first for FUCK PANDA TV
nth for Traxex is the best waifu
where the FUCK is the battle pass?
What stream are we watching lads?
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2315874283
What went wrong?
Also, is it possible to cawl from 100 MMR to 2k in a few months?
>>140832581
In my pants, qt.
>>140832707
Yes, especially if you're 4k+.
>>140832707
You fed like a bitch in heat, that's what went wrong
>>140832707
you guys had the lead the entire match, but slark with rapier raped you or soemthing
>>140832581
what the fuck is a battle pass?
>>140833010
It's a battle that you just say gg and pass
>>140833010
He actually meant "battle ass".
WTF is Tobi doing
>>140832879
It's hard not to feed without basically towerhugging and getting 200 GPM. Map awareness is a huge issue as well, what can I do about this?
fuck the rebels
>>140833178
how do we fix tobi?
What does EE think of the PA nowadays?
>>140833227
honestly?
check your keybinds. bind a key for selecting your hero, something easy like space. it makes it so much easier to check around the map then come back to your hero
consider camera hotkeys as well
>>140833485
Shit beyond repair.
>>140833160

I think the worst part here...
Is that next game, unranked, being the BEAUTIFUL work of art it is, will place me with EVEN WORSE ODD. Because OH, HE DID WELL WITH BAD ODDS? OHHH, HE HAS TO GET EVEN WORSE ODDS, RIGHT?
>>140833485

Ignore this faggot.
Watch the minimap and learn how long it takes to get from point A to point B with and without blinks, and you will literally never be ganked outside MAYBE a smoke, and a ward wouldn't save you then.
Wards are pointless and for sub 4k shitters who don't understand or can't understand how the game flows and typical player movement patterns.
This is for VISION wards mind you. Sentry wards still have their place.
>>140833806
Pretty fucking much.
He's got really nice pure damage and all that, and he's really tanky, but what does it matter? As long as the enemy carry has BKB and is somewhat durable, he'll just FUCK your entire team before you can kill off anyone.
And besides, there are a thousand items that can deal with Timber anyway.
Still fun as fuck to play though. And he DOES work when your team is SOMEWHAT DECENT.

>>140834030
Play the game, shitter.
>>140834085
Everytime*
You're watching Tobi cast Veggie's run in the open qualifiers right /d2g/?
>>140834029
I like timber, and I feel Aghs and Bloodstone are his absolute no-skip core items...
But maybe you're right. Timber won't hook a tree every 3 seconds, and stuff. Fuck.
Is octameme straight up GARBAGE on timber, or can it work sometimes? Or... are there just straight up better items?
>>140834164
Don't encourage animeshits to play... they are cancer enough here I don't need them shitting up my games too.
>>140834164

I opened that stream for five minutes. Full of dead silence and lots of unsure talking.
No thx.
>it's an alch farms all game and hits like a limp noodle anyway episode
>>140834289
just look at the lineup you're against, vyse should have been core lategame here for the CC/lockdown
octarine core gives you spell lifesteal, but what good is that if alch/invoker/wk are rightclicking and spellcasting everyone down?
it's not garbage, but it was not the right choice here, and it's generally not the best item on timber because of his ult having 0 cooldown and his chain being 4s
Evernova vs Veggie start yet?

Unsure. I know tobi does the cast with also havign Purge on the background to hear their team comm ( with something like a 20 sec delay)

Literally an urban myth that 12 year old girls tell each other for spooks, consider returning to grade school if you actually believe it.
>spiderwebs are so pretty on the walls
They sure as shit look better than having all the shitty parasites and flys they catch be all over my house.
>>140836716
some sc2 shitter
>>140836754
How is pushing space slow? You don't have your thumb on it?
>>140836791
Every single one of the heroes can dominate games by themselves if played correctly. Pleb just need to step up.
>>140836843
not just a sc2 shitter
a guy who was so bad at dota he quit to play starcraft, ended up being shit and got chased back to dota only to be even worse at dota than he was before he quit
At least Select wasn't complete trash at both games
>>140836893
it's a big key with more mechanical resistance my famalam
there's a reason CS players don't jump with space
>>140836994
>there's a reason CS players don't jump with space
you realise only GObabbys who think they're cool bunnyjumpers don't use space to jump
literally 90% of cs players use space to jump
>>140836994
>it's a big key with more mechanical resistance
Fucking wat.
Do you have baby fingers? Why would the mechanical resistance make any kind of a difference?
I mean it's not even true on my keyboard, the normal keys definitely have more resistance than space, add the fact that you NEVER need to move a finger to reach it means that it is easily the fastest key to push.
![5ecab00777[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Cl9WUmJ.jpg "5ecab00777[1].jpg")
CAN WE REMOVE EVANSION FROM THIS FUCKING GAME IM SICK OF THIS SHIT
>>140836994
Both games require pretty good reaction time, I'll give you that. But Im not sure if putting an action on Space in Dota is as bad as it is in CS. Just do what your comfortable with. (not same guy btw).
>>140836025
This needs to be Broodmother Aghanim.
>>140837231
mkb exists for a reason, anon.
>>140837227
>Why would the mechanical resistance make any kind of a difference?
What else is gonna make a difference ? The time you take to push the key is conditioned only by the resistance of it.
>>140836601
>1: Select hero

