last bread:

first for best support

>not the best midlaner
b8

why not both?

Anyone want me to do a giveaway sometime soon? Or should I wait for the new memependium and international immortals to be out?

why is dawn of war 3 shit

>Soloqueue finally here

guild wars?

Nth for best carry

Sounds good. It honestly makes me feel I'm having more fun now that I'm actually learning to play new heroes and new mechanics, even if it is a different game.

I got called an account buyer for the first time this game...feels bad.

How about not playing heroes you have no skill with in ranked cunt.

>make new thread
>thread dies

probably better to wait for international compendium

Jakiro is so fucking good now with the talents

>+25% Exp
Level faster than carries

>+35 Dual Breath damage
600 dmg slow/nuke/reks their attack speed at level 15

>+150 gold min
Yay Midas

>+1,25 sec stun
Best stun in game almost 4 sec duration, 9 sec cooldown

>not taking spell amplification for the easy early game kills and cast range for the 10,000 range eul's

>Team pick tinker
>we lose


why do people even pick that hero?

Ice path is garbage dude

Later on u can Icepath from so far away they don't even know you're there or that you're casting.

>Ice path is garbage dude
>these are the people you queue with in DotA of the Ancients Too

with Aether Lens?

the only thing that bother me about ice path is has 50 damage and the stun duration isn't that great too .

>tfw you bodyblock a teammate to death after they spent all game fucking you over

What drugs are you on
>50 damage
It's a massive AOE stun, who gives a shit
>stun duration isn't that great
compared to what? Morphling?
Not to mention
>babby-tier euls combo
>Instant anti-puck
>anti-manta
>ridiculous range
>can hit multiple heroes in a fight
>low mana cost and cd
It's one of the best stuns in the game.

Yeah that's why I like the +25% exp talent, getting to 25 is easy, and with the Ice Path talent 4 seconds is enough for any carry to kill someone.

220+125 cast range with aethers and talent.

>tfw Heroes of the Storm is now actually more Free To Play than Dota 2 because it doesn't require you to have a mobile phone.

Never in a million years did I think this would happen.

>anti-manta

Hold on ,it can do that?

this enigma is next level

no he wasnt afk

DON'T EVER GIVE UP, GUYS.

wrong image

top tier enigma build

So I didn't played D2 for a while. How much it changed thanks to the new matchmaking?

its like a new game entirely

Hearthstone

>Parties now only get stuck with shitties that can't find the soloqueue option
>They finally will feel what they've been influcting on solos for years

get rekt fag

>using a Blizzard image
You need to go back

Guys I'm almost top 50

I actually played ranked for the seconds time after 7.00 it was decent. I played 3 Games - The first I forgot to turn on the strict solo mode and I got paired up with retards and also Valve decided that I should lose 27 points of the match making because calculation is hard.
Then I enabled it and it was great. I recommend , for now.

I totally agree, I play 80% of my games in a party and it's totally different from tryharding alone.

>Also, fuck the turks.

>support radiant safelane
>bird camp spawns
>wave is pushed kinda hard
>try to pull
>pull just a little too late
>still get the ranged creep by letting a bird attack me
>okay well I'll get it next time since the wave is still pushing
>try to pull again
>accidentally only get the ranged creep again
>now the wave isn't pushing much anymore
>try it again
>only get ranged creep again
>now wave is slightly pushing towards our tower, totally denied 3 ranged creeps and basically 1 and a half waves because the offlaner was too busy with the melee creeps to contest my "pull"
>carry compliments me on my really great pull and asks me how I did it
>"Uh, it only works on melee camps"

The fuck did I do? Is this is a legitimate technique?

I'm not one to fall into loud autists but I enjoy siractionslacks, his retorts and shinnanigans never fail to make me laugh.

>queue up for 5.3k game
>pick terrorblade
>woops, our composition somehow ends up being two junglers and I'm left to solo lane
>i'm left to go up against a CM, mirana, sand king offlane with the permanent stunlock that is frostbite > burrowstrike > sacred arrow
>nobody buys a courier or its upgrade so I'm left to do so
>warding duties are also relegated to me
>both junglers feed
>we lose within 20 minutes
THE TRENCH
NEVER
ENDS

>I don't like loud autists but I like this loud autist
okay

So do I have to play ranked if I want to enjoy this again?
Low trench is actually comfy though. It's what I do when I just want to mindlessly play click adventure or try meme builds. Rip alt accounts.

has solo queue actually taken effect yet? I keep getting matched up with party queue people even though I have it strict solo queue marked in settings.

thats just if you want to play ranked you fuck, its twenty fucking 17 why dont you have a phone? Don't you have a job?

