are we done yet? Can I start Doters discussion yet

finally

Let's continue talking about my boy Carl, the Invoker

small dump because autism lost

>He doesn't buy atos on underlord
>He needs a quelling blade to out cs a ranged hero
>He has more than one point in passive before level 3 and doesn't max rain first

>

>atos on underlord
why?

Daily reminder urn is a fantastic CK item even if you aren't support.
Actually I'd say urn is one of the most underrated items in the game.

What else would you buy on Underlord really?

...

so Pit can proc twice giving you ample time to follow up with a buddy dropping a fat nuke

do you not look at numbers?

You're the reason these threads are deleted

>Latest patch: store.steampowered.com/news/28266/
>* Improved server region auto detection
>Didn't fix server preferences being saved, just "improved" it instead
Shit they really mean to leave it like that, huh?
Why the fuck?

...

Health, Mana, long ranged linkens popper, oh and it's primary use of catching someone in pit, atos them after duration, and pit will reapply leading to a full duration rain.

That and atos absolutely fucking shits on the majority of the cancer picks this patch. It's utility is fucking amazing and the CD is surprisingly short.

Having Dota discussions? I was not avatarfaggin, fyi

>wrapping up nyahoo posters with your generic anime avatarfags
kisama dotard

...

but the same is achieved by the not 20 int+ wasted stat 3k item, so is it really core?
actually, his passive is one of his better skills and that where the nerf hits the hardest, but can always go for more than 1 point even at l3

huh, neat
if i ever play underlord ill go atos then

>Shadow Shaman got his base damage buffed like fuck
Can we expect seeing him return to the meta? Honestly I don't even know why he doesn't get picked more often.
Literally A+ lockdown and huge pushing potential with wards.

people have been picking him a lot in 5k and 6k games from what i've seen in streams. pros still rate him as shit tho.

Snakes are a literal gold farm for most heroes. Pushing with them is meaningless because they explode the picosecond a creepwave appears now since their splash was removed.

>plants wards to push down enemy tower
>tower is now unkillable
nice game doturds

Probably, especially split push is good now too

What item are you talking about that allows you to double apply pit in someone? Also have you seen the range on atos now? That shits ridiculous.

It's a sleeper OP atm. Nobody expects it because it was literally garbage up until 7.XX. Also good on Skywrath so you can drop a sick ult and literally melt their three heart centaur in under ten seconds

alright

lets do some simple maths here

10 int
10 int +
250 hp +
________

30 int
350 hp

and yet people still dont pick up atos on every fucking int hero in the game
I dont get it
its so fucking good for offlane WR and "supports" when you play them as a roaming 4 like wd or rasta

...

>one month wait until we get to see our boy jimmy win the kiev major
feels bad man

ARMOR IS FROM HEROES ONLY YOU RETARDED CUNT

Learn to fucking read.

i do on sniper, since the int gives aditional damage for my orb

...

...

It's a great fucking item and I don't know why more people don't buy it. It's so god damn beneficial to most heroes and synergizes crazily with alot of ultimates.

Jakiros that don't buy this thing are retarded.

>twitch scum

spotted the underage consider yourself distinguished

...

What.
I tried it on sniper once for sticking people in shrapnel.

...

i meant pure damage superior int sniper, on which atos is op.

Is Underlord better utilized as a split pusher (Ult+BoT) ora team fighter (fifteen auras and one heck of a right click)

splitpusher
buy maelstrom bots blink dagger on underlord and split push harder than anti mage

...

How about Silver Edge?

I've only recently gotten on the pitlord fun train so only been team fighter/fight control, will have to give the split pusher a try.

...

>+6 base damage on Big Guy
is icefrog into big guys? Bane is a fucking support not a carry

...

>double kill with solo offlane underpants Lord because people think they can trade rightclicks with me

enough

>What is lane harrassment

is reducing your damage and making you sleep every now and then not enough?

no enuff

>LION:
>Level 10 Talent increased from +45 Damage to +60
lion... carry....?

Apparently it isn't

>maelstrom
why tho? He already has lane clearance with firestorm

max aura, then firestorm then pit, ult at 6 12 and 18 as per usual. Depending on who you're laning against, start with aura if you want the early damage boost, firestorm if you want to scare the other dude away from your creeps. Still playing around with items, but you'll want to end up with BoT, Abyssal Blade or Silver Edge depending on how fast your opponents react and whether or not they're smart enough to smoke gank. AC, and Echo sabre to take advantage of his atrophy aura damage boost Underlord has shit attack speed.


