He is truly a god.

This guy's asspain is literally off the fucking scales.

But Gaben cucked him with a fat cock so there's nothing he can do.

Did clq change his personality to circumvent youtube demonetization

>scare off new players with subscription
DEAD GAME

Attached: dead.png (728x492, 106K)

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.

dispersion from 10/14/18/22 to 10/15/20/25

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

ult illusions are now untargetable

I reread it twice and I have no idea what the fuck he's saying. Guess I'm a brainlet.

>at 2014 levels of playerbase
>trend of losing player since 2016
Delusional

>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

>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

>They're quiting because they're bots

simply epic

yes user, when gaben made dota unprofitable to farm hats, those users took their business elsewhere
can you refute that statement?

what did he do??

>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?

It will be more fun when Secret will stop getting invites.

thats the lowest 24 hour peak in years isnt it? more great reddit ideas adding freshness and hype to this game

they won a major like 3 month ago
they wont stop getting invites anytime soon

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"

dota classic when

>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

so were losing real players, not botters

whats wrong with this guy?

he is a valve employee

Attached: index.jpg (220x229, 8K)

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

what an imsufferable faggot, literally "reddit, the man"

That's actually really smart dude, great idea.

>someone saved my image
nice

I don't understand the dilemma here, why would you just not hit attract new players?

Attached: 1496371952161.png (732x720, 623K)

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.

Attached: 1505923027400.png (592x888, 546K)

you get no paid tutorial

Boy oh boy supports really are harder to play.

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?

Can someone help a retard out? How do I bind a key so it says /thanks or /laugh in chat?

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

what if you just release a battle pass??

because w3 is dead

Laughing - bind [your key] "say /laugh"
Thanking - bind [your key] "say /thanks"

because Warcraft 3 Dota is fucking garbage where you cant even reconnect or have matchmaking, we need 6.87 Dota 2

but the gameplay is supposedly what the community wants
wouldnt the community choose to have the gameplay they want over what valve is offering?

fuck off autistic "venezuela" spammer, your question has been answered numerous times

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

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

you don't get lp from 1 match

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.

>wouldnt the community choose to have the gameplay they want over what valve is offering?
theres no counter offer w3 dota is dead

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.

>he doesnt know how to euthanize a match subtly so that he doesnt get low prio

>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

tbf dumbing down earth spirits play to the levels we have today had a lot to do with that observation

>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

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
