Previously on D2G:

Realistically speaking if you get the "Waveform hit enemies" talent can you attack somebody twice?

>WK picked
OH YUMYE!

no anime

Anime makes you better at dota

I hope everyone is enjoying the new patch and the constant e-sports as much as I am

>i-it's valves fault, not mine!!
Seriously grow up and stop blaming your shortcomings on every one else.

The chad grant
The virgin sunsfan

I was a big detractor of lacoste not too long ago but hes cute with the small beard and the suit i like him

Why does sunsfan sound like he's speaking through his nostril?

you better believe I am, user

YOUR KING IS HERE

So gulag, what is your opinion on status resistance?
reddits hates it.

He's american

>new patch
>has a few bugs

>am
>anti mage

What is proper starting items fit position 5 support? My friends get annoyed when I buy a blightstone on witch doctor for a starting item. Also, a friend was telling me that mana boots are the worst boots in the game. Is that true?

Or maybe it's the snowballing nature of Dota, and people not being allowed to play the role they've spammed to climb all the time? That guy who felt like a 7k monster might seem like a 2k feeder the next game. This is a very simple concept. Of course, easier than accepting you're shit is to blame the game so naturally you'd gravitate towards that

>mid void
someone post it

something something jew

((()))

>1 sec stun becomes .7

Needs to be rescaled

...

*Currently listening to weeb music*

i feel like there should have been more to this post

stfu you redditard. For once use your fucking brain and form your own opinion.
And i don't give a shit what reddit's saying. If i can abuse it to make my enemy feel like they are being anally raped, i will do it and none can stop me. YOU FUCKING REDDITARD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

nice audio synch dotards

It only really affects STR heroes, which are the ones I use the most, so of course I love it

i cant get out of 4800, been here for 2 months

whats your secret?

if it gets nerfed because brainlets from reddit couldn't adapt with changes i will be fucking mad.

listening to weeb music, he literally just said

play better

Is kaya worth buying against anti mage?

Anime in between games

...

now you do 120 damage to him with finger of death instead of 110

>SH1T TOP3 ES
loving every laugh

fap in between games

>6 less mana (18 with manta) lost per hit
wow...

lanm only plays those annoying stupid heroes like undying pudge and his job is to bother the other team

no, 10% manaburn reduction is nothing. If you're a core you have better items to fill your slots, if you're a support you won't get anything past force staff / glimmer anyway. And if you need protection, ghost scepter is still superior

Idk how it works with storm, might be worth it on him but only him

Guess that hero!

and accomplish nothing. He's like iceiceice except he has big dick

hahaha le ebin turbo mode XdXd SURE GOT ME buDDY!

>300seconds is 6 minutes
are all dota players mouthbreaTHers?

>british """"breakfast"""" = european breakfast
NA education strikes once again

Kaya isn't worth getting on anyone ever until it builds into something

With the exception of heroes like pudge or tiny, even a 6 slotted centaur at max level only gets around 33% reduction, and being restricted only to strenght heroes it isn't a big deal

PA or Ember Spirit

anyone who likes the way status res works is a fucking retard
we need to stop stealing lol mechanics, were able to admit its a poorly designed game so why are we copying it so much
when im playing invoker, tornado puts someone in the air for 2.9 seconds with aghs
its important for that to remain consistant so they dont have a chance to bkb and dodge the emp or meteor or blast or whatever im targeting
When im playing kunkka and i have rapiers, i should x marks myself for exactly 8 seconds
keyword: NOT 6.3334 SECONDS
THAT SHIT IS GAME LOSING

rate sunsfan as a serious caster
spoiler alert: 3/10
as a memester on his own channel: solid 8/10

>tfw am is your trigger
>tfw hear it at least 20 times per day

8/10 with grant

but they are in croatia?

he's comfy

croatia is a chav magnet you'd figure they'd adapt

It needs to be adjusted. It shouldn't work on Euls/Tornado, Astral Imprisonment, Disruption and X Marks the Spot.
Otherwise it's ok.

He's ok. Wish he cut it with the jokes though

life is truly suffering

him and grant are the best pair at this event

Is SingSing dare I say it... /ourguy/?

>firstpick AM every game when he's not banned
>80% winrate in the last 20 games

fucking this. He's not even remotely funny.

>grandgrant willingly submits to the dotapit jews and immediately loses all character
/d2g/ will defend this

welcome to 100 years ago idiot

are you making ops with outdated links os purpose?

i'd give grant the succ

they do work well together

what changes? I am currently download the patch.

>wraith-king doesn't one-shot ancients
>this isn't explained in the ability somehow

>at this event
That is not an impressive feat

stop posting badCelestia

yes of course, i mean when maut is in the mix you know the bar is low

support because core is overrated and accept the fact that games are decided by a dice roll below 4k5

>no sexy sun hero
dotards?

I can't play any other role besides support. I hate running to farm creeps. I like fighting enemy heroes. What hero enables me to do that well? I don't mind farming but I don't like that when it's my primary focus. Also, is slardar a support still?

spirit breaker

>creeps give more xp and gold
>cleave is better
>cleave costs less
>you can buy a naked morbid mask instead of having to commit to vlads
>blink talent allows him to outrange rupture damage on blink
>he has AS talent on first row which really makes farming noticeably faster early
>lmao 85% magic resistance at 25
all in all he's just a fucking beast

Ok, that was cool

...

JAYSUS.

On a witch doctor you should be starting with cro two wards, one sentry (if they have supports and you need to deward mid or rune), clarity.
Arcanes dont scale well but theyre fine because you can disassemble for an aether later which is good on most int supports. But on wd I'd go tranqs. If you need mana regen buy a void stone to build into euls or aether later.
Going brown boots isnt bad either if you wanna rush a glimmer or force staff. But brown boots got nerfd this patch so you might want to pick up a wind lace in that case, which you can later build into drums or euls.

out played

undying, ogre

I'm so tired dotards

same
im gonna go sleep

>ghosts and zombies vs skeletons
when did chinks get so festive

>mfw void is back on top

>noobee

>pick all the team fight heroes
>win all the team fights

Dotards?

what website?

>actual russians on the lag
I've been thinking, could it be the russians here are the ones who are always racebaiting

>WK still not viable in competitive
more buffs incoming

so am i, I spent like a week fixing my sleep schedule, and then i slept for like 15 hours. Now I'm doing my like 7th 24 hours awake in like 6 weeks

Is starting without any form of HP regen really advisable? How is the support supposed to zone the offlaner if he has no tangos?

gosubet

What's so significant about tranqs? Wouldn't the extra mana allow me to do more stuff from mana boots?

if I jungle WK, should I just use skeletons whenever they're ready to bank them?

>if I jungle WK, should I just use skeletons whenever they're ready to bank them?

You should probably bank them and use them when you gank lanes.

Yeah i'm sure it's the russians
