hey dotards!

I NEED NO INTRODUCTION

28 Memes too early
pls respond

>haha muslims are cool guys i promise!

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.

>Hero Name in Progress]
>Q: Reduce MMR of Select player by 1 (30 second cooldown) MMR is stored and released in an AOE when killed
>MMR Stolen 1/2/3/4
>W: (Passive) Increase the amount of MMR stolen by Q by 1/1/2/2 and also steals MMR of all enemies that die in a 100/150/300/500 radius of your hero
>E: Power Within: Consume 10 MMR stolen to obtain a pernament +2/+2/+3/+4 to all stats, if no MMR is available it deducts from your 25/15/10/5 MMR from you.
>R: Rank Up!: Spend all MMR stolen and transfer it to your account by 25%/50%/100% of the amount stolen (Aghs: You gain an additional 100%)
>How's my hero?
Seems good. Since matchmaking and meme-fight meta are so awful, let's just skip everything and create heroes that directly alter your MMR.

delet this

I forgot Sumail had a brother.

With his farming ability right? Especially as a support CK?

>bosses: sure, it's in the contract
>teams: no it's not
>bosses: well you signed and you can't back out now unless you want the next map to be cs_courtbattle

valve should just add an auto ban for people who mass buy sentries

reminder that blitz is a whiny bitch

how come some heroes get shitty boring talents like +8% spell amp or +25% magic resist but others get retarded shit like +200 shukuchi speed

>not even a swastika
yeah that should be a ban

Nerf him plox

>Waaah people should buy wards
>waaah people shouldn't buy wards

?

with a big dick

>not even holding a chord
e-athletes are truly the most frail and delicate things

What about gulags?

>well okay I'll go mid
>ez win
>check dotabuff afterwards because I remember having high winrate with him
>see this
I thought I had like 55% winrate with him or something really makes you think huh

Trying to learn this game.

Why shouldnt I get dagon on Storm Spirit and murder the enemy before the taunt ends?

What if greevil's greed worked in reverse? As in, you'd get much more gold when getting your first last hit, but then progressively less and gold until you'd start getting much less than a normal CS?

get out now while you're ahead

>be solo queue
>get matched against chink 5stack
>team decides to random because fuck it
>we random chen and meepo

The match did not end at throne

I hate iceforog's ganky teamfight meta.

Are there any heroes still good at ratting or afk ricing? I just want to relax and kill towers and last hit.

Then you would exclusively play alch as a support.

too late for me. I've already found fun in this.

I can feel myself sinking time into this already

>cs:go drama
>Valve managed to fuck up their 2 biggest games in the span of 1 month

But at least they still have steam right?

7.05

>every hero now starts as a loli/shota and grow up every level (like Grow but for every level)
there I just fixed the game

7.06b

all heroes are now sluts

How to fix Doom

>Level 25 Talent Options replaced
Option A: Active abilities stolen from creeps using Devour now deals twice as much damage, have half the cooldown, and no longer have a cast point.
Option B: Passively grants Doom a seperate instance of bonus magic damage on his rightclicks based on 50% of his INT.

>Level 20 Talent Options buffed
Option A: +75 attack damage
Option B: 30 HP regen

because mana is everything on the hero, and dagon costs more mana than it gives and gives 0 regen
you may get a kill or two that you otherwise wouldnt have, but it will never save your life and whenever you die you will always think ''fuck I wish I had more manareg/as/hp/a silence/a dispell/a bkb''
storm is kind of simple, ideally rush bloodstone because it makes you tanky and gives many mana, allowing you to zip alot, which means farming, survivability and potentially more charges (very good), or orchid rush, which gives dmg, a silence, a dmg amp and AS (alot of your dmg post laning stage comes from overcharge proccs and if you dont have AS then this is much slower)
if game is REALLY hard then get a euls scepter to dispell silences, but only do this if you are desperate
dont be afraid to go into full farming mode in order to finish core items, storm gets a huge powerspike whenever he finishes an item, just make sure you never build useless shit. get a bkb if you need one, get a linkens if you need one, and get a hex if you need one.
so tl;dr decide on bloodstone or orchid first item (usually bloodstone and then use it to farm orchid into bkb or bkb into orchid, but sometimes you can snowball of orchid rush)
thats the simplest way to put it
oh and dont go dagon

7.08

except Crystal Maiden

why not just bump ancient eating to 20 instead?

