Does /jp/ play Defence of the Shrines?
I play it now and then.
But it's hard to find games, either it takes 30+min to get a full game or you're against a 5man premade.
Waiting for the translation to get better before I play more.Still more fun than putting up with fucking Zet.
I've never seen the appeal in MOBAs so no.
I would if I had friends to play with. The game has a decent following in China and Russia I think, but getting a game up on NA servers is impossible unless you have a lot of friends.
I just got to play two games in a row in US east with mostly the same people. First one was a 4v5 but was close dispite of it. Second one we kinda rolled them.
It was fun, i wish us east lobbies were more common.
I'd if it got official servers. Main problem is knowing what the fuck every item does though, it's such a bother.
I used to play it on Warcraft 3, but I don't really like the dota 2 version.
>>14604344
What changed?
>>14604304
What? Why is your MMR relevant to play a touhou custom game?
I play 3v3s with my friends sometimes, but they usually play Ability Draft and aren't as into DotS as I am.
Moba is the worst genre ever created.
It's pretty embarrassing that people on /jp/ unironically use the term moba.
How can DotS have 94k ratings but yet there's 50 people max playing it at any given time?
;_;
>>14604828
not him, but dota 2 looks and feels like garbage, even compared to wc3. all they needed to do was update battle.net and allow you to change keybinds and wc3 would still be superior today.
back to hon for me.
Every time I get into a game more than half the people leave.
The worst part of ASSFAGGOTS is easily the players themselves.
If you can prove to me that there is somehow an untainted oasis of human beings that don't deserve slow painful deaths playing it then I will began writing my draft to the Nobel committee.
>>14607799
What kind of pairing is that?
>>14607799
I don't let assholes get to me and ruin my game. But, That is a non issue for playing defence of the shrines, if anything leavers and the lack US lobbies are more of an issue for that.
Why does it matter what server you use?
I'm from Australia and I play on US West servers for normal dota without issues.
>>14607988
Custom games are hosted on another player's machine so lag is alot worse than it it were on valve's servers. Only popular custom games get dedicated server support.
>Not being at least 4k mmr
What are you, a casual?
>>14607823
A shit one, like all of them
The problem is to actually find any games.
And when you actually find a game it will be filled with 90%Russians only speaking Russian(If you play on a EU server that is)
>>14607823
Alice is probably the 2hu people pair the most with all kind of 2hus, so that's why you can see weird parings like this.
>>14608021
http://www.dotabuff.com/players/161368849
How come my MMR chart says "Not enough data for this time period."
Yes, I'm trash but I was 1.4k mmr and now I'm 3.2k mmr.
>>14608021
4k is casual. Very casual.
>>14603744
I just noticed her starting int.
Sure OP, but good luck finding players. The last one I had was only a 2v2, and ratting easily won us the game.
>>14608021
5k is the new 4k
>>14608021
>dipping below 4K for Xmas
>>14605517
DotS' channel used to have 600-900 players in the chat channel, everything went well until some chucklefucks shows up and shilling soku in the chat channel, telling how soku is a superior game compared to the new DotS 24/7 and makes people want to leave the channel. Not to mention there is people like >>14605601 who keeps telling the game is garbage without even mention the flaws that the new DotS does have which could have improves the game.
I swear if I ever get to locate these fucks house I'm going to come to their house and tell their mom to cut their internet off. They don't even know how hard it is for the team to import the fucking map to the another game. Instead of being grateful they always shitting it up, they definitely needs some spanking for that.
>>14610354
And I'm chilling out at 1.8K MMR.
I have no idea if you faggots are talking about actual dota or the mod, but I wish you'd all die either way.
>>14610383
>mention the flaws that the new DotS does have which could have improves the game
What?
>>14610554
>>14607799
I like how nearly everyone who always whines on Dota games and such seems so much more toxic than the player base, even if that's what they mostly complain about.
Kind of ironic I would say.
