[aeolist]

this is some clowny ass dota

 

[t0rment]

that empire throw making naga viable.

 

[Vade]

It's what happens when the whole hero is razor focused on a single skill. If it's good enough to be worth running it'll always be run, if not, it'll never be run.

The definition of feast or famine design.

Making people regret existing is the best ultimate ever.

 

[TUSR]

vade is slowly becoming more anime

 

[Russ T]

is anyone ever truly NOT anime

 

[Baha]

This secret draft is like a hodgepodge of crap I don't want to face in a pub.

But Doom still has a terrible cast point. Scorched Earth is the FOTM now.

It's Kuro stack

We back!

 

[Quesa]

Is it still bad form to post something you wrote r/dota 2? I wanna put those hero rankings up there but after the Matt thing last year it I think it might be uncouth. If someone wants to post it on there and reap the karma (or loss thereof) be my guest.

quoted for new page

 

[aeolist]

new doom is fucking stupid

 

[Sibylus]

 

[DrPizza]

I actually like Doom, I think he's fun to play and enjoy that he can be built in so many ways.

But oh god, do I not like seeing Doom in every damn game.

 

[Sigismundo]

Doom is my favourite hero.

I was ok with TI4 despite it being Objectively Terrible and I'm ok with this.

 

[Sibylus]

Reaper's Scythe level 1 is so shit, lmao

I know that life so, so much.

okay.

I had a BF sub 16 mins when I was mid on AM against SF last night ("normal" skill aka DA TRENCH)

My Windranger had a null talis and two oblivion staffs (and nothing else) at the end of the game

 

[Russ T]

then again

"string m_FriendlyName = "Pickup prevents respawning (HL3 only)""

 

[misses bull]

then again

"string m_FriendlyName = "Pickup prevents respawning (HL3 only)""

hl3 is a coop game

 

[Russ T]

hl3 is a coop game

i mean to be real for a moment: yeah in all likelihood that would be the case if hl3 ever released

interesting, we now have a barometer for showing us precisely how inflated euro mmr is; based on s4's recent performance, i can say with confidence that 8k euro mmr is about 2.8k na mmr

 

[Haly]

So GZZZ is like 300 MMR right?

u on drugs

1 EU MMR = 5 US MMR

6000 US MMR = 1200 EU MMR.

 

[Red UFO]

Russia is the worst server for MMR inflation that I've seen. Every body follows a guide to the absolute letter, and the whole thing is just a pick-off frenzy.

This users MMR: 10000 on RU

I'm 12K in yurop

patch

 

[SilentRacoon]

-Healing Salve and Clarity Potion now require a unit target rather than being an instant cast.

I liked this change, and was already getting used to it, oh well, guess the average player is incapable to adapt to even the smallest change.

it was bullshit for people with ALT item bindings

 

[Russ T]

it was bullshit for people with ALT item bindings

yeah it fucked me over multiple times

alt item bindings 4 lyfe

 

[Haly]

Re: Bindings

I used to ALT bind but I've since switched to Mouse4/Space/VZXC.

I encourage people to give it a few games, because it's a noticeable improvement in speed once you get used to it (which I still am not, entirely. I would like to rebind V to something further away from ZXC).

I'm also using quick cast now and haven't felt a need to rebind mid-game. Certain heroes would demand it no doubt, just not the ones I play.

(Mouse4, Space and V are also quick cast)

I use the number keys on my naga but it the alt change still hurt all the alt users out there

 

[Haly]

Yeah i don't disagree with this. It's one of the reasons I decided to move away from Alt. Ctrl + Alt + whatever was too much, and it seemed to be a growing pattern.

I use 3 for hero and 1 for courier to leave 2, 4, 5 for unit binds.

i used c v g for control groups
