Does /d2g/ have any champions from other AOS-like that you think would fit nicely into Dota?
How about Anivia?
If they tweak her Q range and E she might be pretty good

Players can get grandfathered into good teams, or can straight up be just an underperformer in a good team.
Misery's achievement of being at every single TI with a different team each time is very impressive imho.
Okay help me on this, I'm fighting with my friend and I blocked him
>Zeus first pick mid
>PA second pick

Yeah, you can't win this no matter how you stomp the enemy mid.

Now I know why you fucks are stuck there.

Is LD just running a containment group for bad casters/personalities?
why can't they just fucking revert sniper to the 6.81 version and stop fucking overbuffing and overnerfing and reworking heroes for NO FUCKING REASON? I WANT MY FUCKING CARRY SNIPER BACK. THERE ARE LITERALLY NO RANGED CARRIES LEFT IN THIS FUCKING GAME. SNIPER WAS THE ONLY ONE, AND HES GONE. HES A MID GAME PLINKER THAT DOESN'T EVEN PLINK WELL ANY MORE.

Is bloodseeker the next riki?

Land mines now stack perfectly again
Land mines do 150/200/250/300 damage
Cooldown to 8/7/6/5

Stasis trap unchanged
Suicide Squad, Attack! full damage radius from 200 to 300 and partial damage radius to 650
partial damage to 300/350/400/450
cooldown to 120/110/100/90

tusk and techies is great, pudge techies, darkseer. Anyone that lets you foricibly preposition enemy heroes.
>>146964431
its so pathetic how they just nerf shit in to the fucking ground. there are no memebuilds or greedy builds that you could use to work around weaknesses. techies, sniper, pudge, centaur and OD are just pure, pure, shit heroes.
pudge...the more you read into the mechanic changes, the more you understand why pudge is complete trash.
>pudge is hero that trades life for opponents life is prone to dying. pudge that is winning will feed killstreak and comeback gold this way due to valves retarded changes.
>pudge that is losing will have the worst EHP in the game and will always die.
>pudge is most effective from minutes 0-15 but gets 100 exp for a lv 1 kill and 180 exp for a lv 5 kill making roaming worthless due to valves retarded exp changes
>game is a lot faster now and its much easier to get gold on carries, but pudge can only throw 2 hooks before needing to go back to base/waste 1 minute refilling mana with clarities

what did he mean by this

we lost ALL custom mods because reddit wanted that one mod banned
then valve just sells it for 50$ and reddit is ok with it
:^)
>>146967836
That fucking square trees.
Why is this shit allowed.
The playdota trenchshitter illuminati has nearly completed their task to remove every single passive bash from the game or make every single hero with one completely shit.
You can never argue with them, they are legion. Knock down one memer, and 2 rise in his place. They just finished removing sniper's bash, making Void worse than he was 3 years ago and completely killing Troll.
Because there are always "obviously" never any good ways to deal with a passive bash. And heroes with passive bashes are too OP to not be made shit.
This crusade started probably before you even started playing, when the first shitter lost to a 3 basher void and decided to make it his life's work to make such heroes permanently shit.
They have planned everything from day one. They know every outcome and eventuality. Spirit Breaker is the last, and he must be made shit. You can do nothing.
I kinda want to get into this game. Is it worth it?

Imagine there's millions of alien races in the universe. One day, one of them stumbles upon our planet.
They are not impressed. Everything we have here they've seen already in thousands of flavors. Except one thing, DOTA. They've never seen anything like it. Their calculations show it's the most amazing game possible.
They try to play it. They tell about it to other empires. Even these extremely intelligent, can't play it good. The best alien, grey looking ayy lmao motherfucker, who has been called THE SAVIOR OF PLEYADIANS. This fella calibrated at 1700 MMR.
By this time DOTA is played in the whole galaxy. Empires bet entire planets on BO3's.
Watching human TI's sets the mood for the whole Milky Way.
Alien overlords decide they will breed humans to play DOTA.
They contact us and tell us the whole deal. Entire Earth industry and economy means nothing. Our technology is shit, we are primitive. What matters is that we are genetically engineered to play the best game possible.
People don't have to work anymore, playing DOTA earns you millions if you are able to achieve at least 3k mmr. Anyone who can calibrate at 2000 can become local star system HERO for the aliums. These who play at 5k become instant billionaires. Aliens give them anything they want, 10 tonnes of gold, advanced electronics, everything just so they play for their teams.
TFW Dota2 saved the humankind.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little fugitive? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in Bounty Hunter training, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the Dire Forest, and I have over 300 confirmed ganks. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top tracker in the entire Radiant forces. You are nothing to me but just another bounty. I will wipe you the fuck out with crits the likes of which has never been seen before on this map, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over all chat? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of wards across the map and your every move is being tracked right now so you better prepare for the Jinada, maggot. The Jinada that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Shuriken. Not only am I extensively trained in bladed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Shopkeeper’s inventory and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of this map, you little shit. If only you could have known what justice your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will crit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Your bounty is collected, kiddo.