>>14611178
>the people who complain about people being into X are more obnoxious than the people who are into X themselves
This is always the case.
>>14608021
I used to be 4200. It fucks me up because I wanted to be good enough to play in NEL but Ive never been that good, and I dont live in the US or Europe.
A-any /jp/sies wanna play dots?
>>14612360
There's a US West game up right now.
>>14612380
It was made after my post, I just joined that one.
>>14612386
So few players joining the lobby.
Such a shame there's so few people playing this game.
Come on /jp/, theresa 6/10 us west lobby waiting for you.
>>14612468
Yeah, i always feel kinda depressed when waiting this long for a full lobby.
>>14611460
>NEL
Whats that?
Did the fucking host leave the game?
>>14612544
North American Elite League.
It was an inhouse league you had to be good enough/vouched to play on. There was also EEL which was the european counterpart.
>>14612550
Seems like it...
It feels like you have to wait for a lobby to be full before starting the game, it's always someone who leaves.
>>14612571
To think two days ago i played for the first time in months and lucked out, got two full games back to back with mostly the same people.
This is depressing.
>>14612570
What mmr do you need to get in?
>>14612587
I dont know, i remember you needed something arround 5k 2 or more years ago. But i think those leagues are dead. Don't quote me on that.
>>14612586
It's so rare to find full games nowadays.
And even if you do find full games, it's sometimes against a 5man stack that "tryhards".
It's sad...
I want to play DotS with a /jp/sie
>>14612635
Which region would you host on? My internet is too shit to host.
>>14612652
I've never tried hosting a game before but probably US west or east.
>>14612677
That'd work out for me and i assume it would too for the other anon who joined the random us west lobby, if he's still arround, that is.
Maaaaaaybe we'll get a full game this time. maybe.
>>14612677
If you do host please host an US East server if you do. That way I can also join as an EU player.
I've been hosting an EU server for like 20-30min and not a single person has joined.
>>14612693
>>14612695
Damn. Would people still want to play for tomorrow? I could try hosting then.
>>14612591
>>14611460 here, NEL had a ~5000 MMR or top of IXDL-O (open inhouse league) requirement to get in. NEL and IXDL-O have since closed, and FPL replaced it. Unfortunately, FPL is marketed to everyone, so it's just the same as matchmaking in terms of the people you play with and against.
There is this though which is closer to the original NEL: http://nadota.com/showthread.php?37065-New-Ihl-1-500-Prize-Pool-Month-of-January
>>14612729
I'd be down for that. I usually play custom games at night.
We could also just make a /jp/ chat channel under the custom games catergory.I actually made it last night and just remembered
>>14612738
That would work. What's the specific name for it?
>>14612757
It named it /jp/ so anyone could find it.
>>14612760
Ok cool. I'll join in later.
Fuck.
That feel when I'm in Australia and when I'm available to play everyone is sleeping.
Is there any 2hu in dots that is flat out broken/unplayable?
I played yuyuku a long time ago and all i remember is that you get free teamwipes if you get your ult off.
All i really do is support and roam as tenshi/eirin.
>>14613043
Is your ingame name 'Handsome'?
Im in New Zealand.
Any DotS with /jp/sies happening tonight?
>>14616438
I'd like to play if we can get some people from /jp/ tonight.
>>14616569
I'm hoping >>14612729 shows up along with the other 2/3 anons who were in the thread last night.
played earlier and fed as rumia and contributed nothing
sorry if I was in your game anons
>>14615468
koishi and yuugi are preeeetty powerful
not sure if you could say broken though
We got some anons here tonight. Theres a /jp/ chat channel you guys should join so we can try to get a game going
>>14607799
Not everyone that plays a moba is a terrible person. Occasionally you'll find a player who legitimately sounds like a nice person, and at worst, the people who don't care about winning or losing and don't want to get yelled at stay quiet and keep to themselves.
The point is moot anyway, you don't play a moba for the community, you play it because every match is different from the one before it. The randomness element akin to the human interaction you get daily on the internet is what makes this genre of game interesting, not the people going "mid or feed".
