Dota 2 General - /d2g/

Sheever @SheeverGaming
Hope everyone has a good Christmas Day no matter how you spent it!!

alright fags
teach me how and when to rubick

Haha, shiet if I inow nigga, damn! Haha! Shiiet. Depends on the game I guess? Haha, shieet son, haha how would I know haha? Shiet haha mang haha i dont know haha!

Haha! Damn mang like 3 sec blink cooldown haha sounds pretty good haha! But haha! Damn haha! Gotta say 25 agi sounds pretty good too. Haha! But at the same time, 3s blink cooldown is pretty good. Haha! I'd say you can get the cooldown if they've got no way to stop you from blinking Haha! Haha! So haha! Then you can escape easily and do anything you want in fights. Haha! If they've got roots and shit and stuff you could get agi. Otherwise haha, the cooldown haha!!! reduc is better haha!

not bad but where's the cheese

u wot

...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, /d2g/!

by the time you hit 25 you should already have an array of items that give you all the offensive advantage you need

on the other hand, the later stage of the game is much more lethal, and having -2s cooldown on blink can make or break your escape or chase, specially if you consider how that seemingly minor cooldown difference starts adding up in a fight, rat or chase

nice christmas you dumb loser

>christmas
>not snowing

I turned on my AC today

>enemy Meepo goes 16-2
>level 25 at 26 minutes

>3k MMR

fucking boosters

>Decide to play some Arc Warden
>You have to be ahead to not be shit
>You have to itemise perfectly
>You have to make sure your team can start fights so your clone can kill off backliners
>Also you have to win your lane

And even then you don't guarantee you win, you just make it like a normal hero.

Q: Create a radius 400 force vortex that pulls enemies 100 units towards its center, then a radius 150 spike erupts, stunning and dealing damage.
W: Drains life from the surroundings, dealing damage divided evenly among all enemy units in a 900 radius around you and healing you by that much. The cooldown is halved if your mana pool is over 50% full.
E: Shares your fortitude with nearby allies, granting 15%/20%/25%/30% damage reduction and 10% missing HP regeneration. The bonuses are reduced by 10% for every 10% HP you are missing.
R: Generic long range jump that slows in an AoE. But like really long because it's an ultimate.

>Decide to play some Earth Spirit
>You have to be ahead to not be shit
>You have to itemise perfectly
>You have to make sure you start fights perfectly so your team can followup
>Also you have to win all the lanes

And even then you don't guarantee you win, you just make it like a normal hero.

#schoolsout #noparentsallowed

"Maining" is frowned upon but if I play too many heroes I don't think it'll help in the long run to be slightly less mediocre at all of them.

So how many should I focus on playing? 2-3 per role?

>mfw I play luna or sf every game

>per role

It gets to the point where you play a role and just play heroes relevant to that role instead of trying to be better at a pool of heroes.

Why learn to be a mediocre carry/mid/support/offlane when you can learn to be a good X and recognize all heroes that are suited for that role in whatever draft you need.

How do I play KotL vs LIFESTEALER, TEMPLAR ASSASSIN, BEASTBASTARD AND UNDYING?

baby cuck syndrome

Ender, the Land Master

Heavenly Palm, Active Q -
>Ender strikes the earth, raising a pillar of terrain by 1 level within a 425 AoE for 3/4/5/6 seconds and deals 100/150/200/250 damage. The terrain applies all elevation differences such as vision, high-ground evasion and fog of war. The pillar can connect to similar level terrain. Destroys trees.

Aghanim's Scepter Upgrade -
>Hammer is now a global ground targeted ability.

zeroth the reddit one

You should be able to play at least ten heroes adequately.

Keep in mind that you don't NEED to counter in trench tier, but it can make matches immensely easier. Enemy Pudge actually has decent aim? Undying and Visage will happily take him in a fight. PA, Slark and Blood in every game? Try Wraith King.

our girl is streaming

You don't care because it's not your job to go head to head against them.

this hero feels like edgy animeme hit and run type of guy

Nice patch, dotards.

>tfw going up on mmr because of the new hud

thanks based gaben, I'll be dropping 50$ on hats as a thanks

He goes by Slarknigmophus and he's

Ghost scepter and a tp scroll.

>mrw Super Smash DotA 7 patch is here to stay

>tfw Adelaide isn't here on Christmas

fuck george michaels

merry christmas /d2g/

>4 Christmas dinners
>4 days in a row
>In 3 cities roughly 2 hours from each other
>When I finally get back to my apartment a guest is over for 2 days

Kill me please

HOW do people lose to pudge mid?

how???

hopefully it got perm banned

>NICE FUCKING GAY PATCH VOLVO

dotards?

Autistic one-track mind focused on getting last hits instead of positioning.

>the basement dweller had to get out of his avatar fagging to attend the Holiday

I hope he chokes on the tender

>earth spirit
>itemise perfectly
>have to be ahead to not be shit
git good you scrub. ES needs no gold, he only needs exp. the only items ES needs are force staff and urn, others such as veil and blink are considered luxuries. also, it is better for ES to counter-initiate rather than being the main initiator for your team.

Adelaide is with me right now.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZpnG1NZdDgo

Damn did you write that song yourself?

>implying
ES is the best fucking hero to play when you are losing, his chain stun grantees any kill, and his ult is a huge hg defense, you are just a bad at the game

retards

>get zoned out of lane
>TP to shrine on other side of map
>heal up and gank that lane
If you succeed at doing this it's almost guaranteed to make the enemy tilt.

You totally debunked those statements user, just like /pol/

read the thread retard

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.

I hope you aren't still building damage items on Ember dotards

gee, you totally showed me how retarded I am.

You replied to a post making fun of someone else, you dumb shits.

>be melee
>enemy laner is ranged
>they can hit you
>but you can't hit them
???????

nice artifacts you dumb fag

>not spending the first ten minutes of the game annoying the enemy with right clicks

it rained in Goodeurope today

>tfw harassing offlaner out of XP range as Oracle with Drow aura

Really now, can't we all just get along here? There are two equally farm vacuum ways to lose with ember now instead of 1. That is progress.

maining is only "frowned upon" as disinfo by people who want to keep others from finding out it is the most effective way to grind MMR

Who's George Michael?

Dazzle.

what compels you to go onto the internet and tell lies

is lich good or bad

some homosexual no name who

My versatility stat is at NINE POINT THREE (9.3) and I'm going to immediately ignore every other shitters' opinion about this unless their vers is over nine.

Lore wise this is basically Elder Titan but aside from that this is literally impossible without MASSIVE mechanical reworks to the entire game engine.

Mine is at 3.6 despite randoming every single game because Dota has decided that random should only pick from a pool of 5 heroes 90% of the time.

I feel like EE would be the type of anime autist who would lose to Pudge mid

>called lone druid
>fights alongside a bear
checkmate dotards

the bear is like a physical manifestation of his autism or something

they are the same person

it's not really a bear, just his tulpa
he's actually truly alone
