so is nullifier the next best item for hyper attack speed carries?

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land? this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me, hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

This format is so fucking shit holy shit

hey guys im learning arc warden, im having trouble microing, i just use tab because it's easy and i've bound spacebar to go to my original hero, its all fine but when I come to split pushing and using manta "tab" just selects ALL units including illusions making it hard to micro. Any tips?

what is the most populous chinese server?

pubs are literally unplayable

thanks for the meal dotards

Stop being gay.

Thursday gonna be good with Secret-Liquid and Secret-VP.
Can't wait :3

Come and stop me.

>NA though

NICE REWORKS YOU FUCKING GOON

WHAT WAS THE POINT

WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT

play the secretly alright hero pangolier
everyone expects you to be shit, but you're good instead

new heroes when

futanari is straight

But Varg, the Romans were massive faggots

naw, all he needs is his own $40 arcana set so Valve can put his 60% win rate to good use :)

to ruin fun iconic heroes that everyone enjoyed playing

It's a deliberately bad item currently. Wait for buffs.

>mfw someone tries to sully the name of the roman empire
KISAAAMMMAAAAA

Tried playing support Morphling last night. Hooooly shit, it is bad. The stun is awful. To get the max duration on the stun, you also are forced to get the full knockback, which is 500 units. This ends up being extremely disruptive to your own team, especially if you have a melee carry. It's too situational to even justify. The new ult is underwhelming with and against 90% of the roster.

>guy in my pub calls Pang a she and says he is homosexual

what the fuck is wrong with dota players

Reminder that quebecers = pretentious peruvians

>massive faggots
That was the greeks

what's happening on the 9th?

leave chad finem out of this

>no eSports for 7 hours

use control groups

What if he could morph himself OR enemy heroes as that the spell requires 2 clicks: Click the target you want to morph and then click the target it should get morphed into to.
>Click enemy Sniper
> Morph him into allied omniknight

>shitrekt getting dumpstered
CAN'T WAIT

can someone please explain what new Tiny is supposed to be or do

remain unpicked

You repick him or so I heard

Dreamleague Qualifiers

2nd best EU team still though.

Nostalgia to remind everyone how powercreeped modern dota is

How do I convince my 3k teammates to let me farm Venge?

> calling secret, shitrekt in 2017

why is it bad
it seems ultra god tier on heroes like skywrath. late game he becomes so irrelevant but you can instantly silence and use nullifier and they cant bkb, force staff, manta, blademail, or shadowblade and still delete people

>he needs permission from his teammates to do things

I don't like having to compete with my teammate for farm.

>he doesn't just take the farm for himself

>being too beta to reply to the person you're talking to
Quit staring at your shoes and look me in the eye you dumb little sissy.

no

why did antimages winrate go up so high
did i miss something in the patch notes

combination of battle fury being purchasable earlier, lane creeps giving more gold per kill, and his talents being very good. he went from not great late game carry vs several other heroes to being able to have his powerspike scale well into late.

>6 loses in a row
im ready to end it all

>pick dark seer
>enemy picks oracle
>purges every single iron shell
what the fuck

IS THAT BALANCED?

>pick dark seer
first mistake

he was already good it was just that BF was really bad but since they buffed it he got overbuffed
AM + wisp is so broken
actually wisp will probably go back to being 98% first pick/ban

i just got a 10min battlefury on antimage and still lost the game cause my team was absolutely retarded, should i end myself?

Post your favorite and least favorite things about this patch.

>PMS removed from the game
Fucking finally. This item completely overshadowed everything else and screwed with itemization across the game

>Can no longer buy phase boots from the sideline.
Why? You can't even bottle crow anymore, so it's not like your mid is going to need the courier that much. It's just an inconvenience.

t. 1k

>offlane void with le smug pepe avatar
>0-7-1 20 min in
wow

>niche hero countered by meme hero
Seems balanced to me

>AM is OP
thanks icefrog now i can finally get 6k

>PMS removed from the game
fuck you icefrog i liked that item

>mid laner goes for the bounty rune instead of doing a block

Miracle = goat carry
Kuro = goat captain

Add three stable 9k players who all have unique aspects in their game and you'll get Liquid.

This team is on road to become goat team.

>It's a deliberately bad item currently

it makes manta a shit tier item choice now, that alone makes it pretty good on certain heroes.

>can no longer buy phase
holy shit i don't remember Blades being removed from the side

Why don't carries buy the courier? It's only 200 gold. The supports having more money for regen, wards, or boots allows for much easier control of the lane. Plus the carry will get that money refunded in 4 last hits.

I'd buy a Wraith King arcana desu. He deserves it since Blizz cucked him.

Eternal reminder that TI5 was a fluke.

venge is my favourite thing

PMS was bullshit that made laning phase pointless because harassment was impossible.

Liquid is a bunch of Dota autist, just weeks after winning TI7 they already went back to grinding pubs, so the motivation issue that has plagued all past TI winners doesn't seem to bother them that much.

How do i get people to not tilt instantly when i grab techies?

Why are the people who call out the most shit or otherwise the most toxic the worst on your team EVERY TIME

this, NA has never won a true TI

People who call for wards after they die weren't looking at the minimap in the first place or else they would have noticed the lack of wards sooner.

So, why doesn't in pro games the pos5 buy the bottle for his mid since they are fully sharable?
Like you play Dazzle and start the game with only 5 tangos and buy a bottle from the passive gold income shortly after the 2 min mark.

Do you want a useless fuckin support in lane? This is how you do it.

Carries should be buying the utilities for the team. But this is unthinkable for every single birdbrain carry. I need muh fuckin slipper and clarity!!!!

It's due to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect

>In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein people of low ability suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is. The cognitive bias of illusory superiority derives from the metacognitive inability of low-ability persons to recognize their own ineptitude.
>Without the self-awareness of metacognition, low-ability people cannot objectively evaluate their actual competence or incompetence.

>save the world from a second chink vs chink final
>win through strategic superiority
>yurop will never stop being salty about this

why would I be salty about liquid winning TI7?

>First pick p5
>Entire team proceeds to pick 4 p3/4's
???

Can we have a fucking tutorial to direct theses people to already.

What else could a Dazzle get then where he will have significant impact in the first 2-3 min?
He's only there for heals and grave and he can get off both without any items.

wards
smoke
dust
sentry
courier
boots
clarity
salve

Pangolier is the true test of dota skill. If you think he's a shit hero, there is a good chance you too are shit

Still a team game so the pos 4 buys cour, little regen and wards.
The 3 cores buy regen for themselves.

>so the pos 4 buys cour, little regen and wards.
courier + wards is 360 gold in this patch

>6055 Solo MMR
>1704 Party MMR
Why is this allowed?

get better friends?

200 cour, 160 wards, 150 tango, 2 clarity 100 + free TP

this is why "strict solo ranked matchmaking" exists

Play turbo

Well then you go ahead and buy your mid a bottle, dude. Tell me how it works out for you.

Who's that hero that only needs to use E, W and Q in quick succesion to win, no Ult required?