I stopped playing a while ago though because this shit is literally more time-consuming than anime. Instead of doing useful things like learning something new, I was playing dota for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week like a crack addict. Jumped ship before it got too bad, and I don't recommend it to anybody.
>>14616631
Gonna join that, thanks
Can't play tonight though
>>14616614
Rumia is a feeder!
>tfw can't even get enough /jp/sies to start a game
>>14616730
I'll play tomorrow, anon!
>>14616730
Not even a 3v3?
>>14616776
Not even a lobby was hosted. i would host but my internet is shit.
>>14616777
I'd host and play but I'm at work. And I live in North Dakota so I imagine nobody would connect well.
>>14616730
1v1 solo mid
>>14616795
I'm bad at laning in dots, all i do is support/roa with tenshi adn eirin.
>>14616797
Taking support solo mid is new meta
>>14616797
I can respect that since I haven't a single clue at how to properly play Dots. I only know Dota.
There's a us east lobby up.
I won't play unless Eiki is in.
>>14616824
Eiki is in the game.
>>14616828
Alright I'll download dota.
suwako when
>>14616833
How long would that take you?
>>14616882
Like 3 days
>>14616886
>>14616901
Yeah, I know.
>>14610383
>I'm going to come to their house and tell their mom to cut their internet off
you are so cute :3
I'll play as long as everyone is actually chill and not getting upset because they lose or someone does poorly.
>>14616927
Chill bro, we just want to be cute 2hus.
Well, it's too late for me now. I'll play tomorrow, hopefully some more /jp/sies show up.
>>14616927
People tend to be chill and friendly in this game.
Many of the people playing are new players that don't know much about the map, so most people understand that many of the people playing might not be so good and are chill about it.
At least I've never seen anyone being rude or unfriendly, and I've played quite the few matches.
>>14616942
It's sad how hard it is to find players, if not tomorrow more players should be playing on Friday evening/night at least.
I wanna practice a bit. Anyone up to do solos just to practice heroes and check out items?
>>14616964
Is there Roshan or something similar? Jungle creeps?
>>14616971
There's a Roshan(A big fairy I think) and Jungle creeps.
The map is very similar to the regular Dota map but with a different layout.
>>14616971
There is a rosh that drops an aegis and nutral creeps + ancient creeps. The jungle and midlane layout make it so there are many ways to move arround, thats why i like roaming on that game mode.
What i still cant figure out is how to properly farm them. I havent found any good farming items/a good way to sustain in the jungle so killing neutrals early is hp/mana costly.
>>14616971
Yep. Roshan is a goliath doll and acts pretty much exactly the same as rosh normally does.
>>14616986
Just farm the lane? Unless your hero is specifically made to jungle from level 1 any other hero will have a real hard time doing the same.
>>14616992
I'm not talking about straight up jungling.
What i want is to be able to take the jungle resources like a core could in regular dota after getting a couple levels, but all the 2hus ive tried seem to be bad at killing newtrals unless they have one or two big items.
Being limited to mostly lane creeps makes me feel its not worthed farming unless you are pushing or they are near after a fight, since fighting is so rewarding in this game mode.
Think we can get some /jp/sies to play a game later this evening/night?
>>14618835
I'll be here again tonight waiting for /jp/sies to show up.
I usually play custom games arround 9:30pm GMT -5
But tonight's the night! We'll get 10 /jp/sies and play DotS together! I can feel it in my bones.
Anyone playing right now? ;_;
>>14607799
This.
I literally quit dota2 because of the playbase, and I played w3dota + dota2 for 8 years.
I remember playing dota2 with jaypee back in the early beta days. We should play more PC games together, jaypee~!
>>14603744
Valve just waste their devs time to officially fixed DotS in one of their official update but they not make the custom map into one of their dedicated server custom map..
FUCK!
>>14619629
Koishi made it to official patch notes 2015/10/30 , never forget.
