bring back the whirlwind facet for Windranger!

Marci!

DO NOT OPEN

take the snapfire pill now

Oh there was a new deer as well

Why is every Lion player super aggressive to the point where I know they're brown?

>>528866993
idk, i keep getting support Lions that buy Treads and glimmer and no blink
it's like nigga, all you need is a blink

>>528867130
My latest Lion just abandoned a fight at level 6 where we would have got 2 kills so he could get the lotus that just spawned.

Plague our enemies!

>>528869097
lmao that is cursed but lesh

>>528869097
enchantress when she's hugging people after doing her healing thing

I hope Tundra wins

Does anyone else think this game isn't very good?

>>528870561
I think it's the in the top 3 of the best games i've ever played, honestly. and i know i'll probably get shit for that opinion, but it's what i think, and the custom games play a significant part in that rating

>>528870561
DotA sucks!

Which team is /d2g/ rooting for again?

>>528870851
the one and only aurora but in this series tundra

>>528870851
Navi. Everything else is irrelevant this tournament

>>528871814
Navi winning would be the best outcome because the team is going to get replaced lol, they're already likely to win more money than they have in awhile

Where do they come from?

>>528869064
Hoodwink would never say this

lmao no stun against storm

Miss me?

Why is there a Dota tournament ongoing 24/7? There's like zero days downtime between tournaments.
And why is it always the same few teams and players playing? It's really hard to care, it's way too oversaturated.

remember when ursa could lv 1 rosh

>>528876227
Can you still do lvl1 rosh? It's been years since I saw it.

>>528876227
I member

>>528876384
ros is considerably harder with all the new abilities he has now (and thats a good thing)

>>528876227
Could still easily do it with the OP treants, but that's nerfed now

>>528876714
>shittily editing based Hoodwink pics
Jews can't meme
Real holocaust soon

I don't like nomad hosting, the guy has 0 charisma in front of a camera

how the fuck is this allowed?

>>528879448
You can choose in the settings to only solo queue and never play with/against parties.

>>528879448
Because you didn't enable strict solo queue

>>528879737
ill check it out, but i still dont understand why they cant put one party on each side

Is there a d2g guild?

ALERT
IDF'S FINEST SOLDIER AND JEW, 33 HAS ASSIGNED NOT ONE BUT TWO POINTS TO MIST COIL

NEVERMIND HE WENT UP TO THREE

>>528880450
>>528879448
>>528879737
Doesn't apply in unranked, by the way

>>528880781
Hey now, 33 is /ourdotard/ and we're all cheering for him to become the first player to win TI 3 times.

If I see my pos5 not buying wards as a pos4, I'm not buying them either. Play your assigned position or fuck off

>>528876227
he still can with 4 heroes helping

>>528880909
There are times when it's better for the pos4 to "buy" (they're free) the wards, like if you're Bounty Hunter or a similar hero that can get way better positioning and deeper wards than a Crystal Maiden could.

If I see my pos4 not get the wisdom rune as pos5, I'm going to soft grief. Play your assigned position or fuck off.

>>528880450
>ill check it out, but i still dont understand why they cant put one party on each side
to shorten queue times probably

>>528881058
cry about it, support cuck
>t. mid sniper picker

>plays TA
>Buys Falcon Blade to make his early game more powerful
>Then proceeds to spend the first 25 minutes only farming and letting his team fight without him
>Buys blink dagger before Desolator even though he already established he is just farming, not fighting early
>Finally buys Desolator at 23 minutes, 7 minutes later than average
>Gets courier killed because he is farming in the other side of the map
Crystalis is very easily the worst player to ever appear on a "pro" tournament

>>528881234
Wasn't talking about you, retard.

>>528881310
he plays sniper, go easy on him

>>528881310
Ward my mid, bitch boy

>>528880781
Tusk Beastmater and Enchantress don't really need mist coil. You can get it for TA who's kinda squishy. but I guess slowing down her enemies with curse of avernus is more important

The absolute state.

midas octarine bros, not like this

Enchbros...

is gg good again?

alright ill bite what am i in for

>>528882293
latinx...

>>528882293
Racial slurs

latinx are welcome in d2g

>>528870851
as much as i despise that johnny sins lookalike guy, i gotta root for navi for BOOM

I thought Fogged was meant to be casting but I haven't heard him

>>528884616
has he been on the analysts panel? maybe that info is wrong.