Let's see what happens

"""Maiden"""

I see, and it all makes sense. Thank you for the answer

One last question, why does my zip sometimes kill enemy heros when I pass through them and sometimes not?

That fucker is really fun

>Lvl 25 Talent: Doom can devour heroes

I fixed doom guys.

Not yet, you still have to play a trash hero for the first 24 levels

guys King arthur's gold is on sale for 2.50. is the game good I've had my eye on it a long time. sorry no friends so I'm asking you

>Lvl 25 talent: Doom's ult closes the target's game client and gives them a 5 minute ban

I fixed Doom guys

i dont know

>two slippers of agility give +6 agility
>two slippers of agility + stout shield makes a poor man's shield

>band of elvenskin gives +6 agility
>one band of elvenskin + stout shield DOESN'T make a poor man's shield

uhm....... dotards??

No, this is the wonderful team owners that aren't in dota. In this instance, some people, even richard fucking lewis of all people wants valve to come in and stop this shit. Its mostly just everyone from lol being greedy motherfuckers who prefer to have exclusivity because they could give a fuck about having good competition as long as it makes them more money.
The funny thing is for some reason there are casual esports fans who care more about their favorite team who is shit tier than people who care about watching the best players in the world play the game. Also these retards usually bring along retarded franchising.

>tfw games of dota stress you out
How do I relax more in Dota, guys?
Every game always feels so tense for me. Is it because I'm a carry player?

Good patch

7.08b

Anime is now a life-time bannable offense on /d2g/ and will result in the direct loss of 5,000 MMR.

Steam accounts are now linked through Facebook/Telephone numbers.

Steam Names display your phone number when you play to promote better behavior amongst players.

7.09

launching dota from peru activates a nuclear warhead to be launched at your location

what if i'm under 5000 mmr

The damage dealt is relative to the distance traveled up to that point.

depends on how far you travel and the level on your ult. I recommend you fool around in a private lobby with cheats on and see how far you can get on what level and with what items. if you didnt already know, you can attack while zipping to get a procc on someone, pop a remnant (land in front of them/on top of them), hit again for new procc, make mini zip and then hit again, then use vortex(your W) and hit, and then another remnant for hit, and whatever zip zapping you need to finish them off. this depends on your level in vortex of course, and if they have escape mechanisms/disables to stop you with.
usefull cheats are
-wtf (0 cooldowns and manacost on all spells
-unwtf (exactly what you think it does)
-lvlup 1 to 25 (levels up your hero as much as you want
-gold *number* (gives amount of gold
-createhero *hero name* (spawns allied hero)
-createhero *hero name* enemy (spawns enemy hero
-lvlup bots 1-25 or -levelup bots 1-25 I dont remember (levels the bots)
if you need more commands just google dota 2 cheat commands or something and you should find several lists
if you are unable to spawn a specific hero then try to find their name on one of those lists, some of the names are wonky

I recommend practicing on not wasting ANY overcharge proccs if possible, since mana is precious and the dmg is very high in the early and midgame, and often the difference in a kill or a failed gank

>they start as porn characters
That would be a bizarre move for Valve, who barely allows lewd VNs on their service.

some more notes
always get soulring and bottle
you can use items and abilites while ultying, so you can use bottle, soul ring or wand mid ult if you need the juice, or instant vortex that annoying anti mage ricing your jungle or spawn remnant on top of someone

>if you need more commands just google dota 2 cheat commands or something and you should find several lists
dota2.gamepedia.com/Cheats This page is a good reference.