>>14619662
Koishi's cuteness keeps breaking games.
>>14607799
It's just a game, man. Relax and go with the flow. You a tryhard or something?
>>14603744
no but I play regular dota
I once queued up with someone from 4chan and he was the filthiest spoken, most obnoxious person I have ever had the misfortune of having in my team
never again
>>14608021
how do you graph this chart? it has a lock button and says "not enough data for this time period" even though it shows 2k+ matches
>>14619755
>tfw queued up with the edgiest three stack that talked about niggers and made orgasm noises
4chan/Reddit needs to go.
Anyone interested to try and make a game happen?
Would be nice if someone could host an US East lobby so we Europoors also can join in.
I'd host, but I guess that nearly everyone playing now is from the US, so it would be really bad for everyones ping if I (from EU) hosted a game.
>>14619770
It's on dotabuff, it's locked to everyone but one's profile.
Also, I think you need to add a bot that is able to check your mmr as a friend
>>14619897
Well well, seems like there's little to no interest to play DotS with /jp/ today.
But I did host a EU lobby if anyone is interested, will probably take a really long time to find players though.
>>14620063
I can't get on right now. I'll be able to play in a coupel hours.
>>14619755
4chan = / = /jp/
2 more for 3 v 3 guys
come on
Fuck me. i fell asleep. is there anyone still playing dots?
I just got home from work but it seems everyone's done for the night.
>>14620865
We are in a 2v2 right now, its about to end. MAybe we can get a 3v3 going.
Finally got to play at least one 3v3 game after hours and hours waiting in the lobby.
Well played and fun game!
We need more /jp/sies to play with!
Is there still a /jp/ channel up? I can't seem to find it. I was hoping to play.
>>14620971
Rough game, Koishi?
>>14621553
Just checked and it's still up.
I'm not sure how it works but I think that someone might have to be in the channel if you're going to join it.
>>14621613
I guess I might be shit out of luck, I don't see it. Well if you guys do end up playing a game I'll keep an eye on the thread.
Friday night DotS. Make it happen.
>>14621993
As long as I can be pit lord
What do I need to play? Does this cost money?
>>14621553
There are 2 /jp/ channels, one under "Custom games" that i made but nobody has joined since and another /jp/ under "User" that has /jp/isies in it.
>>14622044
Dota2 is completely free to play, all you have do is downlaod Dota2 then intsall the custom game mode in the "Arcade" tab.
>>14622263
I've only seen the /jp/ under "User".
Never seen one under "Custom games".
Does anyone know why you can't find those channels sometimes?
My guess is that someone has to be in the channel if someone else is going to join.
It's kind of weird at least.
>>14622339
I have no clue why others can't find it.
I can launch dota so i'm in the channel if you wanna try and see if me being in it will make a difference.
>>14622371
Yeah do that so we can see.
Looking after a /jp/ channel under "Custom Games" now.
>>14622388
Alright, i'm in it right now.
>>14622391
Nothing....
Man, the channel system in Dota 2 is so bad.
>>14622399
Oh, wait a minute, i'm just retarded.
The channel i made was under private. Holy shit i'm dumb.
>>14622410
Well that explains it.
Will try and join in a few hours.
I want to play with /jp/ but I've had bad experiences with DotA.
>>14621559
the only /jp/sies in that game were sakuya and eiki
at least they were the only ones in the channel at the time
>>14623123
Don't worry, /jp/sies aren't dicks unlike some of the people you meet in regular dota.
>>14605601
I agree except for the HoN part, custom maps was the only possibly redeeming factor of dota 2
I'm downloading it now
Anyone playing tonight?
anyone playing right now?
>>14624057
I'm on right now but there's no one else in the /jp/ cahnnel and there are no lobbies up.
>>14624061
How do I find the /jp/ channel? Just finished downloading
>>14624065
Click that and search for /jp/ under the "user" category.
Any games going on?
