The Tide.. MOVES
BLOOOODLUUUST
HUUUURGH
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!
But what if its homemade ketchup.
Man I love Dirge. Huge AoE low cooldown strength steal is hilarious.
Used to love this meme, still do. I miss old /d2g/ sometimes.
For me it's centaur
Like match, already dim and damp... your mind snuffs out.
dota died with reborn
I'VE SUNDERED THIS CABAL
There is no axe in team.
You HAVE completed your all heroes challenge right Yea Forums?
no shit, you have to die to be reborn
by my shaggy balls
the [Dirge] goes on
Carl? That you?
I'm the Juggarnaut, Lich
>BACK WITH YOU, NIGGERS!
how did valve get away with this
Played a few years ago, is it worth picking up if I suck and want to play by myself
I hope Shota-voker has really good lines and voice.
YO INVOKER
FFFUCK MAGIC
I haven't played Dota in like 3 years, but God, I loved those games with Undying where he goes from hard support to hard raid boss, 1v5 diving the other team 15 minutes in.
Then he finally dies at like 25 minutes, handing over a massive gold bounty that his team never quite recovers from, because he was the only thing going for them.
favorite characters were Dazzle, Witch Doctor, and Ogre magi
It's a party game. I can't enjoy it solo. I wouldn't recommend unless you have friends to play with.
t. Been playing since 2011
From tip to tip my wings COVER THE SKY!
Turbo is a good time and is zero/low stress.
Hey what's up guys Chi Long Qua here once again best dota 2 player this world's ever fucking seen
Remember when this fella was an unstoppable fuck machine? I do.
I hate his current play style but I love his voice acting.. I am cornflicted.
His astral imprisonment range is so fucking bad. I hate playing mid with him now.
Is barbecue sauce on steak okay?
>tfw CLQ tried being "reformed" and ruined everything great about his channel, even got rid of the voice changer
im still mad
OD is one of the heroes who deserved to get thrown into the permanent trash hole, fuck him and everything about him.
>tfw naga has managed to claw her way out of the trash hole and is poised to begin her reign of terror once more
the seal is broken, and the ancient evil has awoken
Literally the only hero I use those fucking things on.
I would take 3 years of TI2 OD over a month of bullshit Naga any day. Fuck Naga that dumbass sexy fish skank.
Why is Nyx so shit? I feel like everyone is another power level above him.
Reminder to quit playing DOTA. It's genuinely unhealthy for you and will just make you feel like shit years down the road if you keep at it.
t. 8000 hours, immortal
he still is he just plays like an actual ranged INT hero with weaknesses now instead of an insufferable lane bully that puts you in gay baby jail halfway across the map.
CARL? IS THAT YOU?
Without the griefing he's just a bog standard 5k player. Nothing special.
He`s useful because his ult can disable passives
I miss when he was based lads
the other late night dota 2 thread was comfy
why can't I have games with people like you guys? why do I always have third worlders?
>tfw no one I know plays it and I've been playing solo since 2012(4?)
>Jumps out of a random dood
>attacks you for a little bit
>Gets nuked when rage goes on cooldown
Why does he have the worst talents in the game?
how do you know we're not a bunch of BRS too?
I NEED... GUMMY VITAMINS. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM IS THEY'RE CHEWY AND... THEY HAVE A BERRY TASTE. GUMMY WHICH ARE A LOT LIKE THE GUMMY WORMS YOU GET ON HALLOWEEN; THIS IS DIFFERENT THOUGH, IT'S HEALTHY
In your opinon, who's the next hero on the list for the Buffs?
TA pls
Is dota still alive?
Imagine being white and from a first world country and actually playing Dota.
Techies needs and deserves a well-earned buff.
You know, I would like Dota more, but I am a sucker For gimmicks and Gimmick playstyles and sure all Dota heroes have their 'gimmick' but its basically the Difference between Fox and Wolf in Smash Bros, very few heroes actually have a viable Strategy to actually build around their gimmick and 90 percent of them feel like different Flavors of the exact same shit.
Its why I loved Heroes of the Storm before Blizzard Murdered it, in that the characters gimmicks were actual a central part of them and you could individually had much more unique characters than any other Moba
>Last buff he got was a straight +1 damage buff to his talent
How do you even buff techies?
What, do you think people here are white?
TIMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR
who's excited for the hot mess that will be midas mode 2 youtu.be
Give back his old skills, the new ones are inferior.
patrician choice desu
They killed his winrate
They killed his tiers
But worst of all
They fucked up his face
Who is worse off, Undying or Clinkz?
Is it worse to be chained to the will of a death god and rot away eternally, or to be perpetually on fire?
Both seem happy with it desu
Undying isn't aware of it so he's fine. Clinkz on the other hand has to feel every moment of his death.
They can't keep getting away with this.
Haven't played in a while (like a 6 months - a year)
How's my 3 mains doing currently?
>Rubick
>Crystal Maiden
>Pugna
>Undying isn't aware of it so he's fine
I wouldn't be so sure. He has a rare line that he sometimes says upon meeting Death Prophet, asking her "Does it end, Death Prophet?", which would indicate that he yearns for the release of true death.
>Rubick/Chaos Knight's VA is dead
>We'll never get dialogue updates to either of them
CK's Sean Connery-like voice is so lacking in content. ;_;
>everyone has tragic backstories like this
>meanwhile BIGGUY4U is literally just an evil dick that's enjoying every moment, moreso of their sufferings and inflicting similar sufferings
Make way for the daddy
>Undying isn't aware of it so he's fine
>One of his death lines is "Finally..."
I'm pretty sure he's aware.
I love the voice line effort Valve put in
cm continues to get absurd buffs (she gets 20 armor when ulting now). I don't think puggles has been touched much in a while, and rubick is now a disable machine because null field got replaced with a passive that increases his spell amp and makes his disables last WAY longer. also now that every hero has an aghs, you can say his aghs has been buffed a lot since you're more likely to be able to get something good
my currrrrrrent flowssss
>had the OD demihero figure
>knocked it off my shelf and the stand broke off
still pissed
Clinkz seems to have accepted his fate. Undying has several lines like "no heaven, no hell, only this"
With Rubick, his voice had quite a lot of filtering on it so as long as they get someone who could approximate the original then we could get more voice lines out of him.
But CK and PL are probably a lost cause since it seems like the filtering wasn't so heavy there.
Yonder I wander
Nah, only a few heroes have tragic backstories like undying, clinkz, anti mage, timber(if you don't believe he's just insane and made up the attack),clockwerk, elder titan and phantom lancer
male heroes w/ the best voice acting
>Razor
>Timber
>Invoker

