>eye of the storm prioritizes heroes and always targets static linked enemies first
There, I just fixed Razor.

iscrystal"maiden".txt

How about eye of the storm simply targets EVERYONE in its aoe.

>eye of the storm is now goodweave

I just like Underlord ok?

>SHRINES
>TALENTS
>JUNGLE BOUNTY RUNES
>DELAYED JUNGLE CREEP STACKING

they are never going to delete it, dota is dead, deal with it. you are now playing heros of the league

this will kindda of revert the change to the ult made back in 2006
user, you just made me realise how long it's been since razor was pickable
also, this >>-20XX
+14 Static Link Damage 25 +175 Attack Range
+40 Attack Speed 20 +400 Health
+175 Cast Range 15 +130 Unstable Current Damage

ded game

CM won't stop spilling her milk

>a general devoted to a ded game is ded
really made me think

reminder that d2g has always been 99% trashcans who barely even play the game
reminder that those who complain about 7.00 probably didn't have the game installed for the past 3 years

are you sure?

I got quite a few predictions right and they're marked but I haven't got any points for them

what gives

i dont think they've been counted yet, give it some time

This is one of my smurfs, 7.00 is objectively trash.

>having the game alt tabbed while bragging about the game on Veeky Forums counts for being good at it and playing it frequently
woah you got me there

>what gives

you're new and also a generation z phonepost faggot so you think every single thing in the world happens instantaneously.

...

>log in for a second
>haha proved him wrong!

be honest, how new?

i'm not on phone

and sorry if I thought them marking predictions as correct and rewarding for them might have been done at the same time

what is it like having 1st grade reading comprehension skills?

imagine being this butt blasted after being proved wrong. wew sweetie.

been playing since beta off and on

just been a while since I bought a compendium

post your dotabuffs with mmr and dates when you last played the game
go ahead show actual proof instead of drone hours that can be accumulated for having it alt tabbed

>Earth spirit
Escape, disabler, savior, roaming support
>Ember spirit
Escape, mid, carry, endgame
>Storm spirit
Escape, mid, burst

soooooo....
>Aqua spirit
Escape, nuker, CC ?

Seems like he would be a hard position five type, not many heroes like that have been added in a long long time

>Aqua spirit
>Escape, nuker, CC ?
Literally Morph

>Aqua spirit
none existent reddit tier imaginary hero just like chris chans sonichu

>playing ranked
no thank you, not after post 7.00

He'll 100% have an escape, it's clearly a fundamental aspect of "spirits"

His nuke will be aoe, not targeted

his CC will be aoe, not targeted

PSG here watch me be right: Aqua spirit has the unique ability to appear inside the river on a very low cooldown/no mana/can use while CC'd or some crazy ability like that.

They will add something totally new, unique, parity with WC3 breaking, like monkey king has some totally new things

>3 unraked games in more than a week
woah its just like when i played bgh on fastest in broodwar!

What part of smurf did you not understand?

>having pride about being a veteran good goy for valve's esports digital hats jewing
what happen to deetoojee

>playing 7.0

you can actually see the exact point where i began to despise the game

so you have a more active account but you decided to show the one on which you barely play to prove my point? very kind of you

what if MoM was a toggle like armlet?

what if cm aura wasn't global

has anyone else not get their prediction points?i double checked my point log and haven't gotten them

...

>people complain that CM isn't balanced
>only 60% winrate at the major
>meanwhile Slark the balanced Fishman has 100% winrate

maybe if the negative effects lingered for ~3 seconds after untoggling it

>tfw Starwars meme day

May the 4th be with you.

Where the fuck is the compendium?
I like dressing up my dotafus more than playing this shit game

Would dota die if the top 10 teams on Gosu died in a plane crash?

Hopefully not for a couple weeks so I can actually take a break from this shit game.

>Malcolm posting is back

still not the same, this game is dead.

lewd I can see her pelvic bone

>not dfc
into le trash

Who cares? You should be well above level 60 by now.

shut up kid you fucking idiot, you sure have a fucking smart mouth dont you huh? ill stuff that mouth right up

Friendly remember to take your pills today user.

What's a decent build on morph besides the typical linken sphere into Eblade

plot twist: there is none

...

