Night Stalker has one of the angrier ones
I remember Viper has a very annoyed "No mana" sound. Most of the heroes have good "not time yet" sounds if you mash the key enough.
I've won multiple games against techies before the horn just by buying sentries and TPing to the safelane before the game even beings. The Techies are always confused and proceed to either DC, feed a kill, or be completely ineffectual for the game.

Pretty sure that would be Troll Warlord, that mofo threatens to kill you, can't get any more angrier than that. But he sounds angry when saying anything so I don't think it counts.

May contain jokes =>
That doesn't mean anything. Everything says that unless it's released.
Maybe it was a typo, but it's an Arcana vote. Not immortal...

right, right, thats what i meant
i dont think so, immortal treasure 3 says 'items will be released when the stretch goal has been achieved'
immortal treasure 2 used to say that, but now it says 'this reward has been unlocked and will be available as soon as the dota team puts the finishing touches on it'

Honestly Valve's handling of the compendium and associated rewards is pretty damn pathetic. Leveling up the compendium is virtually impossible outside of pumping raw money into it, and even after doing that, you don't even get the rewards once you hit the stretchgoals set up in the compendium. And meanwhile Valve is completely unresponsive on the matter.
If you own a compendium you still get SOMETHING, you just get extra stuff if you level up. I don't see the problem here.

Yep, got laughed at for deciding not to go for bf when I play PA, but I've been doing pretty well. Clearing stacks is harder though. My PA build is now generally Treads>Helm>Basher
Someone didn't buy last year's compendium
They've been reasonably quick delivering the stretch rewards this time around, disregarding the weekend we've only waited one day for treasure #2

I feel like I have gotten pretty good at picking game breaking combos. Granted it requires some luck and a gameplan but it is always nice to build around a good ult if you manage to nab one
Ummm were you here for TI4 and those stretch goals? Those sure as HELL did not come out anywhere near the times they were unlocked. Valve has CLEARLY learned from their mistakes with last year and so far have released every single reward within 1-2 days of being unlocked besides the 2nd Immortal chest. No room for complaining at this point. In Valve time the Dota team is moving at light speed for punctuality.
I will agree though that it is a bit silly that there isn't any way to level compendiums outside of paying. This is the only game I play so I don't mind spending money here that would have been spent on other video games, but for some I can see why they want the points through gameplay.
I had this playing in the background while working, occasionally flipping over to it to see what was going on and actually just the audio taught me a lot more than I expected.
One question though: They said in an aggro tri in this video, you're supposed to be getting XP from kills. Now obviously at the same time, a coach of an enemy team would be saying "Okay don't die" in that scenario, so what if you can't manage to make any kills happen because the offlaner plays too safely for you in that situation? Without levels it feels like smoking mid would be incredibly difficult unless the mid is something that can really help secure a kill.

You stack the jungle. Farm from pulls. You only get exp from kills in an aggro tri, although not necessarily it depends on the objective of the aggro tri. Sometimes the objective is just to break even and slow down a carry's farm.
Why would there be an aggro tri vs an offlaner? You're a bit confused.
Edit 3: In the case of an aggro tri vs a safelaner, you generally dive them for kills, then kill the tower.

Guys, now we have access to APM if we pay Dotabuff.
Apparently, I am not a clicker.

Makes sense, I guess just the idea of pushing a tower without much levels makes me a little nervous in general.

I'm not really sure what the point of APM is in Dota. I mean it doesn't play like an RTS game, so it's not about action efficiency all over the map at once. It's more like some less APM actions are more meaningful in Dota. I mean I guess it's just a fun stat for no real reason, but still I don't get the point of it.

At the end of the day, we will have stats about average APM per hero, per player, etc. and maybe there will be something interesting to say about this.
So far, I agree with you, it is just a fun stat. I was surprised to discover that I did 88 APM. I would have expected less than an action per second.
Finally played ranked for the first time in a year. We won and I am now a pathetic 1298 mmr. The climb to 3k is going to be brutal I'm sure
Still think its crazy that Valve doesnt reset everyones MMR every 4 months or so

I only played 11 ranked matches in my life and I ended up with 3.2k mmr.
This was as soon as ranked mmr was available.

Maybe not reset everyone but if you take a break from the game you should have to recalibrate.
Honestly I like the Hearthstone approach, except maybe every month is too frequent for Dota. I think they should do an MMR reset for every patch though, or 4 montths, or something. So many factors go into changes over time like that.
