Korea will never rule dota as long as there's only 10 koreans playing the game
I hope more switch.

Only six-figure prizepool tournaments matter, dumb animeshitter
Why does no one build mek on OD? He'll never run out of mana to use it and it provides great survivability. You can build it into guardian greeves that give good mana pool increase and late game survivability.
You don't have to build it all at once either, just stick with a headdress for a while and build it after you have farmed your more important items and gotten ganks.
Personally, I like to go headdress -> second ring of regen (for later force staff) -> treads -> blink -> moonshard (for greater fight and farm potential)-> finish mek -> everything else.
>>135909153
Clinkz isn't a skeleton, though. He's an immortal who just so happens to be perpetually on fire, his flesh roasting off his bones as fast as it can regrow. He's every bit the zombie that Lich is.

I would've like it better if you at least decided to build a crit item instead of directly going for Relic.

he is just going to reduce the ms and maye the duration of enchant on creeps

Even worse, armlet of mordigan is under weapons. Like holy fuck, it's an armlet, you don't hit people with the armlet, it increases your armor and boosts attack properties.

>her nature's attendants can now be targeted on an enemy hero to attack(like Weaver's Q)
This is how it will probably go. Yes, Enchantress is now nerfed as a DPS hero but she can be utilized as a heavy support that will fuck you up in the late game. The only remaining fucks to be balanced are Invoker and DP: DP's E shouldn't pierce BKB and should stop once she's disabled or the target is invulnerable (i.e. Astral'd, Eul's, etc.). Invoker should not be getting a motherfucking free haste rune while invis, +20HP/regen, and a free +100 damage once he gets level 16 because it's just so fucking imbalanced not to mention downright retarded when even just an average Invoker player can 1v3 and come out on top when it's just 20-30 mins into the game.

Good lad. Your item choices seem good and your deaths are fairly low, which is good when you're playing a hero like Tide who generally wants to be in the middle of teamfights.

In what meme delusion is Enchantress overpowered?
You get in her face and she does no damage and dies in 2 magic nukes.
If you don't get to her and let her free reign right click then of course she'll rape you, just like Sniper or Drow.

You're forgetting just how fucking stupid players are. One of the biggest learning curves in Dota seems to be learning how to deal with right-click heroes.
People bitch about PA RNG. People bitch about Drow getting fed. People think OD is overpowered because of his right-click damage. People think a 6-slotted Clinkz without BKB is unstoppable. People are fucking retarded.

korean here, stayed up to watch MVP beat EG last night, and it was exciting to see them finally win a LAN.
from what i have read though, there are people here and on reddit that actually believe that an entire Korean scene will appear out of nowhere just bc one of the two competitve Dota 2 teams in all of Korea (both of which belong to the same organization) won a LAN. just to give you some ideas, ive attended one of the largest universities in Korea for three years, and so far ive met five people who regularly play dota 2, and a handful more who have even tried it. everyone i know that plays dota, has all played since WC3.
however, fomos.kr (a popular Korean news sites for sports, kpop news, gaming, esports etc. that is read by many LoL/SC fans) posted three articles since this morning about MVP winning. the first one they posted is the most viewed, and i think the other two are in the top 6 most viewed. so idk, maybe if Valve decide to invest more in Dota 2, even basic things like a Korean server, things will change, but it seems very difficult.
tldr: nothing here will change unless Valve want to put money towards building Korean dota 2
>>135915834

you're listing a good example for art and a bad example for music, and you know that. it's the equivalent of saying that creating my own song is better than lighting a piece of paper on fire and calling it "art". if you don't want to argue and just want to be right, go for it, but know that that's exactly what you're doing.
>>135917494

You know what friend, you're right. My life was on track to going back to normal, but since that one guy on /vg/ told me to stop it I think I'll go back into a self-destructive spiral of dota.

>>135917941
Firstly you're a solo guitarist and you arent even doing something like fl studio on the side. At best youll play some shitty pop hits on the street and impress your gf every weekend. Alternativally you be drawing porn, writing stories, making fanart, making epics, et cetera.

>>135917941
Sorry anon, but you're in the wrong here. You said you're playing guitar, that's got nothing to do with writing a song.
And even then, as an individual skill, you'll achieve far, far more from painting/drawing as a hobby than actually writing and playing music on a single instrument.
You probably don't know this because you don't have a single strand of creativity in your body.
>>135918240
>impress my gf every weekend
Fuck it, I'm happy with that. And no, I'm literally just starting so I won't get to an actually good level for ages, but who cares, it's about the enjoyment and stuff. Plus when I chill with friends we can smoke and jam or something.

