I wonder if there is any chance the PA Arcana could be one of the things they want to release by the end of August? I know Arcanas take quite a bit longer to make than a normal item, but by the end of August they'll have had well over a month to have one or two guys working on it full time.

I'm going to guess those scrub Tinkers that rush Dagon feed him.

I can't stand the scrub Tinkers that rush Dagon, cutting of their usefulness by buying that Dagon first. Hex is better. You can manage it by around 25 minutes, and it makes things easier for your team.

u need to blaze before tinkerino to reduce panic misclicks

pls respond hylian

My client is real messed up. Getting double the ping I usually have and it doesn't render projectiles and particle effects sometimes. I was playing as Drow and every other attack would be missing an arrow. The worst as that it wasn't rendering Mirana's Sacred Arrow so I'd randomly get stunned without seeing anything. It also didn't show to ping icon on the mini map. The bottom of the HUD also has these weird orange lines.

Doom counters every single hero...

No he doesn't. Why do you think people started picking razor amongst other things? Razor doesn't give a shit if hes doomed as long as he popped his ult. A bunch of heroes were seen recently because they're really good against doom. Lycan pops his ult? no point in dooming him.

Stay away from him or get the jump on him first, like dealing with any other BKB hero.

So apparently there's a way to make spells cost gold in the custom game tools

With a special HUD icon and everything

I wonder if we'll ever see that used by Valve for a new hero. The triumphant return of the Gambler? Or will it exist merely as a tool for new custom maps?

I like how no one says how you do it.

LOL, okay, sure, nobody in the Dota thread knows anything about Dota. Gotta live that absolutism at work.

You say that, and you complained about wards when playing Tinker a few days ago. Even after people gave you valid reasons for why you could pick them up, you were basically ignoring everyone and saying "I'm right and you're wrong."

You'd fit the example of not knowing stuff about Dota.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Too much knowledge burdening me in this game.

Gonna switch to Leeg.

And I eventually changed my mind on that.

Also one thing != everything

That would be like saying if you can't play Meepo you know nothing about Dota.

I think I like Viper over Drow. He usually has a better time in lane, and especially going mid in a pub you can really have a huge impact by not losing lane and getting an early mek - I love that build.

I'm sure he was exaggerating with the 99%, but there's some truth to what he says. I'd wager that majority of the people who post in this thread started off with Dota 2, or made the conversion from LoL.

If you go back to see the posts made throughout the week of the international, you'd see it's true.

Why does that make a difference what game they started with? Dota 2 has been in Beta since 2011...

If you are in a 5 stack, one of my go-to strats is 5 ranged heroes with Drow. It's extremely strong for deathballing 10-15 minutes in. Just make sure your mid ranged hero is a mek carrier and you're good to go.

Not everyone has been playing since Beta though. Plus 3 years is nothing when it comes to Dota 2. There's still a lot of things you can learn. Like you just learned a few days ago that Tinker can in fact buy wards.

There will always be more things you can learn. That doesn't mean what you know is "nothing".

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've probably been playing longer than some pro players. Obviously they are better than me, but by your rules, do they also know nothing since they haven't been playing as long as me?

You're so concerned with if you could that you never stopped to think if you should

Not sure how you've missed the "he's probably exaggerating" part. There are things you don't know, and there's obviously things you do know. Just cause you don't know some things doesn't mean you know absolutely nothing.

I'm saying you can always learn something, and that shouldn't be taken negatively. If there's more stuff to learn, there will be more things to improve on.

And the pros you've managed to name who have less time than you, probably spent a considerable amount of time on another moba.

Who are those pros that started later than 2011? Cause i'm pretty sure no one did. Mb excalibur, but even one as young as RTZ has been playing since early dota1, and Zai was a renowned HoN player before he played dota2.

its the same build he uses in pubs, he may have 6.5k mmr, but if he disagrees with hylians build, guess he is a scrub tinker.
He is also where the MMRs start getting more wide spread, I highly doubt it was purely the build that got him there. If he started going hex, probably nothing would change. Hell he would probably even win more games.

Got absolutely addicted to this game over the summer, playing it non-stop after work. However between yesterday and today I've lost 7 out of my 8 games played and now I don't want to play this game ever again.

Yet I also can't stop playing.

What's wrong with me?!

You are addicted and addiction leads to abuse. Please seek help from one of the qualified professionals in this thread.

if you keep losing the only thing to do is keep playing
 
Playing this game and liking it be like doing meth because you think its good for you.

Nobody likes dota 2 that plays it. They just do it because they are hopelessly addicted.

Speak for yourself, I play it because (80percent of the time) it's fun, and 30 percent of the time it's as fun or more fun than any other game I've played

I quit for weeks at a time though to play other stuff
