Dota 2 General - /d2g/

Hi Ursa, how are you liking 7.XX so far?

Do you have TWC or Commiecast?

i am very upset with all of you for not telling me how good cm is with a midas and the +60dps talent
she can farm camps with the speed of a weaker carry, this shit is insane

>talent tree
also Mana boots flows better, not that all in on an early game item

>patch 7.03
>Wild Axes still not applying attack modifiers

That and attack speed is already covered with AC and a moon shard if you're raping radiant hard enough. If you can afford to get octarine and refresher on Underlord you can afford a moonshard or two

or you could have alch buy one and apply it to you befause lmao moonshard can be shared

hes waving goodbye, guess again!

>7.0@+xxx att range
why nut?

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried the broodlings broodmother build and won?

ftfy

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried the broodmother and won?

And if you have a greaves user like Dazzle, Omni or Disruptor on your team?

Is not fair

ez, is this bait? autism lens, maybe?

>Aether lens on Underlord
For what pvrpose? You want to drop a pit as close to you as possible so you can quickly follow with atos and firestorm for free kills.

>spectate sumail
>see this
seems good man

F-FREE CONSTANT TANGO?

SingSing is our guy

>i do this
>i get reported
>pro does it
>gets commended
Hello?

CLQ
vree?
yeah, thats kindda iffy.. builds up to Lotus also

>Talent tree
+2 mana regen
+10% spell amp
+60 attack speed
+50 hp regen
BoT still the better choice

You have a point with lotus, but I don't see how Lotus in more useful except against specific teams, or if your teammates have a bad habit of wandering off

he solokilled arteezy with this build
can you solokill arteezy?

FTFY, babe

No need to thank me

Dragon Knight porn when?

>70% win rate with necro

is this the easiest hero to play?

>100% winrate with riki and sniper reporting

no

Reminder that if you touch a jungle creep when you have gold advantage, you should uninstall

STOP JUNGLING WHEN YOU HAVE THE ADVANTAGE

STOP SPLITTING UP TO FARM WHEN YOU'RE AT YOUR POWER PEAKS

WHEN THEY HAVE A T3 DOWN, DON'T FUCKING JUNGLE WHEN THEY HAVE OPEN SHRINES

No, that would be Wraith King
1. Press Q
2. Hit for 2k with a crit
3. Over-extend, kill the support, and escape for free

prove it

>ever picking 2 mana regen
am i being memed

thanks! helped me become underleved and underfarmed because i was confident that we can do it.

really helpful!

I did say 100% winrate didn't I? :^)

but to be honest, I only pick these heroes when it's a perfect game for them

Both come easily the longer the game goes, I just go for +2 mana to drop a surprise pit if I get ganked by three heros at once

I play Aghs, BoT, rapierx3 and silver edge Wraith King as well, so maybe you are getting memed on. I don't know, I'm just a [below average mmr] shitter

>monkey king is spotted if an enemy comes within 200 range of the tree
>boundless strike mana cost increased from 100 to 125
to be honest

>at an advantage
>hurr I'm underfarmed

Fuck off.
If the enemy team has nothing because they got fucked up the ass during laning game, not pushing should be a diagnosable sign of mental retardation

Enemy team had brown boots and a basi at 20 minutes. We take a tower and back off as they respawn
Our carries then sit in OUR jungle waiting for creeps to respawn
The enemy team farms back into the game and then shits on us because they were 5 carries and our brain dead carries wouldn't get their shit together

I honestly don't know why I play this game when ONE person can totally ruin the game
>We push now
>No
>Lose
There. Wasted an hour

>the greeks
is this the reddit team from the last major that only did well because of the tournament's meme format?

BoTs is bis but they are 2000 that are better spent on another pretty well known item- really?
DUDE, do this. Spend 2 cents on Sold Ring, get infinte mana, builds towards Bstoned, you now never feed gold if can press buttons
this knowledge comes from the 4k trench, am i delusional?

Money King is shit now desu
Any carry with similar farm blows him up one v one if the game is past 15 minutes

Mmmm...I love it

>monkey king is a carry
cute mmr

I actually never thought of getting a soul ring into bloodstone, and now I feel extra stupid. Thanks, user.

>le Zai meme
Riki is far better at being whatever the fuck you think MK is supposed to be

Clearly bugged gaining on a loss

but what the fuck has changed from last week? I can't win a game to gain MMR to save my life anymore, what the fuck man

>tfw I hear bloodstone on underlord

I would usually think this is retarded but I saw somebody do it in a game of mine and proceed to carry the game.

MK has been a support since before the latest patch. You are just bad and never see anything interesting in your mmr bracket.

i live in nyc as well, pretty sure there is only twc, no comcast

Trying to meme him a support doesn't make a support
His passive is totally useless because he's going to get BTFO every fight if he tries to use it

If you want to do a support to semi-carry transition, CK is much better.

not if you have the 'oh, 2k gold, lets get that BoTs' mentality. Mana Boots and Soul Ring are among the best items in the game, along Stick, Shadow Amulet (OP) etc.. sufice to say this is less effective the higher you try to climb if ever, which is not fun and also irrelevant because youtube

>stop playing ranked years ago
>decide to give it a shot again
>Dotabuff has my unranked games as "Very High Skill Level"
>mmr is at 3.4k at a "Normal Skill level"
>figure that it'd be easy to gain mmr because I have proof I'm objectively better
>down to 2.9k mmr now

Why do I even play this stupid fucking game?

