>>121791581
it appears that the enemy illusions will track ownership until they are recast. Once illusions are recast, like clicking manta again, the previous units are erased
so if you cast rupture on a lotus shell illusion and run yourself to death, it counts as a kill for that hero
if you cast rupture on a lotus shell illusion, then that enemy recasts his illusion skill and makes new copies, and you run yourself to death, you die with no death message and no kill gold awarded
presumably, various spells could break down when their owner stops existing. The one that crashed the original game for me was a bounty hunter track being reflected, so I'll investigate that one
more like /d2cluck/ amirite
Guys
what If
Just hear me out
What if
You got riki
and didnt level up his Invis early levels
maxed smoke and backstab
>>121791823
Focus on abilities then that reward the "main" target with extra damage, gold, etc. like track does for bounty (as opposed to those that just get assists)
Other examples to perhaps check:
Duel
Spellsteal
Homing Missile
Pugna Life Drain

>>121791739
no he belongs to the shitter
>>121792065
But I don't enjoy playing the same 5 heroes over and over again.
How do I stop jumping to my inevitable doom as Huskar constantly?
I always end up with a LOT of deaths when I attack 3 at once quite often. I usually win either way, but I feed way more than needed.
The hero gets in your head.

why are people playing ogre and jakiro mid
goddamn i need to get out of this mmr.
Why would anyone stalk this?
who /sheever/ here?
>>121791918
for track at least its definitely a result of the ownership of the kill gold, yup
heres an isolated instance
once chaos knight casts manta style a second time, the first two illusions are destroyed and stop existing to the engine as far as I can tell, so the track buff no longer has a valid owner, and that crashes it due to some sort of invalid index when it tries to award the kill gold
>the two sperglords that ruined d2g inhouses also happen to be insufferable human beings in everything else to
What a surprise
>>121792629
Pick meepo, get blink, win game.
Or if you're an actual shitter, pick PA, mute team. Farm, farm, take ancient, take easy pick offs, take rosh, win game.

Interesting shit , so is it isolated to a few spells on echo'ed illusions or the the echo placement on illusions in general?
>>121792731
There is no way this crashes the game but Rubick lifesteal wouldnt

kek
>tfw you have a quarry to settle
>>121792896
i have no idea how many spells crash the game
using enchant from a hybrid enchantress via morphling aghanims on an enemy illusion crashed the game, track kill gold crashed the game. Sometimes the crashes appeared random

followup:
It appears illusions have a limited number of slots per hero or something, so that recasting manta doesn't ALWAYS make the game 'forget' the old illusion existed, but sometimes does
so if you spam it 20 times in -wtf, it should do the job real fast
you can see the debuff has lost its owner if you click on the tracked hero and it no longer has the track icon, but instead a generic dota 2 icon

Curious, does anyone actually know how the game determines what skill level you get when playing with a varied party.
Does it always match for the highest rated person in the party?
So if there's 4 people who would primarily roll Normal Skill games solo and one who would primarily roll Very High Skill games, would it look for VHS matches?
>>121793424
Razor throws the game as soon as he is picked
>>121793640
I wouldn't know which one to pick, no one I know plays MMOs.
>>121793770
>peeking at tiny in his natural habitat
>>121793884
It goes by average, so having 4 normals would put you in high at best, most likely in normal
>>121793884
It goes by average mmr. Also prefers to match similar player compositions against each other.
>>121793886
>implying Razor is not good
baka dota 2 players are so stupid there's a reason he's widely picked when a situation arise for a damage soaker mid
>>121794042
Razor is only ever good in pro games
i guess quarry posting is a better than anime posting at least
>>121792629
Because anything works against idiots
I made a smurf to play with 2k friends and it is painfully obvious the mistakes 2ks make
They have no map awareness, no idea how to harass example bring a veno aggro in an entire wave and losing half hp, they don't orb walk or attack move and they are horrendously inefficient with their farm
You are stuck in 2k likely because you do none of these things and there is no reason for you to not dominate every fucking game if you do
Doing up some qt Dota display pictures like these for Steam if anyone is interested (just ask for hero).
new guy here
i need help with a few things
im exp level 25 and its going up really slow, my friend has only played 20 more games than i do and he is 47
what am i doing wrong?
i bought the compendium and lots of levels too
is it going to expire after the frankfurt major and do i have to buy the next one in the winter?
when i finally reach level 50 and hop in ranked how many games do i have to play before i get an mmr?
i come from leeg and basically its win or lose there nothing else matters, here in dota how is it calculated?
what are the ranks compared to leeg? like is 1k mmr bronze 2k silver 3k gold 4k plat 5k diamond 6k+ masters/challenger?
i watch synderen and merlinilol a lot and i love them too, but merlini is never streaming anymore and synderen won't be around for the next 2 weeks
are there any other good streamers who are educational and not douches like arteezy and the more popular ones?
>>121794114
Razor throws pro games as soon as he is picked. Probably like 10% winrate.
>>121794391
Why is viper on a bread or something?
And could i get pudge or ta? :3
>>121794481
I guess he was leveling during the last event like year or two ago where you were getting mad levels for playing a few games so dont overthink that honestly, its nothing
As for the educational stuff, did you watch the purge vids?
And for the mmr, its the same, win and you get mmr, lose and you lose mmr, that simple. There are some speculations that during calibration if you play heroes who deal high amount of hero dmg that you will be placed in a higher bracket but noone knows if its true. I guess you can watch purge if/when hes streaming, along with tobi maybe, idk if he still streams, if not just watch purge vids on youtube
>>121794391
Lina perhaps?
Why people hate me?

Major part of the worst TI of all time and now a dogshit boring hero who ruins any game he is a part of.

Nope. Dota is about exploiting and predicting the enemy. As well how good your team is. I'm a good person and don't exploit people. I just try to farm my way to victory but they don't let me, and thats why I'm 2k.

Reddit has better Riki ideas baka
>>121794780
if you want to watch pro games or something (that would be the only reason you would want to watch tobi stream, he's not a good player) then just go on dota2lounge and they have links for most pro games every day, even have countdowns for when they start so it's reasonably handy

Obviously the riki aghs upgrade should unlock an additional ability that blinkstrikes in an illusion of riki that attacks for a few seconds and then runs off, fading as though it were turning invisible instead of just disappearing. Uses blinkstrike charges, obviously.
>>121794780
They are on twitch, purge and tobione-something, just type it into search bar on twitch and youll find it easy
