>being held hostage by spics and russians for an hour while you basically have no control of a game you will most likely lose is fun
youre retarded for thinking that way
im offering you freedom here, you shouldnt have to play a losing game, and if anything valve is in the wrong for punishing leaving
the moment something goes wrong you should be able to abandon and find another game, including in ranked matches and it shouldnt count as a loss

...

>offering freedom
you're giving all nine other people a chance to ruin your game with no consequence
that's not freedom, that's hell on earth
fuck it's like you don't even consider that there are people besides yourself you must be autistic

>Only handful of 4ks
>1k mmr discrepancy almost every time
>Account buying faggots in every fucking game
How do I escape 4k in Australia?

he's right though

its a video game the other players may as well be npcs and 90% of the time teammates end up being worse enemies than the actual enemies
when you can leave no matter what it incentivizes people to actually play respectfully because when there is no consequence for not wanting to be held hostage by others incompetence, people must play by your rules and actually try to win
i dont want to be friends with people i want them to be obedient dogs
valve should sell mmr, $15 per 100 mmr

i'm gonna get buffed right?

you have to escape australia first

uhhh guys, bane is a sleeper

It would incentivize me to play the most stupid shit because I could leave as soon as my cheese got countered, and then do it again next game
it would also let me ruin more games, since I'll jump from game to game so often
is that what you intended?

naga too

woah whos the QT m8?

>one of 4 heroes not picked at TI
lmao

Perhaps you should hire someone from Hardblush. Especially if you are into some m/m action. I would personally recommend Doxy.

What went wrong?

MoM got overbuffed

>no longer gives lifesteal
it's fucked

its better than current retarded system where you have to spend an hour getting yelled at by spics/russians who do all the same shit you just described and worse but they get punished for it, but if you dont want to deal with it you get dragged down to hell with them

am i supporting the game by playing it or buy buying stuff at the store

buff me

Buy buying the battle pass when it comes out.

>winter battlepass soon

>these are the types of people left in this general

buying stuff of course, are you 12?

>Basi ring + dominator = Vladimir's
Will this fix this shit? Not only it'll buff domi but vlads too and the creep control and aura seems like a good synergy.

...

both but actually spending money is more of supporting because the game will die if its unable to generate dollar bills

...

Give it better stats. The active is awesome but the stats got nerfed too hard. More attack speed or cheaper would do.

>be me
>feel cold
>put hoodie
>start to feel hot
>take hoodie off
>I’m cold again

Is there anything else I can do to prevent this?

is there a better feel than winning against an am counter picker

stop being a little bitch

POST MMR GRINDIN' TUNES happy tunes only edition

youtube.com/watch?v=5K4Tst_4PJg

winning as an am counter picker

>Not shitposting while naked with a heater on

LOL! Look at this faggot hahaha

yeah sure, jew

Did you try manning the fuck up?

you mean women-ing up? i just an sensitive to the temperature around me is all

how many times do we have to tell you that wearing a skirt does not make you a woman?

gotchu senpai
youtube.com/watch?v=j2V0M6jzjuk

having a vagina makes you a women :)

post mmr

No I mean manning up. If you women up you become more susceptible to minor changes in ambient temperature.

>no gender bender

mah nigga

>going to wake up tomorrow to e-sports

Valve insider here , expect a no boots meta in the incoming patch since all boots are getting nerfed as icefrog plans to slowly remove them from the game.

To deal with people that cant afford boots in real life? icefrog mah nigga

>stating facts
>jew

>start looking for dota streams
>end up watching cryaotic play ddlc
it was a better experience tbqh
PATCH NOTES WHEN?!??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!?!??!?!!??!??

im fine with removing boots because it opens more builds, but honestly travel can't be removed. Splitpushers would be too strong.

>get rid of movement speed buffs from items/talents and restrict mobility to abilities (all nerfed) and blink dagger / force staff (both nerfed in cooldown/range)
genius, now the game will require actual skill

>turn dota into lol
>genius, now the game will require actual skill
dotards btfo by leaguechads once again

>use the online Invoker trainer until I'm comfortable with switching spells
>still suck at the hero
How do I play this slut?

>implying that valve wants this game to be played in any way other than constant League style meme-fighting

The fuck are you talking about. HotD is a superior Midas my boy.

superior for the enemy team, maybe

Soon.

Riki is literally steel the hedgehog

>Necro every single game
>bans him
>BS every single game
Dotards?

>being scared of BS

Coldsteel, im sorry. Also, there is a fanart with him as riki?

>teleports behind you

>Forces your whole team to pick differently just to "counter" a fucking 1st pick BS
>Ebin tp needs to be off CD every fucking minute
>Still very useful even when poor as fuck

Yeah fuck that hero.

>it's a hologram

a-anyone?

fucking... play him? just play him dude. pick him, keep playing him. just play him. JUST play him. like it's not hard dude, just fucking play him you knob.

learn the combinations, then think about what to do and not just use your spells.

>online trainer
Post records

>buy linkens
>win

you do know he has bloodrage on a 6 second cooldown right? linkens is absolute garbage vs BS

forcing him to waste either spell is a win because he does barely any damage in any fight he doesn't have an advantage in
blood is a utility hero that tards play as a carry, he is gambling on you tilting and making a misplay. keep your shit together and just fight back at him, most of the time you can win these fights if you came in prepared
if you're playing wardcuck you can also get lotus to really annoy him

This is true. But for one time, just once.... Perhaps the time to shine for Blood is now. Just you wait and see... One day he'll get it right. One day.

>wake up
>no patch notes

like 30 seconds on classic

>+2 all stats. Holy moley, circlet tier stats on a 2k gold item!
>+15 measley attack speed
>no lifesteal anymore

>never play invoker
>get 16.5 just reading the combos off the sidebar
come on man, just post your real time, no need to be shy

>waking up at 8 am to watch EG shit the bed again

I'm not joking dude, actually I just achieved 20.5 seconds. I'm doing it from memory though; what time should I be aiming for?

>another week for a test client patch.
>another two for a main one.
>another month for valve to realize it won't stop the bleeding.
>another two for them to realize it's too late.

whats too late?

wow, who’s the qt mate?

You're gonna get an Immortal that adds nipples

tfw invoker ruined other heroes for me

I like it, someone email this to the frog.

Will 7.07 nerf Silencer?

Did you guys know Sam Hyde plays Dota?

You mean buff?

icefrog seems like a cool dude

Well considering I like to play Silencer and rape face with him I figured he was going to get a nerf. Much like my man Earth Spirit, and Skywraith mage.

>take off global imo
>well, ignoring that
BASED

Is quas wex invoker still good?

I'm going to rephrase this into

>is invoker still good

the answer is no.

DUBS WHEN

Check em

>Play Arc in duo queue
>Get paired up with 3 other retards that can't perform their duties (ACTUALLY me ooga team booga)
>Lose
>This has happened last two Arc Warden games
You dotards are either going to have to tell me the cheat code for 1v9ing as Arc or I am going to start getting violent and usurp this general in a bloody coup

proofs?
