HELLO /LOLG/ ! Can you leave now?
>>121983783
Why would you want us to leave?
And then he said "EG will win Frankfurt!"
>>121983651
what if instead of refreshing spells, it put enemy spells on CD
madman / 10
>>121983859
Because items with actives seem too complicated for your little brain.
>>121983959
>eblade dagon zapper
>complicated
the only remotely complicated item active is purge from diffusal blade, and that's only because of what the purge mechanic actually stands for, ie. what it dispels.
besides, you shouldn't be calling off anyone from your -16,28% game
Peru will win guys
>>121984060
Adelaide?
>>121984068Rio de Janeiro.
>>121984034
Sorry I don't follow or care about lolg memes, can you just leave?
Thread is dead. lets survey this shit.
1. your mmr
2. do you use quickcast or not?
1. 4.5k
2. no
>>121984193
1. don't play
2. don't play
>>121984193
1. 2k desu senpai
2. no
>>121984193
only on poof and spell steal
i have to change that shit every time i switch to/from meepo and rubick
>>121984068
what about adelaide
>>121984193
1. 3.9k
2. no
why is it always adelaide?
isnt there more better place in australia?
>>121984296
post that hair flicking thing
>>121984407
real question should be why do australians post 24 hours a day?
Why is it called summoners rift?
Why are they called summoner spells?
Why are all these people fighting?
Who brings them back to life?
Why are there so many fags that play this game?
>>121984617
because every player in League is a summoner, hence they have champions instead of heroes. Summoner spells are the spells of the players themselves.
/d2g/ pls help me settle an argument. My friend and I were talking about meepo and when i said the meepo was micro intensive he immediately said i was wrong and the right term is 'macro' instead of 'micro' when it comes to managing smaller units like meepo clones. So who's right?
>>121984617
why dont you suck this
*unzips dick*
>>121984598
o-ok
>>121984651
league doesn't have summoners retard
how clueless are you
i was asking these >>121984617 questions about dota
well, all of them except the last one, i noticed it doesn't apply because no one plays this shit game HEH
Adegayeide??
>>121984193
1. 3.5k
2. Yes (pressing I have regular cast on Alt+(Q/W/E/R)
>>121984724
I love when a meme keeps evolving and spreading, it's like memetastasis.
>>121984193
yes
>>121984193

quickcasting storm spirit ulti y/n?
>wake up
>no sing strim
wtf
It sucks that I can't even post Maki reaction pictures anymore because I'm worried the janny will think I'm that avatarfagging gayboy and ban me. Thanks for ruining Maki you fucking fag.
>>121984676
Your friend is right. To play him you only need to manage Meepos on the large scale, to keep them constantly doing stuff.
>>121984193
3k
yes, if you use regular cast, you should just kill yourself
>>121984676
you are right
>>121984958
you are a retard, please google the term macro before saying what it means you fucking dumbass anime dipshit fucking faggot fuck
groups out!
https://instagram.com/p/98PA_IEdBM/
>>121984958
macro would be the management above units; the economy and base building in a strategy game. managing meepo would be micro even if you control them as a group all the time.
is sheever jess monkeys and soe the best dota has?
>>121985102
You're fucking stupid.
>>121985130
That only refers to RTS. Macro in dota would mean exactly that. When you're farming with your meepos it's macro.
>tfw the other team spends half the game being dead because of you
>>121984958
fuck off adelaide
Group A: EG, Fnatic, VP, Newbee.
Group B: VG, Unkown, Vega, OG
Group C: Secret, Newbee.y, LGD, C9
Group D: EHOME, Alliance, CDEC, Mineski
>>121985124
>>121985220
macro in dota simply doesn't exist, it's replaced by team strategy and has nothing to do with meepo
managing units is micro no matter if it's an RTS or dota
>>121985298
What the fuck is the format
>>121985256
oh boy i bet CDEC are still smarting at their humiliation by mineski
goddamn it why do my fellow pinoys have to be so unlucky
>>121985256
group A looks like a pushover unless VP bootcamps which they tend to do for lans
group B might be tight
group C pushover for Secret
group D tight as fuck, I expect Ehome to top tho