>>528884763
I don't know I don't pay attention to those, he's probably just sick cause 5 casters is an odd number to have or maybe he's just for the finals or something

>>528883549
>despise that johnny sins lookalike guy
Why? Did johnny fuck your girl or something?

>>528876384
There was the courier method that came out a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioxaLpqkRHc

The latest anti-courier change seems to be a direct response to that.

>>528885318
>risky strategy that likely wouldn't work in a real game anyways
>"oop better destroy it right away"

>>528885657
To be fair, couriers shouldn't be able to tank like what, 8 hits? from Roshan each. Though I don't think I've seen a single game where people tried this. I would've loved to but haha, you need 5 people to micro their couriers properly without getting them killed.

>>528877667
Iranian hands typed this

>these stats on pango
When will he go away?

bros dropped from 5600 mmr to 5100 I don't feel so good...

>>528888384
what stats

>>528885009
nice rebuttal retard, i never had a girlfriend my entire life. he just looks retarded, plain and simple

Ame is so fucking bad

>>528890165
they're all playing like trash

>>528866139
>>528882074
I want to sniff Enchantresses hooves

>>528889448
I don't think you know what the word "rebuttal" means, retard

>>528891336
>stand still in the middle of enemy base
>get blown up instantly by shadow blade Tiny
lmao Ame

>>528869064
>>528876714
unfathomably based hoddwink posts, no doubt she's our greatest ally!

>>528891029
how about i rebuttal your face faggot

I don't know who this commentator is but they are based for saying Shadow Blade is retarded for pos 1 Tiny.

>>528892229
>never had a girlfriend
>hates players for women reasons
>highly emotional and easily butthurt
Na you can keep your faggotry to yourself

How were the tundra gg games?

>>528892229
kek

>>528888543
Don't worry you'll win it back

funny how this navi team is having their first good tournament ever after being disbanded

how is gorg even a dota streamer at this point all he does is watch the games

>>528866139
this might be the best looking deer pic yet. its perfect

>>528896674
if he ever suggested that he would stop playing dota it would kill his viewership
he doesnt rage or cry when watching pro dota
his viewers crave that visceral response to the game

>>528897038
dota players and viewers all need theraphy

New facet for Sniper: Mass Shooter
Sniper gains attack speed and damage based on how many enemy heroes within 600 units from him. He can also use Ult on himself as a deny.

Chinks

New facet for pudge: Fat Bastard
Pudge has sex with a female hero on the enemy team resulting in them being impregnated.

why is Tiny allowed to exist

>>528898302
i miss my nigga niu, fucking tidebound got stuck with a retarded eceleb wannabe pos3

>>528898574
tiny is fine, movement displacement is the real problem
the counterplay involves using bkb a split second before they use their ability
its not practical
we need a way to prevent being moved

>>528898574
the avalanche level 25 cooldown talentis so retarded

jesus christ

lmao what a game

>>528898629
Yeah but chinks and their worship of old names mean they will never let ame, bach etc go.

If AM's Mana Break doesn't pierce debuff immunity, then shouldn't a simple BKB completely nullify his only advantage in battle?

>AM counterspell has a 3sec CD
how are you suppose to cast any spells on him?

>>528899689
am sucks

>>528899415
>bach
just stick with faith_bian jfc, fucking chinks

>>528899802
>28% Pick Rate
Does he now?

>>528900460
no?

Did neither NA, SA, SEA team make the playoffs? It's all EU and XG?

>>528900515
I was looking at the 'All Heroes' page and it showed me double that amount for some reason.

my nagas

Deer wife picked

>>528899689
Yes, but there's multiple ways to play around it.
>>528899782
Just blast him as soon as the first counterspell finishes him. That said his name is ANTIMAGE; tanking spells is his entire gimmick, but even so aoe and physical damage fucks him up.

nishit getting owned

is blademail balanced?

>>528904601
just stop hitting them

>>528904738
If you are death prophet ulting you cannot

>>528904861
buy bkb

>>528902871
Counterspell's duration is 1.2 seconds and the cd is 3 seconds. The spell will be ready before you know it lol. He just can't be killed after laning and before late game.

