I like this courier now.

No, this is bullshit. There's literally ZERO reason why the flying version doesn't just upgrade it into a hoverboard. Worst courier of all time.

 

[FACE]

Yeah, but you're a skywrath picker, so you weren't a human being to begin with.

So says the Death Prophet and pre-nerf Doom picker.

gentlemen pls. There is no more need for this carnage.

 

[Procarbine]

that's what gust and frost arrows are for. neither of those heroes have any sort of silence to stop you from using gust to push them way back. Your team needed early sentries for that comp, and you needed to not ignore skilling your W. Against that comp it should have been maxed second.

Riki might have a silence, man.

With the whole metamorphing courier and global items taxing the computer I'm just going with donkey. No sense in having a cool courier anymore.

x2.

Wait, the damn thing doesn't even utilize the skateboard after you upgrade it to flying?

How did they not make it to do a Marty McFly hoverboard-esque kind of thing?

This is sad time for Dota cosmetics.

SAD.

 

[shira]

I usually stay away from more swords for heros like Sven and Juggers but DAMN

Is that a recommended Jugg item? I know it has a high win rate, but you need other items to stay alive before you can get da deso.

Reddit better then gaf. On reddit I can downvote people who make dumb topics, on gaf I can't do shit.

But really, you really can't do anything about bad topics. You can't even allowed to call them out on how dumb their topic premise is because it is actually a bannabe offense if I know the rules right. Like for example, "Favorite sunrise or sunset in video games?" the thing has 192 posts, but its super low quality content of people just posting screen shots. There is no conversation happening in that topic, no one has more then 2 posts in it. But that shit keeps getting posted in.

Nice puck set bounch. It has 3 colors, right? Still not delving in with the custom icon craze?

I would buy that.

Deso Jugg has like 70% W/R

But 80% of games are 2.5k MMR +/- so i dont know if you can take dotabuff stats seriously

This is on the items workshop page↓↓↓

 

[bounchfx]

does anyone like puck? <3

this one was a long time comin, simple but fun, did some particles too, but nothing over the top.. something we had in mind from the very start of the set (aka not shoehorned in just for le votes)


edit: just saw your post kirby. Thanks dude! and yeah.. i'm not for adding shit to a set just for the sake of it. Icons require something special like a player set IMO.

Ooooh, fuzzy.

Might replace my current set with it although I'll have to buy a new set of particle gems u_u

Unfortunately, DotaFX is pushing the shit out of complex sparkles and bright lights. If you aren't into the fireworks light show you are going to be left behind. Not my opinion but that's what seems to be getting approved/upvoted

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET YOU OR ANUXI TO MAKE A TREANT SET

The sales would be Chen tier.

so make it $500 and then you'd make your money just selling it to me

 

[Drkirby]

No one has even submitted a Chen in 4 months. Poor guy.

 

[bounchfx]

I understand that Shira, but it kinda doesn't matter to me. All the flashy shit doesn't make the set itself better, which is what I care about. Also, none of it is guaranteed, and then you get situations like Vidotto's Lone Druid set and everyone whining how it's not good because all the special shit wasn't included. Not worth the risk imo.

not to mention it all adds up and I don't want the game looking like clown shit later, but I'm sure that will probably happen with or without me because it seems to be what a lot of users want (judging by how they vote on workshop :x)

It means they can dynamically remove them all from the drop list.

Huskar can be incredibly strong against some drafts in pubs.

I almost broke my hero and damage records... without even trying.

http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/2jvzyi/papadrayich_on_female_only_tournaments/

Interesting read. I honestly never had never personally seen sexism in dota and the only reaction I had ever seen to female players was "k" (except that one time with satch where there was a player who had an "omg a gurl?" reaction).

Reading some of the experiences is pretty saddening. Any similar stories from fellow gaffers?

Also, the top comment is pretty spot on I'd say:

As a girl, I am so, so torn on this issue, and have been for a long time.

On the one hand, "girl" tournaments insult me because it sounds like it's saying, "You're not good enough to be in the boys' tournament. Go play here", when I know I play as well as any guy, and better than a large percentage (not at Dota, dear god still learning this one, Smite is my bread and butter currently). And I always have, and it's not weird to me, it's just who I am. I've been good at various games since Crash Bandicoot Team Racing, to James Bond, to Star Wars: Battlefront, to the CoD/Halo days, and now MOBAs.

