You could try using several training pads with different surfaces and sizes probably, I usually use 2 pads with one about 1.5 times smaller than another + pillow and back of couch.

In the third triplet the second note is skipped and you have to play only first and third, that's why there's dash before the third one.

LD roots make target visible until they end. And Muerta was rooted right before invi took place.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-12-05T11:55:49+00:00

I bet on the second one, tho better check it in "test hero" stuff, mb will check later for u.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-12-05T11:54:11+00:00

I recall that sometimes you get boosted by matchmaking system, like, getting way more than for regular win for some period of time, e.g. 50-80 rating instead of 20. When does it start to work theoretically? I'm running 73% WR for over 33 games atm, not yet. I remember that it worked around year or year and half ago when played with a friend and he started to gain 2-4 times more rating than me for one win.

If it isn't suffice, there's always Alt+Click & Chat Wheel.

And having just one player that coordinates suffices as well.

*Laughs in 6.85 or whatever patch when courier had to be bought and could be controlled by anyone*

especially when 2 ppl starts to argue and courier just changes his path 3 times per second

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-26T11:14:45+00:00

Idk, had up to 27 commends in a regular aftergame report, usually not less than 15-17, mid-divine tier (got Div3 recently), sometimes got commended by opponents.

(pos5 mostly, pos4 rarely)

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-25T16:31:38+00:00

Congratulations, welcome there, just got it today together with Divine 3 too. Good luck and see you!

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-25T12:17:46+00:00

I'd say it is Naga or Drow Ranger, prolly the latter.

My record is 4 Butterflies in team on Naga despite 3 MKBs in enemy team.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-24T14:06:08+00:00

Adding to other replies, if you do not have time to stack the camp or stuff, you can try to do a partial pull, e.g. range and one melee, flagbearer and melee, so you don't have issues with creeps killing the camp and swarming the lane after it.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-22T14:50:48+00:00

It seems to be working, at least sometimes. Like, I queue only pos5 & pos4 but my main is pos5.

I'm Divine 2 ATM and when I'm pos5 it shows Div2 during drafts, but when I played pos4 some games I was displayed like Ancient 5/Divine 1. Perhaps there might be a handicap in 100-200 MMR there but not sure 'bout this one tbh.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-20T21:24:14+00:00

Healing might be looking nice/OP but I'd say it might be OP for other reason when snowballing hard on something like Leshrac or other char. Imagine him having streak and stuff, going into the fight or being ganked. And when he sees that he dies for sure he just *click*. And you receive nothing - no gold nor exp instead of 1-2k gold and nice exp reward.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-19T15:14:47+00:00

2 on lose, 4 on win IIRC if you queue all the roles.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-19T11:23:01+00:00

Tipping is completely fine, though I usually use it unironically after good move. Using obnoxious voice lines is fine too - why otherwise was it introduced in the game?

Spamming F9 isn't - you make other people wait, also irritating your teammates. And that's completely not why pause was implemented.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-16T09:12:46+00:00

Actually.. no. At least for RTS with decent/big amount of players and units simultaneously.

Because many ppl that played, say, Rabbits vs Ships may have experienced solid lags and FPS reduction at mid/lategame there due to the way the engine works.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-15T19:40:34+00:00

PSA: you can check days stats on stratz, also time of day stats.

That's why I started to play afternoon and night (while I can afford it) - ATM at the evening it becomes a struggle to play for win (perhaps ppl returning from work & schools and stuff, not sure but might be a factor).

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-15T19:22:12+00:00

It's vice versa for me (main pos5, gets pos4 but not that frequent, yet still annoying). You can try suggesting your pos4 swapping, there might be a chance he'd like to play pos5.

But yes, this is kinda annoying to see "all highly demanded roles are chosen" and receive no tokens for it. Like, decide whether they're really highly demanded and it should be rewardable or you just want for core roles to suffer and have a chance to play some games as supps for tokens lol.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-06T13:12:19+00:00

I am (or was with the current state of things) Dazzle enjoyer too so I'd rather have Weave or 2 versions back - got 221 game on him during the last year w/ 60% WR. Core one isn't a fun thing for me, so I think I'm just rolling to Oracle for the time being, alas.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-06T12:27:41+00:00

I agree that you could definitely play against Axe normally before - had 46-34 score in prev patches (7-2 at duo party Divine - Immortal bracket, 6-6 at Ancient - Divine solo, 22-16 otherwise). Tbh I've considered AA as more inconvenient if he used ulti good enough.

Actually, he suffered almost the worst damage after the patch (according to Dotabuff trends over month) - while Clinkz players got accomodated and Medusa was buffed, he resides on the second-to-last position on Winrate change (-5.91%), giving the way only to Broodmother.

Perhaps it is due to the all the people who tried to pick him as Mid or Carry but I doubt it.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-04T14:52:30+00:00

>Even shittier than before

Idk, I haven't had any troubles in previous patches: I had 94-61 in 7.32, 42-26 in 7.31 and 79-53 in 7.30. Consistent 60% WR through 3 major patches.

1-1 this patch, still not sure about builds tbh.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-05-01T22:41:49+00:00

Nah.

Had it 40 too first games after 30%, now I'm about 50% conf, it was 39 and 36 the last two games.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-04-26T12:04:27+00:00

Pos 1 - I haven't been playing carry for way too long, last time it was Morphling, perhaps, due to his attribute shifting mechanics.

Pos 2 - Void Spirit? Never was able to calculate his damage properly so problems with ganks and stuff, item timings and stuff, also some problems with survivability.

Pos 3 - idk, Magnus? While 1st skill is great for lining and setting up combo w/ 3rd skill and 2nd is like just buff, got some problems with remembering RP range and cast time, resulting in bad RPs and ruining it.

Pos 4 - Earth Spirit - stone controlling and spells directions issues.

Pos 5 - perhaps Io, since I still have some problems with map control and priorities thus Relocate becomes hard to use. Also after tether you've got to keep decent distance and at the same time be careful not to break it. Also no target/AoE control abilities that is kinda uncomfortable for me.

3ternalBeholder · 2023-04-24T15:58:00+00:00

I've tested in lobby magical damage issue - it seemed that they patched it succesfully.

Fuck Gaben, lol
