I would like to shitpost with you but I actually have work to do today.
Wish was another comfy day of nothing at the office.

Well, shit.
Juan Gutierrez
people who uninstall after a loss reinstall the game the next morning
James Bailey
>not uninstalling because the game is fundamentally not dota anymore SC2 is more BW than Dota 2 is now Dota. Enjoy your deathball and esports.
Jacob Fisher
everything you said is wrong.
take your meds grandpa.
Luke Peterson
Buy the fucking arcana.
Jordan Taylor
Awh, everyone look at the cute baby duck!
Landon Nguyen
>dota 2 gen I miss properly named threads
Mason Hernandez
The current iteration is the epitome of Dota. Dota is and always was a shitty casualized warcraft 3 for "people" too bad for ladder.

Lincoln Nguyen
So free Battle Cuck is upon us. I want to try Monkey King roaming(played like Earth Spirit). Please tell me how good of an idea this is.
Brayden Powell
Low priority is a damn Wild West. Sometimes you get games that you are almost amazed that the people playing can breath and thing at the same time. Other times the games are like TI7 qualifiers
Juan Williams
>support alchemist is still liquid shit
It hurts
Brayden Powell
>40% slow >1s stun >less armor than ES
You'd need another reliable slow to land enough hits
Adrian Nguyen
half the time my games when i have them in low prio are better than ranked
Landon Jones
>arteezy listening to anime mash ups. OFFICIALLY OUR GUY.
I thought it was a hot epic reddit meme but are people literally scared of towers and HG push like people just wanna farm and kill in this meta it's driving me fucking wild
Gabriel Robinson
Armlet + Shadow Blade + Sunder + Dagon
Nathaniel Nguyen
about to play my first match in a month as my internet is finally stable. what are the best supports this meta?
Evan Turner
Me
Jose Ramirez
play ogre
Luke Wright
Why would you do that to yourself? Play the only enjoyable role in this game, aka mid.
Juan Kelly
I like support and offlane
Gabriel Perry
constant ganks and rotates on ur lane wards being sniped people picking autismal shit like OD, Tinker or Invoker shrines being missused by ape supports/offlane or dumb nigger junglers ala LC Naix and being put in the lane that people focus the most in what way is mid fun?

Thats slow as shit now though >keeping rot on while hes spinning What the fuck user
Isaac Hernandez
You can come up with several differences that make Dota a very different game from WC3 (which to me make the question "is one a casual version of the other" moot). 7.00 Dota is nothing more than a worthless, retarded trash version of former Dota.
Adrian Parker
Reminder that CK is sleeper OP, just don't pick him against the few heroes he's shit against (eg kotol).
Wyatt Perez
I'd argue that you should buy Echo Sabre in every game with CK, the stats and the double hit is too good to pass. Skadi is also pretty amazing item, offering tons of stats.
Hudson Peterson
Guess the Hero DOTARDS
Retarded teammate edition!
Gabriel Miller
>halberd oh shit I unironically forgot that item existed
Bentley Ortiz
tinker
Dominic Jackson
Whilst it's a good item in a vacuum, it suffers from the issue that many "good" items on CK have in general, they're midgame and end up having to be replaced. Armlet, Echo Sabre, that's basically 5k worth of items you'll have to replace in a potential lategame. Echo sabre isn't bad per se, it's just situational.
Skadi, however, is a good pickup in general yes.
Brayden Diaz
Juggernaut was never the man, it is a righteous spirit of fury inside the mask who possesses the next person to wear it.
Now that the mask is broken, some of the spirit's sealed power has been unleashed, taking the form of a spirit dragon.
The Juggernaut now walks the land, entering into battle after battle, not caring who he fights, so that the mask may eventually be destroyed, and the righteous spirit freed to do as it wills.

juggernaut hooked up with PA and got some of the power when she came

>Game going badly. >Everyone but me is feeding. >Team gives up on winning and let the enemy do whatever they want while farming safely to protect their KDA and gpm stats.
I swear these assholes are worse than leavers and feeders
Michael Gomez
Nice try lads, you weren't thinking shitty enough
Jackson Price
it's not that bad desu swap halberd for butterfly and you get okay build
Tyler Carter
Oh shit, didn't even realize. Been spamming Pudge the entire night trying to get the calculations back on track so I'm kinda slaughtered.
Now the hook is noticeably slower (9,375% to be precise), but not slow enough to fuck everything up. I've been both overshooting and undershooting all sorts of hooks but after enough trial and error I figured out the middle ground again and things pretty much went back to normal.
Overall this change is great. If you can consistently lead targets and hit hooks the 9.375% speed nerf isn't significant enough. If you cant lead targets then you are fucked. It's a big nerf that mostly affects shitters and will ensure that Pudge will remain secretly OP.
Though I have noticed that it is a whole lot easier to dodge mid-long range hooks, so no more ez captain obvious fishing.
Aiden Ross
>it's not that bad >0 damage
Chase Nelson
how are you surposed to build that ape anyway
Ayden Sanchez
may be it was that kind of game there you die without building three and half defensive items
Ayden Wright
Phase, maelstrom, aghs, satanic
Dylan Phillips
you let me know user
Daniel Scott
Shh, they're going to find out the hero is actually playable.
Josiah Sanchez