All heroes have great voice acting except all the ones voiced by sam mowry(except clockwerk)
tusk is best acting :-DDD and best hero :DDDD
user no the advertisers
>>sounds the same
I remember the era when Slardar and NecroLYTE didn't have as much filtering on and they all sounded even more similar.
Why did Sam Mowry only put effort into the Clockwerk voice?
Clockwerk only gets a pass because they filtered Sam's voice so hard it actually becomes unique.
Winter Wyvern best waifu.
She's a qt bookwyrm.
NEIA TEIA AN DA KA
I fucking loved CKs voice but he's so shitty to play unless you snowball, old as shit roaming CK was fun to play though.

I think so, it was just after or just before the Skeleton King change.

Not surprised, we all used to play back in the day and the only guy I still know who does is a whale that spends $2000 yearly on the game, or more. On an unrelated note, I also miss the days of Tastosis streams in SC2. God, simpler times... Almost everything has changed.
It's actually back to 7.86 numbers for a few months now
Pugna will always be situational sadly or if you're doubling down on push start.
you know they're still casting sc2 AND they're back to casting brood war right?
only reason it started to have more players was because of Auto chess. You can see how they are losing those players again.
There were times when a third of the players that was in Dota 2 were playing Dota auto chess.
>*game X with millions of players still* died when *date when poster himself got bored of game*
Why do people do this for every game? Fortnite, League, Dota, CS, CoD, you name it. They're all dead apparently
>yfw you'll never fuck 5 of her at once
Probably true, regular match waiting times are over one and a half minutes sometimes at EU west and east
High ranked players can wait up to hours to find games at times.....

Undying has been one of my favorites for years. I remember when Soul Rip was only 25 mana - I would max that and Tombstone before Decay and just CLAP fuckers one after another.
I laned against a particularly cocky undying last night. Unfortunately for him, I was a shadow demon and know damn well when strength stacks run out. Shadow poison is a bitch.

Just because you like the fact that she's climaxing every other line, doesn't mean that she has one of the best VA's.
Brood's probably one of those girls who was always looking forward to having children.
That's probably why Monkey King dumped her, he wouldn't be able to handle that commitment.
It’s the same game it’s always been. I don’t get how people are so shocked when shit drifts from patch to patch, it’s literally always happened

have you improved as an artist user? That's a pretty good doodle they posted.
no. i came to understanding that i do not enjoy drawing whatsoever and only care about the result. so i gave 3d a try and have a way better time with it. still, sometimes i get sad because i wanted to be that cool concept artist or some shit, but i guess i'm just not that talented as i thought. it's okay though because i haven't invested that much time in 2d to be super salty about having a shit career because i'm a hack.
They removed pounce damage. His only damaging skills anymore are dark pact and autoattack.

Don't worry, doing it as a career sucks anyway. Probably should just keep it as a hobby because as a commercial artist you get stepped all over and have to compete with people who don't care about that and overwork themselves.

I don't even like lolis, but the idea of Pugna being a little brat running around pushing towers and solo-killing carries is too fucking good.

plus Pugna Nails the "im better than you" schtick better than invoker, and i can almost imagine Loli pugna throwing a tantrum as soon as something goes wrong
Definitely! The combination of simple mechanics having to be executed in very specific ways to achieve great results make for a great Asuka-type character, second best girl of NGE only to Misato
>no girl to wear such clothes for you
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
new dota plays more like a typical moba rather than an action rts
It puts way for emphasis on teamfights rather than general strategy
If I have to simplify old allowed more strategy and was more fun to play
Nu Dota doesn't but in turn is less annoying to watch in torunaments mostly since Chinese dota players don't just team all day anymore
so it's not. it's way more hero brawler now and i don't like it.
>YWN have a sexy voice wyvern mommy GF
I haven’t really played the game in a couple years. If I were to hop back on, should I be concerned with how much the game mutated since then?

