I'm a raging autist who literally can't ignore it when assholes bitch and flame in games, and got into low priority by responding and being baited hard. How do I get back out?
Ritsu was a faggot who got what he deserved
NA dota is a joke and always will be as long as you care more about circlejerking in skype chats and trying to drag others down instead of getting good
Just a reminder that EG will never lose.
Reminder that peruvians are literally better than the rest of NA dota (with the exception of EG)
Reminder that people complaining about peruvians in their pubs are just american kids who need to blame their loss on someone else because they're whiny passive aggressive bitches and will never get good.
This is all Beesa's fucking fault bringing up shit that happened years ago. He's such a faggot nigger snitch god I fucking hate Beesa so fucking much.

Why do you watch anime made for high school girls ?
I am not hostile toewards you at all for posting anime in a dota 2 general. I just want to understand you as a human being. I watch quite a fair bit of anime myself but I never managed to pick up anime made for little girls. Is it maybe a social circle thing? Do you watch anime for little girls because your friends watch anime for little girls or what's going on ?

Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
Ritsu gets dropped because of something he did when he was even more of a kid then he is now? As in, several years ago when he was a dumbass teenager?
Because if that's the case we should be going on a manhunt kicking a hell of a lot more people in this scene out. But wait, it's ok in Ritsu's case because he's brown, eh?

It's just, amazing. In any higher skill level we would have been able to abuse their greedy lineup and push early. And I did my best to roam for kills, and my team even ganked the shit out of bot, but ultimately we couldn't stay coordinated for a push and had to deal with a fed Jugg, Troll and Phantom Assassin and lost horribly with what should have been an easy win. I can't wait until I'm good enough to get to an MMR where my understanding of the game is actually relevant rather than this hellhole where anything werks because Storm Spirit tries to 1v3 three people with stuns with a 1k bounty on his head.

So are there gonna be people in the event this time?
Imagine this scenario:
Flash, the greatest Brood War player of all time, is in his prime again and plays only DotA 2 for 3 years or so.
By the end of the three years, do you think he could micro five heroes effectively to take on a mid tier pro team 1v5?
>>122532625
who cares fuck this game
>>122532424
The difference between, say, 3 and 3.5k may not be indicative, but the difference between 3 and 6 sure as hell is.
Go watch any of the replays of actual teams smurfing into lower brackets. They get 90%+ winrate until they get closer to their true MMR.

>>122535192
Are you retarded? Have you seen EE play recently? He's godlike.
>>122535027
>actually being a fan of EE
I found a situation where both Vengeful Spirit and Drow are excellent picks.
Together.
>soak exp in lane
>as soon as Venge gets level 6 go full offensive
>Nether Swap + Frost Arrows = ded
It's really pretty fuckin bullshit honestly. Early game there is no way to counter it except having your own stuns. But Nether Swap has such a short cooldown. In general I think both need a bit of a rework.
If Drow gets ahead her Ice Arrows are fuckin bullllllshit. The slow is ridiculous. But if she's behind she's got jack shit going for her, because the other team has BkB for sure. She's just either completely useless or impossible to fight.

>call others retarded
>proceed to make the most retarded statement possible
>>122535435
is this bait or 1k mmr?
>>122535435
And Venge also needs a bit of a rework. Nether Swap is either useless or broken depending on if your team is winning or losing. When against a strong team at best it's a trade, you for whoever you swapped with. At worst you're jumping into a 1v4 and the guy you swapped just run back to friendly lines perfectly fine. Both heroes are pure win or lose, they have little comeback ability on their own.
>>122530621

HOW CAN ANTS DO THIS SHIT BUT I CANT GET ONE FUCKING BITCH FUCKING FACE CUNT TO BUY WARDS ON TIME
>>122535435

you can also try CM + venge, its equally disgusting

you also get both auras so you can bully all day
>>122535614
if you trade support venge for their core you already won, its not a 1 for 1
>>122535571
Why can't it be both?
In reality though, Drow is kinda underpowered. All the ranged carries are to an extent. I guess it's balancing but Mirana is the only ranged carry I can think of that has an escape. And she's not exactly the best ranged carry either.

buy them yourself they are 75g a piece that's nothing I've bought wards in like my last 50 games no matter what I played they give back much more than what they cost
sentries are much more expensive though, they should lower the pair to 150g, same than wards

I don't think she needs a buff, I think she needs a rework. Most of the ranged heroes just need tweaked abilities. Outside of a few most lack any kind of playmaking abilities, and even then all the ranged carries still have sub 50% winrates except Templar Assassin and, well Zeus is technically a ranged carry I guess, and Drow who just barely etches out 51% winrate, but she's only got like, a 2% pickrate because like you said, she only works as an early pusher.
Silencer has a 51% winrate too, but I'm not sure how many people build him like a carry, he usually takes on more of a supporting role past the early game.

Take a break. When I was a lolbabby I got burnt out a good 12-ish times over 5-6 years. Also don't play ranked, it isn't worth the stress

I've been studying /d2g/ qualify for about six months now and I've noticed a correlation regarding quality and sheever posting
It seems that the one or two sheever posters wait until a general is near a "dead" state before they begin to post. What is quite amazing is that you can use these sheever posts as an indicator of how dead a thread is.
>100 posts in between sheevers
Possible not our two autistic friends since it does not match up with their typical patterns
>50 posts in between sheevers
A warning point but it can also just be the two waking up and alerting each other of their presence
>25 posts in between sheevers
Thread quality is starting to dwindle down and they are starting to fish for replies or any form of attention
>5 posts in between sheevers
They're desperate and know at this point that other anons might give them (you)'s out of sheever boredom
>1 post in between sheevers
Unobserved data. I would theorize that sheever posters would eventually begin to communicate with each other.
