I've always wanted to be Tresdin's squire. I always enjoy fantasizing about entering the fountain with her after a long battle and slowly removing her armor, starting at the helmet and making my way down to her boots. The embarrassment I feel doing this in front of other female heroes only adds to the allure of the situation. She sits down on a stool and commands me to kneel down and remove her boots one at a time. "Is that a boner?" Rylai says. Akasha licks her lips, Rylai giggles, and Shendelzare glares at me. I try to cover it up out of embarrassment, but Tresdin kicks my hands away. "You haven't finished yet." I don't understand because I had already removed her armor, but after she gives me a look I realize that she wants me to remove her shoes as well. I take off her shoes and reveal her gorgeous feet, surprisingly soft despite her being a strong warrior, and extremely sweaty. "Lick the sweat off my feet, squire," she commands me. I hesitate for a moment and look over to the other girls. They all start giggling at me and whispering. Then I feel Tresdin's foot forced into my mouth with the other one covering my nose. The smell and taste of her sweaty feet causes my raging boner to grow even more. "Alright, squire, stand up and remove your clothes." Although embarrassed, I take all my clothes off. Suddenly I feel my position swapped with that of Shendelzare. Suddenly I'm lying beneath Akasha and Rylai, who had both taken their boots off, and were pressing their feet against my member. "No," Tresdin said, "He's mine." She runs over and gets on top of me. It's only now that I realize that she's holding Aghanim's Scepter, and I understand that nobody will be able to interfere with us. Her technique gets more and more intense until I am unable to hold back. I cum inside her pussy with the force of a hundred megacreeps. She gets off of me, and as I lay there quivering in pleasure she gets dressed and begins to chuckle. "Only 9 inches? Pathetic."

>>145636734 #
Everyone is good with blink dagger though. EVERYONE. It certainly doesnt hurt anybody's build to give it to them, and its entirely balanced because everyone can get it.
And if you really are just having problems with just Centaur, the way you play the game also factors into his strength. Centaur will traditionally and most likely go offlane against your safelane, and nobody levels Return first because its shit in comparison to Double Edge. So you are probably in a 2v1 possibly 3v1 situation against Centaur. What do you do with this? The support(s) zone the fuck out of him so he cant level or get gold. They pull and still get gold, and he gets his creeps denied as your wave pushes to the towers. You could hit 6 as he does and probably fend off a Centaur who only has Tranquils, a stout shield, some branches, and leftover gold trying to get his blink. You worried your enemy could get too strong or get a big item? Dont let him get it. You can do that with a gank, or denying his farm, or outfarming him until he is a little bitch for you.
The thing with Dota is that you could lose the game from factors you actually had no idea were playing a part in deciding the match. All the little things matter, and a slight change can win you the lane and even the entire game. A lot of the game is learning the intuition to realize and manipulate these factors as the game goes on so everything is in your favor. That is one of the biggest things that seperates Dota and LoL, for better or for worse.
But yea Blink Dagger is good on everyone. Warding also counters a majority of his predictable initiations, blink dagger or no blink dagger.

Okay but I play support often, why as a support wouldn't I go gank mid or put pressure on another lane?
Standing in a lane 3v1 seems fucking retarded just to deny one hero. Most of my wins have been when I ganked everywhere early and was always ready to TP to where I saw a potential kill and we snowballed.
Doesn't it make more sense to put pressure on the enemy hard carry and mid?
Also it's not like his teammates can't gank either. Sure he will be underleveled but so will we if it's 3 people in a lane

