>hack players inventories and frame your competitor for "scamming"

>valve security either so worthless, or the company so corrupt and sold-out to chinks, that they allow a fucking external account to abuse an API like this for so long, never detecting the abuse.

>also allowing fucking external requests outside their corporate/secure network to do things like manipulate items in players inventories and accounts, literally tens of thousands of dollars sometimes.

this is literally the biggest scandal in esports history and nobody fucking cares

it was dropped at the holiday season (almost as if to be swept under the rug) and reddit is ignoring it

fuck this shit

...

>I dont like the new UI

nth for 7.00 is the worst meta in dota history

>AAHHHH GRILL

>you'll never plot the destruction of dota with her after a day at the beach

>carries cucked
>dead thread

rmyt

>implying (You) would ever go to the beach

>animeNEETs triggered by carries

>further confirming that anime addicts are almost always cuckports

Holy shit. She's the reason CDEC managed to get 2nd at TI5

>carries in dota 701

>hey your game's been hacked open for years and most of the big results from your yearly championship are invalid, over 5 million dollars stolen

>Enemy Invoker using the Euls script combo
>Fucks it up constantly because we have a silencer
>Rage quits before we win

lmao

How much mmr have you won today user?
49 reporting in

>playing the game

What is this biggest scandal thing? I have no idea what's happening

what is the appropriate build for support venge or core venge?

As a support I usually go glimmer into force staff. Honestly, glimmer and force staff are all I ever buy on supports these days. You are just too squishy to not have a escape of some sort and usually one is never enough.

Someones been screwing over the American dota player, guess who?

Eh. I'm fine with the response. The lack of doing anything of note for over a month is troubling though.

peru?

captcha: guerrero laraza

>le balanced man of no required introductions in every single match
>wrecks faces when on the enemy team
>is complete garbage when on mine

uhmm, doturds...?

Russia?

>rush basher after echo on THE KANG
>instantly win game
>people still manage to fuck it up
uhhh, dotards?

yasha into manta usually if youre trying to be core, but desolator is hands down the best bang for your buck as venge

aghs hilarious and great on all builds

What items should I be getting as a witch doctor?

mana boots glimmer aghs

ring of repick

Wards then back in the shed

treads dominator take the damage talent and dominate the mana regen creep then aghs

t. baby duck

witchdoctor is the most ALPHA support, this is a well known fact
he forces you to look at it go every time
look at it go as in his semen in your pigfat wife

>viper is offlane and sniper loses against le tricky man mid

what is my life

I can't recognize any of these heros
what the FUCK did they do to dota

check out the new amazing hud and try laning vs monkey king for real dota experience

where were you when last 3 years of competetive DotA results was kill

You're in luck user, these are less dogshit cosmetics that you can still recognize the hero with!

combination of overpriced shitty sets that you rarely see together

rubick has 2 particularly shitty ass fucking sets

you're a retard then

the only one hard to recognize in that picture is sven

Quack quack

>he picked DE DUSK ;DDDD

>Spirit breaker with literally default skin and looks very much alike to it's dota 1 model

councilor's raiments is the best rubick set, prove me wrong

you can't

i don't remember dragon knight having a blue set though

None are good, except my homebrew combination, scrub shitballs.

Why isn't reddit going onto this scandal? They were all over Puppey being an asshole

this meme died two years ago

redditors are liberals
liberals do only what they are told
So when chink teams have been cheating for 3 years, thats totes fine
I also like how they want to blame things on "stolen api key" rather than Valve just being a corrupt shit organization

...

Because that was funny.

never mind the previous comment,there are 6 fucking LE TRICKY JESTER MAN sets now

these item creators need to kill themselves

fantocinis's enema looks espeially like shit

literally our girl

he is fucking shit this patch

Nth for legion is useless

Conservatives would have killed dota because they wouldn't allow anyone outside America to play.

that game was fairly trivial

is techies op in this meta?

legion looks fine
sure she doesn't necessarily scale the best, but shes fine
Why didn't she duel the snipes?

