia here we come

>smaller place means better atmosphere.
fuck off.

go watch some fucking ti2 and ti3 vods and tell me the experience isn't more intimate and raw. i like the giant ti5/ti6 stage with fancy lights and shit but you can't even see the fucking crowd in the stage shots, there's no lighting on them.

the majors are a great opportunity to rekindle some benaroya nostalgia without sacrificing the big ESPAWTS stadium feel of the international proper

TI2 and TI3 had a very comfy, close knit atmosphere. Like a 'bonfire party' sort of thing

>intimate and raw.
what the fuck is this cringy shit.

well yeah pretty much. that's how it works

i'm gonna try to go, but i probably won't be able to because my dog needs surgery. feels bad man

I don't understand how /d2g/ is always complaining about low priority games. I have never been to lp. I get reported by some salty team mates, sure. But it's never enough to get me to lp. Is it really that hard to be nice to people, to not constantly rage? Clean up your act and maybe you can have a nice game with the rest of us. 9.2k goodboy points btw.

>post-ti4 faggots cringe in the face of sweaty, youthful dota familiarity
say what you will about BUBLA THOUHG but a modern ti can't replicate the feeling of liquid knocking out lgd and that goofy fucking nerd running onto the stage and spazzing out

>be t1 team
>add no events
>get invited to major
>win 12 maps
>leave with 3 million
>do nothing for 4 months
>whine to valve that you are overworked
>repeat

money over bitches

>tfw 9.7k good boy points
>play on aus servers and constantly banter on voice and in chat while being obnoxiously racist towards the SEAmunkies who queue aus
honestly i don't think avoiding reports has anything to do with your behavior in game, as long as you aren't a shitter and play badly or literally sell your items and run down you aren't giving anyone a reason to report you

this is just some cringy nostalgia thing you have.

piss off.

>he doesn't play LPQ and LPQ only
it's like ti3 grand finals every game

not him but whats wrong with nostalgia

even old people does it from time to time

i bet you don't even like yames and bruno

>cringy

fuck off

Honestly like 3k LPQ games or whatever, are far m,ore harder and competitive than my 3k ranked games

then again
>3k

i met some of the realest niggas in LPQ tbqh

>I miss the cosy fireplace warmth feeling that we got in ti2-3 in a e sports game.
real fucking cringe.

>FARM VACUUMS VS FARM VACUUMS
what an experience honestly

its because even if you're 3k trash you can easily get matched up with or against 4k or 5k players in LPQ, probably even higher

t. 4.5

>34/9/13 slark lost to rat dota

Yes I miss that.
Big stadiums and so on feel so detached.

I have 2000 games and have been to LP once. I got there by abandoning games at the picking phase twice in a row because I was in a hurry and could only play one game of dota. Not that it's an excuse for my behaviour but that was the reasoning at the time.

Ever since the good boy report thing started I've always hade more commends than reports just by being a reasonable white skinned human being. Never had any issues with the matchmaking. I don't believe behaviour score exists but if someone does and that thought is a negative to them they should really re-evaluate their lives.

t. meme generating you machine

Makes sense I guess

WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE
CAN'T WAKE UP
SAVE ME

I hope Valve puts a campfire in the Boston Major place and we can all heat up marshmallows and sing campfire songs for that warm comfy feeling that a huge arena just can't give us.

>radiant victory
wow. dire really should have hit some buildings. wp furion.

its kinda hard to hit buildings when you have no creep waves and enemy backdoor protection is permanently up

I unironically hope they do this. Sounds great.

I just hope Bruno is on the panel at some point, even if it isn't with Yames

I miss him so much

haha nothing best the feeling of intentionally feeding the rapier after you got your aegis robbed 2 times as pa

>45,000 net worth lead at 40 minutes
i'm sure you could have selected all 5 dire heroes and a clicked behind the enemy ancient and won the fucking game, creeps or not

>Acting like LPQ is some sacred place with great games.
Fuck off its hell on earth.