Time Warner Cable has been proven to be fucking with League of Legends and gamers in general. Look it up on youtube, Riot successfully sued them for 14 mil iirc

Stokholm syndrome and sunk cost fallacy like everyone else here

I had 100% win rate with AM back before dota became a hero brawler.
Used to exclusively play him tryhard but I was 4k back then so it's not really impressive.

Because you're fucking stupid m8

more like suck cock phallusy

What's the best split push hero?
This patch is begging to abused

>Shadow amulet
Thank fuck someone else realizes invisibility is broken as hell, even stationary invisibility

the best team isnt usually one hero
i sometimes never upgrade it.. because.. it has mana costs

>Not wanting to break the jungle LC and rape her manly ass for 500 gold

It's as if you don't like to have fun

>Invisibility is broken
2k detected.

So is Nahaz blacklisted from valve events or what

>tfw nobody buys observers
>tfw I'm the only person that will ever carry dust
It hurts. Please, help me

What did he do?

>be backline support without a blink dagger (e.g. dazzle)
>enemy escapes with invis
>pingpingpingpingpingping

Makes me want to uninstall desu

ONYX BOYS WWA?

>LavishLiquidDrake

He said "James did nothing wrong, Gabe" on-stream

i like to death ward from the tree line
tho it is true that vision trumps invis, you have to be in range of said vision.
this is something to look for in replays/competitive play as vision and positioning are the more decisive things

>tfw Dazzle is my fucking bro
>tfw I've been in that position multiple times
Pick/ban in unranked fucking when? I'm sick of playing against slark and sinking almost 5k gold into dust and observers/sentries

then getting shit on by the 1/7/7 mid for not having any map vision despite my wards watching rune, enemy bounty runes, blocked camps and other hotspots

Being a team player is gonna drive me to suicide one day

Carrying true sight is already a good way to abuse your bracket as people do believe invisibility to be broken so nobody will expect you to actually carry dust.

Also there is a high chance that your teammates will not even look at the map so obs are not always necessary, a rule of thumb is to buy wards the first ten minutes so you know if your team actually uses them, if they aren't using the vision just stop buying them and spend your money somewhere else.

Easiest way to escale is to main mid (as a pos. not a single hero) and abuse the enemy feeders more than the enemy abuse yours, however consider that for this to happen you have to truly be the best player in the game and in general better than your average shitter (protip: if you cannot win 1v1 mid on a regular basis then you are probably in the bracket that you deserve).

A quick (but not easy) way to improve is by refining your mechanical skills, people are obsesed with teamwork and rotations and builds but in lower brackets everyone is stupid so outfarming the enemy usually has more impact.

Remember, 100% winrate is impossible, you are aiming for over 50%

>tfw when Dota will never again be a game where you sit with your team in the picking phase and decide "okay let's do a 4 protect 1 strategy" or "ok lets do a push strategy" or whatever.

it is now JUST a worthless, mindless, brawling game

Well I'm at 48-49% so far and still have less than 1k hours, so maybe there's hope for me yet

his teacher's union went after him and told him to spend more time teaching or they'd boot him out of the Union, essentially meaning if he didn't start teaching again he'd lose his Job

>tfw 2k thinks that ONLY SUPPORTS CAN BUY AND USE DUST/WARDS
why Jesus? I don't deserve this suffering

can i assume that you are not aiming rather, you'll get to 50%+/-, you'll calibrate around 4k and unless you get a stack of ppl as willing to concentrate on a series of games you will never ever get higher rates than say, 5k 50% wr?

Being the type of person who feels the obligation to actually play something with team benefit utility is the worst. You're actually trying to do something with the team as a whole in mind and you'll always be the first to be blamed no matter how garbage everyone else performed.

he got drunk and groped sheever

Mid invoker's thought process:
>MUH EULS MUH BOTTLE MUH GPM MUH 6 SLOTS MUH KDA MUH GARBO SUPPORT MUH POS 1

that's sounds like trying to learn Invoker for me.. no thanks

How do I break this mentality? I don't wanna have a psychotic breakdown. I like that my commends are greater than games playes

He said bad things about Trump in Trump's America.

used the n word

this is me every fucking game
except i dont usually get blamed because im more or less not trash and not the weakest link on my team

this is slow d2s, is it late where u live?

i honestly dont know how to break the mentality... it's just the way ive been playing dota for 10ish years
sometimes when im fed up with shit i just first pick random, then lock a lane depending on what the hero is. of course this doesnt always doesnt stop other selfish tards from picking a mid or hc and trying to hi-jack the lane anyway

You wanna team rape in unranked sometime? I play a terrifying Underlord

>play support venge
>transition to core
>teams think its trash, they still ks me after swap initiation
>whatsacommend.png
guess the mmr
hard mode: guess region

Your target is to win more than 50% of your games, if you do then your MMR will rise, how slow or quick depends on your winrate, but above 50% means it will be raising.

You can no longer get calibrated at 4k.

>unless you get a stack of ppl as willing to concentrate on a series of games you will never ever get higher rates than say, 5k 50% wr?
There are so many things wrong with this statement that I don't even feel like explaining, I will just say that if it was true then Miracle and other getting 9k would be impossible.

You don't have to be rtz, you just have to be better than the average player of your bracket.

no thanks dude
gl though

>people who start out venge as a support and then covertly go treads aquila

I hate you people. This is how I build venge if I am doing well as a roamer.
