1st for Ixmike is OUR guy

2nd for redditcucks eternal assravage

Reminder that Ruru cheated in such a massive way as to invalidate all of LGD and CDEC's success over the past 3 years but neither Valve, Icefrog, nor Reddit seem to care.

Will Korean dota ever be good again?

I miss watching QO go ham

aayy my nigga grant too

I miss that ability so much.

Why did rtz quit dota? I love ourtour but this game is stupid.

they're clones not illus

reminder that ruru invalidated half of China's results for the last 3 years

He sounds like he's having a ton of fun.
He needs this.

Peruvians or slavs making a few hundred bucks to feed their families is a bannable offense
Chinks having admin access to dota API's and watching all private scrims/hidden smurfs of competitors is just fine

Valve is owned by the chinks, disgusting

>build basher on Meepo
>clones can't bash

It's how the ability works what else is there to say? Just be glad they don't get Jingo Memery.

good riddance I say

/pol/ is an overrated hugbox board. Worse than /co/ nowadays.

/pol/ is the new /v/ is the new /b/ is the new /soc/.

meepo clones can bash, they just cant carry basher

of course, having a free Time Lapse on a 6-second cooldown is way better

It's literally impossible to 1v9 in this fucking patch.
The trench is not just a meme anymore

One repost for the evening people. I'm giving away a bunch of stuff on the general in a few days. Go vote on what i'm giving away.

thats not even true. and i dont mind /pol/. i dont like the autistic permavirgin reddit refugees who spam their political agenda everywhere on the board

How are you liking this new patch?

Do you seriously believe it took them almost half a year of hard work to come up with these UI and HUD changes along with the map, talent tree and other shit that came with with 7.00 update?

Get a fucking clue already. After TI ended and they stuffed their pockets with over 70 million big ones, again, thanks to you idiots who supported them by buying their shit, they went off for at least a 1-2 month vacation on the Maldives and then started to production on more money-driven goals like the Fall Pass for, again, you losers to spend more money on.

Also by working maybe like 3 days a week and being lords to themselves, they literally don't give a shit or have to answer to anyone regarding deadlines.
Not to mention they even released the entire content with more bugs than the current version the game had been running in and they didn't gave a shit. They just kept tweaking it for a few days and now guess what, 2 week vacation because Christmas + New years!

They have been doing shit like this and will continue to do so because they know that at the end of the day, no matter the state of how bad things get, you morons will still throw money at them and keep on buying the shit they shit out of their asses like there's no tomorrow.

You want the game fixed? Too bad, up next in the agenda is the Chinese New Bloom event with the Juggernaut Arcana!

Be sure to have some money read on your Steam wallet, fellow gulagite redditor!
You have to support this game you love so much! Shoutouts to Valvo for making it happen!!!

This is the type of game you're playing now.

>most boards bros with /pol/

only falseflagging redditors spout this kind of dogshit

shit taste you have

so how do we fix lycan to make him not total dog shit?

Nobody likes /pol/, kill yourself

Make him a cat.

>strawpoii

>inability to handle change, whether in-game, or in proton-neutron-electron space coloquially referred to as reality

also, i got ban-attempted for posting a deer
thats one thirsty janny
thirdie power hour i suppose!

Instead of making him turn into a wolf make him turn into a wicked cool werewolf that is all big and kills vampires and is badass.

>no one worth watching is streaming

fucking lame

give his dogs a stacking armor reduction that works on buildings, stacks up to 5 times per pooch 0.5/0.75/1/1.25

>tfw to intelligent too buy wards and upgrade courier

only brainlets play support

your the gay xdd

Dota 2 Q&A
November 1, 2010 - IceFrog
Q: Is there reconnect support for DotA 2? (by Vanes-UT)
A: This was actually one of the very first things we added early on, before the game was stable, in order to help with testing. You’ll also be able to have a friend of similar skill level substitute for you in case you have to leave. Players that want to improve their reputation in the game and community will also be able to help out by joining ongoing games that are missing players.

>try to remove rng from game
>PA still exists basically same as she ever was, if not even more random due to daggers procing crit
????????????????

>dota two is predominantly composed of shitskins
>said shitskins enjoy partaking in the match as (read: refuse to play anything but) a carry
ltjsi4am (Let That Just Sink In Four A Moment)

Pretty much this. For the first 2k hours or so I mained support, hated the game and my life and had shit MMR. Then I realised I need to take control of the game or there's no reason I should ever win. MMR went up, life got better and I'm popular with the ladies.

that was back when leaving a game was common

stupid dota2babby

I don't get Lycan. Icefraud marginally reworked the hero so his abilities center more around teamfighting, but he just can't. He's so shit. What is iceshit doing

>my safespace comfort zone OP strat got nerfed a lil' bit! i am entitled to my motherly coo of MeMeR!
>my safespace postingundbrowsing experience is being infringed upon by Western Anime, ban he!
same thing my dear student

>tfw I used to play CARRY Abaddon, CARRY Omniknight, CORE Jakiro and I had above 70% win rate with all of them

