You know this is either going to turn into a shitpost fest or a porn thread.

Just quit while you can like I did, bros.

...

This game and its fans are just like WoW. Undeniably worse than it was years ago, but the fans make excuses for the dumbing down of the game because it helps bring in new players, yet the only people that play are the same fat nerds that have been playing it for years.

You're just asking to be shitposted to death. Posting really hot porn

SHADOW SHAMAN:
Base armor increased by 1
Base attack range reduced from 500 to 400
Base attack damage increased by 18

...

...

After 7.00 nobody can defend this piece of garbage anymore. Not even the worst redditor.

Dubs2 thread.
Juggernaut Bateman edition.

...

I like 7.00, it actually got me playing again

It worked once, we got 320 replies in this dota thread, let's see how long this one lasts archive.is/wtTjO
I personally would quit Dota 2 too if I wasn't so badly addicted to it. Yes it gets worse with every patch, and yes the community is total trash, but what can I say?

Anyway, not everything about Dota is bad. It is for example the number 1 red pilling game regarding race. Without games like dota or cs:go people wouldn't realize how brain damaged eastern Europeans and Arabs are.

Dubs

...

Is there a nohats fix or equivalent yet? I can't tolerate he fucking particle overloads and random hero colour pallets/outlines, and they've only gotten worse since nohats broke.

even if there was one, Valve disabled custom mods. Also Valve is highly against this. They do have the tech to do it but they are removing it on purpose. They added it in Left 4 Dead 2, they could have added it to cs:go too but they decided not to, and we all know why.

All this asian shit is weird to be honest.

I main Tracer, who wants to play??? :)

I main bastion

every person i've meet that weeps and whines about DotA was too thin skinned to handle losing and "toxic players"
all the "I don't belong at this MMR" types. like the soft kid that throws your controller against the wall and never wants to hear about that game again.

She doesn't you fucking faggot go kill yourself.

Your waifu a whore m8

Check out the last thread. Most of those anti dota guys are just noobs who never play multiplayer games. They are insecure noobs who get dominated in every online game so they stick to single player only.

Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with playing a good single player game, but if you are so god damn retarded that you have to dodge every multiplayer game you should not share your opinion online.

Ok I keep the thread bumped then until 300 replies good job.

The reason I don't like it is because most people don't play it for joy but simply addiction, retards like is a good example

I believe it's because they're competitive?

Please quit anons, I used to play for hundreds of hours and I stopped, so can you.

In the end of the day it is still a skill based game and nothing feels as good as raping some people and making them rage quit.

Nigger I had games in which I dominated the enemy lane so hard the enemy carry had to jungle but couldn't jungle either because I warded their entire jungle too. They die, respawn, die again and the rage quit. Best feeling ever. There are not a lot of games that let you shit on the enemy as hard as dota does.

Please stop, this is just embarrassing now.

I already said that valve made it a lot easier, but if you think the game requiriere no skill at all you should have no problem reaching 6k and more and earning some decent money in pro tournaments right?

Shrines are trash, raindrop is trash, ff is trash and those new overpowered mid game items are trash like dragon lance and echo sabre because they give you stats and another bonus. But you must keep in mind that both teams have access to those and in the end the better one will win.

If I pick huskar I can still dominate people because I am a god in armlet toggling.

Your opponents get the easier mechanics too.
So they play better and no net change in difficulty.

...

Do you play dota? If no, why are you even in this thread or talking about it's mechanics. If you did play dota, when was the last time you played it and what was your mmr back then?

This is Holla Forumss favorite game if those threads where several people shared screenshots of their Steam accounts with an average of 1.5k hours on this game was anything to go by.

stay on topic mate. You say you don't want to learn the game which means you don't know much about it. This either means you talk about something that you don't know or you talk about something you suck at. Which is it?

Then go on and explain this to me
X takes skill but you don't want to learn it because you are (according to you) not autistic.

yeah about that…

Ever notice how this only happens in certain game's threads?

Time for you to fuck off back to cuckchan, faggot.

lol thread went from 54 down to 26 replies. Also it was not posts critical of the game, my posts are still here. Mods deleted off topic bullshit and people trying to derail the thread.

who the fuck is sangria

A new Dota2 character

...

Hahahahaha fuck off. Even though you deleted the evidence. Anyone who actually saw my posts know that I actually made intelligent replies and only made fun of the retarded shitposter/baiting fanboy when it was necessary. The only reason the posts were deleted is because Sangria can't handle negative intelligent discussion of the game because "MUH FEVRIT VIDEOGEM IS SACRED". You can still see the replies to my post though, which reveal that that was the shitposter all along and that every action taken was retarded and only because Sangria can't handle negativity towards DotA2.

Get fucked Sangria.

sangria is one of the mods or admins, he is the one who cleaned this thread up.
8ch.net/log.php?page=1&board=v

Mark's waifu

Hello Sangria.

...

Proving my point.

Hahaha what kind of brain disorder do you have since you think only blind worship should be allowed to be posted?

Just makes me hate DOTA niggers more.

First thing I see when I come in this thread is a string of shitposting greentext about how OP wants to talk about dota, you can't deny that. Go shit up some other board with your autism.

I'm envious of the shitposters ability to post multiple times in the span of mere seconds.

I always wanted to do the same and elevate my shitposting to the next level, but alas, I am just a rube in the Way of Shit.

And we know your personal first impression is the only one that matters.
Was literally discussing the negative development of the game and the falling player base, but good on you for being an ignorant bigot.

Lol at the weak shitposting excuse. Is not shitposting, or is it ok because it happens to be in support of the game that the vol totally doesn't like. This is such a weak excuse it's not even funny. Not to mention that this kind of shit goes on all the time in other threads, why don't the vols heavy handedly delete everything then? fo4 is a shit game, but it's general was full of shit worse than what supposedly needed to be deleted here (multiple people literally spamming the same image, that kind of stuff), yet the vols didn't feel the need to step in. The Doom general always has some unfunny faggot who tries to derail the thread with shitposts about how everyone is jealous of SGT Mark, vols don't do shit then either. Even so much as insult someone (something that has been done on imageboards since forever) in an Overwatch or Dota2 thread and watch vols fly in to obsessively nuke everything. As I said above, there are still shitposts in this very thread, why are they still here if this is the reason (and they all just happen to support the game)? Shitposting does not mean not liking the game, and derailing does not mean that the focus has been taken off of obsessively sucking the game's cock.

If the vols want to sit and and monitor threads of games they happen to like so the can nuke any criticism, they absolutely deserve to have to sit and clean up spam. Give them a reason to do what they do.

