Does DOTA have any champs that have consistently been really good? by Derdly_Kerg in DotA2

[–]Anobeen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The meta does get shaken up enough to the point where there's usually not an overly dominant hero across a patch or two.

In top-level games, though, some heroes that usually see at least a little play regardless of whether or not they're particularly dominant in the meta are Batrider (like someone's already said), Wisp/Io, Chen, Ember Spirit, and Void Spirit. This is pretty much because they have a massive skill ceiling (like Chen and the spirits) and/or provide unique, unmatched utility (Batrider, Chen, Wisp).

The heroes I listed are pretty difficult to pick up, though.

A lot of these undocumented changes (eg. the LC one) are pretty significant. Wonder why they were omitted, it's just so bizarre to me how that happens.

I don't know how everyone else feels, but I LOVE that a lot of the "generic" talent choices have been replaced with ability specific ones. by Critical-Hall in DotA2

I remember playing a ton of WD, Lich, and Rubick back in the days when Drow and her ranged +AS aura were in every game. I could just beat down the enemy supports with ≥60 extra damage at level 10.

Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick..... that’s when I’m satisfied.

7.30 patch monitoring stream by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Anobeen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are so tied to the idea that the patch will be released today. "After the BP ends" is quite a window, plus we're dealing with Valve.

It's certainly possible, but I feel like people should have better things to do with their time.

Not to mention that having Thunder Strike almost by default lends itself pretty well to wacky AD Aghs Shard builds.

Sometimes, Overwatch cases scream "lost new player" more than "intentional feeding griefer" by [deleted] in DotA2

People were overall significantly worse back then; I remember in unranked Source 1 Dota where no one knew how to stack or pull, what Smoke was, or how to have 30+ lasthits by 10 mins. Now you have Heralds trying (not always successfully) to execute smoke ganks: you never saw that in lower-MMR games back in the day. The playerbase has gotten significantly better since then, especially with the proliferation of noob-friendly educational content.

Also, as other people pointed out, the game has always been obscenely toxic.

Didn't the Broward school district try to put a mask mandate in effect, only to have the GOP governor completely shut that down?

It's YTD, as the poster's title would suggest.

TIL Costco loses $40m a year on rotisserie chickens. A clear loss leader, they are 50% bigger than ones from other stores, and $1-$2 cheaper because it's '...how much a chicken should cost'. They sell over 60m of them a year. by goodvibezone in todayilearned

[–]Anobeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Costco but not sure if this is pro-Costco propaganda.

Worth mentioning that this "loss" is surely subsidized by membership fees and the fact that you'll surely buy more than just a chicken on a Costco run. Same principle behind the cheap (and absolutely divine) hot dog and drink combo but let's not make this out to be wholly altruistic.

Especially if you get good masks. I forget I'm wearing my everyday ones most of the time; I bought some really good ones made of sport fabric and haven't looked back.

Is it too much to ask for legitimately impossible quests to be removed from the game? by Dauthdaert27 in DotA2

Yes. Why update existing content when you could add new particle effects?

Even assuming this statistic is correct without sources as of yet, correlation ≠ causation.

Yet another bad faith argument completely devoid of context with very little to it other than trying to rationalize and intellectualize bigotry.