>>528904601
No. It should literally just be removed from the game.

aurora looking good

>>528904601
with satanic you can heal the damage you take

>>528905835
you will NEVER out lifesteal your own damage return
bkb is the counter to bm active

wtf is this shit

>you pick LOCATIONLOCATION a big teamfight hero because he thinks he's collapse

>>528905349
>Counterspell's duration is 1.2 seconds
Yeah so just time your spell to hit right after it ends.
>He just can't be killed after laning and before late game.
AOE spells absolutely fuck him up. He has quite a few hard counters in multiple positions.

>>528907139
Ari

what the shit is this?

This tournament any good? Thinking of taking a break from watching until TI starts.

>>528916749
Its actually been one of the better tournaments imo, especially the Navi games.

Jesus just how strong are Crimson Guard and Pipe. I decided not to follow the meme Dawnbreaker guide and instead opted for Harpoon>BM>Pipe>Crimson and these last 2 items completely turned the game around. We were losing the fights all the time but once I got crimson the enemy PA and LC couldn't easily kill our pos1 anymore. Im in Archon so these retards just kept hard commiting and it suddenly became impossible for them to kill us. Adding Pipe on top of that and we managed to win this game, I didnt have the best stats but these 2 items pretty much flipped the game upside down

https://voca.ro/1mswboAwFmIN
https://voca.ro/1hd8ixUu2o52

>>528916975
You think so? I wasn't impressed overall. I guess the mega comebacks should look impressive, but they feel more like sloppiness.

remember when dota 2 battlepass levels had tie in with the steam summer sale...

sheever is aging like a fine wine
would nut in her barren womb

>>528919536
Yes and Im glad its gone.
>wanting to spend money on this game.
lol
lmao even.

WHEREN ARE THEY GOING TO DELETE THIS DOGSHIT FUCKING MEME ITEM FROM THE GAME ALREADY???

>buying travels when you have TPs in your slot doesnt return you the money for them anymore
since fucking when?

>>528924776
probably since the exploit that allowed you to get infinite gold.

I just played a match on Guardian 2 and got 32 kills, I thought this would have stopped happening ever since I got out of Herald but apparently it's still going on.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but Valve has always had high hiring standards. If they turned into Blizzard, we'd definitely notice the effects.

That solves that mystery. Any other schizo theories?

this game is in fucking possible. Of course we lost, but stupid niggers like this is why this game is unplayable, south americans are impossibly stupid.

>>529006117
They said they were stressing way too much about results and once they failed to qualify for both TI and EWC, they realized how much of a negative impact it was having on them and decided to change their mentality completely.

Its pretty cool to see just how much of a difference a change in mentality can have.

Battle pass bros any news ?

I have a confession to make

as the bear necessities expert and supreme spammer I think the build I have stated many times as being the best might be slightly unoptimized

I led you astray

the true item order is vlads, power boots and orb of frost on bear, eaglesong, butterfly, crystalis, daedalus, mkb, mljonir if illusion spam is out of control over daedalus if the illusion spammer has butterfly, otherwise over mkb

I feel satanic doesn't take advantage of the insane damage spike you have in the mid game with butterfly, daedalus timing, you get enough lifesteal from vlads, you want to end the fights as fast as possible

also power boots on bear after vlads converts so many kills that wouldn't be possible

bear kit in late game should be power boots, orb of corrosion/skadi, daedalus, ac, maximize the lifesteal to druid off bear hits, radiance always feels good but I don't think it actually helps the build as much as trying to get attack damage as high as possible to keep druid alive

disperser/diffusal is a total wasted slot on druid still, but could be an item on bear but I'm not sure if the manaburn damage converts to lifesteal so for that reason I'd pass over it

I don't think about this game at all, I'm a complete beginner and I'm 1300 MMR above you in the same timeframe.

>>529014040
Immortal draft is where the game actually starts, anything lower is a tutorial

>>529014040
if it took a shitter in herald to legend would you not be impressed at all?

>>529013330
There was never even a shred of proof to this.

>>529013197
Sabotage by Valve. Perhaps they are preparing the ground to kill Dota once it's more out of public sight and its reputation half ruined (TI upheld and amplified both the public attention and Dota's reputation).

I already prepared several posts exposing Valve and explaining what can be done to safeguard Dota and maybe prevent it from getting killed just like TI was (the most important aspect is not playing any new multiplayer games made by Valve and spreading the word to other Dota players).