On a more on topic note, I haven't played Dota in forever, and don't plan to, but good lord, that Jugg arcana is shit.
Like, for a company that used to put so much thought into the ability to make character distinct at a glance, you'd think they'd realize that making a cosmetic do a complete 180 on a character's general color scheme is a bad idea. He looks like motherfucking spirit breaker at a glance.

Kek

You are literally being a jew right now, being cancer and then crying crocodile tears when mod action is taken against you. Drop the act, I didn't even your shit past "shitposting excuse". You were shitposting, not even in the spirit of discussing video games, just trying to derail the thread.

Hey look, it fits.

A blue juggernaut. Absolute trash, Valve really outdid themselves. The general look isn't good either, the effects are really trashy. You'd expect it from a Workshop submission, not official Valve hats. Then again, it's probably workshop.

...

oyy, they released it today, and the entire time I am sitting here trying to remember what that arcana looked like. Just checked it out in game and yes it really is weird. I'd say it doesn't fits his theme and his healing ward didn't even get changed and looks out of place compared to the rest of the set. I was also disappointing to see that his color doesn't change, I would rather like him red or green or something like that.

None of the posts I made talking about the game were saging the thread you fucking retard. I made like two sage posts saying "GALKO IS PURE" and >>12144565 AND THAT'S IT. Fuck off bigot.

Doing god's work, m8.

cm looks like a old ass porn start with those pigtails and that cleavage

Fuck off Sangria

Thread's been up for nearly three hours and the most anyone's talked about is how shit the new cosmetic is and a copy/paste of what the patch did to SS.

Because anyone discussing the game gets their posts deleted as soon as Sangria detects anything that isn't mindless praise. No matter how intelligently worded those posts were.

Typical tricks schlomo.

I guess I should have written
Since Sangria stopped deleting ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVERYTHING that wasn't mindless praise. But the damage is done.

Anyway get the fuck out, bigot.

How about jakiro

Do you want to lick my anus?

half of your posts were slight variations on "let the butthurt flow".

What else is there to talk about? Most of the other shit has already been destroyed or nerfed. Before 7.00 Huskar could solo rosh with armlet only, even without lifesteal or anything, new rosh pit doesn't allow it anymore. Brood jungle was op, you could rush a 15 minute Dagon 5 and one shot almost all heroes on the map, but the new jungle ruined that too and the public didn't even catch on that one yet. What else is there to talk about? I think Valve is finally nerfing those new early/mid game items.

Every patch makes me hate this game more, I love my games glitchy and with exploits that make certain things op.
you are the one who said he is not autistic? You sure are very obsessive. What are you even trying to accomplish? It takes a second for me to filter you.

That was the appeal of dota, I guess all those gorillions of dollars in TI didn't show that we actually liked it the way it was. I am all for constant change and adaptation, but 7.0 was radical.

Hahaha what is this, Sangria+Fanclub? I thought you filtered me earlier. My ID didn't change. Guess you are a filthy liar too on top of everything else.

I'd say he is better, but in the end of the day still freaking ugly. Why can't Valve just hire a third party company to re model all those heroes? It's not like they don't have the money or something.

I don't know. I'd say its just not a particularly remarkable patch. The grand majority is just slight adjustments to talents, slight stat/cost changes in items, the jugg arcana and the new jakiro model, and then maybe a few weird things like the no CD SS or moonshard being usable on allies.
There are the general changes that seem to want early game to last longer and to have less gold to throw around in that time, but I'm an idiot who doesn't even play this game anymore, so I'm probably missing the full implications of everything.


The new Jak model is pretty good.

You mean reddit's.

Lurk more.

How is that different from every other thread here?

lurk more

All I see is shit posting and porn

lurk more

this

threads about any game will slow down when theres nothing left to learn or discover.
some threads are mostly left alone except for the people that play the game and last for a week+

What a waste of trips.

I dont know if it was intentional but nice wordplay

I was joking but Dota and Overwatch threads do bring out the worst in people here. But back on topic so Pudge can't hook invulnerable units anymore. Why?

Yeah, that principle went out of the window some time ago already.
I still remember how I once mistook Drow for PA or PA for Drow and shit just got worse.
Thankfully 7.00 managed to cure me from it.

...

...

What the fuck is with the retarded vols we have here? Did that fucking idiot Sangria actually think he could force consensus in a thread without people getting pissed. I swear to god our vols are absolutely fucking retarded.

I better watch out, though, I'm saging and not polishing the knob of this game. I obviously have some sort of nefarious scheme going on.

Why the fuck did they make the arcana blue? Who thought giving Juggernaut that kind of colour palette made sense? Shit, what would've been so hard about make it, say, a dark shade of orange or orange-red?

by invulnerable do you mean disjointed as in euls or phase shift?

Nice conspiracy theory you have going on there.

Lime and Sangria should be gassed

Patch notes said invulnerable haven't tested it out. I'm guessing it means BKB

They should just remove this stupid fountains or make enemy team "disrupt" healing.

>HoN best moba
tbh

DotA 2 is HoN+.

TECHIES NERFEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD AGGGGAAAAAAAINNNN

Not so much. They made him more defensive.

Valve literally just reused PA's arcana for Jugg. Not even meming, look at this screenshot and try to instantly pick out which is which.

Forced to be more defensive*

r8

How did you make that screenshot? Is there a way to give bots cosmetics?

102 matches? You nigger, that must be your alt acc with some kind of a mmr abuse like Zeus or Oracle. You mind sharing your dotabuff?

I didn't make it, I found it on reddit

So I don't know really.

has rubick gotten an arcana yet
im not ocming back until best hero gets cosmetics i can dispose money on

...

I guarantee that Io actually won that vote, but Valve knew it wouldnt make them much money, so they flipped it to Jugg instead. Io dreams crushed because of shitty business practices.

Lol at the fat nerds that still obsessively play this. I can just smell the cheetos and piss jars from here. How many of you have Carpal Tunnel or an RSI? I imagine the "you've played" serves as a reminder that your lives have about as much worth as the dog shit on the bottom of my shoe. I imagine you could cut the disappointment in the air with a knife when your mom comes down to bring you your supper.

...

Why did they buffed necrophos? What the fuck were they thinking? I can rush dagon in 10 min and then proceed to fuck off everyone who encounter me. Then scepter which give ulty 25 sec. WTF

...

Suicide is painless, it doesn't bring as many retarded changes as a DotA patch, though.

