DOTA 2 General - /d2g/

So we gotta wait a month for the next tournament. Meanwhile CS has 10 events a month

is it just me or has sumail been really underwhelming recently

damm, chink runes are hard to understand

nth for the one and only B GOD

What's next for OG?

>n0tail out
>SingSing in
>OG win TI
Screencap this

illusion spam means alot of things
octarine core makes your manta cooldown ridicules

>have an escape on the go
>can scout everywhere
>can push creepwaves without having to move outside your side of the map
>have ridicules GPM while still having time to smoke and make plays, not having to trade farm time for gank time
>is really hard for enemy carry to hit a single target in the heat of the moment
>zones out supports
>cancel blinks

>600,000 first prize
No, retard. It's a prize pool which means it's split between placements. First place got 40%, so like 200k. They only managed to raise an extra 100 on top of the 500 initial.
DAC really is kind of chump change compared to majors.

>Europe, Na, and China now united in their hatred of OG
>even in the honeyest of honeypots, honeylans can do nothing but feed
>like literally incapable of playing heroes that actually need to be near opponents
>backstabs incoming
>lelouch working triple time with damage control

Today was a good day for based OGhaters

Objectively true, this game has ruined my life, thankfully I don't play it anymore just watch

happy for burning desu

Even Zai said rtz was right about Kuroky being a toxic manlet at Team Secret.

There's a FREE last place awaiting Liquid at Kiev.

Remember when there was an eizo cup every weekend for kaipi to win it

Those were the days

OG.RTZ

WHATS THE NAME OF THE SONG THAT WAS JUST ON? PLEASE GUYS

if OG win TI will you post feet?

I might cry if burning wins a TI

Majors are chump change compared to TI
This is probably the most prestigious tournament after any major 2bh, because it basicallly is a major but without the name due to Valve being scared of another 2016 Shanghai

What's his end game?

is miracle gonna replace rtz when he moves to og?

apparently matumbaman fell into a bout of depression during DAC and nobody could rouse him

perhaps a rumour to help justify their poor placing, but they went in being favourites to place grand finals. might be some truth to it as matu's play was fairly lackluster, lots of changing drafts and positions due to lack of confidence/desire to play a certain role

killing pendragon to death

At least OG is loveable and has a soul, that's something money will never buy

wtf

Its the first track of
Merzbow - pulse demon

It was actually Miracle tilting because teams banned his invoker. Fly said in an interview he's someone who needs tender treatment. This is why they resorted to GH mid in a pinch.

>no ameriniggers
>no eurokeks
>no mudslimes

Best tournament since 2003.

这次真的还可以 原先根本没想过IG能夺冠
TI见

stop posting my wife, thanks

>No Mason

honeypot lan desu enjoy the win chinks and yurotrash

We will probably see a balance patch before Kiev and then a major patch before ti.
There's only some shitter masters and epicenter which is basically like dac, kiev is the last serious tournament before ti.

>implying he's even still working on the game

>tfw burning won

;))
I found the song anyway

their team lacks experience, and the hardening to choke that it provides. miracle and matu are still just beginning their professional careers, and are both obviously extremely individually skilled. nothing wrong with being an emotional player, but you arent going to reach dendi levels of emotional flatline inside of a high-pressure match overnight

*roots you for 3.5 seconds at level 1*

No shit majors are chump change compared to ti but they are they are the only serious money for the rest of the year.

have n0tail actually carry his team once?

now what? i feel lonely again

>icefrog will not touch burning's LS and boboka's MK

wait, OG went out 0-3? what a letdown...

i dun care about LS
fking nerf that stupid monkey

For some reason I don't think alch is op at all. Just decent. Why are ppl on Reddit so bad at dota2 ?

So OG is just a major specialist?

>All of these newfags favoring HoNtrash over the face of Chinese Dota

Burning is the eastern equivalent of Dendi
He deserved this LAN and hoping he gets a respectable place in Kiev

btw the last song is 奔跑-羽泉

See you next time western trash ~

i think he is but one of the main reasons is he can just walk down supports 16 mins in

I hope the rest of the Chinese old guard comes back.

OG will win Kiev and lost early at TI again. I'm pretty confident about this.

>HoNtrash
>soul

DELET THIS
I-IT WAS A H-HONEYPOT ANYWAY

are u a faggot?

unless there is a massive balance patch, I think their only strat has been figured out and they are very prone to being picked apart now.

Alch isn't OP, he's a gold sponge some teams forgot how to play against.

The problems are lina, jugg, magnus and kang

Think I remember a TB game or something once, but can't be sure tb h

I think Lina is broken because of 99% uptime, that's actually retarded

>99% uptime

not if ur sumail

What would you like to see in the rebalancing patch pre-kiev?