On the other hand, I can see that it might create a sense of community for them, a safe place to play, and that is great. Because playing ranked in Smite has been an absolute nightmare for me with voice chat (which normally I avoid at all costs). If we lose, I get sexist assholes telling me to get back to the kitchen. If we win and I carried that shit, I STILL get sexist assholes telling me to make them a sandwich. You can't win.

However, the girl tournaments I've seen so far, have had disgusting conduct from the players. Girls are given a chance to prove they're good, and they get disqualified because they have their boyfriends play for them? Are you fucking kidding me? It's fucking repulsive honestly. What are they proving with that?

I'll keep my anonymity for now, honestly. I feel a lot more comfortable behind the assumption of everyone thinking I'm a dude. Thanks for reading, normally I wouldn't have the courage to post on something like this but it just... meh. Been weighing on me a bit lately.

 

[Smithy C]

With the whole metamorphing courier and global items taxing the computer I'm just going with donkey. No sense in having a cool courier anymore.

Does the courier lock button stop it from changing for everyone, or just only on your screen? I'm getting tired of sending my Tinkbot out to help people get their shit, only to glance over to mid and see a donkey delivering my TA her 12 minute brown boots.

Metamorphing courier nerfed supports.

 

[Wok]

Do you go armlet into early satanic?

I am totally noob with Huskar (I played him for the all-hero challenge), but I can give you my build in this game (I was mid against Tinker).

I did as you said guys, I bought wards for my supports once I got rich.

Every one. If I random a courier I like I lock it down.

unfortunately I feel little to no desire to get another courier ever again. I think I may just keep my gama bros and two more. The rest are going to be used for betting.

navi rekt alliance, they are both so shit, it's kind of sad.

I watched the whole fucking Waga game

What is wrong with me?

Is this actually the WIP Oracle model?

Nope. It is a mod made by someone on reddit.

 

[Drkirby]

Nah, thats a really old ranged Creep Model, from the early days of the Alpha.

That reminds me, did Valve ever give a reason for changing Radiant Siege Engine so much? The old one was great:

I need some hats. The Summit is going to reach the Luna stretch goal right? Is that you bounch?

 

[Shorty11857]

Secret being beaten pretty convincingly by Finstack again. Be shocking if they don't qualify for Dreamleague

 

[shira]

navi rekt alliance, they are both so shit, it's kind of sad.

I wonder if the past TI success guarantees an invite. Dendi will be there no matter what to sign autographs but he's not even Tier 2 mid anymore.

TI5 Invites:
Past Winners
1. Navi
2. iG
3. Alliance
4. Newbee

Top Tier
5. EG
6. VG
7. Team Malaysia
8. Cloud9
9. Secret
10. Tinker

Best in Area
11. LGD
12. MVP.Phoenix

Qualifiers
13. Europe
14. America
15. China/SEA
16. Wildcard

Making iG, Alliance and Navi qualify would really ramp up competition and we could have some pretty fucking good games if there was 2 qualifier slots and a wildcard winner from each region.

Top Tier
1. EG
2. VG
3. Team Malaysia
4. Cloud9
5. Secret
6. Tinker
7. Newbee

Best in Area
8. LGD

Qualifiers
10-11. Europe
12-13. America
14-15. China/SEA
16. Wildcard

 

[Shorty11857]

15. China/SEA

You really think they'd combine China/SEA into one qualifier for the next TI? Although considering everything that's happened recently over there wouldn't surprise me

 

[Monochromaticx]

Top Tier
5. EG
6. VG
7. Team Malaysia
8. Cloud9
9. Secret
10. Tinker

Why is Team Malaysia top tier? I haven't seen them prove themselves vs big china teams or west teams and they only won 1 SEA tourny?

 

[Shorty11857]

Why is Team Malaysia top tier? I haven't seen them prove themselves vs big china teams or west teams and they only won 1 SEA tourny?

They'll have to invite at least one SEA team to TI, Malaysia or MVP are the only two I could see them giving it to (as of now)

Plus they're the old Orange roster from TI3 which finished 3rd

 

[Drkirby]

I think it far to soon to call TI5 Invites, but I think Valve may reduce the number of direct invites even more for TI5. Something like 7 direct invites, and having the rest of the spots won though qualifiers.

No I just put one of the alpha creeps as a placeholder.

Yay! I hadn't heard much from her recently and she's always great.

At some point I think past winners have to stop getting auto invites. Especially with roster turnover being what it is.
