Part of the reasoning of having hats in dota is for the personalities surrounding the game able to make money off it.
By the communities for the communities. I think it's fair.

It's not that I mind specifically it's just the wild inconsistency in Valve's content policies that confuses me.

This is quite a good deal for anyone interested. The Non-Exalted will be bettable on dota2lounge, while the exalted has a slightly higher steam community price potential.
dose are no good, too heavy - after like an hour too hot and your neck will get sore
4k party mmr dream lives on

Got sent to low priority because of this laggy new bloom event. That's what you get for being greedy about hats I guess.

It's everyone else's fault your being held back.
That's an idea. Queueing Year Beast should automatically set you to low priority

Low Prio games are worse than before. Everyone feeds intentionally so they can finish the 5 all random matches as fast as possible. Every game has players proposing someone feed so they can push mid and end.
My first 4 matches ended up being legit anyway but the last 1 was pure "kill me, then push mid".

I have been wearing them all day for like 9 hours no issues. Granted the model I have turned out to be a bit slightly different than the one in the picture (pic had "RAW prism" mine is just "RAW", no lights and no USB cable) and the ear cushioning seems smaller too.
Its weird that they don't have my model listed on the site :/

shira has weak neck confirmed
I cant comment on this but I know for a fact that if you use -enable_addons with certain mods Arcanas and new heroes do not show up on the minimap
Its a very stupid and annoying bug that I havent been able to fix
So I just suck it up and play without mods

My problem with them is that they don't display an emotion or seem useful in conversation. At least the horse one is smiling. The Merlini one maybe for Zeus ult, but these were like pro Polish artists that did them and I don't think the message was conveyed to them that they were supposed to be emoiticons or used as reaction phrases.
The Godz one is incredibly well done, but it means nothing.
Speakers, just like da pros
it was going to go there, but amc made a deal with them

Die often, lose lots of gold.
Supports push all the lanes, farm is harder to find (maybe not with Ember though).
With heroes other than Ember Spirit, I can have lots of trouble finding good early farm and farming patterns for the rest of the game. Heroes such as Riki and Undying for instance.

I didnt know Michael Cera played Dota
good cause I need one too //hugs
dota needs a shitty hug emoticon
He's still pretty popular on AUS servers, see him twice as much as rikki
I prefer a pudge to certain other mids in my games mainly cause anyone who plays SF at my level is either an asshole or not very good. Or both.
However pudges roam and gank and the really smart ones buy their own wards to set up kills! Also Pudge is just kinda a fun hero.

that attack speed slow. it's too good. But I think the issue is the meta more than the hero's changes.
He's hella strong against the current blink meta by design. He can hang waaaay the hell back out of sight, then take 3 steps forward and be in the fight. You can't really blink on sniper without blinking into or past the entire enemy front line. Rarely is that a viable option. And so you need heroes like Riki, Spirit Breaker, Clinkz, Storm, or a fed BH who can sneak back there or close quickly and do a lot of damage without having to stand there and autoattack (because Sniper will win a lot of those). Maybe a blink Huskar could work? IDK. But in reality, none of those heroes except SS are very popular at all right now so Sniper largely gets free reign to do what he wants. Until his natural counters come back into some measure of popularity, he'll continue to get away with murder.
I've won 11 straight with that hero. He's pretty good in this meta.
I think his win rate increased partially due to year beast mode.
Incoming hylian post about Pudge.
Skadi not even top 10 most built items on him, what are those sniper pickers doing?

Oh yeah, didn't think about Year Beast. Haven't played that and didn't know he was good.
It's entirely the new shrapnel. Sniper has always been a good laner and a great damage dealer; he could dominate mid cs but he never really got kills unless the enemy misplayed and over-committed. New shrapnel makes it so much easier to get a ton of early kills by his initiative, and in teamfights it is simply impossible to run from him now, and equally impossible for most heroes to chase him down without a BKB, but even then it's difficult when he has mom + yasha (there are of course, always exceptions--i.e. lycan, clockwerk).
The vision of true equality.
Can someone explain the horse thing? I feel like I missed something.

Horse masks are really big in the states
beats
no 100% wrong
idk, i just think it's funny
it might be a reference to dotacinema, and the fact that sunsfan calls things 'horse' a lot, idk
[edit] yeah it's a reference to sunsfan, since it was a dotacinema emoticon pack

Say what you will about Year Beast but I'm swimming in hats and some are pretty bloody good.
