Dota 2 Thread: REBORN SOURCE 2 HYPETRAIN NOBRAKES

[kanyeknowsbest]

I have no idea how to add or anything why everything so shitty.

Also it didn't even let me select a username? wtf?

This platform is stupid.
Anyways
Add ShatteredDreams

steam owns so much because you can change youre name whenever u want to whatever stupid bullshit u want.....

also ill b happy 2 play dota w. ne of yall chat me up : ] http://steamcommunity.com/id/happychan/

[kanyeknowsbest]

I thought you had to add the ID, not the username. Everytime I tell people to add my name, they always say it doesn't work.

yeah steams finicky, you got to add people by their login name as opposed to display name. the easiest way to do it is just link to your community page and clicka dd friend..

[kanyeknowsbest]

I think there's some guy named 90's orgy boy that doesn't exactly belong in there

yah thats me. i really like the cover they did of that new order song.

steam owns so much because you can change youre name whenever u want to whatever stupid bullshit u want.....

This is truth. For example, I'm currently working on learning Nuclear Dawn, and since it's a small enough scene I wouldn't want everyone to think "man that Hito is such a scrub ugh" while I was learning the game I changed my display name to THE BABY for a couple of days. Best feature ever.

heck yeah. one of my old dota standby names is "dotababy ^3^" although i think i used it for a different reason than your example,,,

[kanyeknowsbest]

since the change to a static dmg bonus, lunar blessing is a godsend for last hitting mid at lv 1. the sight is just an ancillary bonus.

[kanyeknowsbest]

battle hunger rubick is the way to go.

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah in game voice chat for dota is real shit. i have a mumble server i use 2 chat at my friends when im playin and its def the way 2 go if u care about voice chatting~

[kanyeknowsbest]

I just cannot get into Dota. Hon will always have more responsive/tight controls, better game-aesthetics (e.g ghost marchers vs phaseboots, devo ult vs pudge ult, things like that), and feel more fluid and visceral. It feels like I'm playing CoD after playing years of Unreal Tournament. =(

dotas controls are just as responsive and tight, its just that in hon they decided to get rid of front end animations. its a balancing feature between heroes in dota and takes some getting used to. i have several friends that took awhile to getting used to dota again after hon but havent looked back since they adjusted.

[kanyeknowsbest]

also dota aesthetics are like objectively a thousand times better than hon. again i think its simply that youre used to hon and not dota here.nbd.

[kanyeknowsbest]

are there enough of us for an inhouse? im always hella down for that. theres no fun like cm with the 2 newest players as captains and giving them no advice on picking~

[kanyeknowsbest]

please dont dota hack, thanks.

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah im down. should be around most of the night

[kanyeknowsbest]

i imagine they probably want to address making sure they perfectly sculpt his hulking physique, from his gorgeous biceps to his perfect abs.

[kanyeknowsbest]

how many heroes can pudge bench? not as many as bradwarden. get to the gym fuckhead.

[kanyeknowsbest]

you do realise that your talking about a situation where centaur has 20k+ in farm right? either the game is long over or something retarded is goin on. nevermind what a poor use of that 20k 3 hearts is.

[kanyeknowsbest]

centaur pros: strong, benches so fuckin much
centaur cons: is a less good slardar, is half horse

[kanyeknowsbest]

hes downright poison to your team if he doesnt know how to play and goes hand of quota/aghs, but hes still annoying as fuck to play against when in capable hands

[kanyeknowsbest]

most of the time he gets picked in captains mode at decent mmr it will be the latter~

[kanyeknowsbest]

otoh hats.

[kanyeknowsbest]

pick hard support for katsuki.

[kanyeknowsbest]

id be down to give it a try. im most comfortable as 1 and can 2/5 if thats the way it lands. but im super hit and miss with 3/4.

[kanyeknowsbest]

thanx for the bump.

[kanyeknowsbest]

for shame katsuki.

[kanyeknowsbest]

My main accy MMR is too high... Need smurf to play with newer players. :P

"I'm just too good!"

no, ive played with katsuki......

[kanyeknowsbest]

eight hundred thousand dollar dreamcoil

[kanyeknowsbest]

the 1 that cost them 2 sets of racks. thats the 1 that realy mattered.

[kanyeknowsbest]

boots tp wand bottle, you only really want one null talisman early if you need it, 2 if youre absolutely getting crushed and need that little edge badly. storm is a hero that really pays dividends by playing as greedy as you can get away with and getting your big items up fast. also more than 1 point in q is really great for flash farming later

orchid rush is absolutely legit 90% of the time tho

[kanyeknowsbest]

6.79 owns

[kanyeknowsbest]

ap owns

[kanyeknowsbest]

blieve the xp it provides is also a Large Factor

[kanyeknowsbest]

its nice 2 not have your supports drop off in levels

[kanyeknowsbest]

dota is a hard and frustrating game to learn.