That's like asking what's a spectre build that isn't radiance/manta/diffusal

I havent played since leshrac/sf patch. What skillset should I have to break 4kmmr on SEA? My peak is at 3.9k

along the lines of this, i'd like a good handful of easy heroes to pub stomp if you're good for ranked

any tips appreciated

>Esports on
>Thread alive and filled with reddit defending, icefrog fellating and 7.00 worshipping
>Esports off
>Thread dead and filled with those who pursue the objective truth and have concluded the demise of this game at the hands of reddit panderers like Bruno, Icefrog's corpse in the back of Valve HQ's dumpster and Erik Johnson which can only be reversed by ending the charade that is 'version 7 era' dota

Really makes you think.

Does r/dota2 not have the ability to make multiple threads about OOGA BOOGA shitposts about 'pro' teams fast or live? Is that why they infest our threads whenever 'live esports' is on?

non esports fag here
talents are good you shitter

this is Slardar, say something nice about him

Recently I got passed the nasty hump of 4k mmr and got a little farther towards 5k. I had calibrated around 3.6 mmr, so I had to grind out that awful 400 but I really stuck to a handful of heroes. I'd try to instalock the Abaddon offlane, and a couple of things would happen.

1.) Either the enemy would pick him first so I'd pick Ancient Apparition to counter him, and just be a Position 5 Support.

2.) Abaddon would get banned so I would go for Phoenix. In my experience, people just below and around 4K mmr panic when their attack speed drops to 0 and the egg is ticking. Sometimes they wise up but you have to communicate and let your team know exactly when you are going in so they can fight around your insane AoE. Unlike the instalock 1st pick Abaddon, you want to pick Phoenix 3rd or 4th so that the enemy doesn't go Troll and Legion.

3.) A teammate would pick an Offlane hero first, so I would pick a Safelane Support and either match my team composition or counter an enemy pick. Usually Venomancer was a nice way to grind through the last couple dozen mmr to 4K.

This style of picking ended up getting me to about 4.5K mmr where I'm currently trying to find a new niche to boost myself up. (Abaddon ranked games included.)

Cool remodel bro.
Good to see you've transitioned well, hope you stay healthy.

how come people still use your older sets to make you look so ugly?

you're a cute guy

How did this general get so dead?

who /picktrollandcarryallgames/ here?

>le my opinion is objective truth xD you can't enjoy anything!!!!

most quit and /d2g/s autism drove the rest away

Who wants to bet that the next patch will be major nerfs to the top picks instead of buffing the underpowered garbage heroes? Fuck nu-icefraud and his league of dotards.

most posters relocated to reddit because their now the official dota community, same thing happened to playdota and nadota

>7.00 is the biggest global powerspike in years
>wahhh why nerfs instead of buffs
we get buffs too, just look at Furion. Quit whining and let the frog do his thing, it'll take months to get all this new shit even a little bit sorted out.

it's just going to be a long list of talent changes

Well, this is the last advance before I start working on extract all the sounds and do the scripts thingy. Maybe I'll move to leddit or I don't fucking know to present this ''''''project''''''. I lost desire of playing competitive dota two years ago and I don't know why you guys only care about dota's boypussies :^)

my.mixtape.moe/efbzzx.webm

End of blog.

.>Maybe I'll move to leddit
Do it and fuck off.

>Maybe I'll move to leddit

All the good posters have already gone to leddit, not sure why you're sticking around with us shitters

B-but I said maybe.

That's because I still love you guys, I think.

There is no such thing as a "maybe". You do it, or you don't. Now fuck off.

Haven't played in a year, should i wait till the 4th to come back to the game?

Just watch esports mang

>hero that's exclusively 5th as a niche pick has a good winrate
>this means the hero is broken
americans are actually retarded

I'm not even sure what the phone thing is going to accomplish aside from piss off whoever stuck around and just kill the game even more.

I had a glance at the recent major and the only strategy seems to be AOE shitfest teamfights

>mention AOE
>my mind immediately jumps to Bulba's Magnus game

Had a pretty good night of doters

Fuck pls no
I just want an NA team to be proud of
Can we talk about hues vacuum storm combo instead?

Put me on your roster
We have a game(s) to lose

that was vp and vgj, or did they also pick the same heroes?

welcome brother

no, you were right, my brain just skipped. Spent too much time memeing about the brazilian team I guess.
>vac into wall into storm into dark pact with ursa and slark there to wail away on them
as much as I love playing rat dota, I also love watching memefight dota. There were some beautiful combos this major.

hey guys lolbabby here
could someone explain how int/agil/str works in such a way that a lolbabby understands?

want 2 quit 4 dota after seeing the tournament

Kind of like TI2 meta where every game had enigma and tide.

:thinking:

str gives health agi gives armor int gives mana

whatever the heroes main stat is gives damage too
