What are some games to play while I wait for 7.00abcdz

captcha: navidad call

>tfw not enough fuTA lewds

>wake up
>no performance patch

how could this piece of shit get the most kills in a game record at boston holy shit I'm so mad he's so fucking awful at this game legit bottom 3 mid of boston and this stupid chinless face kill me already dotards

>creeps don't interrupt bottle, salve, clarity etc anymore
why are they casualising my favourite game so much?

i hate this

how do I lvl up my dota profile fast guys?
Have a lv 45 chest that I need to open but my lvl freezing at 25

Towers don't interrupt salve anymore, so you can dive with it.

HOL UP HOL UP

But what about loading screens and hud skins?

What is it with you ""6""k mmr fags saying it's so easy for support to get gold and exp?

My guess is 75% of you wouldn't know where to buy wards and probably play safe lane carries every match.
I literally buy out all the wards, dust, smoke, harass and win lane, rotate to help other lanes, place wards, pick up all the bounties I can, and I'm STILL level 5 while 4/5 of their heroes are level 10.
You leave lane for 30 seconds and you're 3 levels behind.

What am I supposedly doing wrong now?

>+50 diabolic edict explosions
OUTTA MY WAY IMPURE FUCKING SHITS

where the fuck is naga firstposting guy im not used to this shit

like this change
My cm jungle is so much better right now

TOWERS ARE AN ABOMINATION

always first pick AM

The fighting pose intro is really fucking dumb. Its cool to see, and the music is kinda hype, but it completely goes against the mood of the game. Wow, hype up to watch some guys hit some creeps. Real riveting. Its the kind of shit an user would suggest here and then concentrate his autism in drawing a rough sketch of it, then everyone else would say "user thats retarded" and the thread would move on. But then they actually did it.
This patch was just a rash of bad ideas put in with little consideration as to whether they were actually good.

what loading screens and hud skins?

WE DID IT REDDIT

reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/5i6lzt/fixed_the_hud/

Who's this planet of the apes looking dude on the main screen that says he needs no introduction?

...

Anyone else doesn't like the new UI?

Holy shit it's perfect!

It's so out of place and stupid that it's kind of funny in an almost satirical way.

upvoted :D

Every hero shows what cosmetics he has, its just a way of showing off your hats so people buy them

>am in 7.00
lul

Litewrally the strongest hero beside monkey king right now.

This desu, RIP the comfy music they always got symphonic orchestras to play at TIs

LMAO 50EDICT!!1

Generally, they only put performance patches in the spring cleaning patch

except creeps take two times more to spawn
though bounty runes are nice and his new aghs is truly some OSfrog experience

wukong's skill one also seems to be familiar to me. Of course, i posted it a lot here ehuhuehauheuhau

Every time

So like a Pudge Hook but map-wide?

...

I report every allied MK if we dont win, you have to be on a whole another level of shit player to do that.

anyone else getting a lot of Tinkers in your games so far? Shit is fucking awful

Pretty much how I felt playing him. Really strong early game especially vs melee, and then falls off. His Q is a bit bullshit but he kind just dies if caught out. His ult feels underwhelming as well.

Why are we defending having loading screens over faster load times now?

fourth spirit brother confirmed for next hero

you also fixed the map it looks like

he realy isn't
he is some weird mix of ursa and tusk
he is also pretty squishy for melee carry

Why do people with the arcanas suck ass? Had a afk jungle cm arcana, several dumbass jungle legion arcanas and recently a monkey king arcana who fed the mid medusa like crazy.

Read and learn.

W.r.t. your picture, did you know that the "death banner" had a golden texture if the dead teammate had enough gold to buyback?

One of the things that saddens me about Dota is that calling people by their color never caught on like it did in WC3. Saves time to just call them dg or lb, or even just red. Nobody knows what color people are at a glance now though. The colors are just too similar.

semen spirit

He's a mid hero, you get map control and win mid-game when your whole team is 2 items ahead of the enemies

If you play with randoms who just afk and don't do dick, and you don't capitalize yourself on your success, then yeah you'll lose late when all that farm went to nothing

>thread gets posted 65 posts early
>everyone just rolls with it

pretty much this, feels like icefrog forgot to scale his q, so the first value point is ridiculous but lategame he can only use it once per fight, unlike sof or something

>tfw no Ilexa hero

the last 100 posts of any thread are never worth reading

4channer check
born before 1995 check
master race check

Sound about right

>people run the enemy/friendly colors
>everyone is red/cyan no matter what
Shit was hilarious sometimes

