he was pretty bad this tournament

Who wasn't on C9?

 

[Doctor Robofinger]

One fucking game left to get the 15 wins in reborn achievement

7 losses in a fucking row fuck this fuck-ass game

Co-op bot games count towards that achievement. Just queue for an Easy bot game and get everyone to push mid with you.

bigdaddyN0lans had pretty strong memes, that has to be redeeming right ? i love memes

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

nothing personal with notail, but I said a long time ago. big changes are needed that's for sure.

Are we able to unearth new talent?

Maybe sumails brother Yawar might be picked up by teams.

 

[NormalFish]

Only way their roster changes is if sumail takes a break for studying or something. which imo unlikely

or maybe fear retires.

Dude should definitely move to coaching. Then they'll pick up Zyzzy. pls.

team memers more like
that would be the perfect team to hate though

throw in korok as coach

Don't EE and RTZ basically play the same position though?

 

[call_kotaku]

Don't EE and RTZ basically play the same position though?

RTZ generally plays as a farming mid that takes his lane dominance and early farm to put pressure on the other lanes and take objectives. EE plays a greedy carry that uses the space provided by aggressive support rotations to get a lot of gold which he can then feed repeatedly to the enemy carry.

Not the same role, but probably not enough farm on the map for them to fulfill both their roles

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

RTZ prefers mid while EE prefers safelane, but yes they both play the 1 position. EE is basically forced to give up playing some of the greedier carries for it to work out.

I agree with the conclusion. There's probably enough farm on the map for both of them technically, but the other 3 heroes on their team would be in a constant state of gold starvation.

two bear & tusr - I will be good today. With less Indians in the party this time. Apologies for his lack of decorum. Apparently he had little home training.

how am i supposed to impulse buy BH demihero if it's backordered

BH demi is by far the best one yet. Very impressed with it.

Sure it was two years ago, but it worked before.

I should rewatch this tournament. It was really fun.

Doom is only good when he gets his ult, so do whatever it takes to get there quickly. There's really no helping your team with Doom until you hit 6.

ICEFROG BUFF PLS

LVL? DEATH is strong.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Lvl? Death is weird and does not fit in Doom's skillset at all, I hope they completely scrap it and think of a skill that's actually reliable and not dumb.

 

[la_briola]

EE should just go back to support, he was great at it.

 

[kasane]

I remember EE saying on stream that he was an offlaner at heart when he was playing an offlane lone druid

i honestly think it could work

 

[StrongArmSteady]

Eh, I know someone who's moving to Vancouver in a few months.

spill the beans...is he planning on playing competative dota?

I remember EE saying on stream that he was an offlaner at heart when he was playing an offlane lone druid

I dont care what role they play, i just want them on the same team. #LoveWillConquerAll

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Sure it was two years ago, but it worked before.

Interesting. Yea, I suppose there's no reason to believe that it simply cannot work, as both players are certainly skilled enough to change their styles as needed to be successful. It'd be interesting to watch, but if their goal is winning more tournaments, I'm just not sure if their reunion will help them achieve those goals.

that's be cool too.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Did they remove double tap to self-cast in Reborn btw? Makes LC a bit more difficult

Tryharding isn't working out for them either.

It's still there.

 

[lv2 pidgey]

I think it's turned off by default in the options.

 

[StrongArmSteady]

I just found that dota subreddit

 

[G.ZZZ]

Daily reminder that i'm bad at this game.

 

[SilentRacoon]

I just found that dota subreddit

You have sparked my curiosity now, what subreddit are we talking about here?

 

[KingKong]

it involves a certain rule I assume

 

[Ikuu]

Probably the Dota Smut subreddit.

 

[Shuggananas]

rule 34 dota ?
taking a guess here i have no idea what you talkin about

 

[Haly]

It's probably r/3kpeoplehate

Disgusting trolls, all of them.

 

[StrongArmSteady]

Probably the Dota Smut subreddit.

yep

 

[Head of Vengarl]

r/dota2smut

I'm guessing that's what they were referring to. Sure it's weird but it's not vomit-worthy.

 

[NormalFish]

Ya'll just found out about it? Don't spend much time on reddit, I suppose?

 

[SilentRacoon]

I was expecting something else, after having seen the nightmares sonic communities have brought into this world, this just looks tame in comparison.

Lvl? Death is one of the most reliable nukes in the game. You have to know which level the ennemy is, or anticipate a level-up, nothing too hard. It is strong early on, and it it scales well.

in a game with tens of nukes that have comparable damage and don't have a bullshit condition like "oh, target needs to be X level", how is it possibly ones of the most reliable nukes in the game?

Cast time is very short (0.3 s). I use it when ganking or chasing some guys who think they can escape after being doomed.

Lina's laguna blade is 50% longer to cast.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

In a teamfight you can't possibly have the time to check levels and levelups are not predictable so it's all a crapshoot. The only time that you could use it effectively is when you're ganking and you either coincidentally have it leveled up perfectly or you were holding the levelups(which you can do once or twice a match). Not reliable.

Just press tab (or whichever key is bound to it) to access the learboard with KDA before the fight, and you know the levels of everyone.

Or when ganking, you teleport to a tower and gank when the opponent gets level 6, which you can check using the KDA screen or just by moving the camera from time to time.

I mean, it is not like it requires more than a second to know or anticipate the levels of all 10 players. Only one key pressed, that is it.

 

[Bilix]

Lvl? Death is useful for the ministun and blowing a Linken's Sphere charge alone. The damage is just the icing on the cake.

I miss playing Doom.

 

[Acti]

I kinda see Rtz and EE on the same team easily.

 

[manfestival]

its essentially a prediction along the lines of universe and aui being united. so I guess EE and rtz are going to be together. I see Zai going wherever RTZ is

 

[M.D]

I've got the Bloodseeker, Visage, Slardar and Alchemist immortals from the new chests and looking to trade for immortals from the compendium

They're not tradable but can be gifted. If anyone is interested PM me plx

 

[Pratfall]

I wish batrider wasn't nerfed into outerspace. I love that hero.

Honestly don't understand how people can enjoy batrider. DoT + single target initiation ability just feels so static. That said, when the hero's good he's super good and I love having one in my team, so no complaints there.

yep, he confirmed with me
