Why play dota when you can play pillars of eternity

One reason could be because in my playthrough Eder has become untouchable due to a bug.

And for a patch we wait.

These teams sure are rubberbanding a lot. I wonder who can rubberband the hardest.

 

[Monochromaticx]

This match is insane.

When did EG rubberband last?

Hail VG!

Why play Pillars when Bloodborne is out.

 

[SteveWinwood]

i genuinely do believe the game is won when we get both bounty runes though

 

[Shuggananas]

Well if you manage to get both bounties it's either that your lineup is much stronger, at least in lane, or that the other team are complete morons, so yeah if your team gets both you probably have a good 60% to win imo, if not 65-70.

 

[KingKong]

Thank God for bounty runes so that now no one can see me fail the creep block

 

[Monochromaticx]

It is also statistically true. I remember a stats man typing it on the popup box thingy in a pro game.

thats a horrible question

wow tobi is really bad. go back to csgo

 

[Shuggananas]

tobi is in the top5 of casters

 

[Monochromaticx]

tobi is in the top5 of casters

of bad casters. yes.

 

[Shuggananas]

You probably shill for BTS anyway

 

[Dreams-Visions]

tobi is in the top5 of casters

implying the Dota scene has more than 5 casters

 

[Madn]

What is even going on

 

[M.D]

LD is the best mixture of hype and knowing what you're talking about

Plus who can top legendary quotes such as

SYLAR TO FALL
LIQUID ARE DOING IT
THEY'RE ALL DEAD
WOW

[Anbokr]

best caster is odpixel now

 

[Anbokr]

Wait, aprils tickets have seemingly arrived. So no ticket for IHL?

Dunno, submitted everything a couple weeks back and haven't gotten an acceptance or rejection email. Technically we do have one week of preseason, so it's not the end of the world if they add it after april 15, although I did submit before their march 30th cutoff (they won't be adding any tickets between march 30th and april 15th I believe)...

The only thing that I could see tripping up the league submission is that I listed our neogaf ihl thread as the official website (because it is). I made sure to get permission from evilore first, so hopefully that isn't an issue.

 

[rakkadakka]

I never get the caster hate one way or another.. they're all kind of bad.

Each in their own unique way.

Although syn/sunsfan is my favorite.. just because they can bullshit with each other and it doesn't feel forced.

Yeh, there hasn't been an "Artosis" equivalent in Dota 2 for me yet. I mean I don't know how Artosis is doing nowadays, but for the first couple years in Sc2 he had genuine passion, knowledge about the scene as well as the game, put in a lot of effort and had good humor to boot. It's unfortunate that he was often paired with Tasteless who had none of that attributes apart from the humor perhaps.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

WAOW

They have been adding tickets for the last past 6 patches in this month alone.
At this rate there will be maybe 2 patches before April 15th.

tasteless used to be good

he had all those qualities as well

he just got burnt out or bored i dunno

i blame sc2 sucking

 

[Pratfall]

sometimes i try to watch sc2 and I see a bunch of colossi and stalkers and zealots fighting a big ball of marines marauders, medvacs and vikings and I fall asleep.

 

[M.D]

I don't really hate any caster but zyori is getting on my nerves lately with his fake hype casting.. never get hyped when I listen to him

Tobi is fine but after hearing him say Teamarino Tinkerino every single time when casting them I wanted to punch him in the throat

 

[Acinixys]

Why play Pillars when Bloodborne is out.

Why care when Witcher 3 is here in 50 days

implying the Dota scene has more than 5 casters

Ayesee is dead though

So its basically BTS, the 4 guys at JoinDota, and Sheever

 

[eznark]

navi is so bad

 

[shira]

You probably shill for BTS anyway

I'm a proponent of good dota. He's been fucking up his cast with flat out incorrect statements. Honestly surprised blitz wasn't loling on cast.

He even tweeted as such.

ODPixel is as bad as OD jungle

sunsfan is absolutely awful. his fucking grunts whenever something happens, he can only do that
synderen is good, should talk a bit less sometimes though and get to the point

best caster is odpixel now

His accent gets annoying very quickly, cast is ok

 

[Acinixys]

lol Navi are so fucking trash now

Only kill Wisp for 4 of their heroes off of a wrap around smoke

 

[FACE]

Why play Pillars when Bloodborne is out.

Because Pillars is the better game and it doesn't run like a three-legged dog?

Spoiler

The correct answer is why not both?

 

[Chris R]

Bristle+CK too manly

 

[52club]

Played back to back matches as a solo q, one was a 53-7 and the next one was 33-9. Neither was even that close, it seems something strange with match making to combat smurfing accounts where new players are being elevated way too fast.

Even though I was on the winning side of both these games neither was very fun. I'm hoping the ihl will provide more equal competition.

 

[LiQuid!]

Holy shit, it's like that Dotabuff personality test is in my regular stack...

 

[Night_Hand]

Nobody is talking about my guy Xyclops

 

[NormalFish]

Best casters are:

2GD crew
Godz/LD/Merlini
Pro players

in that order. Everyone else is varying levels of "eh".

 

[Monochromaticx]

Glad they are playing music from OCRemix instead of that trash on monster cat.

 

[Shuggananas]

2GD are alright minus one or two guys
Godz and LD are absolutely awful
Depends a lot for pro players.

Synderen is the best caster. Knowledgeable and impartial, always looking on the bright side of things even when people do something questionable..."well that item will work if....", "well that would have worked if...."

2GD crew play favorites hard. You can tell who they want to win

actually yes, I knew I was forgetting someone. Synderen is #2 above BTS for me.

And I don't mind a caster playing favourites. I just care about insight and the enjoyable-ness of the casting. They do that better than anyone.

Agree about SynderyN. Easily the best caster of the bunch. He could cast every game and I'd be a happy man. He works well with anyone, it seems.

 

[Artanisix]

Zyori has improved dramatically from when he first started. While I don't prefer him, I don't mind him either.

...unlike Blaze, who is complete shit at casting since forever.

well, you gotta learn how to look at the bright side of things when your invoker gets 13 cs in 10 mins mid