I will post them once the event comes around and the thread gets flooded with returning players, if I have the time. I'm going to be extremely busy this summer and autumn.

They just knew that the prizepool increasing every year forever wasn't possible and that people will sperg out with DAEAD GAME the year that it fails to surpass the previous year, so they wanted to take the initiative on their own terms and remove the expectation of infinite perpetual growth.

>>529011093
obviously Marci

>>529014190
That's a different issue. If a strat takes you to baseline Immortal, that's impressive.

>>529014402
Anything is possible in shitter ranks. Nobody cares about what works in 3k MMR or less.

>>529014913
nah

>>529014652
Pros were convinced that people bought battlepass levels mostly to support the pros, not because of the fomo hats
Valve removed the battlepass from ti and did crownfall instead, with a new event in the works

>>529014738
No. Displeasure, demoralization, contempt and hate Valve would get from the playerbase if the prize pool dropped from 40 million to 35/30/25/20 is like 10% of what it will now get for killing TI. Many people just didn't realize what happened yet. I myself only realized at the very end of fake "TI" 2024 and was a huge Deadlock fan.

>>529014402
At their skill, not at the build. The point is if you are skilled enough you can make any garbage work in lower ranks to climb.

What mmr is rank 5000 on EU now? Still 8.6? Just want the number back man and I can stop until I get inflated out of it again.

first pro pl pick in forever?

>>529015687
8.6 or 8.7, 4k rank is 9.2

how do i practice last hitting? i tried a custom game called "training polygon" and it wouldnt work

>>529015902
Neat, thanks. I know how my vacation is being spent.

quinn....

>>529016084
Enjoy immortal draft ;)

>>529016025
The training polygon should work, it’s the one where you last hit vs a sniper, no? I’d say it’s marginally useful as you don’t have any items and it’s only vs sniper and and there is no harassment involved. It’s not realistic as the enemy AI will not attempt to pull waves at all but it can be good to practice the timing of your projectiles on heroes with slower ones like puck or arc warden. Realistically you’ll get better at last hitting by playing the game and getting your timing down properly but it is hugely lane and opponent dependant. If you’re playing mid I would say that you simply have to understand certain matchups, let’s say you’re playing a melee hero into OD or something, you’re going to want to disrupt the equilibrium as much as possible in order for the OD to use his W to secure his own last hits rather than denying you creeps as much as possible, so pull the creeps to hit the ranged creeps and nuke the enemy ranged creep asap etc etc, conversely attempting to do the opposite if you’re in a lane advantage. Or you could simply pick huskar, ignore all lane intricacies and orb walk your opponent into absolute submission 95% of the time.

>>529016389
I already had the huge pleasure of playing immortal draft from 6200-8300, I’m ready to come home.

>>529016591
Remember when anti mage could throw illusions at people with zero risk to himself every 6s

>>529016591
I genuinely don’t and my first game was in 2013

they ruined abaddon by removing the shield facet and nerfing curse multiple times

>>529016891
changed in 2016
you used to instantly go to 0 mana when attacked by pl illusions

>>529016737
I'd like that back but increase the cooldown. The current aghs sucks.

>>529017069
No, they ruined him by overnerfing mist coil despite nobody intentionally giving it skill points until level 26

>>529017319
that bit isn't funny man

>>529017319
how did mist coil get nerfed?
i feel like mist coil has always been a shit spell.

pl is broken

>>529014652
Somebody is spreading rumors that the pros and the casters are to blame for what happened to TI (no battle pass or other methods of funding, no ceremonies, almost no stage play days, no true sight, etc), but proofs are NEVER presented. Probably a Valve affiliated poster trying to redirect public hate and "manage" the death of TI.

>>529015246
Post proofs.

>>529017406
Abaddon 5 was insanely strong before nerfs, and most coil was always bad when used on enemies but on allies with a locket it was pure damage with 30% spell amp, paired with a strong dispel on a six second cooldown support a add on was way overturned a couple of patches ago. Picked in pro games as well as high mmr pubs with very high frequency and win rate

this xg draft cant deal with pl

>>529017406
>how did mist coil get nerfed?
Values are now -20% at rank 1, -10% at 4
>i feel like mist coil has always been a shit spell.
It's bad if you're level 30, and doing 325 magic damage against someone with 8k EHP
but
It was really good if you're level 7, and doing 325 magic damage against a support that dies after two casts

It would even win you early teamfights because ulting then "damaging" yourself by throwing 325 health at the team's real carry negates some retard's single target nuke, AoEs or several right clicks.

