>game infamous for being a thirdie containment exe

>n-no you're the shitskin

Why do pros keep banning Bristle when the hero is so garbage?

*sits on your face*

哈哈哈

What do you guys feel about MDL final match being CN civil war again? How are western teams gonna win TI7 now?

does it look like we can read moonrunes?

contrary to shitposters belief, watching streams counts as being contained
like any self respecting white person would watch the game instead of exterminating shitskins ingame
the truest shitskin reveals itself

Creates too much space and isn't a hero you can simple go on.

In this patch people don't want that noise.

holy shit peruANOs are so brown

CUAL ES TU MMRE, /d2g/?

are we still watching MDL now that EG and OG are out?

chinga tu madre, user

didn't know Tobi could speak spanish

>you can't go out because there are too many racists
KEK

I'll be up for the first series but I ain't staying up all night for chink dota.

>playing Witcher 3 ost on Dota 2 event

>less than 45% winrate at 4k/5k

Honestly it feels more like a case of "we don't know how to play with this hero but we'll keep playing/banning it because that's what everyone else is doing". It's a shame that the frog is forced to nerf heroes into oblivion just because """""pros""""""" are too thick-headed to think outside the box.

how much longer till real Dota?

>just won my first ever Meepo game 24/4 and got a rampage
Validate me. Also I have no idea if my build was dogshit because I just picked him on a whim, so give tips.

>DotA2 supposedly massive in Peru
>Crowd is literally a few dozen people
What

I really hope fng isn't casting
they couldn't get a fourth english caster?

no complaining kurwa

Pro Dota and Ranked is different though

In Pro, teamfights are your bread and butter and they can end in a instance since each member works together to go after the people they consider important.
Bristle creates a imaginary dome you can't engage due to quills going crazy if you all go on him when pros have to do or the other will get the better than them.

Ranked is whoever has the more skilled players or who can snowball the hardest, luckily Bristle players don't know how to teamfights so don't play him right and die.

nice blog, subscribed :^)

>Lina and CM are now tier 1 picks
>WR is a meme pck
whats wrong with WR and how do we fix her?

There's no esports on so might as well discuss Dota.

What music enhances MMR gains the most?

Wind is the worst element, make her a Dark Type

Hero needs either a complete rework or significant changes. The frog tried to make her into a support so now she's stuck in the purgatory between being a real core and a real support while being neither.

Pretty much useless without Blink+Aghs+mael. With that much farm almost every core is better than her.

Most are also better at getting that much farm fast.

Don't overthing things, there are certainly things that work in pubs that don't in pro games but there are an equal amount of things that are more or less tradition in the pro meta that don't get challenged
Most glaring examples would be AA chilling touch vs cold feet at level 1, VP turned the hero from a never picked into first pick/ban and caused 3 nerfs in a row to Chilling Touch by just taking the skill at level 1 instead of of cold feet.
Best current example is CK, it took ages after the changes to RR for the 1-4-4 build to catch on in pro meta despite being the build every autistic hero mainer advertised, the massive change that broke the skill was months before it caught on in pro meta, again because "4-4-1" was just because how it was always done.

Not every theorycrafting clan_iraq build is good, but at the same time not everything pros has a deep and complicated explanation behind it.

>Focus Fire no longer gets upgraded by Aghs
>Focus Fire no longer has a cooldown
>Focus Fire damage reduction to 50%/30%/10%
>Focus Fire now costs x mana to activate, while draining y/w/z mana per second while active (like Lesh's ultimate)

>Wind
>bad
There's a reason this is at 1 and will be for all eternity.

Obviously Wind has nothing on Water or Dark.

Overrated garbage tier music.

o kurwa, thats it
prepare for death

holy god why is the stream in putaese

Say it with me /d2g/:

AUSTRALIANS

ARE

NIGGERS

TNC is our only hope against the chinese. Don't believe in the liquid/VP hype.

anime music

will Blitz cast at TI?

