Some Frequently Asked Questions about iraqianism

>Who is clan_iraq?
Virtually all scholars agree a historical clan_iraq existed, as evidenced by his many playdota posts as well as recorded dotabuffs, including high profile games where he squared off against some of his bigger rivals (such as dotabuff.com/matches/160334439 )

however where acolytes and atheists diverge on the issue is the existence of a metaphorical clan_iraq, an entity which in geneal motivates, encourages, and supports all innovative and novel builds and theorycrafting, and to whom such things may be ascribed.

>What are acolytes
Acolytes are believers and subscribers to the central tenants and philosophy of clan_iraq

>What do acolytes believe about MMR grinding?
Such behavior is a trap of wordly desires. It is nothing more than empty hedonism and subservience to the rigid shakles of the meta. MMR Addicts get a cheap high the first few times, but quickly develop a tolerance to it, and require higher and higher doses of MMR and MMR Shitposting to get the same "high"

>What do acolytes persue instead?
Acolytes believe the "The Pen Is Mighter Than The Sword". Dota2 is a video game, meaning it exists for your own entertainment and nothing more.

It is better to innovate, create novel builds, and have fun, than to play the same thing over and over

>How does this "jive" with Veeky Forums?
Veeky Forums is built around anonymous culture, contrarianism, and optimal mathematically defined efficiency and superiority, three key tenants to iraqianism.

we are all clan_iraq, and we always seek new ways to forge the meta and point out quantifiably bad and suboptimal builds, tactics, and strategies.

actually invest time to thinking about what your doing during your games, ez +mmr no idle time, carry a tp, spam heroes at the top wr of ur bracket meta and read about why they are top tier atm

or just spam pngolier

not 100%, enjoy your gamble game. :)

>roaming kunkka
>mid lina

when do i get teammates whose draft knowledge isn't like 4 years old

goto the casino, win 90% of the time and tell me what the outcome is

roaming kunkka is still legit

He should git gud but the climb is still a slog unless said smurf's actual account is on the leaderboard. The difference between 2k and 4k is only moderate these days.

>solo offlane necro
>mid jakiro
>techies

so when do my teammates just stop being retarded

Do assassins like headpats?

Win a big sum, lose a big sum.
Thats what it is 10% gamble. Get owned.

t. never entered a gambling institute

Doesn't understand %.
Even boosters can't win 100% cus its a gamble, sometimes u get shittier teammates and enemy got better teammates and they win, thats just how it is. This what my 6k friend told me who currently boosted from 3k to 4k he says after a while you have no effect on the game and it just a gamble.

What did Vega mean by this Lifestealer pick? No good ult targets, not exactly amazing against Lycan and Gyro, I don't get it.

>boosted from 3k to 4k
that called just playing dota

Earth Spirit is fine for infest

didnt see draft but im guessing its just a comfort pick they picked relatively early because its decent in most games

>Doesn't understand %.
lol @ the hypocrisy
winning ninety percent of the time isnt a gamble, you are guaranteed to be winning more than you lose
>This what my 6k friend told me who currently boosted from 3k to 4k he says after a while you have no effect on the game and it just a gamble.
thats because ur 6k friend is really just a shitter who mained an op hero to his rank instead of gittin gud at the game

>play dota2
>lose
dotards

Anything that is less than 100% is a gamble, since you don't know the outcome, you can play 100% but if your team is shit then you lose. This is why it's a team game and this is why you don't see Ronaldo or Messi in a shitclass club but they are playing with good players themselves.

why is it in a roster of 100 heroes only like 20 are viable?

Because balancing a game is hard and takes a long time. The patch right before 7.0 was incredibly balanced and the majority of heroes were viable.

>DKPhobos solo winning offlane
how the fuck are they letting him get away with this?

>changing numbers is hard
nigger, it should take like a week max to push out balance patches. You don't even need to test most of them, most problems are literally just a numbers problem.

Puck and Dark Willow (mid) are the only heroes I can play well. Should I kill myself or embrace the fairy faggotry?

Practice other heroes.

nnot that guy but i dont understand your point anymore, arguing what is and isnt a gamble is just semantics when you were talking about how fast a guy on a smurf can climb

Lycan will just run Vega down and they won't be able to stop it.

this statement is completely false

then why is it true?

Is Team Spirit the only 100% weeb team?

Attached: 1510456123514.jpg (1800x1800, 1.83M)

My point is that you don't have 100% control over your games as it is a team game and heavily relies on others, the get good meme has to go because you can be good if your team is shit you will lose.

remember when d2g was full of people and not me constantly talking to myself

there's nothing wrong with playing good heroes, user

You can get good enough to win 90% of games.
That you lose some games literally doesn't matter.

>oh no i lost a game how will i recover
man i dont wanna be around you irl

what are the best offlane heroes for assuring the enemy carry is going to have a bad time?

Attached: 1510180310668.png (600x600, 57K)

say that its true doesnt make it true retardbro

Attached: dreamleague.png (287x607, 111K)

b-but its still a GAMBLE *cries*

user, posting this image for ants doesn't make what I said any less true

Depends on the enemy carry. How do you solo win a lane against Huskar for example?

>1/10 lion and 1/15 bara complain about no items on mid

Attached: 1515277022289.png (543x443, 24K)

b-but muh tournament prizepool!

It doesn't matter what you think, it's still 10% of you not winning despite being good. BECUASE youR TEAM DOES MATTER and you can't disprove my point and who you get with is a gamble. There is a reason why Arteezy rages on his pubmates, BECAUSE THEY DO MATTER, ITS NOT JUST HIM. Get good faggots.

provide the list of 20 "viable" heroes then user and make a real argument out of this

meant to quote

>win 90% of the time
>you still arent good cause you lost once every ten games
imagine thinking this way

>Our guy Illidan losing

Attached: 1492140019965.png (374x365, 173K)

the problem with balancing is that changing one hero's numbers often effects heroes that it counters or heroes that counter it

also, feeling the effects of these number changes doesnt happen instantly

pls post more cute/lewd doujin!

Attached: cm super cute.jpg (585x768, 132K)

well this is the core issue of the game, heroes should never hard counter each other because that removes skill from the game, if we moved more towards item balance than hero balance then these things wouldn't happen

>heroes should never hard counter each other because that removes skill from the game
just go play league if you feel this way

Illidan should learn how to play Lycan from EE

OG who?

>heroes should never hard counter each other

nobody designs heroes to be a hard counter to another, its just the design of certain heroes can counter others. if you dont want any counters, then you dont want innovative hero designs

What to do?

How can Fear and Universe still play Dota2 knowing they are old?????

this
homogenized heroes just leaves for a bland hero pool that may as well be shrunk to the separate arch-types

>How can Fear and Universe still play Dota2 knowing they are old?????
they made a career out of it, and through their efforts created a pool of wealth they can live comfortably on the rest of their lives

been spamming pango offlane for a few days, good hero
but i think he is terrible against ranged heroes like gyro and morphling
LS is the easiest lane opponent

heroes hard countering each other would be an aspect of league type design not DotA type design....

what?
league's viable heroes are basic carbon copies of each other
how the fuck is counterpicking even a thing is league

the more similiar two heroes kit are, the more notable each advantage one has over the other becomes

It's opposite day I see.

this is the better thing to post
