How is this balanced???

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.

How does one go Core/Carry Dark Willow with the intention to win?

DUDE

give me another meme build that will surely lose d2g

Rapier Rush Willow is still there. Along with the Farming Meme Ghostship Kunkka

>I'll commend whoever reports X

i want to kiss both of them at the same time

DUDE

Octarine, kaya and refresher gyro. Get the global calldown and -25 seconds cd talent and never leave your base
>15 seconds global calldown

Who is the most fun turbo hero and why is it weaver?

Like legit what items do I buy and shit for it

The best heroes are the ones where you can rush a big useful item and kill people for 15 minutes.
Beastmaster and Lesh are my usual choices.

Has anyone even seen an Aeon disk purchased once yet? I could only imagine it being good for the passive status resist and stats honestly

Check this 4

Try razor

>Still does less damage than Zeus ulting once
>Zeus is already a shit hero
Gyro is suffering

>"How do we make a sound for this new item upgrade?"
>"Just take the sound from its weaker version and add more echo."

It's good on pos 3 or lower heroes that aren't going to be dealing a large bulk amount of damage, but have important disables they still want to get off in fights.

This of course, never matters in pubs because you always want to pick a damage hero (even if you're playing 5) in case your teammates are shit. In that case BKB is strictly better.

thanks for the meal dotards

when are the mods going to ban these anime/waifu spamming faggots

>>Zeus is already a shit hero
why?

>Buy Magic Wand
>Zeus loses lane
>Buy BKB (Pipe if you're a lazy fucker)
>Zeus loses game
That's why.

What really hurts the item is the fact that heroes that want a safety net aren't the same heroes that want status resistance. It's heroes that want to be stunned less vs heroes that don't want to be stunned AT ALL.

Raindrops and Wand fuck his laning hard and you can just build BKB to trash him late.

reminder that sunsfan is right

Why do people say they gonna support then rush high costing carry items? I don't understand this at all.

second/third worlders

They're the same "supports" that complain on Reddit about how carries are all toxic and that supports shouldn't fall off in damage late.

here
next

Did you buy Rapier and afk hide with amulet or just use the amulet when they start looking for you but still fight?

I forgot to show the heroes

that was Turbo, right?

For some reason if you shield crash right after using Euls on yourself, you won't actually move forward.

So you can ult -> shield crash -> hit -> euls (hit while airborne) -> shield crash -> hit -> blink back -> shield crash -> hit -> q and shield crash again.

I hope this isn't fixed. It's a neat quirk that adds depth and another reason to go Euls.

>bkb at 5 seconds
>zeus starts winning again

Yeah but people will cry perma stun guaranteed death. You KNOW they'll gut it cause of crybabies.

That would be true if Zeus had any kind of sustain, mobility, or even range (beyond his ult). 5 seconds is plenty to kill him especially since he will literally never get ahead in farm while Magic Wand and Enchanted Raindrops exist.

Rolling Thunder probably has actual physics attached to it, so if you shield crash when you haven't built up any momentum, nothing happens.

And don't you need to get lucky with the knockback to be able to land another hit on somebody using that trick?

I don't think they'll gut it, considering there's a ton of long-duration stuns through talents and Pangolier requires significantly more setup + skill.

That said, it's fun running around with a basher and being the King of Stuns.

>Battle Cry is a 20cd BKB with 130 and 20 armor for both LD and his bear
how the heck is Lone Druid balanced in 7.07?

maybe if youre the only core in your team

i had plenty of games where enemy cores just run out of bkb and then died to tons of magic damage.

yes I want to try meme builds before I use it on normal or ranked games

maybe if youre reddit SJW.

LD is ourjew and uses laws of free market.
>"b-b-but he screws over other money hungry amoral assholes...THATS NOT FAIR!"

Its only business

Won't stop them catering to the babs that get smashed by it since basically every MMR is full of actual trash below 6k

You're underestimating Zeus's potential as a utility hero. He already has natural synergy with shit like Force and Eul's.

>can = should
no one wants a lecture on economics, we want a less fucked esports schedule.

>Muh literal who vs literal who match
Nobody cares about it

spirit vessels second effect is also the reverse of the first

raindrops do literally fuck all against zeus during laning since every single arc lightning will burn a charge, I agree about wand though.

when did everything start going wrong for reddit's guy poopoodoo?

She's next in line for losing a passive in exchange for another spell, right?

What will it be?

There is no way they are getting rid of moon glaive,so it's gonna be the night vision one

Thanks for telling us that. We never would have been able to figure that out on our own.

Thanks for adding so much to the conversation by being a sarcastic ass,sarcasm is totally not overdone to appear more "witty" and cool then you actually are and you certainty don't look like an obnoxious autist by being an ass for no real reason

This one is well done.

Where's the template for these?

It's great on heroes that NEED to get their big spell of win teamfight off like Brew or heroes that contribute heavily defensively like Omni.

