Man what with the Keeper of the meme pick all the time ?? He literally fucking useless in every phase of the game

First for reddit

What dotard has the biggest penis?

NEUTRAL CREEP GOLD CHANGE WHEN
5-MAN NERFS WHEN
MONKEY KING NERFS WHEN
PL BUFF WHEN
RAINDROPS REMOVED WHEN
BOUNTY RUNE NERFS WHEN

Guys what if caster magnus w 15% spell amp at level 10

Pudge the Butcher
nerfs fucking when

tfw you play "support", maybe feed and get carried every game

WHY IS THE PLAYER COUNT DROPPING

;_;

I miss this game
Why did 7.00 happened?

farming is an abomination

Delete when. He can't be balanced, he's always going to be bullshit and/or useless

>no trap hero

lmao this pudge

>PL buff

Nigga strong as fuck. Mr. 1k

why not just increase fucking creep gold then instead of lowering it
everyone would get more farm out of it even support cucks who advocated anti farming changes

liquid is looking solid

me

so we need even more inflation?

everyone is already crying about being 6-slotted at 30mins

>AGILITY SKELETON
Clinkz.
>INTELLIGENCE SKELETON
Pugna.
>STRENGTH SKELETON
?

>what is TA (Trap Assassin)

Guys, i can't play KOTL right , i feel so useless late game help plox

>1ks projecting
he's been useless since 6.85 but still manages to get nerfed one way or another in every patch since then

Used to be Boner King but Blizzard just feel like wanting to ruin the fun for everyone

just lower kill gold even further, and leave/increase the xp rewards
kills should be about getting loads of xp while farming should be about actually getting gold at a decently fast rate
feel free to call me 1k if this sounds like a retarded idea

Why do people pick brewmaster?
He will never be buffed if he wins pro games. Like seriously kuro WTF?

Post your favorite

INT
STR
AGI

heroes

>Blizzard
Valve didn't delete Skeleton King because of Blizzard. They deleted Skeleton King because of China.

it's a bm pick
as in "we can win even picking useless heroes"

lmao he actually believes this

OD
tony
SF

leshrac
timbersaw
drow

Your average Blizzshill lady and gentlements

im pretty sure nobody can copyright a spooky skellington with a sword. it was because of china and they wanted every regions doto to look the same. for other heroes they just changed their name when bliz bitched at them

Lina
Phoenix
Ember Spirit

/d2g/ how to git gud with KOTL ???

Copyright laws work in such way that if the customer can confuse the two products, it might break copyright law.

Because point of trademark is to be identifiable.

So Valve couldn't keep it because it could be confused with actual SK

pick a different hero instead of trash like kotl

It was part of the compromise for Blizzard letting the rights to use "dota" go to Valve. Omniknight's blue color scheme. "Windrunner" and "Necrolyte" were also thrown under a bus for it

spam mana leak like the faggot you are

Pretty sure something as vague and generic as "the king of skeletons" can't be copyrighted. That'd be as ridiculous as somebody copyrighting oxygen.
If that were the case I'm pretty sure Valve could fight the copyright claim and win easily.

why is shit like naga siren allowed to be in the game when it literally looks like a wow mob?

Have you done your part in techies removal of the remaining player base?

Miracle is LITERALLY the new arteezy

Pugna
Beastmaster
AGI heroes are shit but probably drow or venge maybe.

Keeper of The Light
Omni Knight
Venomancer

How is Liquid so bad now? They used to actually be legitimately good - great, even.
What the fuck happened that just made them trash comparable to Team Freedom? Is Kuroky really that bad of a captain?

>If that were the case I'm pretty sure Valve could fight the copyright claim
and not necessarily win and lose a lot of money in the process

>Pretty sure something as vague and generic as "the king of skeletons" can't be copyrighted.
Context matters when talking about IP.

What about late game ? i think all his gimmick kinda fell off during tis phase

but they're pretty good right now?

>can heal team for 400hp with a well placed illuminate
>mana leak is still fucking unfair at late game
>Blinding light is super useful if the enemy didn´t picked a bkb or has the spent 5-sec one. or even forcing to pop it on melee carries
>Can bring back people to him sor your team can quickly pick up an item or regen back at the fountain
???????
you´re just bad dude. KOTL is god-tier support and broken as fuck

having no mana never falls off, you force them to bkb or die if you and your team arent retarded

they won every game in this qualifier so far

>comparable to Team Freedom
u went a bit overboard there

>they win against literal bads.
oko

Why is miracle feeding?
STOP FEEDING WTF

Whoever plays carry for Horde needs to be fired

its 500 hp

kotl is generally a piece of shit hero though, he's nice in some situations, especially if you want to drag the game out by split pushing/nuking waves

EG and Secret dumpstered the open qualifiers for the major/TI a while back. That didn't stop them from being dumpstered in the actual tournament itself.
Qualifiers don't actually mean anything.

they literally can't have better results atm, what do you want?

so theyre bad because they win against bad teams?

What the fuck are you talking about

>Miracle ends the game with 7 kills and 8 deaths on a carry hero
You know what's wrong with liquid? It's this guy. He cannot function without the jew and that trap n0brain.

it was bm. he showed that he can win even when feeding

he went looking for those youtube moves

Yeah I bet it bm when he lost them the boston qualifier.

>artour 90 mins in queue

ded fucking gaem

Yes Miracle is fucking shit

rtc was getting 90min queues even when this was considered an alive game

wish ded gaem shitters had an attention span longer than a gnat

stop posting bulba

REGIONLOCK /POL/SHITS BLOWN THE FUCK OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUTTTTTT

Will our guy EE dumpster peruvians today?

that was on his main account though

>brings liquid down in flames
>still gets to go to Boston as DC's SECOND coach

How does he keep getting away with it?

finished packing your bags pablo?

What did stormfag north americans mean by this?

It always was like this.

>rtz downloading league
this is gonna be good

>giving this guy a (you)
>even giving his post a second glance
lad...

Yeah region lock did nothing wrong. I'm sure all of rtcs VODs are full of him

if the option is to play with shitskins or not play at all, i choose not to play at all.

OK
Below are the Swedes, but who are the five niggers on top?

Meme magic

>build echo saber
>lose
HMMM

The Pillar Men.

greeks of course

Then you can fuck off you subhuman. But your decision is affecting rtz. He can't practice now.
Another game dies by /pol/s hand.
BRABRABRABRABRABRAVO

WHY WOULD YOU -EVER- GET LENS BEFORE BLINK

>team liquid plays a game
>they draft an early-mid all in and get a rax by 22m
>17 games later nobody knows what's going on
"pro dota" xd

based gorgc using singsings rep to launch his esports career

We're gonna make it to 60 minutes my fellow underage rtz stream watchers.
>inb4 Reddit thread incoming

>gaben plays dota for the first time in his life, region locks the game one week later
>game dies

kek

I liked the title. Have an upvote fellow memer.

>60+ minute queue
Those /pol/tards really did it.
They killed the game

RTZ queue so long he's apparanrly going to play League rofl

>implying valve didnt remove region lock a week ago

m8 if any of u actually played dota youd know us east is a shit hole like it was again

tinker
kunkka
slark

shouldnt the game match him with 4ks at this point?

Ironically, 90% of league unranked pubs are children third worlders.

I would only enjoy watching it if he did a 5 stack and microed every hero himself.