>>529017069
Good! Retard hero, support abandon was literally better than any other defensive support for too long. Why would you ever pick oracle over abaddon or omni? There was no reason to ever even consider another hero

>Cancer Lancer is back
Fantastic.

>Get your own PL illusions
>Doesn't matter because he presses his ghetto manta button

>puck nerfed
>qop untouched
>huskar untouched
Nice, I’m fine with puck being nerfed, but why only nerf one of the three heroes dominating the mid meta?

But Reddit told me PL was bad?

>>529018453
Bigger nerfs are for number patches, not letters

>>529018453
Also, people are sleeping on curveball,in addition to making your lane harass with orb much more consistent it lets you leave the option to jaunt out for twice as long and it one hits ranged creeps between level 7-10 (until the orb damage facet) unlike jostling rift. Actually good players know this, Quinn and other knowers take orb facet more frequently than jostling rift which has far more niche uses, i.e cancelling movement based abilities such as charge, timber chain, pango w, techies jump etc etc, in almost all other scenarios orb facet is superior. I am giving you this knowledge for free.

I've always loved PL's toolkit and playstyle, I just hate how the character looks.

>>529018265
I'm not a PL enjoyer, in fact, he's the direct opposite of my favored play style (hyper mobile mid), but I have slightly missed seeing him in pro play. I don't think it's fitting for Dota when a hero gets ignored in tournaments for that long.

>>529018937
Pl is not the opposite of a mobile mid hero, pl is the closest you get to a spirit hero in the form of a classic agi-carry. He is still absolutely unadulterated DOGSHIT however, and there is no scenario in which you wouldn’t rather have a TB or naga

>>529016540
my hero doesnt load in

>>529019140
>He is still absolutely unadulterated DOGSHIT however, and there is no scenario in which you wouldn’t rather have a TB or naga
So, the scenarios where those two end up banned and you need to pick a cancer hero

>>529019140
Yeah, I already realized that I worded it pretty poorly. What I meant to say was a "constantly repositioning hero with high burst potential" andeextreme skill expression (Ember, Storm, Kez, etc).

PL is pretty mobile for a hard carry, but his style is hiding in a swarm of illusions and killing a hero slowly, not lightning fast plays that can turn a game.

>>529019140
He's infinitely better than carry naga

>Sniper is the easiest hero to play
>first ban material in pro games
how is he balanced?

>>529019842
below 50% winrate in pro games and pubs

>>529019531
>>529019140
You could argue AM/PA and maybe spectre and Kez are as much like spirits as PL is. If AM still had his old aghs then he would definitely be the most spirit-esque agi carry.

>>529019842
He's squishy so easy to gank and blow up.

Best Sniper users in last year's TI were like, Ame in XG. The other thing about last year's meta was that everybody had 3-4 Bracers so they were fucking fat. Despite all his advantages and damage, he couldn't kill 5 fatties by himself and that was their downfall. The Chinese tried to be offensive and get pickoffs but they were eliminated by Tundra who had a deathball with LMAO THREE FORCE STAVES which made targeted kills nearly impossible. That's the thing about pro games in general. They will group up as 5 at the slightest sign of danger. The typical pubstomp strats of "kill one loser early before his help arrives" doesn't work in pro games. So somebody like Sniper who wants to kill one person at a time, can't. And pros will draft deathball comps more than not so that they can do 5v5s. This is also why pros (and casters) were obsessed over Whirlwind WR even though they did jackshit with her.

I never enjoyed handjobs and wonder why they are so talked about online and seen as arousing. Perhaps it's the young guys excited about the mere prospect of a girl touching their dicks.

Why did Bkop and Lacoste become a casting duo if they don't like each other? Lacoste pretending that he doesn't understand banter and improve to instead make Bkop sound stupid. Bkop is starting to nip back every now and then, and you can tell none of this is jokes.

>>529025969
Okay, going in demo mode, at lv 25 I was attacking once per 0.44s at 408 ASPD which is not enough because I need 0.4s per attack to get off 15 hits on a lv 25 egg with Aghs. Plus there's the miss chance from the Phoenix Blinding Sun innate that goes through BKB. That probably was what made the difference. So I need a FOURTH Hyperstone or equivalent + MKB.

