black is kill

Ice3 also said in his AMA that he hasn't seen or heard from him since Black went back to his hotel room. Someone save him BibleThump.


This year's Year Beast event seems totally different? Unless I'm not remembering correctly. I remember you had to stack up on items and kite the beast and his attacks and focus his tail and horn?? And Necro and Troll were particularly good picks. And you could buy the now-implemented Crimson Guard and fireworks and stuff to stun it.

I'm reading it over and it sounds like regular Dota but with a strong ass monster on each team's side.

All Random huh? That is certainly an odd choice. I'm rarely ever in LPQ, but the last time I was in it I just played Ability Draft, guess that isn't an option anymore. However it does funnel all the LPQ into the same game mode, so that's a good thing.

All random was chosen so that people cant just afk nature.

I'm not really understanding how they can't just AFK farm anything really....And they still could get NP...

While you may still get Nature, it won't be every game where someone tps to a cliff and just auto attacks the creeps till the game ends with fairly little input from the player.

in 24 hours, WW, get's 2 different hero icons because Reddit made a post that didn't even get voted and Gyrocopter is still using his pre-model update icon that looks nothing like him...

Well the first WW icon looked dumb, while gyro's still looks cool.

I seriously doubt that is the entire reason, as you could find a way to do something like that with any hero.

But why find those way when that's the first thing to come to mind, and also among the easiest. AR's going to make people think about the way they idle, and maybe some of those people will actually play the game.

This comment reads like parody. It's almost too perfect to be real, and yet if you look at this guy's profile, he's either really dedicated or the real deal.

That only covers really a fraction of LPQers though. I mean, some LPQers take the mindset of "Well, it's LPQ, it doesn't matter. I'm awful at Meepo, time to play Meepo."

Eh, that attitude extends outside of LPQ. Take, for example, my own Shadow Fiend game from recently, where I thought that exact thing. First time SF, time to play SF!

(In case anyone didn't see the new icon)

Yea, the new icon is an improvement. It fits with the old icons much better.

Those three are all better than the puke green radial gradient Pugna has as a sorry excuse for a skill icon

I wish the modding community cared more about custom ability icons

I think one of these days Valve is just going to show up with a full remodel for him. Maybe we will get a bunch of remodels with Void's.

WW in ability draft. Take Aim plus Arctic Burn plus Lina = MLGPRO420NOSCOPE

Thank god for those LPQ changes. Computer started crashing for the first time a few months ago, got it fixed, and it stopped until yesterday. Got 8 LPQ games as punishment and had worked my way down to 2, and then my PC crashed again and it was up to 11.

Thank you Valuve ;'(

- Reduced the rate that reports become available by 50%


Worst change ever.

 

[Quesa]

I just checked the PA arcana page and it still does the thing when you highlight the ult icon.

Still magical

 

[manfestival]

i just had one of my best drafts in ability draft and i made the stupid mistake of playing before my boss was gone for the day and had to quit... sigh

You don't understand how unplayable things are going to be. They basically let all the inmates out knowing that there is a % chance said inmates will buy the Arcana or buy points.

What is preventing some asshole from feeding 20 couriers and then abandoning? 25 minutes in ARDM?

Shit will be literally unplayable all weekend.

You can't play ARDM, you can only play All Random in LPQ now.

dota_disable_range_finder 0

I use it too, basically for many targeted skills, it shows a green line from your hero to the cursor, if it's bright green you are in range, dims if not, and the red line shows how much closer you need to be to be in range. Really useful for stuff like Pudge hook if you ever have that moment of "Can I make that from here? I'm not entirely sure."

Some skills like Mirana arrow just show the arrow in the direction it will fly and don't indicate the range at all.

rofl fucking easy mode

go play league noobz

tbh i could probably play as well as arteezy too if i turned that on

 

[W1SSY]

I added that to my autoexec and then remembered I use quickcast so it is probably useless.

 

[Hylian7]

I'm still surprised that thing isn't one of the checkboxes in the options yet. It's been there ever since early beta back in 2011.