Fucking valve

For some reason icefrug hate techies with passion. He nerfed them several times so much they are now unplayable

Techies used to be my favorite hero to play when I wanted to just fuck around a bit. Now, you can't even do that. They are so useless now it's insane.

I play it because it's challenging; I'm compelled to try and get better at it.

Ogre magi got nerfed
Was it justified?

...

Ogre was really dominant in the last major tourney, I think he had the highest pick/ban rate out of every hero, and a really good win rate.

I can't believe how many casuals are on here, but its to be expected with so many teenagers filling up Holla Forums.

Y'know I find it rather interesting that rather interesting that the entire reason the thread is alive is because of the newfags screaming ASSFAGGOTS.
I also find it interesting that none of them seem to know the term started up in Dota threads to poke fun at Riot.

what do you currently play and what are your 5 most played games.

Majesty, Tabletop Sim, Warcraft 3, various emulated games (yugioh, wrestling, silent hill, gauntlet legends) and a browser game from my teenage years.
No go on, tell me about your extremely superior tastes in Dota 2.

...

That's some rich shit right there buddy.

as I have said here dota haters are usually people who play mostly single player games, and I was once again right. Tabletop is a decent game, but other than that you play mostly offline.

Haven't played since shortly after 7.00
:^)

mmr?

Ability Draft

you are a weird person, you have played it yourself, and also for quite some time and you call others who play it casuals?

I've been playing Dota since before The Frozen Throne was released. Dota 2 doesn't even have the same turning and kiting mechanics as Warcraft 3.

You're full of shit, no wonder you play Dota.
Stop now when you can, you will thank me later.

Dota is not a good game, it is not good for you and your "friends" relationship, it's not healthy due to the frustration you will carry on with those games meanwhile the satisfaction will be as short as you click for the next match.

I sure as hell expect the same frustration over 10 minutes of play versus 40 minutes-1hour which is what usually takes Dota to be over with.

I have played this trash of a game for a "long" time mainly because social pressure and thinking "it cannot be as bad as people say". As you would expect, those who still play it that I know of behave like drug addicts.

SUICIDE IS PAINLESS
IT BRINGS ON MANY CHANGES
AND I CAN TAKE OR LEAVE IT AS I PLEASE

Except the only difference to WC3 is how the turn rate acceleration curve is and if I'm not mistaken slight changes to how the order queue works to prevent some cases of premature accidental cancelling of spell casts while turning.

I was thought it says "dubs dilemma" for the thumbnail, so I made this.

read the earlier posts, everyone knows that dota is a trash game, but we can't stop because it is so god damn addictive. Also it does have some points that other games don't have, like being able to totally dominate your enemy. How many other games allow you to totally bully your enemies?

I feel really glad I'm not addicted to shit games

Every single game with a competitive component you drug addict.

Hows that shitty routine during and even after school of playing the same garbage for hours on end?

how comes people always say some generic bullshit like that when you ask them for a example? Name me some games. UT allows people to leave, cs:go is the same cancer (probably even worse).

...

The same can be said in Dota then, everyone is fucking free to leave it. You're pretty dense.

If you really only play Dota only to grow your balls to dominate someone, you have a problem.
If you want to dominate someone because you are truly skilled without needing to actually bully (who the fucks enjoy hitting a defenseless bastard? where's the challenge?) ANY god damn competitive multiplayer allows you to do so.

Look at those two games I posted that I played recently, one of them is a fucking moba. It contains the essence of ASSFAGGOTS without the bullshit of 1hour matches, minions, jungle, gold, gear, level, just an arena with some champions in it to fight 2v2 or 3v3. There, a game that you could enjoy that is similar to this shitfest without the cancer.

Many of my recent matches last for 30 mins since 7.00

Ok?

In War3, units can wind up attacks as they are turning, allowing them to attack as soon as they are turned around. It makes them more responsive.
Likewise, if you order a series of movements back and forth or in a circle behind the unit, the unit will move towards that spot even if they are facing the wrong way.
In Dota 2 units typically have to turn the whole way around before they move or shoot.

I just double checked this with a kodo and priestess of the moon, who are some of the worse offenders, whille on units like Rifleman and Dark Ranger its almost unnoticeable. Kodo Rider is most noticeable, as you can clearly see that his attack animation has started well before hes facing the object, and fires once he is.

My point being if long matches are a problem. 7.00 is one of the best things to happen

Lately I've been watching WC3 gameplay because 7.00 ruined dota and the only heroes that I found fun where Chen and Meepo. I also looked at other RTS and even tried them. WC3 looks like a much superior game, but most other RTS' are trash compared to DotA, at least C&C, Warcraft 2 and Starcraft 2 I don't know about 1.

A bunch of people on here said DotA just tweaked WC3's abilities, but that's not even true. Shit like pudges hook, clock's hook, kunkka's x, etc don't exist in WC3 because it doesn't fit the game. Especially kunkka's X would be so fucking broken in WC3 because TP'ing in WC3 is a way bigger save than DotA. Not to mention shit like chronosphere, storm spirit and half of invokers spells. In WC3 the TP appears to protect your hero and teleports all your units around him with him. TP's are way more valuable though, and if you force the other person to TP out you set them back a little. Also some ultimates in WC3 are just basic abilities in DotA, like juggernauts blade fury is the ult for the orc blade master. Theres probably 3-4x as many abilities in DotA as there are warcraft, because almost every unit in warcraft (most of which has no abilities at all) is a hero in dota with 4-6 abilities, all of which are unique. I think this makes positioning much MUCH more important in DotA because a lot of heroes, even supports, can die in half a second for being 2 feet too close to the creep wave, but in WC3 for most of the game the hero can tank way harder then TP out. Imagine in DotA if natures was split pushing deep on your side of the map, when he got ganked he could take a few hits from the enemy team, and then TP out scott free every single time with his trees (that don't die during the TP process), however if his trees died they gave way more gold. That's the level of forgiveness I'm seeing.

I get the feeling dota is so much more extreme because of WC3's base building. Essentially you wall off your workers with your base but create a small gap (which you later use to block people inside of your base) and either start roaming or building units. It seems the pick counter pick is in what units you decide to build and what 2nd 3rd hero you pick up. Flying units are also a way huger deal, because you can literally fly a zepplin with a bunch of units on it into the enemy base and fuck everything up. Or you can get flying units to harass the enemy base. You also have to expand your base to other gold mines, which makes you end up having to defend multiple bases and manage them. Also the jungle looks less divided. Some heroes just fuck with the other player and steal his last hits and shit (death knight and orc blademaster). Also the game is based a lot on random drops that the jungle creeps drop.

