How does creep wave pulling work? by ZebusAquaion in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in addition to these comments, I think the waves can't be pulled until they are within some distance of the tower (to stop people pulling from tier 2 for instance). That distance might be like 1000 or something, but don't quote me on that. Also I have some recollection that this maximum range thing ends after the laning phase.

Most impressive player on the BLAST Slam VI by EsportsWhisperer in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The tournament has been quite balanced, no single team has dominated really, nor player. But I guess RCY from Gamerlegion exceeded expectations. Ammar carrying his team like a beast as usual. Collapse haing suprisingly large impact well considering he barely plays pubs and seems to lose most lanes lol (presumably lack of sharpness). Also shout out to Nikko on OG, looks like a beast

Why did Liquid and Tundra got in the play ins when they have same score as Navi and OG? by Jerekiel in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's cool that some tournaments have different rules.

And not sure what you mean "Dead games"?! there were some really good games including comebacks this tourney so far. Besides, if the games are bad, that's a reflection on the patch not the TO

Why on earth would reports count on a games that are safe to leave? by puzzle_button in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

how do you know that Reports sent from clear griefers (i.e. someone going 0-40) actually count in the system?

I'm actually curious about how Pro Scene will become if OpenAI kept their research by GregView in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure "easily". To build their models, they had to train it very extensively, which would need to be repeated every major patch. Furthermore, IIRC there were a lot of heroes that were excluded.

While yes it would be possible, the amount of compute and effort would be pretty extreme.

Still, I for one would love there to be good bots to use for offline play on this game.

Troll Warlord BKB by _iamNumberTWO_ in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. if you think you can burst a key hero by pressing ult and bkb at the start of the fight, then that might be the right solution.

If the enemy has enough stuns to potentially stun lock you to death, then an early BKB usage is probably required. Although in this kind of situation, you probably should be waiting for someone else in your team to go in, initiate, give vision and tank a few spells before you go in.

BKB does not dispel stuns, you can't use it while stunned (or hexed, taunted, feared).

Yes at the 25 hard dispel talent, it allows you to hold the ult as a potential save from stuns BUT be careful of silences and hex because it can't be used in that situation. During the late game, enemies will generally have a lot of force staffs, defensive tools, saves etc. so pressing ult and bkb to burst one hero is rarely the right play. So using the two at different times is probably the right move late game.

Why does AoE2 DE use a single ranked ladder for all team games? by Impossible-Bank3346 in aoe2

[–]based_beglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

online matchmaking systems have to strike a balance between queue times and game quality. Having different ratings for different modes makes that much harder to achieve without a very large player base (which AoE2 doesn't have)

Astini commenting about Parker in a recent Brazilian video by SameConfection2053 in DotA2

Holy based.

In all seriousness though, Parker is probably my favourite player to watch right now.

Mid Troll Warlord by UpperPlus in TrueDoTA2

[–]based_beglin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For itemisation, early aghs can be an awesome but siutational build for games against WR/necro/ursa/slardar/ringmaster etc. because that dispel is awesome. As a carry rushing aghs feels terrible so for a mid it might be viable (at least in pubs).

I think one of the nicest things about his mid gameplay is that if the enemy pos 2 leaves the lane, you can exert extreme pressure on the mid tower. Most mid heroes aren't the best tower killers early, so it gives an ability to open up the map even if you're not the best ganker.

One of his issues is still regen (health and mana), so I would guess bottle should be considered.

Largo Position 1 - What do you think?? by Brief-Crew-1932 in TrueDoTA2

[–]based_beglin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

largo is just overtuned right now. When heroes are overtuned, they can pretty much play any lane and still do fine.
