By Dennis St. James Go To PostThat's fucking sad. Someday we'll get a good game ran by competent people, but that day still seems so far away.I certainly hope so. I honestly don't enjoy playing the game but it is one of my favorites to watch pros play. If the pro scene can't stay healthy, there is basically no more reason for me to pay attention to DotA 2.
OG likes to play too close to the fire and it gets them burned a lot lately. Ana is the carry they need but he may be retired for good and I don't blame him.
Still one of the most entertaining teams to watch.

No idea why people were so obsessed by Diretide
Some of the skins are nice, but the actual mode is a bit boring

By Hitch Go To PostNo idea why people were so obsessed by DiretideI didn't get a chance to play it the first time but I remember a bunch of people loving it back then. Maybe it did some things that were novel at the time?

By faridmon Go To PostAny opinion on the new preseason of League of Legend?I honestly haven't paid attention to what is going on in that game for like five years now. Sorry. :(
By Kibner Go To PostI honestly haven't paid attention to what is going on in that game for like five years now. Sorry. :(They changed the entire Item sets and system
as someone who have been playing the game, the entire system is confusing and I don't know if I am enjoying the change or not.
By faridmon Go To PostThey changed the entire Item sets and systemOh, wow, that sounds like a big change! Is it as big as adding the talent tree in DotA 2? That change was very questionable at the beginning but has grown to be a boon after they refined it over a year or two.

Need a Sven nerf yesterday
What a fucking boring hero to have become the king of the meta. Doesn't have to do anything to farm properly, is ready to dominate fights well before the other carries come online, and his ult is up half the time and basically forces the other team to play on his terms.
Cleave as a basic ability on a carry has always seemed a bit odd to me, surprised it's taken this long to really become something that is giving him a huge advantage on the pro scene. Would love it if meepo or tinker could get buffed to become viable again. They're never picked at the top or bottom level, so I never see them.

Watched that one
Dire won one fight that j thought might get them back into it, but you're kinda fucked when you get yourself into a state where Enigma can afford to just black hole a single hero intentionally
Io is crazy strong at the moment, iirc he was tethered to Luna for most of that match. They trilaned with Tusk as well early on, and Dire had no counter to him rolling himself, Luna and Io onto Viper. First time in a while I've seen Tusk used to great effect.

LPL starts tomorrow. Really excited, best league in the world (despite Damwon winning worlds)
So many new and exciting young talent!

What do you mean ''moves so slow''?
The pace is slow? or the character movement? or the fact that there is little action during laning phase?

By faridmon Go To PostWhat do you mean ''moves so slow''?Mostly the latter two, tbh. It feels like so little happens during the laning phase because the champs don't do enough damage or have enough CC to reliably kill someone during a gank before they escape.

By Hitch Go To PostFucking sick of the word 'value' alreadylmao
Maybe throw on the Russian casters or something.

Fucking Techies, it's like playing a different game. Hate having to juggle Aeon Disc, Aegis and Gem on a hard carry, that's at least two slots taken by boots and an item that you'd never or rarely buy/carry against anyone else.
Need to get out of the habit of buying Heart, nowhere near as good an item as it used to be.

This DPC series has been great for me. DotA at almost all times, mostly with quality casters (though the hosts can leave something to be desired in many cases). Helps the work day go quicker.
Really wish high skill ceiling heroes like Tinker and Meepo were back in the meta in Dota 2, even the likes of Druid and Arc Warden barely seem to be picked. Proper bunch of basic carries like Juggernaut and Wraith King are the standard picks at the moment. Would also love it if they could find the right balance for Pudge to be viable as a carry. A good hook is one of the best things in the game, as is a bunch of failed ones.
By Hitch Go To PostVP vs Spirit game 1 was really goodIncredibly so.
By Hitch Go To PostThis one unfortunately is shitDa rap gawd
ODPixel makes bad games worth watching though
I wish NA was as entertaining as EU or CIS.
SA isn't as bloodthirsty as it used to be. :(
By Kibner Go To PostSmilingKnight has been terrible on this Morphling in this game. Just awful.The bit where he was just stood in the middle of the triangle with his teammates retreating lol
And farming ancients when Clock went in
By Hitch Go To PostThe bit where he was just stood in the middle of the triangle with his teammates retreating lolAnd, towards the end, hitting BKB to avoid the Medusa glare but not turning into another hero to use their skills to either get the fuck out of dodge or at least control the Medusa. Just truly baffling stuff all game long.
And farming ancients when Clock went in
A lower division team took themselves out of this round of DPC due to one of their players match fixing. Could this be another instance because that almost seems more plausible to me than so many consecutive bad plays.
Maybe Smiling Knight is just high as fuck right now and not fully comprehending what is going on.
Starting and learning how to play new champs in LoL must be the most anxious inducing ever.
Maining Supp was a mistake.

I'm really glad I did the all hero challenge when I started playing Dota. If I hadn't, there'd still be heroes where I have no idea what they do.
By faridmon Go To PostStarting and learning how to play new champs in LoL must be the most anxious inducing ever.time to become an aram main and let go of your worries about unfamiliar champs
Maining Supp was a mistake.
By sohois Go To Posttime to become an aram main and let go of your worries about unfamiliar champsLol thats 80% of my playtime these days.
But trying out champs in ARAM doesn't help you much in SR
50% damage done 20% healing done
we didnt have any assassins but still. i love Rehgar. I wish more MOBA healers were like him.

Jungling with Kindred is like playing on hard mode while everyone is on assisted mode.
I honestly how other are good with them, really hard early clear, not enough dmg to actually gank early, only comes online with enough marks, and marks are easily deniable by other junglers
I wonder if they are worth and if I should drop them for easier junglers....

By Kibner Go To PostThis Mars build focusing on Bulwark is magnificent.Ridiculous that it hits both barracks at once
Wonder if the pros haven't got to grips with all the shards yet when it comes to drafting
By Hitch Go To PostRidiculous that it hits both barracks at onceYou are probably right about that.

OG with a shit execution of a weak draft. Midone has been so bad for them.
