Christopher Jackson
Just carried a 1v5 with 3 people who gave up early and an SB who stole a ton of my kills with his ult So fucking awesome, I can't believe I did it What did you do today /d2g/
Lost a match earlier and took a break. About to go into the trench again.

>Play axe vs slark trilane >Feed 6 times getting only 3 kills on the supports >"Ez off" >Retreat to jungle and recover slightly >Game going badly >Eventually get blademail blink >Slark kill himself trying to solo me lmao >Their team groups as 5 and i blink call them twice in a team fight killing all of them >Spam "?" for a minute straight saying EZ slark >Win the game
he changed it way before the big wave of demonetization that hit not too long ago, but he did mention that his account had strikes on it for bullying/harrassment
he said he realized he was actually making the dota community worse so he retired the persona, but really he was just pissing into an ocean of piss.
he changed because he knew in the long run leddit would never accept toxicity. and dota2 is a reddit game

>its only dying on the weekends >three months of straight losses, will go into a fourth
hope you're ready for the game hitting 2014 levels
Christopher Ramirez
ult illusions are now untargetable
Ryder Russell
I reread it twice and I have no idea what the fuck he's saying. Guess I'm a brainlet.
Easton Nguyen
>at 2014 levels of playerbase >trend of losing player since 2016 Delusional
Camden Morris
>every EU qualifier is OG stomping memestacks because Secret and Liquid are invited to everything
it wasn't supposed to be like this when is mouz making a comeback
Blake Flores
>its only dying on the weekends no i was suggesting that comparing midweek numbers to the weekend is silly. should be obvious why >three months of straight losses, will go into a fourth this is what happens when you turn off free hats if that is true, you can explain why the ranked is being played more than ever
Michael King
>They're quiting because they're bots
simply epic
Cooper Turner
yes user, when gaben made dota unprofitable to farm hats, those users took their business elsewhere can you refute that statement?
Brandon Taylor
what did he do??
Elijah Thompson
>game count goes down for two months straight >Game count goes up for events that give out unmarketable hats see; 2017 frostivus >game count starts going down when it ends
so do bots bot unmarketable hats?
Aiden Gomez
It will be more fun when Secret will stop getting invites.
Evan Hughes
thats the lowest 24 hour peak in years isnt it? more great reddit ideas adding freshness and hype to this game
Jayden Baker
they won a major like 3 month ago they wont stop getting invites anytime soon
Caleb Lee
nothing that he hasn't done already they championed him for a week for standing up to ESL then turned on him after they could no longer tolerate him being "toxic"
John Ramirez
dota classic when
Carter Hughes
>game count goes down for two months straight yes, then valve released two new heroes and additional content which convinced 20k people to reinstall/play >Game count goes up for events that give out unmarketable hats see; 2017 frostivus correct, gaben issued a free hat event and the population grew by 20k >so do bots bot unmarketable hats? this is the point you're missing, the botters have already left, they arent returning if the free hat events arent profitable which is why we see such small increases now from events are released. compare that to the hat event of new bloom 2016 when the numbers increased by 100k after china turned all their efforts to farming the hats
compared to the last 6-12 months yes compared to the peaks/averages between 2015 and 2016 no. botting was already rampant in 2014, if you are only approaching those average than the game has more humans playing than ever, which is reflected in the increase time spent playing ranked

>axe cut the safelane wave & I still had a good time due to acid spray & greevil's greed
Samuel Martinez
>whats wrong with this guy? defending the game is something I take pride in >he is a valve employee label me whatever you want
they have no choice but to make it paid because they ruined the treasures, compendiums, trading, gifting, and everyone else that made them money by following reddit ideas. the core issue is that they keep ruining the game by following reddit advice.
Just imagine being a chain-feeding piece of shit with 0 map orientation who thinks he's entitled to receive commends every game because he placed one piece of shit ward every minute. It's the carry's fault, it always is, you bought 3-4 wards, you did your job, fucking carries. Am I right guys?
Bentley Gomez
Can someone help a retard out? How do I bind a key so it says /thanks or /laugh in chat?
Jason Hall
if the changes to the gameplay is what has "killed" dota why havent we seen a resurgence of people playing on the wc3 client, where you can choose exactly what patch you want
Levi Hill
twitch .tv/beyondthesummit3 Synd's new team are playing
because Warcraft 3 Dota is fucking garbage where you cant even reconnect or have matchmaking, we need 6.87 Dota 2
Isaiah Clark
but the gameplay is supposedly what the community wants wouldnt the community choose to have the gameplay they want over what valve is offering?
Alexander Thomas
fuck off autistic "venezuela" spammer, your question has been answered numerous times
Oliver Collins
are the biweekly hero quests the same for everyone or does everyone get a random set?
because it would explain why i've had so many fucking techies in my games lately, the three biweekly quests i've got for him are ez pz
Hudson Torres
but i just woke up now and im the guy who exposed the venezuelan people just have to understand that there are: a)people who come here who still play the game and enjoy it b)people who come here, don't play the game, and have such an insignificant lives that they consider posting "lmao dead game" several hours a day, every day, "fun" c)people who legitimatly like dota and hate "dota 7.00" and have real, articulated points, to why they dislike where dota is going/went personally i like dota, but i liked 6.88c more than this. the venezuelan is a legit suicidal b) person.
obviously you have failed to answer the question if gameplay is what has killed dota2, surely being able to choose exactly what gameplay you want would be alive
Carson Jones
you don't get lp from 1 match >reported in 2 matches by 4 different parties learn to read brainlet
remember when this guy was actually good at the game? now there's 50 earth spirits that can play at his level and he's avg.
Thomas Butler
>wouldnt the community choose to have the gameplay they want over what valve is offering? theres no counter offer w3 dota is dead
Robert Ross
I didn't think anyone could have a smaller hero pool than Bulldog, but it's this guy. Him and s4 have been really shit lately. n0tail is honestly carrying them. I say this as an OG fan.
Juan Fisher
>he doesnt know how to euthanize a match subtly so that he doesnt get low prio
Jaxson Collins
>enemy first pick slark >pick underlord >slap his shit under tower with a cheeky spirit breaker 4 minute in >he's still lvl 5 10 minute in because his support is weak and i can deny everything with base damage + atrophy
Underlord is such a fun piece of shit, i love him
Liam Moore
tbf dumbing down earth spirits play to the levels we have today had a lot to do with that observation
Daniel Cruz
>first teammate first picks SF >second teammate immediately picks Zeus and starts to trashtalk SF - "You fucking first pick SF you weeb? (SF had some anime avatar) Let's see you lasthit" >Follows him all game denying him farm whenever he can "Are you having fun first pick SF weeb?" says like 100 times in voice chat >Tell him to shut the fuck up and that he's going to get reported >He starts to buy gems and tomes whenever they are available and feeds them to enemy >Also feeds courier kills >SF disconnects around 43 minute >Me, sven and gyro with rapier fail to destroy their base in last effort push >gg wp, I fucking hate this game Well at least I got "we took an action after your last report" message.
and yet we have a general dedicated to a "dead" version of wow
Connor Butler
yes i blogged about it my offlane underlord started crying about enemy trilane and came to our safelane as 4th hero 1 minute in to the game he was literal archon queuing with his divine 4 buddy
