hi

I haven't followed pro dota in a while. What's the pros using a lot? I've seen some pitlord :^) from EG, but i feel like it's a hero that they solely specialize.

...

i want to hug her and kiss her and smell her hair and cuddle!

techies

Lycan seems legit

Xth for BODY BUILDER PORRA!

>grant roasting the shit outta sumail & goodsniper
toppest of keks

>the hardest character in the game (Pudge) is also the only hero with a skillshot

Really makes you think about DotA's Skillcap

yeah i just wanna know what might be good right now since i wanna keep up with the meta and i don't really play that much.

>Clockwerk
Pudge isn't even the hardest hero in the game like i dunno i think i smell a newfag over here. hehe

actually, he's been removed from -cm along other heroes that got rewarderk

pudge is literally among the 10 easiest to play
>buy tranquils
>press w
>you are now the strongest fighting hero in the game

>give up and start feeding
>team still fights and prolongs the game for 30 minutes

do these people have nothing else to do?
you're not winning this. let it go and search for a game where you can win.
the only explanation for people to be so counterproductive is that they're retarded addicts that don't even care what they do as long it involves mindlessly pushing buttons.

wow babyknight is shit

I almost never give up but the last 4 games I have played are megaover by 14 min and I afk farm the enemy jungle until we lose

how to meepo

learn to press tab

There's always a way to win the game. You just need to be coordinated and stuff. It's not like the other team are robots or even pro players. They can get cocky and mess up too. Feeding and giving up will only just keep you in the shit mmr you're in and waiting for someone to carry you is pussyshit

>i can0t shoot you wit muh arrouh
t. shitpost
he said hook
his jungle has been nerfed, why no lycan love?

>Miracle isnt even that good
-d2g

how can this general keep on getting BTFO'd so hard

10:59 Arteezy: im Done
10:59 Arteezy: Im joining Horde moron

I always do it to piss off the feeders or people "who need to go". Abandon the game or shut the fuck up you shitstain.

>internationals won: 0

>There are 13 good players in this world

Good one

what the fuck was that pudge "play"

Why is bane getting no love this patch at all? Dude almost has a below 40& winrate at this point.

>only 13 people have won ti

well meme'd friend

>I always do it to piss off the feeders or people "who need to go"

Ehh. I kinda feed once in 5 minutes and that's it.
But keep fighting the good fight. I guess.

hes a big guy he can take it

>sumail reported EE so he gets lpq

Dotards?

What's the correct way of starting a fight against enigma/cm etc. You're in your base and the enemies have shadow demon + luna illusion spam meme and they are just sitting blink range beyond their team, waiting to counter-initiate. How do you win in this situation?

All TIs before TI4 are irrelevant so they don't count, and Shansheng and Banana aren't good.

Were you really so stupid that you couldn't figure this out by yourself?

only beta nu-male cucks play support

What a non event

clear the wave
Quickly smoke and wrap around
Find the nig and lynch him before the hole
glimmer/forcestaff the eclipse
This all depends on you not having a shit draft though

orchid enigma, he's useless

...

he said while begging for a lane support, tangoes and wards

depends on your heroes
one alternative is to smoke and wrap around with 2 or 3 heroes with stuns or initiators and try to get pickoffs.

...

I don't think i've ever lost to Techies in 7.00 onwards despite being overall better than previous iterations

fuken dogstains

>tfw techies main

Decision making too hard for you?

My friends how do I use Earth Spirit's ultimate properly? I always feel like I'm doing it wrong

I applaud you good sir
>tips bomb

im just glad you acknowledge that miracle isnt good

so alliance are back huh

youtube.com/watch?v=OkdXtEWgFb8&feature=youtu.be
>This is a vid worthy play in LeL

the one thing u gotta know is that when magnetized enemies go near a remnant, they magnetize enemies near them as well (apart from refreshing the effect on themselves)
I usually roll in, stun, silence and try to magnetize at least two heroes. if they are all clumped up, those two usually end up magnetizing the rest of the team.Then just wait for the six seconds to be over, and refresh, and refresh, etc.

any interesting pro/semi-pro games played today?