The only major problem is shit like map hackers and the fact everyone in the community has been playing for 18 years, so the only way you can break in is by ruining a ton of 4v4 matches. However, it's starting to look much better than dota is now. Also if anyone tells you warcraft 2 is better than 3 they're just plain delusional.

A match in Total War is like 15-30 minutes
I can't believe peple actually play this trash.
You know why people complain about normalfags?
Because they subject themselves to primitive monkey tier emotional shit like peer preassure and fake progress/accomplishments.
Which is precisely what you are doing by playing this garbage.

In dota?

No lad, I'm talking about Bubsy 3D

...

That was directed at anybody that complains about long matches and claims that 7.00 has no redeemable qualities.

But if match speed is that important you could try a hyper offense team on pokemon showdown each match potentially lasting a few minutes.

KEK

is it a coincidence that there was also a loli water/bubble mage/healer in heroes of newerth named pearl? hons pearl didnt look like she wanted to dom you though.

...

Better watch out sangria may not like this

Way to go newfag, until even you understand what ASSFAGGOTS stands for and why we strated to use it.
I'd say lurk more, but that ship sailed long ago.

The game is fucking garbage.

Jug arcarna eh?

I don't even know how to play Nu-Jug I still want battlefury and 4 protect 1 dota.

Is Dark Messiah a good game?
I never got to play it

its cute and worth a play on at least hard difficulty because then you have to think a tiny bit.

pls…

jug still plays about the same, just come to fights and pop your ult if it looks like your team can win

I always had the suspicion that many of the sweaty nerds that play Dota every waking minute have deluded themselves into believing it's a social experience.

I played a match again yesterday playing since 7.01 because I had to prepare for exams.Haven't gotten around playing it much more because I had other games to play and finish(like many fucking games on the 3DS,BotW,Styx,Dankest Dungeon etc).

One thing I'm fucking happy for that I saw from my last game is that the game is actually fucking responsive again.

For example,let's say you have chess,but you want to make some other games using some of the pieces.So you can take away some pieces,change how other pieces move/work and change the board to accomodate said changes.

Change it well enough and your custom game will hardly resemble the game it was based on anymore,despite the fact that you're still moving
pieces on a board.

I don't see the point,I play single player games with no issue and I still enjoy ASSFAGGOTS to some extent.

No surprise. This whole board is full of hive minded fucks who just sling shit at whatever they can and have no way to back up what they're saying.

Bump for the game that lets you bully 5 normalfags at once :3

More like nine, you don't both have four friends and play dota2.

You are helping your 4 team members not bullying them.

theres always the ever so slight chance that theyll get bent out of shape because youre helping them in a fashion that theyre unfamiliar with

This is why ASSFAGGOTS are fucking cancer. I don't care what the rest of this dogshit website full of casual weebtrash says, this right here is why the games are fucking cancer. You can't experiment with all the crazy abilities and shit. Especially if you have a party on your team, because they'll always flame you even if you're carrying hard. No joke I literally had this happen:

The game is full of fucking awful players who think copying some strategy pro-players do, or think the meta in the random pubs with random people is the same as the top 1/100th of a percent players who all know eachother and practice the same shit together.

This isn't even considering the people who just pick the same 10 pub heroes and fucking feed with them, even though they're OP as shit because the supports never sentry ward their jungle or smoke gank.

The only way I have ever played this game is by picking shit you never see in pubs and buttfucking these retards over with them.

>102 matches? You nigger, that must be your alt acc with some kind of a mmr abuse like Zeus :^) or Oracle. You mind sharing your dotabuff?

The Jugg arcana got a new style. Holy shit, they actually listen.

(To reddit)

...

I want to enjoy Dota 2 as a LoLbabby but i really dislike laning in this game. Harrasing is way too much Autoattack based as spells cost way more mana compared to LoL and laning itself takes far too long. LoL have the same problem in pro games sometimes but i really found laning to be boring in dota 2. I did not play dota 2 much but can you give me some tips to make laning more fun?

Fucking seriously dude?


Because you're new and don't know how to lane.
Either learn how to shit on the other laner or abandon your lane and go around killing people.

Is there any heroes that are good at harrasing the enemy heroes in laning? I am talking about top/bot that is most of the time 2vs2. I want some action in laning that is not just poking with autoattacks and lasthitting/denying. I dont mind denying myself i just wish spells did not cost so much mana early game. Like 2-3 times i use Lion Q i am OOM

And it is not like i dislike the skill design itself. After i looked at the skills of each hero i think there are many cool heroes i want to try. And i also like the fact that i dont have to grind for shit like heroes, runes and masteries but the few times i played the early game bored me

what is roaming support

im pretty sure you just need to get more familiar with the game. particularly items.

if you want something simple in the meantime go with pudge, one of his abilities doesnt even cost mana, but be sure to get some magic resist early on because it hurts himself as much as the enemy.

can't bring myself to ever pick this up again since they "introduced" the hots talent bs. this game used to have different game mechanics for gameplay related reasons not pointless gimmicks. i guess i'm better off

Lion is literally the only support in the entire game who doesn't need to manage his mana, next to keeper of the light. His 3rd skill literally lets him steal it from the opponent. Just get 2 points in mana drain and max earthspike / hex. In lane throw your spike and drain the mana. Also your earth spike goes further than the cast range so you can target it at the ground if someones far away.

Keeper of the light has a skill that gives himself or an ally mana, and you max his giant light wall harrass and just shoot walls at people from the trees. It crushes new people who have no clue what to do.

Other Lane harassers are:
Skywrath
Silencer
Disruptor
Venomancer right clicks do DoT plus your acid spray can get kills
Can't remember more off the top of my head.

DotA isn't league even though VALVe is doing everything it can to turn it into league. Most heroes can cast their spells 2-3 times and need clarity potions or soul ring.

Also lane harassers are the absolute most boring way to play this game and aren't even that effective unless your carry is one of the "If I get fed it's GG" types. Thats why you'll hear people from league bitch about how slow the early game is, because they play DotA like it's league. The early stages of the game, with people who know how to play, are the fastest because everyones running around killing each other while the mid and carry farm.

Lich always has mana too

What a deal with zeus and oracle?

cant wait to deal with these faggots for the rest of the month

1 of the many tumors of this cancerous game.

Earlier today I had a faggot in my team who nominated jug for a ban accidentally because he wanted to pick him. Got him banned and then left the game.

