I had a headless sven, I think its just parts of the model are glitching out.

The problem is, Pudge flat out has no Hair model in the game. I am hoping Valve just pulled a dumb and forgot to include it. Usually it is just an item_schema glitch that causes them to not load.

 

[Tenck]

I just had a game that showed a naked Tide and bandanaless BH. I think we can assume some of these monstrosities (hairless pudge) were glitches.

So apparently Child's Play cleared the accusations against Sayuri.

 

[RukusProvider]

Purge does not remove refraction from TA. News to me. MKB worked wonders though.

Hit and run is my preferred play style in most games, and it's what I'm good at, but I haven't really played like that in Dota 2, which characters are best at this play style?

Probably Gankers. Check the OP for a list of heroes that fill that role.

- Hey guys, what is it? Void under BKB decided to tp out? Let me Ravage him and see if it's viable option to break channeling spell.

 

[Artanisix]

why you hatin on tomat

 

[The_Player]

That was just a friendly joke, every Tidehunter should go through it. No hard feelings.

 

[Ikuu]

Funny how people didn't seem to care when they added a Pirate Tide set, but Alpine Ursa is the worst thing ever?

Tempted to get it and play nothing but Ursa.

 

[Drkirby]

Reminds me of the 70 minute game as sniper that after coming out ahead in a team fight, and our creep wave was actually close to their rax, I bought Boots of Travail, TPed to the creep wave, and after taking down the melee rax, tide hunter finishes walking to the base. So, I simply start shooting him, then I realize, he never used his ult during the team fight. So, I decided that after shooting him for a good 4 seconds, it would be a good idea to BKB. So I do, and 3 seconds later, he ults. And I finish shooting him dead.

Spoiler

Then Brew finishes walking back from our base, with next to no HP, so I simply ult him about 10 feet from his fountain. Then my team trys to make me take out top rax, but I'm like "Nah bros, I'mma just gonna finish this now', and I destroy both T4 towers, get down the Ancient to 500 HP, and finally get killed by their morphling respawning. Luckily, the rest of my team arrived and finished where I left off. Good game.

 

[Tomat]

Well that sucked.

 

[Artanisix]

Well that sucked.

<3

 

[Tomat]

I'm not even that upset, just sucks to lose like that.

The pirate hat on tidehunter does look pretty bad but him dragging around a pirate flag is just to stick it to kunkka. That at least has some sort of relation but a cowboy hat...on a bear?

 

[Artanisix]

Yeah. Dark Seer imba as hell + 109 ragequits.

 

[IceMarker]

Anybody else stuck at "Finding Server" right now?

 

[markot]

Cowboy hat is just one of those things to piss people off with. Like gnome rogues in wow.

It looks weird, and its weird that the best ursa set imo is the cheapest >.< but whatever.

You never played RDR? Bears & Cougars are mortal enemies to Cowboys.

oh god please no

bad memories

 

[Forkball]

Thank god Sven, Juggernaut, and Omni got more items. I don't know what I would do without them.

Well there's a difference between lunatic fanatic of his god who carries around everything he can find on the bottom of the ocean, and alfa-bear who came from far away lands to defeat a threat to his cubs, isn't it?

The slayer of pirates mock them by wearing their get up. Whats hard to grasp about that?

 

[Moaradin]

lol dota lore.

Except what if the far away lands were alpine regions?! And he was in the middle of a hike!

Every character will have 'silly' things now and then, because some people just like it. But most of the stuff has generally been 'in line' with the general tone of the game.

 

[Ikuu]

It was obvious from his reveal image that Ursa is from a mountainous region, the Alpine set is no more silly than anything else added.

 

[The_Player]

Well yeah, but the problem with that set is that majority of gamers vote against it being added to the store, yet Valve decided otherwise. Let me quote their FAQ:

Q: If fans are creating content via Steam Workshop, how will you ensure it fits the theme of a hero/game?
A: We're acutely aware of the community's concerns around remaining true to the theme of the game, so much so that we think the community should be directly involved in the process of choosing what goes into it. The Steam Workshop allows you to submit your votes and thoughts on contributed items before we make any decision to put them into the game, so jump in and help us stay on the right track. We think the community at large is actually really good at making these kinds of decisions.

 

[markot]

What was the voting like?

 

[The_Player]

What was the voting like?

 

[Nedjoe]

Are the servers down atm?

 

[juicyb]

Nooooo servers! I wanna play

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

What was the voting like?

Half 2 stars, half 3 stars. So 2.5 stars average. At least 300 votes per item, some in the 700+ range.

 

[TheThunder]

lol dota lore.

I didn't know that people actually cared :lol

 

[1.09]

I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that the awful pink scarf costs $5 by itself.

bro it matches his nails

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I didn't know that people actually cared :lol

BUT CANON

 

[HK-47]

I dont think the real issue is canon but rather that valve just sort of went over the community's head for no real reason on this. What is the point of community consensus and the rating system if it doesnt matter?

 

[Xater]

Man when is this finally leaving beta? I have not played in a while because I am too lazy to boot into Windows. I know it's my own fault but seriously it's time.

 

[The_Player]

I didn't know that people actually cared :lol

Guess what, there are people who take games serious. I feel nothing but regret to those who thinks the same way you are.

 

[TheThunder]

I was speaking to dota not gaming in general, would've said the same thing if someone got their panties in a bunch over something like Tekken's "story"

 

[The_Player]

Valve have done great job making all these heroes come to life, I don't see reason not to enjoy this part of the whole game.

Also new voice lines of Kunkka killing Tidehunter almost makes me cry. More of these.

 

[juicyb]

Did that stupid TF2 update fuck dota over? ugh

 

[markot]

>_< Is bald pudge on purpose?

 

[Sentenza]

I don't like the new Ursa set too, but I'm not sure how people can consistently mistake a cowboy's outfit...

...with an alpine's one:

 

[markot]

I cant connect, always go to 'finding server' and it loops back to finding match after awhile.

 

[Ikuu]

Steam is pretty fucked at the moment due to the TF2 patch.

 

[The_Player]

What are your thoughts on new set for cathanter?

 

[markot]

Does anyone here have like a big ass win/loss ratio? like 100 wins and 70 losses?

Im constantly hovering at 50%, now im 111w 109l >.< Which I guess is good matchmaking. Although the teams sometimes dont seem that evenly matched...

 

[fresquito]

Can't find after the update.

Earlier on I had a pretty high ratio. 60-70%. The more games I've played though, the more balanced it has typically been, and I've been reeled back down closer to 50%. I have about 5 more wins than losses at this point.

 

[FtHTiny]

Hovering around 70 more wins than losses for a long time now. I seem to have hit the point where it doesn´t change much anymore.