Thomas Russell
Yea he didn't need linkens and halberd Ideally Halberd would be good against that, but the item sucks unfortunately. Butterfly and either Skadi or Satanic would be my choice.
Aiden Peterson
You never need Halberd just like you never need Bloodthorn, people just build them for the memechanic.
Colton Barnes
Wings going Lina carry against Newbee with Centaur and TA and winning
Is /ourgirl/ back boiz
Nicholas Hill
New GoodSnipers are Lina and Jokehero
John Wilson
Oh shit I played a lot of carry line a month ago but lost more than I won, what was the build?
Benjamin Gutierrez
Yeah but china also plays Legion Commander and that hero is SHIT
Jordan Wood
Lina* She's badAbaddon
Blake Clark
Your face is shit
Logan Jackson
Its ok user, happens to the best of us and i figured as much taht the speed hook nerf was just aimed towards shitters or if you want it, fotm shitters so its cool but i dont understand the 2nd thing, that it cant hook invulnerable units or whatever
Brayden Garcia
Bloodstone>Shadow Blade>Shivas(to presumably not get eviserated by -armor of TA and Weaver)
To be fair it was 4th pick Legion against Weaver(which is pretty shit against Overwhelming Odds) and a Warlock dual-lane which won't do jack shit to her
Also iceice Tusk(one of the best Tusk players) making some big saves against Epicenter
Nathaniel Cooper
Are you watching ingame? In memeclopz stream the game is just starting
Cameron Foster
but bloodthorn is goodDaedalus and goodMKB combined halberd is shitty item though, it's supposed to counter ranged carries but has range of 600 in the age of dragon lance and attack range talents they should either double it or pump evasion to ridiculous level (like 40% or 50%) to make this item worthy
Ethan Lopez
Game one just ended with a sort of stomp(Lina getting Godlike in 23 minutes)
I hope Wings brings their form to Kiev
Evan Bailey
Oh okay, I got baited by liquiddota not being updated.
Henry Foster
Neither Daedalus nor MKB get cockblocked by:
Linken's BKB Manta Eul's Scepter Guardian Greaves Lotus Orb Omni Abaddon Fucking LC of all heroes
Bloodthorn is an overpriced piece of shit that is situational at best, that shit is the LC of heroes.
Luis Jackson
>bloodthorn >bad item
Found the negative mmr
Xavier Lewis
what episode is this?
Leo Hill
>liquid
WHERE? I WILL HUNT DOWN EACH OF THEM ONE BY ONE
Eli Garcia
Not that user but Bloodthorn is mediocre because its weighted down by the shittiest item in the game: orchid. The non-orchid part of the item is fine, its the orchid part that continues to convert gold into no game impact.
A "turn me into Tinker" item of sorts.
John Ramirez
>mfw I have exactly the same number of games with hex and bloodthorn and bloodthorn has the higher winrate
Isaac Hill
Also, according to dotabuff, bloodthorn has a higher use rate AND win rate compared to scythe. Orchid may not be the best item, but bloodthorn is godly
Easton Harris
I will never understand how this doesn't click with people.
Yes, when you finish a 7k+ gold item it probably means the game is going well for you. And internally you don't track games where you lost before you completed bloodthorn as because of its shitty orchid build up.
I win nearly every game I buy a rapier but I only do it when I don't fear losing with it and can get to 6k+ gold. Bloodthorn is 1k MORE than that
Owen Wright
>he buys bloodthorn in bulk every single time >being able to farm means you have won the game, ergo your actual items dont matter >the many other fallacies with this post
Wyatt Peterson
>this faggot hasn't bought more rapiers than power treads
Leo Myers
I guess I should start rushing Divine.
Levi Brown
>t1 chyna dota w Xyclopzz HNNNGGG
Alexander Taylor
r8 me /d2g/ also consider this is from ranked matchmaking only
Aiden Gray
HOLY SHIT GUYS!
Some cyber-sleuths just found a hidden teaser that Icefrog put out for the next hero that's gonna be released.
It's pretty cryptic though, so it's beyond me what this means.
Jaxson Jones
I'm pretty sure it's concept art for the new hero
Justin Brooks
>almost 18k tower damage what the fuck
Jonathan Gomez
one month ago had 17.5k as LD before that my record was a 16.9k as Lycan in SD with a party of friends won that game with something like 1-2-1 kda and 1k hero damage
Dylan Gonzalez
>EG_bootcamps_for_kiev.webm
Xavier Wood
So do you go the cooldown reduction or chains on him now?
If you're doing meme-magic you'll have a lot of items that benefit from the cooldown reduction on top of your abilities.
Carson Jenkins
I see no reason to go for chain duration over cooldown at all.
Kevin Gray
Probably cd unless your team has bad disable, definitely if you're going a physical build
Dylan Barnes
what the point of taking chains if you can't permaroot anymore
Josiah Martinez
I hear it's calle A'non The Doturd
Austin Garcia
Now with Octarine it's a 6 second cooldown when before it was 5.1 seconds with Octarine + the Cooldown Reduction talent.
Camden Jackson
>5 second root with 1 second down time with a octarine is bad t.2k
Landon Hernandez
>Wings pick Gyro and Razor as their carries
I know they're the ultimate draft memelords, but come on.
John Myers
I'm sure it's a great likeness of you user, Doturd of /d2g/
