>>533632618about the same as in the last 5-6 years
you know what rhymes with marci? bbc
>>533633172>traced 3d modelslaffin'
lol at least crowd made some sound when xg stole aegis
>>533637334>beating quinn with void spirit when the hero is dogshit hilarious
>>533638419not vs quinn. they already beat gg 2-0 earlier today.
>pick qop
>destroy mid
>win game
>type "ez mid"
>repeat
I finally figured out DOTA
>>533640648it's dogshit. last time they picked it they lost with a 30k lead.
>>533639504i never understood people who say ez at the end, particularly after a long strenuous game. weird thirdie behavior
lol at the crowd yelling whenever betboom is smoked
>mid dies lvl 3 diving enemy tower
>pings support telescroll
playing mid is mental llness
>>533644369it's a joke, retard.
chinks blow chunks when it comes to dota
>>533632074 (OP)looks like Marci superiority led to some controversy
How do you win mid against this purple nigger?
>>533649997By default, he's trash
>do below average in the game (but not that much, 5/8)
>didn't grief
>played utility, stunned in the right time, helped make plays
>get zero commends after we won
People in this game are something else.
Oh and one of the problem was that I didn't jump SF (magic, with euls) as a Storm because the backup wouldn't arrive in time ))))))))))))))))))))))
>>533649997He's solely picked because Puck exists otherwise he's not good. Certianly not in the top 5 or even 10.
>>533641317>>533640648I understood it as a niche NP counter, but I guess Pure was the Hoodwink poster all along.
In a world where we're removing piercing and increase "can't be dispelled" Nullifier continues to exist solely to remove Ethereal and little else.
There needs to be a lot more that can be dispelled by Nullifier.
>>533650464Now do this in a stack group and watch yourself get reported by the fags who want to blame you for making the game take longer
>>533651094It dispels every save item and some save spells, what else would you want it to dispel
>>533651030I think he just likes it and because they owned so hard game 1 they just picked something they wanted to play. Bad idea.
>>533651094It works against force staff, euls, aeon disk too.
>>533651261At least a party report only counts as 1.
My philosophy of reporting is that the only people that should be reported are the ones griefing and being toxic in chat and mic. I don't think people having a bad game should be reported and I guarantee I got a report this game because I didn't play to someone's liking and we were losing a bit.
At least my score bounces back to 12k since I carry most games but it's such an ass system. Since people in lower behaviour scores are worse in behaviour the system probably does it's job but I still hate it because it can be biased.
If I start picking Puck that I can't play well and want to learn for 50 games I guarantee my behaviour score would be like 8k because of reports.
>>533650937isnt he bad against silence, how can he fuck pucj
>>533651463He's picked it a few times recently, but every time it's been against pos 1 NP until this time.
>>533651659Does it work on Satanic? Newfag.
The interviewer girl is cute.
is batrider worth learning for my offlane pub pool? he seems cool but 43% winrate is eeeeeh
Why are retards trying to push Hoodwink carry? she doesnt work as one, her bat is much too high.
>>533659330hes not great but 80% of his pub winrate is just nubs not being able to play him
>>533651750I've been working since last sept to get out from 3k. I got as high as 8.3k before troll reporting sent me back into the shadow realm.
The fags at valve will never fix their broken system.
>>533660256no one is doing that but pure and it's not even good, the times they've won with it is because they've just owned in general
>>533660256Half the time I play hood it turns into me just building core because I'm already doing damage and my team is trash, so I transition from utility squirrel into the nutbuster.
>>533651094The item is disgustingly overpowered as it is, it should purge less effects, not more.
>>533660256They are signalling to Valve that her physical build side needs buffs, it was killed when they removed the good facet, reworked her core item gleipnir, and also nerfed the physical builds talents in the same patch
>>533652753imagine if dusa was this hot
>>533651094>makes every defensive support item except lotus orb useless >makes several heroes completely unpickable >"duuuuhhh it shuold be baffed"Kill yourself fucking retard.
>>533662636They should reset the system once a year to give people another chance.
>>533667656what? then no one would care
>>533664263>>533666459>>533651340Does not dispel Shadowblade/Silver Edge or WW Cold Embrace, and it should be a source of Break/Purge so as to actually be useful against heroes that need nerfs (Ench with her R ignoring BKB is fucking retarded).
With a name like Nullifier it certainly doesn't do all that much against the shit you want to dispel/break.
>>533667656Even if they just reset the system after every time they change/update it, it would have been at least fair. Clean slate with a new system.
Instead I've had the fake reports piled high ever since beta when you just spammed comms report to troll people into being muted forever.
>>533668630Why do you want it to do everything, you should be thankful it dispels Glimmer as is considering it's already covered by True Sight

