back when dota was a lot less shit and worth playing I made a script that scanned all players steam info and determined their country of origin and account age.

I used this to dodge anytime the peruvian limit and/or smurf limit was exceeded.

Those were good days to play dota.

>Bulba was the problem.

bulba was A problem

When will modern medical science be able to fix him?

So without memeing, what exactly went wrong with dota 2?

...

It's not fun to play because other people are cunts

That's the reality of it, whining about balance or changed mechanics or cosmetics is just gravy, the real meat is that it's a team game where your teammates are either shit or shit and assholes.

dota 2 is fine. the people playing it are the problem

Dubs gets to be my Battlecup team logo, only requirement is that image is square. I can resize to 164x164 myself, but if it's not square it'll just stretched ugly.

>Rubick is a honeypot hero

"Dude I'll le steal huge ult's and be so cool xd"

worst post i've seen this week

>bulba
>team assassin
>good

Non-whites.

No memeing whatsoever.

Games with whites were and still are awesome.

-RD was a refuge from the subhuman peruvians.

Don't know if it still is.

No patch since forever

talk dota to me

its a team game that people try to play solo

nice icepath you fucking retard

>Valve listening to reddit

Are they dumb?

i called this shit from jump street T.B.H.F.A.M
its not specific to diretide but you can use that as an example. it all started with the holiday events really frostivus was the same was the same

the second valve saw that people were legitimately enjoying content that they created for free with no returns in profit valve decided to pull the plug and do a complete 180 FUCK YOU FOR PLAYING THIS GAME AND WERE GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT change of face

valve brings back diretide
valve brings back frostivus
valve removes diretide
valve removes frostivus
never brings either back
puts locks and delays on cosmetic trading and actually chokes out the community market
starts developing garbage content for garbage holidays that require you to pay and actually don't reward you whatsoever like chinese new year and starts to develope garbage compendiums that force players to fork over money and play over 9000 hours to get a return on investment

they even went so far as to change the way credit cards work on the actual steam client itself among many other restrictions

valve isnt going to turn back theyve made too much money to stop they are literally going to milk dota for all of its money and when the cow is dry and dusty theyll just rehash the game's new content into a pack that will force you to pay for it like they did with some of their titles like left 4 dead

by this time theyll have released a variation of dota 2 that isnt lke the beta or reborn it will be some bullshit like dota 2 allstars which sounds fucking retarded but not more so than anything valve has already done

oh and did i mention it all started because everyone on reddit BEGGED for diretide and frostivus. and when it was taken away the backlash lasted years and now valve is backpedaling and doing damage control because they know they have plummeted their own game into the ground

inb4 liquid come back and win due to le balanced convict fish

>drums invoker

Why doesn't Valve just sell reports? It would instantly solve the LP and Peruvian problem.

Make your voice heard dotards

t. rubickpicker

he's bad and picking him is a detriment to winning games

who this gh.god?

dota

>tfw will never truly have fun without 4 more friends to play with

I see DOTA is gaining or at least holding popularity on steam stats. But all my friends have stopped playing, I knew tonnes of people that played around me and in my friend circles but everyone has stopped.

I'm finding it hard to enjoy dota just by myself. I don't want to say the games dying, but it feels dead to me personally.

It's so fucking sad to watch Liquid now, Holy fuck.

>madara
HOLY FUCK

Pubstar

>miracle getting blocked by the entire creepwave
ah yes 9k

What if Valve listened to d2g?

>not watching faceless vs mvp

so who do you fucktards blame for terrible liquid perfomance now since bulba is out

Please, we want to have a playable game, not recreate the american prison system.

>BULBA WAS THE PROBLEM

>M-MIRACLE IS GOOD GUISE

>MMR is LITERALLY a honeypot metric

Bloodthorne is going to replace Daedalus and sometimes even MKB on heroes who'd usually build them in the not too distant future.

hey sam

...

miracle

>t-the bulba boogeyman is why my team is shit!!11

>kick bulba

>still be shit

>LOSE
>TO
>FUCKING
>KAIPI

Every game feels like that user

That's why i have troubles making any real friends, because when they go it will feel too empty

gg go next

miracles Adderall tolerance

so what was the reasoning behind jakiro and rubick there

>hey guys we're not in boston

>lets draft honeypot heros

>tfw found a steam bf in reddit chat
He taught me how to lane better as AM too.
I feel so warm inside

Is kuro trying to get Liquid to dump him or something?

>no qop to wrestle with naked
>no drow to work out with
>no cm to crush in bed

WHY CAN'T MY WAIFUS BE REAL? ;_;

..............

>Warlock heal outhealing Slarks damage.