How many /jp/ers here are actually interested in playing DotS?
Many people are asking about games and such in the thread but the few times I've been trying to set up games max 1 /jp/sie joined.
So I'm not sure none is joining because of badly timed hosted game, or maybe because there's actually too few people here wanting to play. If it's the former we maybe just need to be more organized and plan things better so we can play some /jp/ DotS.
>>14625167
I am interested. I could make a steam group or something. Maybe that would make things easier.
>>14625167
I do believe it's just timing. Different sleep schedules and time zones. That sort of thing.
>>14625178
That sounds like a good plan. With that we could probably also get an estimate of the number of people wanting to play.
>dotards
>>14625222
You showed them!
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/jpdots
Alright there it is. Hopefully we can use this to get games going and be more organized. Worth a shot at least. Feel free to join up.
>>14625248
I'm too shy. I'll keep an eye on the thread though.
>>14625167
I am interested, I've been trying to play with /jp/ for the last 3/4 nights but so far all i got was a 2v2 two nights ago anda 1v1 with a /jp/sie that was completely new to ARTS games so it was mostly him dicking around trying to learn stuff.
B-but tonight's the night, right? Saturday night dots with /jp/!
>>14625903
Today will definitely be the day!
What time are we getting on? 8pm Eastern US Time Zone?
>>14626631
I usually get on dota to play customs around 9:30pm GMT-5
Decent number of people in the group!
I won't be playing until about midnight myself.
Are there any 2hus that are just flat out bad?
And are there any that are straight fucking broken?
>>14626715
ive only played the game once but yuugi seems kinda shit. literally just ape at people and hope they dont know what your ult does
>>14626715
The only 2hus i've played more than once are Eirin and Tenshi, both as roaming supports. They are good, Tenshi brings more damage and stuns to the table while Eirin brings healing and invis for team mates.
I played against Marisa before, every single time they just went full rat doto because her third skill damages towers. She seem's alright.
Only plyed Eiki once before but i liked her. Her ult is Doom with aghs.
>>14626775
She doesn't seem that bad
She can tank through a LOT of hits, and if her passive procs during her ult the other person is instantly dead
She seems mediocre but really not awful
>>14626793
yugi's knock back doesnt count for procing her ult, or at least i think i read something along those lines in the wiki.
Her ult is actually extremely good vs mobile oponentes like Aya.
>>14626715
Kanako is very bad
Enough people joined the group for 3v3s to happen I think. I also got a roomie that would play too so maybe even 4v4.
>>14627047
Oh goodie, we're so close to a full game.
>>14627073
4v4s would be pretty good too
>>14627047
Fair warning, I am not really a DOTA player so I'd probably be holding back whatever team I'm on.
>>14627172
That's fine. I'm sure everyone is chill about it.
I can't imagine someone would seriously be upset in a custom game.
If you end up on my team I could help you as well. I've actually coached a handful of people in Dota.
everybody is busy ;_;
>>14627735
Just give it some time. The group has 9 people in it so yeah it might be hard to get a game going but I'm sure we can make it happen.
everytime I try to find a lobby there are none open
>>14627987
It seems like not many people are here right now. And I'm not sure how popular it is outside of /jp/.
I'm going to walk my dog and then i'll be ready to play dots with /jp/!
Man it has been a loooong time since I needed to learn items. This game seems to have a decent amount.
>>14628030
I'll be home in about 3 hours from work and I can.
In the /jp/ channel, but no one's here
>>14628030
Dog is walked and just hosted a lobby.
We got 3 /jp/sies in a lobby wight now, hoping more show up.
>>14628159
5 in the lobby now!
>>14628203
Fuuuuck I wish I was home.
We just got 6 people and started a 3v3. Hopefully more /jp/sies will be arround for the next game.
Game just started with a 3v3!
>>14628233
Just one more hour and I'll be home
Youmu, Kaguya, and Okuu just got torn a new one last game
Tenshi was 2strok
3v3 is complete, anyone else want to play another?
got 3 here, anyone else?
