[Monochromaticx]

Serious note, nothing wrong with wanting teams to do well and supporting them etc.

Just please, for the love of me, don't call it El Classico etc.

ugh tell me about it. I hope I never hear it again (in dota)

 

[aeolist]

i sure do love the fact that neither of this weekend's tournaments have vods or twitch archives

Ah, the Empire/Secret el classico.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

pugna is by far the worst

Jakiro.

 

[ViviOggi]

it's viper how is this even a question

no design goal in sight, awful proportions, placeholder animations, joke particles - any other of the weaker heroes would be completely fine with a minor texture update.

 

[Drkirby]

Yeah, viper has the worst model. I really don't mind slardar, and I think half the people who bitch about Zeus don't like his design at all.

I think both Pugna and Lesh need new models, their design just feels mehish. Really it's more of an issue of their color pellet though.

Zeus's design is fine it's just that his textures are like from the N64 or something.

 

[inkls]

I had a dream last night that went like this:

*calls eternal envy*
inkls: "hey dude, you should put more than one point in doppelganger, eh"
EE: "why, eh?"
inkls: "its OP and you can remove batrider sticky napalm with it, eh"
EE: "oh shit you're right, eh"

and then c9 won TI

This thing looks worse than LoL.

Graphical style is very LoLesque, it's insanely busy on-screen (way too many notifications, status bars, flashing things all over the place). Map objectives seem ridiculously important.

 

[Acinixys]

This thing looks worse than LoL.

Ive played Dota, Smite, Dawngate, LoL, HotS and Infinate Crisis

The best two are Dota and HotS imo

Dota for intense tactical and strategical team based gameplay
HotS for a bit of fun

Smites mechanics and balance are shit
LoL is boring as fuck (also pay2win with runes and shit)
Dawngate/IC were shut down cause they were meh

 

[shira]

Not funny, thanks for the reality check

but no lol is not p2w you can unlock all runes and championerinos if you play 8000 hours
and by then they'll have released 3 more champs so you have to play an extra 500 hours

inkls get a TI ticket

 

[Elitro]

Holy shit three in a row. Wooo

Congrats. Love watching Secret play, they always utilize the map so well.

srsly tho i got nuthin, maybe next year

 

[Deleted member 77995]

awesomenauts is actually really fun. just sucks you have to pay for the base game.

You spent all your money on a computer to play dota with me. Instead of hanging out with me.

So selfish.

 

[Shinypogs]

Map objectives can be outright ignored with the right team composition depending on the map, some maps though yeah you're fucked if you don't fight for and win them.

I'm enjoying watching Waga trying to learn all the ins and outs of the game at rapid pace.
Also suddenly seeing Huk again since I stopped watching sc2 is sorta neat.


Alliance vs NIP soon will steal my attention away from this tournament though.

 

[Shuggananas]

so D&D really jumped the shark huh
like. geez. they couldn't fuck up harder lol

Can you take pictures with all dem cosplayers there and send it to me pls?

 

[TUSR]

Yeah and I'll sneak in a dick pic.

I hope the Chinese QoP cosplayer is there doing TA this year.

:tusrfaec:

 

[Smithy C]

The feel when the Alchemist on your team gets mad and calls you a retard for taking the bounty rune before the other team could, then you go on to out-carry him as Jakiro.

Jakiro - 10/1/19
Alchemist - 7/7/7

 

[J2d]

caring about organizations at this point seems a bit silly. I will cheer for whichever team my favorite players play for.

I cheer for every swedish team, I never had any interest in "real" sports so dota fills some kind of void. Team secret is 2/5 swedish and has a good chance of winning TI5 and I'm probably gonna watch it at some event so shit feels good. I do like and have respect for a lot of other players but I still want them to lose badly when they go up against one of "my" teams.

What kind of insane person sends a random dude on the Internet who plays games 13 000 dollars

What the fuck man

NiP vs Alliance stream

If he entertains him then why not, it's his money.

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

If he entertains him then why not, it's his money.

Likely a person who doesn't need to worry about money. If I had millions of dollars I also would sent my favorite Streamer some cash. While watching him on my Yacht playing Dota

I think donating any number is crazy btw but I sometimes think I should donate to bulldog since I often watch his stream while riding my training bike in the mornings.

? From what i've seen it looked good, no more saves, no more endless lists of skills you'll never use, progression feel more like 2nd and 3rd, more personalization, feats are more important etc...

Not that i'll ever play it anyway i'd need to find a group for that.

That Shobab guy is like the Secret Millionaire of the Dota streaming community. He donates loads to Synderen too.

D&D as in the writers of game of thrones

dude picks sniper, goes mid, gets fucked vs qop, doesn't even max shrapnel, steals my jungle stack

 

[Swig_]

Hey guys, I have an extra Arms of the Onyx Crucible (http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Arms_of_the_Onyx_Crucible), PM me if anyone wants to offer a trade for it.

 

[Wonderboy91]

I wonder if maxing shrapnel first is still correct. It defiantly was before nerfs but now I'm not sure. It feels so much worse to use and the 55 second charge cd is huge. That said I honestly don't know what the skill build would be other wise.
