Who is the most fun hero to play? Pudge is pretty fun but he gets banned almost every match.

>Who is the most fun hero to play?
Pos 4 is the FUN position. No supporting slavery, no farm and neutral camp slavery, you just go around and fuck shit up.

Depends on what is your playstyle and what position you usually play

>>716140286
Extremely biased Nyx and Willow spammer but I agree.

>>716139997 (OP)
Clinkz and the purple assassin guy, makes the game unfun for the other team

>>716140286
This is pretty true. I will play BB just to run around being a retard and smacking people
>>716140290
Support. I've been on Rubick kick. Having lots of fun sticking people's own spells up their asses and launching them into their teammates.

>>716140353
Dark Willow fucks, I love her so much. She's one waveclear spell or CD cooldown reduction on ult away from being a broken mid

>>716139997 (OP)
Most "fun" characters get banned off the bat because retards cant/dont play them well enough to be actually good.

Pudge needs at the very least a fundamental understanding of mechanics, lane roles, and hero behavior related to their weaknesses and what they will do in the early/mid/end game, and needs a good idea on who to capitalize a gank on vs wasting an ulti on a support. He also requires a good 5 spot to be able to give him vision in both jungles.

But if you want "I can be a huge asset regardless of kills/gold" Go be a teamfight support.

One of my favorites is Phoenix as he can drastically turn the tides of a nasty initiation against your team into a losing battle for the enemy fairly easily. High mobility, high damage output over time during a teamfight as well as high healing over time during a fight for allies, huge nerf to enemy attack speed + burn, and an AoE nuke/stun that refreshes HP/MP/abilities for himself. If a Phoenix EVER gets fed and gets himself a healthy HP pool, he's incredibly difficult to pin down and kill.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubick!

I saw pros using PA recently so she can't be that bad

I used to be pretty good with Arc Warden but they changed something with his clone and now I can't perform well with him anymore.

>>716141486

They made it so his clone does half damage if the original isn't close, Valve is on a crusade against splitpushing. Same reason Naga has been unplayable as a carry for YEARS and only seen as a botched support.
All illusion and splitpush heroes are unplayable except TB because his illusions barely matter.

>>716141778
Who is right against early game poison?

>>716141804
>Same reason Naga has been unplayable as a carry for YEARS and only seen as a botched support.
I will take my revenge upon gaben and restore her honor inshallah.

>>716141804
You can thank the chinks for making split-pushing a meta for years. Literally the most tryhard and boring matches to be played with.

I miss the days of Dendi hooks

>>716141662
No just Arc Warden, playing 6v5 isn't fair

>>716141804
They changed that, now the clone gets slower and starts missing attacks the longer its alive

>>716142063
That's even worse somehow

>>716141862
Ain't gonna be drawn into making an essay about who should be doing what vs asshole who's gonna asshole.

You have tons of options for it, and if you can't figure it out that's a (you) problem.

What funny tricks or gimmicks even exist in this game anymore? Everyone is some greybeard who is familiar with every possible strategy and way every hero can be played. Valve is dedicated to cutting down ways to play as well, so you're always walled into the bush leagues by someone who dedicates their life to being boring. There's no more 900 range Sniper or out-of-bounds Broodmother or Pudge+Wisp hooks anymore.

>>716140286
Climbed to almost top 1% pos 4, it is by far the most fun role on average

>>716141804
>splitpush heroes are unplayable

Dark Seer is one of the strongest, he doesn't even need to be nearby enemy creeps to farm them

>>716141804

You don't have to run the same timings checklist and timed busywork as a 5, of course you still support but tangentially to doing other shit.

*My mistake I was thinking of OL. I play Rubick 4 and yes good times.

Can you type the whole hero names you fucking nerds

>>716146049
A friend gifted me the scifi set for Lady Mireska Sunbreeze of Revtel, the Dark Willow, and I think it kinda sucks.

>>716143921
NP is so stupid. Spirit first picked the hero vs Pvision and won anyway. This is meant to be the nerfed version because the giant treant is gone.

I am one game away from recalibration
I fear I'll calibrate in the 2k abyss because I got abhorrent games and a bad loss streak
Allah please help me

I pick Pudge, TA or Invoker. If I can't pick any of those I begrudgingly play whatever the team needs

>>716147290
>I fear I'll calibrate in the 2k abyss

Naw, you don't know the real abyss. The real Dota 2 Shadow Pool is low behaviour score. I know because I was always there, and now I'm grinding Turbo trying to fix my behaviour score.

>>716147485
Were you a massive raging cunt or something? My good boy points have never dropped and I routinely call people niggers

>>716147632
>Were you a massive raging cunt or something?

Yes, exactly. What I said to people is much worse than calling them niggers. Nobody empathises with the fact that I played Warcraft 3 Dota, which was much meaner than what we have now. They just see the crazy rage and report me, and it tanked my behaviour.

