Threadly reminder!!!!!

fuck off naga

I don't even like dota. I haven't played a proper game for months. I don't even like custom games anymore since there are no new ones because of valve's shitty system and the old and popular ones are fucking terrible.
I just come here to shitpost.

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.

someone tell me why you would build drums and euls on batrider before blink

Is EE our guy?

...

to delay your blink + forcestaff as much as possible

Welcome to the party pal, /d2g/ is the best place to discuss random video games that don't have generals and shitpost with your friends.

>friends

I'm not your friend, friend.

Okay friend.

'fw 'itpoting 'n 'he 'lag

uh.. you don't get to bring friends

Guys I have an idea.

Support Meepo.

I'm going to try it out.

ghost vagina

>No Lux hero
Seriously dotards?

>doto
>skillshots

literally bad Disruptor

>discuss random video games that dont have generals
>tfw rimworld general died
>tfw find it super comfy to play while watching dota
its hard having no place to talk about it

If you're genuinely interested you should go look up VP.Lil on dotabuff and look at his last meepo games. He literally does support meepo and wins.

>game loads
>you have an obvious 3stack on your team with matching names or avatars
>they immediately ghostpick/put themselves on the map as mid, safe lane farm and offlaner
What do you do?
>alternative mode: you queued with the fifth player

cliff jungle

axe creep cutting mid

go mid and ruin there game teach those fuckers a lesson

>Banana "SHIT" Slam Jamal

is buying vanguard bad on a diving man fighting hero if you already bought an item that gives you health regeneration?

who?

Lil talked about his "support" meepo at the Summit.
He said he supports like a pos 4 for the first bit of the game then gradually transitions into a pos 1 hero.

Hard to really call that supporting.

Vnaguard is a "win more" item

You could go and actually watch his games instead of just assuming bullshit. Players like you are the worst and take the most time to improve (if ever).

youtube.com/watch?v=PVQGw0GuC1k

not to mention the tons of times fnatic did it

vanguard is really good early game because of the damage block and nice hp bump, the regen is just a nice bonus
the problem with vanguard is that the damage block is shit past the early game, mid game crison is a nice way to save the item but thats about it

Always abyssal

Guys, guys.

I also have an idea.

Support Drow Ranger

Thoughts?

TRIGGERED

i thought he was talking about heroes like axe and didnt consider at all the abyssal upgrade

this game is shit and this thread is dead i'm coming up with new ideas that icefraud should totally use because his ideas are shit

some sort of forest nymph fairy thing

500 range intelligence
290 ms
18+1.6 strength
16+1.8 agility
25+2.7 intelligence

spirit shackle
throw a spirit shackle at the ground
tethers anyone in the aoe's spirit to the ground
the further tethered units moves from the original point the more damage they take
every 20/17/13/10 distance increases the damage per second by 1
lasts 4/5/6/7 seconds
17/16/15/14 cooldown
120/130/140/150 mana
500 range
120 radius

energy pod
a pod of energy sprouts from the ground
the pod grows for a few seconds and then bursts, releasing the energy in an aoe
enemies in the aoe are damaged and allies are healed
counts as a tree for the third skill
3 second growth time
110/220/330/440 damage/heal
18 cooldown
300 radius
500/550/600/650 range
100/125/150/175 mana

nature's zeal
passive
being near trees makes the fairy thing and its allies gain bonus movement and attack speed
600 radius
200 tree search radius
20/30/40/50 attack speed
6/9/12/15% move speed

nymph's glade
causes a bunch of uncontrollable angry trees to sprout from the ground that attack anything nearby but cannot move
the trees have a long ranged melee attack and inflict a small dot with each attack
350 tree spawn radius
5/8/11 trees spawn
they spawn randomly, but distributed evenly throughout the aoe
trees count towards the third skill
they attack a random unit within range each time they attack, including buildings
900 cast range
200/275/350 mana cost
140/130/120 cooldown

tree stats:
4 hits to kill (8 from creeps)
90-110 damage

450 flying vision each
1.5 BAT
10 physical damage dot for 3 seconds each attack, doesn't stack
30-35 bounty each

>You can manta dodge dream coil snap stun
>You can manta dodge glimpse
>You can manta dodge everything
Is Manta Style the best item in the game?

where's the slark warden

>weebs are ribbitors
kys yourself fagt

No because manta is bugged.

You need some really good timing and gamesense to pull that off everytime.
Most people are better off just getting a BKB first.

Also best item ingame is either Echo sabre or Lotus orb

how do you know he's as redditor user....

a puck can't carry

*takes every tower by pushing with team*
*picks off every squishy when they show their face*'
*gets perfect vision with wards for team in order to take objectives*

*didn't carry*

>one of the best items for agi carries damage wise
>one of the best utilities in the game at all levels
>can dodge almost everything if perfected
yes

?

Played my first match of Dota since winter wyverns release and I went 3-11 as pudge. Got confused with the new items on enemies and some ability changes to other heroes. Guess I'll stick yo warlock until I get some cote mechanics back. I can still deny and last hit pretty well. But I'll have to straybawya from meepo, invoker, waternigger etc. What's the current meta if there has been a shift.