how do I counter Terrorblade in ranked pubs?
Other team first-picked a terrorblade in All Pick. We picked slardar and venge to counter. They picked ET and Disruptor.
Since ET and Disruptor are in every game this meta, what's a TB counter that isn't countered by ET and Disruptor. Preferably a REAL ranged hero, instead of venge.
>>146971621

I generally play CM and SS instead of Lion because I don't like heroes that are too easy, and he's been a top pick in pro games for a while now.
Any Lion tips? Is his earth spike the same as Nyx's? If I cast it on a hero can it miss? When and who do I mana drain. What's the level order, I know on SS you generally don't even get hex till level 10.

Upon these suggestions of just nuking terrorblade I looked up all the "degree 3" nukers in the client and remembered that tinker is in this game.
Is tinker a good TB counter? I would think the long range harass, blindness, and inevitability of a hex stick means he'd have trouble getting sunder off without dying.
>>146972409
yes you buy aghs so he can't death push with illusions

Illidan has a split personality, only the AM half is good.
I was an angel as a kid, and the only times I ever got punished were because of dumb misunderstandings and my parents believing my wicked brother over me. I grew up christian, never did *anything* conventionally wrong, never did anything my parents said not to do (and they said not to do some pretty basic stuff, stunting my social development) and for some reason, seeing another, more pathetic creature than myself (since I have horrifically low self-esteem) is just so gratifying. I wish the CIA could put out want-ads for torturers. I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.

Lion should prio a blink, the instant cast time on his hex is fantastic. A value point in mana drain in the laning stage runs most people off for a bit to break the link, if it's a nuker you can prioritize it a bit more. usually only get one in hex for the first while, because the time doesn't help as much for the mana cost. Earth spike can be ground targeted for slightly further range, but hero cast it can't miss.
Just go spike into hex, into spike, drain and then get at least 2-3 in drain before going back into hex.
What if there were hatless hats in Defense of the Ancients 2?
>>146974530
Nah, it's because the Dota 2 team is getting too short to "promise" content. With the battle pass, they release all the content (terrain etc) and all they have to do is some shitty cosmetics. That takes some 3 people maybe.

Are there any efforts to make a Warcraft 3-like RTS using Dota 2?
Seeing as how there are a bunch of custom games based on their original versions, I can see an RTS being made using Dota 2 models.
Imagine an army of "night elf archers" that are just a bunch of Drows. That would be fucking incredible.
>>146976581
say that to my face and not online
>>146976940
It's already in development.
Search Forest RTS in the arcade.
No one plays it, I've never found a game against a real person. Pretty sad, as it's actively developed.
>>146976940
I think some guy was trying to but it was really hard to code and he had to to some weird work around. Probably dead like the rest of the custom games scene.
>>146976897
sorry sorry here is the correct version
dotards?
>>146976940
two problems
1. dota runs on source, an FPS engine. its performance in handling significant numbers of RTS type units is very fucking terrible. source2 didn't help much
2. there are practically no building models to make use of
2 and a half. dota units aren't designed with team colored textures, it would be difficult to distinguish between yours and enemy units even in 1v1

I kind of find interesting how there is literally so little negative to say about Akke other than that he's Loda's fan and associated with Alliance.
The worst I can personally say about Akke is he doesn't play dota enough and also has gotten a lot worse with interacting with his fans.
Also he can be whiney at times with his blogs.

I have been telling people for fucking years that it is his most imbalanced spell, Im surprised it took 10 fucking stat buffs to make people play him as a right clicker.

You haven't seen LoL or HoN have you?
How is Elder Titan's winrate so high?
Stomp is difficult to combo off of even in high brackets, he can barely staple supports out of lane any more, and his ult is mediocre at best
Is Natural Order really that strong?
>>146978204
is that pic on the right real?
isn't that the navi interviewer girl?
>>146978624
>>146978709
o yea well aside from LoL
HoN is still passable at leasti ts consistent. Nothing in dota looks like it belongs to the same game

>>146978870
>be furion
>ever try to buy early fighting items
>no lanes to ever to TP into for kills and then when I try to start fights I end up dying because team doesn't fight
I just farm as furion into gold relevance, it's easier.
He's definitely a lot less viable though with splitpush being almost dead since people five man by like 10 minutes nowadays.
