that they needed to win that match.

Honestly it's a tough situation. They could've handled it better, obviously, but they kind of had their backs against the wall on game 3 of a deciding match having to play 4v5. Not excusing them, but I understand.

 

[Madouu]

yeah I'm not surprised at all.

 

[NormalFish]

Honestly, i feel like this sort of thing probably happens super often.

 

[Artanisix]

i never thought i'd say i'd be cheering for DC to win this tournament

rofl trying to cheat your way into ti6

I can't believe someone like G agreed to this, they must've been desperate

Probably lay off the AA. Hero is great, but also not able to completely take control of the game (unless fed an early Aghs or something)

Like I already said: of course they were desperate, and the punishment (afaik) isn't really one. I imagine they saw it as either they cheat like this and maybe get away with it, or they dont get to go anyway.

That quest is starting to annoy me especially since it's so easy to hit the hero damage numbers but my teams haven't been able to finish the game.

My AA game was easy, except that they kept murding me:

 

[SecretMoblin]

king, of course you could do it


but slAAy does need buffs. bigger aoe on vortex at least.

I think better scaling on cold feet would be more useful: make it so they have to move further (or have less time to move) before it procs.

Dota has become literally unplayable for me in the last month or so.

I'm no great shakes, somewhere around 2700 MMR. However, I do my best to be a team player, follow the minimap, etc.

The last month or so it seems like every single match my team is filled with people who have never played the game in their life. It's unreal how bad it's been. I've lost the last 8 or so games with horrendous scores. It starts out bad and quickly snowballs downhill into toxic bullshit and name-calling.

The game has become zero fun and in fact it's a chore to finish the matches.

Is it just me? Has something changed? I don't understand. In the past I would have some bad patches, maybe a 4 game streak of clueless dudes but then I'd have an equal length good patch. It feels like I'm stuck in some sort of bad matchmaking loop.

I just checked and in my last 20 games I won 6, with at least two of those being "someone abandoned so we won by default" aka no skill luck wins.

This feel much different that past bad streaks, it's far deeper and the players have been far more toxic.

Compendium quest thirst

 

[Risible]

Compendium quest thirst

Don't even get me started on Valve's 2500 levels Compendium. I made the mistake of buying the compendium at the 50 level, because I had a lot of fun with the last one with the quests and stuff.

Once I realized what it was like I immediately regretted my purchase. I'm currently at level 56 or so. My next immortal treasure comes in 20 something levels, and the next one after that is another 30 levels past that. WTF. It makes the quests feel meaningless as the points they award are a drop in the bucket compared to all of the levels.

I mean come the fuck on, 2,500 levels?! The greed levels are off the fucking charts on that one.

13 AA games lost back-to-back, and then he expired as my daily.

Next daily: Luna, won at the first attempt.

Christ, what a terrible weekend of Dota.

Jungle Riki has the highest winrate

It is not necessarily support Riki. It can be more of a Riki stealing last hits from a poor LC jungle. It is hard to do, but it is pretty infuriating for the opponent when done right.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Trying to watch overwatch is completely awful.

It really is. If they go the way of Hearthstone in terms of in-game viewing options (i.e. effectively none) it's going to be an uphill climb for Overwatch to become a big spectator esport.

yep the game itself is not conducive to good spectating.

- too busy
- no rest periods
- casters and camera control can't keep up
- it's high noon

fun to watch seagull run a train on people though. good for personal stream services like twitch, bad for competitive spectator sport

For those who have watched Halo or Team Fortress competitive matches, what makes them any better at it than Overwatch? Or are they all bad for spectating?

None of them are particularly good for spectating to be honest. CSGO works because the pace is much slower in comparison and there's a lot less shit going on on screen as well.

AA is not a bad hero at all, especially when alch and slark are so popular, but I feel you are too dependent on your team to succeed.

I had a super sad game and was typing up a long ragey post, but I think this sufficiently encapsulates all I want to say:

Imagine Street Fighter being played with a team of 5. You get to control the stick and 2 buttons of your choice. The rest are randomly pressed by your teammates. When your team messes up a combo sometimes your teammates react by spamming the turbo button on themselves so you're open for combos. Really mean teammates spew all kinds of vitriol while hitting the button so hard you have to buy a new joystick after the game.

That's what playing Dota in solo queue is like.

I dont know why , but playing international ranked have improve the qol of playing for me.
People are communicating, people are picking correct lane heroes which does not triggering . People are not raging.
This is sea server solo btw

Its the opposite for me, international ranked has been awful, my team picks 4 cores and hopes the last person (me) supports their shit vs 4 cores on the enemy team.

Also im just gonna play ability draft to finish my quests