>>145638252
You do have a point. If your lane is already locked down and youve warded for the carry, it can be a good idea to try and gank another lane. If your carry is any good at denying then they will beat out Centaur in farming too. Its all pretty situational, and depending on your lineup you could snowball early. If you have a team that relies pretty heavily on the mid-late game and farming, it could be beneficial to secure your carry's lane until he decides to jungle, take the tower, or go gank themselves. Then you have a lane to farm, or a jungle to stack and farm, and room to ward and gank. It all depens on the situation. If your carry is getting bullied out of lane by Centaur then maybe pushing him back out of lane until your carry gets a level advantage or two could really help. If the enemy decides to gank then a ward is all you need to guard against it. Just back off and waste their time. If they can tower dive you, have an ally TP in and counter gank.
It can all come down to situational decision making and relying on your intuition. As for the Centaur engaging on you think, literally any support should have a way to stop him or buy time. Anyone with a stun would do, and also Omniknight. Maybe only Venomancer and Warlock get fucked since they only have slows.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNEDHurricane Pike on WeaverHe can shukuchi into an enemy hero, tag them with the swarm, pop hurricane pike on them and time lapse back 3000 range away. The swarm provides the vision to land his high damage 100% attack speed + geminate autoattacks which now have global range. All the stats also greatly benefit a low stat hero who needs attack range. Add in blink dagger and build glass cannon items like daedalus and you become the artillery

This is the most fucked up inbred group of idiots I played with and against in the past while
It's around 4.5k mmr as you can see and this tinker played like a new player, kept saying on mic that it's his first tinker game and yelling random shit all game, relentlessly feeding. He has 60 hours in dota but 4500 mmr, how? He also has average 270 gpm and mostly losses
How can a bought account have so little hours?
Alchemist was the typical useless fuck alchemist who can only farm and feed
The pugna kept decreping people I blinked on and hardly bought vision against riki, and yet his mmr is 4700
The ES was okay aside from a few mistakes and bitching all the time
The enemies were pretty fucking bad too, I could easily 1v5
Is this because of the hours or what

I agree overall with your point and I don't think Blink is overpowered, but this is a bad argument. The item could force all strategies to revolve around it and trump all other similar items (an example would be Flash in LoL).
What if Morphling could replicate himself?
I can run Dota2 on 1920x1080 with game render on 100%, textures on high, shadows on med and animated portraits at 40-50fps. What more can I turn on to make it look better but not suffer too much FPS loss.

This one was a result of miscommunication and a misplay from PLD, if he didn't micro his hero next to tiny (wanted to get off a quick ball burst on furion) EE would have tossed the furion.

Are you 2k mmr or something?
I'm so fucking triggered right now.
I pick Sven, go with a Kotl safelane.
Our opponents turn out to be none other than Viper and Witch Doctor. Fucking great, we can't do shit in this lane. Except Kotl thinks we can, Kotl keep mana leaking them as they stand still. Kotl keeps wanting me to go in. Bounty comes bot to gank, so I decide fine, guess what fuckin happens that's right Viper gets a double kill because LOOK AT IT GO and his passives. I tell Kotl to play safe and stack and what's he do, he fuckin mutes me and refuses to help all game, won't stack, won't give me mana, just ignores me.
So I just farm, I farm until I have bkb sny and blink and get a triple and take two fuckin towers. Is Kotl impressed, no, he's just bashing me for fucking farming. Well believe it or not we fucking lost, mostly because Elder Titan kept landing absolutely beautiful stomps followed by bounty immediately rick clicking them, or the marvelous times Kotl blinding lighted them out of his ult's kill line.
It's Viper Ember WD Naga and Necro, so I build a fuckin Linkens because if I get rooted in place I die, I try so fucking hard, get a 4 man wipe, save for buyback, does my team of course not, enemy team did. So as I'm killing the last tier 4 they all buyback and my team all dies and I have to 1v5 and that goes over swimmingly as soon as my bkb wears off.
I'm just so goddamn triggered. Sorry for blogposting but god fucking dammit. If Bounty and Kotl hadn't been such shitters I am positive we could have won. He sabotaged my farming and I still had over 600 gpm.
Still might have been able to save it had my buyback not been on a 1:30 cooldown.
I don't even want any feedback I just needed to vent. Actually, there is one thing, I got kited super fucking hard by this lineup. What could I have done differently build wise to help against this? Manta Style instead of SnY? Heart instead of Satanic? Just forgo blink entirely?