[kanyeknowsbest]

bloodstone is very situational on dp, you are almost always better off building mid intelligence hero support items. timber is the only hero in the game that the item is a no brainer for (honorable mention 4 techies, pls put techies in valve.) even for storm, for whom it is pretty godly its a situational thing

basically if you have the money to buy bloodstone on most heroes you would have been better off with something else instead

[kanyeknowsbest]

also aa you shouldnt be building a perse "just because you already have a void stone." perseverance is a very bad item by itself and youd usually be better off making a euls instead with the void stone

[kanyeknowsbest]

i have different theories...i hate some heroes...
Riki is my most hated hero...i feel irritated when someone plays riki.. i feel it wont require lot of skill to get kills with riki.. not sure if i am wrong but i feel unfair to fight with a hero who can't be seen..

stick with your team if you cant 1v1 him and dont know where he is, carry dust if youre not trying to accomplish any specific goal and want to gank/countergank him, but most importantly drop sentry wards when you are trying to push something. i guarantee that at your level the number of rikis who will happily wander into the middle of your team while youre near their t2 despite you clearly showing sentries in your inventory will surprise the shrek out of you!

[kanyeknowsbest]

His core item is bloodstone for mainly mana reasons... Checkout his item build choices...

http://dotabuff.com/heroes/disruptor/items

pls do not use these winrates as a decision factor in what items you buy, its a very good way to get the wrong impression. the important thing to realize is that a disruptor who has the money to buy a bloodstone most likely has the money to do that because his team is already winning and it doesnt matter what he buys at that point.

[kanyeknowsbest]

I've heard Bloodstone Techies is sick as well.

so incredibly sick....

[kanyeknowsbest]

before. aghs is a really late game goal on techies. the casting range boost is convenient but not game changing and the damage difference can be solved by More Bombs.

[kanyeknowsbest]

i personally hope valve keeps their motuh shut 2 spite the community and also cancels christmas.

[kanyeknowsbest]

valve would have my ubndying respect if they made a news post that simply read "8=======D"

[kanyeknowsbest]

tbqh i think that everyon1 involved w. dota in the first place are idiots actually ?valve us the complainers the complaint complainers everyone. you got 2 be dumb as hell to play dota or have nething at all 2 do w. it.

[kanyeknowsbest]

lets reminisce to the days when bloodstone charges gave hp regen and it actually was The Best Item.

unkillable death pulse spewing bloodstone/hood/heart necrolyte is still my favorite broken dota build of all time.

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeah it was really dope. necro was stronger once it was running but dp was easier to get rolling

[kanyeknowsbest]

i agree being a nice cool guy in dota is great : ]

[kanyeknowsbest]

not being a petulant child: studies suggest it may actually be super dope?

[kanyeknowsbest]

don carleone

[kanyeknowsbest]

same

[kanyeknowsbest]

a big skill disparity makes crushing w. meepo so easy. i cant imagine giving meepo away in the kind of reverse captain draft we would have

[kanyeknowsbest]

same

[kanyeknowsbest]

ye thjat could be fun.

[kanyeknowsbest]

sick

[kanyeknowsbest]

diretide is the worst but otoh hats

[kanyeknowsbest]

correction: greeviling is the worst but diretide is the 2nd worst

[kanyeknowsbest]

yah ill do that

[kanyeknowsbest]

uve reached dota nirvana . . .

[kanyeknowsbest]

transcend this wretched cycle molla, embrace blissful enlightenment

[kanyeknowsbest]

how do you lose 100 games in a row

[kanyeknowsbest]

yeowch

[kanyeknowsbest]

thats messed up

[kanyeknowsbest]

when youre making your bloodstone, disassemble your arcanes so you dont need to buy a second energy booster. you can then pick better boots to use after that (like travs) or just leave em brown. after that its all w.e. you feel like for your game. pretty much any utility/defensive item is useful (though to varying degrees dependent on ur gamestate)

[kanyeknowsbest]

dear TIMber, please dont right lcick

[kanyeknowsbest]

bloodstone euls sheep 3xrapier, leave chakram at fountain and play evasive pinata

[kanyeknowsbest]

JUst say No To Grevviling.

[kanyeknowsbest]

sometimes u just have to look at your team comp and realize that games gonna be a fucker p much no matter what you do. bad players be in every bracket man. alternately play on ixdl or something,a t least then you only have bad players instead of bad players + bad team comps

[kanyeknowsbest]

JUst say No To Grevviling.

[kanyeknowsbest]

Hi Rothwell. I would suggest Micro games as they have fun setups that can really spice up mafia. Regular games with no cool roles and hardly any power roles aren't my favourite either.

Frostivus Yes, Grevilling No.