I would recommend not harassing at level 1 unless you have the regen. At level 1 all your spells are gay, they have high mana costs and don't deal enough damage. I would rather wait for level 3 so one of you spells is at level 2. At that point they deal twice the damage for same or just slightly more mana.

lol valvedrones

Was this in ranked?

Why would you play F2P P2W ASSFAGGOTS by Valve?

I believe that the 10 mmr calibration matches takes into account more factors than just match outcome such as hero damage which zeus excels in.

I heard that this exploit has been patched though.

P2W?

You can try playing lich, his sacrifice+frost nova combo allows you to spam spells and control the lane.

He is widely considered among if not the easiest hero to play

Not him, but I'd argue that the confusion and delayed identification of your hero that comes with the more outlandish cosmetics gives an advantage, an advantage you can buy. It fits the criteria for pay to win.

Yeah

is it because of

If you're retarded and have issues with processing information(IE:Looking at the fucking portaits at the top of the screen),I guess it counts.

Issue is that most new cosmetics for popular heroes are shit,Nyx and Sand Kang are the worst offenders.

Maybe in the rare case in which you have all these heroes in the same team. I don't like cosmetics either, there should imo be the option to disable them. But you are facing only 5 heroes at a time.

its euls and jugg ult. you could never hook puck out of phase shift

Also prevents you from hooking anyone nightmared by Bane for a second while the nightmared target is invulnerable, and prevents you from hooking anyone sleeped by naga ult

...

Haven't played since right before what's his name came out, Underlord. Heard they changed a lot. Should I dive back in?

Nah, he is just a fat tank with 3 second root. Boring hero.

They are simply genius.
I Want off this game, please kill me

He nerfed in last patch to make him absolutely worthless after 15 min.

What happened to custom modes ? Why are they all so shit ?

Juggernaut is my Husbando

Valve throw it away to community but Game Kit is to complicated for common users or experienced war3 modders.

Because the provided Source 2 tools are
A)Unfinished
B)Kinda shit
C)Extremely difficult to use compared to something like WC3 or SC2's map tools
Built in support for LUA scripting is nice I guess, but until Source 2 gets actually finished custom games are stuck in the gutter.

Also discover-ability is fucking impossible due to how saturated the workshop is with shit like basic variations of the base game and incomprehensible chink shit.

Are you sure it's worse than sc2 ? It suffers from the exact same issues - lack of models and oversimplification of modes.

I don't think it's as bad as SC2's arcade, at least not everything is some variant on a tug-of-war.

Custom games are dead because they don't give valve money
Pure and fucking simple. They make no effort to make their updates backwards compatible so custom games break all the fucking time. This means someone who is tired of fixing their game every god damn patch or is long gone from the community will never fix their game.

Everytime I take a look at the custom games it's always the same 10 games that I don't even fucking want to play. Someone could make a motherfucking RTS in dota if they wanted. Never gunna happen.

I guarantee that 100% of the cases of smurfing are from people farming up a new account to 6k then selling it.

Do what I'm doing now. See if your team gets a support, if they don't or the support doesn't buy wards just buy all the fucking wards and never plant them. Then sit mid and pretend like you're supporting the mid laner, maybe even tower dive a few times. Occasionally plant a ward under the enemy tower or in the trees. Then shit talk all the things your team is legitimately doing wrong.

I'm so fucking done with trash in this game. I'm just waiting till I actually have freetime not procrastination time to learn WC3 and play that instead.

I'm so glad this game went to shit so I could stop wasting my life on it

Ranked really is the only way to play this shit. But then you are either on a winning streak or on a losing one and alone it still sucks.

What mmr are you? And everyone else on this thread actually. I havent found that kind of bullshit since I hit 3k. Ridiculously bad players yes, but not people who outright refuse to do their job or act like retards

Also I desperately need a good core player I cant advance in solo because my core players cant do shit please I have 60% win rate on my mains I suck metaphorical dick really good

4225
But I haven't played in a year. I wanted to see what changed and play without going at it seriously. Instead normal games are considerably more unpleasant than ranked.

It never stops, I just entered 4k, but I have friends at 5.3k and above who still get shit teammates. Also EU players are waaaay worse than people on US servers because we got a shitload of people here who don't speak english and therefore can't read patch notes and shit.

I find the implication that such a thing does not happen on the US servers funny.

wasted opportunity

Probably the biggest turnoff of modern dota isn't even the new talents, but these gorillion shrines icefraud put into the game.
Shrine in the woods for forest teleport, really ? With regenerating ability ? Really ? It's like some stupid mod for dota becoming a reality.

hope you enjoy literally never getting rid of invoker mid with shrine + bottle + quas stack

Its even better if he "flying" on scripts.

Offlane shrines are the ones are that are actually dangerous since it makes it extremely difficult to bully someone out of the lane. It's why sending a carry/support duo to shortlane is so popular now.

It can't be as bad as in eu, just go to google maps and look how many small shit countries there are. I constantly get people from Morocco and places like Algeria in my team. And then there are fucking Egyptians, who have words with numbers in it. And when you don't get these fucking sandniggers in your team you get these eastern eu people in your team. You know how badly people from Moldova or Bulgaria suck? People from these countries are retarded, they have no good schools and they are stupid in general. And believe, only the most retarded people in those countries are playing games.

You may have retards in the USA too, but in the end of the day they are still decent human beings. Not like these niggers we get who try shit like carry cm in 4k matches. These people are animals, rapists, murderers, and they behave just as bad online as they would in real life. And don't get me started on Turkey…

Can we agree that people like Slacks and Arteezy ruined Dota?

A lot of people ruined it. Do these guys talk to devs and give them bad ideas?

Icefrog always balanced dota around pro player feedback.

peruvians vs russians vs pinoys

How do these great races rank in terms of dota skill?

All Russians I've played with where absolute garbage. They would constantly dive 1v4 or shit, never use the minimap, and flame one random person all game. Then Valve restricted the amount of regions and now it's Europes problem. Peruvians are just the stereotypical "draft like retards and do nothing all game" players who will trash talk when they're winning because they mostly lose. I rarely get pinoys, but when I do they usually pick tryhard shit but play like garbage.

Also you couldn't talk about any of this shit in any dota community because they're all a bunch of cucks who think aknowledging shit like: language barriers or regional MMR inflation is racist.