Believe me, you get teammates that you wish would just disconnect so you can get the bonus gold and try to 3v5. When the enemy mid is 5-0-1 and the enemy safelane is 3-0-3 each, and you get five man ganked and towerdived, there's no coming back. You may think shitters at 4k are shit, but you ain't seen feces like this before. Unless you pick a snowballing mid and gank the FUCK outta erebody you will run into games where your team feeds uncontrollably before laning ends, cries in allchat, afks in fountain or worse yet, continues feeding till they spend more time dead than alive.

can someone post that picture of the 4 quadrant graph where heroes are placed and the x axis is winrate and y axis is how likeable the players playing the hero usually are
>>145646473
It doesn't matter how farmed the enemy gets because they're all braindead
I've played these games on numerous occasions (thanks party stacks) and if the core player is the lowest mmr it's the easiest game of my life.

Dotards?
>>145646560
Top 99.8%. I like to put wards around mid as soon as it's night, that way I can see their wards, but they can't see mine.
Missed me?
>>145646664
Just watch ingame ya dumb retard
>>145646549
Even when you do, a dedicated 5 man gank will kill you because it's only 6 minutes in and the enemy axe has been fed so much he has a blink dagger. So unless you have a tp scroll enjoy that death while they escape with 200 hp between the 5 of them as your team continues to miss last hits and auto attack the lane.
>>145646604
>>145646583
I believe you, but you don't have to play entirely with randoms. Get 4 feeders against 1 feeder and 3 shit players and 1 okay player and you'll lose unless you went TA or Invoker mid and stomped that and then went and stomped the other lanes to make up for how much your feeders have fed.
It's a dark and terrible place, sub 3k. Every 10 games you get a smurf who goes mid and absolutely destroys the other team no matter how bad his team does. Just went up against an Invoker that I could have sworn was scripting, he was at least 5k.
Threadly reminder that despite being a few years old and apart from a few outdated points, this video's criticism is still on point

I'm 9 minutes in and everything he said so far is correct.
>>145646842
>When you do proc, the percentage resets
Is this true? If you go 10 hits without a crit, is it reset completely, or just lowered by however much a crit is?
Holy fuck I get 130FPS in any dota match
but when there is that Tinker fucking immortal in the game
and I *see* it once my FPS for rest of the match is 70fps
what the fuckk

come home white man
>>145647371
The way pseudo ring works is if you have 15% chance to crit, you have an 8% chance to crit. Everytime you don't land a critical hit your chance to get a crit increases to 11% then 16% then 22% and so on and so forth increasing at a semi exponential rate until you land a critical strike, and which point your crit chance resets to 8%.

Given that pros such as Puppey dislike the RNG and map asymmetry present in Dota, I'd say it's a problem.
>win 10 in a row
>lose 6 in a row

Well lets see
Vengeful spirit is a trash hero, never pick
Phoenix is a trash hero and max sunray is a meme
Warlockk mid? I don't know how that expects to win a game
TB is illusion right clicker and is hard countered by aghs laser spam
Really the problem is the 2 supports picked trashcan heros, and everything snowballs from there
got the ursa challenge/set on path of the warrior redoing the last hit challenge with slark. gave me 3 stars too.

