why don't shrines replenish bottle charges dotards?

>shine

which one has a watery context

are there actually some people who are somewhat good but like to just play some FUN dota ?

or asking differently...

is it even POSSIBLE to play FUN dota but also trying to play GOOD dota ?

good dota is fun dota

im assuming good means winning here tho. correct me if im wrong.

I destroyed my items as jugg when we were 2 rax ahead just to hear my tusk scream at me on mic

Then when we were about to lose i tpd in and backdoored the enemy fountain

lotta fun desu

Where's the water dotards?????

i dunno playing with a group for example sometimes feels like playing "good" means KNOWING the game mechanics is basicly enough to be able to play good and everything else just comes after ..

i dunno ... just writing this makes me realize that it seems to be actually really tough to play what you think is GOOD dota while playing with friends that you know are competent with computergames but still not on the same "tryhard playing the game every day" level ...
what i mean is it seams to be really tough to hit the sweet spot of FUN if you are somewhat "good" but actually not really good but even "not really good" actually means you invested a lot of time into something thats just a video game

>good dota is always fun
And lately my matches have all been 60+ mins of great dota

inside the cauldron

but isnt that weird?
these 60+ games that you think you are actually losing but eventually winning just because of your single awesome play gives you the hype to keep playing this game ........... while these things happen maybe like one out of 20 games

>it's a "your team picks cm and rubick supports in 3k mmr and proceed to be useless all game" episode

Can anyone explain the memes in this picture to a fresh newfag who only started the game like a month ago?

That's not water that's syrup

patch metas

???

You should be thankful that you have teammates who are willing to take on the mantle of support you ungrateful fuck.

>implying 3k meta is not pick 5 cores

How about you take on the mantle of go fuck yourself

this to be kind of honest actually as awful as it sounds

Care to be more specific?

>be 4.4k
>get matched with 3.7-4.0k players
>they want to play core

Thats the meta yeah
but
>enemy team picks 5 cores
>my team picks 2 squishy supports and feeds the carries of the enemy team with failed ganks
guess who wins this epic 3k matchup

Has there been a new one for TI7?
I imagine the roaming support meta could be used for some fresh memes.

>I'm a support cuck who fucking sucks as a support but I'm immune to criticism cause I'm somehow morally superior for playing support

>400 mmr matters
anything below 7k is a joke. now be a good cuck and support them, you'll probably win more if you actually work with the team

...

Okay, if you think you are so much better how about you play support then? I'll be waiting.

so deep

>be 1k
>get matched with 0k players
>they dont know what core is

>be 1k

What the fuck is up with you supportfags in games suddenly being on a highhorse nowadays? Every role is equally important.

Supporting is for sluts and girls (males).

go back to redd*t

>be 4k

>tfw just hit 4k mmr
I'm so happy I finally made it my gulag brothers.

I would blame it on Overwatch for breeding the newest, most whiny and irritable generation of support shitters.

>be 3k
>random
>mute everyone
>have fun

just a friendly reminder if you ever drop out of 4k you're still a good player fellow dotard :)

two & a half mid or something

each patch is different and has its own best heros and a 'meta'
the meta is basically what's best for pros

lets say theres 5 prominent heros in the meta and it revolves around some common theme - like a movie

Well played. Now welcome to the hell that is 4k.

Had to go to reddit for this
Hope you are happy

>3 mid
>actually the best meta

uhh dotards?

Missing one from last TI

>be a support cuck spammer snice forever
>play some unranked to try some cores
>can't last hit for jack shit
>can't clear jungle camps fast enough
>end up with 470 gpm as core
our mid sf got feed an carried the game . so how i do excatlly get 700 gpm like the core i play with ranked .

LEARN HOW TO LAST HIT

Pretty straightforward.

Le epic MEME PUSH
>TI4, games would end in 20 minutes, the team who death balls (group up early and take objectives) harder wins.

The MEME BACK
>Because TI4, IceRetard introduced rubber band mechanics with steroids, which got nerfed several times in a short period after patch. If the enemy carry stomps but dies once, the bounty is like 2000 gold+.

Bloodstone
>Every fucking game Storm Spirit and Leshrac mid. Leshrac was insta ban in TI5 because IceRetard buffed his lightning. So he pretty much spams lightning in lane, ez wins lane, flash farms and does shit tonne of damage.

Into the IntMeta
>OD + Omni = free win

Keep practicing. You already know what you should be aiming for and what you're doing wrong.

For 700 gpm you need a right hero or a good start. 500-600 is just last hitting and maybe learning farming patterns. Just play more and try what works.

Le epic meme push is push all towers, rarely fight other enemies
Memeback is the opposite, just fight all the time and get more and more gold from winning and losing and winning them
Bloodstone was Spellcaster meta, Lesh and Storm were popular because octarine aghs were broken
Meme mids and saving fucking retards is basically heal people so they wont die, and turn around fights
Into int meta is basically just kill people with your broken skillsets
Tanks is tanky initators that stun people and never die because lmao forcestaff and built in heals

...

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You sound like you're in 2k mmr. When i'm playing in 4.1k avg mmr games, the 3.9k either randoms or plays core. GETS THE MOST DUMB FUCK ITEMS or is fucking garbage. 3.9~4.3k have the most shit stain down syndrome retards.

I hate the actor names are still there

>everyone below my MMR are retards

WOW

What did he mean by this?

I'm 4k and just won a game playing mid viper

fixed for ya

>be in the top 90% of players
yeah wow

If only there was a core that
>Has amazing pretty good laning potential
>Has the best kill potential 1v1 when he gets lvl 6
>Could farm incredibly fast
>Can split-push AND teamfight extremely well
>Doesn't fall off, rather every item he purchases is another power spike

How is he level 25 without a shadow blade or a blink?

wr webm anyone?

You should have jsut added actor names like Artour bavaeb and stuff like that

...

...

But I'm too lazy to learn how to play arc

thanks brathatski

Is it just me or is there a very small pool of good roamers?
Spirit breaker
Night stalker
Kunkka
Riki
Bounty Hunter
Earth Spirit
Slaadar
and thats it right? As a pos 4 player I'm bored of spamming Riki/night stalker/slaadar/sb but I don't see the point in playing any other roamer when those 4 do everything the others do

dota 2 general? more like dead 2 general lmao

The hero is LITERALLY R=>TAB or whatever key you have to switch units=>Forcestaff/Blink into temafight=>Play as a normal hero at least for starters

Give me a list of names. I'm not autistic enough to know all the pro players' names.

Add tusk and Pudge if you are good with them, and if you are not, then not.

Sand King is ok

they'd do that anyway
look at the enemy necro's build man
just cooperate with your team and you're more likely to win.

what a slut

Blink would've been cancelled.

I've lost with every game of Tusk I've played. Is he just in a bad place right now? He has a 43% WR in pubs, and I can't tell why. He's mobile with Snowball, can keep mids from running away with shards, and his ult just helps finish someone off.

tfw dota so yandere

I need 5 more names

is this cap's gf?

>new AoE
>in 2017
>in this moba saturated and pew pew cs:go market
Well I guess they can count on the nostalgiabux

Sean Plott
since ti7 was all about ME

dead thread?

mind control/matu/kuro/gh
nahaz

P A T C H

dead game...

>covers her face
halal

this has potential

n0tail

bh is not that great a roamer, i cant think of any others atm desu

>night stalker has wings
>is finally given a flying ability
so when are other heroes with wings given flying abilities?

I went with the TI7 winners themselves.