>>533679926>>533670409Because there should be counterplay that isn't "hope you brought dust bro"
Until dust gets it's own slot invis shit will always be toxic based solely on the fact that you deny the enemy an item slot.
>>533684018Did you just start playing the game this year or something?
>>533681794yeah he farms a bit too fast and safe, just like sven
Lol so I can lose behavior score for calling niggas monkeys while people can purposely grief game's with no consequences

>>533697726I'm a believer that most people enjoy playing hoodwink desu
>>533697726Hoodwink is one of the most fun heroes in the game, it's a shame she's kind of bad this patch
lol i guess people are now going to take this trash ass matchmaking seriously now since a pro/big streamer is now talking about how awful it is
>>533694071I'm one of the many types of players that doesn't want my ears bleeding with screaming in the mic in spanish or portuguese and seeing the chat flooded with JAJAJAJAJAJAJA all game from a 0/10 retard from south america
>>533702114So mute those players and report them if you think they're really annoying. You really shouldn't even turn voice on in a pub until the game has proven itself stable. You've got a whole game of Dota 2 to worry about but you're too worried on what, losing the game before its over by focusing on your teammates speaking Portuguese?
>>533702039Absolutely 0 chance you're an immortal draft players. Arteezy and his ilk are reaping what they've sown. Immortal draft as it exists, only exists because of people like him bitching and moaning to Valve. Now they don't like it.
can you find the secret vg dota chat?
why is all the hoodwink porn gross furry futa shit
can't i just fuck a squirrel like a normal guy
>>533702484This. Funny enough Arteezy is one of the main reasons high rank Dota is such a cesspit. He was a huge presence in the early days of Dota and was hard on the "I'M BORED, AFK." and other such stupid shit.
>>533702305Yeah, and nothing ever happens when they feed, spam, and grief the game.
>>533702664Very little of it is futa though
>>533702827share cause i guess im looking in the wrong common areas
>>533703029>like 600 pics of Hoodwink found>less than 30 are futaWhere are you looking?
>>533703430Nothing on gelbooru and only 400 ish on r34, am I just in the wrong zones?
>>533702664more like why does she have way too many human features in all her art

Parasma is so disgusting on OD lol.|
I have perfected eyeballing autoattack + R treshold to kill a pos 1. Often they think they're jsut taking a poke attack but in reality Parasma is gonna amplify R and nuke 3/4 of their HP.
In late game this mistake costs 1 min death. I also built Shivas for first time, it's probably good as well.
>>533703861okay half these are on r34 but
>>533704658kinda yeah its like yeah its furry but can i also not get all the furry shit with it? the sfm/model stuff is kinda okay
>>533702664sorry that proved too harmful
>>533705769Sure a lot of them are on r34 too but the tagging is a lot better on e6, just disallow futa and whatever other shit you dislike

always feels great when you outplay your counterpicks
>>533713686Did your core pick am after you picked wisp? He kind of griefed you
>>533714089He was lastpick, I picked 1st phase. We also had a qop, it was not fun trying to catch up to them.
At least the pos 3 was my nigga and picked underlord for the innate and we reverse spirir break charged on anyond daring to show up on the map or legion trying to duel people.
>>533714906>He was lastpickHe picked AM into lc and bara? Was he trying to lose?

