Without luck and minimal participation(one offering every week) you can only get 1800 points
If you can predict things thats an extra 15,000 points.

Ok, so basically time to give Valve some more money.
Only GG if you've stayed in the jungle all game and are level 25.
As much as an idea of a Pudge arcana bores me (different animations, different rot color, icons, basically everything covered by that legendary set) the idea of an invoker arcana is actually somewhat exciting.
It would be very cool if Valve actually makes each of his 14 spells look different than vanilla invoker. Also, Depending on the invoker build you are going (QE or QW), your appearance changes and so do the color of your spells?
There is potential of something really cool with invoker at least. I hope the community votes for him, and he is a popular enough hero.

also that guy basically spent 458 bucks
of which only 115 dollars was added to the prize pool
Its only a difference of $20 worth of Points

Just wanted to say that this is never ever a good idea. Solo pubbers already spend the entire game trying shit on someone else so they don't get targeted, and this is basically asking for it.
If they did that, they ll reach 6 mill ez in the next 2 days guaranteed
Not as legit as shadow blade/crit for max enchant totem fun.
Really though dagon seems like it would put you very thin on mana. until you can get a shivas or something on top of it.

why would another thread be needed? that is (or rather, it should be) the point of this thread
Take it a step further, Top 3 Contributor's get front row seats to The International 4.
It won't be today, in a week or two and it would be focused at learners only, this thread is not that thread.

Can somebody get me a compendium.
I have 7 dota2 keys.

This is weird. I'm thinking of starting to play more solo queue games. I just can't take the constant whining from the people I usually play with. Every damn small thing gets whined about. AA missing an ult? OMG this AA, what a shitty ult. Zeus using his global? OMG fucking zeus kill stealer. Dying under the enemy tower? Where was everyone?! When we went back like a minute ago and I even said so on teamspeak. No understanding of objectives whatsoever. We move to push another lane because we obviously can't break base yet -> Where is everyone going? Why do you go back?
At least in solo queue I can just mute them. Or I don't even understand them. Whatever.

Uh no offense but your teammates sound like the same assholes you find in solo queue and I don't know why you're playing with them.

Really though, probably the Dota pixel emoticons they use for the minimap but that would be too easy. I'm hoping for just some new basic smileys.

Was simultaneously trying to grind through my 7 remaining calibration matches and the 10 compendium heroes, because why the hell not. Saw a good opportunity to offlane BH, ended up against a sandking/crystal maiden dual lane. They bought sentries but kept spamming CM ice blast and sandstorm and I was basically last-hitting under the tower til level 6, only killed me once by diving the T1 and placing a sentry right underneath the tower (lol). Then once I started roaming and my team got tons of track gold we just stomped them.
After the game, CM types in all chat "noob gondar I owned you", when she killed me once in lane and never managed to land a single spell on me for the rest of the game. Solo Ranked is a hilarious place.
EDIT: 4-stacks shouldn't be allowed in this game. You either have to carry them to victory by playing way better than all of them, or they'll whine and complain about everything you do for the entire game, when mathematically you're probably a higher MMR than half their stack. Either get a 5th friend or just stop subjecting a series of strangers to your bullshit. /rant

None taken. I don't know either. They're great guys apart from that and it hasn't always been that bad. I don't even know what changed, it's just that I get really annoyed when they call out people for stuff they probably couldn't have pulled of themselves or whine about mistakes they themselves make and ignore their own mistakes.

Sounds like they might take the game too seriously. Maybe you could try and get them to settle down and have more fun with the game rather than thinking only the win matters. If you're not having fun there really is no point in playing.
I have razor and Shadow Fiend in my list of 10 heroes to play.
Im pretty shit at razor. Get blown up really fast. I do mostly ok in early/mid game then sort of drop off. What items should I get for this guy?
Shadow friend. I should probably mass build low armor items. Presence of the dark lord + Deso + AC + shadow blade = ez kills, amirite? See all the pub kids stomp this way.

That's probably a part of it. Another thing is that our individual skill levels are all over the place and some of them may be overestimating themselves. The one guy we usually play with is notorious for overstaying his welcome during pushes, often forgets TPs, loves to suicide defend towers but whines about other players mistakes. I know I'm not great at the game and when someone misses the ulti on a hero I played maybe once, I don't cry bitter tears because he misses it. I don't get it why they do this to themselves, the constant bitching and moaning isn't helping anyway and just drags everything down.
Enough venting though, can't wait for ingame emoticons

I would really enjoy some Twitch emoticons and it's not that unlikeable considering you can link your Steamaccount to Twitch. Valve pls

There's almost no point in getting AC for SF. The attack speed and armor you can get more efficiently with agi items(also his own late game base armor is decent by itself so it doesn't need even more), so the only extra it gives you is an aura for your teammates and minus armor for enemies. You can spend a comparable amount of gold and get a Daedalus or a Butterfly, which would both have much more of an effect.
AC is mostly for carry strength heroes that profit a lot from the armor and AS.

I think it will slow down considerably after 3.2mill. Once people cross the bench mark where they can get immortal hats, traders are much less interested in other stuff like base customization e.t.c.
The later goals aren't especially enticing.

Wanted to do some comparison data. Lol.
The whale economy in visuals:
- allow each player to buy one compendium, you get a low slope because few players spend money in the game
- allow each player to buy a compendium and upgrade it with no roof, you get an impressive amount of money in no time because a small percentage of the few players mentioned above spend an incredible amount of money, which allows to sustain the game development and to make the game free to play for everyone else
It looks like it. The slope is low now. One thing Valve could have done differently is distribute a higher percentage to the prize pool after level 100.

If the number of players had doubled, well, the slope has far more than doubled. What is going on there is pretty obvious.
I have not tried it personally but it does say it needs to be done in matchmaking.