Grubby

>>716147770
I only report unjustifiable rage, like when a 1/11 start blaming the team

>>716147892
>I only report unjustifiable rage, like when a 1/11 start blaming the team

What if the 1/11 is a Support? Do you never play Support?

>>716147929
As a support you should never feed that much. It's an issue of bad positioning.
t. support spammer

>>716147929
if assists lower than death then yeah

Haven't played in years but I'd always go Lina and treant, pretend to be support, but end up just going around killing stuff.

>>716147969
>As a support you should never feed that much

Interesting. Here are the best players in the world, and one of the Supports is 1-11. Are you going to say you're better?

Could be worse. This doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

>>716147969
sometimes you have to put yourself in harms way an position tard aggressive so that your key heroes don't have to
this counts for every role, but tends to be mostly 3-5

no you don't fuck shit up if you can't support a core to do the damage. the fact that you guys play in a retarded way and win once in a blue moon because some smurf hard carried you doesn't mean what you do actually works.
>>716147969

My boy RUBICK. What's better than killing an enemy hero? Doing so with their own spell and in a much more stylish way

Sometimes I play Drow and remember how much damage she does, but she's so easy to shut down it's either a stomp or miserable suffering.

>>716148502
I find Jakiro is pretty fun too.

>>716148852
Also, you can deward with a single attack. I get hard when the enemy support cant trade sentries with me

>>716148761
Every time I pick Rubick I job massively and feel like shit because jobbing as THE GRAND MAGUS is humilating.

>>716147929
There's obviously nuance. Like if its mid game and that support is 1/11/30 I'll salute his commitment to brool.

but that's the point. idiots like rub and lion often play like aggressive tards and blink into the enemy. a single orchid can make them insta feed.
some of you guys can't understand that the gimmick shit that HAPPENED to work in some low quality game doesn't mean they work every time.

>>716150173
>The Uninstall Wizard.
this. dota is a pure luck game where winning has nothing to do with your efforts. matchmaking decides the game like a slot machine, only you get the result 40 minutes later.

since you can't really get away from griefers and ruiners, dota is a game for gambling addicts. in the original dota we used to have vote kick and filtering guys that had too low of a k/d ratio. nothing like that for the modern forced 50 slop.

>>716149426
I don't play ranked anymore and my social credit score dropped because I started getting really mad and either dropping slurs or leaving games because someone decided to say I was playing shit. Like "oh woe is me as the support to be grouped with such peons."

What is my reaction supposed to be? It sure as shit won't be positive.

I just rush rapiers in turbo to create gameplay because everyone else just plays meta dogshit with maybe one other guy doing something fun. Last I played I rushed it on PA and it always won.

It's a simple life.

>>716150852
>there is antimage on the other team

>>716150852
>>if team hasn't fed to shit by that point,
you mean if your team conveniently wins the game for you. because you don't have a choice to farm if the enemy team pushes (and they will) as a 5 man team.

>>716150991
if the enemy carry is fishing for fights that early then he isn't farming and falling behind

>>716150517
I actually almost never use blink on rubick. He's far too squishy to be getting involved in such situations. I will however get aether after boots and stun/zap a mf from across the map. Shard/ags are a much better investment in my retard brain than a blink. Pudge however I will rush blink after boots and chomp a dudes dick off.

>>716151121
>then he isn't farming and falling behind
winning ganks gets you more gold.

>>716151605
You overestimate how coordinated most teams are.

>>716150852
lol yep afk farm for a good 30 mins while your team has to fight without your or dodge fights until you are ready

>>716151981
>You overestimate how coordinated most teams are.
you pretend you don't understand. they become coordinated right away when they smell blood. it's not hard to understand that an enemy with a perma farming carry has a liability.
>>716153298
>dodge fights
you just lost all towers.

>>716153298
I farm role tokens to be pampered when it's my time.

>>716153415
you think dusa players care about towers going down its all about afk hitting creeps till they are ready to carry the game to a win

>>716153415
He was very obviously being sarcastic.

>>716148091
when 9class doesnt get his cheese pos 4 picks he looks avg compared to the rest

Are there any videos I can watch to "catch-up" in a way? I was never super into Dota 2 and played it for about 100 hours or so about a year after Free to Play came out. I stopped watching stuff and playing after 7.00 because so much had changed.

>>716154085
go watch gameleap or bsj

For me? It's Monkey King mid.

>>716154085
ZQuixotix made great videos for pos 4 and pos 5 players and he also does gameplay reviews for all roles, the rest you can just learn by playing, no one is gonna explain in detail what every facet does so you'll have to check them out yourself.

>>716153518
Speaking of dusa and excluding meme uncapped scaling like Pudge and L, is there any carry that scales harder than her in ultra late game? I'd say double refresh chrono FV but with how bad HP bloat is, I doubt he can burst enough heroes before it ends and he's paper.

>>716159364
Doom carry is pretty crazy late fvv and drow