>tfw my 51 wins / 16 losses CARRY Abaddon is, even after all this time, the best CARRY Abaddon in all the /d2g/

>tfw still that EQUALS TO A 35 WINS TO 0 ZERO LOSS RATIO

>tfw you shitters will literally never be as good as this game as I was despite going full try-hard while I literally played casually in VERY HIGH SKILL BRACKET with one hand behind my back, literally: dotabuff.com/matches/1869884763

>tfw DotA has become a Reddit catering piece of shit kusoge only focused in cashing out on kids using their parent's credit cards and Abaddon will never be top pick again

>tfw I will forever be the true chosen by the mist

>Make his summons permanent
>Change his wolf talents to + 1 wolf

icefrog no longer want meme push, split push, or in general hero that can win before 30 minutes anymore

Just random items are nice.
Just created a new account and whatever is nice desu, mostly play whatever the team needs

Lycan is really strong right now.

Go HotD into Armlet, go 4/0/4 for your FREE HEART.
Then just farm, hit buildings with your team, ult and run at supports with your armlet on constantly.

Just never play him versus Sladar, he actually shits on him so fucking hard.

he is literally a worse version of ursa now though

ursa can't do anything to towers and can't run away at sanic speed

Tell my why every team shouldnt run 3 carries

Hum I havent tried taking rosh with armlet toggling, usually go hotd first, and dominate whatever creep and do it pre 10 minutes
Literally almost all creeps are viable
satyr demolisher gives you 26 regen total
wildkin gives nice armor
frost ogre gives nice AS slow
the skeleton sumonner one is nice too since skeleton hit pretty hard and they get the AS and daamge aura
Tomato gives you very nice AS

And every single one of them is a 1400 hp tank if need be

I dont think armlet can top that

Supports are shit now lol

hmm

How is this not the worst kind of rubberbanding? 6.83 is nothing on this shit.

>has the #4 winrate at 5k+
>is dogshit

???

Purge creep is also good because it stops him from getting kited when he's in 700 MS form because for some fucking reason he has that ungodly windup.

Anger is power, give in to the dark side, etc.

But seriously, if that's a USB mouse, your OS is just disabling it 'to save power'.

>Pick a carry that buys HotD
>???
>Win assuming the enemy also didn't apply this high skill tactic

How long till this item gets nerfed?

It's a BT mouse. It was the first Dota game with it but I played both demo mode and overthrow before and after this incident. The weird thing is that it worked up to and including the draft and pre-game then died as the game started. Now I'm just too scared to queue for real because I don't want reports.

The only real lycan build is HOTD(wolf/purge) into echo into deso into moar DAMAGE like MKB. Lycan isn't a pussy hero anymore. He's a carry.

>bluetooth mouse
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Reminder that he could be in this very thread.

I love Soe. I wonder if she's happy right now.

Hey it's just my integrated graphics laptop. What's the problem with BT (except when it totally doesn't work I mean)?

You can win with a track pad just play an aoe int hero and spam spells in the general direction like jakiro or some shit.

What's so good about the new HotD? Seriously asking

>play support pug
>build tranquils and soul ring
>healslut your cores
>win game
doturds?

Too late when it died after the picking phase and I had a right click carry!

jarq too

what went wrong?

huber is based

literal oldfag by /d2g/ standards

what went wrong?

1400 hp creeps with 400+ MS.
Aura regen and attack speed to help pushing
+6 to all stats.
1800 gold.

Its basically old old drums level of efficient, 3 less to all stats, but a load of regen and 11 more attack speed instead of MS, but the creep can make up for it.

...

what went right?

HotD Aquila Drums Veil SnY Threads Juggernaut

>get your semen stolen
>lose TI

Was there ever a more likable Chinese team than DK?

Will there ever be a more likable Chinese team than DK?

>Summ1t will never play H1Z1 with the EG goons

Why even live?

No.

youtube.com/watch?v=5G9O9j0DSII

never

if you're going veil then you fucking get a mjollnir you cheeky cunt

Well, you should disable bluetooth power management if you haven't already. Hopefully it's that simple.

That isn't my image.

GOOKMOOT

Zeus' new aghs may be cool, but the addition of MK and the mid game focus of this patch makes it so hard to pick him

>I've yet to have a match this week with less than 400mmr spread
why isn't solo ranked actual solo, is the technology simply not there yet?
must be tricky to implement

New account I created, did I just blow eveyr chance of calibrating 4k with a support pick?

>solo queue will never come back

whatever you say nate

who cares, dumb frogposter

forgot account

>Dota 2 is suppose to be the biggest and best e-sport game right now
>The only consistent and popular streamer is Waga.

I wish I can move from 2.2k. I just hover at this MMR endlessly. Fuck.

>People actually watch Waga

He's like the human equivalent of a sterile environment.
I will always be amazed he has viewers.

that's good since it means i don't have to mute him like rtz&co

>watching waga, ever

would literally rather watch grandgrant/demon/fear VODs than anything waga does