Talents and 7.00 were a mistake
I want to kidnap dark Willow and use her as a cocksleeve until she's broken and loves me
he can't provide anything besides lots of magic damage and a meh slow. doesn't really matter how many times he gets buffed, he's still a shitty support due to his lack of utility and kind of a shitty core because of how hard he needs to commit to fights and how easily he is countered by bkb. he's basically a poor man's zeus
Does anyone have that one video where Invoker talks about building concentration camps and gasses Ezalor?
God I've looked everywhere but I can't find it
If I had to answer the question "who is the worst hero?" My answer would be venomancer. Completely worthless
That’s because you’re playing him wrong. If you’re a core, you get ahead and stay ahead through constant pressure. Either rotate for kills or set up a nest and never leave.
If you’re a support, you need a partner. Yeah, lategame you’re not popping nova and expecting kills. You pop nova/gale when bkbs get low or to force early ones. Wards to cancel blinks and get vision. Setting up a good gale with the talent gives you a shitload of wards that can trap people. He’s not a kill hero, he’s an annoyance hero. Hide in trees, do not walk up to a group and nova them like a dumbass
PURE SKILL is the best hero.
I remember a few years ago when undying was OP. He had been shit for so long everyone ignored him and I decided to randomly git gud with him for shits and giggles. Carried my shitter ass through many games before everyone else caught on.
Comfy times bros.
>should I email gabe and ask him to make her real
yes please
tell you what, make her an arcana and we will have double last years TI prize in no time
You're playing him wrong, late game pretty much eeveyrone but invoker evolves into right click.
K&Y is very strong on him. And Pike, since it gives you escape, stats, and easier to get sting on someone. Don’t buy into the Spirit Vessel meme. I know it seems good on paper, but god does it feel bad.
user, that wasnt what the post was about at all
>dusg
:D fugging walrus kig
>If you’re a core, you get ahead and stay ahead through constant pressure. Either rotate for kills or set up a nest and never leave.
it isn't 2013 anymore when you could guarantee an early win by just smashing your opponent hard enough. even with comeback mechanics largely neutered, there's still a very high chance of your lead evaporating into nothingness, and now you have this shitty paper weight of a hero while you're heading into lategame. why bother picking this hero as a core when you could pick something like zeus (that can cope better with bkbs) or just pick something that doesn't give a fuck about BKBs in general.
>If you’re a support, you need a partner
you're talking about this like winning your lane translates to winning the game somehow. even then, there are plenty of supports you can pick that can do something meaningful without any magical christmasland ifs and buts. the fuck is the point of picking venomancer and running headfirst into the enemy team to "pop their bkbs early" and dying when you can just pick lion and instantly disable the enemy carry for like 7 seconds while also doing like 1k damage to him before he can even turn on his bkb.
being an "annoyance hero" isn't that useful when there are plenty of supports that straight up kill people or have actual utility beyond cancelling people's blinks sometimes

It’s the same general concept as AA for a support. You don’t disable reliably, bkb fucks you, but you have other ways of just fucking an enemy initiation or teamfight. I won’t argue there aren’t better alternatives, but it’s not completely untenable.
As for core Veno, I’m not saying you smash them early and instawin. There has to be a real core to take over when you fall off, but that’s true of many, many heroes. When I talked about support Veno, I didn’t mean just a partner for the lane, I meant for the game. Someone you enable with vision and slows, like an Ursa. Alternatively, no matter your role, you shut down most melee cores once bkbs run low. I also specifically said not to walk into a group and nova, don’t know why you’re acting like I said that. You pop nova once a team fight breaks out to force early BKBs and you do this safely. Or, if your team can fight through the BKB timer, you wait then pop nova.
He’s not a right clicking core and he’s not a nuking magic core. He’s somewhere in between, but definitely not useless. Regardless, I will agree he feels really, really bad when behind.

Not him but im divine and Zeus is one of my top heroes with around 70% winrate
Things must change a tier above me, because every Zeus I’ve seen for months gets shit on
is now a good time to try getting into dota 2?
first timer or coming back?
either way it's a good time since TI is just around the corner
For about a month before the TI hype dies down and you find yourself hating pubs like you always have and realizing none of your friends play the game anymore.
Fucking rhasta players

what happens when one of them dies?
Depends what one of them dies from.
They share some, but not all of their organs.
Depens on how they die I guess. If their heart fails obviously they both die. But if one of their heads gets cut off the other one might live only with half their body paralyzed. I dont fucking know, I'm drunk, fuk you.
Their flesh melts and becomes a cocoon that covers their entire body, while they undergo metamorphosis inside
One down, one to go
