@kard8p3: play with friends or do what I'm doing right now, learn Chen and lose every single one of your games.

 

[sixghost]

GAF how do I love DOTA again?

Why force it? Just take a month break and do something else with your free time and come back when there's some opportune inhouse or an opportunity to play with some friends, or something.

 

[Satch]

ive been feeling that way about dota lately too

 

[SteveWinwood]

The weather is finally nice outside you shouldn't want to play dota. Go ride a bike.

 

[Satch]

but steven my fucking allergies

 

[SteveWinwood]

I have allergies

I had shots and they helped some, took cocktails of allergy meds and they didn't really.

The only thing that consistently works, no joke, is alcohol. But as much as I wish I could, I can't just stumble around all day.

 

[Quesa]

Or you could do what I'm doing and job hunt with the dismal prospects of an English major who's just finished college. About the same ROI in the fun department as dota's giving me!

True, I might have to do that.

Was that the tecs match with the blink viper?

Clowny ass game.

Yeah they're playing merlini now.

 

[The_Player]

Volvo add google translate to doto pls.

http://sletmo.com/

It won't help understand russians better, though. Slang.

 

[Tobe]

jokes aside, teaching high level english in peru may get you a really decent life.

Cyborgmatt can you make an asia_amore prizepool tracker. Only $1100 more for her qop cosplay at TI4.

Downscaled Dota looks bloody great.

I tried to downsample with Durantes new tool, but that didn't work too well for me. Hopefully AMD drivers will get support for it or the tool ends up working better for me with DOTA.

 

[Chris R]

MFW I land a 4 man hole but the team has NO FUCKING DAMAGE to do shit with it

I had to hack some things to get it working properly with the Source engine.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Last I heard dota 2 was kind of crap with 3d vision. Is that still the case?

Yeah pretty much what I've been doing, still need to work on execution mainly. I'm at the point where my impact isn't enough at my level but it's showing good progress.

[Rokam]

So I haven't played Dota since around August. Have there been any significant changes, or a place I can go to see a list of major changes without having to skim through patch notes?

Chen is one of, if not the most fun heroes to play IMO.

I've been on a bit of an Infinite Crisis kick lately, but games this dumb mean I will never forget my first love.

It's really fun but I'm out of my depth with him. I panic whenever I'm in a teamfight with 3 jungle creeps, so I just mash buttons until I do something right. That double heal is really powerful early on though, easy win every teamfight.

Edit: This is some classic Chinese doto right now, 2-12 33 minutes in.

[Bad7667]

IG gets 5 kills in a 48 min game.

DK to good.

Anyone has problem with the stream from BTS? It always hang for a couple of seconds for every 20 sec or so.

I dedicated this game to Khorne.

2.2 kills per minute is enough blood for the blood god I think.

Been playing Dota 2 from the start at 1920x1080@2560x1440, it looks great with in-game AA enabled. Giving out that cinematic feel, while maintaining high FPS (around 50+ on my 6950).

But I am still on 13.12 drivers, haven't been successful with the new 14.xx.

Note: Not using Durantes tool, but rather the regedit workaround.

 

[IceMarker]

LD looks exactly like Thom Yorke in that pic.

 

[Madouu]

yeah there's a resemblance, but exactly? come on now haha.
