Yeah I had a game where I was solo support and people started getting really fucking bitchy because they were fucking up and I got to be the punching bag.

Times like that you just fucking mute people, play greedy on your support, and pick up a little farm and EXP. Once I got glimmer cape and level 8 shit turned around real fast for us and we just stomped them.

Dota 2 is just too big for Valve now. It has millions of different players monthly and an Esports scene worth literally tens of millions of dollars. They're lazy and greedy and don't want the responsibility of handling the biggest game on Steam so they're letting Dota 2 die off slowly by reducing the quality over time so they won't be blamed outright for giving up on Dota 2

>Take $1,000,000 (you know 1% of a TI prizepool)
>FUCKING HIRE PEOPLE to work on the game nonstop since it's clearly huge enough to warrant people needing to work on it all the time
>Get bug fixes, qality cosmetics and an actual matchmaking system and deverlopers that communicate with the audience (why they're excused for not having this is beyond me but cucks gonna cuck I guess)
>Game is massively improved tenfold and blows all MOBA's right out of the market

But they won't do that. Dota 2 has probably pulled in over $250,000,000 counting all the compendiums, Esports, secret shop merchandice, TI tickets, sets, battle pass levels, they've made more money than they ever thought they would when they made Dota 2 and now they don't want the titanic responsibility.

Because they're making tons with this low effort cash shop shit.

Making a game that could compete with today's other developers, while not out of Valve's reach or limits, simply isn't the same hours of work-to-dollars gained ratio that this is.

We NEED it with Valve since they're a bunch of idiot hippies with the work ethic of "dude just owrk on what you want WHEN you want man it's like who cares man millions of people pssshhh whenever you want man"

There's no one working on Dota 2 until Compendiums roll out then it's 5 minutes of "how much money can we squeeze out of these idiots" then it's back to not working on Dota. they don't work on sets anymore,they let the community do it, aprove them with a click of the mouse then make 9% of the profit

It's fucking stupid and a game this huge needs people working on it, all the time. There's absolutely no excuse for ten goddamn months since no new heroes when the heroes are already designed and have skills made, they just need a model and voice lines (GOOD THING VALVE DOESN'T HAVE $100000000 TO DO THAT), even things like remodels on the 5 pixel heroes we have, we don't get, because NO ONE works on this game and NO ONE calls Valve out on it.

I guess i'll just play non-stop until i win, power through it. My biggest problem is not even that i don't know about items or anything, i just feel lost. Like sure, in the beginning you farm shit and maybe kill someone but after that everyone goes farming jungle solo and i am just like "what the fuck is a zombie to do?". Don't play Undying exclusively but i used to have a lot of fun as him because zombies are cool. Was shit before but now i feel like a guy who just learned how to right-click and that towers kill you.

1. Carry (whole game depends on him, you put your best play on this position. Has to farm perfectly under any condition and optimize his entire game and have perfect game sense and map awareness)

2. Mid (high technical skill matchup and tempo controller who has to make space for carry to come online)

3. Offlane (backup mid basically incase mid loses, has become way easier in this patch though)

4/5. Both supports (low impact relegated retard roles. All they do is stack for cores and provide vision, If they die late game no one cares because they respawn in like 40 seconds anyways)

Chess has unchanging rules, someone who climbs to 6k using nothing but Invoker should not be 6k months later when Invoker is no longer in the meta.

No that's support, who has to be good at everything.

Supports need perfect cs skills because they rarely get oportunity for it and so must always succeed when they get the chance.

Supports need perfect map awarennes to know where enmies are so they don't feed and can maintain map control with vision.

Supports need perfect positioning because they are always lower networth and will get blown up instalty if out of position

Supports need perfect spell exectuion because they usually have the long CD high impact ults.

I wasn't deflecting you shit eating mongol I was agreeing with you, NOBODY in this general hates Invoker more than I do, Invoker has been the most overpowered hero in the entire game for like 7 solid months and he's hasn't received a single worthwhile nerf because it's "WOW SO IMPRESSIVE" and "WOW SUCK SKILL MUCH INVOKE W O W" while in reality it's just completely overpowered garbage.

boosters and account buyers do fuck it up, but they will just keep losing until they end up back where they belong anyway

doing MMR "resets" would probably fuck things up even more than account buyers and boosters do
just look at all the ways people came up with to abuse calibration of new accounts and how many times valve has had to change it

not to mention the fact that dota is a changing game means that resetting MMR would cause some players to end up higher than they should be "overall" and others will end up lower than their typical ability to win dota games depending on what the patch favors

MMR becomes more accurate the more games are played
resets would have the opposite effect

Being a dota caster is fucking nothing compared to being something relevant like a movie star. Sure it's apalling but it's always been like this and twitch is pretty benign, at least they don't fucking stalk celebs irl and try to murder them.

how do people this autistic even function in human society

this thread is strangely Dota related and not offtopic what are you idiots doing sMh
>>
cs go currently has a 765k tournament on right now, with top teams, and they are getting like sub 150K viewers yet there are 0 dead game comments anywhere.

Any time a dota lan gets less than like 300k people scream dead game, even if it is like 50 prize pool and shit tier teams.

what is wrong with you fucks?

No one actually gives a fuck about CSGO lol. when people tell you your game is dead it actually means the opposite. SC is the most powerful esport.
