What's your excuse user?

LD got a gf guys

>most picked hero in dota 2 history
>consistently +50%wr
>useful at all stages of the game
>viable in every single draft
>has never received a meaningful nerf

So, why DOES icefrog love pudge so much?

I haven't found the right boy yet.

They want the fat playerbase.

is Monkey King OP??

>play arc warden twice
>go 13/9/13 and 11/9/16
>lost both games

Should I not play Arc Warden in 7.01?

because he's a ____fun______ hero in all brackets

ld is getting married!

...

Reminder not to fall victim to the golem effect

Only play positions 1,2 or at worst, 3!

Those are awful scores user.

They were better than the rest of my team

What's the item build for Warden nowadays?

"golem effect" ?

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.

>7.00
>Literally every game filled with people who rage quit and abandon.

Fucking hell

Are you on a new account?

No.

he isn't a good hero user, but the generic ranged carry build after midas.
bots > dragon lance > maelstrom
special mention for orchid, dagon, bloodthorn, mjolnir, manta.

Well doturds, what is your excuse for not being 6k+ by spamming Nature Prophet and rushing aghs/necro/octarine ?

post mmr then mate.

Isnt this enough ?

>his name is a "meme"

an hero

Low expectations results in low performance

High expectations results in high performance

>lying to random strangers on the internet
come on user.

daily reminder

I actually figured something like this was going on. I do it all the time.

Razor. Batrider. Pudge (good kind not shit kind). Pugna.

They need to fix the visuals on old models. Hell pudge is the most popular character and he has nintendo 64 feet. Chaos knight's red aura limb crap looks like shit compared to arc wardens.

God i'm happy there isn't a sound that plays when hitting a building id lose my fucking mind

how would spectre work with travels diffusal manta and 3 moon shards and refresher in backpack

You'll get to vote on it next goypendium.

basic models will never be updated. they'll just release high res skins and you buy them if u want

>They need to fix the visuals on old models

They clearly don't though seeing as how Dota 2 is worth like half a billion at this point

nintendo 64 had good feet though
what are you complaining about

>dota concurrent users still can't reach 900k.
Is this it?

>people only watch xyclopz casting chink dota because he has a funny voice

>Play LPQ games.
>Every game where I stomp the beginning someone abandons and it doesn't count.
>Five games in a row.

>Sixth game I get two feeders on my team, nobody abandons.

wa9utasng

It's over.

>change the whole game
>lose players
wow, who could have thought of that?

first legion now anti?
has feminism gone too far?

Valve will end custom game support by the end of the month
Im excited

Veil Ember + Axe

Only heroes in the game that don't get instagibbed by Ember are Jugg/Naix. Blink call them, game's over.

>ending custom game support when Source2 SDK isn't even out yet

I prefer playing in Captain's mode.

Next hero will change genders depending of the latents you choose.

Lord Kinbote, High Imperator
Radiant Strength Hero

Pillar
Lord Kinbote raises himself up on a pillar of rock, giving himself a higher ground over his opponents. All other units are pushed aside as the pillar erupts, damaging and stunning enemies.
>100/150/200/250 damage and 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 stun in 300 AoE with 4/5/6/7 duration
>12 cooldown, 115 mana cost
>Subskill: Lowers the pillar prematurely for 0 mana cost.
>Enemies are flung into the air for 0.5 seconds then stunned for 0.5/0.75/1.00/1.25 seconds

Higher Ground
Lord Kinbote deals extra damage and has longer attack range against enemies on lower ground than him. Enemies at lower ground than him have lower damage and lower attack range against him
>+/- 75/150/225/300 attack range to 128 minimum (pillar'd kinbote can be attacked from 100 range away)
>+/- 15/25/35/45 damage.
>Effects are doubled if Kinbote is two grounds higher than his opponent, up to +/-600 attack range and +/-90 damage maximum
>Passive

Zenith Warp
Lord Kinbote blinks instantly to target location, dealing damage and slow to any units at either his departure or arrival position. Minimum cast range of 400. If a Pillar was active, it bursts out of the ground at the new location, dealing damage and stun a second time.
>Deals 40/80/120/160 damage and 20/30/40/50% slow for 3 seconds in 250 AoE
>400-800 base cast range, +400 distance per level of lower ground targeted (1600 maximum)
>20/16/14/12 cooldown, 90 mana cost

Pitfall
All units friend or foe in target AoE are trapped within a pit in lower ground. They can neither walk out nor escape with any movement ability, which puts them only at the edge of the pit.
>Deals 100/200/300 damage and lasts 4/5/6 seconds.
>125/150/175 mana cost, 90 cooldown
>Hits an AoE of 400. Anyone who stumbles into the pit after formation takes the damage. Allies do not take the damage but cannot escape the pit either.

