STILL NO NEW HERO!
good night /d2g/
>284 days since last hero release
good night /d2g/
Reminder that Secret will never lose desu.
>>123367903
I liked this comic desuthe axe comic too
>>123367964
>>123367983
I doubt you faggots even played all the heroes we already have, though. Post dotabuff

>Started using Drow as a go-to win hero
>86% winrate in 15 games in 3 months
Feels good man
I'm doing the all hero challenge and I'm on Invoker. How do I win a game as invoker ? Do I go Q-W and win ?
>>123368102
Don't go Q-W if you're solo it relies on your teamates too much
Just go Q-E and steamroll mid and snowball off that
>>123368009
Shh... adelaide is sleeping
>>123368102
You want the easy way? Lose a bunch of games, really throw them, but carefully to not get reported to Low Priority.
Then you pick Invoker and DON'T FEED, forced 50% should kick in and give you a free win. That's how I did it, at least
>>123368102
qe is harder if you dont know how to play just go qe urn and coldsnap everyone, should be enough desu you will win eventually
after that there are 2 builds really: badclinkz and badsf
badclinzk is shit like orchid mjollnir etc, you go invis with coldsnap and emp ready and try to snipe someone
or go euls and try the meme meteor into blast into sunstrike combo
>>123368236
>badclinkz
>badsf
why is this so funny
Insiderbro here, biggest change in 6.86:
each team now will have 6 players, one of them will be assigned the role of commander.
commanders will have a few abilities at their disposal, the abilities can be upgraded by other players using gold. examples of some abilities:
scanning satellite: gives vision over a limited area for 12 seconds. can be upgraded to give true vision.
orbital ion canon: basically a sunstrike. can be upgraded to cause a stun
overrun: the next wave of creeps will spawn all on the same lane instead of a group on each lane. can be upgraded to spawn 50% extra creeps that wave

Is this the only good idea reddit has come up with?

Why do OGgs feel the need to attack Secret at every chance they get? Are they that insecure?
I want auroth-mom to hold me in her embrace and gently snuggle me and keep me chill
>>123369237
>>123369474

Did something happen?
>>123369474
90% of OG fags are bandwagoning EGtards, that's why they're hating on Secret.

it was literally only lelouch before
fucking bandwagon shits bandwagoning my fuccbois
>>123369237
i'm worried /d2g/.
I'm at a shitty mmr, I mean, the lowest of the low. But I think I play at least 1.5k ahead of my MMR right now. So I've been working on improving my solo mmr. But I hate playing farming heroes, and most heroes I do play, require some amount of teamwork to win. And I CAN'T depend on my teams at this bracket.
So I just play riki every game. No one knows how to play against riki. I win every game in similar fashion to pic related. But I feel like I'm going to not be prepared for real dota when I get to a bracket where this shit doesn't work.
>>123369782
why do you play dota at 7 am
>>123369474
idk, I'm just here every night to say MINESKI WILL NEVER LOSE AGAIN
>>123369846
>not staying up all night playing dota
wow anon
>>123369846
I live on a farm and typically have to play when no one is awake because we all share internet.
>>123369782
There's literally no difference between 1k mmr up until 3.5k mmr.
>>123369782
you can just play offlane at 7k who cares
thats how some heros work you dont farm alot get exp earlygame have high impact and create space
just play offlane in higher pubs if you dont know how to famr or support
>>123369929
I'm going to be playing riki for a while ;_;
>>123369929
thats bullshit.
id argue there potentially arent THAT huge differences going from 2k to 3k but thinking a 3.5k guy wouldnt roflstomp a 1k guy is ridiculous
>fng will never be your cockslut
Why even live desu
TELL ME ABOUT BANE

>>123367116
>medalion is trash, yeah sure it allows you to nuke your enemy early, but it doesnt give you unlimited mana, orchid >lets you kill almost anyone as soon as you get it. you wont need hp if you can just farm faster.
>step1:go to any lane
>step2:try to last hit
>step3:once you get ult, and have soul ring, you can now jungle, which you should be doing if not pushing,getting ez kills
>step4:farm cash money
>step5:1 shot their mid and carry at the same time with orchid deso and win the game.
>the idea is : killing them before they can get items
But soul ring and pt switching gives you nearly unlimited mana and the problem with orchid that it cost's whole 4075 gold vs 1200 medalion gold so I can get medalion deso early on and 3-4 shot things, maybe your playstyle implies using arrows non stop where I use it to kill or literally last hit, altho orchid gives you some attack speed so you are a bit less reliant on strafe. Cannot wait for some clinkz buffs next patch since no one played him in tourney, so I can collect more ez wins.
>invoker went from having 2.5 int gain to 3.2 int to FUCKING 4.0 and HES STILL SHIT.
How do we make him strong?

