nth for this game is ruined, see you in 7.1

>random peruvian no name who fixes one match
>banned for life

>manager of half of the teams in china exploits API, hacks player inventories, frames other company, and takes home over 5 million in prize pools
>no punishment whatsoever, not even acknowledgement of the event

really makes you wonder

duckposting is fun

you can do it on literally any board too and really trigger people

reminder that we will get a performance patch before chinese holidays

mid wasn't easy enough
they needed a free fountain and "pity" runes....

>youvotes are back

Non-shitposters/memers BTFO

on the whole Veeky Forums is really stupid about knowing the things that defines them

or they get triggered and start calling them buzzwords because they have no way to argue against them

dunning kruger effect and baby duck syndrome are probably two of the most common

though addiction to supernormal stimuli is also very common

Can you still purge yourself with a hotd creep or did it go the way of diffusal blade


Annual income from the entire country of peru: $67

Annual income from china: more than NA and EU combined

Source?

and the peruvian was only match fixing so they could feed their family

Valve bans the whole south america from pro-dota
good of them... suck more chink dick valve..

>I liked the old UI which obstructed everything

>referencing Veeky Forums in third person

calling it Veeky Forums is way more 4chanian than using >we

peruvians have more in common with monkeys than with humans. who gives a fuck what happens to them

I have not played since patch 5.40. How much has the game changed? Will I recognize it?

dota2.com/news/updates/23825/

I'd rather play with 1 million peruvians than some useless whiny english speaking betamale hillary voter

Do you like my Magnum Opus /d2g/?

no, i strongly dislike dota

If anyone thought this way peruvians wouldnt be running away from their servers to play with a shittier connection just for the chance to play with a few white people.

Even peruvians know just how fucking awful they are

Will IO ever get any cosmetics?

Wait

Deep down do thirdies know how subhuman they are

Is that the takeaway from peruvians refusing to use their sever with less than half the ping of US servers

icefrog would never let his game look like shit

those buff icons made me wonder
what if dota was an mmorpg

oh man that'd be one bad game
but it'd be interesting
like surgery gone wrong

>144 damage at level 25

...

...

It's a known fact the only reason Peruvians insist playing on US servers is to avoid playing with other Peruvians, which is ironic since USEast is pretty much a Peru server with higher latency

whos the ronda of dota

Arteezy

would you eat her cheese, /d2g/?

So are they eventually gonna do something to change the UI? At least have legacy mode. Because they made dozens, if not hundreds of custom HUDs dysfunctional. Literally wasting people's money.

>Reading the Version 7 changelog to see what happened while I was gone
What the fuck is this shit?

>ok thanks

Shrines
Talent Trees
UI change that ruined everybody's HUDs unless they were made by Valve themselves
Some item changes
CARRY Lich
Thats about it

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.

Did they finally fix the custom UIs?

take a good look at the (de)buffs first

How to fix 7.0:
>revert the rune changes (too much free gold/exp for supports)
>revert the jungle spawn timer change (except for ancients)
>nerf shrines
>actually put effort into the talents instead of dumb bullshit like "DUDE +50 damage for supports lmao" and other arbitrary nonsense clearly done by Valve interns
>[insert obligatory hero nerfs/buffs here]

Would make the meta less of a "five man every game" meme.

delet this immediately

>carries cucked
>dead thread

rmyt

who is the rousey of defence of the ancients two (2) ?

GOLEM GET YE GONE

rtc

how to fix 7.0:

>roll back to 6.88
>fire whoever they hired to designed the UI
>Blacklist him from ever working in the videogame industry again
>implement everything in 7.00 except the UI, Shop, jungle bounties, and talents
>make map changes to fix the radiant advantage a top priority

>when you decide to play your favorite hero no matter what your team comp
>tfw going fucking ham

Jesus that was a blow out.

is that the whole fight?

>NA sleeping

hmmmm...
really makes you think.

i get better games between 1am-8am

>Juggernaut and Shadow Fiend are the main characters of DotA.
It's basically a Samurai Jack rip off, desu.

>Juggernaut and Shadow Fiend are the main characters of DotA.
Proofs?