It's pretty hard to say which is the worst, because I only get peruvians, who are just as bad as the english speaking players except with english speakers you can actually understand their retarded suggestions and shit. Overall I'd say the entire DotA community is full of skilless idiots who just copycat organized pro-games in random disorganized pubs, pick the same 20 pubstompers but still play like garbage, and need someone else to carry them.

russians are good most of the time, just really aggresive


I guess the eastern russian players are trash. Whatever russian players make it somehow into eu west servers are usually alright, they just use runes to communicate

games a joke, but I still have 2600 hours in it
gabe newell is richer than the president of the united states of america

My favorite part about this game is making people uncomfortable. Any faggot talking on the mic is fair game, I don't even care about people not talking or just using text, even when they're feeding. I just use old Chi Long Qua tactics to tilt my allies, if they're unresponsive I'll just start calling them great players, saying they're obviously the best, MASSIVE play there missing your stun, etc. I'm learning 'spanol specifically so I can do this to south americans, just to see how they react.

It's just so tiresome. Abaddon took my rune when I was nature's prophet, and started going for the second one, I trapped him in trees and when he complained on the mic in his feminine numale voice (it's always a fucking feminine faggot crying on the mic) I tore him a new asshole, the thing is, I'll act unreasonable on purpose, saying things such as: do you really want me to get a 30 minute midas? how late do you want this midas when you're already complaining about losing your lane, which is clearly my fault, etc.

They still get mad, and never even.

Also is it no longer possible to repick heroes now? In all pick?

7.00 was a mistake.

got patched m8. Same with tiny toss

Funny you say that, because I'm bulgarian and I'm usually stuck supporting a bunch morons who micspam and towerdive solo into 3 people, then ask where the team is and upon getting called out by multiple people proceed to throw or solo farm all game.
Meanwhile burgers get mexicans and actual niggers - brazilians. But for you grass is always greener on the other side.

Never been in a game with pinoys, but I'd say russians are the best out of them. Their problem is that they play way to aggressive and obviously don't speak english. But you can play around that. If you have a russian Huskar in your team, just pick dazzle. Every other Huskar would just walk back like a idiot after you grave them and die on their way out, but russian huskar has balls to keep moving.

Also there are a shitload of tutorials for them. You can't say the same about other nations. As I have said here, just look at the map
You think they will have good dota tutorials in Ctechia or Latvia?

And about peru and all the other spanish speaking nations, they are all lazy faggots. Just like in real life they suck in gaming. They are the kind of people who play for fun, and only faggots play for fun. They fuck up because they suck so hard and then pretend like they don't care about winning.

They do the same in cs:go. I honestly think Icefrog is not that big of a deal in valve, I think when they make changes they listen to other people. Because there are a shitload of similarities in cs:go and dota2. So Icefrog either balances both of those games (which I doubt) or valve workers do most of the job and icefrog is just afk there.

CARRY SHAMAN CONFIRMED


Yep. I've since stopped playing entirely.
Game is awful now. The healing shrines update did me in. I even stuck around through bounty runes.
t. 2k+ hours, playing since 2013.


What. His lore explicitly stated he made his mask after killing a wild boar. What is this. Also, what did they do to jugg? I haven't played since '16.

I like having mooks, but I'll agree with the genre being cancerous. Titanfall did a good job.
Lane mechanics were also fun with the ganking and whatnot.

No one has ever seen the face hidden beneath the mask of Yurnero the Juggernaut. It is only speculation that he even has one. For defying a corrupt lord, Yurnero was exiled from the ancient Isle of Masks–a punishment that saved his life. The isle soon after vanished beneath the waves in a night of vengeful magic. He alone remains to carry on the Isle's long Juggernaut tradition, one of ritual and swordplay. The last practitioner of the art, Yurnero's confidence and courage are the result of endless practice; his inventive bladework proves that he has never stopped challenging himself. Still, his motives are as unreadable as his expression. For a hero who has lost everything twice over, he fights as if victory is a foregone conclusion.


They gave him an Arcana like Crystal, PA, and Terrorblade

I could have sworn when I first started playing it stated that me made his mask. It's been a long time. I suppose I was wrong them.

Also, I was referring to one user asking if his gameplay had changed, like reworking an ability or something.

He's never had any ability changes as far as Dota 2 shows.

Though I guess I should say, maybe the talents changed how people play him? Like how Lone Druid became Sniper when 7.0 was realized.

I have not played dota for over a year now, I think ill give it a another shot

Don't. It's fucked.

bravo gabe

Man, I had the same shit happen when I was doing the exact same shit with ember right when he was released. I mean the fact that ember's ult gives him a fucking instant TP with travels gives him some outrageous split push power while farming up a storm, but holy fuck a lot of retards were shitting on me for building travels on Ember until it happened at a tournament and every idiot started copying it.

Split pushing especially is a strategy that causes giant butthurt and makes teammates blame you for not being there in the teamfight. Even if you push right as they teamfight, they will frequently disengage and let you get ganked because they have no concept of split pushes and taking towers. Even if you farm up great items on a carry to win the game, they will be buttmad you're not living the zerofarm life with the scrubs who need to move in groups of 4 and wait at river for 5 minutes before every fight (these assholes are the reason I got addicted to travels, I'd rather farm and TP in at the last moment).

You guys remember the Centaur nerf? Return used to work on illusions too but they disabled it, but axe illusions still have their spin. I assume some valve employee killed himself while attacking a centaur illusion and got so embarrassed he had to nerf it.

Oracle and Zeus used to be heroes you can exploit to get higher mmr. A lot of things are calculated and damage + heal is one thing. Zeus is number damage dealer and Oracle is the best healer. Because heal is only counted if you actually heal someone, healing a full hp teammate doesn't count. But Oracle first damages your, then heals you meaning you could follow your teammates around and nuke them. That shit would cause you to get a high as fuck mmr.

...

...

...

thanks clq

...

...

I'm yet to see a single funny thing this fucker has done.


Haha, what?

This is a joke, right?

it's not so much funny but more situations we can relate too, for example that poor sniper. All he wants to do is to carry his team, but he can't win because he has a retarded Natures Prophet and a faggot sand king in his team who refuses to ward and goes jungle instead of supporting his lane. And all of that happens in, idk either 4k or 5k. So even in the top ranks you meet total assdicks.
Also have you guys ever noticed how most good games are full of exploits? Game devs don't know what the fuck they are doing and their games only randomly turn out well.
For example stacking in dota. It was not a feature, it was a exploit. Also choke point jungling (now not needed anymore). Then there is this game called chivalry, with every fix the game gets worse. Take out stacking from dota and it becomes a shittier game.
It's the same with counter strike and half life, they fix bhopping and try to make the game more realistic and you end up with casual trash like cs:go.
Exploits make good games, and game devs are total retards. Just name a few high skilled multiplayer games, I am sure most of them have exploits who later turned into features. One more game that comes to my mind is Unreal Tournament. It's not entirely exploits but you had some, and once they were removed the game was less fun.

dubs

If at least the hats were decent I'd understand but valve keeps making money off horrible tf2, dota and csgo cosmetics that most of the time are not even well made and dont fit the character's body correctly

...

