Dota 2 General - /d2g/

>release nazish patch on Hitler's birthday
What did they mean by this?
Why must I wear an identifying number? What's next, Jews gotta wear stars of David?

go back then

being a third world shit stain must be fucking trash desu

Dota 2 is now malware, Stallman was right again

>anyone still believes at this point that /d2g/ is not just badReddit
Literally all the advantages that other generals have over their reddit counterparts we lack. This is the worst general on the board. At least /sc2/ posts some cuties sometimes.

dumb gook poster

>He thinks thirdies don't have cell phones
There's fucking African bush tribes that have cell phones you nutter. They fucking give homeless people in America free cellphones. They take all the old cellphones from 1st world countries and sell them off to other countries until it trickles down so far that Mozambique from Zimbabwe has that sweet razor flip phone from 2004.
Face it can, you are literally more retarded than a African jungle baby if you don't have a cellphone in this day and age.

Fucking rapefugees had iPhones.

*suddenly teammate picks this hero*
*teleports behind you*
*stabs you right in the MMR*

Nothing Personnel, Kid.

not a dota 2 player, but why did anyone play this without solo q? seems like a big impediment, forcing people to party up.

because Valve are retards who can't figure out a decent algorithm for mm people without long queue times

you could queue alone, but now there's a special queue where everyone is queueing alone

some sensible people got hurt when paired with parties

>not a dota 2 player
Not anymore, you're not
reported to my dad who works at valve, enjoy CIS regionlock

why is valve forcing people to give their phone number in order to play ranked?

why is people asking stupid questions?

>mfw people say smurfs are dead

>Starting today, if a player’s Solo MMR is higher than their Party MMR, queuing in a party will result in the matchmaker assigning a higher MMR to that player. Effectively, these players will search for a match as if their MMR were halfway between the Solo and Party MMR values.
What about if your party is higher than your solo mmr? Will I get easier games if I queue with my 4k solo 5k party friend?

smurfs, and hackers. they did the same thing with csgo

i'll answer any question from fellow support cucks about how to climb out of the trench
having started at 2k with dota as my first moba i might have insight you won't get from watching high mmr players as the shit you see there doesn't apply to you

>post yfw no more peruvian stacks in your games

Tiny is actually quite large.

>That 400 MMR spike
Someone dickrode a single hero.

>I'm a NEET and even I have a smartphone.
How the fuck do you not have a phone number in 2017?
My situation: I have a longterm illness which leaves me houseridden for the foreseeable future. I have a degree, I was working, but now I don't and I can't go out anymore because it causes me a lot of physical discomfort/pain and heightens my anxiety. My social life is dead so I don't need a simcard/phone to call anyone.

what heroes did you pick 4k+?

uhhhh by pickin good heroes?

matchmaking takes a shitload of time because the system filters by behavior score and MMR, not because valve is incompetent.

I used to be a complete piece of shit back in 2012/2013 and my behavior score got irreaversably shitfucked back to the stone age. My ranked queue times up to recently were like 5+ minutes upwards as a 3k MMR shitlord for the past few years.

Recently, Valve completely wiped behavior score on everyone due to a crashing bug causing irreversible damage to people's behavior scores when they abandoned games due to it being the game's fault. I get ranked AP queues that pop in 15-30 seconds @ 3300 ranked MMR, steadily climbing up winning a few every day with Lone Druid.

>practically doesn't affect SEA at all

Someone please save this place.

it filters out the homeless people in comp shop at least

believe it was ogre or silencer, had 82.4% winrate with silencer at ~25 games played with him i think
i've played a lot of jakiro in the last 3 days since he offers pushing power, debuffs, good (counter) initiation and hg defense/offense
if theres a lot of fighting early i don't put many points into liquid fire but instead dual breath and/or ice path if your team has close to no cc
usually get early arcanes too
warlock good for many of the same reasons plus great lane sustain for your teammates
other go to-heroes are venge, dazzle and dazzle
haven't had much luck on other heroes this patch as pushing hg is just a joke a lot of the time

>playing the same hero twice in a row or more
you disgust me

Nothing can save that cesspool. 100% clusterfuck 24/7.

How do I get good at heroes with macro abilities? (Lycan, LD, Meepo, etc)

What keys do I use?

tab.

