Dota 2 Discussion (~Boston Majors & Road to TI7~)

Also you can cancel spell animations in dota baiting people, items actually change gameplay instead of being +x dmg.

so i had some extra time lately and reinstalled this nightmare of a game and found out that my account's in low prio
OK, just need to win 2 games right?

i'm fucking 1-8 right now and it's just insane, last game teammates PA and PL went offlane and treant went solo safelane.. mid SF didn't buy any items (I mean absolutely no items, totally empty inventory) for the first 10 mins of the game and just fed
this kind of shit's happening every match i'm fucking losing my mind

 

[Dr1f7]

play that finally got me out of LP:

Yeah but who cares, are they actually solving how easy it is to def highground or is this another patch where nothing changes.

 

[Saark]

I'm happy as long as they nerf Windwaker.

I doubt they think it needs "solving"

 

[luj1]

Dota 4 just came out

 

[Nathir]

Gj Valve, adding even more bloat to all heroes is exactly what this game needed.

i was hoping they'd modify the abilities so the game was playable on controller/Steam Deck, not add more passives. point and click in a game where you control one unit is retarded

 

[luj1]

Yeah. They are going to change abilities of 115 heroes that stayed the same for 15 years, because of 0.5% of retards who play Dota with a controller

 

[ind33d]

actually i'm 100% sure that there is some way you could play DOTA on a PS5 controller using gyro, the bindings would just be a pain in the ass

^^ what I've been doing is just letting t1-t2 fall while farming and just wait for enemy team to wipe trying for t3, then run down mid and end
works pretty much every game and is kinda funny

 

[luj1]

And you can always pick heroes that are good for taking HG. Ranged pos 4 and 5 supps with long cast range and low cooldowns (Apparition, Skywrath, Warlock, Venomancer, etc.)

 

[luj1]

Calling the next meta, Clinkz, Lich, Apparation, Wraith King, Weaver, Riki, Bounty, Timber, even Shadow Demon

I'd add Lycan to that mix. He's definitely the strongest he's been in awhile.
I haven't ran into a lot of Underlord players but he also seems to be a good hero for this patch too.

On a side note Brood spiders and WK skeletons hit really hard. Makes me think summons in general are very strong now.

whats really strong now are supports right clickers, loads of them got right click debuffs of some kind

yeah beastmaster is crazy too, got buffed

 

[Dr1f7]

they buff'd invoker's innate to give 25% xp when you deny a creep
it's really good been invoker spamming and always like 2 levels ahead of the other mid now

bonus refresher orb double agh's sunstrike:

 

[Dr1f7]

been having so much fun spamming invoker, rushing scepter refresher, being 5 levels ahead of everyone and then just casting a billion spells in teamfights is great

 

[The_Mask]

Meatballs everywhere! Mamma mia~!

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Fucking OG getting eliminated.

And I was thinking about going to TI this year.
