1st for purge is a Bernie cuck

which episode are we on?

Does anyone else play female heroes and then imagine their oneitis is that hero? Im so lonely.

My oneitis used to play CM all of the time so now whenever I have a CM in my game, I can't help but think of her.
Please kill me.

See you in April the 20th, thread creating user!!! ^_^

Why is it so hard for 3k to PUSH. I can win them their lanes, secure freefarm, get them to gank, but when it comes to playing the objective nobody wants to do it.

also help me make this gay picture even gayer

1. Why are these pics always gifs?
2. Why is your taste in heroes so fucking garbage?

The secret to FREE MMR
>make your name "Rubick = Shit" or "Tinker = Shit"
>some retard on the enemy team will pick that shit hero just to "prove you wrong"
>but they are a shit hero, and now its 4v5 at least
>win

For example bait out Rubick, which will necessitate some "late game" safe laner, then pick bristle and collect your free rubick kills all game.
The only problem that I have found is if the idiot denying how shit the hero is is on YOUR team. But it is still FREE MMR

Who?

Ogre Magi

post your dotabuff so I can laugh at you hahahahha

literally any int support

I'll play too

Pro tip buy Medallion on Rhasta and youll never lose.

Nah it was earthshaker. First time I got to play a safelane earthshaker with farm priority and a dedicated support! Instalocked after enemy picked PL.

quick blog but all of my teammates were shit today and i also played like shit today so i lost mmr and it sucked
the shittier my teammates are, atleast the frequency of how often i get toxic or shitty teammates or people who first item linkens on safelane potm, the more often that happens i just tilt and emotionally lose it and then play like ass because why even try anymore when shit like this happens

fuck

>not mana boots
>not refresher
>not blink
I hope you're not implying you're trying to make Wards useful in teamfights.

Sniper

m9 this is a matter of public record, arc for instance has almost a 40% winrate at shitter levels of play
weaver

Nah it was this faggot who went mid against an SF and killed him 3 times before 10 minutes solo.

>making something like this
>in the thousand times you have posted it, you are too stupid to save it as a dithered png instead of a 2mb gif

why is this literal 13 year old trying to force this shit nonstop? probably the most annoying thing ive ever actually seen here

lmao based 2k core cm
I've worked on this maybe two other nights when I couldn't sleep, but I appreciate that it seems like so much more effort.
Transition made for you sempai, hope you feel less grumpy.

reporting these now

Clinkz = Brooklyn
Phantom Lancer = Useless Fuck
QoP = *autistic screeching*
Beastmaster = Betamaster
Bane = UUUU
Razor = "Bawtum is Missing"
Batrider = BadPudge

Worst part was that was a 3.7k average mmr game

haha! me me's!

lokeloke? LoL

wait Wk is countered by sliver edge?

what a wonderful game this is

Eh, not really. If you build him as a rightclicker, maybe. If you just play him as a suicide bomber it's not so important. Mana burn is much more of a counter to him than break.

dubs decide which hero and build I pick in my next ranked game

will provide proof within the next hour and a half depending on how long the game is

radiance pl

doom
phase vanguard shadow blade daedalus

Build sb on Treant

Ok, here we go.
I want to see right clicker tide. Take the damage talent and echo sabre.

>have a problem with your computer
>it's dota two's fault

reminder that literally 500k third worlders are playing just fine right now

>dubs on Veeky Forums

meanwhile
>check purge stream
>he's wearing a Bernie shirt
>he's in a 2 stack with eosin
>they both play support for retarded 2ks
can't wait to see him lose, the cuckery really writes itself

Lothar dagon 5 on tb

>Doom gets a free 180 gold every 40 seconds
Doom is sleeper OP guys. I feel it man.

That would be good on a hero who had the mana to use it, or who was worth anything in a fight, or could push lanes or do literally anything.
He's gonna need at least one more major buff before becoming viable.

Is there a better feeling?

It's nice to come back and see that even if the game is dying, /d2g/ remains the same.

anyone want to play dota with me
us east

are you hype

I don't think he needs one major buff, but rather a bunch of small buffs.
He's an early game hero with 0 base armor that gains 3 armor in 20 levels, who can get a fifth ability but who never has the mana to use it.

