Okay.


Should I ignore the rest of the advice because they're noobs/feeders?

you asked for lane counters, and people recommended life stealer or am.

a majority of the time zeus is mid

always buy a wand against zeus

the others are fine, i mean i wouldnt lane a melee carry against zeus personally tho. i highly recommend using viper against zeus if you've just stated learning. max corrosive skin and anytime zeus casts a spell, he'll severely slow himself. you can literally stay on zeus' side of the river and he can't do anything without dying. od however is not good against zeus IMO, zeus will wave clear too fast and OD can't punish it very well without sacrificing too much health unless you have rotations

I know he wasn't mentioned earlier but what melees CAN you run against mid Zeus? DK? Faceless Void?

u literally say that every patch i think its safe to say its ok to ignore ur posts

na

i always say the meta gets stale at some point (which it does). in this case it's a very different and new feeling for me to have no desire whatsoever to actually play dota, whereas in the past 8 or so years i've constantly played despite new patch, old patch, shit patch, great patch. it's quite liberating but at the same time kinda ??? i don't kno what it is about this particular patch so i can't point to anything specifically

that might be different for you bro and that's A OK, different experiences are what make us different people and i ain't guna passive aggressively dismiss ur own view on any particular patch or hero, that ain't me

That's been my game of choice. Although I might dive into Bloodborne since I picked it up at Amazon a few weeks back and haven't even played it. The current version of PoE has been the most interesting iteration of the game I've seen so far.

i am indeed the king of hyperbole (and constantly editing/revising my posts but it just ain't hyperbole this time to say i just got no desire to dotes, that's just the straight up truth. that's why im hopin a new patch reinvigorates my doto love

but yeah this poe season is absolutely godlike, everyone that enjoys diablo or a good arpg should get into poe btw, all of us in mumblegaf are playin and having a blast

 

[twobear]

you are all dumb and my opinion is the only one that matters

 

[misses bull]

People are really using random draft in ranked

i didn't catch any of the dotapit finals, were there any games worth watching?

not really, just sloppy play from NA/EU and Koreans executing

watching EG stans get swept up by the Hurricane of MVP is worth watching.

I wonder if he got booted or wanted to leave

zai back or khezzu to secret

 

[inkls]

I do, no result so far however

 

[Red UFO]

He can't have been kicked, surely. I swear his natures prophet was a key component to them winning the major.

Maybe he wasn't getting along with the team.

Zai

 

[StrongArmSteady]

Rip Moosery

 

[call_kotaku]

we're dealing with EE here, remember

 

[inkls]

we're dealing with EE here, remember

who is not the captain this time I thought. I mean, Puppey has the say here right?

 

[NormalFish]

Zai pl0x

 

[Gav47]

wtf, if you had told me misery got kicked pre major I wouldn't have been surprised but he really stepped up to the plate during Shanghai, pro dota is a cutthroat business

 

[StrongArmSteady]

Wtf is happening w33 too?

[Sigismundo]

While we are discussing Misery and W33 (apparently) getting booted I am watching Merlini play Necro.

He has the sick TI5 Necro set. I want it. One of you guys gimme.

 

[Gav47]

pls no rtz, pls no rtz, pls no rtz, pls no rtz,

Moon called this yesterday? Isn't Puppey the only person that was on Secret before TI5 to today?

 

[manfestival]

that feeling when batman vs superman is getting terrible reviews but I still plan on watching the movie because ITS BATMAN VS SUPERMAN

If that's referring to secret, I could see it being a management decision, rather than puppy. Hard to say, though.

 

[misses bull]

If this ends up with zai+EE+rtz I'm gonna fangay harder then Ive ever fangayed

 

[Artanisix]

singsong and zyori to team secret Kreygasm

 

[StrongArmSteady]

I beliEEve

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Does SingSing even want to play ProDota anymore? He probably makes more just clowning around in solo queue.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Nobody that's interested in winning would want Sing on their team.

 

[Qvoth]

kicking misery i guess is fine if you can get zai, but w33 as well? who's gonna replace him?
secret to literally disband after manila
man i'm really disappointed with secret now

 

[W1SSY]

Sing is stacking with Bone7 again but I imagine they will disband after failing to qualify.

 

[Anbokr]

DRAMA

i felt like misery improved A LOT in the past few months though and was one of the big reasons why secret won the major, surprised to see him go

 

[misses bull]

esports drama is better then patch notes

 

[Sigismundo]

http://teamsecret.gg/

Yep, both gone.

Wait never mind they've been readded

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Always change a winning team

Winning sucks

 

[Dreams-Visions]

dota drama is actually the best drama in gaming.

 

[misses bull]

I was gonna queue up for a game but now I can't with all this drama

[Qvoth]

kicking w33 is literally the dumbest thing i've ever seen, still can't believe it