>Start playing again after a 2 year break
>Lose 4 games in a row

It hurts so much.

lol

I will teach you faggots how to play monkey fucking king

Step 1 : Poor man shield, tangoes
Step 2 : Mid
Step 3 : do 1 1 3 1 build
Step 4 : be aggresive as fuck, you can even skip that disguise shit because its shit and you'd rather get longe stun duration
Step 5 : treads sb echo sabre asap dont ask me why you fucking retard
Step 6 : Max the tree jump next for more damage and slow
Step 7 : stop doing solo hunts you fucking faggot,
Step 8 : read gameplay


Gameplay :
Learn to play ursa first or play ursa instead.

I've missed every ban-phase of ranked i've played so far because load times are faster

You use his ult to secure towers.

I have alternative Disguise build

Play Techies.

So, rush lifesteal, go rosh then get a blink dagger?

I hope your children die on their way to school maybe struck by drunken driver or soemthing you mindless retarded fuck.

quality post rh

only idiots pay $40 for a skin, should be obvious

>tfw born in 1995
>still hating the patch
d..dotards?

I can coach you for small small fee of 1 arcana

How do you get good at this game?
I've played over 2000 hours and I lose almost every game I play.

>start charging sb
>both get stunned
>after stun blink away before sb reacts

Associating heroes to their color is a habit that not enough people had (I struggled to do it consistently, personally), but that made the minimap significantly faster to parse.

>havent played for lika year
>login to play some bot matches to check out how all the stuff works
>i cant since low priority for 5 games
GREAT GAEM DOTURd

You sometimes hear pro streamers call people by their color. But in all honesty, I still think its better to call them by their hero. Some people don't pay attention to what color they are

Source? Getting no results on that image.

Ignore this if that lc has a penis

>STILL being a Dota 2 gameplayer after Valve's countless efforts to jew and extort their customers

your post it's funny because reality it's completely the opposite

>play first 3 games on new patch
>matched with some dogshit westerners whining about everything
>lose despite playing well

>get matched with 4 russian stack
>jungle drow
>phoenix apparently hated me for healing him
>we win despite enemy tryharding like its TI with their picks
dota is strange game

It's only new players who dont call players by their color.
Although I remember colors were extremely popular in 2014 when Brown/Orange were ALWAYS the shittiest player in the team (before they revealed each players MMR numbers in the end screen)

HOW2PLAY TECHIES REEEEEEEEEEE
t. afk cancet

Okay, Dotababbies.
Convince me to start playing your game instead of League.

>Monkey King
>Uses his Q
>Has like a 30 fucking second cooldown
>His W is automatically on cooldown because it's a teamfight and he's taking damage

Literally the only teamfight he has is his ultimate and you can just walk out of it. Otherwise the only ability he has to use after he fires off his Q is his passive which he needs to hit someone 4 times for.

Just slow him and he dies easy.

Hey d2g, is there an option to always show your K/D/A while in game?

Stop posting this if I can't ever have it ;_;

its more like your game then ever, and farming no longer matters

Why do so many people at this general hate valve for being jews, meanwhile loltards often defend riot marketing despite having to grind to new champions?

>play a game to test new patch
>turn UI as far back as possible, overriding current unit, disable screen shake
>screen still flashes red, blue and green
>random text and noises everywhere
>every important stat is even too small for ants
nice fucking patch valve
BRAVO

map is also utter garbage, i could manage to live with talents but who the fuck came up with all the other shit

>and you can just walk out of it
Any on-hit effects he has are also applied by his clones, with their own cooldowns. If he has skadi or echo saber, you aren't getting out of the ring.

glue your alt key so its always pressed

no nigger
the support venge will then stun you
and you will die

>i don't know what millenials mean: the post

fuck this game and league of legends, bunch of faggots play this pussy ass shit.

Judging by your image and the way you type you're just here for waifus and animefaggotry.

League is the perfect game for you.

How can anyone pretend that THE monkey king build is anything except phase, echo, desolator, basher, sny, skadi?

>You might be witnessing the return to ricing dota after all these le teamfight all le time metas
Anyone have more of these to celebrate, I just have this and the Spectre one

he's a counter initiator dumbass, your not supposed to jump in before anyone else. why the fuck do you think he has the ability to infinitely sit in fucking trees.

I still don't have to pay for heroes.