>letting the bodies hit the floor with necro on the enemy team

>best the feeling of intentionally feeding the rapier after you got your aegis robbed 2 times as pa

>F O R T Y F I V E T H O U S A N D N E T W O R T H L E A D
>enemies burst 1 of your heroes and necro ults
guys without that buyback we only have a 30,000 networth lead! how can we possibly win the fight?

can Our Chinks win all Majors and next TI?

>Reduce the %hp damage that iron talon does to a creep
>Add a small amount of flat damage (50?)
>Increase the cast range

Now offlaners can use it to last hit in lane, and going to the jungle is less effective.

>3 abandons in 25 matches is higher than 90% of the players.
wev

so you'll try to base race the enemy team and their stuns while their backdoor protection is up and you have no creeps, and your backdoor protection is down and prophet can teleport into your base and kill your throne faster than your whole team combined, with nobody to defend it? with 4-6 creep waves and like 200 treants swarming your ancient if you stop defending for even a moment?
and if you try to be indecisive and feign an all-in on his ancient and then back off and defend, he chips away at towers/rax that don't regenerate while his are protected

furion lane cutting is disgusting to behold. When he's got a radiance/ac/shivas swap for his mantas too, he can hold back mega creeps indefinitely

t. reddit

i dont usually throw games but 2 aegis was enough

there are tons of things to consider from that game
im sure we're all looking from hindsight

chinks are fucking hideous ill tell you what

how about just

>Jungle creeps no longer aggro towards lane creeps or vice versa

there, now offlaners don't need to stay level 1 for the first 5 minutes if they don't go jungle instead

Guess the hero 2k edition

undying

forgot pic nigga

>furion lane cutting is disgusting to behold. When he's got a radiance/ac/shivas swap for his mantas too, he can hold back mega creeps indefinitely
YOU HAD A 45000 (FORTYFIVETHOUSAND) NETWORTH LEAD

YOU COULD HAVE LEFT 2 HEROES AT HOME TO DEFEND FROM FURION RATTING AND STILL EASILY TAKEN THE BASE 3v4

HELL YOU COULD HAVE LEFT 3 AT HOME AND 2v4D COMFORTABLY

>BUT THEY HAD NECRO ULT BOOHOO
YEAH THEY BLOW ALL THERE SPELLS AND NECRO ULT ON ONE OF YOUR CARRIES THEN THE OTHER ONE KILLS THEIR ENTIRE FUCKING TEAM BECAUSE YOU'RE 45000 NETWORTH AHEAD

IF YOU ACTUALLY THINK FURION IS OP YOU'RE FUCKING DELUSIONAL. YOU LOST BECAUSE YOUR TEAM PLAYED LIKE FUCKING PUSSIES AND LET RADIANT HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST COMEBACKS OF ALL FUCKING TIME BECAUSE OF YOUR POOR UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME

>patch literally confirmed to be coming before oct. 23
Whos ready for monkey trouble?

>""""""""""teammate"""""""""""" picks furion
>lose

jesus christ what a garbage hero

does literally nothing but fucking feed gold to the enemy team

>networth matters late game

once everyone is 6 slotted and got their core items nerworth means shit

gold depreciates over time in doturd 2
go away league baby

The battlefury is suspicious, if that is any of the melee agility heroes I'll be very disappointed.

The lack of a radiance also makes me suspicious to call a strength hero being played as a lmao carry.

I'm also tempted to say that it's a hilarious melee int hero meme build, like Ogre

Honestly probably just something dumb like Earthshaker or Undying or Abadon

>40 minutes
>late game
>45000
>forty five thousand
>FORTY FIVE THOUSAND
>networth lead
yeah i'm sure it was just an issue of you guys not having a decent push timing

it's not like pushing at 20 minutes with a 15k networth lead would have won you the game

>lost to rat dota
>so fucking mad

how do i improve while playing

should i play more than 5 games a day winnor lose?

