the person who makes the most money in TF2 makes around 500,000 a year.
Take that as you will. I don't really know how much the highest Dota contributor makes.
Me, as a lowly single digit contributor on 3 items, make around 500 a year :x

That's a lot of rubels.
Had easily my best Earth Spirit game today. I wrecked an OD mid that was terrible, and then this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8KiUkkRl8M
Edit: So apparently you can roll across Power Cogs without getting zapped by them and can still do Rolling Boulder out of Battery Assault. They might be bugs.

It punishes you for not knowing a lot of things, but yes, not knowing the capabilities of all 100+ heroes is definitely one of them. Welcome to Dota, enjoy your homework.
I'm going to put a little more time into and see if it pays off. It's frustrating having the enemy warp to you off screen then stun and kill you. That part doesn't make any sense unless I'm missing something. So far it has not been a good experience.
It seems ridiculously overpowered and stupid when you first begin, but the more you learn the more you see how it's actually easy to avoid/beat/whatever. When I first started I thought some shit was the most OP (Riki), now I look forward to playing against that since it's an easy win.
Lol this is hilarious
wow red moon ixm courier
At least in DOTA you can select their hero and see what their abilities do. In LoL you can't.

Oh god why did he share this? The texture hasn't even been worked on yet T_T
Can't fucking wait
Im deciding to stick with viper for the moment. which is probably a bad choice for a beginner. Hopefully it will force me to play better and understand the mechanics better.

As far as carries/gankers go Viper is pretty good for a new player. He has the world's easiest last hitting and Viper Strike is a very strong ult.
At least you picked up him rather than Sniper.

Valve, if you want to add Ranked, you need to do somethnig very important.
Listen. Listen to me.
You have to - pay attention. You HAVE to increase the number of reports per week from 2 to 200. Minimum.

As a lowly map maker, I made $500 once from the Swamp Theme pack. I sent my maps to Valve to see if they would play it during their custom map day, but never got a reply so I assume they either didn't like it or were just ignoring me, hehe.
Alright good to know! Is it better to play and buy items based on feel or should I follow one of the dotafire guides? This whole game seems so daunting.
Even more ded than Dota.

I'm actually really impressed with how in depth they explained their matchmaking in that post.
Good on ya Valve.
Also I'm glad it's a wholly separate mmr. Also glad it's a 150 match minimum to keep 99% of smurfs out.
Also my baller lich is too good.

Follow the recommended items for a start then go by feel once you get more experience. I wouldn't recommend using Dotafire.
They got clock blocked so hard lol

Wait did he just pull the whole mydotaskill site down?
I can't access it anymore lol

Good to see that Valve are doing the whole communicating thing now. I guess they took diretidegate (is that what we call it now?) to heart. Hopefully we can look forward to them sharing their plans for the future from now on.
Give Documentary
I'd pay to see that.
Isn't it just one guy doing it though? he said it was just experimental.
I was referring to free to play that was supposed to come out like a month ago actually haha.
I'd buy a set pack to watch that.
Really. I think they need to be given some credit for basically making a tl;dr on the matter after getting shit on for lack of communication about the Diretide thing. Whether you care about it or not the MMR thing is one of the most hotbed issues for the game. I kind of wish they wouldn't have separate modes for ranked and unranked, since with all the tryhards I play with we already treat every shit tier pub like it's TI grand finals anyways.
I like that they went out of their way to say that they don't enforce a win percentage when I KNOW IT TO BE FALSE!
Well, just had three crushing defeats in a row. First two were captain's draft - my first foray. Both times the captain decided for a 4 protect 1 strat without any actual protecting which led to the carry getting destroyed early and us being steam rolled.
Decided to just queue for a simple random draft. Ended up in another 4 support vs team carry...
At least I got a lot of support practice in.

You have brought honor to the House of Lich. But never forget who rules this kingdom.