Valve is literally ran by clique's so it's pretty likely that this is the case.

They also use to have flavor text which they stopped doing. They don't even make the hats anymore. It's all shit on the workshop now that the community makes for a cut. Valve literally is trying to get to a point where they literally have to do absolutely nothing. They don't even want to approve them. They want an automated market system where the goyim make hats all day and valve gets a cut.

I don't even know why they gave each hero lore.

Creeps only spawn in odd minutes and i didnt know

All the waste gold and effort looking for a camp blocking ward that wasnt even there

7.00 bro

The game started just in the end of the era when valve still gave a fuck. And not adding (GOOD) fluff is a mistake, see how all the dota artwork and fan content stopped around ti4 when they started mass producing hats and nothing else? People really underestimate backstory relevance these days, do you see how desperate people are for those tf2 comics?

But hey fuck that we only have money for 16 employees working on multiple games

Valve stopped giving a fuck a long time before dota 2. When they started giving tf2 a monthly hat update and Christmas themed weapons like the candy cane for the scout, that's when it was gone. From there on it's just been them trying to optimize their jewing tactics.

As for flavor text and backstory. I think it's more they where trying to be more true to the original dota than anything, because they didn't know what the players wanted or Icefrog had more control back then. There was even a scandal for a while where a Valve employee was QQ'ing over Icefrog forcing them to copy shit from dota. Although, that could have just as easily been someone from Riot trying to stir up controversy or a random jackoff on the internet. As time went on they deviated from Dota 1 and started making their own shitty thing. I've been watching a lot of WC3 gameplay lately and some of the units immediately jump out at me as dota heroes, but look at the recent ones. Legion Commander and Pitlord, look absolutely nothing like their original heroes.

Valve clearly is not full of people who actually play games and just industry has beens. Their progressive none-way of dealing with problems to the actual game like fucking language barriers/regional MMR inflation, their cliques that control the entire company, their shutting down of random games because of politics, etc. They're just a large San Franscisco-tier company now being kept in line by Gabe's undying lust for sheckles.

Well I mean before they went full retard

More likely. I heard he lost much of his influence years ago, and I imagine a wc3 custom map oldfag would at least try to retain a little of the original

Anyway the problem with valve is that they are a really small team, close minded, and they hit jackpot with the whole steam economy thing. They dont have a reason to keep making good, original content. Plus they're all under gabe's rule and he keeps pushing shit like vr because

I just guess/hope at some point people will get tired of the same games over and over with only cosmetics to add variety, and valve will start losing revenue. I mean as dumb as people can be, how long can they spend money on shit cosmetics for the exact same game they've been playing since years ago? Not to mention every time they push the line people call on their bullshit and tension rises, like the paid sprays in csgo
And again, people like their fluff, draw their fanart, ship characters and all that autistic shit. Overwatch is perfect proof, they have well crafted trailers and videos about the characters, they even have some comics I think, they made one of them gay because they knew people like that. And, they are a mainstream success

Overall dota isnt going int he right direction and I see it dying relatively soon. It feels like we reached its peak on the last ti and we are on the slow decline. tf2 needs a complete rework of all the classes at this point, something more than the weapon equipment, anything they try to do now is just patching a hole and making 3 more

Pit Lord has the most disappointing model I've seen, and Arc doesn't feel right for some reason. Legion is forgivable, and Techies and Terrorblade aren't too bad.


The Juggernaut arcane is the most half-assed thing I've seen in a while, and all of the cosmetics are now just lazy copy and paste jobs from hacks. Dota 2's meta has been complete dog shit.


I'm not trying to start an argument, but SocialJusticeWatch has been losing some of its players too (shit meta, sjw pandering). No one out of Tumblr really liked the comic because that shit was flat out sjw pandering, and announcing her as a lesbian somehow had more priority than making a decent 25th anniversary for Diablo (No one gave a fuck if she was gay, and would rather have better maps and content).


I don't understand why would you give Techies a shit rework, but make it a hero that dooms you to low priority like Monkey King. Sing Sing and Bulldog hate Dota to a point one left the scene saying fuck this, but they know it's the only game that nets them viewers (Sing had streams where he can't even get a game in solo queue). I don't know how Dendi feels about it, but only ass-kissers like Sheever (no more meal ticket with Bulldog), Purge, Slacks, PyrionFlax, and bums like Arteezy say 7.00 is good.

Im not saying I like overwatch or anything related to it, im saying that making content related to whatever goes on in that game seems to have worked for them
People get bored of games with low skill ceiling, it usually happens

The changes can be good, but not like they were implemented. The talents can revive heroes if they are done correctly. It did some good to a few ones but mostly buried deeper the ones that got shit ones. Sven, death prophet, medusa, gyro, etc. They were forced to turn the hud into the old layout but in mini size because making it normal again would mean admitting it was bullshit. Shrines are not the huge game change everyone claims they are. I think people lose because retards chase the enemy to the shrines and get killed, but it has a 5 minute cooldown they are not a safe escape. An activation delay could easily solve everything

The problem is the game was perfect on 688. They still had to make dire more viable and put roshan on a neutral spot (the current spot still has huge issues in favor of radiant) but heroes wise it was the closest to perfect that I can remember. And it took what, dozens of patches. Now it'll take twice as long with talents
And by the way everyone milking the dota cashcow knows they cant talk shit about the game, if the game dies they die. Watching purge videos he receives all patches positively but when he's on a game he constantly points out how objectively bad some changes are. For example I learned how you cant blink to roshan from dire's shrine but you can do it from radiants from him. Thats why I say the game's still good but slowly killing itself, small change after small change. I doubt it'll reach 688 level of refinement

I'm about to give up trying to raise my MMR. Where I'm at, 4/5 games are spics that all pick squishy hard carries, I usually pick last to fill in gaps and counter so I'm forced to pick a niche support like omni vs a heavy physical damage team. This is a fucking waste though because you may use all your skills to barely save your laner maybe win the lane, but he's just gonna rush a fucking battle fury and then get ganked while trying to solo farm the enemy jungle 10 minutes later negating any positive you've contributed. Should I just say fuck it, go lone wolf and play carries myself?