Fucking hell, why am I stuck attacking it alone?

Even if he joined then you would've still lost because the "carry abaddon" would've shielded himself at the slightest inconvenience then held onto his borrowed time not to disrupt enemy stuns/initiation and rescue the actual carry, but to become invulnerable at 400 hp (he immediately gets Euls'd then dies last)

I don't know why teams haven't been doing it earlier. Its really common for these mid heroes to have massive damage numbers, so why not play two?

>>529039041
well like fear just said liquid had 0 building dmg which usually comes from the pos 1, and leshrac only worked cause liquid's 1 was a meme qop instead of some physical dmg dealer that could kill lesh.

After 700 hours of ranked grind, I got to say Dota and League aren't comparable, the flow of both games is completely different. Once 1 team starts snowballing in League, no matter the rank, it's going to win. Comebacks are extremely rare. Meanwhile, Dota is a tempo game. You have to actively keep pushing your advantage or the enemy carries will slowly catch up. If you don't strangle them while you are strong, the hg will ensure that the game is going to stall.

I'm getting better and better as I play, and I was weirded out by how many games we or the enemy team managed to turn around because the winning team ran out of steam. As the years passed, League games kept getting shorter and shorter as the powercreep grew. What is normal in Dota ceased to exist in League like, what, 6 years ago? But I got to say, even though Dota is definitely a better game, playing League felt better in a way. Players in Dota often have no idea how to keep the tempo going, the map is big and there are many options to choose from as to what to do at the current moment. Unfortunately, many players just choose wrong and the games get stale. I guess that's better than the game being decided in the first 10 or so minutes but slowly losing your advantage as your nigger teammates keep afk farming is absolutely soul crushing

whenever I try to reconnect to a game I was disconnected from, that game is glitched and I can't control my hero so have to abandon. Anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?

Why does it only prevent me from properly rejoining games? Why doesn't it just prevent me from playing on other regions in the first place?

>>529054335
nigger if you're fighting against a WD and you're not buying a glimmer as a support or picking a hero that doesn't give a fuck about maledict as a core then what the fuck are you doing
>what if WD deals 3 million pure damage and then maledict deals 40% of that
I will still have the glimmer cape that I made at minute 12

>>529054206
I was kidding, lmao. You can verify your game files I guess

>>529055448
you bastard kek. I've tried searching for solutions but no one else has described the same thing I dealing with so I can't figure out root issue.

>>529057125
You didn't mention verifying your game files on steam which I've just told you to do, hopefully that was the first thing you have done. Outside of that you could reinstall the game, but honestly I have no idea what could be causing that

silencer seems to be the best choice here
see, in heralds, people will chase from t1 to t2 or some other fogged area where you can't see the wd popping his ulti anyway so scepter is useless here. or any stun. silencer is the way it seems lel

>>529053258
Are you sure you can say you are playing League or Dota if you are not playing League or Dota at a high level?

In Dota's lower MMR, and "lower MMR" here can even be classified as anything below Immortal or ancient, people don't know how to finish games, and allow them to go on forever due to lack of interest in finishing the game or simple inability of working together with the rest of the team, so the game drags on forever because of the existence of high ground.

I feel like in Dota the map is so big that people end up getting lost doing a retarded objective like warding somewhere or trying to sneak somewhere or farm something that they miss when they can just end the game by grouping as 5 after one simple bait.

League, however, I feel like can extend to 4 dragons + elder dragon and even 2 barons being killed, which extends the match beyond 35-40 minutes, and since you can't have more than 6 items in your inventory, everyone already finished their builds (except the support) a long time ago, and it becomes a stale game of hit-and-run over and over again, until a new objective spawns and whoever smites it first wins the game.

>>529053258
you just need the enemy team to fuck up and wipe 2-3 times and you comeback from whatever gold disadvantage

>>529059751
silencer also cucks him from casting shard.