Uninstall the game son, you have no future in this game when you state something so blatantly false with such certainty.
>>121985467
>Hardest group
you what
newbee Y are on par with newbee which is to say dumpster, LGD play like shit because of rotk and no xiao8, the only thing they can do is try memepush and I seriously hope you don't consider c9 a real contender. If anything Secret are clearly the strongest team in their group
>>121985256
>newbee y supposed to be iG
kek
>>121985195
BASED SJOKZ BRO
>>121985680
it's funny because C9 is the only dumpster team in the group but you turned all around xDD
>>121985256

B: VG
C: Secret
D: EHOME
EG's gonna fuck around in group stage for sure but tighten their shit up towards the finals
Hey!
>>121984193

This video sums up my Dota 2 experience.
So much excitement, hopefulness, and optimism going in.
>>121985786
Daily reminder that ritsu will only be on C9 for another week before he gets kicked.
>>121985765
is that shopped? lmao jesus christ is that ritsu?

Lost midlane due to this.
I don't know why I have lower mmr than I did a year ago and that was 2K. Can't seem to get better.

can someone explain who this qt is? i see her posted in here a lot
>>121985765
Mi único héroe en este lÃo.
Watch your replays. It will make you good really fast.
>>121985936
chupame la pinga maricon
>>121985865
You don't have to get kills, even with QoP, to win mid. Try focusing on last hitting. Like really, solid farming mechanics will get you to 4k.
But if you want a quicker fix, try harassing with right clicks more, she's pretty good at that. Also, spam dagger, scream, get better at securing runes/bottle crowing to spam them out. You don't HAVE to get ult at 6.
>>121985786
LGD's performance lately has been super lackluster because no xiao8. Individual talent is great and all but that doesn't win you games, see Shitrekt at TI4.
>ritsu
olol, ritsu can't even use a toilet properly
plus you're expecting a team with 1437 and brax to do well, let's be real now
>>121985865
Meant to reply >>121985959
>>121986002
>ti4
meant to say TI5
>>121986002
can someone explain the ritsu & shit meme?
>>121985865
yeah she can, unless you're a trashcan without null talisman or a wand at level 7. One of either will let you use all 4 skills with full mana. But then again you're 2k so it makes sense. Sorry you lost your lane with Qop of all heros because you blow m8
>group stages that doesn't matter again
Why dotards tournament have such a pussy format

>>121985256

>>121986062
I was winning it. Did my wqer. Anyway. First QOP game in literally a year. Had null talisman and int treads.
I was getting most of my cs and denies but yeah I fucked up but even so it surprised me.
>>121986104
>no wojak buried up to his head in the sand, being pooed on

dumb lelouch, group D is the toughest
>>121986240
sc2 tournaments have no losers bracket? are you serious?
>mfw ritsu beats EE and all chat him
>>121986420
since ritsu is well aware he's getting kicked after the major, what do you think are the chances of him doing something crazy?
>>121986347
EU time zones are absolutely the worst for me, but I get to watch Chinese dota in the evenings.
pretty dece tradeoff desu senpaiI'm sorry, I don't have any friends and I just want to fit in.
So we all can agree that between 3.7 and 4.1k is THE WALL which can't be passed without fresh uncounterable fotm spam or account buying, right?
I've never been trapped at a more salt-encrusted bracket in my entire life, and after two whole weeks of this shit it's beginning to really hurt.
>>121985456
>carry misses every last hit on lane

