Dota 2 General - /d2g/

>slardar's bash got renamed to "bash of the deep"

but why icefrog

Monkey King is garbage late game but an absolute GOD early game

>Trying to gank s4

>KAL LE

I think you're mixing up your chinese memes with your mongolian memes

Who the fuck is playing who
what even is this pro game I feel like I'm watching a pub

what is wrong with these fucking names
who is who

he hits you very deep with fish dick now

>he

WHY ARE ALL CARRIES PLAYING IN THE OFFLANE NOW

I DONT GET THIS MEME

>move kill notifications from the right back to the left
>its halfway up the screen and partially covers spectator charts

JUST MOVE IT DOWN TO WHERE IT WAS U FUCKS

midgame he's a god too
crazy gank potential with that super mobility and undetectable invis in the trees so no solo splitpushing
just get him echo sabre and basher and his ult wins all teamfights too

why are people hyped for the liquid fire change? literally nothing

>Pick Silencer
>Get Orchid
>Get Halberd
There you go
Monkey King cannot do shit to you, you have evade and health and Orchid can be built into Bloodthorn.

Dude Skadi, ice and fire xD

BUY. MIDAS.

New patch is fucking shit. 80 percent of players hate this patch. Valve needs to revert this shit fucking patch and fire Icefrog while they're at it.

you could still hit with skadi and then use the UAM and then auto attack again

Shrine now splits regeneration over all present. So instead of healing 5 people for 600/200 over 5 seconds, it heals 5 people for 100/40 each over 50 seconds. Or 200/66 for 3 people etc

Try to argue how Wraith King's lvl 25 Talent not being turning back into Skeleton King isn't one of the biggest fuckups in this update.

Protip: you can't

>pick silencer
>farm 6k worth of items

Ok you did it congratz!

How do I get into this game as a player new to DotA but having played LoL a bunch? All the DotA specific guides that don't just cover moba basics are in Russian

>pick silencer
>dont build escape
>monkey kang jumps on your ass, hits you 4 times and you cant fight back anymore
>global silence
>you're still dead
>orchid
>you're still dead

Unless you're building halberd first item you're literal food for the kang

Use Purge's guide you baiting fuck

th the lolbab asking about lore: dota2.gamepedia.com/Archronicus
here's some more

If you can't farm 6k on Silencer there's an issue
Yeah Halberd first works best. All I know is I've played 3 games with Silencer vs Wuz and those two items have made him powerless to hurt me or my allies

Works great on Antimage too

Comfy naga is back!

what if shrines only started with 1 charge and gained one for every tower you destroy

You would have to be a core silencer, and then you have wasted a core position on a shitty carry silencer

ALSO, what is manta style? A recommended item for MK

no need to learn anything theyre practically the same game now

>Halberd first Silencer
I dont want to know what position you're playing but anything in the 1k trench works I guess

s4 is feeding again

lmao nice open beta dotards

>Things in 6.88 are the same as things in 7.00

S4 bat LUL

>Techies can beat Treant lategame
No wonder he was removed from captain's mode. You can literally never push into techies now.

>if it wasn't because [denying] was impossible to remove in WC3 we wouldn't have it now.
You could remove denying with literally one checkbox in the world editor.

Valve Quality

lmfao how have i not noticed the placeholder icons for courier? why didnt they just reuse the previous ones?

>ryuboshit casting

How is this blue fish dota related

>wants to play dota2
>don't remember anything
>yeah i tried this game some years ago...
>WTF I have 190 hrs in this

Guys help, I don't want to start and being matched with people already confident with the game (190 hrs...) because I will be rekt, and I also will make my team lose for sure.
I don't member this game, at all, but my library says I have almost 200 hrs.
Any way to start fresh?
It's like the first time for me, really...I need to start from level 1 and learn.
Anyone else happened to be in my same situation before? Do I need to create another steam account ONLY for making an alternative dota2=? no pls

The joke is probably that this is part of the "minimalist" design

WHY IS THE FIRST SKILL AND HP BAR OUT OF THE BLACK STUFF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>someone on my team picks monkey kang
>oh nice a free win
>rushes vanguard
>lose

jakiro
get enough regen and armor ring and go to offlane with another strong offlaner
get dual breath at level one and liquid fire at level two
meme on their carry with your both skills until he leaves the game
get their t1 before minute ten and every other tower before minute twenty
max liquid fire first and dual breath second, skip everything else until you max both
get tranquils and memedrop first, then go for force staff or eul if you have trouble with people jumping on you or veil if you don't

drums blademail atos hurricane is the silencer build now
stats stats utility range and as

play with bots, read patch notes and play in unranked. Start with something simple like support Dazzle and go from there

DOOOOTTTTTAAAAAAAAAARDS GET OUT OF /feg/ REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>he's to shit to play orchid -> bloodthorn monkey king

You still didn't answer what happens when WK gets a MANTA STYLE

Can people see you while you're hopping between trees on Monkey King?
I noticed that creeps tried to attack me for a split second whenever I landed next to them, then fucked off.

dota noob here, who the hell is icefrog and why does it seem like no one can decide whether they hate him or love him

I'd say co-op bot matches, but the AI is absolute shit, especially when it gets stuck on a patrol loop on the rune spots

>WK Manta's out of Orchid
>Last Word
>WK Manta's out of Last Word
>Orchid

people on the internet hate a lot of shit but literally no one hates icefrog

The hero layouts suck ass and I hate this whole 'guides' business.

Why the fuck did they have to try and fix something that wasn't broken?

And what's up with this whole Midas thing? I bought it as Ursa just fucking around and ended up with 21 kills and THREE DIVINE RAPIERS.

they can see you while your jumping, and if they have vision of the trees your jumping on. So if theres an enemy highground ward and you jump to a tree on the low ground, they can see you i believe.

...

Usually not
But you can see faint red circles on the minimap where the ape is hopping

Who cares if he is silenced, he can still hit you friend

why would wraith king get a manta

pink futa cock

>You can target MK as he hops from tree to tree
>Hopping doesn't disjoint projectiles
W is just an upside down M turn your monitor over you fucking nigger

1. it's a beta
2. it will be fixed
3. that's all there is to it

he was the guy that used to balance wc3 doter around 2005.
He's an arab called Abdul Ismail. In 2009 valve supposedly contacted him to make this game. We have no idea if he has anything to do with dota 2 after 6.84d which is the latest version of wc3 dota

...

no thats a w

watching 7.00 feels like watching a meme tournament, like elimination mode

what this fucker said

>Build manta linkens MK
>Linkens block last word
>Manta out orchid
>???
>Lose the game because I built linkens manta on MK