>>529060042
I was Master in League, which apparently is 0.5% of the playerbase according to the OP.GG, most League games are 1 side stomps which end by a surrend in 15 or last to about 25 and get ended due to the snowball. I've been playing for years and trust me, I know what I'm saying.
Regarding Dota, well I've switched not that long ago so what I've described are my low elo struggles, I'm Archon rn and I think I can reach Legend fairly soon. The thing is, the games in League last about the same in both Master and Gold. I dont know how it is in higher elo Dota but some anons here say that it's still the same shit no matter how far you go so take the Dota part with a grain of salt

>>529059751
honestly though, that hero is a terrible nu-dota design. op at lower ranks, terrible at higher ranks

>wd
>nudota

>>529053258
pretty right on the money here league is snowball heavy dota is tempo heavy

>>529060467
In higher mmr dota games are shorter, at 9k I seldom have games go above 35 minutes because people know how to end and people know when it's over and not to waste more time

>>529061681
the thing is, I'm new to Dota but I have some deeper knowledge thanks to playing league, so I get really frustrated when the people in my rank don't do tempo plays while I'm not experienced enough to solo carry the game. It's soul crushing

>>529061910
Tell them what to do on the mic, don't order them just give them the general idea of what they should do also pick heroes that can take towers so even if your team decides to farm after a wipe you can get something done solo or you can rat if the enemy team struggles with taking your towers

>>529062182
If you want an interesting read on that, look up OpenAI Five, before making ChatGPT and ruining the planet with AI slop, they were developing neural network Dota bots.
One of their findings was that capitalizing on momentum is the most important factor for securing a win, the perfect coordination between the five bots was the main advantage it had over the human pros. It also led to retarded findings like the optimal laning strategy being to always have the tango effect, just start ferrying tangos min 0 and never end, constantly harass and trade damage to build the slightest of momentum as early as possible.

I am retarded

>>529053258
nu league isn't even a real game but your general point stands. When it was at it's peak the game was the most severe 1v5 game i've encountered unless you count something like counterstrike. If you were the best player in the server from season 2-4 you probably could win 90% of your games. Nu league is the actual most severe 'tempo' game. There is no reason to do literally anything besides wait for a map objective and fight it, it's the most soulcrushing trash game ever, and I was top 1k before I quit on vanguard release. It's dramatically more simple than people realize but they just over complicate the absolute fuck out of basic concepts because it's player base is filled with low iq people.Seeing what they did to something I played for 11 years is quite depressing

>>529062182
Well... I'm a bit 'tistic and I can not, for the love of God, break that barrier of telling my team what to do when I don't know for certain that it's the most optimal thing. They probably have more hours in the game than I do and I always ask myself, maybe they know what to do better than me? I know I should do what you said but that's completely against my character and will. I would do it in League but it doesnt have vc because it would be le toxic or some shit
>>529062442
that looks interesting, thanks anon

>It also led to retarded findings like the optimal laning strategy being to always have the tango effect, just start ferrying tangos min 0 and never end, constantly harass and trade damage to build the slightest of momentum as early as possible.
Sounds retarded but I believe it
No wonder I lose the lane because my nigger core refuses to buy regen or real items while he's fighting against some regen whoring glorified melee creep

>>529063194
A team that goes full retard together is better than 5 people doing different things with no coordination, and if someone speaks up most people will listen even if it's the wrong call, take it from me I've made the mistake of listening to some retard that had the completely wrong idea just like everyone else in the team did but he made the call and we listened
A simple "they're dead push the tower gogo" or "if they buyback go back" or something just so everyone gets the same idea will prevent shit like half the team diving t4s and the others retreating after buybacks most of the time
And even if they have ten times the hours as you they are the same mmr, you shouldn't listen to them unless you want to stay in that mmr

>>529060467
>I was Master in League, which apparently is 0.5% of the playerbase according to the OP.GG,
I remember the first time I hit diamond in s4 it was like .1% and a few years later as it got inflated it went to .2%. Masters being .5% is fucking hilarious, it was bad enough they just kept pandering to the biggest subhuman enchanter abusers or tops with no braincells, but to get master tier to that high % is some comedy shit. Shoutout to that year when everyone just randomly got +1 entire rank because they decided to fuck up mmr and had to softly walk it back