It's a ____

feature?

Do you also happen to like show like Rick and Morty?

beta fucking faggot. im not calling you a beta but you will take it as that anyways betamale

Maybe you should not pick a carry if your team composition is not fit for it?
And if you instantly picked him you're just as much at fault.

what is up dotards?

tell me, what?

>not understanding that not everyone wants to give out their phone number like candy on halloween

post dotabuff my dude

OK YOU MOTHERFUCKING SHITSKIN FAGOTS DID THE MATCHMAKING UPDATE EVEN CHANGE ANY FUCKING THING? SHOULD I START PLAYING AGAIN?

i fourth picked him so as to not lose a lot of gold but it was after doing so that the guy who had failed to mark any lane beforehand decided to go jungle (when we already had a jungler)

b-but I'm a girl! :(

"There will be a two-week grace period from today during which players have time to register a number, but starting on May 4th, accounts without a registered number will no longer be eligible for Ranked play. "

play the game

u first

oh so it's literally nothing, third wordlers have phones anyways and prepaid cards literally cost like 5 bucks.

It will literally change nothing, Valve just trying to save the dying game I guess.

and just months ago they said
>game is not dead look at the chart aaa
fucking /d2g/tards lmao

Plus they still can't admit to themselves that everytime they implement a suggestion from Reddit, the player numbers drop. It's like a reverse sunk-cost fallacy.

Only crossposters from Reddit said that

xd

takes one to know one

THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING DEAD HOLY SHIT VALVE IS ONLY TRYING TO GRAB AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS DEAD PIECE OF SHIT BY RELEASING STUPID COLOURSCHEME BREAKING PIECE OF SHIT COSMETICS THAT MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT ON THE STREAM HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING TRASH WHY THE FUCK DID ICEFRAUD DECIDE TO FUCK UP THE GAME WITH HIS SHIT BALANCE? OH WAIT BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT NIGGER CALLED ICEFROG GOT FIRED FOR SOME FUCKING REASON AND VALVE JUST TRIES TO SOMEHOW KEEP THE GAME AFLOAT.

I have no sympathy for Valve. They're not only incredibly stupid, but greedy. It's amazing. I'd rather they just choked it immediately like EA did with Dawngate than the fucking mess they turned it into. Then I could spend time reminiscing about how much fun I had and how hot Lina was instead of how much I fucking hate the game.
Marah x Lina porn when

THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING ALIVE HOLY SHIT VALVE IS ONLY TRYING TO PLEASE AS MUCH PLAYERS AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS ALIVE PIECE OF GREATNESS BY RELEASING NICE COLOURSCHEMES THAT IMPROVE AWESOME COSMETICS THAT MAKES ME WANT TO EJACULATE ON THE STREAM HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING GOOD WHY THE FUCK DID ICEFRIEND DECIDE TO FIX UP THE GAME WITH HIS PRECISE BALANCE? OH WAIT BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT WHITE MAN CALLED ICEFROG GOT PROMOTED FOR SOME GOOD REASON AND VALVE JUST TRIES TO SOMEHOW KEEP THE GAME FROM SINKING.

YOU ARE LIKE A HEMORRHOID WITH A 2CM RADIUS IN THE DEPTHS OF PAJEET'S ASSHOLE THAT STARTS BLEEDING EVERYTIME PAJEET SHITS ON THE STREET, SO BECAUSE OF YOU EVERYTIME PAJEET SHITS ON THE STREET HE MUST BLEED THE ENTIRE STREET FULL AS WELL.

