Support NeoGAF

[kvk1]

I just found this out, might be useful for someone:

If you use the -novid in your start-up commands within Steam, the game makes the mini-map icons unnecessarily blurry/low-res looking.

This is especially noticeable if you use a custom "dota_minimap_hero_size" setting that is larger than the default 600.

I didn't understand why the Test client map looked so much sharper until now. It was the absence of -novid.

Have a go.

Damn, how strong is abaddon? Dude has so many amazing tools I find it hard to not do well with him, just today I played a game where i was outlevelling my carries by at least 2 levels. Plenty of saves aswell.

I like him but he isn't usually a problem to lane against as long as the other players know when to ignore him.

Does anyone here play QuizUp?

There is a Dota 2 topic.

Has anyone here noticed that matchmaking is noticeably worse on Sunday? This could be just coincidence, but I notice that on Sunday specifically there is an exorbitantly large amount of fuckheads. Like my last two games in a row there was a captain who muted his team, picked random heroes, put them in bad lanes, and complained to the enemy team the whole time about how terrible his supports were. I am in a pretty low bracket (3k) but this shit only happens so often on Sunday.

Does anyone have experience running dota 2 from Windows 7 and then Windows 8.1 on the same build? I have been considering the idea of updating from all the good things I heard about 8.1

My brother plays on 8.1 and he hasn't had a single issue with this OS from what I've heard. He did start the rig fresh though, so I couldn't tell you about how the transition could affect anything.

What do you want to know? That's the exact route I went.

I run 8.1 and have no issues.

Works fine.

Since everyone else was asking, does anyone here run it on Ubuntu?

 

[Karakand]

It crashed a lot when I tried last year. Probably fixed now.

Well I just want to know if the performance improves and how the overall experience with steam is too . I only really play dota 2 with a random game occasionally so I mainly care for how dota 2 performs. Also does the lag at the start of the game when everyone loads their character get reduced?

 

[Booty Patrol]

what the fuck, I just got the Lina arcana as a drop at the end of the match

I didn't notice a difference in load times or performance. I'm running it from an SSD.

Lucky.

It's a top 3 arcana for sure.

I dunno, it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't.

What?

Its not because SingSing plays her that she's a good hero.

 

[dmshaposv]

I didnt even know arcanas would drop after a game. Always imagined people bought them or got it from that new bloom bounty.

I guess the probability would be 1 -5% for a drop?

 

[Booty Patrol]

Not when we're winning because of me

Back to work on Tinker? How many wins would it take to undo all the damage you've wrought?

 

[Satch]

....

Spoiler

my signature hero is tresdin ((((((((((

 

[Razzer]

Speaking of which, is she a good mid now? Seems as though OO would be good for teamfighting now. So leveling it up to control mid isn't a drawback anymore.