>>121986616
We both know that's not true.Thanks, love.
>>121984602
BECAUSE WE OWN THIS BOARD
>>121986563
if you have farm then it's all the more reason to keep on buying wards
>>121986769
all you own is my cum, faggggggggggggggit
Does playing dota make you a better person?
>>121986546
Ritsu's not getting kicked.
Where are they going to find a better carry? Everyone else is shit.
So /d2g/, why havent you gone green?
Reminder that
DotA = Defence of the Australians
Dota is Australia.
>>121986557
What's bad about that bracket? Are players bad or just their attitude?
>>121985786
>>121986925
90% sure these posts are from ritsu himself. That guy must love fiending about himself.
>>121986936
because i have white skin
>>121987008
thank you ppd
>>121986976
Both.
Two types of people in this bracket. The first can taste how close 4k is and instalocks windrunner/[insert winning hero here], plays well, etc.
The second kind randoms and doesn't understand the value of hero picks against players who are going to be picking correctly, and also doesn't care if they lose the game.
>>121986976
everyone thinks he is hot shit and his mates are holding him back
everyone will pick a fotm core hero and force the game on himself
everyone will go fuckin mad at the first error
everyone thinks he can reach 4k but the reality is that everyone around 4k-4.5k is low 3k inside
Post your latest wins.
WHAT THE FUCK DO I BUY ON HUSKAR FUCKING SHITTY ASS USELESS HERO
>>121987080
Here I was thinking I could finally escape the trench upon reaching 4k. Do I have to get to 4.5 to reach dota heaven?

>>121987156
So to review, you're ignorant of how the hero works, you're upset, and you're blaming the hero.
What's 2k like?
>>121987156

literally one of the worst heroes in the game unless the enemy team has five zeuses on it.

no wonder you guys are so shit
icefrog gives you a 4 cooldown 425 damage nuke with 50% slow from 525 cast range on a great hero for kiting with a long range attack and a blink, a hero who can perpetually stay an arms length away from the enemy team and pick them apart with daggers/waves
and you max le epick melee range aoe vanilla 300 nuke

THE DAMAGE ANON
WHERE IS IT
YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE DAMAGE
What if there was a hero who had an orb that changed its effect based on the most expensive item in your inventory
Like, if you had an atos it would slow the person you're attacking, or if you had a mek it would slightly heal allies around you each time you attacked, ect.
>>121988226
>wanting damage instead of literally tanking everything to watch them die
>>121987942
>OD Offlane
I'm not even going to bother watching that one.
>>121987410
Implying it doesn't depend on the mid matchup. fucking trashcan. Do you max dagger vs a lina or Leshrac? You do don't you? Because in your bracket people let you dagger for free, that doesn't happen once you stop playing shitheads in the middle lane.
Maxing Dagger is garbage in any matchup is actually bad, as you're farming speed and lane control is fucked. I know they probably don't mean anything to you, but trust me they are core mechanics of the middle lane.
In some matchups vs squishy heroes who can't punish you for getting close and daggering them you get 2 points. Like vs an SF.
Let me know if you want to know more about how matchups work shitter. Dota school is open.
Spouting le memes doesn't make your stupid logic work.

Get better internet poorfag. You wasted peoples time because of your shitty internet ofc you deserve lp. You also don't get lp after one abandon, so you've abandoned games in the past.
Unless you've been to lp before its 1 fucking game. If you can't win 1 game just go ahead and uninstall.

New hero: Isaac
Q- Isaac's tears
Has a unique effect depending on the most expensive item in Isaac's inventory.
W- Bomb
Drops a bomb at Isaac's current location. After a few seconds, it detonates, dealing damage to all nearby enemies and briefly incapacitating them. Does not have a cooldown, but consumes a charge when used. Isaac receives a new charge for every 300 gold he acquires. Maximum of 4 charges can be held at a time.
E- Greed
Lowers the cost of all items by 5/10/15/20%. Does not effect item value, net worth, or sell price.
R- The D6
Isaac rerolls his entire inventory, giving him a random set of items with the same value as his previous one. Each level increases the potential value of new items by base value+200/300/400 gold
>>121989457
>does not EFFECT item value