>You can't sell or drop aghs on certain heroes once you get it
>This still hasn't been fixed yet
umm... dotards...

just spam AM for free mmr points like always

like who?

what is the viability of the best dota 2 hero CHAOS KNIGHT in this meta?

meepo

You can't drop aghs on heroes that provide an additional ability from it.

Dropping aghs should just remove that ability from you fluidly, and give it back once you pick it back up again.

The fact that it doesn't work like this shows that Dota is an incomplete game.

Echo sabre or dragon lance on every hero

tier 1
drow/pudge/od/timber

tier 2
slark/pa/morphling/omniknight in conjuction with any of these heroes/sand king/mirana

tier 3
invoker/lifestealer/underlord/luna+shadow demon/faceless void/tinker

I mean, having the whim to remove one meepo whenever would be strong. You can just send it to scout/farm then drop your aghs and bam safety net.

of course, it's a beta bro
check your game file, it still says 'dota 2 beta' it doesn't matter if you downloaded the game 5 years ago or last week, the game file is still called beta
lots of things going on behind the scenes :^)

As long as there are no illusion clearing hero on the other side (sven, timber etc) then mah nigga CK is gucci.

Ender, the Land Master

Heavenly Palm, Active Q -
>Ender strikes the earth, raising a pillar of terrain by 1 level within a 425 AoE for 3/4/5/6 seconds and deals 100/150/200/250 damage. The terrain applies all elevation differences such as vision, high-ground evasion and fog of war. The pillar can connect to similar level terrain. Destroys trees.

Battleground, Passive W -
Ender gains bonuses depending on the elevation of his terrain.
>In the River he gains increased movespeed by 4%/6%/8%/12%
>On the first level after he gains increased attack damage of 10/20/30/60
>On the second level he gains increased vision of 400/600/800/1000
>On the third level he gains increased armor of 10 at all levels and 12% increased magic resist.

Land Walker, Active E -
>For 8 seconds Ender strides across the land causing the earth to shake in a 250 AoE around him dealing 75/100/125/150 damage every 125 units he crosses

Hammer, Active R -
>The Land Master proves his name and strikes the ground with his godly hammer, leveling all terrain within a 500/1000/1500 AoE for 16 seconds while also dealing 150/225/300 damage. All effects of Battleground become active on this new land.

Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade -
>Hammer is now a global ground targeted ability.

actually seems kind of interesting.

>inb4 brewmaster clap changes terrain

icefrog

Um, dotards?

>BSJ losing with carry venge in a pub

talent for Boston announcement when?

fuck !mvbrxxxECc

>runescape 3 is shit and the only thing i have left for trim are champion scrolls which refuse to drop for me
>old school runescape is shit since i've maxed and there is no trim to go for
>dota 2 is shit
>civ 6 is shit
>dark souls 3 is shit

>dark souls 2 is really shit
>dark souls 1 is shit
>demon's souls is shit
>pokemon sun is shit
>/d2g/ is shit
>it's really hot
>i just want to die

...

>we need a core
>last picker picks a shadow shaman
Playing ranked should require fucking standardized testing to weed out retards

...

white version is pretty cute

?
how is it hot
its pretty hella cold here

Australia.

>bloodborne is shit
>civ 6 is shit
Shit taste

wow :)
where is that?

>these NA faggots forcing this gg end meme.

able nade?

>Having a lineup with too many supports, including a good pusher.

I was in that exact situation a month ago except I lastpicked Pugna. We won every lane because we had heroes that actually fight from minute zero not afk autistic farmers. We won in 24 minutes and I had 8k tower damage. 4k MMR at its finest.

melbourne?

>queue 3.5k ranked
>nothing in 7 mins

is this game actually dead in america

>Just want to relax and play a singleplayer game
>At any given time there is, at a maximum, 1 good singleplayer PC game under 6 months old
>Nintendo games in dead hours until Switch launches
>Not autistic enough to buy another console
It's shit like this that makes Hearthstone (i.e. RNG clown fiesta) successful.

4k eu, anyone want to play some ranked games?

>enemy team feeds off your 3 squish heros simply by buying raindrops
>end of the day you have a midlaner and offlane which can't do shit against a fed anything
i have no idea how you won that game in 4k mmr

Yes actually
Activity maps have shown that there are relatively very few players in NA compared to regions like EU and South America

holy fucking shit what

people don't play much at 4 am amber :)

time to learn how to play with 90 ping I guess

a year ago it took 3 mins at most

two years it took 1

3.5k mmr is legit mental retard level though
If you were 5k you would get faster games
Or just queue on europe

civ6 is hot garbage
bloodborne is ok but you can only play it so many times

it's arteezy and all of his clones
it's actually intolerable dealing with shitheads who think they're him and just spam GG END and run down mid

3.5k was top of the bellcurve and that was tanked from 4k from trying to get back of the game over those 2 years (every time I was drunk)

kysys

Is Dota dead then? I'm the dude who had his first game after a year, it did take me about 5 minutes to find a match. We HoN Now? Also they managed to only release 2 heroes since winter wyvern? Doto pls

>it's actually intolerable dealing with shitheads who think they're him and just spam GG END and run down mid

my shitter 4k friend does this all the fucking time