>>529063709
yeah you are obviously right, that's a great advice. I'll try my harder to counteract my tism, thanks anon
>>529064178
yeah the rank inflation is real, Master nowadays means nothing. I think I hit it in season 6 for the 1st time? Might be wrong, anyway I was really happy back then as it was somewhat of an achievement. Now I see no difference between Gold and Master. The game is a shadow of it former self, a lot of amazing content creators have left and it's just a normalfag money milking scheme with 0 soul left. I'm sad and mad that they killed my beautiful game. All my matchup knowledge, the muscle memory, the knowledge of skill cooldowns is going to be wasted, as I feel 0 joy in playing league. I've had a big losing streak in Dota (recovered now, fortunately) and decided to maybe play a game of league after a long break, but the launcher is fucking disgusting. There are like 5 pop ups of new shit to buy and apparently there is a gacha 200 or so $ skin for Morderkaiser. I just sadly closed the launcher.
Not even gonna talk about how fucking useless all the updates are. I remember how everyone was hyped for the new season as they actually changed shit. Now you have 3 splits or whatever and barely anything changes, god damn we are still stuck with this dogshit dragon system. I remember how cool it seemed that they introduced 4 (I think it was 6 but they cut out 2? idk) different dragons giving buffs but now they made these buffs completely useless.

I just wish I've spent all those years on dota but I come from a country where League is more popular

>>529053258
>Once 1 team starts snowballing in League, no matter the rank, it's going to win. Comebacks are extremely rare.
My understanding is that a main contributing factor is the fact that the stat diff between levels is really high so once you get a level over the other team, they'll never be able to catch up or win fights again. Is that still true?

>>529070301
It's probably less true in league than in dota, unless it's a specific hero honestly. Like a hero like jax or darius/olaf can just run u down with no possible way of u outplaying them as they have braindead kits. If the hero was fed as fuck but an adc or mid that can misposition if they are bad it's actually a lot more playable. In dota if your against some hyperfed lifestealer with a mostly magic comp or be builds correctly you probably have even less chance of killing him. Honestly that's probably what got league so popular in the early years, you could be fucking horrible and accidently dodge a key skillshot and it would be a massive outplay

>>529070692
Then why surrender at 15/20 mins if it's not so bad?

>>529070301
Items are less impactful so timings don't really matter yet at the same time the powerlevel of items increase with cost instead of decrease as in dota, leading to games that are decided by whoever gets the early lead.

>>529071074
league has the most failed culture of probably any game i'm aware of. They all have main character syndrome and if they aren't going to carrry they just give up and don't care. Funny enough the worst case of that is korea and its not even close. The excuse they give is it that they are paying for pc time so if they think it's lost by 5 mins they will open mid and let the game be finished by 7-9 mins.
It also doesn't help that those kinds of people draft in a way that's significantly less likely to make a come back, by playing heroes with little to no cc, short ranges and needing to snowball to do damage. It would be quit similiar to most games having undying 3, drow 1 and lina mid. Obviously not everygame is like that but the general concept is quit true. At least in dota if your subhuman team mates want to pick like retards you can build cc items like atos and sheepstick, in league items are basically just damage or buffing, because anything that requires thought is removed.

20 kills on pos 5 is nice, but at the end of the game you're still a lion and one bkb pop turns you into a creep.

I have lost 17 games in a row. In a couple I will admit I did shit, but I swear to god the quality of games I've had this last week is the worst it's ever been

>>529083132
Play normals when you're in the lose queue

isn't it so cool when you get ahead early and can't end by 12 minutes and the entire enemy team builds specifically to fuck you over after getting fed 3 trillion gold by your ""teammates""

What exactly did you contribute that game?

>>529090361
totally secured the safelane and my carry win

put insane pressure on offlane and they never had a chance to get anything going, took 21 minute wisdom shrine and really broke the game with that wisdom push and control, think we full wiped them there

clearly I did have hero damage because I got 7 kills and second most assists, most of it was in the early to mid game, but I fell back at 30 minutes to farm for ac, meanwhile my team just brute forced the game to a win, at the t2s, which is understandable, but isn't a fool proof strategy, so I played it safer

I showed up for high ground push though

As a support, I dislike being leashed by slark's pounce. This is a change that I feel would make my life easier, without being unfair to slark users, might even be a buff, not sure, I don't play core. Maybe it is unfair. Let me know what you think:
>pounce's leash might be broken if the affected unit moves past its radius (much like puck's ult). if that happens, a certain amount of agility is transferred from the affected unity to slark: 10/20/30/40
Other options:
>instead of just agi transfer, it could be all stats, maybe 5/10/15/20
>leashed targets get stolen twice the agi
>maybe agh scepter could also give another purge to slark when the leash get broken