>>123372062
Because this is an anonymous website and retaining anonymity is to be cherished. You might think "what's the difference, it's just a screenshot", but let's pretend there's a guy who posts one after every game. Quickly people will start recognizing his name, "oh it's that guy again", will accuse him of namefagging, he'll realize he gets recognized and starts acting accordingly, shit will start slinging, etc. None of this happens if he just remains anonymous in the screenshots
The more anonymity there is on 4chan, the better

do you guys think valve will actually do something to change the game in the next patch or are le epic flash farming mids still going to be the only thing in this game that matter for the 3rd patch in a row?

I love d2g because you can see a post complaining about how reddit caused buffs to supports making them broken, next a post exalting to offlaner position being the strongest and a bit later a post about how flash farming mids define the meta.
yo can i have some ember tips?
just played ember against a zeus.
im not very good with ember anyway yet but i felt especially lost against zeus. do you go something meme-ish like 4-4-0 against him?
my cukolding girlfriend
>>123374324
Razor is only good when they have one hero dishing out all the physical damage. If you can't work out what to do in those situations you don't deserve to win
Any other time he's pretty trash.
>>123374365
ya but thats what they said about the last 2 patches and even though the heros changed slightly the over arching theme of dota has stayed the same for a long time. plus about 50% of the hero pool is auto lose currently and has been for a long time as well
>>123374516

>>123374465
He is right though, flash farming mids do define the meta.

Which carry is alchemists ultimate farming rival? Is it antimage? Antimage used to battle alch back in ti3 but he didn't work in the major against OG.
>>123374214
I remember my first game with 3-man turk-stack.
I randomed techies, played it because who fucking cares im playing with turks.
I suprisingly went super well for me.
I got blink and killed like 3 people with suicide.
I yelled: ALLAH SNACKBAR in mic.
2 of the turks started laughing in mic, thought it was fun.
1 guy got super pissed at me and his OWN FRIENDS because he was a super hardcore muslim, he sucked ass and flamed me and my mate for everything.
He left the game, I think he deleted his friends on steam lfmao. we won anyway.

>>123376729based
>>123374694
How do you propose they'd change it though? Make creeps yield less gold? Welcome back deathball meta
It doesn't matter how dota is, people will always complain. I love the current meta, it's a good balance of farming and farm distribution vs. ganking and being active. Comebacks are possible but pushing highground isn't impossible. Push strats can work but aren't a meme
I have anal sex syndrome, which means at all times i am getting my ass rammed by a burly man. Which hero should I play??
>>123376821
how about a meta where everything is viable? remember that? we used to have that at one point
I had 64% or so winrate with slark in 4k and in the last 6 months it dropped to 52%
Is it the hero or me? I know I'm bad since I play dota only on weekends due to my occupation and don't have much time but back then I was in the same position with a higher winrate.

I haven't played in ages, and want to get back in, so I have a few questions. Is LC any good? Last I played she was banned from captains mode, but I still enjoyed her. Secondly, are mods banned or broken as funk now? I had a few cosmetic ones installed. Last is I played a lot of TA and LC, what's an "average" build for them now?

LC is a great jungler now that they buffed her passive. i would start with qb, stout and tangoes, hit the easy camp until you get level 2, then farm a medium camp. go for an early midas to accelerate your farming, then grab a shadow blade for ganking. from there it's purely situational, get heart if you need to be the team's tank, get mkb if you need more DPS, and so on

>Ice Shards can be targeted by physical attacks and take 2/2/3/3 attacks to destroy for enemies, and one attack for allies
there, Tusk is now balanced

almost forgot, she got an agh's upgrade while you were gone and it's pretty sick. i wouldn't try to get it before your midas and shadow blade, but unless you really need any other item then agh's is always good on her

Back then was less variety than nowadays.