YOU COCKGOBLING, SHITEATING, HERPES INVESTED PISSHEAD ARE WHAT DESTROYED THIS GAME. EVERY WHITE PERSON WITH EVEN JUST AN OUNCE OF BRAINS LEFT THIS GAME A YEAR AGO AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT THE GAME IS ALIVE? THIS GAME IS ONLY PLAYED BY SHITSKINS THAT LIVE IN PERU AND SEA, IT'S DEAD IN EVERY OTHER REGION. THE GAME HAS BEEN REDUCED TO FILTH, TO A PIECE OF SHIT THAT SMELLS UP THE WHOLE FUCKING ROOM. WOULD YOU LISTEN TO SHITSKIN MUSIC? WOULD YOU WATCH SHITSKIN MOVIES? THEN WHY THE FUCK DO YOU PLAY A SHITSKIN GAME, UNLESS YOU ARE A FUCKING SHITSKIN YOURSELF BUT THERE'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT THIS IS THE CASE SINCE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT STILL PLAY THIS PIECE OF SHIT GAME ARE SHITSKINS THAT HIDE FROM BOARDS WITH FLAGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DISGUSTING FLAGS THAT THEY SHOULD AND ARE ASHAMED OF.

THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING GAY HOLY SHIT VALVE IS ONLY TRYING TO PLEASE AS MANY COCKS AS POSSIBLE FROM THIS TACTFULLY DISGUISED GAY BAR BY RELEASING RAGING RAINBOWS THAT IMPROVE GAY COCK SUCKING THAT MAKES ME WANT TO EJACULATE ON THE PENIS HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING GAY WHY THE FUCK DID FREDDY MERCURY DECIDE TO FUCK AND BE GAY WITH HIS PRECISE BENIS? OH WAIT BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT STRAIGHT CALLED OP GOT ASS FUCKED FOR SOME GOOD REASON AND VALVE JUST TRIES TO SOMEHOW KEEP THE GAME FROM GETTING AIDS.

ebin my friends
simply ebin

ok

How to fix CK

Level 10 +8 INT talent replaced with +4 mana regen

Level 20 +120 gpm talent switched with level 15 +20 MS talent

This hero's farming is so fucking horrible the gpm being bumped down to 15 is his only hope.

There's no way these are real suggestions right?

I'm very lonely dotards

I don't have any friends anymore, and i

you didnt even say candle ja

>3 hour old thread
>not even 100 posts

What happened /d2g/? Did 7.0 truly kill dota?

Freakazoid was an overrated piece of shit cartoon that rode off the success of Animaniacs.

/ourboy/ is strim

Stream your little sissy asshole

imposter

how do you play support alch?

Finally broke through the 3k MMR mark after a year or so climbing from calibration at 1.7k MMR

What is this I hear about 3k-4k MMR games being shittier than high 2k MMR?

Step 1) steal all the farm
Step 2) give everyone aghs
Step 3) lose because you played the most farm-dependent hero in the game in a farmless role

everyone thinks they're a pro so they buy an account and proceed to act like rtz and afk or spam all chat thinking they're god

gg end fast

yes exactly

Approaching 3k MMR, I actually feel glad when the autistic Slark/LC picker is on the other side instead of on my team

Last game facing a Slark on the enemy team while I was Silencer, I would buy all these sentry wards and just watch for him trying to focus me(Doesnt he have anything better to do?) but since I can see him approach, I can just force staff away and use my spells while he gets murdered by my team

>BTS is casting CS:GO

>SHITSKINS THAT HIDE FROM BOARDS WITH FLAGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DISGUSTING FLAGS THAT THEY SHOULD AND ARE ASHAMED OF.
this but unironically

dang bsj is gonna be thicc soon if he keeps doing whatever he's doing

Why is she so downcast?

what's up coposters

no dota bf

everyone wanted solo matchmaking, but not everyone wanted mobile phone verification. but valve forced it up our assholes anyway. what gives? why didn't they talk to their "beloved" community first?

>approaching 3k mmr

Yeah i'm in a 4.5k mmr game and my silencer can't do that can you buy an account please

>but not everyone wanted mobile phone verification

Seriously who gives a shit about this except Juan, Ivan, or Chang?

The only reason I dont buy an account is because I dont feel like spending really, besides, I get this idea that any price they charge me is going to be a rip off

THIRDIES: BTFO

i do, along with the myriad of other people who don't have phones for whatever reasons or are concerned about their privacy.

JIC dont give a shit about their privacy or much else, they'll probably go without food jsut so they can afford a cellphone if they don't already have one. this shit won't stop third world faggots ruining the game, and it won't stop smurfs either. there will be a month long period after this period is over where there are little to no smurfs, then you'll start seeing them again. people spend $15 for copies of CSGO on alternate accounts, why wouldn't they spend just about the same amount smurfing on dota 2 with a shitty phone?