>naga
2 illusions, 25 talent changed to +2 illusions

>alch
increased CD on ult on first two levels, lower the armour reduction on acid spray

>monkey kang
3s cd on his tree jump, 1.4s is far too short for what it offers
perhaps reducing bonus damage on his ult

>TB
reduce %dmg and slow on refraction mirrors at early levels

>lifestealer
either reduce attackspeed on rage, or make the lifesteal of open wounds scale up to 50%/taper off with the slow

>earth spirit
increase remnant recharge to 45s. he is bullshit able to do everything 3 heroes combined, but the fact that he is able to do it no matter how often he roams is bullshit. make them either wait for rocks, or push them around after use

>kotl
increase chakra magic CD by 3s. able to farm quickly while providing excellent utility, increased CD forces him to give up some of his speedy clearing and assisting allies in exchange for how useful he is after aghs

>jugg
increase healing ward to 175 mana

>pugna
increase night vision to 1200

>brew
earth spirit bonus tower damage rescaled to 100/150/200% instead of flat 300%

tfw magnus is the most comfy hero to play because all you need is brown boots, blink dagger, and your r and w keys

That's like saying Loda deserves a win just because he still plays, Burning has honestly been pretty shit for a long time now but still good to see him actually play well.

>kang
In what way?

Reminder tha watching e""""««„„(((sports)))"»”»"»» means you're Exactly Where The Jew Wants You To Be

They should just make radiance not work with illusions.

Meh. Not even an OG fan but it is actually feasible they retained strats for Kiev. Even first place at DAC isn't worth top 3 in Kiev.

>in what way
Are you retarded? Its es with mobility

Based OG fan

Loda already has a TI m8
He can do whatever he wants now

you say that, but they've been playing this exact same strat for a lot longer than just dac.

no, honeypot specialist
majors just happens to be the biggest one around

Undetectable roaming & flying vision, stun, free teamfights with ulti especially once he has basher.

Even if OG lost that last game with him he's still going to need a nerf.

Still lost to iG

wtf, i need to masturbate to ponies now

That is effectively arguing for the removal of all illusion heroes. Because PL, CK, and Spectre don't really benefit from radiance at all (or Spectre as much as Naga or Alc) and they are bottom tier trash.

I love how invoker keeps escaping people's lists. Empower needs to be nerfed on mag, same dmg now for self buff but maybe half dmg increase for other heroes.

wait aren't ponies banned

>same dmg now for self buff but maybe half dmg increase for other heroes

If anything you need to reverse this. Magnus is so stupid because he literally gets his items at the same time every game regardless of how often he is ganked because empower lets him waveclear faster than any carry in the game, and also serves as an extreme damage amp.

He should be a big ult mid, not a GoodSven, GoodVoid, GoodJug, etc.

>CK
>Radiance
Actually that's not terrible, just not common.

There's nothing wrong with turning some of the heroes into trash. It's time for a new, more interesting meta.

t. lol balance team

When will they buff Bloodseeker?

I'm sorry burning, but boboka is the new B GOD

What changes MK needs are a combination of:

1. Turned into ranged hero
2. Can't cast any spell while in a tree except Primal Spring (and tree dance)
3. Reduced vision while in trees (similar to batrider)

Anything else is giving the game another bristleback/razor.

riot games get out

>magnus
empower CD to 15s
skewer manacost to 100
distance starts at 500 and scales to 1200, forces to either max empower for carry, or max skewer to be able to pick off supports instead of nudge them a few feet

>lina
respawn time talent replaced with +50 day vision or some other equally trivial bullshit
ult CD increased 10s all ranks

>furion
treants reduced to 30s cd, manacost reduced to 100/110/120/130

>veno
hero poison attack works on towers at 50% effect and duration

>dragon kang
breathe fire reduced to 100 mana all ranks
during ult his passive is double as effective
25 talent or aghs is perma dragon form

>abaddon
buff/debuff duration reduced by 0.5s
ult CD increased by 10s

I don't know how you would effectively other than stat tweaks and buffing travel damage on rupture without doing another rework on his abilities.

I actually think he's not that bad, people just don't know how to use him in this meta. He's actually really good against monkey Kang and monkey Kang strats with his AOE silence.

make radiance on illusions do less damage and not disable blink

nerf his empoer to irrelevance means you need to nerf axe call to not pierce bkb

the fact that axe gets RP on a 10s cooldown while magnus has it on a 120s cooldown means that magnus needs to have something unique. that something is enabling his carry to have a free battlefury + venge aura

still makes me laugh all the "axe is the worst hero" posting for fucking YEARS before somebody realized that call is actually GoodMagnus, and he has never been bad ever since despite continuous nerfs

>Drow now buffs Kang
No thanks. Really the cd on getting into trees needs raised, moving around in them can stay the same.

raise the CD between jumping through trees to 2s or 3s

HOWEVER,
if he is stunned while in a tree, he should be knocked down. this bullshit of throwing a stun at him while he jumps into a tree, only to watch him quickly hop away, is complete bullshit. he doesnt need to be stunned for any time extra, but if he gets stunned he should drop to the ground