+0.5 Int growth
Base armor to 2
+10 movespeed
+4 base damage

His skills are fine. His stats are awful.

...

Please explain

I am so hyped bro
Can't wait to see who shrines up better

idk its been a while since i've played so im a bit rusty

Well, a quick rundown.
26 Str 11 Agi 13 Int
+3.2 0.9 2.1 respectively
-1 base armor
290 movespeed
2.0 BAT

Devour is good
Scorched Earth is good
Infernal Blade is fine honestly. Lvl Death was better if weird but eh.
Doom is pathetically low damage but you can take the Doom DPS talent and it's a 17 second mute/silence.

His problems stem from his incredibly poor stats making him difficult to fight with early on a hero whose skills don't scale.

what mmr did you calibrate at

800ish
lost a lot of games on purpose tho

Show your last game's scoreboard

did you lose intentionally before calibrating or only during the calibration matches?

well desu i got a lot of last hits
idk it was a while ago
i think my friend played on my account sometimes so that might have brought it down too

>losing on purpose
>le 0 mmr xD

you're an inspiration. i'm on the road to 1 mmr but levelling takes an eternity.

>queue 10 minutes for a game
>guy picks meepo and can't play it

lol!!! dota 2 will survive forever!! surely the player drops are just a fluke and nothing to do with the community catching onto the fact that the experience of playing dota is fucking horrible

>50 fucking minutes of my life later
>4/14/4 meepo
>50
>fucking
>minutes

just add fucking surrender button i no longer care about the "integrity of the game" or the "you can always come back in dota", don't giv ea fuck anymore just add surrender

you can abandon at any time :^)

>No one interesting ever streams Dota anymore

Valve better fix this game soon before it's too late.

>Puck gets 511 gold every 60 seconds

There is a surrender queue though

they should do like blizzard, they don't show mmr below 500 so u dickheads don't ruin games on purpose for your epic memes

the maximum calibration is 3.5K, if you're not above that by now you deserve to have your game "ruined".

i just keep making new accounts and drop them whenever I get in LPQ

No normal human person should be forced to sit out half hour or so of their life for a videogame because some retarded decided to be retarded on his team and you have no way for a fair game

>i keep making new accounts
>lol why are my matches filled with new players who are more likely to abandon or be retarded? surely the system is broken

thats nonsense and you are sick in the head

>affiliating your steam username with the Shitskin Containment Software that is Dota Two
gross

Is DotA dying?

Answer as quickly as possible, please.

>when you win a game using your best secret strat and it leaves you only 4 mmr from hitting 1,500

Thanks valve.

For some reason /a/utists think frog posting is bannable

There's one autistic mod defending their hugbox on /a/ that bans frogs but nobody cares on any board with actual post rates (/a/ is dying harder than DotA)

Forgot to add my pic

no
in order to die you need to be alive at any point, dota was always dead

In all seriousness though DotA is dying, all the players leaving are NA/EU, all the remaining are thirdies.

pepe is the new trollface but i post him anyway

>not posting frogs and faces at the same time

get on my level

>In all seriousness though DotA is dying
good
death to dota

>complain about smurfs and gameruiners
>defend a pro-player and attempt to justify his moonshard after treads build when he smurfs
>he even said himself that he was "just having fun"
Just waiting for the next pro player to do something like fire a baby from a T-shirt cannon and watch leddit defend him.

>not being in the state of posting Saint John Paul the ][

Pole detected.

>he's unaffiliated with the Commonwealth of Poland, the Messiah of Nations
>he needs to live his life on easymode
i bet you actually think separation of Church und State is a good thing you atheistic brony

TF2>Dota 2

>in a good mood
>go to have some fun playing video games
>start dota
>"Im going to play all day I am so excited!"
>lose first game
>lose all motivation to play
>mood ruined
>close dota
how do i counter this

(you)

It's alright I guess.

You stop playing dota, like I did :^)

good postingmodality

...

Bottom 5 least picked heroes in 5k+ games:
Chen (1.18%)
Death Prophet (1.21%)
Dragon Knight (1.33%)
Razor (1.34%)
Phantom Lancer (1.34%)

Chen is actually globally the least played hero in the game.