Good luck

What if we changed one of Lion's abailities and gave him an actual Lion and also gave him a +200 attack range talent?

what happened to the memes /d2g/?
where did they go after 7.0?

>On a 5 game loss streak
>all due to HC or mid or both being awful

Stop CALLING ROLES

IF YOU CANT PLAY THEM

but if i dont play those how will i ever get good?

Play carry abbadon offlane, literally free wins and gives 0 shits what your team does.

>5 game loss streak
>next game is a party queue with a 5k and 6k while i am a lowly 4k

Heh, good luck with your loli user, hope she's still worth it

honestly how do people even gain mmr in this game

like seriously, how do people combat the retardedness of other human beans and actually raise their mmr

people in this bracket just refuse to fucking learn 4k truly is the new fucking hell. I wish i was 2k then I could just win games without having to put in effort, or got matched with 6k+ so I could actually learn and improve

fuck this cesspool bracket

play unranked if you want to "win"
stop thinking about winning if you want to get good and just focus on your own game to game mistakes

Black people make anything more awesome

mmr is my metric of "improvement"

if I go up X mmr over Y time, then I must be doing SOMETHING right, be it playing the meta, playing better or just getting lucky with no stacks

going 15-0-20 as an offlane puck against 2 account buyers, then getting stomped ending 0-14-5 against an aggro trilane as a solo ogre cause your lane partner decided he was gonna jungle, doesnt really show me i've improved or not

this bracket is just pure memeaids

So I just came back to Dota 2 recently and noticed the loot system was changed. Can you not get drops anymore after games?

gotta play like 15hrs per drop, and the drops are typically 1 item piece, instead of a set now

>>>>>>>>atos garbage before 7.00

bro i will acknowledge the root buff but even pre 7.00 that long ranged 60% slow was massive on certain heroes, come on now

then why was it forgotten. The entire time I played in 6.88 I never saw anyone get an Atos.

See how trashed they got by EG?

Eziest last place of their life.

Your mom is the Eziest last place of my life

>thinking they'd give up their major strats to a joke show match
sasuga dotard

>look at trending Dota guides on Dotabuff
>7k players that get midases on supports at 25-30 minutes

Explain this to me

Their strat was literally
>win with Meepo

I wonder what they could do to counter that?

Do you seriously believe they have a chance against top tier teams?

I'm still a firm believer in midas/sacrifice spam lich soft pos 3 into late game hard carry

stop posting your retarded anime shit and maybe people would care

It's time to play
GUESS
THAT DOTAMON

underlord

reminder that if you play the meta and objective-game you can win and beat the coin-flip nature of mmr

bloodseeker

Yes!
On a related note, fuck having NP and Tinker on the enemy team at the same time.

venomancer

>the meta
>luna

okay grandpa, I see trickle down tactics made it to 3.8k

is leshrac actually good against weaver? perhaps if you build veil and shivas?

He can blow Weaver up before Weaver can kill Leshrac so long as they have equal farm. His stun and radius damage melt low hp heroes in a couple seconds, and Weaver has real bad stats. He relies on avoiding getting stunned and ulting off burst damage. Lesh can kill him if he lands the stun.

Timbersaw

>This w33ha stream
What MMR average is this? It's playing like one of my 2k pubs.

Volvo increased the Judaism massively, bout a drop a week now.

>timbersaw
>skadi
Wat

>5k jugg
>6k Sniper
>they are in party
>Both literally least farm on the team other than the lich support
>45 minute game
>"I had a hard lane (s) ofc you have more farm than me retard"

REMOVE PARTY QUEUE

>ranked game
>your teammate has a twitch link his nick
>its live

Its 2017, Jesus Christ. Worse, he got 4 viewers instantly once the game started, the support was getting dewarded, and jungle was invaded at every opportunity.

usually guess-the-hero posts are dumb memes where some guy buys ridiculous items on an unlikely hero during a very one-sided stomp.

Actually posting reasonable items for the hero is pretty unexpected since usually everybody just memes

why does Juggernaut look exactly like PA?

literally bad ember

ogre magi

>Add quasi region locking
>Remove it
>Add true solo queue
>Remove it
It's like they just want to rub it in.
>We could do these things, but fuck you! Lol!
