>holy fuck what was i thinking
>i wake up and i was up 200 mmr and i didn't even feed
wow

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.

InControl is still in EG since PPD IS InControl

is she brushing her teeth?
you arent supposed to keep it in your mouth like that...

I support our white bros like incontrol and hyuk

...

>ppd knows Dota will turn into shit after TI 6 so he just one stepped down and becomes a business man instead
Truly the evil genius

speaking of sc2

incontrol = waga
idra = arteezy
artosis = tobi
tasteless = cap
soulless gooks = soulless gooks

then who is the haypro of dota2?

>he knows personalities of SC2
I'm cringing my tits off.

DELETE THIS

>two years later
>still no streams

oh yeah? stream this *unzips dick*

Where can I find PRIME dota 2 smut? The penis is pretty hard right now.

I need the prime stuff though. We talking legion commander futa and stuff.

Do you guys think EG will do well under PPD? He seems very inexperienced

bobross is streaming

Once RTZ leaves again

he already cut off the excess fat, seems like a good start

ppd was surprised about embers building veils and radiances couple of days ago, he has no clue what is happening in dota he is just dealing with eg the org not the dota 2 team

and it doenst matter who is your sponsor as long as your hotels and shit are paid for

no one predicted spell caster ember dude

What went kebab?

veil radiance ember is shit though, literal meme that only wins because it gets carried or the enemy has extremely shit heroes in which case they would lose anyway

How to play Ember now?

d2g need some epic meme build, something like omni with phaseboots s&y echo sabre

im sorry but you are trash at the game

spell ember on average does more damage with less networth than ""carry"" ember

Starcraft general survives beyond their dead game by posting hot gooks. What will we have?

le balanced goodchen was at your door and you actually opened

right here

see magic damage ember's can be much more active than regular SoF spams

except magic damage ember doesn't get radiance, he gets maelstrom and much much later mjollnir

Ilexa

>dota 7
>EVERY final results has all the heroes above level 20

disgusting

clinkz rushed bloodthorne and built a bkb for some reason
pudge didnt get aghs
gondar is still building INT support items
CM fed, but thats unavoidable

he can go either or

if he's the 1/2 core he goes radiance otherwise he goes other utility shit

I'm honestly glad we have russians on EUW compared to peruvians on USE. At least russians want to make big plays and stuff like opa Dendi, and there's a sort of pressure to be good at dota among them. Yeah feeding and all that is still rampant, but I've seen the infestation on USE and it's not pretty.

I've gone both

It really just depends on how in their face you can be

>disgusting
why?

no he doesn't.
getting radiance is fucking retarded, what does it do that maelstrom/mjollnir doesn't do better?
you get 60 damage per second from radiance in an aoe, and you get 1 second per 5 targets, while maelstrom gets 150 damage per 4 targets on average

how the fuck can it compare?

because it shows that the game is nothing more than a mexican stand-off with useless rubberbanding

WHERE ARE THE PRO GAMES

WHERE IS THE NEW META

how does it show that, exactly?

consistent aoe dmg, ehp and isn't reliant on SoF creeps to proc

radiance negates 17% percent of total physical damage also, complement it with a butterfly and ember becomes one Mean DPS Machine

maelstorm was nerfed
and radiance also gives flat damage + burn
the miss aura is nice too

because both teams have the same amount of exp

in the Forgotten Days, exp difference actually meant something

where are the epic claniraq builds at

Dotards' creative freedom with Ilexa's shit has been mostly enticing. Has there been anything new with her since f-list and the release of 7.0?

bearless druid, well not bearless but all the items go on your hero

I'm sorry but you are trash at the game

spell ember on average dies a lot more with more networth than carry ember. Spell ember also doesn't do anything aginst bkb. Spell ember also doesn't scale to lategame at all

I can guarantee you you'll never see your meme ember win a single competitive match. It's pub memebuild

Hold on ill call him
*ahem*
THE BEAR IS THE BEST PART OF LONE DRUID

>lane for 10 minutes
>5v5 for the next 10
>attempt to take highground for the next 20
This is incredible, in an attempt to reinvigorate interests from the snoozefest of 7.89 they somehow managed to make it even more boring and by the numbers. Every game plays exactly the same

who cares about 17% chance to miss lategame
ember should never be trading hits melee range when he can permachain people from 1500 range away and negate all their spells by not letting them cast on him
the ember that casually strolls in when its not a sure kill is a dead ember, radiance won't change that math, if you could kill them in melee range with radiance while they're permachained, you could kill them without it

shivas and maelstrom are both more aoe magic damage output than radiance during SoF. Maelstrom/mjollnir is a better farming item and better buildup too, and it only costs half as much to get the full damage on the sof

like whats the point. If you were going in rambo style in melee range, mjollnir would be 5x better than radiance anyway, static charge and 80% attack speed makes it more damage output

radiance is just a meme item

yeah it's pretty dull, the team that wins laning phase pushes all the t2s and shrines, takes rosh, sieges with le balanced statstick of autoattack range, and that's pretty much that

he literally just posted

you dont get radiance at 40mins

Magic build is shit in lategame when even supports can afford a heart of tarasque

