The thing is though at least YouTube still continuously improves and actually deserves to be on top of the marketshare. Twitch still uses a crappy flash player, mutes entire VODs, and more.

YouTube has an HTML5 option (more prominent now and quite nice actually), doesn't mute videos, etc. There are problems with it of course, such as ContentID, but this hasn't been nearly as rampant as Twitch's muting.

If Hitbox got as big as Twitch, it would be forced to do the same kind of thing

 

[Schweinehund]

Those games where enemy sniper has 0 deaths and a mkb at 17 mins, daedalus at 22 mins, and 28 min bfly.

Sometimes I think MMR doesn't exist or is being gamed.

Sad and probably true. I really wish we would get some kind of copyright reform, companies suing over a song playing in the background of some guy's stream of him playing Dota sounds super ridiculous when you think about it.

Got a Dotabuff on this? I'm curious and might be able to give you some insight.

17m: mkb 5400 = ~317gpm

5m: dad 5500 = 1100gpm

6m: bfly 6000 = 1000gpm

There's not much really to analyze, it's just a normal throwaway match and the sniper is on a smurf account. My MMR has probably deteriorated from not playing in so long.

Well, it looks like nobody on your team farmed well, 3 people feed pretty hard, and Dotabuff Truesight is analyzing it since somebody in that game has Dotabuff+, so more information soon!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Hehe. Seems like a lot of people are waking up to Phase Boots Sniper.

 

[rezuth]

Bane gets easy kill early on and smacktalks "You guys have a Lina?"

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1258258128

Yes... Yes we did Bane

 

[Hylian7]

Phase Snipper is legit, but in that case I don't think the Snipper was a smurf. Better than the rest? Probably.

So many times people forget FARM WINS GAMES.

Look at Dire's farm, the highest last hits is NP, who is barely above the other team's CLOCKWERK.

If you are getting behind, FARM YOUR WAY BACK INTO THE GAME. Don't start chasing crazy kills just because you're falling behind. Farm efficiently, and don't lose any further, and you can get your way back into it.

Nah, just commenting since I die a little when people go treads and maelstorm without movement speed on Sniper.

My last two games with sniper have been phase boots>aquila>yasha>mask of madness>sange&yasha/manta/skadi>butterfly/daedalus/mjolnirr

It might not be the best item build, but fuck if I don't like it!

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1244911816
Manta cuz I picked Sniper and enemy team went Storm Spirit, Tinker, Mirana, Drow

http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1248555117
I randomed Sniper and enemy team went Clockwerk, Puck with Dagon so I went s&y for the HP/Movement Speed. I should had gone for butterfly instead of Mjolnirr but the game was like over so whatever!

 

[Acinixys]

So......why are people still dedicated to Twitch over superior stuff like Hitbox?

Even though Twitch is sometimes unwatchable for me it is physically impossible for me to watch Hitbox streams

Ive tried to watch your streams a few times Hylian, but all I get is weird artifacts and lag because every stream streams at 720p and up.

Hitbox as it stands is a EU/USA only service, until they start allowing users to switch the quality of the streams to lower resolutions they probably wont be getting any African/South American etc customers moving over

 

[FACE]

Hehe. Seems like a lot of people are waking up to Phase Boots Sniper.

Phase boots + MoM is the best.

even with a fast internet Hitbox still manages to stutter. It sucks.

Easily.

he has 53 games and a 76% win rate on sniper. There's no way he's not a smurf.

Not for Yearbeast

 

[Hylian7]

Sure, but a totally beatable smurf, as after that many games he's probably closer to his correct MMR.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

who cares about that p2w mode

Spoiler

Pfft. We won a match against a team that had warlock with refresher, lvl 3 yb with refresh chance due to GOOD OLD ratting from nature's prophet.

 

[KingKong]

another year beast update

so this is what it's like when Valve tries to balance things without Icefrog

 

[Sianos]

i guess it really was true that the tf2 team is working on dota now

wat?

wat?

I assume he's not spending time on the year beast mode

Did the drops just become super shit? Everyone in my team got common bundles.

Sniper was a smurf 100%.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Matt some of the images in your emoticon extension are missing.

Plz fix.

(After Qop/Techies and before Drunkka)

Fixed those broken emoticons and pushed the update to the Google App Store, just waiting on their publish thing to go through.

 

[Cellbomber]

Played a game earlier with someone named Michael Cera. He sounded just like him over the Mic. When I mentioned it he said that's why his name is Michael Cera. Really weird how similar it was.

I could picture him playing DOTA though.

Did he feed?

 

[Cellbomber]

Bad match overall. Wouldn't really say he fed though. He kept sighing alot. Legion was consistently late or dueling the wrong hero's.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Do you think we will see any Mask of Madness nerfs anytime soon? IMO I think it is a really good cost efficient item, that gives sustain, movement speed, and massive attack speed for its cost (1800g). It is pretty damn efficient in the current top picked carries in pubs (Sniper/Juggernaut) due their great attack animations/BAT.

What I see that icefrog could do without destroying the item completely, reduced AS/MS/Lifesteal, increased taken damage or up the recipe again.

Does IceFrog even give a shit about Pub balance?

Spirit Breaker is proof he does!

Besides, Juggernaut and Sniper are getting picked in the competitive scene.

 

[bbd23]

rofl NA dota scene provides some of the best games honestly.

that Thundercats Vs Wheel game 1 was awesome

SF backdoor

 

[TUSR]

trolls pickers are the worst

 

[Kard8p3]

troll's the best

I agree

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Most balance made in the recent patches were for Pub Balance, so yes.

 

[shira]

Lol new team fire: Demon, 7cking, Brax, RTZ, 1437

 

[LiQuid!]

I really need to try solo ranked matchmaking spamming Necro. I can't lose with him in unranked and I'm so terrible actually.

 

[bbd23]

PUPPEY PAUSE

 

[Hylian7]

Why is this allowed.

 

[Indignate]

I hear that Witch Doctor is a good hero.

 

[Drkirby]

I hear that Witch Doctor is a good hero.

Pretty good pick in Year Beast too. Not Tier 1 in the mode, but all of the Tier 1 heroes get picked almost instantly, while people normally ignore WD. One of the best moves you can do is start your heal before global silence, thing does work. Also his stun being refreshed is super annoying for the other team. Look at it go-go-go.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Zeus is fantastic in Year Beast. Global ulti and deals decent damage to the Year Beast with his Bolt.

 

[Pureauthor]

Zeus is already OP in pubs and he's even more OP in Year Beast.

Also Undying really isn't that good in Year Beast anymore.

Also, I am obligated to mention this everytime I talk about Year Beast: IT IS A SHITTY ASS P2W PIECE OF FILTH

 

[Conceptor]

Zeus will have done like 25k+ hero damage by 30 mins in Year Beast. It's kind of disgusting...

 

[geetec]

wow, ded game?