20min til weeb vs rapist

The fuck is with this zues fucking circle of stuns?
It has to be the most annoying thing I have ever seen in this game.
Worse than fucking disjointed zip zap.

Our weeb got this right?

Been in the game since 7.00 bro.

>get called a 3k retard (despite having my 4,2k mmr showing on profile)
>guy who called me 3k retard has 3,9k mmr, 4k ranked games with whopping 50,04% winrate
??

someone post mushi in tb reflection, weeb is going to get destroyed

>time to end it all
What did BurningSylarJamma mean by this?

"Garter" aka Ylli Ramadani is making bombs in his house, they're going to perform a terrorist attack on a public venue in the name of Allah.

REACTIONS TO DARK WILLOW

What should be happening:
>Terrorize and Bramble Maze can keep an entire team disabled for over seven seconds and Cursed Crown has a 1/3 stun uptime
>damn, that's a lot of crowd control. if only she did more damage...
>Bedlam can deal nearly a thousand damage at level 1 before counting magic resistance
>HOLY SHIT! but this doesn't scale into the late game...
>1.3 base attack time and a +200 attack speed talent at max level
>that's pretty great, but not enough to play carry or mid. too bad she's not more durable...
>Shadow Realm makes you untargetable, disjoints projectiles, isn't broken by items or spells and can't be dispelled
>fucking awesome! an offlane ganker that isn't useless after thirty minutes!
>score: 12/2/23

What is actually happening:
>enemies cannot auto attack you during Shadow Realm
>f-free Ghost Scepter?
>that's right, FREE Ghost Scepter!
>...
>score: 1/15/4

prove me wrong

Where is fnatic stream?

>Willow
>Offlane

>2 man stack complaining about lag and missing everything
>open console and check status
>both at 300ms
>lose
>wait 10 minutes
>queue
>get the same stack again

This matchmaking is too fucking cheeky for me

>raindrops
So like, it fucks him hard by "wasting" 400 of his mana?

is checking other people ping just 'status' in console

yes

>tfw I'm stuck deciding between mongol teammates ignoring and feeding a Sniper or getting assblasted by some invoker spamming all his AoE

MORE BANS WHEN????

reporting someone because they made your ass hurt as an opponent is cuck tier

>wake up
>EE is getting stomped

>what is actually happening

Willow explodes in every fight cause your team is ignoring the backline damage and you're getting ripped the fuck up cause you have to be in frontliner range to be useful since 2-3 empowered autos per fight isn't a good enough contribution.

Why does Willow have such limp dick range on her EVERYTHING as such a squishy hero.

>wake up
>EE gets a triple kill and has the same NW as the enemy tinker

Theres literally NOTHING wrong with going drums on weaver

I meant hero bans you third worlder.

Like every nomination should be a ban.

>limp dick
Mireska is HARD

I haven't lost as willow yet after 8 games. I think players are focusing to much on her 2nd skill which is real fucking terrible. You'd want to use your stun and Q then stay the fuck back , then when your team starts running them over then that's when you should go in and use your witch doctor ult thingy.

Her skill range is so fuck huge you shouldn't die ever during a teamfight.

>5s slark ultimate on 12s cooldown
>3 CC spells
Yeah, she really has problems staying alive if she ever gets close

EE turning the game on his own

up until the AoE assblasting that is EVERY fight breaks out and you've suddenly crumpled up and died cause Sniper caked a 2 mile radius in fucking Shrapnels or you die to stray AoE from literally EVERYONE ELSE for trying to use Bedlam and actually auto people and get in range to use Crown.

>Right in the nig of time
What did the caster mean by this?

>first pick random clinkz
>team picks offlane lc, mid lina and safelane slark on top of that, leaving me without lane
>go cliffjungle and be extremely underfarmed
>"gg report this retard first pick jungle wtf"

Mason's tiny btfo peter's stack. It was glorious

timetravelling niggers

>get queued with Day9 a couple times when I'm still stuck at 3k
>3.6k now
>go check out his stream wondering if I can queue into him again on stream because memes
>he's still 2.9k

what the fuck it's like he hit a wall the moment he neared 3k, didn't he climb from 2.4k?

>Her only reliable stun being Crown having range

You put my sides into orbit with that one. About as much range as Sniper's tiny limp dick user.

>acting like she doesn't get fucking gaped for trying to get into range to use Crown since no fucking mong is going to stand in Bramble without Crown stun.

Yeah it's pretty funny how faggots here in /d2g/ can't play dota at all LMAO. Really put dem sides in orbit xddd

all situational. I go veil kaya blink maelstrom mkb bkb most games

umm sweety i meant to say that Mireska has a hard appendage ok please dont be upset hun

Can you thumbs up my Dota screenshot please

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1198971541

ME ON THE LEFT FINISHING ON THAT SWEET GINGER FACE!

more of this pls!

so this is the power of PPD...........
wow..............

>Pangolier gets a stack of shield crash buff for every Meepo he hits
lmao I had almost 80% reduced damage in every teamfight I used it

I should play her more but she's so boring.

>wh*Te dota