>>533743984no one has ever said that
>don't build nullifier
>lose
oops lol
How many games on average do you actually feel like *you* win? As in, you specifically made the difference.
>>533752031Every game. I'm the only one that bothers to prioritize taking objectives over brawling.
Watching replays there's many times where my team is 3-5k nw over the enemy team and I don't realize that during the match and play like a scared bitch.
>>533754175Try to make a habit of looking at everyone's items throughout the game.
I like how they still commend me after playing like this. Apparently just for the novelty of seeing such a thing.

unless you're an ugly turbomanlet, you must quit this game
>>533760951>2k hoursprobably quit cuz bad
>>533760951Only pussy bitches stop playing competitive games
>lose 4v5 because techies
>the techies says LOOK MY DAMAGE
>>533763015>>533760951I quit comp games for like 6 months and was just bored, ended up spending 1000x more on games and just never played them beyond the first 2 hours outside of a few exceptions. Gaming is just boring against the CPU.
hope china wins this so they get at least one tournament this year
>>533766161I hope china wins so the tournament looks rigged
>>533764768Well? Did you look his damage?
>>533768550Qop sf np in all roles
>>533768943Surely there's more heroes that does shit.
>>533768460There needs to be another column titled "damage that actually matters". Techies would have 10k DTAM and 50k random bomb damage.
>>533769881So shaman or lion does nothing? If you have no sf qop np in your team you lost the game?
>>533770708Shaman is alright but not amazing, there are better supports
Lion is literal dogshit
If the enemy has more sf qop np than you you most likely lost
The pub hierarchy is qop > sf > np > powergap > axe > db
Marci carry playing right NOW
>>533770908Well damn qop is my fav hero. Why did she go so high up in stock?
>>533771549She just deals too much damage
i hate this all pick picking order so much it's unreal
blindly pick and roll the dice, wins become super fucking random, you counter the other guy you win, he counters you you lose, very cool
>>533771549infinite damage
infinite mobility
and now with the bondage faucet
infinite survivability
>>533772874doesnt seem that random at all
>>533773015>not random>blind pick 2nd phase, enemy offlane picks pudge, my carry picks jugg>suffer a loss as the pudge levels flesh heap, stand there and takes 0 damage from spin and right clicks him for 200dmg min 5>be forced to camp 4 heroes on that lane or risk pudge taking over the game, now the enemy mid and carry farm for freecomplete diceroll, free win simply because he accidentally picked a counter, it is always like this
>>533773221nothing random about what you described there and if you need more security with your team mates then you have the power to queue with others you trust
this is a big (You) problem
>>533743984>5'4", bald, and autisticWell guess it's another 1000 hours in Herald queue.
Reminder that the upcoming event will include loli pugna
>>533773569>duuuuh just befriend the FUTURE random you'll get assigned in your soloq gameyou are beyond fucking retarded
>>533773569just won a 17 minute game because i picked beast master against an enemy team that had next to no aoe, i did not play any better than usual, i simply won because i picked lucky
>>533774965try and make some friends anon
>>533775090the enemy failed to provide an aoe damage dealer with their draft
that isnt luck, that is just people being dumb
>>533775204they couldn't have known, i drafted second, the carry did try to remedy it with shadow fien, but 1 hero is not enough
>>533775361>shadow fiend open in last pickHow?
>>533772993>infinite damageCool story
>>533775361>they couldn't have knownwhat? they can see their own picks

