This is just stupid. Like 90% of Dota cinema's content is posted by other users unaffiliated with dc.
I think a reddit admin has some vendetta against esports or something, this is seriously making me question my use of reddit if they're going to be dweebs about everything

All the major community members of the Dota 2 community are going to be banned on reddit at this rate lol. Workshop contributors are probably next.
How ridiculous, this is just shameful to watch unfold. I wonder how long before reddit goes the way of digg.

The process to avoid bans on reddit consists in having other people post the links for you.

there's nowhere else for them to go to though. all the other communities are either too small (this one, for example) or considered "toxic"/bad somehow (nadota, playdota, d2g)
valve is probably not interested in promoting their forums for this too, since it's not a job one of their employees would find interesting

nadota and d2g are the worst places on earth
Aye.
What is d2g, I have never seen it

4chan's dota 2 thread
Dota 2 General on 4chan's /vg/ (video game generals board).
Remember that team "/d2g/ Ocelots" that GAF stomped in 10 minutes in the Giant Bomb tournament? That was /d2g/
"You have randomed Dazzle!"
'Sweet, this should be fun, I love this hero!'
"Enemy dude has randomed Ancient Apparition!"
'...'
Then an automatic Windows update shut down my laptop after I had just won us the early game by ganking ( and getting exp from pulls etc). I get back and we still manage to win... and I just found out I got an abandon for it.
Sigh.

Spectre is one of the only heroes that a mid-game radiance is good on. The increased ability to afk farm with the synergy from her global teamfight presence and the fact that it carries to all of her illusions and makes every teamfight miserable for the enemy team pushes it over the edge IMO

I think it will be neat. People will have to rely on others to post stuff and people will have to be more critical in upvoting, instead of CBSmatt name recognition.
If content is good enough it will find it's way onto the front page instead of mods bumping the same old people to the top everyday. It was starting to feel like Matt could almost manipulate threads to get insane amount of upvotes no matter what the topic was simply by commenting.
so i just had a spectre game where i instapicked her, next two people picked furion and ember, after that one of the two remaining guys raged, and said that he was going duo offlane with the other player
so i was stuck solo safe with spectre against windrunner, pretty much an impossible lane for anything else than leeching experience
still had great success with getting the few last hits i could get, going vanguard->diff->manta in a slow pace, only using haunt to get to the fights and tping back to get any farm i could
I really think spectre is an amazing hero in pubs, it's practically a timer regardless of how it is going, the most important thing is that you farm the best you can given your situation. This time my team mates got on all other lanes, including jungle, so any farm I got was a huge deal.
And why did I go diffusal? If you're radiance is done post 20-25 min, it's probably not gonna do much. Diffusal is actually a heavier carry item, and gives you a better transition to the late game. Radiance is especially good when it can leverage your farm, or cancel the first important blinks of your enemy supports, but otherwise if you're going for late game items diffusal is really fucking good and is even actually still good in your "6-slot".

Dota 2 Reddit is the closest thing we have to an official forum. Anything Matt would have posted is probably going to make it to the top anyway, so it seems entirely pointless and we'll lose good insight from Matt in comments sections of random questions. When does the line get drawn? Are tournaments at risk of making announcements via reddit? Are workshop artists unable to gain feedback before they submit a set?

Chipping in to say hello. I have 700 hours but I still suck and haven't posted on dotaGAF. I didn't think I was worthy enough.
My winrate is 47% if anyone wants to learn how to play badly at 20fps with the render bar down all the way, I'm your man.

Man, unless you post your own theories about what's imba when you aren't literally arteezy, there's no reason to not post here. That's the only time when you actually get shit talked here.

Competitive Dota 2 matches have got so greedy again.
I miss the days of Pugna pushing racks at 12 minutes.

Yeah, that dts dota
This is what got you questioning reddit?
But yeah, that subreddit has been sort of floundering on a lot of fronts for awhile now. I used to go for the discussion when the game was in early beta. Granted, most of it was fairly basic things about game mechanics or what heroes do but it seems that you're likely to get an actual game thread once in a blue moon when everything else is just people posting fanart, people advertising tournaments or people posting something a streamer did in the last 24 hours.
Ice Blast counters Shadow Weave, Shallow Grave counters Ice Blast(for one hero, anyway). Not that bad of a match up.

Why the hell would you watch cwm's stream? :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Did you appreciate the echo->blink dota THAT much?
Unfortunately, not enough Tony on Dadstrim these days. I imagine the time conversion and cross-oceanic latency makes it tough.
I think I missed him streaming altogether.

I just used to go on his channel and ask him if he used to look up to Hagi and if he had pictures of Hagi on his wall and did he want to be Hagi when he was younger.

Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat. I have a recurring nightmare of drifting to my computer, opening up my Dota 2 Streams bookmark and not seeing that 15k streamer, so as I click on arteezy's stream all I hear is Yung Lean in the background and derivatives of "we won boys". I try to prove Singu has higher mmr and scream "mimimi" but to no avail. Then, a dim light ignites the room, and I see the whole of team C9 surrounding me. "victory stream 20 minutes from now http://twitch.tv/sing_sing" Singu says with a grin on his face. As he pulls down his pants, Singu says "Shoot Arrow Catch Arrow". This is the point where I usually wake up. I haven't slept well for weeks and I'm waiting for someone to give the teams the beating they deserve. I'm beginning to think TI4 might be my last chance, and I'm praying for Singu to take
Dota2 actually does have an official forum, but who really wants to post there.
