Dota 2 General - /d2g/

Friendly reminder Icefrog got fired and Valve themselves are maintaining Dota.

That's the only way you can explain the abomination that is 7.00.

>this will be the only thread for the rest of the day until some time midnight
how long before /csgog/ tier dead?

shit

>le free MMR meme

No shit your rank is gonna go up if you finally pick heroes that aren't agility carries.

The only way you will ever climb consistently through picking is to be good with multiple heroes, period.

What the fuck happened to csgo? Didn't they average more twitch viewers than league at one point?

>post on d2g
>Thread dead as fuck

>Post on /a/ or /v/ weeb thread
>Drown in youvotes because anime addicts have no self control and will reply to ANYTHING

>TA
Pretty fucking bad

Case opening strims got shut down

It's legit pick
>He starts casting
>Can't stay and fight cuz it comes back

Valve killed gambling which got rid of about 75% of the playerbase.

>le epic dondo pudge on Zais stream
Has there ever been a more washed up eSportsman?

The skin hype is over, gambling is dead, so all golds/silvers left the game

...

Surely they should be joined together

What's the new meta?

Post heroes with exactly zero (0) counters.

57% win rate on THIS IS A GAME THAT TWO CAN PLAY

LMAO HE GOT REKT THAT FUCKING TP

>43%
Used to win only every 3rd game when i was learning him, was like 25-30% but now im improving
>7.00 he got dunked

HOT and cold

Only 60% on Visage, it dropped quite a bit right after 7.00 because le balanced primate and the forced 50 meme. Drove my winrate up with some other heroes though, apparently the game coordinator thinks picking a micro hero means you're willing to babysit idiots and that you need to be babysitted if you pick an easier one.
I'm proud of my high winrate on Tiny though.

cm and witch doctor

>tfw you will never get good enough to not play support

What the fuck happened to dota? Didn't they average more twitch viewers than league at one point?
hmm what does csgo and dota 2 have in comon

Is Crystal Meth the most commonly used drug in Dotaland? I mean these heroes cant do the their performance without enhancing their endurance and increasing their performance with this drug. But hell, its a bitch of a drug compared to Lysergicaciddiethylamide

dota is not dropping in views m8 we just have shitton of tournaments and 1/2 of dotards watch games in client not on twitch
.

Shut up hick and protect your precious white race.

i found something interesting about dota strategy.

one of the more challenging aspects of the game is dealing with 5 man deathballs that leave you with no breathing room.
while usually people say "just splitpush,just ward" it barely works in actuality.
its just a baby tier strategy to deal with 5 mans.
the thing is with 5 man dota is that they never break off, they always stick as a one group unless they are back to defend towers.

one of the best way to deal with 5 man is to send a decoy on the map to distract the enemy, don't send your main carry to splitpush like an idiot. i know there is a temptation to do that but if your carry gets killed its game over.

most 5 man deathballs are reactionary retards that are easy to drag around the map, just show a support somewhere and make everyone rotate to gank him. it will buy you at least 2 minutes of farm which is a ton for a carry that can't leave his base

>m-muh client!!

No. Doturd is standing with one foot in the grave right now. 7.00 was the worst decision Valve has *ever* made in regards to this game, the playerbase has tanked and more people are leaving every week. Even these generals last all fucking day now and need to be bumped at specific times, when before we'd go through four or five a day, minimum.

One of the best in the world.

I'm not making that up.

Its because no one plays my favorite hero

>dota is literally deaD
LMAO

You have to realise that dota will never die
It's been around for years and it will be there

...

I guess a lot of d2g and the playerbase were third worlders who can't play the game until performance improves

>Monkey King has 1800 damage nuke
>6 minutes in to the game

What did Icefrog mean by this balance decision?

>cropping out the 50k it went down in november
>specifically including the 4k it gained in a huge patch month
(you)

thanks for your 2k insights, friend

that meth is the true patrician drug

>muh total playercount!