Did you ever manage to convince a friend to play this? Because I give up.
This is the third time that this has happened. Dota is a lonely road.
neta shapiro is so fucking shit
>>533777359All they had to do was not get slammed in semis.
>>533778060Used to play on my alt account with my friend, I picked shit I wanted to practice and the games were fine as the mmr difference wasn't too bad.
Valve banned that account because smurfing triggers shitters so I can only play on my main which is about 6k mmr above my friend, so the games are always unbalanced shit.
Why are high mmr players so persecuted by Valve?
Questionable decisions by Tundra
Maybe Tidebound is just good? 3 ex Wings players (including coach), Planet is good, NTS has been a strong mid for years, Shiro is uneven but has excellent games. they just got better
>>533778465we're both on 4k range, so that isn't a problem
maybe we are just that unlucky, i have no idea
>>533777359tidebound have been consistently better than XG for a long time now.
>>533778809Tundra has been very hit or miss ever since they lost dyracho too.
>>533778809They're not bad but I'm surprised they're in finals, they haven't had good playoffs... I want to say ever?
XG is going the way of rtz though
>>533778809These are their results.
They're not bad, they have beat Betboom, Spirit, Falcons for example. So they're good enough to sometimes beat top teams but so far it's been at most 1 or 2 good wins per tournament.
>>533776062>aghs daggerWorst qop ability in the world. Imagine the old aghs upgrade that lowered sonic wave cooldown and increased damage than this "poison dagger" upgrade.
>havent played in month
>queue up
>my carry is a guy i avoid on 5-10 different accounts all named by the same name
>dies once
>buyback and feed
Yeah i wonder why i didnt play
>>533779342I think XG's perf this tournament is due to having two stand ins filling in the support roles. Ame still has moments where he shines but unless he gets in an european team I doubt he's ever going to make it to finals again
>>533779754I think Tundra have dropped a few series to tidebound before too. they're probably peaking right now, like Spirit peaks around EWC/TI time
the honeypot tournament theory might be true
>>533780032I don't believe you
>>533779924I think people get it to farm. Doesn't it just one shot neutral camps?
>invoker
tundra is 0-3 with it this event
Only Crystallis insists with playing Abaddon core. It never works
>>533781586Nightfall also
>>533782107I don't know why they do it. He really seems like worse lifestealer
>>533782189It sometimes looks really good. Like you're just annoying and unkillable. But you need other heroes to do damage.
>giving bzm invoker
gg go next
>>533783601it's abaddon carrying
Damn they actually clawed it back
tidebound had like 10k lead 13 minutes in
has crystallis even played a real carry?
>>533785015EU carries only play gimmick potm heroes instead of learning to master morphling, TA and tb which is why CIS carries are lapping them
>>533786739fotm* flavor of the month

>>533811798>>get told post match IDs showing where I get trolledIn what context? Did you go to steam support to whine about being "trolled"?
I'm going to become a meepo player. I just got done demoing the shit out of him. I feel sorry for my Ancient teammates for the next 10-15 games. Anyone got some item build tips? Like specific deviations you should make against certain heroes? Right now I'm thinking atos vs the spirit brothers and blink vs stuff like QoP or AM. When is it good to skip/not skip aghs?
>>533813432>atosJust get blink and aghs, maybe a diffusal first
>5 game finals
When did that last happen?
Is Gorgc seething now because Topson has started to stream during his hours and is way more popular than him?
>>533812467No, it was on the community hub, one of two places any tickets direct you to because Steam Support does not handle Dota 2 issues.

I can just tell some people don't like babysitting on mic but if you don't want me to micro you when the game becomes 40+ minutes you should have been born with a higher IQ.
Also, I ruined enemy's 16 prediction streak.

>>533802989>it's especially good if your 1st item is a farming item like bf for AMI've tested exactly this multiple times and it doesn't make a difference. Bf then boots isn't faster than Boots then BF, except when you experience zero harassment in lane.
However I do often getting cornucopia, then boots, then the rest of BF.

>>533881894So just play on my laptop with VPN?
>>533881953yes that would be for the best
>>533881894I also don't immediately believe this because people bypass hardware tracking anti-cheats in all sorts of games. Surely there's a way. The unique identifiers I can find so far on Linux are your MAC address, IP, your hostname, and something called a "Machine ID" which you can edit with the notepad. Do you know of some other way Valve can track me?
>>533882129Steam checks your hardware ID
>>533882795That doesn't seem to actually be a thing on Linux, from what I can tell. The closest would be the "Machine ID."

You don't go from complete shit to carrying your team, you go from "complete shit griefing that causes your team to lose" to simply "not preventing your teammates from winning".
Keep it up though. It's a great feeling having a hero like Meepo you can bust out in the right draft.

At the end of the game if I'm annoyed I just call them all bots because they're at the same rank as I am with thousands of more matches, they shut up quickly. Of course, the only reason we even lost the game is because I picked a new hero on mid and didn't carry the entire game with 30 kills at the end, since I'm seemingly the only human constant in the past 100 games I played.