>>14628364
>>14628374
I'll join if you give me another 5 min.
>>14628374
Is that in the lobby hosted in Nippon? I can't imagine my ping to that.
Thanks for the game guys, hope to do it again sometime.
How the heck am I even supposed to play Okuu, felt like I was supposed to stay in people's faces but i felt too squishy to do that
>>14628395
I was just too fat because i ganked and got kills early. I played okuu once before and had decent farm and was alright. Still lost because youmu got fat tho.
>>14628364
Good shit Tenshi
>>14628401
Youmu here, what does that mean? I thought that was what I was supposed to do? I don't understand most arts lingo
>>14628484
I think he was talking about a different game. Getting fat just means well farmed, lots of gold and items. So yes, you should do that as her.
To the guys in the other game, Wiggle here, your Koishi's last hitting/lane mechanics were way better than mine, but unfortunately Koishi can't really gank and dies to a coordinated team.
Second 3v3 is complete, this time one team had a leaver. Shame.
>>14628527
Poor Koishi.
>>14628527
The yama is a BULLY
He kept counterganking me by hiding in the shadows
>>14628527
Eiki's stun is impressively brutal
It's really sad we can't get full 5v5 games, because Kanako is fun as hell to play, but really a dedicated support.
>>14628541
Ganking is a sin!
Any games going now? I might be able to get myself and one other.
>>14628551
someone hosting one at 4/10 pls join
>>14628551
There's a lobby at 5/10 right now.
Theres a lobby with 4 people tn it btw.
>>14628542
I also had the phone thing that stuns for 1.44 seconds.
>>14628543
5v5s are so much better, i hope we can get a full game some time, so i can properly roam as tenshi/eirin.
Jesus I'm so bad at DotS. I got a lot to learn apparently.
Dead game?
>>14628692
4v4 is on right now
Eiki here. Thanks Sakuya and Koishi for carrying. First game of DotS I played so I was a bit clueless. I need to learn items and how to properly play. I expected more out of myself from playing so much dota 2.
We got a 4v4!
>>14628644
Learning comes naturally from just playing a lot.
>>14628701
>>14628704
I embarassed myself as Rumia. It's really hard to gauge the relative power of a 2hu at any given time.
OH SHIT 5V5 IS GO
>>14628711
You were so scary. It was like anytime you found me as Eiki it was just done. I probably should have built a bit more defensive, or bought wards sooner.
who are these jap hosts pls muh ping
>>14628715
Yeah, but then I kept forgetting you had a gem, and getting chainstunned to death.
Put up another lobby just in case anyone is interested.
Is Alice in this game and is shecute?
>>14628739
She isn't out yet
>>14628722
I was doing so bad I pretty much did my best to either just make sure I get a 4 second stun on you and ult Reimu. That was all I could do.
Everyone left :_;

It worked pretty well. Stopped me from eating your Koishi a couple times.
>>14628782
I tried to make a game, nobody came
>>14628804
There's one up right now with 5.
>>14628541
Welp, started a game of regular dota already.
Got a 5v5 but 7 people left arround 10 minutes in. Shame.

>The guy who was doing the worst stayed till the end
>>14628843
At least half my deaths happened after everyone else left.
Eiki has no health ;_;
Going to try and make some games happen later today(Sunday).
Will probably be sometime around 23.59 CET, so feel free to join.
My last game for the night. Sakuya is a some seriously elegant bullshit though.
You guys think we could somehow add the admin of the touhou steam group and have them make an announcement about DotS or something? It's got 11k members, it would definitely revive it atleast for a few weeks.
Is momiji in this?
If she is, is she any good?
>>14630884
Yes but i haven't played her though you can read always read up on her on the wiki

Anyone up for some DotS today? I'm getting home in about an hour
Would anyone be interested in playing some normal Dota in 4-5 hours? I can play on USW or USE but I'll be a bit laggy.
