Exams and finals for many university students (myself included). Haven't been able to get a game in for several weeks now :(

It's kind of a shame Valve is taking 75% cut from the sale of the compendium. They should have made it at least a 50/50 split if they are truly after a stable continuation of TI and better organisation.

Yeah I agree too that it's a shame they want money to pay for the event. They could have sold the Compendium and not even split it, and it would still be fair.
 
Absolutely not, just don't think people having exams is a sensible suggestion.

Exam season in England

My experience
A Levels - usually mid-May to June
University - May to June
Post-graduate - May - June
Bar School - Late March and Late May

I ask about the US as most posters in this thread are from the US.

Also weather if finally starting to get nice in most European countries, people go outside and have fun. Especially if weather is starting to get better in Russia, numbers are gonna drop. Finally they can drink outside!
Stereotypes hooo

Now I understand the long matchmaking times. Bought the compendium because it was taunting me the whole time while I was waiting.
 
Next time I play in an IH, I want to try drafting. I'm sure I'll get outdrafted horribly, but I want to work on my drafting skills regardless.

You - Me - Friday or Saturday?

Prediction time!

Well for one thing - Wisp won't be banned (or picked much if at all) in the Eastern Qualifiers. Most deaths we're not sure if it's in a single game or overall. If it was single game, CM might have a shot - if she was picked. But she's only very rarely picked.
 
I don't know what Zenith is planning at but some of their plays (especially when it comes to iceiceice) is so stupidly reckless in this match.

It doesn't look like they can survive the International at this rate.
 
if I buy another 125% bonus on the market, does it stack?

Can I have a 250% bonus for 95 days? Because that'd be neat

According to some people who tried, nope!

But this is how Zenith always plays.

They always leave the crazy to iceiceice, and Zenith is considered one of the best. Every team needs a risky player for the big plays.

Yo' anyone knows why my dota 2 now doesn't recognize the shift command ?

I can type "ASD" easily but when ordering a rally it won't work. Lots of cancelled TP :/

Shit now Valve has thrown me three games in a row with feeders/leavers.

Karma is a total bitch!
It took me a long ass time to play 2 games.

Around 10 games had people leave during character selection or deny the match offer. You stupid fucks stop wasting my time. So annoying.
 
This is why breaking bases late game is such a pain. Buybacks essentially mean that you need to beat their heroes twice in quick succession.

Was this happening all in 1 game session or in multiple sessions? I've had a bug before where shift doesnt work for anything, but after restarting the Dota client it works again.

I can't decide whether to call RS valiant or annoying for refusing to GG despite Megacreeps.



If they won the next teamfight, that could have possibly throned with the gear Gyro and Alch had. Lots of buff dudes in that match :eek:

Blaze - "I've heard so much about his Tinker; but I've never actually seen him play it!"

If only they had a way to watch replays of when people play games... Such a good caster!
 
Is there a trick to *really* turning off autoattack?

My autoattack is off yet my hero will seemingly randomly go off attacking a creep. Really annoying when I'm trying to run away from someone.

Are you "A clicking" to move? In settings, there is an option to turn auto attack off. However, if you press your "a" key (this is also a setting - to make it whatever key you want, it's just defaulted to a) and click any area on the map/minimap, your hero will move to that area and attacking anything along their path.

That might be part of it - one instance I've noticed was that I'd go to deny a creep, he would die before I get my attack off, and my hero would just run straight towards another enemy creep.

I've definitely seen it happen while running away too, and I don't "a-click" to move.
