THREAD RUINED SOMEONE MAKE A NEW ONE

good lad

nth for sasha

...

if you hate losing, just one hero you gotta pick

terrorblade

...

has anything been said about the chinese cheating drama? I remember that it took almost a full month for the match fixing peruvians to get banned so I would hope that its something similar

I'm a 27 year old consultant who will not only be 28 in April, but also a father. Back when I found out my wife was pregnant, I told myself I'd quit Dota when the baby comes, because jesus christ this game is a time sink and people aren't going to pause for diaper changes. I joked with my friends and said my goal was to hit 6k before the baby comes to I would finally achieve some success in a game i've loved, but always knew I was a little too old and entrenched in domestic life to ever achieve any sort of greatness in.

I know some people will say its easy to balance life etc etc, but I already have a demanding job, and a wife, Dota barely fits in now. My point is this, if you really want to climb MMR and play with RTZ, get someone pregnant (or maybe just pick Treant).

>tfw MK doesn't get banned and the enemy picks him

storm'hael the dota quitter

how does this make soe posters feel? your waifu has been BLACKED. forever defiled. she will NEVER be pure again >:)

pure waifus suck desu

I would drop her instantly if I found out she ever dated a shitskin. But I know she hasn't and never will so I'm okay.

worst opinion i've ever had the displeasure to witness in my entire life

Is this guy a good hero?
How do you build fire puck?

runs in the family

3dpd

let this thread die already so vavle will realized what they did

Let's jump ship to another moba

Why americans mock this emoji?

fuck off riot marketer

Whats so wrong about the blacked hand thing anway? if it was a white hand you would have no problem with it. this site is just showing its true (racist) colors.

This is terrible

fucking black men basically proves a woman has little to no standards or self respect. its basically the biggest red flag ever

The white man's worst fear is his woman getting blacked.

>falling for bait this obvious
lad...

Ive literally gone through 4 other games while waiting for dota to be fixed.

what the fuck is taking valve so long

is there a reason i cant find a game

lots going on behind the scenes

valve time

How to fix dota
>no /d2g/ for days
reddit is already using fake upvotes
>when the right time comes, resummon d2g
>alive thread

????

you morons told me to pick omni for free mmr. i cant win with this hero. wtf.

how
repel can't be purged anymore
what the fuck m8

the hero just feels so underwhelming. repel is good and ga too idk. my carries always just run away from me so i cant get close enough to cast spells.

>likes are way too high for the comments
holy shit

what is wrong with the game?

Why is setting a creep to follow still broken. Just why.
Select creep. Right click hero.
This used to make the creep follow the hero. Now it just stops when it reached the hero. Who would EVER want this to happen?

>Bloodseeker coming to LoL

You need to use the move hotkey now.

Thank you. But just.. why?

your so damn close man i always strived for this MMR but never felt like putting in the time or effort and just sat at 4k forever. then this patch came out and it was a great time to never play this game again. but you shouldnt give up on your dreams, thats a fast-track to disappointment..

I think it's because most players use the right click to attack fiendly units option.
With a separeted hotkey to just follow, you won't attack a friendly unit

whoops I fucked up
The right click to attack a friendly only seems to work on your hero
You still need to use the force attack hotkey to deny yourself with a friendly unit or a teammate

Well I guess it's still cool that we can set lycan wolves to follow enemy heroes without attacking them

>steam powered radioactive werewolf

Here guys I made this. Feel free to help out by providing resources and shit. I'm still a noob so I don't know much. I had to link to the subreddit because leddit is ahead in the discussion and shit.

And they broke giving bots items again. Great shit valve. Class A++ programmers.

>playing with bots?

WHY DID TWITCH CHANGE
WHAT ARE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS
FUCK OFF

Reminder that this is in the game files

You don't

>what is demo mode

LETS
GET
QUACKIN'

LETS
GET
DANGEROUS

I'm convinced that being a good dota player and having a girlfriend are mutually exclusive when you have a job. Theres just too much time commitment, you cant have all 3. How do you deal bros ;_;

>Come back after a month
>None of the original MVP cast is on the same team anymore
Shit man.

i'm not a good dota player i don't have a gf and i don't have a job

our boy is streaming

Why is necrophos allowed to be so broken?

jesus thank you. i just gave up using it i thought it was patched out for some reason. time to play lycan again

hmm

just end it all now my dude

u make dota your job

Realise that being good at a videogame that valve is just gonna milk for a little while until hats stop selling and then let slowly die is nice, but not an important feature of your life, since you weren't ever going to be a pro player anyway and all that skill is fucking meaningless the day gaben pulls the plug. Enjoy the ride, its not your real life.

or your girlfriend

Unless you intend on going pro, there's really no value or merit to be had in being a "good" dota player. Just play casually and focus on having good, competitive FUN.
If you're not having fun then honestly what the fuck are you doing? Play more fun video games, like Overwathch.

fuck off blizzard shill

>playing dota for fun instead out of an desire to share your anger and bitterness with the world

You are doing it wrong

If I wanted to do that I'd become a clown, and be really, really bad at kid's parties.

is ember build brown boots >veil >blink >travels?
or travels before blink

>scoreboard is 4-25 at 12 minutes into game
>I'm 3-0-1, have the most farm, most hero damage and highest level
>ally: "its ur fault we're losing"
>ally: "You lost us all lanes by jungling"

I know there is no merit but my brain for some reason gets so much satisfaction out of the idea, to the point where I think I prefer it over a real balanced lifestyle.

Shiet, this is probably what an addiction is huh.

Also overcuck sucks balls

travels before veil

boots->bottle->travels->veil->octarine
blink is unnecessary, you're better off getting linkens/bkb

>overwatch
>fun

>people still falling for the magic damage ember meme

its fine to go veil b4 travels

Damn man, I suppose I have to prioritize irl stuff over this game. Just feels pointless, tearing myself away from what gives me joy (killing nerds in my video games) to find some shit that i have to force myself to like since I interact with people. I've got like no friends, so finding an actual irl hobby is gonna be extremely gay. Just kill me desu senpai

Why do normies have such a pathological hatred of nerds?

>can farm vacuum with magical OR physical damage builds

Is he the new farm vacuum king? Has tinker finally been unseated?

its fine, but its worse for farming. Veil first is better only if you're really in a bloodbath in the first 10 minutes
its not the gold you'd waste on tps, but the farm you open up by being able to push out waves and remnant back and repeat with higher frequency

also I forgot, amend that to:
boots->bottle->travels->veil->maelstrom->octarine

Farm vacuum implies losing

>implying the king can be overthrown

"Report this fucking Tinker"

report this FUCKING TINKER

Tell me about tinker
why does he build the bloodstone?

What is this aids meme?

It's from an infamous interracial porno.

jewish propaganda

never forget that the left want to see you robbed, tortured and murdered
our countries destroyed
and our race extinguished


btw arteezy blademail clinks haha

Don't you need like 50 fucking charges for Bloodstone to give more mana regen than soul ring?

soul ring: 120 mana/s
guardian greaves: 126 mana/s
50 charge bloodstone: 61 mana/s
