Support NeoGAF

[elyetis]

The community would make everyone near 1:1 ports of their wc3 versions, ignoring all the neat design choices valve has made and instead declaring blizzard is the best because of reasons, even if the audio/visual cues of wc Dota are awful and the choices valve has taken with certain aspects of character and skill design are far superior.

Isn't it pretty much the opposite of what we saw happen with someone making a render of Techies looking exactly like Valve artwork for him( the one people think cyborgmatt used for his 1 april techies picture/video ) ?

I think the community making hero could be used after the parity is done ( so by TI6 ), it wouldn't mean a new hero by month or anything, nor would it mean that they wouldn't rework it before putting it ingame ( from skill choice and balance, to animation, etc.. ), but I think it could bring some good design ( both visualy and from a gameplay perspective ) into the game; while also improving their release speed ( who am I kidding ? ).

 

[Nymerio]

About when can we expect the TI4 compendium? Shouldn't it hit before the qualifiers?

 

[kionedrik]

I'm trying to get back into the game after a 2-3 month break. What are the current go-to carries? What about supports? I've seen a lot of AA lately and can't really understand the love.

The competitive community decided to acknowledge his existence after a mild buff to one of his lesser abilities for some reason, even though the main draw is the rest of his kit that has always been there

No? He started to get picked after cold touch and aghs buffs, AND ice vortex. It's no wonder cold feet is being maxed last right now. But mostly it's the absurd aghs he got, he stall pushes and win teamfights so easily with it from a safe distance. I'm expecting a slightly worse aghs upgrade (17->15 secs ) for a slightly better mana cost on cold feet (or better cd or whatever).

I'm looking the Defense of the Australians stream at work in lack of a interesting streams.

 

[Arkanius]

I miss a DOTA2 patch so much that it's not even funny.
Valve is coming back from their Easter holidays.

Please Valve, give it to us!

According to Reddit its due this week. LD said on his Twitter it's gonna include Techies but I'd take that with a grain of salt.

I should really stream tales from the COPPER trench.

EDIT: but then i'd have to get music to stream uhehuehuehu dunno

also my pc and connection don't think they can take streaming, i have an oldass piece of shit.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I'd watch your stream if you were actually ~2000 MMR (or lower) tier. I wonder what games at that MMR look like.

 

[Fevaweva]

I played a game yesterday with a supporting Sven. Not even joking.

Needless to say we lost the game.

Supporting Sven is actually fine. Supporting Nature's Prophet ain't but that's what makes this Australian stream hilarious.

Not sure if it will happen this week, but in the next 15 days seems more like it.

Why would anyone listen to LD, the man is missing the cognitive reasoning side of his brain and gets lost in the team fights.
Do not know what is happening? scream about nonexistent buybacks into fights and will like you for some reason. Maybe because the other casters are racist aussies, aussies that use low population to boost their solo mmr, scream about bagels into breadsticks or one of your other 7 phrases, or be blaze who is a literal tumor on the ass of society.

spk is right. AA's buffs have been lingering around for a good long while, it took quite a bit of time (and some poking by the frog) to get teams to finally use him.

I just feel like its a waste of a hero. Sven is designed to kick ass, not keep other people alive. His stun was super useful though.

 

[Nymerio]

What's so bad about supporting sven? I've never seen that but he has a ranged stun, warcry to boost armor and movement speed and an ultimate that gives him some bonus damage, and you could potentially go carry if needed. A bit similar to alchi, right?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Personally, I think support Sven with a Blink Dagger is more useful than carry Sven. He's doesn't really kick that much ass as a carry until he's really stacked. And there are better 5 or 6 slotted carries.

I've run supporting Blink Sven quite a few times and it worked out fine.

When's the last time you've seen a carry Sven be super effective in a competitive match?

Got to figure out as quickly as possible after the 6.81 patch who is OP to get some ez wins.

Today, I purchased a month of Dotabuff plus and apparently, I have an all time winrate of a whopping 36.56% against Zeus (101 games). This motherfucker is ruining my pubs, I didn't even realize.

edit: And merely 40% winrate against Luna in over 120 games, holy shit.

I don't need help how to play against Zeus, cyka. It just came as a shocking revelation because I regard him as ass tier and can't recall getting stomped this reliably by that hero.

How is Dotabuff plus?

Was it worth the money?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Well, it's kinda fun looking at those stats but I don't think I'll buy another month. If you give me a link to your profile, I could tell you which hero wrecks you in pubs.

 

[Krauser Kat]

i played juggernaut for the first time in 75 games. I always thought he was a STR hero. Jesus he is squishy until i bought a vanguard. Plus they had a zeus with a refresher orb.

maybe it is because other supports got nerfed too.

Your sample size is a bit too small to provide adequate results but whatever, here you go:

The number in the middle is the one you should look at. In 14 games against Bounty, you managed to win merely 28.57%. There are quite a lot of heroes you've played liked once or twice against and lost which is why you got quite a lot of 0%'s there.

 

[Kade]

Would be cool if you could random a hero within a set parameter. Random Support, Random Carry, Random Disabler, etc. Sometimes I want to play a specific role but don't care which hero.

Ursa is your nemesis (8% winrate). Then comes Sand King (35% winrate).

I think 6.80 stats are more meaningful.

And do not mix unqualified results with the meaningful results: he cannot deal with Ursa.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Ursa is your nemesis (8% winrate). Then comes Sand King (35% winrate).

That's his 6.80 stats. His all time stats are different.
