Dota 2 Beta Thread V: Real Talk Strikes Back [Tutorials]

Not open for further replies.
I guess my dream of DOTA having a single player campaign is dead if the release date is so soon. A game in the style of DoW II that doesn't control like a Relic game would have been awesome.
 
Are you guys excited for new tutorials? I honestly am looking forward to playing them and seeing how they handle it.

PLUS MAYBE ILL LEARN SOMETHING THAT'LL IMPROVE MY GAME LOLOL
 
Is there a consensus on having 'auto-attack' turned off or on? I don't mean auto-attacking creeps, I mean just having it turned on, and constantly canceling it.

I'm just trying to figure out the best method for last hitting.

they just need to release workshop tools and people will create their own maps and modes. with how popular this game is it could easily have the kind of modding community that WC3 had which spawned the whole dota genre in the first place

Have to say I prefer it off, gives me all the time in the world to focus on the minimap and what's happening on the lane. Higher APM isn't good if it's nearly all junk APM.
 
Wait, so if you get called out, respond and ask for them to retract their words, that's banworthy?
If he had said what you said or "I don't feel like I did what I have been accused of and I don't like that" he wouldn't have been banned.

Instead he wrote a novel full of "attitude" about how he was better than some people and that some should eat dicks.

He acted like he claimed he didn't.
 
I watched the first 15 minutes.

He didn't do much wrong. Except not bother to protect top tower when he was farming ancients (was doing some hiding the tress trick).

Before that he taxed spectre by taking last hits, denying Spectre the chance of getting any.

It was boring.

On the flip side it's pretty not cool to be accused of something falsely. I guess Dreams was a little over the top but eh, low blow to make shit up.

I wonder if faithful beta players will get anything nice for all their pre-release pain and sadness

IVE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST SO I SHOULD GET AN IMMORTAL PUDGE SET

I'd love some hero challenges. Like Clockwerk's ult with no cooldown and hitting targets across map or some hook challenges with Pudge.

I would agree. We probably shouldn't have taken what had been said as completely true without waiting for others thoughts as well and I'm as guilty, if not more so than anyone, of that as well.

But still that post was extremely unwarranted and immature and if Dreams wants to hate me for thinking that then I guess he can.

I know I come pretty damn close. I've been in the beta since November 2011.
 
Fuck this game's matchmaking. I'm level 30something (that should at least point towards some experience with the game) and I'm still playing with venomancers that cant buy a single support item till they get their ultimate orb (not even the courier), lone druids that cant move independently from their bears and bristlebacks that are level 10 35 mins in the game: and all that in a single match! This thing is just completely broken.

It doesn't...you can theoretically be level 100+ playing nothing but co-op bot matches..

r u still getting rekt by PL's? Or did Icefrog fix him?
 
Speak clearer, its really hard to understand you.

Also, I really don't like it when people say the ability name then explain what it does in a cast, I think it sounds better when you say what is happening and why (Instead of "Dazzle has been hit by Drunken Haze and is now slowed", try "Dazzle has been slowed by Drunken Haze")
 
Has anyone else noticed how these "dota nerds" are popping up in games lately?

I get these guys on my team that know nothing about how to play the game (map awareness, etc), but know every facet of each skill, and tell the team over voice chat how to play their heroes then rage if the game goes bad. Usually when the guy talks too much in the first few minutes, I just mute them, but it is still annoying.
 
Well I followed milkman's advice and started picking Treant more.

Holy shit.

It's amazing how much time he buys you for your low-mid tier team.

Also, for some reason, teammates who you put the Living Armor on suddendly become manly and actually stick around and fight to the death! Glorious.

Would like to see a response from the accuser even though Dreams is banned. #freedreamz

If you want to see what shit talking really is: http://dotabuff.com/matches/222107032

It was our second match against them and at the end of the first, which they lost, they said they were trolling and we sucked. They are also from 4chan.

Either that or look up our resident heroes of shit talk, clan Kagete.

Also, ya'll gonna be jealous when Dreams is sitting on top of that Giantbomb loot pile with us.