I would say it's better to go support if there are already that many cores.

There are not enough creeps in the map to feed that many cores quickly enough and everyone would just be underfed and uneffective.

also wew

Fake af.

...

But like 60% of that is being idle.

Are you even trying


I'm sorry that kenyan children are as smart as the average player.

How embarrassing.

I think most of the dota haters are too young to have played wc3 tbh.

I think you'll find most people who played on War3 are 'haters'.

He keeps reusing the same jokes though.

Who are you replying to?

...

Anyone have this video where it was playing the monty python lumberjack song, and the footage itself was half timbersaws face edited in the skit and the other half was gameplay footage. I tried digging it up again but I can only find gay montages. I think the guy who made it might have deleted it for some retarded reason.

People still play this shit?

...

definitely not, you hate the direction this game goes but you don't hate it entirely.

There's reaching, and then there's that.

honoestly play any team based shit that doesn't allow solo stomping on the enemy team and you'll get your frustration fix.

I hate the game in its current state.

Not him but shit that changes spell visuals is pretty cancerous. Mirana's sperm arrow caught me off guard when it was first added. Axe blademail change was pretty bad at first. There was also the mappack that made the trees cubiod hedges so jukepaths were more visible. Anything that changes spell effects can be pretty bad since that shit at glance value matters much more than a hero. Mirana's sacred arrow item still catches me off guard since I'm used to the vanilla arrow. Undying had a taunt that made his model spin which made it difficult as fuck to see which direction he was truly facing which was kinda shit. I'm pretty sure they added footsteps to it to

It's shite that valve are never gonna add a no cosmetics mode since it would hurt their market since some of the stuff they have added has fucked up balance to some degree.

Niggers if it's mirana she does the meteor animation and there are things falling from the sky, it's the fucking meteor. I thought that one guy complaining in reddit because warlock looked like lina or something like that was just a meme, jesus

The map hack was retarded though. You should arelady know juke spots by heart but I guess it helps people who doesnt know how to play for shit. Did they fix it?

He's talking about changing the stun arrows you moron, and not being able to tell they're the stun arrow because it looks like a different projectile.

Starfall doesn't matter since when it goes off, it goes off. Arrow matters since you can sidestep, forcestaff, blink and shit. They haven't fixed the tree hedges thing from what I know.

...

Just play overwatch in that case, and spend 10 minutes on a shitty match and not 30-50 mins. Unique characters is basically the only good thing about mobas anyway.

This is literally the only reason why I play dota. It's because of the extreme and interesting abilities of the heroes. I played lol for a little bit but never stuck with it because all the heroes where the same, but DotA has more heroes that function so completely differently down to a fundamental level than in any other game I've ever seen. Not to mention how their abilities synergies with each other and items. I never understood why anyone would play this shit game otherwise or play one of the boring right click heroes that have no thought to them at all.

ability draft

It always comes down to cheese now. Like aftershock + Shackles or Storms ult.

After shock + storms ult
Sticky napalm + shackles*

If they added in more people the chances of these combos appearing are minimized.

If that's true that's downright diabolical. I wouldn't put it past valve to do some turbo-jew shit like that.

Honestly this shit is totally normalized in the software industry, which valve is at the center of keep in mind. Every major software company does this already, why should valve be any different?

Gee I dunno, slippery slope?

kysfam

They have standards and the standard is money. If they gave a fuck about games they would make them instead of focusing on skins, steam and expanding their reach via VR, SteamOS and Steambox

They already admitted to put similar players into same games. Have you ever realized that it takes ages to find a game? In cs:go, even thought it has less players you find a game within the first 5 seconds, in dota it takes ages.

That was one of the things CLQ mentioned at the very end. "Why would match making be this fucking long, if not for this system. If it was just straight MMR it'd be a minute long queue."

Is that video of him still up? CLQ is really cool at pointing some shit out, he was also the one who found that exploit allowing him to use console cheats in custom games.

youtu.be/-zkHWbNZJEo?t=17m3s
Everything up to 17 minutes is him talking about why match making actually sucks. From then on it's him talking about how and why it's rigged. The sad thing about this shit, is even though it's true, it'll be like the NSA spying on people. Everyone knows it, no one cares or calls it crazy, then it gets leaked but most people don't give a fuck. Not to mention all the vocal communities like PlayDota, Reddit, Dev.Dota, etc are full of fucking fanboys who will devolve it to "Dunning-Krugger"

Meme

I've lost over 100 mmr to retarded shit like this haha

I wish I could actually quit. This game is nothing but frustration. Not just bad games, but games where we are wininng by a landslide and then a kunkka or a magnus start initiating on the worst situations. If they even land their abilities which they usually dont. And then they chase the enemy to their shrines. Over and over and over

dota2.com/store/itemdetails/11994?r=258


Holy fuck, talk about lazy and contradicting yourself


It's east to quit. I haven't played Dota in nearly 2 years, and 7.00 isn't going to bring me back anytime soon.

Alright, I'm pretty shit at playing anyone other than Omniknight, any tips or suggestions to playing another hero?

China is a huge market right now.

>Listening to old CLQ stream while working on shit literally only way I can curb my dota addiction atm

I'm pretty sure everyone deep down knew it would happen, but I always thought it'd e a gradual change. There's some fuckary going on here. Where companies do massive changes that fuck everything yet players ignore it. Probably how they pull it off or something. League coming out with a new broken hero every 2 weeks (nautilus, darius, etc) then nerfing them and then turning all their unique heroes like twitch into typical cookie cutter carries was enough to get me to quit. I don't fucking know what it is about dota. I feel like WoW players who kept playing after Cataclysm even though they knew the game was shit and was going to constantly get worse.

I don't know why that last post was a reply but w/e.

smurf and practice from the bottom I guess

Just had a Centaur match. Got a early heart. For those of you who don't play Centaur, with heart you are constantly healing, you can afk under a enemy tower and it will kill itself on you. It also means you can constantly spam your double edge because you heal right away.

We are in this game, I am solo taking down 2 t3 towers because my team would rather sit in jungle and farm. They team respawns and I have to go b because I can't 5vs1 them.

For the rest of the game my team is jungling and doesn't attempt to push once. At 50 min the enemy wins.

good fucking game. I rape them solo but end up losing because team FUCKING farms for 50 minutes. WHY ARE THESE PASSIVE GAY ASS MOTHERFUCKERS EVEN ALLOWED TO PLAY ONLINE?! I swear to god these guys are so insecure they don't want to push unless they are 6 slotted. i fucking hate this game.
