I should really start playing custom games but the quantity of modes is so haunting, and their quality so questionable, that I inevitably fall back into the default 5v5...

Skillshot Wars is the defining mod of our generation.

 

[Drkirby]

Just take Alch from Dota Imba, and import him into normal Dota, Problem Solved. .7 BAT is totally balanced.

That's why you gotta try out stuff to find the gold

Epic Boss Fight

Balance in epic boss fight is more important than 6.85 tbh

 

[Razzer]

I haven't been eager to share it with 6.85 being inevitable, but essentially you want to go Radiance over Battlefury. Radiance gives you exactly what you need; constant AOE farm, high damage, and ehp through miss chance. From there you go SNY or BKB depending on how heavy their burst is. Then your third item is a Butterfly for the massive attack speed and even more miss chance; at this point in the game you're practically unkillable, especially with your team backing you.

With greevils greed you should be able to maintain around double the gpm of the enemy carry. Leverage this into map control by buying items that let you fight and stay alive. That's the thought process between my three core items of Radiance, Butterfly, and Sny or BKB. After that point, build what you need for the game. MKB, basher, ac, daedalusn and heart are all great items on Alchemist. By the time they get MKB, you'll be stacked like crazy.

Thanks, I'll try this (when I'm back at my computer in several days).

As for the custom games, I mentioned this in the thread in gaming but I think Valve should eventually start setting up a thing where each weekend you can get hats by playing one or two specific custom games. With so many to pick from and no obvious way to distinguish what to pick people can suffer from consumer paralysis, so giving games that Valve feel are particularly great a chance to get a big playerbase for a couple days could be great publicity.

Give Greevil's Greed an active component where you give up to 400g from your pool to someone else. 30 second cooldown.

 

[kionedrik]

wtf is this???

 

[Imp the Dimp]

wtf is this???

Fake?

 

[Drkirby]

A fake image that has been floating around for 1+ Month

 

[Shuggananas]

lol just reading that huskar change what a load of bull

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

If that Huskar buff was real I'd quit Dota, I experienced Ghost Scepter Huskar, never again.

Didn't even read the rest.

 

[Shuggananas]

if your gonna do a fake changelog at least proof read it geez

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I'm actually not sure how Sheever has fun with Dota. She doesn't have a single fun hero in her portfolio.

 

[Shuggananas]

getting money for playing dota is fun, ask unemployed people

 

[kionedrik]

Life Break applying Break is interesting but the other one... yeah.

I liked the Jakiro ulti, seemed like something crazy IF would think of.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

you say some dumb shit sometimes, i have to say

im a complete noob and even i am sometimes dumbfounded by your """""""""""""4k wisdom""""""""""""""

lol whenever I call a hero bad, someone who enjoys playing him feels personally offended. Look, your enjoyment and your personal succes with him is irrelevant. He's not a good hero under any circumstances, but in pubs it's not that big a deal because you can draft 5 carries and win. Anything can potentially work. Hell, I won a game with Alchemist lately.

You can pick Jak an win or you can alternatively pick one of the significantly stronger supports and win easier. Why not just do that?

not sure you know understand the words you're using.

I enjoy her streams quite a bit. If she had a better hero pool, her stream would be top tier.

Best streamers:

1. Blitz
2. Draskyl
3. Purge
4. Merlini
5. winteR (super rare)
6. Bulldog
7. Sheever
8. Moonmenader
9. Synderen (don't like him at all but stream is quite good)

So basically any non meme-spewer other than Bulldog. He's just really fun.

 

[Haly]

RTZ is the best streamer.

top meme would dank again

 

[Imp the Dimp]

huh

Moonmeander doesn't meme. Not as far as I remember. I recall learning to keep creep equilibrium in lane when he played AM once. Was pretty helpful.

In my opinion: a good stream comes down to these factors:

- consistent commentary, no music only
- funny
- no or few memes
- no child
- playing pubs, preferably solo ranked

 

[1.09]

>Blitz stream

also

You should probably take your own advice on this matter buddy

 

[Zoon]

10v10 is the best shit,best game I played in a long time

 

[KingKong]

ppd streams are the best

'auto loss'

 

[Artanisix]

that feel when imp says a hero is horrible 4Head

 

[Artanisix]

Jakiro is not good under any circumstance

Bounty hunter does everything jakiro does but better

 

[Chris R]

When is 6.85? I want to play again, as much fun as it is watching bad NA teams play

 

[kionedrik]

Oracle is the only auto-loss hero

Good job IF

 

[t0rment]

give 6.85

 

[Monochromaticx]

Oracle is the only auto-loss hero

Good job IF

he is so situational now

 

[Zeknurn]

I've been waiting for someone to do this.

The new studio Moonduck will host their first tournament with an all-new Elimination game mode, wherein every hero can only be picked or banned once every series. As such, a wide pool of heroes is to be expected. Starting the 17th of September, eight teams from Europe and North America will face off in best of threes, which will be played online.

What's next All Pick tournament?

 

[twobear]

[W1SSY]

I really like the idea of elimination mode. I am glad DC is continuing to run non-typical tournaments.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Not bad.

 

[kionedrik]

[twobear]

was there ever a reason to think otherwise?

everyone at the time was like' oh it's so powerful now, it purges constantly'

yeah okay every like twenty minutes

 

[Shorty11857]

That Moonduck tournament sounds like it'll be fun to watch. Looking forward to seeing the new Col in action anyway

 

[Monochromaticx]

Okay, Dota imba is great

 

[gai_shain]
