sheever looking HOT as always

>disruptor

yes, hello, dota 2 (3)

How do you play Treant?
Stealth level 1, max shield, then max stealth?
Start with windlace+OoV? Boots?
Rush arcanes, rush midas?
Sit in lane harassing with stun or roam around with leech seed?

How specifically do you play him.

reminder

>leveling shield

...

>slavs are only yuropean when they win

this will never grow old

d-delet this

finally, a dota 2 thread.
time to spam terrorblade

steamcommunity.com/id/lolmikes
add me on dota

>

Choke on my dick, faggot. How is this argument?

I hate Sheever

tfw no terrorblade gf

How do I find a bot match? Why isn't there an option to search for just whatever in any region?

make me good

Make it instant again, keep it a root.

now disables channeling spells

where the fuck are my E S P O R T S

Shield is only good if the other lanes use it to get hyper aggressive in trading.
If they don't, its a waste of skillpoints.
Leech is the best laning skill and midgame skill.
Stealth doesn't scale well.

The problem is basically you want to reach level 12, to have all skills except ulti maxed.
And Ulti isn't that great compared to Echo Saber + Basher

open qualifier start monday

notable teams include
>coL
>prodota
>vgJ

>level up leech seed first
>stealth isnt good
>shield is bad

how can you be this fucking dumb

>How do you play Treant?
You don't. Just like you don't play Brood.

Some heroes are shit this patch. I say that as someone who loves to play brood. Just don't bother.

>vgj
lets go

so this is life without artour's stream

anyone want to play a bot match? i'm bored

...

Is dota 2... dying?

no seriously I can't find a match at all wtf is this

nigga everyones moving back to HoN

dota.rgp.io/
Currently on a downturn, but far from dead

yes

no but srsly

hon is way more dead I was asking a real question and i'm not retarded

Does anyone have that >No IU picture?
I have a feeling we're gonna need it soon.

abed joined before the deadline, they wont get to embarrass coL during the opens

it's not going to be dead if you're there~

what if Sing wins Kiev

>tfw you keep getting matched with same people over and over

he said earlier he has no stack man

sad!

vancouver?

>tfw you aren't getting matched with anyone

I'm considering playing with lag at this point.

nah, just regular dotard.

Yes I just want to thank the new patch for giving me freedom and curing my addiction with how shitty it turned out to be.
Now I just lurk here once in a while to check up on the drama but that will be over soon as well.

hahahaha fiddling match is fun ain't it?

I literally hit 20 mins searching.

I'm searching in the same region as you though so who knows.

It's not shitty as a game, but the matchmaking options are completely fucking retarded.

game is alive in NA

>SEA

giving up in 5 mins let's see how trustworthy you are

HoN has more sea players pro

>tfw more hours than mmr

What's the perfect height to play dota 2 optimally?

NOPE

full of shit

dota is dead

Get me out of this 15-20 minute game meta jesus christ I beg you

>15-20 minute game meta
the fuck are you on about? it's never less than 30 mins now thanks to shrines

at least put some effort into your shitposting

wtf I love artificially extending the game length now

that's not the point

the point is that fast push strats are dead in the current meta, which is shit

what did he mean by this

but fast push strats are bad remember muh TI4

what do i search to get a match?

like what region? seriously this is retarded

us west

>muh TI4
wasn't even fast push strats, that was teams winning teamfights early and causing the other team to give up

ffs at least pretend to know what you're talking about

whats the item timings on this new magic damage ember build?

mael > veil > radiance?

veil > mael > radiance?

>farm oriented game
mael
>fighting oriented game
veil

radiance is a meme

ENDURANCE RUN

Reminder that Aui, EE, Fata, n0tail, misery, and pieliedie have won a LAN after leaving C9.

YOUR MOM IS A MEME

Threadly reminder to sit straight.

also never do drugs kids

>but now that Ancient stacking got nerfed he isn't that good anymore
returning player here
how'd it get nerfed

Shield is quirky.
>Be in Lane
>Be at 80% HP
>Treant shields me
>Get 80/200/360/560 extra HP that works against NUKES
>Get healed for 60/120/180/240 HP from regen
>Decides to sit around passive for 15 seconds instead of immediately just diving/trade with the enemy, abusing the massive EHP advantage i have
Ita skill where the regen is not even close to the damage block. Sitting around passive and get healed is LITERALLY wasting it.
Its why its often better to sit around and wait for people to get dived/ganked, and then apply it, because they are too braindead to take advantage of the massive lane advantage it gives them

Then again, this is a hero where going 2 2 4 0 is viable, because of how his skills scale. Or 4 2 1 1 if really snowballing.
He is also a hero that isn't stupidly level hungry, otherwise he would be a pain to play as

camps only spawn at odd minutes
(and the initial :30 mark)

/id/lolmikes
dota 2
please

So when the fuck is Icefrog going to give us a patch that actually changes the meta?

It's the same fucking shit as last patch, but with slightly less jungling. The same fucking hero picks (bar Lone Druid) as before, the same fucking pace as before, the same fucking laning as before.

oh so that was why my stacking attempts failed the other day despite the fact that I timed it perfectly

[email protected]

Just like DC and EG are NA when they win, right? Otherwise you keep quiet.

eg is always na, no one refutes this

dc on the other hand....

>nerf meta heroes
>reverse the nerfs and then some through abilities that they get super easy because memefight exp scaling is mega retarded
>same heroes are picked anyway
just icefrog things

imagine the collection of dotard dick pics icefrog has

nigger it's only a matter of time before dota 2 becomes league of legends

>eg is always na, no one refutes this
EG is generally NA, and it's obviously a USA based organization

However I believe that the player's nationalities are what you should be looking at. Otherwise the whole NA vs EU debate makes zero sense if you're going to just bend the rules so it's the most convinient for you.

tfw no one wants to play dota 2 with you

i'm in europe, should i give hon a try?

i played dota2 since august 2015, i can't really digest this patch, i feel that the little i knew about dota was washed away

i reached 2000 mmr and now i'm only going down, it's just pure frustration

You should start playing HoN yea.

but are there players in europe? i never heard anyone playing this game

there are some. It's not active like dota and league even though it's miles better

>even though it's miles better
perhaps back in beta
ever since they made it f2p it has gone straight downhill, the pro scene continues to migrate to dota every hontour

I want to like HoN but the fact that there is no fucking quickbuy is almost a dealbreaker

They don't move to dota because it's better, it's because there's more money. If big streamers started playing HoN it would become more popular

Invoker is objectively the most fun to play hero in any moba ever

you haven't played tree

more money
more popularity
more competition
more better

less fun
less enjoyment

according to you

very objective

if EG is always NA..

then fnatic is always EU?

>a team of Ukrainians a Russian and an Estonian are eu

>im not bending the rules

wut?

did sea-fnatic train and compete for qualifiers in the EU region?

I didn't make the original picture fyi
