so yu-gi-oh is the next anime ive chosen to watch, that way i understand and can talk about the lore with true yu-gi-oh experts, and i can totally learn how to play the card game too

it's the most unintentionally awful and hilarious anime i've ever watched

Personally, I just read the Manga, pretty good stuff. The Anime adds several arcs though, some of which are sort of cool. Manga still got taken over by cards, but the pacing was a lot better.

Monster Hunter is approximately 10x more fun than Dota, and their thread is way less shit.

MMR: 7

 

[Hylian7]

This thread went weird places.

 

[NormalFish]

Will there be an MMR crunch when people start getting to 9999?

*forgot my MMR.

3k

 

[JC Sera]

tusk is so annoying now, i'm over that hero

Let him finally have his moment in the sun
rather tusk than some boring carry hero anyday

btw I think the nerf techies got yesterday was lost among the fashion talk

http://store.steampowered.com/news/17548/

Temporarily reverted a recent out of band change that considered the killer to always be part of the AoE gold regardless of distance

 

[twobear]

why couldn't it be an icon like phoenix

does this mean that techies no longer gets gold for killing with mines?

nah, only affects things like if he mostly kills someone then like zues finishes them off I think.

They get the regular bounty but no aoe gold if they are 1300 range away. Which can be very big if the enemy is ahead.

 

[twobear]

i can't gauge that change off the top of my head, i'll have to see stats

http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Gold#Assists_.28AoE_gold.29

For a solo kill more than 1300 range away, its at least 100 gold less every kill, more depending on their networth and if your team is behind.

This affects other heroes like sunstrike kills, assasinate, damage over time kills etc, but almost every kill techies gets is at range.

 

[SilentRacoon]

I finally have seen the tusk at the end of the tunnel, he is so much fun, just played him against a lycan and jugger, he gives no fucks about jugger spinning blades or fluffy wolves.

It fucks Techies. They first did this by accident when the gold/XP rules were reworked in 6.83. They fixed the problem but now have reverted the fix.

Death to all Techies haters.

This thread is tragically lacking in cute girls doing cute things.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

When a match fails because someone doesn't connect, why can't the game just find a different player who is queuing to replace them?

[Trickster]

How are you supposed to play tusk?

I couldn't really make him work well at all. Would die quickly in teamfights, and have a hard time killing enemy heroes by myself, even if I get al lthe abilities off on them

 

[Haly]

You're not a solo killer unless you're fed.

Find a friend.
Start rolling toward someone squishy (CM).

Get out.
Repeat.

He works especially well with natural divers like BB, UD and DS.

bloodcyka is the cancer now, 9/10 of my games has him.

literally just buy a bottle and run around the map spamming your abilities

Well I never rush into snowball after seeing an enemy, in my past game I waited for jugg ulti then targeted his support with the mighty ball, after that the ice wall and a few rightclicks will take care of the rest. But remember that his abilities are very dynamic an can be used as well for both offensively and defensively, for example you can block yourself in a corner if BS ruptures you.

 

[twobear]

spam ice thingy about seven times to soften them up, then snowball in, ice thingy again, and then punch

I feel like the end-of-thread discussion never died this time around.

 

[call_kotaku]

finished anti-mage for the compendium challenge

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1635857802

Still felt awkward as fuck even though I got pretty much free farm and storm + TA were kind enough to jump right in my face and get facerolled by mana break. I keep missing my blinks and having that walk of shame pathfinding around a ledge or tower, I didn't realize it's an important skill. Also need to know better what skills I can manta dodge.

 

[Chris R]

Yup. Wonder if we get a pre ti tuning patch

 

[Sigismundo]

Aghs/Deso WR is very amusing if you're the only person on your team that can kill towers well.

 

[shira]

Holy shit this 10 hour old link still works, if you want TI5 tickets.

http://click.tmclient.ticketmaster....56fc22b23c37fca145cb4ce954d095de56e53caf931bf

I guess Valve really wants to pack them in there, lol 400 extra tickets. I went all the way to the payment screen

So much salt in this eternalenvyy, ppd vs arteezy game, hopefully some one screencapped the C9 shot.

 

[Schweinehund]

I don't think I can get into this game anymore. It's so different from when I played around 6.78. It just doesn't have that hook any more. Sucks because I was looking to play now I have more free time.

tusk is so annoying now, i'm over that hero

why sis tusk is good hunky hero that deserves love

What one where PPD replied to RTZ saying something like C9 will not meet secret since they will lose to someone like NAR round 1

EE had them muted most of the match didn't he?

quick get the best items for the next fotm so you can sell them for twice the price

Techies is the most cerebral hero. Are you smarter than the other 9 players to kill, win, and not get reported into LPQ

644 MMR, trench and proud

 

[JC Sera]

so what do you guys think of the new r/dota2 layout?

 

[twobear]

why sis tusk is good hunky hero that deserves love

the way that if you get a bottle he has literally zero mana issues any more

Haz wanted me to post impressions on Haikyuu so here it is.

I've just finished watching the first 6 episodes and I gotta say, coming from Kuroko this show is exactly what I was looking for. Up until now it seems like the same thing except instead of basketball it's volleyball and the characters are all new of course. Right now there hasn't been a lot of focus on the matches themselves and I hope that changes once they've moved on to official matches, but I kinda like it when shows pace themselves slowly at the start. Also I liked the twist at the end of the first episode, maybe I should've seen that coming but I didn't.

As for concerns, I don't know if they can keep up with how crazy Kuroko got at the end, I just don't see the potential with volleyball, I hope to be proven wrong though.

I like it.

let me just call icefrog real quick.

and why the fuck all the bloodcancer that are in my team like so much to rupture abaddon? how dumb can you be, i'm pretty sure that people with down's syndrome are smarter than then.

 

[bounchfx]

I'd love to continue my All hero challenge.. I just wish Techies wasn't staring me down T___T

 

[shira]

Don't worry, customer support told a redditor that the preorders were more likely to go live in the evening than the morning (presumably PST, WeLoveFine and Valve are both on PST). You still have some time for it to work. They have confirmed to me by email that the sale does not start at midnight, and they will officially announce the time "very soon" (as of 7 hours ago...)

My guy better get me 5 of those keyboard codes.

Sorry, no super shonen powerups. You get a little bit and it's used similar to Kuroko.
The matches are so goooooooood. Ep 1 is so gooooooood.

 

[Saprol]

Yeah but can you imagine if Haikyu had super powers. Everybody loves super powered athletes.