STOP USING SCAN IN THE FUCKING ROSH PIT YOU IGNORANT APES! IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK! HOW HAVE YOU NOT FIGURED THIS OUT YET?

>Pitlord aghs

pit of malice reapplies stun whenever you go back inside it

its just the garbage builds in a shit tier bracket

im sure pa and jugger just ran into magic burst with mask of dogshit on

>Supports that can't gank are level 1 for 15 minutes or steal fucktons of xp from the carry

I would love that change playing offlane, but it ruins supports getting any levels to keep up. Also, denying something like a timber, axe, or dark seer xp is fucking mandatory.

money over bitches

I didn't lose, I'm mad that they're so fucking retarded to lose to rat dota. Credit to Furion, he carried his team, but realistically there is a point of networth advantage where clever rat strats simply can't compensate.

I'm mad that user is trying to act like Furion and rat dota is broken op :( when clearly the fault was with his teams decision making, the fact that they lost a literally unwinnable game of dota is mind boggling.

actually pushing that early high-ground is alot more easy than late game

enemy are gold starved but you have the momentum and abilities that allow u to push(treants)

>team scans rosh pit
>enemy team takes rosh 5 seconds later
>"wtf i scan??"

i cant believe people over 5k mmr can be this fucking braindead

45000 net worth lead is NOT enough to push 3v5 into backdoor regeneration. We're talking about buildings that take almost zero damage and regenerate 90 HP per second, and if they stun you, it keeps regenerating, if they glyph, it regenerates 450 HP, if your attack fails you dealt ZERO damage to the towers

meanwhile furion is chipping away with permanent damage with his dozens and dozens of treants flooding the map, his tactically deployed army of necro3 warriors and dominated creeps and radiance/ac/shivas manta illusions
and he's never in the same location for more than like 3 seconds at a time, so you can't kill him

you just don't fucking appreciate how hard it is to push when ALL your creeps on the map are dead. The proper counter would be to deward his observers so he can't hit everything with his ults and then set a trap when the map is dark for him and kill him twice when he teleports into a tree line

Yeah, clearly Dire played like dogshit. But for user to have the nerve to try and blame the loss on Furion being an overpowered hero is ludicrous. There isn't a hero OSfrog enough in all of dota, ever, to overcome a 45k networth advantage without the enemy fucking up considerably multiple times.

I just get mad when people try to pass the blame on a loss onto someone or something else when it is clear that they could have easily won the game for their team if they hadn't played and/or communicated like absolute dogshit.

>Furion and rat dota is broken op
stop grasping at straws user

no one actually said that here

okay here me out

what if creep experience itself gets changed
>instead of splitting 100/50/33/25/20% for 1/2/3/4/5 heroes in range, lane creeps now split 100/75/50/33/20%, giving a total of 100/150/150/132/100% experience

what went right doe turds?

Did you see this post user?

>furion lane cutting is disgusting to behold
>etc, etc
user tries to put all the blame for the loss onto Furion playing well from behind. He won't accept for a moment that he is (at least partially) responsible for throwing an almost literally unwinnable lead away through his poor personal play/decision making and his inability to correctly influence his teammates into making correct decisions.

My point is that the only reason Dire lost is because user, and his teammates, played like absolute shit and threw. There is nothing 'OP' or 'unfair' about Radiants draft, heroes, playstyle or timing. They (mainly Furion) simply managed to play from behind correctly while Dire played from ahead in the worst way imaginable.

idk what the fuck u guys are talking about but that furion played well

he might not even be the original poster of that image

>Bulldog
LMAO

>wasting gold on echosaber, bots
>could have used that gold to build a manta

you got carried son

you autists are squabbling about backdoor regen and furion but you forgot something that only an autist prime such as myself would only know and very little other people in the world

there is a floating point rounding error in the backdoor regen calculation where you have a 50% chance of any instance of damage doing 1 damage to the tower instead of 0. if you have furion or veno wards or a bunch of shitty illusions, you can take a 100 HP T3 tower down in 200 hits approximately.