>hurr how can i GIT GUD
>nuh uh i dont want to play that hero, i want le epick redditor hero. RUBICK

stay in 2k baddie lmao

sea is the most tryhard region
prove me wrong

thanks. i can never make warlock work out (some shitter with slark or something similar chases me in teamfights and i can't get a good angle on my spells), but i'll try the other heroes

as much as i want to improve, playing the same hero over and over is way too boring

I mean you're not. It's still a complete shithole. But still better than USE.

whatever floats ur boat buddy

id rather reach that sweet 5k then enjoy the quality of mmr than grinding fun but bad heroes for 2 years

use is full of whiny faggots

real talk bro

sometimes fun heroes are also good
>i only play roaming supports

Aside from the ded servers, literally everything else is better than USE

desu

Can I change the phone number tied to my account later or how does this work?

>because of reddit crying, we now need to link our phone number to dota

Are they the reason dota is dying?

i know what you mean but thats not a warlock specific issue
thing is you don't wanna overextend or let him get a free pickoff, so just play around your team and stay in the back but not so far back so that he can go on you and get away with it without your team noticing and being able to do anything about it
sometimes you will die anyway so you just gotta get your spells off in the best way possible, and if he goes on you just try to make him waste his time (kite around trees, glimmer cape)

Yes

>the fucking state of non-white thirdies rn

>you now literally need to give Valve your phone number just to play ranked

It's Korean grindfest MMO tier.

Dota is dead.

>People faling for the solo que meme
Valve made this mode for (You) guys to realize you suck and no it's not because of parties

i will buy a 1dollar SIM card for this, and only use it online

i dont even have to put it in my phone in order to play on my smurf

it doesnt really solve the smurfing problem, so i guess they did this because botting became insane

>reddit, known for people actually playing the game, is happier than ever
>d2g, known for people not playing the game, is triggered as hell

Loving it.

don't have a phone

Might I inquire if you happen to possibly perhaps be of the Latino-persuasion ?

If those 10% don't have a phone they most likely didn't have money for cosmetics either. Nothing of value was lost.

people are memeing, getting matched with parties while solo queing didnt happen THAT often

...

>riki vs gondar
man I wish there was a dota anime featuring that rivalry

> Calibrate 3.8k
> Removed solo queue
> Drop down to 1.7k at lowest
> Getting mad, on tilt, retards everywhere
> Finally get back to 2.8k
> Solo queue comes back
> Won 7 matches so far in a row

Maybe it wasn't my fault?

>valves face when they realized they just killed 75% of it's playerbase

Gondar laned top with Dazzle as support on dire
Riki laned off-lane on radiant with Axe

are you playing the Radiance - Solarcrest infinite miss chance build?

How do they do it? How does EVERY SINGE DECISION end up being so bad?

F1 for your hero, F2 for all summoned units
F3 for ALL units(so including hero)
and then 1-5 for every single summoned unit

>enemy team has guy with 16 ranked games, 50% winrate in ranked
>138 unranked games, 43% winrate
>still has 4,9k solo mmr with those dogshit stats
>first games on dubai server boosting with smurfs

this calibration is actually fucking dogshit terrible

>average queue times are already growing exponentially
[visible concern]

I have f1, f3 and f4 for that. then f2 for courier

probably the default

...

may I ask what drives you to play a single hero 20 times in 2 days? and why take a break day in the middle?

someone finally looked up your dotabuff and banned brood in that disruptor game?

Even with the new update, /d2g/ is still dead.

>late night/early morning for literally everyone except china
>"why are we dead"

free wins

you are dead inside, faggot

I like to have the buttons next to each other, so I moved the courier to F4. Preference, I guess

Might I inquire if you happen to possibly perhaps be of the Latino-persuasion ?

>using the F keys for anything ingame

Might I inquire if you happen to possibly perhaps be of the Latino-persuasion?

>valve introduces several anti-abuse changes to matchmaking
>calibration maximum wasn't put back to 4.5k

tick tock dotards

i think those are oldfags from doturd 1 didnt adapt

what am i supposed to see there, my lol friend?

dota has already lost 120k players and it's still losing more

Dota

>Solo Q somehow makes the game better.
Sorry but it doesn't. People will still feed, People will still abandon, People will still be cancer.

Uh, everyone that plays the game is on reddit. Why would an update change what happens on d2g?

On a 6 game winstreak since solo queue.

>literally purging peruvians, russians, and seamonkeys with the phone authentication

How is this bad?

>being less than 7k mmr

Might I inquire if you happen to possibly perhaps be of the Latino-persuasion?

post yfw no more autistic delusional edgy amerilard stacks that think they're good

The shittiness of a game is directly correlated to the amount of mouthbreathers in it who confuse "you're/your", "there/their" and all the basic grade 6 grammar.