>ulti is pseudo lockdown that goes through bkb

>not using zxcvbn for control groups
this fucking general
>>140837362
Literally the only factor that goes into how long it takes to push a key is whether or not you need to move a finger to get to it and how far you need to move.
If you have your fingers in the standard Shift-AWD-Space position then pushing 6 will take longer than pushing T, which will take longer than pushing F.
What's going on on tobi's stream? is he casting a game or cheating for merlini?

lmao that cast + ward
>they keep fighting 5v5 vs doom, void, ember, wd and mag

Man, the difference in skill between purge and everyone else in that team is so glaring. I know they're best friends and all but he is definitely the weak link. It'd be cool to see them advance to qualifiers but I don't see it with purge.
>>140839004
If they were that good at dota why would they be casting
>>140839006
they still haven't lost any tier 1s though and gold is still in their favor

>>140839183
cuz purge is blitz' fuccboi
>>140839183
Maelk couldn't play because he's busy making bank apparently.
>>140839004
I'm actually surprise by their skill, honestly. Merlini is way better than I thought he would be and he also has a fair idea about tactics and drafts. Blitz is also quite good.
>>140839183
no tey kicked purge becuase he sucked
purge literally devoted a year for blitz just so blitz can delude imself he can be a pro player by playing in korea
and like halfway tru they decided purge is shit and invited merlini to take his spot
purge literally stayed in korea like half a year and watched how blitz and friends play
>>140839183
purge is basically blitz cuck slave, he does literally whatever blitz tells him to do
Which hero is da most ORKY, /d2g/?
literally the most impact purge can have in these fights is to wait for mag blink rp and hex him, then try and stun the wd during ult
after that it doesn't matter what he doesn during the fights, witch doctor shouldn't be getting a near enough full duration ult against a windrunner, lion, tusk.

merlini is actually really fucking good at dota. the problem is that he doesnt take it very seriously anymore because of his casting career and his pubs on stream are almost always with some shitter friend of his that holds him back. ya he isnt the greatest or a pro anymore but he is defiantly good and a solid player

Yeah, you can tell he wants to get rid of purge badly. He sounds super annoyed every time they play.
>>140839860
stats dont matter, the item is picked up literally to go through bkb.
if you think otherwise, youre trash.

pretty fun watching Tobi make an unprofessional, expletive-riddled cast
Is this "balance"?

His main style is gung-ho fighting offlane initiators, but he moved to support since pos 3 is more of a farming role these days
>>140840646
Because Shadow Blade for ganks is shit. They'll catch on quickly and just sentry your shit. You want it mostly to into build Silver Edge since it's Break is incredibly strong this patch, but it requires the other team to have strong passives or huge damage output, so it's not a core item.

What do you do when your carry asks you to buy him tomes of exp?
>>140840881
by the time you have built shadow blade the support are ok on money, its not like a BH which makes them by it at level 1 and onward. hell at the point you have a shadow blade one of them might even have a gem if they saw you building it

apply your critical reasoning faculties and determine whether he is making the right call?
if hes close to 11 or 16 just buy it for him. if you havent reached 6 or 11, buy it and use it on yourself?
Why the fuck is Ember taking all the farm? he's basically 6 slotted. Let void farm so he can do some fucking damage in the otakusphere.

it's a 2700 gold item

obey
>>140841032
buy it and then eat it myself
if a carry is using the tome he is bad and you should assume the game is a lose with the one exception of that carry being a small amount of XP from a level in a major ult and the enemy is pushing base