Thanks my dude, I just started playing him so all advice is welcome.

when 7.02 with nerfs?

New player here. Recently switched from LoL to Dota 2.

What heroes allow me to pull off sick plays like this?

youtube.com/watch?v=FHojxbrCTA4

chinese new year in like 4 days

theyll announce an event then that will take at least a week to get implemented with balance changes

a chinese new year battle pass*

this is quite the bait

don't do this again

>eat kebab from place down street
>tastes like angel grool it's so good
>stomach feels like shit
7.02 WHEN

come watch starladder_en, akke is about to lose all hope

I need some fast help, I randomed morphling and haven't played him in ages, how do I effectively use his morph ability during laning, farming and teamfights?

play support morph you dumb cunt

...

I'm gonna marry sheepdick!

you just stay all agi all the time unless they can prevent you from morphing (aoe silences, hexes etc)

in the laning stage buy 4 branches circlet 2 tangos and morph all agi, if you are against some super strong dual lane and your support is some shakr or other retard then you might aswell go jungle

I need to breed Auroth

We got an Omni, how do I use the morph ability during laning, farming and team fights?

>no orc hero
what the fuck

Jugornot

Aren't axe, warlock and disruptor orcs?

better sell all my shit I guess

that's a great combo isn't it? wave in with high agi, take damage but it's ok because healbomb while you morph str, 1k dmg minute 3

Aren't ogres a type of stupid orc?

not green orcs

in dota orcs are called oglodi and there are plenty of them

axe disruptor warlock naix prolly some others i dont remember

but in dota all orcs are super smart manlet wizards instead of brutes, axe is in his teenage rebelion stage and does his best conan impression but you can still see his true nature with lines like "good day sir"

Why do orcs gotta be green?

well that was a bad design decision

Why does Dota 2's lore not even exist?

It's just copypasta'd WC3 shit.

because lore is cringe shit

because orcs are green in warcraft, so I assume they were green in dota 1

After seeing the amateurs valve uses to write their comics, I'm glad the lore has died.

no one gives a shit about the lore

this

post modern doesn't fit dota 2 as it does tf2.

Why do some heroes like Windranger have absolute garbage talents, where none of them are good, meanwhile other heroes like Omniknight, who are ALREADY ridiculous, have amazing talents start to finish? There's no way anyone who actually plays this game decides this kind of shit.

IM GOING TO MARRY WINDRUNNER!

HOW DO WE SAVE DOTA?

we go out together

>be winning
>servers shit themselves
>poor network detected, no match recorded
YOU FAT FUCK OWE ME 25 MMR POINTS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Windrunner can't complain when Troll Warlord's talents exist.
Like holy shit. Troll's talents are objectively worse than +20 stats. He was literally nerfed by talents existing.

>Stomping game as luna
>Everyone lagging as we about to take base at 22 mins
>Game is now safe to leave

How is Valve such a dogshit company.

you can't marry fictional characters

because the current talents are just placeholders for real talents

even icefrog cannot get 500 changes right in first try
really, i wouldnt be surprised if half of them got totally reworked

Sheepdick is a (real) person though

writing something good would be too much work for valve
you'd need to hire some actual fantasy writers and shit
and there'd need to be some real effort
but nobody cares, it doesn't drive sales, so why bother

For valve you always have to think of it this way
>Would X raise profit for Valve by a considerable amount?
>If yes, it'll get implemented. If no, it doesn't have a chance unless Reddit posts about it endlessly for a couple weeks so Valve throw them a half assed bone

That the saddest fuckign shit too. It's not like he's a fuckign dominant hero right now. Give him some ACTUAL shit

Hell, it would be VERY easy to do a side based on his ranged form, another his melee.

Lvl 25 +7% bash for melee form. Fuckign Hire me valve i'll do better than icefraud

good. that hero deserves to be in the dumpster. troll pickers are always retarded, just like furion pickers.
