honestly shit is so cheap its ridiculous

I'm in a sub a lil ways away from detroit, so i can still drive down to all the cool places like downtown and greektown, but I only pay $350 a month for a house. You can get studios for like $450-500. Just don't look in the richer areas like Rochester Hills and Troy where its like $900+ for a tiny studio.

But yea downtown detroit is like $400-500 for a studio. But I'd spend at least $600 so your neighborhood isnt shit.

one day they will buff you again my sweet dark prince, one day

the slow seige jungle occupation campaign was so successful that lina and centaur got tired of winning and picked a billion bad fights

 

[Sigismundo]

I live in Australia. Everything is expensive here, especially houses (although if you go further out from cities, say an hour or so, it's alright)

Studios are about $250AU a week for inner-city ones.

 

[call_kotaku]

I realized I can't reliably handle more than 3 active items at a time, it overloads both my fingers and my brain.

Trying to play a support lion with blink, force staff, glimmer cape, and dust just didn't work. After each fight I remember atleast 3 things I forgot to do.

FOR A HOUSE? holy mother of what what in the butt !

this makes much more sense Lol, threw me off for a second.. like, I knew detroit was cheap, but... haha.

109 are you not coming to ti5

 

[Qvoth]

When I try to do active items on the keyboard along with my spells and other stuff, my fingers get all twisted up. I got a Razer Naga Hex mouse that's designed for MOBAs that has six side buttons just for items. It works like a charm.

To push this a bit further, are there projects announced that seem to be a full game within DOTA yet? Most of the custom modes thus far seem very mini-game esque or are just relatively simple maps, but the tools are pretty versatile and extensive, right?

I'd be interested in CRPGs or Diablo-likes in the dota engine more than most of the current custom games, tbh.

WarChasers is probably closest to what you want, and that's a port of a WC3 map.

That's pretty cool.

Is it possible to make multiple-map 'campaigns'?

Outside of just making multiple individual maps that make a greater whole (and must be downloaded individually), I mean.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Yeah I wonder if that's possible too, like a trigger that makes the map switch forms would probably do the job but I don't know if that's possible.

 

[Qvoth]

Is warchasers co-op?

 

[TUSR]

has any other USW players been having issues playing on USE?

 

[Chris R]

I will never finish my first set of 10 heroes

Ping seems to have gotten worse over the past few weeks but playing this weekend was fine.

i average 130 on east, maybe 60 on west?

apparently my ISP has been having issues lately

that explains that

I'm surprised they talked to you. Most ISP's have policies telling users to politely fuck off if you complain about lag while playing games.

rofl, like shaw would tell anyone anything

https://canadianoutages.com/

i get:
85-90ms on USW
133-140ms on USE
125-130ms on EUW

if any other USW player can look into this too, that would be awesome

 

[Chris R]

For real tho, I need nyxtips so I can finish this fucking 10 hero challenge so I can never play nyx again

stop trying to solokill w/dagon or waste time farming, coordinate with another support/someone with a disable and get a core fat early on.

if it's under 15 mins and you have little contribution to the game then your team has been playing 4v5.

 

[Chris R]

I try to do those things, just need to get a team that would win and not feed a lane 7 kills in just over 7 minutes... TERRIFIC way to start a game when your lane is 0-0 and farming ok while mid's died twice and offlane is 0-7 lol

Contrarily, I'd say on this patch you need to farm with nyx.

If you can, convince your team mates to pick beefy lane stompers so they can make space for you and farm in the offlane. Aghs is crazy strong, and nyx has a lot of utlity with a stun, mana burn, invis, 2nd stun. And it's even stronger with aghs.

Unrelated, damn clinkz is so fucking strong in pubs. Playing against some heroes that shit on clinkz and with decent supports I can still play like I take 0 damage and roll through enemy cores.

I think you can see my house from here

Nah you can't but it's pretty close.

But seriously Steve i can't come in Venice on a saturday june weekend it's like 200$ and 4 hours trip from here

 

[Interceptor]

After 2000 games i finally tried sniper. 47 kills later i think i'll just main him for a week to boost my mmr a bit. ^^

 

[abunai]

still reeling from how poorly i played in ihl yesterday

 

[Monochromaticx]

This was the a most unexpected stomp http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1572451503
New record for healing with 11.9k healing done

I was going for a right clicky dazzle but couldn't think of proper build so I went with a skadi (couldn't get the remaining parts before the

)

Good luck with that

Also, the hexagon on my latest smurfs looks fairly accurate:

Low MMR games are the most fun

"You've already used your allotment of reports this week"

Fuck you game. When I get four games in a row with at least two people in each game that does things to ruin the match for others let me report as many people as I want.

 

[NBtoaster]

The game hates me so neither of my accounts have an accurate pentagon. It doubly hates me because I played 13 games on the weekend and went 2-11.

 

[Kade]

Is Dota supposed to take up 42GB of my hard drive? Sounds really off.

That means you're reporting too much, if your report actually gets someone punished you get it back. Don't forget that being bad at Dota isn't a legitimate reason to get reported.

Dota 2 and Reborn share the same folder

Mine is 48GB

It unpacks from 7? GB into that monstrosity when you download the game

Instantly, 94% of reports vanish.