>stomp shitters

>you're allowed to stomp shitters if you grief normal players first
Explain this
>>533935173account buying is a direct product of smurfing
>>533936581People would still smurf if account buying was actually punished. Having an alt account to play with shitter friends or try out new heroes on is completely fine but for some reason it's punished unlike account buying and paying someone to boost your account.
Smurfing is one of the reasons there no new blood in dota. Not the main one but one of the contributing factors nonetheless. If you want to play with your shitter friends, queue unranked on your main account and if you want to try a new hero, once again just play unranked until you feel confident. Total smurf death
>>533937172Shitters with 10k+ hours is the actual reason, new players don't want to be matched with subhumans that think they can insult someone for being new despite being 1k mmr after literal years in the game.
>>533937345As I said, smurfing is not the main problem for new players but it's still a bad thing. Just paly on your main account, nigger
>>533937779I'm forced to play on my main account, unfortunately that means I can't play with my friends as the unranked matchmaking shits itself if the mmr difference is too big. I had an alt account where I picked heroes I never play and heroes in unusual positions but that one got banned because shitters get upset when they're reminded that people better than them exist.
Valve doesn't want people to play with their shitter friends, which is another reason the game is dying. It's impossible to get your friends into this game as you can't play with them without the matchmaker punishing you.
>>533936869>People would still smurf if account buying was actually punished.account buying is punished all the same as smurfing
>Having an alt account to play with shitter friends or try out new heroes on is completely fine but for some reason it's punished unlike account buying and paying someone to boost your account.its too easily abused, like it is now to generate accounts to buy
Funny how the Deadlock general is just as slow as the Dota 2 general.
Smurfs are not really a problem in my shitter rank (archon) I feel. From the 200 ranked games I have played (I came back after years) I feel there were maybe 3-5 sus players, usually mid that were just way too good at laning/spell casting, rotations, etc and their steam profiles were new and didn't have their data in opendota. Maybe there are more but don't tryhard at all unless needed but I doubt it.
Now Divine does look awful, for other reason, I have a friend there and it seems every games has someone who probably brought an account.

Total shitter death.
>>533942667sure two people with zero dota2 experience may be a different levels of skill

there being literally 0 communication INFURIATES me. All you have to do is a blog post saying "were cooking, expect a patch/pass around x date"
Not only would it shut up all the whiny people asking for the pass every single week, but it would build hype.

Theres fresh sorapoi and this general is dead.
Don't make a new thread.
>>533960907damn wish I was black so I could compete
Is playing offlaners from behind literally impossible if the enemy doesn't throw?
>>533966031depends on your pick. if you're playing pos3 viper don't expect an easy comeback
>>533962368post it nigga.
>>533966602I played Axe. It was not easy to get good calls, and the ones I did nobody followed up on me.
The other game I was playing Centaur, it was even more difficult.
>>533957606I kind of hope so, I have no team I'm really into this year and China winning would be good for the health of the game
>>533972334You know I was gonna say fuck China but you're right, if they win one maybe more chink teams will care
My friend said Jungler is making a comeback that true? I like mechanics in Dota more than LoL but hate laning
>>533974148No one except retards and griefers jungle
>>533974148Jungling was de jure removed from the game because it's not fun to watch in esports.
>patch this week
Feels good
My dad said the patch is coming out on Wednesday
>>533974242>>533975160Dotanator jungle Enigma goes crazy thougheverbeit. You can try it. I think Veno is maybe okay still too but not as much impact.
>>533975615Youtube videos are made by thirdies on smurf accounts. Anything works for them.
>>533976071Dotanator is always playing on his main in 9k-10k mmr and you can very easily check this by using the opendota combos feature.
>>533976193>9k-10k mmrso deep in the mariana trench then
>>533976268Better than everyone in this thread besides like 6 posters.
Shadow fiend is a fair and balaced hero
>>533976419specially in safe lane with a babysitting support.
and specially against melee.
>>533972926The problem is there's no new blood in China, their teams are full of old players. Chinese kids would rather play mobileslop. I'm rooting for Tidebound to win TI since that team is basically the old Wings.
>>533976349I'm one of those :)
Also jungle is dogshit against any competent team, you cripple one of your lanes for no real benefit. It's better to have a farmed core and a leveled support than underleveled and underfarmed core and a jungler
Jungle veno from three patches or so ago was a literal grief pick, wow you got a farmed veno and a pos 3 with 0 farm what a great tradeoff
>>533976725I don't think anyone is calling it the most optimal strategy.
>>533976828it's not just suboptimal you tard it's literally griefing. if you refuse to learn to lane then just pick skywrath or something and mash buttons
>>533976997Didn't look like griefing