Hello satan.

yes please tell me how the screaming hordes of third worlders are keeping this game """alive"""

>*tips fedora*

>have damage
>dont have any form of health/armor item whatsoever aside from the 350hp from aghs
nice trench satan

DUDE HEADPHONES LMAO

>deso + satanic
this is sub 1k mmr

200k whiners calling heroes by the color instead of name are going to keep this game alive?

wow no u dumbass they are not orbs anymore lmao ur so fucking silly

>2 urns
>games looks 1 hour+, max networth is 30k
this shit must be under 1k mmr

What if there was a hero that got permanently got +1 armour every time an enemy hero died near him?

Artour Meepo

>the people spending money on the game aare going to keep this game alive?
truly a question for the ages

or lifesteal

literally thresh

we got a meeps game lads

you might be mentally handicapped

>literally no teamfight winner, extreme single target disables or autistic no escape stun like an enigma fucking you in the ass

how is this guy so bad to lose with literal 2 rapier legion in a game tailored for him

??
he's facing chain fucking stuns
SB stuns pierce bkb
Obviously you can see a big part of the problem in that he still has fucking threads but no lifesteal

Thoughts on QoP offlane?

Is that a thing and if yes - when is it good?

Haven't touched Dota since the new patch dropped, which champs became metacancer?

Secret had a huge fanbase there. Everyone knew and enjoyed every player. The scandal was so sweat because it spearheaded puppey and absolutely destroyed him, people knew he was a dick but not insane in such a hilarious way.
Whats happening right now shows how little english speakers care about chinese teams. Everyone its about is a literal who, so who cares if they're theives. They didnt win first place so who cares about over 5 million dollars.

So be happy the the scandal was on the front page for a couple hours. Be happy it dropped down to #41 today. Forget about it. Valve wants you to, and reddit happily obliged. Forget about it like Halloween or Christmas or New Years. Instead focus your energy on getting hyped about the Spring compendium. Get super hyped about the Chinese New Year event. Its gonna be big! Eat shit like a good dotard.

it used to be shit
don't know anymore

none. everything is a clusterfuck. supports are carrying, carries are running around collecting runes, shit is everywhere, healing fountains everywhere.

its trash. theres no meta or strategy anymore.

luna is the best safelane carry in the game
SD+luna is suicide-tier game breaking
monkey king is pretty good but people just suck at playing against him, I dont think hes OP

early fight/team utility heros win games now. Underlord and necrophos for example

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.

silver edge disables bash
it applies break

he has BKB for CK's stun and eulls and hallebeard

there is nothing that can touch him and fuck him hard
counterattack might still compensate for his autistic lacks in lifesteal

thats a big doggo

In human–computer interaction, baby duck syndrome denotes the tendency for computer users to "imprint" on the first system they learn, then judge other systems by their similarity to that first system. The result is that "users generally prefer systems similar to those they learned on and dislike unfamiliar systems". The issue may present itself relatively early in a computer user's experience, and has been observed to impede education of students in new software systems.

>silver edge disables bash
and how do you apply it to a spirit breaker charging you out of his own silver edge?
also how do you apply it to said spirit breaker while dueling someone?

Meepos broken as all heck

?????
He's facing a CK
CK hits SO fucking hard
He built no armor, no lifesteal, etc
CK will kill him in 3 seconds flat

so why do people think RTZ is a good player when he has never won anything relevant and winning teams turn into losing teams when he joins them? do people really think pubs are a good representation of actual skill in dota or is it just blind fangayism?

meepo used to be hard

he's miles better than scrubs like us
>good at dota(compared to us)
>can get a gf

>RTZ practicing meepo

will EG win TI8?

wait
one second

did any of rurus teams ever eliminate secret

meepo was never hard, the only people who thought he was were shitters incapable of using more than 4 buttons at a time

>this disgusting lol meta where games are over by 10 minutes with everyone lvl 20

hello dotards?

Does Jerax have a smurf? I want to watch his replays because nostream but his main account is idle. Also-

>4/5 players in OG haven't played a single game in 2 weeks
>Only Ana playing 10+ games a day
I know it's christmas but fuck, that's not good.

Meepo nerfs incoming. Oh well. He had a good run. I bet icefrog watches rtc pubs