Oh gosh, what tier am I in... Have noobs feeding nonstop, have no clue what they are doing. (I am talking about my party MMR btw, I always stack with my friend.) Why is it when you get noobs who just suck the other team never has anyone of their same skill? Thanks balancing. :(

On a brighter note, I finished some concepts for a Beastmaster set! I got a modelling software and I'm gonna try to shape it out soon. :D

statistics have shown that usually the strongest player on the team has more impact on the game than the weakest player. so a large mmr disparity in your party will likely match you against a team of players who are closer to your mmr than your low mmr friends.

[kanyeknowsbest]

dont believe thats high mmr.

[kanyeknowsbest]

youre awfully gullible

[kanyeknowsbest]

thank god it wasn tgreveling

[kanyeknowsbest]

hjow the heck?

[kanyeknowsbest]

yah but like.. how did four people manage to all end up dead? its literally the easiest part of wraithnight

[kanyeknowsbest]

congaline into a stormbolt?

[kanyeknowsbest]

not getting rightclicked by her is a pretty good counter i think.

[kanyeknowsbest]

all the usual ways u dont get right clicked by a right clicker whos only gimmick is to right click... probably.

[kanyeknowsbest]

i lioke to try really hard to win.

[kanyeknowsbest]

imo in your position id worry more about just playing better rather than composition.

[kanyeknowsbest]

The Secret that Dota Pros dont want you to klnow is that playing better wins games !

[kanyeknowsbest]

http://blog.dota2.com/2013/12/matchmaking/

"better" than 75% of ppl.

i was under the assumption that that chart was for unranked.

I think it is still roughly the same for ranked. Gives you an estimate either way.

unranked includes every person who played exactly 1 game of dota and then never again

[kanyeknowsbest]

if you are the high mmr in a party at 4500 you will not be running into pros unless theyre stacking w. really low mmr players

[kanyeknowsbest]

it really just depends on playstyle. if youre going to sit in the safelane for half an hour cranking a 900+ gpm then a lothars is going to be a waste, but if youre trying to be more involved and do some initiation for your team then that fast lothars is gonna be p clutch. basically the same circumstances youd want a lothars on dk.

[kanyeknowsbest]

p sure that pressing r and walking away is also a nice escape.

[kanyeknowsbest]

it does when youre farming right

[kanyeknowsbest]

Sorry abt your rating

[kanyeknowsbest]

u get daddy if u want to hit heroes instead of buildings

[kanyeknowsbest]

building a dagon will in just about any situation on any hero will likely get you yelled @ btw, even when its not a bad choice.

[kanyeknowsbest]

the things you build on qop past treads is pretty much entirely situational though and she has a lot of flexibility in that regard. ~generally~ though: orchid first is usually a safe bet, linkens can be useful, aghs can be very useful as a second item, and sheep is almost always a good pickup when you can afford the buildup.

[kanyeknowsbest]

She became vegetable maiden, sadly.

She's good for learning positioning though, a friend of mine played a ton of CM when he first started, which helped a lot.

i dont think the int nerf is that big a deal for players who dont know how to make the most out of cm, imo

[kanyeknowsbest]

[kanyeknowsbest]

how come youre not playing the 5

[kanyeknowsbest]

if you have blink yiou probably shouldnt be channeling your ult in range/sight of an x . . .

[kanyeknowsbest]

then thats a matter of poor positioning or a lack of sentries/sense of where thier heroes are, not some intrinsic counter. any hero w. a stun or even a right click to disable the blink can stuff the blink epi in that scenario

[kanyeknowsbest]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBZcbNbJRYQ#t=16

[kanyeknowsbest]

that might sound like a fine idea to you atm but as you improve you will find that camera control and positioning are Extremely important.

[kanyeknowsbest]

do what buttons said and just double tap (by default its f1) to center around your hero when you need the camera there

[kanyeknowsbest]

f1

[kanyeknowsbest]

f1 for hero, f2 for courier select, f3 for autocourier, 1 for all units, 2-6 for illusions/summons, ` for everything but hero, z-b and space for items. Welcome to my dota Life

[kanyeknowsbest]

2 seems like a really awful spot for cour, to me.

[kanyeknowsbest]

i put my wand on space : ]

[kanyeknowsbest]

space bar is still giood 4 typing in all chat then

DP Bloodstone Builders

[kanyeknowsbest]

im sick 2 my stomach right now

[kanyeknowsbest]

its very situational. hotd rush is very powerful IF your team has a strong early position and you can secure some early jungle or ancient stacks. katsukis jsut mad that i play carries greedy as fuck.

however, if you are not stacking with the hotd youve wasted 2000 gold until you drop another 4k to make it a satanic, and then its a 6k waste unless thats your 3rd or 4th item.

[kanyeknowsbest]

tb is the best hero. hes the only hero i play anymore

[kanyeknowsbest]

why would you pick any other hero in the game when you could pick terrorbalade the soul keeper?????

[kanyeknowsbest]

it means your the best player in the world

[kanyeknowsbest]

i used that french guys program i forget the name of. shaodwfrench or something??

the days b4 bnet dota bots.................

[kanyeknowsbest]

how shameful
