About items, there seems to be different rarity tier of items, are the end-match reward restricted to only common stuff, or do you have a chance (as slim as it is) to get something more rare ?

You can get anything from a sven sword to the 30 dollar lina hair dropping in your game.

(there are some things that don't drop but those are because reasons)

Chest contents, keys, #ESPORTS tickets (and their promo items), team pennants and newer cosmetic sets don't drop.

Everything else is fair game.

How do you say "first round eliminated" in troll?

Man Ferrari got an overhaul?

Don't forget that Immortals don't drop either, of course.

Ancient, strange, unusual, user-made, and there is one more. I forget - whatever the internal one is that just errors.
Glad to hear the red X's don't fart out anymore though.

Newer custom key chests No - Treasure of Rarities because they are all strange - sorta.
Brown Key chests and some of the older key chests yes.

I don't know about the newer cosmetics. I got a Tusk one and a wolf one almost the same week - and the new enchantress one - but all commons - IE force you to buy the set. I know they had a period where none of the new stuff dropped, but I think that's changed now. I think some sets just don't drop at all.

Do you not get drops in Captain's Mode?
Sure,. just not tourney or practice modes.

There's an annoying bug where if you use the select your hero hotkey you cant click on the minimap to change the camera until you click somewhere else. Annoying when playing multi unit heros...

Weird just played a game there and no one got drops, wish there was an option to give the Captain role to someone else

Low priority, nobody RNG'd an item, nobody level'd up. It happens

seems odd, did you enable the minimap delay in your console?

45% of the game spent raging and having shit games

More time spent having fun than WoW I'm sure.

I never really understood how people could play games that they didn't really enjoy all the time but now I get it.

I play in hopes of a good game. Hoping that the hours of frustration and anger pay off. So yea, kinda like an abusive husband.

What happened to the queue system? Games are faster but I'm getting queued with south americans. Obviously they could just be queuing EU but I doubt it.

At least dota's breath doesn't smell of alcohol and vomit when it's mistreating you.

I'm sure South Americans aren't as bad as Russians, having more than one in your team is ggwp go next. Someone needs to do a study on why they can't play doto

I'm guessing they click all servers since they are in a pay/hour cybercafe
Maybe drunk since it's a cybercafe? Can you drink in cybercafe's round your neck of the woods.

Korean ones you can. Nothin better than cheap booze and cheap gaming on a top spec rig. Only thing missing was poop service
 
Something that bothers me. Im trying to kill Skywrath mage, hes almost dead and starts running. Im right clicking him as Lina, use the first ability but hes out of range. So I use force staff, get closer to him and once my char lands he stops and auto attack the nearby creep. Seriously wtf soooo fucking annoying I didnt stop trying to attack the hero once.
 
Only need 4 more player cards now for the complete set

DDC, Yao, Slayer and Dendi

Anyone got any spares they'd be willing to trade? I can give you FzFz or Goblak

literal translation would be knife tower

刀塔 = Dāo tǎ = dota

Works on so many levels

You forgot the Lina checklist.

Yeah what's with this. It happens whenever I try and blink icewall with invoker. He turns round and auto-attacks something after the blink the wall ends up pointing the wrong way. (guess I just need to move a step after blinking but still it's annoying.)

Edit: don't think that's it, it's off for me.

Auto-attacking has its drawbacks, but it makes killing while chasing an enemy and most importantly last hits much easier. I used to switch it off when I first started Dota too, but if you want to ever play as a carry/ganker, switching it on is probably the best way to play.