>playing anything that isnt ember spirit
enjoy the losses pal

>see ally going ember spirit
seems gud
>he says "dont get radiance, im going to get one"
DROPPED

>le deity that splits into male and female form based on talent taken and each form has different effects on the skills

when are they gonna start importing hon heroes to dota

The direction we're heading in we'll first get some league skillshot heroes with short cooldowns.

>play mid
>2 extra niggers sit mid and harass me all thne time
>try to jungle
>they follow me and keep harassing
>Tim doesn't help
>get reported

>people say i sound like arab
>never use mic again

why everyone is such a bully in this game

Arab pls

were you playing techies

Stop going mid, Abdul.

turkroach detected

>mfw in my head i sound like english gentleman.

why is life so unfair

>roach that thinks hes a brit
pottery

Is bree master any good this meta? I am sick of playing support but honestly, the only heroes that really interest me are heroes normally considered supports. Like no one is going to let shadow shaman my favorite, be a core.

What can I do? Playing fragile supports or supports who can't invis or shit out pure damage hooks is suicide.

what is a BREWMASTER????

>What can I do?
Get some taste.

araber

Good on you, most British accents are fucking horrible.

How do I have no taste? I only offline or support. Carrying is dog shit because of how few viable options there are. I don't want to spam PA or slark.

how many years left does he have? when will he finally crack?

try playing online, its a good start

...

Fucking auto correct. That's supposed to say offlane and you know it you bastards!

Am I the only one going in Captain's mode just to fuck with people and only picking Meepo, Techies, Wisp, Chen and Invoker?

just pick weaver or mirana they can do damage without last hitting for 20mins
tusk is ok too since he has a GPM talent

Brew is so fucking bad rn. Without a mana item like arcane boots or magic wand charges he can only clap once if you want to use primal split which means you need to farm for like 5mins.

>drafting good heroes
????

>pick weaver
>enemy picks poor mans shield
>????
>lose game

?
Viable carries that aren't PA or Slark:
Luna
LS
AM
Jugg
Morph
Sven
Spec
Ursa
WK
Not counting all the mid heroes that snowball and can carry .

>It's some autistic cuck starts whining and it lasts for 60 minutes rerun

>pick The Swarm
>enemy picks -armor
>??????
>win game

wagamama 10k viewers, pls explain

What if:

>divine rapier now puts a buff on enemy heroes
>if killed within 5 seconds of being hit by a divine rapier, you lose 1 experience level
>your last skill point is unskilled, you lose the base stats, etc

competition is russians or eternal autism
and other cucks feels naturally attracted to their swedish bretheren

>a spell that does nothing but some -armor and vision that takes forever to ramp up
why not just pick dazzle? at least poison touch deals good damage and isn't negated by pms

>ember, techies, monkey kang are the op heroes of 7.00
just fuck my meta up

you're telling me you lvlup swarm for damage

>starting this shit again
why haven't you killed yourself yet

>instead of going backwards he just marches on like some drunk russian waiting to be shot down
bruh....

>skill that deals 420 physical damage with -10 average armor
seems gud. enemy can't afford to trade hits during the laning stage with this on because of the combined dps of this + geminate, if they hit the beetle they still take damage before it dies, if they try to run the beetle rapes them
>skill that does nothing but -1 armor per second and removes vision
they just run away lmao, then help themselves to +30 gold

>viable carry Spec Sven
hello 2k

or he could have just clicked the mines

Explain how Aghs Pudge is not the most broken shit in this game

dude the pros dont even play him lmao, prefectly balanced hero, only got buffed like 15 times in a row
not even a single nerf

Dota 2 is a shit game, it removed importants features from Dota 1 like neutral creeps sleeping.

it's because landing hooks is too hard for them

it was the same shit with Earth Spirit, he was only a huge pick when pros figured out how to competently land his combos

against a normal 4 armor hero a level 4 swarm deals 510 hp in damage over its full duration, thats like 680 magic damage

landing hooks isnt even hard, it especially shouldnt be hard in a competitive enviroment where you team can setup hooks
