reminder to make crystalis first item on WK

guys how do i not fuck up winter's curse?

i think i hold on too it for too long because i want to get too many heroes in it/i feel like i might fuck up some dps coming out from my teammates

t. 3k position 5

>unranked
>5 ancient 0-2's and 5 smurfs
>i win smurf dazzle/wk dual lane with a fucking solo am
why do 2k's bother with smurfing again

>because i want to get too many heroes
Don't.
IF you dont want to fuck it up, then you need two things for a safe winter curse: dagger and learn to measure damage.

If a support is next to, lets say, a juggernaut it's pretty clear that it will kill the support
but if you ult lets say a jugg with 3 other heroes that dont right click, then it's shit
It's all about measuring damage

And dagger it's just to be in position when the opportunity appears since it's usually seconds for the perfect ult.

i sometimes just use in on solitary targets just to hold them out of teamfight for a few crucial seconds
i would be very careful throwing it in 3k games since my teammates probably wont fully understand it

discord ? are you kidding me

Reminder that Underlord is the THICCEST hero in Dota 2

and yet the mod deleted the other thread (bot that it was any better)

That's not Earthshaker

how would an echo slam celebration for blake martinez even work? his teammates surround him and fall over when he spikes the ball?

NA will win TI8

SCREENSHOT THIS

dont fall for this obvious falseflagging

WRONG! THE THICCEST HERO IN DOTA 2 IS MEDUSA! DELETE YOUR POSTS NOW!

>someone paid for this

Someone please post the league to protect and heal tribunal ban thing

:sick:

dude delete this and tweet at him that you'll sell him an idea

Shiva's Guard cosmetic for Timbersaw when

who?

>its ANOTHER lost at the draft screen game

my favorite

you know what must be done user

maaaaaatch euthanasiaaaa~

Ice shoulder hat for rumble when

sometimes its the only way

i'm more of the 'buy a shadow amulet and sit on a bounty rune' kind of guy

for me its, tilting my team mates in chat and letting them euthanize the match for me

You're both horrible people

hey man

its not my fault people can't do the simple task of choosing the appropriate hero for the situation

i'm not asking for full blown counter picks, but i'm sure as fuck not asking for a player to last pick doom against a line up like LC, SF, meepo, bounty hero and lion

especially when they dumb nigger decides to come to your offlane and take your last hits

>Euthanize match
>Behavior score drops to F
>Now losing every game because some toddler gets angry and feeds down mid
Fucking valve

Is meteor hammer Invoker viable /d2g/?

>Behavior system puts Autismo-Maximus where he belongs

Thanks Valve

yes

>Euthanize match
well deserved tqbhfam

>Channeling meteor hammer when you should be casting more spells

my behavior rating is actually normal i generally get as many commends as i get reports

i just can't put up with having to fucking babysit some nigger who's got as many hours/matches or more than me

its why i gave up entirely on supporting safelane and only player roaming or offlane

its hilarious how bad people are at initiating.

Are there any heroes that can actually make solid use of Octameme Core? (Aside from Techies and an Invoker taking Adderall). It just seems like, despite how enticing all the stats are, every hero in the game seems to be lacking at least one aspect needed to take full advantage of it.

>Can't use Culling Blade like a quelling blade

Enigma

Your whole hero is Black Hole and the additional CDR ensures really consistent uptime on it.

Also Bristle is pretty disgusting with it, it makes Quill Spray turbo AIDS.

bristle with it and the fucking 25 talent sometimes feels fucking invincible

try that again

its also good on jakiro

>solo unranked filled with smurfs
>solo ranked is like 2k mmr behind my party/true mmr
literally unplayable alone

if your party mmr represents your true level of skill then you should have no problem climbing mmr solo considering the discrepancy you described
but its more likely your fellow queuers are carrying you and you are right where you belong my frogposting friend

Remember to cheer for Pain Gaming at Galaxy battles. /ourguy/ w33 is standing in against OG who have a frog and khezu as standins.

Enchantress or Puck? This is important.

dumb frogposter

Someone please help
I played dota 2 years ago, who was the weird player that used to come up with weird strats that were nearly all stupid and bullshit but would occasionally actually work

There was an australian dude that did commentary of his WC3 cannon tower rush and it was the funniest shit, he'd describe every play as "SO GOSU"

I THINK his name was 2 words. Not sure though. He used to be a meme here

Opinion post, include rank

its user, dont lie

abilities you believe are cancer. doesn't matter if its op or just annoying, maybe it sets precedent for design

shadow shaman as a whole

rot

claniraq?

YES thank you user

But oh damn its pretty fucking dead in here. What happened

tribe_tadjikistan?

>What happened
7.0
Discord shills

It's a school day
>implying

Any skill which changes how the game is played too much. eg. brood webs and relocate

Arcane rune also needs to go or not be able to spawn before 20 minutes, it's hearthstone-tier RNG.

t.divine2

Dead fucking game

>Muh boogeymen
This claim literally hasn't changed since 2011
>6.70 killed Dota
>IRC shills

Slarks Dark Pact should have charges.

No, 7.0 increased the burden of knowledge massively which isn't great for bring new players in, which dota already has lots of problems with.

>IRC
no idea what that is

>The people that cry discord boogeyman are so new they don't even know what its predecessor was

ancient 2

Whatever gramps, go back to wc3.

>no idea what that is
Actually ruffled my feathers a bit

discord is a cancer and the fact that this thread exists shows we have become powerless to stop its spread

im definitely getting too old for Veeky Forums

You realize it has been the exact same shit for years now with IRC and you're only crying now because you're a newfag.

>IRC and Voice chat
>admin access and free to make cannels
>its free
>but its cancer

why?

literally all of Veeky Forums have discord channels

would you prefer team speak?

>let's use this discord that is owned by this other general
>what could go wrong
What's is the point of having a general if you are going to use discord anyway?

>Other generals do it so it's bad
Veeky Forums contrarianism in action.

>newfag
im well aware of what IRC is and you dont see an irc in the op
meanwhile discord....

>be dota
>post shyvana and annie

Annie May*

nice.

because its a different type of interface

one allows people from the threads to play together/talk shit in person

the other is a slower kind with messages, you can also make Veeky Forums body pastas in the pinned messages

id prefer if people use a subreddit since they feel the need to identify themselves
/d2g/ can be held to a higher standard than other generals

>Other generals play their game with each other
>Therefore it is bad and /d2g/ should not do this

you are fucking stupid

however relevant anonymity may be, it isn't lost. You are moving to a different interface that can be used simultaneous with the other.

you may choose to just NOT use it

and if you prefer, hold yourself to a higher standard and dont start up a shit storm if people in this thread wish to use it

>All this shitposting and nobody noticed that the link has been a 404 for days
I love /d2g/

>redeye: get me out

You're still here. That link is from from being the issue.

>Other generals play their game with each other
>Therefore it is good and /d2g/ should do this
i didnt start up the shit storm
see because of the anonymity i am able to join a discussion whenever i choose and make my opinion heard

>Playing the video game your general is about is bad

>TINKER

I FUCKING HATE THESE NIGGERS