We all know pubs are full of shitskin retards, but they are also the people that think k/d matters in dota

If OD isn't nerfed I'm burning down Volvo's headquarters. Completely fucking braindead.
Reminder that Mid Lane Is Literally The Prisoners Dillemma
Reminder the Nash Equilibrium proves you should defect (take mid) rather than cooperate (let your random subhuman peruvian teammate take Mid)
Reminder Further :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law
It's insultingly obvious how these two apply to the 10 player, 5v5, 1 person per mid lane on each side, game of dota, so i won't even insult your intelligence to spell it out.
FURTHER REMINDER : IN CASE ANYONE ON D2G ATTEMPTS TO TRICK YOU INTO GIVING UP MID.

THIS MAN IS THE ENEMY
HE WANTS TO DENY YOU YOUR GOD GIVEN AUTONOMY IN DOTA
YOUR DOTATONOMY
HE WANTS YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO DECIDE YOUR OWN FATE
HE WANTS TO DECIDE IT FOR YOU.
DOES YOUR GAME OF DOTA2 BELONG TO YOU? DO YOU DECIDE IF YOU WIN OR LOSE? OR DO YOU PUT YOUR FATE IN THE HANDS OF ANOTHER MAN?
WOULD YOU BE SO SUBSERVIANT TO OTHERS?
WOULD YOU THROW YOUR INDEPENDENCE OUT LIKE YESTERDAY'S GARBAGE?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'S NOT AMERICA.
THAT'S NOT EVEN MEXICO.
IS A DOTATARD NOT ENTITLED TO THE SWEAT OF HIS OWN APM?
NO SAYS THE MAN IN MID, IT BELONGS TO THE LANE CONTROLLER.
NO SAYS THE MAN TAKING THE ANCIENT STACK, IT BELONGS TO THE FARM MASTER
NO SAYS THE MAN BUILDING DAGON, IT BELONGS TO THE KDR MASTER
I REJECTED THOSE ANSWERS; INSTEAD I CHOSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT; I CHOOSE TO PLAY DOTA LIKE A MAN
I CHOSE : MAINING SOLO MID SNOWBALL CARRY

It wasn't a pub, it was a /vg/ stack. But, yeah when I posted it the first time I was genuinely upset. However, right now I'm just posting a picture from my collection with every reply before I delete everything and leave this place forever.
>>135919524
Mid is so fucking boring though. Everything becomes routine. I'd rather just be a great offlane player and expect at least two 6/10 teammates.
>>135919223
I really want to prove the forced 50 thing wrong, but yeah, streaks like this shouldn't really happen.

Don't worry, I was 6000 hours in before I stopped. What worked for me was going to uni and getting an actual life outside of uni. Get a life, get something going outside of Dota, literally find any other hobby, recognise this as an actual problem that you have to quit, and be done with it.
>>135919672
This
Position 3 is definitly not as good at carrying as pos 2, but it feels so much better. Have i been cucked? I just got out of a game were we had some guy pick wr mid after the enemy had picked alch and he didnt win the lane.
>>135919906
I went to college and then got sucked into this shit game. For some fucking reason I can't get it out of my head that if I'm not good at dota then I'm stupid

There's nothing wrong with position 3 offlane, not even position 4 roam. Those roles are fun as fuck because the game becomes about resourcefulness and playing like you're innawoods.
I have more fun out-living the opponent than actually being some burst meme master mid player.
>>135920201
Haha, I know that feeling. At some point I was obsessed with 4k, and I did eventually get there but it just isn't worth it. How's your social life going, do you have friends and stuff to go out with?

I calibrated at 2200.
Then climbed my way to 3700.
Took 8 months off and now I have to deal with shit like people running and diving fountains for no fucking reason.
>>135920851
You'll never be able to shake that feeling that it's all just a horrible fucking waste, though.
But, as long as you can do something, enjoy it, and not regret it entirely, I think that's a pretty good way to live life.
>>135920536
I don't have one and don't have freinds. I honestly don't even know how I would go about doing so.
How the fuck am I supposed to win a game when I absolutely shit on their mid, go and gank the other lanes, have complete domination and then the other carry on the team goes 66 fucking minutes with no god damn items somehow and my team then spends every moment past the 25th minute just splitting up and getting picked off and never grouping?
The more MMR I lose the harder the games get because the team members just get fucking dumber and you can only abuse it so much before their ember buys shit like two divine rapiers (and even when you kill him you then find yourself in a 1 vs 4 because your other team decided to just walk into them and die repeatedly).