7.09b

New Hero "God Emperor" Donald Trump added.

>he doesn't know about the dota 2 VN
:^)

7.10
servers are officially shut down

Two slippers are cheaper and therefor worthy of the name "Poor Man's"
A Band of Elvenskin would defeat the purpose of being a shield for a poor man

>Option A: Active abilities stolen from creeps using Devour now deals twice as much damage, have half the cooldown, and no longer have a cast point.
But most of the neutral creep abilities either do low damage or no damage at all.
Rather than increase the damage to 200%. Just make it so all active neutral abilities do +200 damage.

I see, thank you

I was aware I could use items (like eul's or dagon, that's why I tought it was a good idea to get one on him) but not that I could use my other basic ablities)

I didn't knew dota2 had a sandbox like gamemode, that's useful as fuck, I was just playing hour long games with bots on Hard to practice stuff like combos or shit

thank you very, very much.

7.11
servers are enabled again, but only for pinoys, peruvians, and russians

>tfw valve is actually going to leave the CS at the top-left of the UI forever
>tfw valve is also going to leave the shop fucked forever and never revert their shitty changes

7.02

Ah shit oh no it was just a prank, bro here's 6.89!!!!

IT WAS JUST A PRANK AH CMON DUDE LOOK, LOOK HERE'S 6.89!!

What happens if you put pinoys, russians and peruvians in one game? ;thinking;

>340 damage chain lightning with 2 second cooldown and no cast point
wew lad

you just make a lobby and check the ''cheats on'' options, bots are optional
you can have friends join the lobby with you if you want, so you can test different interactions or just mess around with invoker and try to hit a treant blinking around in wtf mode with sunstrike

>my computer turned on by itself
Spooky

I will waste way too many hours on this.

thank you.

What if Doom COULD eat heroes though at lvl 25, and it acted like Devour did in WC3? With them still alive, and able to be freed if you killed Doom, but they would otherwise slowly hp % dmg.
Ignore the vore implications here.

>americans waking up
>thread quality goes down the shitter

every fucking day

>troll priest heal becomes the greatest griefing tool known to man

dont thank me
seriously, don't

>>americans waking up
>it's fucking midnight in america
that's some quality bait right there

>americans waking up
>1 am
nice meme kiddo
It's prime time in ausland though

>waking up at night
>implying this isn't high quality australian shitposting

who is the babe in that picture?

so whats your problem?

>import Muslim refugees en masse
>Get slaughtered by trucks of peace

I like early morning threads
they're a mix of ameriNEETS that havent gone to bed yet, productive europoors being helpfull and aussies doing their shitposting while taking a morning dump

It's a trap, don't bother

So what were you guy's favorite WC3 rpgs?

why are there so many fucking feeders in 3k

the second your team hints at losing they just give up and start INTENTIONALLY losing, feeding and not playing the game by just fucking around sitting in jungle/base buying couriers/sentries

Things gleaned from 7.00 thus far by a shitter:
Slark is a cunt, played by c u n t s.
Veno is a bigger cunt and still one of the best picks.
Ck: Feels a lot better, still toying with builds, considering echo hotd next time around.
Jaqueero: Relevant for at least a meta or two, fun to play.
Overall: Farming is dead, better get your retard team to start meme fighting as five or you are fucked, good luck getting a pinoy or a Peru to not be a pussy or the retard always o u t of position.
Oh and valve hates customers unless you are new customers and eventually you will be permabanned for saying mean things fuck your huds and loading screens here's $20 terrain goyim buy it.

alright now you really to tell me

ain't pinoys the only one capable of speaking English among the faggots you mentioned?

do you guys like kpop... i dont really but i pretend to so i can fit in... seulgi iu etc...

the final fantasy one, you know the good one not the bad one

universe in a game with sumail atm

If they lose "on purpose" because someone else was already going to lose then it wasn't really their fault can't you see how good I am if it weren't for you shitters I would be at my true mmr.

Only 9 inches?
