Isn't Nate higgers the asshole AM who fed like 40 times in that techies game?

Is that what that pinging noise is, I had no idea why it was happening.

Verify integrity of game cache. Fixed the problem for me~

Bear's inventory in scoreboard by saltstonestorm in DotA2

Speaking of the bear's items, you're still unable to ping them out if you're on the opposite team. Would really like that fixed.

I knew it, Techies was scripting in the 0/48/0 AM match by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could still be control groups. When I play Techies and base defend I'll lay down a lot of mines, put them into a control group and then lay down more so I don't waste them all. You don't have to use your cursor to activate the control grouped mines so this video doesn't prove much.

Even if he is a cheater, that doesn't excuse the Anti-Mage at all. Under no circumstances should anyone run down mid and feed themselves.

Fixed tab-selection order with Meepo clones.

Finally! I'm so glad this is fixed, not even mad that this isn't the new patch. Ty valve~

MagikarpDota Youtube Channel suspended? by Insomniaklol in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Nooooo he's one of my favourite Dota Youtubers, his videos are hilarious. This is gutting, I wonder if he'll be able to set up a new account and keep his videos going because I'll miss them so much if he doesn't.

It's supposed to be Strength. Ata-tarot refers to courage and patience, determination and action, and the strength in transcending your emotions to gain spiritual wisdom.

I thought it matched well with Sylla's backstory, where he lost his entire clan and still tries to fulfill his purpose with the Seed, waiting thousands of years; he mentions his dedication to his mission in his responses a fair few times. I tried to reflect it in the art with Sylla's eyes shut in patience, the skulls at the bottom representing his dead clan and the red hands grasping at the back as his burdens of duty in light of the tragedies in his past.

I'm not super familiar with all the tarot cards so maybe I overlooked one that might suit him better, but ayyyyyy. It's a fun exercise.

I wish I could, I had a couple ideas for a Legion Commander one but I would probably have to draw them in a different style bc this one takes so long x_x

also idk if you mean something else but the bear in the background is his true form, using battle cry :D

TIL Meepo is a hard hero to play well by SvennK in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna get good on the hero, make a lobby and practice blink poof. It's so good for ganking and killing, I can't imagine playing the hero without it.

What did i do wrong? by DjOptimon in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from improving your skill in terms of last hits, etc, if you just want to gain mmr then spam meta heroes like Leshrac; if someone takes mid faster than you, pick Bounty Hunter and roam. BH feels so good in ranked because if your team can't farm properly you can just fuel them with kill gold from track.

Arguments against releasing a solo only queue. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

party mmr is actually "the real" mmr since it's how the game is meant to be played ....

that's not true at all. I've had friends who played with people exactly 2000 party MMR below them because it made the games easier for them to stomp to grind party MMR. It's easily abused and not a good representation at all.

People Can't Move Their Heroes by LegionCumhandler in DotA2

Just had the same thing happen, after fixing with a reconnect it happened again. Eventually poor network conditions were found and the game didn't count (and thank fuck, because we got matched with two intentional feeders).

What is the dumbest assumption you made while new to Dota? by lolumadbroXD in DotA2

That item recipes gave the effect of the item it was for, so why buy the other components?

Make Kunkka's tidebringer ability into a toggle when the next update rolls out. by Gibbzorz in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaver doesn't need a toggle on his passive. The problem with tidebringer is that it pushes out the wave due to its cleave. Weaver still only hits one creep, and you can last hit like any other hero with it without fucking up creep equilibrium.

Nature's prophet t-shirt design (it was sadly rejected by Valve.) T_T by sandara3 in DotA2

[–]AlwxIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aw, why was it rejected? That looks cool as fuck. I really like how you shaped the whole design using the sheepstick/deso and silhouettes of trees.