Hey /d2g/ what do you think about carry Winter Wyvern? She farms really well and her aghs upgraded Q gives her permanent 1000+ range with flying so you never get caught out and are harder to reach than a sniper. She also has a decent +40 damage talent.

>she

Yes

can someone post that bloodthorn morphling comic

"Proof" is a patriarchal construct designed to perpetuate male-dominated cultural establishments.

why has valve allowed so many different sets that fuck up a hero's color scheme or mess with their silhouette or are just too garish and flashy or don't mesh with the game's art style to be added to the game?

are there any non male-dominated cultures?

...

Okay, hear me out.
What if a hero could not kill, be killed, or receive gold, but could gain experience?
Now what if that hero didn't exist as a unit, but more like a "god" type role, like an RTS, with global range?
What if this hero could give your team more gold, strong buffs, brief vision in a small area, and new abilities to be able to use in combat on their own accord to account for the fact they're essentially 4v5?
Like, you can interact with your team but nothing else, except gain experience as your team gains experience.

This idea could probably be used to grief, though. This is what happens when I think about stuff.

>muh non triggered safe space

youre the same as them

WHY IS CLQ NOT OUR GUY ANYMORE?

daily reminder that less than 4% of dota players are female
>:(

Why aren't there any girls who are good at DotA?
>Sheever
I meant good enough to be pros.

women are to intelligent to play dota

My guess would be most women are too busy leeching off of child support from the bad decisions they've made to actually git gud at something.

too intelligent to win elections too lol

Someone tell me what is wrong with Chaos knight?
>free stats
>retardedly high dps
Just don't pick him into an aoe team and you're fine
>beats AM
>beats pa
Literally just build a silver edge against people like AM, PA, Viper. Stealth to at least get your ult off
>piercing Rift for those pesky bkbs
>illusions now scale with attack speed nullifying armlet as well thanks to the stat gain
>echo blade is an item

doesnt farm
long ass cd on being able to fight

u can't farm anymore

doesn't farm? I can get some asy farm in a safelane with decent trilane supports/singular support
As for the team fight you got me there i guess, i usually just roam and look for ganks or play it safe until his ult is up.

im not saying hes a trash hero but on that farm aspect compare him to like a luna, his flash farm in particular the jungle camps is just so weak

How many more years do you think Dota, and through connection, /d2g/, has left, guys?
It makes me sad but I don't see us reaching 2020.

so how long will it take till hey notice?

Depends on whether or not version 7 gets rolled back.

if dota 1 never died why would dota 2 ever die?

I'd say hurr use illusions to farm multiple lanes but it's pretty terrible. I usually skip out on manta but my build is
>echo>BKB>( silver edge depending on line up then bkb>Thor's hammer> Abyssal/manta etc etc
getting bkb second has given me so many wins instead of being a shitter who gets it as their third or fourth item like phantom assassins or anti mages.

>farming on CK
He's a roaming support with a gpm talent, why would you need to flashfarm????

Do people actually still play Dota 1? How many and why?

What's our resident janitor's MMR?

People in China, SEA, Peru and etc play W3 dota because of LAN cafes, old PCs and just because. The dota1 playerbase in China was still larger than dota2 2-3 years ago and it might still be.

like half of China and third worlders who can't afford even a pentium 4

It still is larger, iirc it's over 1 million

>Over 1 million people are still playing dota 1
>We barely get 700k people playing Dota 2 concurrently these days

Yeah and icefraud has been trying his hardest to get them to switch over, like not updating dota and adding broken wukong.

Little does he realize that the Chinese don't give a fuck about graphics in a broken game that destroys CPU's or shit new patches, since if they dislike a patch they can just revert to a previous map unlike in dota2

>chinese dont have standards so they play a severely outdated W3 mod
LOL, pls dont be a racist to china

>dotard has no standards so he willingly plays lol 2.0
LOL, pls dont be a loser on Veeky Forums

what time is it in peru? when should I queue to avoid them

don't worry lad they are still downloading the patch

Yet here you are.

ya like I am goin to take opinion of racist seriously... fuck you mother

i've never played with one

how come my queues are fucking long as shit

>commend everyone, add a few of them as friends

Umm, Dotards? Defend this now

If all the same things happened except you lost your mood would be entirely different and you'd be 'me ooga team booga' posting right now.

oh my goodness