>those who can't play carry, play Lifestealer
>those who can't play mid, play QoP
>those who can't play offlane, play Centaur
>those who can't play roaming support, play clockwerk
>those who can't play hard support, play Lich
how correct is this?

he'll cast a team's hopes to the wind

What's Juggernaut good at? He's squishy and mana hungry in the early game, needs a lot of farm, and isn't even a strong late game carry.

wrong, those who cant play carry usually roll with jugg or slark

>custom games will never bring me dota balduars gate
feels fucking bad

pushing towers

>lowest natural BAT in the game
>not even strong
yea maybe if you buy no stat items, but a true 6 slotted Juggernaut carries pretty hard

There's about 5 minutes in the game where he's fucking unstoppable. Just gotta make sure to win within those 5 minutes.

>ingame fps/ping says 80-144fps and 25-150ms
>visible framerate feels like literally 10fps
>ping feels like 150-500ms with occasional disconnects
>literally every other game and network speedtest runs fine
>6ms ping on speedtest and flat 144+fps in basically anything that's more than 5 years old

did valve fix these performance issues or not? what the FUCK

>CM is the only girl in the party
of course

>versatile
>good siege
>pretty stronk scaling carry actually
>good pickoff ability (ult)
>fast farm
>free bkb
>healing ward is amazing

>Implying it was Blitz that made Planet Numale lose to Swindlemelonz
3K player w33ha did that all on his own

>alliance retreating
>their huskar drops low, and then gets false promised by oracle
>huskar doesn't turn and go ham on their entire team and instead just keeps retreating
what a disgrace

poor communication probably

anyone have a collection of those "did you say FREE damage" maymays with dota 2 heroes

>DC without blitz
>TI runner ups, people say they will break the cycle
>PO with blitz
>loses to swindle "21 mana" melonzz

Blitz was coaching them during TI6 wasn't he?

>dude put pressure on lanes when farming lmao
>9k tips brought to you by none other than blitzdota, please hire me to coach your team

>FULL FUCKING HP
Nice hero frog

>finally Era on Huskar goes ham
based, this is what I watch Huskar games for

pajkatt

Valve should add a timer to the aegis for observers.

SPIC RAGEQUIT LOL

What do you think of creating a women's league for Dota to help grow the game with women?

Chess has sexually segregated leagues even though chess is purely a mental activity where men have no advantage.

We need moonduck or bts to do it first, valve arent allowed to come up with their own stuff anymore

For what purpose?

I'd be for it, but inevitably you'll have bitching from two camps
>wahh this is not fair for women, they should have the ability to compete with men, and teams should try to incorporate women into them!
>wahh this is women's privilege im male and oppressed btw

Because there arent any women in dota to begin with
LoL and CS are different, Dota requires strategic insight as well as good desision making and teamwork, all virtues most women lack

how about Dota actually gets a substation female playerbase before attempting to give them shit tons of FREE money to pretend to be pro players?

There wouldn't be enough players

>That is a 10/10 on Peru

Bernardo?

Women don't play Dota

Why is that?

Reminder that the caster who isn't Tobi or Fogged lived the dream and dated Soe.

>those who can't be interesting or make good content, shift focus and talk shit constantly about other people to fill the void in their life

>substation
substantial*

>chess is purely a mental activity
>men have no advantage

not enough pretty female heroes that's why they all play League

You need to be an autist and dedicate your free time to learning a game that only smelly nerds play. Women are less likely than men to do that.

>paying 25usd to watch t3 teams play
>or pay 2usd to skip school and play the entire day at a netcafe
>seriously why are we watching people play when I can be ANTIMAGE and get 45min battlefuries huehue :V report gringo puta

where did durka and soe come from?
source?

Of all the qualifier teams from every region, the best showings will come from SEA and SA.

>Gooks and peruvians can't even beating the shitty team that is modern Alliance
Will Infamous even get any money for getting last place at TI?

everyone deserves to get paid :)

Storm Spirit
Templar Assassin
Tiny

There a 80% of probablity that Infamous is sandbagging

>Storm Spirit
>Templar Assassin
>Tiny
Faceless void
Ogre magi
Earth shaker

>position 1 venomancer
are memes real?

Wrong order bro.

>a mental activity where men have no advantage.

there are more men on both ends of the IQ spectrum than women.

there is a ~200 ELO difference between the best male chess player vs the best female chess player. Out of the top 500 players, only 7 are female.

It's not that uncommon these days
