Got into an AR match and the opposing team lvl 1 Rosh'd. I was so damn surprised that they coordinated that. I mean they had Ursa and WK but I didn't expect a team of 5 strangers to actually do it. Game was lost from there, we had a 5 carry lineup versus their 5 carry lineup and they had the early rosh advantage. Also I don't like Medusa.

heh, the only level 1 rosh i ever did in a pub was with 4 randoms in ar.

Downscaled Dota looks bloody great.

Fantastic texture work. 4K really makes high res textures shine.

My only level 1 rosh I did was in a solo queue and I think it was SD after we had picked 3 heroes.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Honestly I barely ever check whether or not a lineup can lvl 1 Rosh, guess I'll have to start doing that now.

 

[Arkanius]

I tried to do a bot match with 4K. It crashed when I died against Viper. Oh well. It was gloriously crispy though.

LD looks exactly like Thom Yorke in that pic.

My ability to not get kills is amazing, my assist count is always great.

He doesn't look one iota like Thom Yorke.

Well done intro. Hopefully it's just a promo and not a 50 second reel that plays before everything all the time.

If you can co-ordinate a level 1 rosh, it's much easier in a party naturally, the advantage you have in a pub game is huge. When we did it, with some rehearsals in a lobby before hand, our level advantage just let us stomp all over the enemy team in the early game.

iG are so bad right now.

iG are so bad right now.

Luo is kinda poor

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Game 2 of iG vs Team DK is starting now: http://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit

You know, the fabric used on Shagbark feels a lot nicer than that used on Nature's Prophet. Shagbark has this very silky feeling to him, he's nice and soft. Prophet has that raggity beard and a lot of his fabric is very stiff, I think to simulate wood, but it ends up just feeling weird.

I had to hack some things to get it working properly with the Source engine.

What did you do to get the tool working?

The first Magnus set on the workshop looks nice

I was worried people wouldn't know what to do with him

Huge down grade from Zhou, that's for sure.

Boy that's awful. I can see someone doing something better with Magnus.

Bad Dota day for me, not playing all that well.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Even quoted that pic is huge btw. Slowed the page to a crawl. You should rehost/resize it.

That's probably because you'r not playing a midas Lich.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Ice Ice Ice atm has the flying donkey courier constantly following him around while he's playing Bat. Can't tell if trolling or legit tactic.

I refuse! I should probably buy more Midas though.

It saved the gem. So totes legit.

 

[Conceptor]

DK teamplay so good. Burning was so far behind but they won fights with Call+Ice Blast and let him mop up.

Ah k I think I missed that. Makes sense.

Yeah sorry

I took it straight off the workshop page

 

[manfestival]

I havent played dota in over a week. I am afraid to play fellas... IM SO SCARED. Last game I played I went sven and went like 11-4-11

 

[Marauder Shields]

P Flax pls.

Come to the dark side, I did

Why is Necro's pub win% close to 60%? Do I fail to see what's good about him? He doesn't strike me as a pub stomper. I also think he's pretty bad all around.

I have been playing with him lately.
He is a beast because of Heartstopper aura. You staying alive in a team fight can really destroy the other team. You are a walking Radiance.

EDITED

Also, going mid with him and using Sadist will guarantee you health and mana if you keep last hitting well. You can also use your heal/nuke skill to harass. When someone gets low health due the harass you just use your Ult, kill them and get full life/mana due Sadist. Rinse and repeat in the lane. Melee have a very hard time laning against Necrophos.

8BIT Dota

A look inside Red Moon Studio

 

[dave is ok]

8 bit Zeus looks better than the Zeus in the game.

 

[Nymerio]

Is there something like a heat map for kills on the dota map? There are some obvious spots but I'd really like to see a detailed map for this.

Bounch how big is that the 22 or the 24 cintiqHD. Thirsty for upgrade.

Edit: What!!!!?!!!! anuxi just runs a 6x9 intuos. I guess size doesn't matter

 

[Marauder Shields]

Rubick E-Blade best E-Blade.

Really nice to have Dendi actually comment his game during his stream today.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Did he Doom a creep

awesome, it went up! Our first real exposure, I'm still kinda in disbelief.

It's actually an older 21UX I bought from a friend. Size totally doens't make a difference, it's all about preference. I have a lot of artist friends that prefer intuous.. it's kind of a tradeoff. Do you want to draw directly on screen? or do you want to be able to see the full screen without your hand blocking it, plus potentially more ergonomic since your arm doesn't need to be raised for extended periods of time. I've considered upgrading.. but I really have no reason to. I love this thing, square screen ratio and all.

Spoiler

ok I kinda wish it was widescreen.