1 thirdie != 1 Euro/American

people leave and come back all the time
just wait for the next TI and see playerbase
All in all you can't say it's standing one foot in the grave with 880k online players

Dota 2 lost about 300k players since 7.00

its lost 20% of its playerbase since TI
what the fuck are you on

>half of which are SEAmonkies or chinks

>go to zai strim
>listening to lil ugly mane
nice

>le dota was always le white game meme.
That has always happened since TI2

I'm vasectomized and do NOT want any kids. EVER.

Yes. I'm white.

Kids are shit. I'm glad Loda decided not to have any.

>can't even read a graph
it literally was for a long time
reminder that slavs are white

Remember the three hundred thousand you inconsiderate fuck.

CM is a bad hero. think again before picking.

i see players at 6k games bottled in their base for 10-20 minutes every time and it kills my desire to watch the game
you know why 5 man dota always works? because teams are taking shitty trades like t1 for t2 when they are behind and they have to teleport as 5 to defend so the division of resources is terrible and they are left behind either way

Can confirm I'm 5k scum

A CELESTIAL BODY!

Unf

Where the fuck is barnyyy

he's been streaming under his alias CLQ a lot

shut up no one remembers you

Just got 24 hour ban for abandoning too many games? What do now?

How long has it even been since barny streamed?

Any of you guys play vainglory?

?

Yes

I hate the recent update they did, it ruined the minion buff system it had before that was fine

Use white privilege to get it removed.

What did he mean by this?
Do I really have to verify the game cache everytime I boot it?

>55% winrate
Yeah he don't know shit. He was autoattacking creeps as a pro player back in 2007. The chinks had to invent last hitting. He ought to be ashamed of himself for being such a low IQ faggot.

The new Atos is probably the biggest buff an item has ever received in this game.

It was already a super solid tanking up item for int cores and the best Linken's popper in the game but the rooting is just fucking broken now.

>2 seconds root
>projectile can be disjointed

zzz

This patch really killed the game didn't it.

Morphling shotgun can be disjointed but you're complaining that he's OP

Remember the 300k that left.

ITT: Baby ducks and Starcrumps

Rubick.

I'd say im actually really good, it's always fun to play him and rush aghs

>play offlane
>get bullied, ganked, denied farm
>go around tp ganking a couple times
>somehow my safelane carry has the same gpm as me
every
fucking
time

>you're complaining he's OP

?

silences and bkb piercing disables are his weakness and high physical damage fucks him pretty hard
he is also antimage level squishy if he doesn't go for sny skadi build
but yeah, i agree, he is pretty versatile and actually good at everything carry should do

/d2g/ has always said that morphling is OP

>tfw doing that with the last pack of noodles.

What's a baby duck?

well, there is a point in his words, she is worst babysitter in the game and there are plenty of roamers that can make more impact when played by high-level players and her ult is iffy at best
still my favorite support and second most played hero

DIE

I thought zai's music was the sound of jakiro's wings flapping

Nah

I don't speak for /d2g/.

I don't have a favourite hero

I pick whatever my team needs and just keep on being sad with it

why do some fucking autists feel the need to narrate everything that's happening in-game over voice chat.

shut the fuck up, holy shit.

I love Soe

no ICEpath is this the build?

Meepo 70% wr. But he's too gimmicky. Alch is my second most played but I don't like him so much anymore because the pros played him too much and it feels like he's low skill. I need a high skill farming based hero to feel good about to mark as my favourite

>that fucking feel
I just wanna know what it feels like to rice for once in my life.

the worst are the people that will call you by your color rather than hero. especially when they're all-chatting. it's the most LMAO wHO cARES? thing you can do and I know they only do it to protect their egos and pretend like this game doesn't matter to them when it's probably the only thing they have going for them in their lives.

i debate throwing the game any time my teammates do it. it's fun to watch these people have a meltdown.

r8

shut up brown