No lies, there's a video floating around of him (actually it might have been Kuroky I don't remember) casting a game where a Chen got screwed by jungle camp spawn rng and then lost.
>wake up
>Demon is now playing with seamonkeys
What did he mean by this?
guys I'm starting to dislike blink dagger now
It's not OP but it kind of stifles positional play, makes the entire game about who can blink where first. like flash in league. i've seen games where 8/10 heroes get blink, it's boring to watch.
>blink is core on everyone
just add a 1/10th of total mana cost to blink, that way a str support with 400 mana once he gets it will only need 40 mana to blink, but a big ass mana pool int core will need more. and by late game the mana cost will be insignificant anyway
>>145648292
When Blink had mana cost it absolutely buttfucked the entire pool of STR heroes that wanted blink but legitimately couldn't afford the manacost.
>>145648292
The whole point of Blink Dagger is to prevent having to give every single hero their own "dash/blink/etc." It's why it gives no stats, costs 2k+ gold, and takes up an item slot.
How viable is this if attempted in a real game?
Real talk /d2g/
I am scared shitless when the enemy picks Anti-Mage.
Last game I was QoP mid and had 6-0 at 10 mins in, I rush sheep so I can lock him down but it seems like my teammates had absolutely no idea what to build. Our jungle ursa made a daedalus as his first big item instead of abbysal, so naturally we got rekt due to am splitpushing all day erryday.
Our slark died endlessly against timbersaw (no surprise here, fucking OP hero) while our void kept winning his lane 1v2 top.
Is there anything I could've done to prevent this?
Do you advise your team beforehand what to build in cases like these?
>>145648665
if enemy has AM just trash the other 4, AM isn't effective until 25 minutes to the game and that's with at least 500GPM+
>>145648596
I'm genuinely confused, here
>>145648596
>items on fkeys
>>145648704
That's what I did. See those WR, bounty and Drow deaths?
It's because I was hunting them. Not to mention that we took ALL of their outter towers 20 mins in.
I just don't know anymore
post your favorite item or you will be 2k forever
>>145648596
Drop the BoTs and Pike and pick up two more rapiers in fountain.
As for viable, not really. The opponent has a VERY long time to do something such as:
1. Use blademail (to kill you if they have much less networth anyway)
2. Euls
3. Ghost Scepter
Literally every professional player in EU is playing in EU E or RUS server.

Any tips for my new waifu?
I'm trying to send an illusion to stack a jungle camp every minute. what's the general skillbuild to go for? Ensnare seems too useful to pass up but I need riptide and better illus to clear stacks.
>>145648426
i get that, but the point is that even though it has those downsides, it's STILL core on everyone. even a flat 25 mana cost would be better than what we have now, 75 is straight-up icefrog tho
>>145649025
^reported you fucking imbecile kill yourself
>>145649025
>and game knowledge
and is playable without proper game knowledge
>>145649056
>even a flat 25 mana cost would be better than what we have now,
lolno
it used to ahve 25 mana cost and it was fucking trash on any but int heroes
wat gonna happen to aui now?
>>145648596
why does faceless void get to have a BETTER time lapse on 6 cooldown for 40 mana cost at level 7
but weaver gets a 150/75/0 mana cost shitty time walk on 60/50/40 cooldown and needs to buy a 4200 gold item to make it 16 cooldown
>>145649015
It is much, much harder to play Naga than she used to be.
As for skillbuild, depends on your position. Support naga builds basically every early game item that builds out of sobi masks and rings of protection. Skill build is mostly riptide and ensare.
Core Naga is mostly a splitpusher. The problem is the amount of farm you need to "come online" which is why you need to farm and stack camps with illusions with utmost efficiency. You get a value point in ensnare (to stop tps), and mostly levels in riptide, illusions and stats. Radiance is the dream. Basically from there its identical to alchemists old octarine/radiance build. You can 1v9 with the hero but it requires a lot of frustrating games.
>>145649080

>>145649101
yeah but now all heroes have +50 base mana and can solve their mana regen needs with 225 gold memedrops so all those low mana str/agi heroes who were taxed in older versions wouldn't give a shit now
+0.85 mana/s for 225 gold wtf was he thinking
how did people play heroes like CK and weaver and doom and veno before this?
Hi Doturds where's esports?
>>145649210
Doom and CK are still suffering from rather huge mana issues.
>>145649263
Please don't call us rude names
will sheever be at ESL?
So veno jungle. Viable or reported?
>>145649210
>how did people play heroes like CK and weaver and doom and veno before this?
CK was superglued to Io and played literally no other time
Doom would build arcanes
Weaver build sobi mask items
Veno rushed aghs
>>145649101
when was it 25? i remember it being 75 which is ridiculous but not 25. 25 really wouldn't hurt the majority of the heroes except poor str supports, but even then it's only 25 mana. god forbid they have to think before they blink
>>145649264
no they aren't
buy 2-3 memedrops on them, problem solved
