How the fuck do you report people now

new ability: bristlefront
same shit as bristleback but now works if you got hit in the face

how do you share your announcers and stuff now in match

Anyone got an updated ward placement guide image?

>bristlefront
kek

HEY WHAT ABOUT bristleside

aghs

now grants new skill latch. bristle back can jump onto an ally and let them carry him. enemies hitting the front of the ally hurt bristle instead of the ally

Is Crystal Maiden the cutest hero in Dota land?
These blue eyes and that blonde hair is so cute! I wonder how caressing her skin would feel like

Hmph... You foolsdon't get why TERRORBLADE is the most POWERFUL hero in the universe. Psh. Nothing to worry about, KID. You'll understand one day, when you play against ME.

Anti-Mage or Morphling

>tfw your best heroes aren't meta anymore

Ogre Magi
Earthshaker
Faceless Void

k

Whaat?

>Is Crystal Maiden the cutest hero in Dota land?
It´s windranger faggot

why so dead dotards

normalfag redditors are gone

eurocucks are celebrating christmas and getting drunk

NA shitlords only come here to shitpost during esports

only real gameshitters are here

Its christmas, we are all ingame trying to drown out our suicidal thoughts by playing nonstop

D2g is only ever Alive due to /pol/ posting and everyone is with their families

do people even play this game on the holidays

No.

illusions deal damage to heroes, why wouldnt they be able to demolish buildings? its like a laser, "just light" but can still destroy with sufficient intensity

better question is why can illusions survive beyond the first attack

>NICE FUCKING GAY PATCH VOLVO

dotards?

At least 20% of all dotards are lonely NEETs/robots

all those 20% are currently in-game queuing games back-to-back trying to increase their mmr

>only real gameshitters are here
I am peruvian

they would if there was something christmasy about it
didn't even get a shitty winter map this season
good
lord
valve

No! Stop! I'm not taking 700 more posts of this!

so gameshitters and literal monkeys

ok

Timber.

You idiotic fools... You are never going to reach high mmr!

>he plays puck

>he plays techies

Puck is cute!

>he plays dota2

hello fellow basement dweller
I turn 29 years old this month and look what I got?
Nothing.
I dropped out of college many years ago.
I have no job.No life or work or anything experience.
I look like shit.
IDK how long this will go on but I want it to end.
I wish I have enough courage to end it myself but,fuck it I am pathetic as fuck
DOta have and alway been my only way out.
my future is darker than Enigma black hole but atleast I can Bkb it

tree is still shit

>Why would a hero with a $40 cosmetic be overpowered
really stimulates the neurons

>start doing a neutral camp
>teammate automatically starts trying to compete with me for them

why are dotards such faggots?

based on the strawpolls d2g is like 60% NEET

Best as in the one you play the best/most or the one on top of dotabuff?

>start sucking a juicy dick
>teammate automatically starts trying to compete with me for it

why are dotards such faggots?

tfw I fuckign suck at Nature's Prophet but hes my favorite :(

gameshitters are literal monkeys tho

is 4k mmr high? is 4k mmr good?


I remember when I was 2k mmr. Becoming a 4k God seemed impossible. Now I am 4k and I still feel like a total shitter

mmr, much like any other moba's leagues, tiers or whatever they use, means jack shit

Troll Warlord, Anti-Mage, Faceless Void, Bloodseeker, Ember Spirit.

I like Agility cores with mobility and meme damage.

I placed at 4k. I had like, 700 hours played.

And this was years ago, way before MMR inflation.

If i placed today i'd be at least 4.7k due to that.

6k MMR is approximately "good" territory at this point.

But I kind of second . 99.99999% of players are not going to go pro, so MMR doesn't really matter.

I'm sitting at 4.5k right now. Calculated at 2.7k back in 2014.

What is your current mmr?

>inb4 4200

that's a rare 'tail you've got there 'non

this. 6k is where you can start to claim to be "not shit".

How is this surprising? a single game of Dota last about 40 minutes, only neets would have time to play this game on a regular basis

Loads of the changes of 7.00 were aimed at reducing average game time to no avail, expect more big changes to casualize the game EVEN MORE in order to reducing match time to 30 minutes tops

MMR is literally a win-loss counter after a few hundred hours of playing ranked. Calibration requires money and there are no seasons or regular resets, so the predictive power of MMR has long since decayed.

tfw starting college in february
tfw no more dotos

:-)

It's not bad. It's not good either but it's not entirely bad.

>expect more big changes to casualize the game EVEN MORE in order to reducing match time to 30 minutes tops

Ironic since the only reason games take so long is the memeback rubberband mechanics they added to casualize it to begin with.

If you want games to end faster, then fucking make it possible for people to push highground before 40 minutes.

>NP picker has a bad experience

its a Christmas miracle!

If you don't play for MMR what do you play for?

>hit 3512 mmr today
feels good to finally be 4k

Why the fuck don't Valve introduced ladder seasons to DotA?

>Loads of the changes of 7.00 were aimed at reducing average game time
I dont think so
You look at the big changes and think "yea this should reduce game times by LOADS" but then explain shrines. Got harder to gank mid or push out the suicide lane, and most importantly, uphill defense got boosted the fuck up in this patch, making everyone in a pub game to be at least 3/4 slotted to actually win the fucking thing.
Everyone thought that because of the changes that the game would get faster, but icefruads intent imo was to keep the game length the same. Just some bad numbers made them a bit harder. Wait for shrines to get patched and everything returns back to the average its always been.
