Before I waste my MMR, has anyone given Venomancer a try?
Benjamin Anderson
So how do I win as Timber? I always do well in lane and get a decent KDA but I always seem to lose, so I feel like maybe i'm not making enough of a mid-game impact?
Brody Cruz
How do we fix the meme king?
Leo Wilson
i mean if you can get to 25 you can never lose a game

Eh this is still technically true, even with League aspects, Dota 2 is still the more sophisticated and complex game. I'll start whining when they get rid of denying and stacking.
Caleb Reed
This game is over PPD saw what was coming and jumped ship just in time
Matthew Bailey
nth for fuTA
Lincoln Gray
Are you just fucking around 1v5 and doing zero damage to buildings like the average timber player or are you building necronomicon to take rax and win the game while you do that instead?

So if Dota 2 is dead does this mean we get to go back to HoN?
I liked HoN, announcer was better and they made fun things.

They fucking removed the ability to see what cosmetic items other players have are you fucking kidding me that's the dumbest shit to remove
Chase Garcia
So what other ASSFAGGOTS have you played dotards? I played 1 game of LeL before I started dota, the pay-to-win system was the reason why I started to play dota instead, 4k hours played by now
Charles Taylor
why can't they just give the old hub back, new players can have the new one but the old one.. why not keep it like they kept legacy keys????????????????????
Ryder Scott
So like, where do I find my own created hero builds? They don't show up as default for me anymore nor do I see them in the list

Your own builds user? That's haram, you'll build what valve tells you to build.

This patch is actually so dogshit

Tried league once, it was too bushy for me to handle.
Isaac Smith
Played a bit of DotA back in the day didn't really care for it, liked HoN a fair bit when that came around, wish I played it more, got SUPER into LoL for a long time because that's where my friends were, once Dota 2 came out I played it with a smaller circle of friends, HotS has pretty much always been a solo thing when I'm in the mood for it, these days Dota 2 and HotS are the only ones I'll play.
Jose Bailey
do you use vulkan?
Camden Barnes
can't fool me, not going to give moonduck my view shiller
Austin James
It varies from chapter to chapter, but Drow Ranger is generally considered the most central protagonist of the DotA series.
Caleb Mitchell

Michael Foster
i have tried -dx11, -gl and -vulkan. the fps stays the same.
Andrew Flores
No idea but we had to kill him 6 times in a team fight after we killed everyone else, without aegis Dude from team told me his ulty can stack now
Ayden Parker
Anyone else's client keep crashing since the most recent update?
Benjamin Parker
What type of buffs do you think arc warden will inevitably get? Icefrog has shat on him too much and he needs something now

please tell me there is a way to turn this off it's so fucking annoying I can handle the rest of this shit UI for now but I can't deal with this
Isaac Roberts

Yes, settings -> options -> right side, slightly down and theres the "override hero console" or something.

Monkey King's arcana is shit for its price.
Jose Gutierrez
his new ult cd is 40seconds at lvl 3, add to it octameme and it might be the reason why it happened.
Tyler Reed
options > interface > check Unit query overrides hero control console
now enjoy your hub expanding or minimizing when clicking heroes with less or more spells
Eli White
they ruined the game by removing turn rates and everybody but me is too shit to notice even though everyone agrees the game just feels off
Ryder Powell
>Shopkeeper talks when you go near him
Blake Sanders
So whats the preffered build on mankey kang
I figure max dindu bang first for the damage. The stun afterwords for fights the then the leap for the extra damage and slow when getting picks.
Then for items, phase deso sny and what ever else is needes like skadi bkn mkb etc
Brody Thompson
Give it another day user. It just came out yesterday, it happened the same when reborn came out.

Zachary Diaz
Played dota since guinsoo dota, icefrog was a lord and a saint how he saved the mod.
I really wanted to get HON when it came out, but league pushed for open beta sooner and faggots tried to get me to play guinsoo's new game, I immediately hated it, its art style, its slow as fuck movement and boring ass abilities, so I went back to dota.
Then I played HON up until 3.0 when S2 went full $JEW and copy pasted the league of legends model, going free 2 play, and destroying the pub scene by flooding games with new players who could only play 6 heroes instead of actaully being able to pick and counter pick based on any sense of metagame, so I quit and went back to dota 1, but Dota 1 was taken over by stat tracker bots who made pubbing cancerous, so I played in tourneys for a while.
Then dota 2 came back and saved the pub scene, except every #NEWMETA patch that came out since the Wraith King patch has slowly been ruining any sense of depth dota once had by adding in meme items, forcing a specific metagame by nerfing strategies into the ground until it finally hit the epitome of "We want the HOTS/League of Legends audience" with 7.00, the game plays like its -em, building items is no longer about picking what you need based on your enemies and allies, but rather, on what is meta, and the game is entirely devolved into a League of Legends style Farm for 20 minutes then push to win or lose meta.
All in all, I guess I need to find another game that scratches my itch for games with lots of depth and choices.

Blink is core, the tree hopping+blink allow you to cover insane amount of distance,

Rofl. Don't sleep on it. I was expecting him to unfuck Clockwerk, Earth Spirit and Tusk. Didn't happen.
Jason Martin
To be fair hes squishu as fuck and any hero that kills trees will fuck his day up. Its the trade off for having so much kill potential. Hes not very good at crowd control either. No his skills arent enough, his cool down on his stun makes him useless with out cc heroes and his ult is only really good at killing as little targets as possible
Benjamin Phillips
>Click other heroes in old UI >Can see their hats >Can't do anymore Seems counterproductive Valve
Nathaniel Green
He is a glasscannon user. You only need to destroy the tree he is up and then he is an easy target. 4 sec stun, i only know a stun longer than that and is a max ranged Mirana arrow
Chase Taylor
add -high What's vulkan

how do you find the nigger without a hero with flying vision built in?
Oliver Lee
It's that thing /g/ pumps off at the sight of because muh FOSS
Kevin Howard
I think if there were more plentiful means to take out trees, any balance issues would be solved outright. At the moment you just have a handful of heroes that can destroy trees, and a few items.
Or alternatively, longer cooldown on treehopping, given the items used to cut down trees don't have as gracious of a cooldown period.
Isaiah Phillips
Theres so many heroes that fuck him
Timber at the highest
Batrider Beastmaster Natures Pudge Any one with dot
People will learn to counter him eventually
Isaiah Myers
>add -high doesn't improve anything. i even tried setting the priority from high to real time using process hacker. no dice. the problem is that the game is not using all of the available resources, that's something only valve can fix.
Played League around 2013. --Actually-- enjoyed playing it, but it was just some brainless gaming. I didn't care for any of the optimization shit or the builds or whatever. Just go in, play and kill some time. But then a friend of mine was moving migrating to a different country so we had to find a game we could play (since LoL was Garena in my country) and then he suggested Dota. From then on, I never looked back.