>if Liquid just kept Jerax they'd have qualified for Boston ez.

It's sad really, Miracle has more to offer than Fata, but Bulba is such a step down from Jerax.

>ldr
just setting yourself up for another breakdown honey

>still blaming the bulba boogeyman for liquid being shit

?

wew lad this current team would have done even worse in boston quals

when a slark+1 can't kill a warlock it's time to gg

>tfw no steam bf/gf
Im glad you found someone and that hes making a better player out of you, stick with him and with that warm fuzzy feeling on the inside!

...

I mean they actually won a few games, which is already better than the bulba liquid

aren't slark supposed to be most OP hero in the game according to /d2g/ and reddit? why is liquid losing then?
but it is already
bloodthorne is gooddaedalus and goodmkb, but the fact that every hero can build self dispel item that fits into his build counteracts it

>every team Bulba has been on has gone to shit
>thinking it's a meme

???

It's the same deal with RTZ and why he'll never win a TI or Major.

they were set to win that last series until miracle "9k RPs" completely choked it away

bulba was the only one making plays on disruptor to keep them in the game

>pick rubick
>have to rely on the enemy team making mistakes to steal good spells

if you want to rely on what is practically luck, why not just play ogre magi?

>they were set to win that last series until miracle "9k RPs" completely choked it away

That game was alreaday over way before Miracle fucked his RP and you are a simpleton fi you cant tell that

>they were set to win


they where like nearly 10k networth behind before the rp whiff, that was the final nail in the coffin

>but bulba could press r every once in a while

he was literally terrible in every respect at support

I've got a friend like that too.

Even when he memes, he doesn't tilt and you know he'll always do his best and be objective about things

your team is still hot fucking trash without bulba kid

you are being eviscerated by tier 4 greeks known for literally nothing more than a naruto meme

its more of a warm sticky feeling :3c

Why is it called the jungle when it's not a jungle but a forest?

>Pick invis heroes
>Have to rely on lack of detection

>Pick hero with
>Have to rely on enemy being out of position

>Play dota to win
>Have to rely on enemy team being worse

watch AF choke this away and Sheever goes on official suicide watch

i thought it was traditionally called the forest but jungling/jungle caught on due to HoN/League

t. person who never played dota 1 and is probably completely wrong

Gfs are real user, there's still hope.

Youre not him, user please. Wanna take my sticky warm feeling?

first missed RP was the point there VP returned to the game (they almost lost 5 minutes before that), second missed RP was a green light for them to push into rax, the game could last for at least 10 minutes more if not for that

>he doesn't go 'wooding'

kuroky needs a good beating from his team
this draft was absolute trash

Ad Finem are the best team in europe right now

>bulba was the problem

would have won with bulba

>rubick player upset his hero is shit

simple quextion that we both know you can't answer

why play a hero that steals good spells, when you can play a hero that HAS good spells

both kuro and poopey should just commit murdersuicide

>jakiro and nyx
>against batrider or invoker or void or warlock
>against all 4

Did bulba break kuroky's brain?

Rubick can have all the good spells enemies have

That 1 hero has only 1/5th of them

how are there people defending bulba?

name me one team he has been on that's been good.

go ahead, i've got time.


HAS BULBA EVEN WON A FUCKING LAN BEFORE?

i wish thorin would give me a wooding

nyx counters bat hard you retard

>ti3 liquid

yeah those spell steals are 100% guaranteed

:^)

:

>finally takes a picture where she doesn't up the exposure a million % to hide her imperfections
>looks like shit even caked with make-up

lel.

>bomb out of every tournament you ever play
>win two bo1's
>you are now good

didn't they lose every game at g1 league when they went with alliance? Like when china was utter, utter, utter fucking shit?

Same reason people play invoker.
Why play a hero with a few spells when you can have a GAZILLION spells

>Damage control to make it about bulba

Say
It
With
Me


Miracle
Is
Shit

No amount of bulba boogeymaning can make miracle not shit

Your
Team
Is
Trash

Your
Favorite
Player
Is
Garbage

they and VP are top two, i can't say that one of them is straight better, but both of them are superior to any other EU team

Sheever doesn't hide her flaws

Ameriliquid was absolute trash apart from that LGD fluke

- /d2g/

Check out hero winrates.

Spiked carapace =/= hard counter to batrider, retard.

I don't like liquid, but I really really really don't like bulba and I really really really don't like people defending him.

Retire already and stop taking spots from not shit players for fuck sake

Addendum
Solo MMR is meaningless
Dota is a teamgame
Solo MMR should be removed
The only MMR that should exist is MMR for persistent 5stacks. (Or maybe 6stacks to allow for a slight variance)
