"Pay $10 to play our untested Warcraft 3 map, Dotards."
-Valve

how bad is it?

because i want to make my teammates suffer

nth for EG is the best team in the world

sadly more accurate

remember when valve said they were gonna make custom games available and it turned out they were all shit because the old wc3 map editor that was an afterthought by blizzard from 10 years ago was way better and easier than what valve could put out given years and years of time?

back to

Reminder that the ghost section can be instantly 3-starred by dropping and picking the orb from the ogre section.

Thoughts on this waifu?
How can girls be so good at dota?

>Some russian goes AFK while I'm dead and forces me to abandon
>Low priority
GREAT MODE

based cuckbro

>Walking Puzzle in a game with pathing this shit

Lmao Fuck off Valve

only girls (male) can be good at Dota

you've been warned

>EG literally becomes a honeypot team, only capable of winning the classic pre-ti honoext of honeypot lans
>all of a sudden the honeypot meme dies

Hmmm really makes you think

>EG

do you mean OG?

if EG wins them they're not honeypots, this was always part of the meme

>People who don't dodge Hellbear slams
Literal retards.

>EG vs Lfy in the finals

Why do teams even bother?

>walk up cliff at start
>three instant hellbear smashs

So does anyone actually want to try to beat siltbreaker? I'm tired of playing with people who abandon.

>want to get the goypass for international ranked and the campaign shit
>don't want to give valve any more money
god damni t

>reddit loves it
>thus /d2g/ has to be contrarian and hate it

slut thread?

>eg can't even make a major final
>"B-B-BUT MUH PINOY POCKET CHANGE LAN :^(((("

>Take massive damage from first hellbears
>Continues to let them hit him for the rest of the game
Literal. Retards.

ok

The amount of griefing potential in this game mode is off the charts
>can block people into corners and afk if they have no phase boots
>can kill peruvian shitheads with arrow traps
>can just afk if they're dead with no bb

>clunky, camera-locked diablo clone with 3 peruvians on your team
What's to like about it?

Reddit hasn't given any opinion on it, honestly. Wait till all the shit threads go away and complains rise up.

>first zone
>rest of the game
How bad.

It's literally Diablo except without all the things that make Diablo good and enjoyable.
>ogre boss is unironically artificial difficulty

The Ogres themselves are annoying enough to fight just because lmao stuns, this guy is just an Ogre with more health that attacks faster. That's it.

It's fucking awful design, I've played custom games WAY better than this.

>childish gambino
trash

Ephey is on my list of 10 reasons why I want to kill myself

>tfw no dota 2 qt

Randoms are literally THAT bad.

I grouped up with guys complaining about it and we got all the way to the spiders, and one of our dudes even went AFK and died twice before the ogres were done.

When you only get to play for 5 more minutes, that's the rest of the game.

is she related to feero or nah?

It feels nothing like diablo actually.

Warchasers is the only game of this kind tat ever got any traction on the Dota 2 custom game scene, and it's also a straight up rehash of a WC3 game.

It is better than Siltbreaker.

Also this is far from diablo.

she looks like that both girl from TI

So which characters are best for this? I know at this point not to pick Witch Doctor or Abaddon.

Daily Reminder

i need to pick now WD or Jakiro?

>Start winning most of my games
>Almost never type in chat
>Getting better at dota
>Suddenly go from 0 reports to 6 reports
??

I seriously don't understand the locked camera if it doesn't even add to the feel.

I ruined the ogre boss fight by not managing to heal/grave someone who was below me. Then we had to wait for a guy to come back and revive someone by the bridge, and he didn't even know the right way (somehow) and couldn't check.

did he win?

Because again, it has nothing that makes Diablo good.
Fight powerful bosses and lots of mobs, without any of the customization, RPG elements and tailored itemization of Diablo, not to mention with the clunky movement of an RTS game thrown into the mix, complete with starting and stopping animations.

If it actually did play like Diablo it'd be good. Lazy, but good. This is lazy but terrible.

Witch doctor is probably the best healer and abaddon is probably the best tank.
Troll, TA, and shadowfiend are pretty good.

So you're telling me
that THIS ugly chink
is the one that imposed fashion and beauty standards on esports dotards?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

can i request some naga? :3

...