>who cares about 17% chance to miss lategame
it's a 17% less chance for PA crit, more worth it imo

>in the Forgotten Days, exp difference actually meant something
nobody cared about exp once you hit 16

yeah who gives a shit about 36 all stats

fucking 2k retards

>ppd dropped best girl from EG

fucking piece of shit >:B

it doesn't matter when you get it
maelstrom is better at every point of the game
maelstrom actually gives you relevant single target damage output in clumps while also being a big wave wipe tool, and you're already at full power when a radiance build would be at 2700 gold banked towards a relic

EG is literally dead lol

>*Crits you from invis*
>*Cancels 5 TP's*
>*Crits you from invis again 2 seconds later*

pssh, nothin' perosnnel, kid

.tv/settraxi

3k mmr low priority games with comm ban on top, EDM beats and nothing much else from my stupid mouth

bounty is actually decent with +100 damage and -5s jinada cooldown
the only problem is that he gets harassed out of lane by someone just looking at him

>This LC got this win

>Legion Commander is a shit hero

waow

>implying not soulless gooks = soulless chinks

More like
>This guy intentionally fed not only couriers deaths but also duels and still gets a win in the end

>90/180/270/360 physical damage combos from maxing shadow walk
???
just buy sentries, eat their sentries and spam jinada/shadow walk for mana efficient harassment

nobody cared as in being 2-3-4 hell even 5 levels above the enemy carry hardly meant shit, like hell man 5 levels is like 1 ultimate orb, 10 dmg, some mana, 190 hp
yeah its neat but if you were 5 levels behind the enemy carry then you had bigger problems than being 7-8k exp behind

>that Chen build

N-NANI?!

the most broken shit about that hero is the backstab damage during fade time

>just turn invis and get cucked out of farm
:^)

i cant find which build tho

>abandoning one unranked game costs you more good boy points than acting like an unbearable autismlord for a month

this will surely teach me to not misbehave by living in a first world country where every ISP has a local monopoly and awful service quality

>tfw you win an intense sentry-tango staredown in the lane against a bh
fucking game changing man
fucking bh has to ferry out 2 more sentries and delay his boots/arcanes and you get over a minute of peace in lane + a double tango
feels good people

the wolf

wow a fucking MANTA
where is the real claniraq build

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

Consider the following
>if ember had a battlefury, not a single cleave off a creep would have hit sniper because since he was in melee range, all cleave aoes would be facing away from them instead of the old unpredictable directions
>the new cleave mechanics would make it deal 0 damage

Where is new movie poster about this shit patch? Pls great doturd make one.

you're missing the bigger picture
his meme now is moon shard working on illusions
he's always done manta on lycan lmao

>90/180/270/360 damage every 15 seconds
WOW

?
I dont think the old was unpredictable
Weren't you always facing your next target

in the laning phase thats hitting you twice per wave

and if the enemy team manages to defend against a push (which is pretty likely thanks to base shrines) they then push, and it goes back and forth like tennis for another 30 mins until one team fucks up.

and how do you predict what your next target is

>tfw too unintelligent to understand the new cleave mechanic

goes in order of which unit was created first or something

very simple way to understand new cleave

>for sleight of fist + cleave to connect, the creep you're hitting has to be inbetween where you cast sof and the enemy hero
>if no creeps are between you and that hero, you'll never land a cleave
>it won't hit enemies in front of their creep or if creeps are surrounding both of you

basically:
instead of a semi circle radiating from where your hero is facing, it's a cone
as in you hit less things

there's literally zero reason to build moonshards on lycan before you have AC

pls demonstrate that drawn in paint im too retarded

>semi circle
it was a full circle you fucking dota illiterate piece of shit

ur mum is a full circle

this is what the new cleave is like

isnt that how it has always been

and what's the old one?

...

That man has said on reddit that he is not the clan_iraq

He is however the best disciple we have and has done great service to the world of memebuilds.
