why do we need more hereos though? This isn't Lel
>>123919189
>>123919162
No, reddit literally complained them to death.
Maybe by the time your kids are old enough to play dotato, he'll get buffed, but not likely.
What would you do with all of that time?
>>123919482
there's still heroes that people want over that aren't over
they should be in the game, it's DOTA 2.

Glimmer doesn't stop scythe though....
Reminder that QE is the only build on Sand King and that if you skill sandstorm before level 10 you are LITERALLY trash
>>123918350
If you played in a better bracket you would know why.
I know I'm about to get my ass intruduced to Jamal's big black cock when I see him picked on the other team.
>>123919836
i am pretty sure sand king doesnt have quas or exort
even if he had, he has no invoke so it would be pointless to skill thme
>>123918325
Actually, offlane Riki has been wrecking face in my 5k games. Probably because people still refuse to buy sentries early, but he does wreck greedy carries like Alch bretty hard in the mid game.

seriously, the level of willpower it takes to stay in 1k is amazing
i hate jug and am pickers
literally every patch the heroes are amazing if you arent reatded because pubbies cannot deal with hard splitpush and with enough time they can 1v5
i hate nothing more than playing against them becuase i know its just a ticking timebomb to end quick or struggle for hours

Sven is probably the best we've got. He sort of has this overly-proud tsundere thing going on, which is cute.
i just wanna abuse broken heroes until the patch comes out

Venge, viable
>>123925064
Probably because I'm a top. I like to be the dominant one, but most of the males in Dota are big muscle guys with dominant personalities.
That's not so surprising, given that it's a game about combat, but I'd like it if there was a little something for me in the game.
>>123925639

What's it like limiting your hero so much because of your fear of misplaying and looking stupid?
HOW COME THIS UZBEKI SLAV IS PLAYING BUT I CANT PLAY RIGHT NOW

>>123929197
i would only care if this game meant anything to me. Im more mad because i cant figure out what im doing wrong
What happened to OPPA DENDI? Did he get worse, or are new players like W33haa just so much better than he ever was?
>>123929528
building as is easy when you get free cleave and +120 dmg
>>123928989
When the other team fluctuates between being a little better and a little worse than you, that means you've found your skill level. Gratz on being a purebred shitter. If you want to start the journey out, learn to farm. I guarantee you that if you play a core and keep up 7-10 cs/min, you will win 90% of your games through 3k.
>>123929654
fatigue and loss of passion
>>123929654
theyre all dogshit compared to fluffnstuff
the midrole changed, and dendi couldnt cope
Im sure he stayd top tier on a mechanical level for a long time after navi started declining, but after that the average level of pro players caught up with him and it seemed like navi never managed to find someone who actually understood the meta for more than 3 weeks at a time.
they even had FNG and won their last tournament with him but apparantly they simply couldnt work with him.
>>123929556
>25% evasion and crit
He is a very good dps dealer even without ult.
his ult is good cc and wins teamfights early to mid game and you buy carry shit. A basher,vlads and AC grants him nice damage and the auras still apply on ulti.
>>123929654
>dendi's team got worse
>dendi's heroes got shit on
>dendi got worse
>everyone else got better
>dendi was never THAT good to begin with
the end
he was just a posterboy for valve, navi, and slavistan
If Huskar is so easily countered, why is his winrate 10% higher at 5K+ than it is at <2K?
>>123928842
