They have a point system attached to it for the players involved but it just sounds like a clusterfuck waiting to happen.

How are they even going to pay this out with sponsors, managers, and teams taking their cuts?
This is going to be cute.
ok, just didn't want to get cheated out of the rares I actually want to use in game carefully earned by my betting prowess.

Out of curiosity, what is the strangest hero you've all ever used in ranked? Specifically, strangest that you've used that others have pointed out is strange.
I main Techies so the reactions I get are typically anywhere from "you're going to lose the match for us" to my team just quitting while picking...

is tp during storm zip too strong
dunno if it should be nerfed
typically the more difficult to play a hero is the more i wanna die when i see it picked
sometimes my team question me when I say I want mid with something like antimage

People hate techies cause the hero is incredibly one-dimensional (place mine, hope) and is easily countered by a high range hero and a gem. People who just pick techies without having a super farm-reliant carry tend to elicit negative reactions.

he took 8/9 minute roshan with SB tanking as juggernaut with troll ulti.
Troll wasnt even there to take rosh.
Could be strat.

They're incredibly fun and useful if you don't just plant mines and wait. Be proactive and always moving between lanes. Trap the runes, trap the jungles, trap rosh, trap the shops. You can use Remote Mines as projectiles is you detonate them fast enough. Never let the enemy kill you, just suicide every time youre about to die. Oh, and mana regen is your best friend,

also, when placing mines: Think of the places that would piss you off the most if an enemy techies put mines there. That's the best spot.
LOL I watched this. This SF was in very high bracket? Dumbass could have just bought tangos and ate his way out of there.
I was laughing so hard though, you guys kept him on that ledge for 10 mins LOL.

You just use it as a deny. No one can accuse you of feeding if you kill yourself
never surrender, never deny, never die.

Learn to use the stun ward with the cooldowns and spacings and can have AOE permastun
- easy, early rosh with a medallion and a tank/lifesteal/heal
- totally op if you can set a fight location on your own terms
new patch made qop's butt bigger

I think for (my mmr) pubbing, dagon is still the best, though. I like arcanes -> dagon 1 -> blink -> dagon5/eblade/support items (force staff, hex, etc.)

May contain jokes =>
I'm trying to learn qop and it's really annoying to have some one run into fog and cancel the dagger strike. Doesnt help that the past three matches with her I've had the supports feed like crazy. Lately, dazzle was 3-18, Terrorblade was 1-11 with 30 mins treads PMS and Yasha, and Windrunner was also 1-11. I gank all the lanes and make so much space and team doesnt do shit with it.
Then they yell in all chat "report qop for jungling" when we cant see anyone on the map and I'm 1k away from sheep.

How often do you get a team that fills every position except a farming core in the safelane?
I'd love that over a core+core+core+core+me on support ;_;
Position 5 support sucks hard. If I have to do it I make sure I pick disruptor, hero is a beast with just brown boots and a wand.
But it is kind of satisfying to know at the end of the game that the team won on your back, buying all the wards and dust and shit. Even if it's usually thankless.

I just had a kotl game where I was able to keep two lanes of super creeps off the T4s for ~15 minutes until their team came to us and we team wiped them over and over. kotl's force bomb or whatever it's called is nice to use on Earthshaker and the like that depend on multiple skills after they blink in

I've found playing a support has way more to do with understanding the skill level and general tendencies of the cores you are supporting than actually knowing what the "ideal" support should do, in contrast to cores whose jobs are usually fairly straightforward. I think the suggestion of buying the first two set of wards and seeing if your team can actually use vision intelligently before deciding to buy them for the rest of the game is a good idea, plus I can probably roam more and help out people even if they aren't losing their lanes, even if I'm getting completely uncontested pulls and jungle farm while my carry isn't being pressured.

be sure to thank your supports if they do a good job
we really do appreciate it
even just a "hey thanks for that ward there" would suffice

FFS I can't buy any more, we are out of stock, stop fucking feeding their carry, the lack of vision on our safe lane didn't cause you to die
Then I get reported for playing a support while the carry sucks ass

At the same time if he got ganked in the safelane it means that the enemy got all the way to your jungle and lane without getting spotted. But if there was a ward which saw them coming you should ping your carry and tell him to "BAAAAAAAAACK" . If he still didnt back and died and flamed you just ping your wards and mute him.

Jakiro son.
I love Disruptor (he's probably my most played hero) but Jakiro can help destroy towers, has a low cd stun, and slow.
Probably the best support in Dota 2.
Your jungle + ancients + rosh are warded
YouR carry dies in THEIR jungle to a 5 man gank
gg noob support no wards report pls

Yeah, he's quite good lately. Been pretty good for two patches actually. His late game and base siege is really fucking good. Since 6.82 games tend to last 40 mins more often than not which benefits him a lot.
Heh last night I played an hour and 30 minute match that went like this, we had a tiny, I was necro, my friend was KOTL, they couldn't break our base. We held them off from breaking high ground for 35 minutes. Aghs refresher was doing some work but our damn wraith king decided to go solo rosh when they had it warded, my kotl friend followed and got rekt, and then they pushed for the win.
It's definitely much harder. A buddy I que with says supporting is more relaxing to him, but it's much more stressful for me. You have to try to keep all your idiots alive and have a much greater awareness of the potential for fights to break out so you can always be there to help.
I know we're in for a fun game when nobody on my team wants to contest the 0:00 runes.
I haven't played much Jakiro but I might start. From what I've seen he can even transition into a semi-carry if he gets big enough and ALL his spells have such a ridiculously low cool down.
That could have been a smart move with a smoke
The shit publords think they can get away with
