>tfw no BLACKED hero

>valve is losing players

>starts listening to leddit trying to undo the shit they've done
it's time to fix the game you fags, voice your stupid opinions

Sheever.

You're actually as stupid as you sound if you think your contrarian opinion matters.
The only things that prompts Valve to respond is the circlejerk shit that tops the subreddit after days/weeks/months of the same thread being made over and over again.

>it's not about ego, it's about saving the game.
Oh, you mean the game which reddit has been saving this entire time by whining about comeback mechanics, people farming too much, k

upboat my comment on carries being cucked

>spare my cubs, I beg of you
What did he mean by this?

Sheeburrrrrrr

Where is Ms.Urza ?

spare them the sight of this game

reddit circlejerk is dumb and if you word you thoughts well enough they'll highlight it

it's an evil SJW who made the report/LP system
probably doesn't even play dota
just wants to make "toxic' people suffer

What am I watching
twitch
.tv/fkinfyre

>people actually think she isnt best dota girl

>I'll see you in death, old girl

reddit suggestions are emotionally charged with no longterm consideration in mind. Look at all the current problems, esp the big one right now with the low pri/report system and the soft regionlock fucking everybody other than NA

you mean reddit

>7.00 marked the beginning of dota's downfall
>userbase consistently shrinking
>soon enough, pro matches will have the repetitive samey feeling as well due to all the changes and audience will plummet
>final nail in the coffin will be compendium flops, professionals leaving the scene due to lower prize pools
>custom games have failed and won't keep it alive either
:o)

>all these angery peruvians talking about how the game is dead
fucking poetry
region lock was the best thing theyve added in a long time.

how is this item balanced?

Hands up if you just played a bot game with 3 guys from work. Toppest Kek. I know your here :)

You think I give a fuck about player numbers retards?

just 4 more days boys we can make it .eg will win btw

Wrong, the knee jerk comeback gold patch after TI3 was the beginning of the downfall of Dota. A team got to the finals with a hard push strat, lost in the end, and the fanbase was incredibly assblasted because they didn't like seeing their favorite teams get stomped. The loss of that strategy in the end proved that "get an early lead and hold onto it" wasn't a foolproof strategy, but Valve nerfed it anyway and now we're seeing the repercussions of that.

Hit the chest area and head, avoid spikes

Our Guys on

haha yeah just like they won the boston major....

and t16....

and the shanghai major....


hahahaha eg isnt winning shit

redditors still think the problem in the game is the stupid shop

how hard can it be to adapt to a simple ui change? these people have to be disabled

Y M C A

>not watching russians abuse their loved one on cam

Buy a satanic

true. ti3 was a turning point. but there were still more viewers/players and the games didn't feel the same every fucking match

ti3 was definitely dota's peak though, wrt to pretty much everything that matters

>it's another let's start crying and stop trying from minute 10 episode

Stop hitting yourself.

>have MKB in inventory
>get hit by Tinker aghs laser
>miss
What the fuck? How is this acceptable?

>people thought Icefrog would start interacting with the community
>people thought 7.00 would be a big change

>dota2 still has no headshot mechanic in current year

>we need more hat events to save Dota
YOU

CAN'T

MAKE

THIS

SHIT

UP

you were probably hitting a magic immune target

I was hitting tower

that's probably what reddit thinks

True strike has never worked on towers

I wouldnt be surprised if he took that from reddit desu

it doesn't stop you from missing on buildings. yep, it's that retarded

youtube.com/watch?v=AtDMqTRlu1A

OHHHHHH
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADS

how does one enable 'repeat last chat message' by pressing up arrow?

>t16
Tell how is the futures based future bro.

7.00 was somewhat of a big change, but it made the game worse by making it more repetitive rather than improve it

>you can miss hitting a building
>with mkb
wow, thats fucking stupid

who still plays this game honestly

look at this

Is this common in the russian dota 2 community?

>don't play for 4 months because LP
>come back
>queue sd
>two leavers first 2 minutes
i'm never gonna be able to play this game again

>keeps yelling and smacking her around

how are they not banned yet

How did it make the game more repetitive?

nice, upboated xD

ppd's interview is up
youtube.com/watch?v=AtDMqTRlu1A

hello based reddit spy

fuck that jew. He abandoned this game the moment the profits dropped

>le "how do you know it's reddit?" post

>people memeing that it's the patch

are people really this 1 denominational?

The patch isn't that bad, it's the fact that we had to wait 8 months for this mediocre as fuck update. If it was released right after ti honesstly not much would have changed, but we had a complete 8 month drought for like a somewhat above average in content amount patch, and a ui update. yeah good job valve holy fuck what where they doing for almost this entire year

>queue again
>guy leaves in draft
jfc i'll just stick to league and hots

>thorin vid
>2h long
Didnt expect anything less desu

based Thorin , redditswecucks on GIGAsuicidewatch

all 3 of us are undercover

I'm watching it slightly fast forwarded

can we have this dota 2 back? youtube.com/watch?v=Fdgbf2giO9A

timestamp in the description for the various topics, so you can easily skip around

Luna is the hero on top, monkey king on the bottom

Is it just comeback gold? where he has twice my kills but we have reasonably close networth? not counting the last bit of gold he got for wiping our team at their ancient

just play wc3 if you need to live in the past gramps

Skeleton King is overrated.

WHAT?

>playing 6.83
i'd rather kill myself

Luna is the hero on top, monkey king on the bottom

did bernie kill purges soul?

I think it got pulled down, I can't find it anymore

Dotards?

Nice

I know, its just that whever thorin posts something, its one hour long at least
Remember his rant about league or whatever few years back when he made like a 10, 15 page essay on the matter?

Ok I've figured it out, this is how you 100% save Dota

Icefrog leaves Valve and continues working from where he left off on Dota1

Any other lads sending shit to icefrog's discord?

Why is Spell/Spell/Passive/Spell objectively the best design for hero abilities?

friendly reminder

what are the current support meme heroes

So you don't misclick your ult
I'm looking at you tide

what's his name

stfu you monkey

he probably has a new one by now

>Be multibillion dolar company
>Own the world's most used PC gaming platform
>Take 8 months to realease a mediocre, bug-riddled, casual patch for your most played game
>Lose a large amount of players
>Reddit will still defend your ass

i love u guys that went on the thread and talked about the memeback mechanics

>can't play with white people anymore
this game is dead

reminder for those of you just joining us

>CTRL F "reddit"
>18 results
Quality thread

>The secret is out
What did AM see boys

>Reddit balances this game
>Expect us to ignore the big dog in the room any more

What did ya expect, m'non? Reddit owns us by the balls now.

Her huge, pulsating, feminine vagina

Would you prefer they listen to the retardation posted in this thread?

It literally runs the shitshow that is dota2.

I remember when he pissed off all the Polish people and got fired by ESL his rant was at least 10k words. High-functioning autism or jusr aspergers, whatever the case I like him and think he's quite smart
