Win or lose: "gg easy"

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Dota 2 Beta Thread: [Brewmaster]

"gg" doesnt really mean good game anymore. It does sometimes, but most of the time it just means 'the game is over'. Hardly anyone says good game in a well mannered way, its just way of saying the game is over, hence why people troll and say it early.
Get bloodlust = "gg"
Win any teamfight = "gg"
Get boots first = "ggggggg"
Team picks 4 melee carries = "gggggg"
etc
WP is the new GG.

sigh, what's going on...
Usually I just get salty when I lose and happy when I win, nowadays not even winning brings any joy considering the opponents are more often than not just BMing their own team members in all chat or just going " ffs just finish it " 5 minutes into the game or disconnecting or just intentionally feeding us by sending out mass couriers to die and stuff like that.
Feels like only 1 in every 8 games is an actual good game.

Valve added a bunch of new servers in the past few days. Open beta could be coming soonish.
Can't wait, have played about 50 games maybe feels like my bm vocabulary has become rather extensive and needs to be put to good use.
*Someone dies once*
"allchat : omg... OMG! Just uninstall the game, go hang yourself but make sure to torch the orphanage before you go. Omg noob. noooob. блять... хуй хуй хуй хуй,мудло"
THE END DAYS ARE NIGH!
At least we'll get concede a week later when people don't stop complaning about it.
Killcams in Dota 2. Yet another nice feature from LoL that helps explain to players how they died.

This is the one good thing to come out of LoL, so useful!
pudge's hook, if I have an opponent who is standing still is it true that I'm not supposed to aim the hook at their center in order to increase my chances somehow? That sounds odd but that's what the playdota guide says. They recommend you aiming it outside of their center.
Not sure but probably it's because if he moves a little you still have a 50/50 chance of catching him?
That is assuming you just choose a side randomly.
That's what I thought as well but the guide stresses that "you'll hit the hook every time" if you somehow aim tangentially towards their hypothetical circle hitbox.
edit : ah found the pic from the guide, maybe it was different in dota 1?
Unless I'm misunderstanding, the guide is essentially telling you to lead the target (because the travel time is decidedly non-instant). Half of any good shot is predicting where the target will go and firing the hook moments before he does, if he's standing still, he could suddenly move back. If he doesn't, the hook will still probably catch him in the rear.
DotA, serious business.
Jakiro is very hard to play sometimes but your Slardar ... that I dunno, he should be stunning and stuff right?
Jakrio's breaths are pretty hard to aim, I miss a lot with them still unless we can bunch them up. Hell, I sometimes still miss on Furion with sprout, but that's just me.
Pretty crappy round of games today, finally won because I decided to play Furion after trying to use Jakiro actually. Then again, none of those games we had any disables (bar my ice path) while the other team were all melee carries with stuns and stuff.
Also, I know Ursa is far from OP but for pubbies he is, any ways to counter him? (besides not letting him get vlads and then having him solo rosh and shit which is 95% of what happens with an ursa in a pub game).

Well, his tornado + emp combo is extremly strong. If you want to push against him, you better have atleast 2x arcane boots

Against Ursa :
1) Pick heroes with stuns/slows/silences
2) Get ghost scepters
3) Don't let him get near you
Keep distance, he has the same problems as naix and skeleton king for example. If you can get a disable and run away you pretty much nullify him.
In worst case if nothing works ghost scepter is a good way to avoid him.
And people often say that soloing roshan is op, but the fact that he can do that is balanced by the fact that he is worse in other regards compared to other carries. It's not an instant loss to give an aegis to ursa.
and that's what I get for not updating the thread
Well, he does have insane dps when being in melee range for a prolonged time, absolutely not denying that

Pick viper and just ult/right click him, or learn to play beastmaster and set your boar on him and ult. I'd say viper is probably the easiest way to counter him because your slow isn't on a cooldown. Tide also provides a pretty easy counter, your ulti/slow will give your teammates time to react even if they're not the best players in the game.
So fucking true. God I kept getting fucked over yesterday as shadow shaman.

is there a floating combat text mod will this game allow ui mods?
just because you like ignoring the truth doesn't mean everyone else does.

And just what truth is that?
Guinsoo started Invoker too, curious to see his thoughts.
I just want to remind everyone that League of Legends has runes you can buy that give you permanent stat boosts.....ACROSS ALL MATCHES!
The guy mentions that too in his argument so Guinsoo probably thinks about the same.

I guess it could be considered "bitter" to not enjoy things for what they are and instead nitpick over every minute detail, yeah.
I'm not really sure what that has to do with what you quoted.
The worst part is the whole burden of knowledge thing is only a problem for LoL cause they decided to go with charging for champions. Unless someone pays money or the champion is in rotation than there is a burden of knowledge cause the player has no way to play the hero himself in practice to learn what he or she does. However Dota has all heroes enabled so any hero can be fooled around with in practice mode. So the person facing Invoker only has to enable wtf mode and go spam Sunstrike on creeps for 20 minutes to learn what the hero does. Obvious it takes more to play him, but this seems to be mostly directed at a player facing Invoker.
Does he really consider Rupture a difficult ability for a new player to use? On the topic of Invoker, aren't more then half his skills skill shots? I always felt like the difficulty in playing against a good Invoker, was how unpredictable he is, which makes it difficult to face him, never really know what skills he's going to come at you with, although it becomes a bit easier to predict depending no the build they go, but once you know, it becomes a bit easier to counter.
That Morello guy seems to like to exaggerate, and bring up points that just aren't true, like saying only a few Invoker spells are useful, when in reality there are only 2 that could be considered filler.
The bitter truth of what you were saying, was that MoM on SK, will be more detrimental then beneficial, and will often kill you, so if you enjoy dying, then yes it will be a fun game, but I don't think that's the case for everyone. If you were saying it in jest then that's understandable. The general bitter truth is that, certain items are fun to tinker with, but they will often not win you games and piss off your team when you make them, like if an SK made MoM, I'd be upset.