>artificial difficulty

>that voice
no way that's a dude

she literally sounds like music every time she talks

Jakiro with Veil MURDERS shit all game.

Tidehunter can also absorb pretty much everything that is dangerous

WD and Dazzle are tied. Dazzle is much better as an actual healer earlier on, specially if people aren't stupid with the bosses, and grave is an anti-retard spell. So you should pick Dazzle unless you're playing with people you trust. I would much prefer WD everytime because he's massive lategame.

I was promised sluts dotards

>take enemy
>make it attack faster, hit harder, and take longer to kill
>change nothing else about him

In what way is it NOT artificial difficulty?

>>>/lolg/

>They already patched out HotD

He's easier than normal ogres packs that don't give you a huge arena to fight in?

man...this was real bad

bet you complain about trial and error too

That doesn't make him any less artificially difficult. At all. Abusing the terrible AI has no bearing on how lazily difficulty was metered out in this game.

Depends on the genre.

she tilts harder than i do

>people actually thought Valve would take the time to develop a proper fun co-op minigame
reminder that Blizzard would have made something great

And casual.

you're providing value to valve regardless since you're playing their game. F2P games require players to make the game work, after which the game can start selling shit to people since they know the game won't die.

yeah i bet blizzard would have made something amaz-

Issulittubureika!

But I like siltbreaker, it ismuch better than I expected.

that fucking temple level and those traps, cost me fucking 4 lives RIP

How exactly does that work when the queue for real games is locked behind the compendium?

So you basically NEED Troll to fight the bosses?

desu, i liked the last event better, dark rift or what ever it was called

no

How do i queue with good teammates in this game?

>complaining about FREE content
be grateful you didn't have to pay $10 for this you fucking babies

It was also playable by everyone.

I can't just invite my friends who occasionally play dota to this one.

Hell, valve could easily just have locked the rewards away, but let people play it, but NOOOO.

>The notes

Cooking hero confirmed?

(D)umb (K)umiko (P)oster

this honestly people are way too fucking entitled
it's a FREE game that's STILL in BETA what do you expect

Hell no, Jakiro alone is enough to murder all bosses before the spider. You're doing something wrong.

How are you enjoying Siltbreaker friends?

One of my teammates used up all his respawns on the first zone, and now another teammate refuses to go out and go die. He's afk.

There's no abandoning from lack of experience in Siltbreaker. This has become a battle of wills.

I would say that the best combo at the moment is drow, wr, sven and dazzle.
drow gives damage buff to wr and can clear small enemies fairly quick, sven gives damage buff to wr and tankiness. dazzle saves everybody with shallow grave and is good for at least one part of the map with the healing spell, and generally good for taking down armor.
wr is gonna do all the single target damage bosses die instantly.

None of my teams have been able to get past the first boss, most don't make it past the bears, some don't make it past the first group.

Tide Drow Jakiro WD is especially strong, good blend of everything. Tide takes no damage from wolves if he levels correctly.

Tide with Ring of Protection or Shield?

5 games in on US East. Not a single English speaker on my team. I have given up.

>Ghost segment

>Just a bunch of fire spewing corridors that kill you quickly
>And barely any enemies

>You get less stars if ANYONE dies
>And someone WILL die in that deathtrap at least once

So the correct way to beat this and get another siltbreaker chest is to simply let abaddon/tide run it alone, get the orb as fast as possible, get the 3stars, and then come out on the second exit to where everyone sat doing nothing.


Why is valve telling 3 out of 4 people to NOT play if they want the best rewards?

And this is disregarding the orbs are bugged and you can just repick the one from the area above to get 3stars in less than 1 second. Because valve is stupid and made the quest trigger picking up an orb, ANY orb, even the one you could already have.

Umm... dotards?

Shield, use the dropped slippers to make a free poorman's

Just queue in a few days (or weeks) when everyone has played it through at least once.

you don't actually get an abandon

This implies your allies don't instapick legion and tiny.

Explain, because it says you get an abandon.

wait, you're not playing this with FRIENDS?

People play non-compedium restricted game modes.

>Because valve is stupid and made the quest trigger picking up an orb, ANY orb

They also forgot to make HotD not work on the enemies in this mode.
Despite the exact same shit being done on Dark Moon day 1.

It's just bugged like Dark Moon was, you can leave all you want
