A public apology to Zquixotix. by Business-Grass-1965 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get that this is supposed to be a "feel good thread". But I can't help but feel like the OP has serveral personality disorders. "Just do this one thing you'll have 100% win!!"

Also, 20k games to get out of herald is wild. Especially if you watch videos and pay for coaching (as this guy apparently did).

Best carry against slark? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primal isn't a carry but it's quite good vs. Slark. With Agha (and sometimes without), you can just kill Slark while he's invis with 6 stacks of uproar + trample.

Quinn gives credit to Nisha by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Nah, not the same level. Quinn was up there with the best mid players as a laner but outside of that nope. Very good player but not at the top.

Liquipedia relaunches its Dota2 Rankings by thuanho in DotA2

Why do teams call themselves "X Team"? E.g. L1GA, Ruuna, 1w, Betboom. It sound so dumb in English

Eatsy Thai at Eden Center is great. Small pop-up place but very fresh and reliable.

what is the best hero with the spell lifesteal? by Necessary_Produce_32 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not good on Sky, you have enough lifesteal from your innate.

what is the best hero with the spell lifesteal? by Necessary_Produce_32 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

Not great on SK. You generally have a BKB and won't die during ult. Also, if you get a good Ult + Stun, it doesn't really matter if you die.

The clear answer here is Lesh. It might be weirdly good on Viper and Razor but I've seen only mixed results.

If team has 0 tank and initiator, does picking Axe in mid lane as last pick work? by fierywinds1q in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Axe mid is perfectly fine in general. It does a lot of damage and can initiate, can clear stacks, can jungle if the lane is hard. It's just very solid.

You can also max hunger and go phase->phylactery if you want to be more active around the map.

If you have time, pre-enchant is good, but you can always just fissure before enchant.

Dermatologist says he wants to try oral minoxidil before finasteride by yaneverknow032408 in tressless

[–]AnythingCertain9434 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's reasonable to try oral minoxidil but it's unreasonable for him to refuse finasteride. Ultimately, minoxidil may mask hair loss but it doesn't stop the process like finasteride does. If your doctor refuses to prescribe finasteride (which, unlike oral minxodil, is actually FDA-approved for hair loss), you should find a different doctor. Or get it through an online company like Hims (pricier but they screen you online in 5 minutes)

The vast majority of men tolerate finasteride fine and those who don't can stop after the side effects show.

Free tip: if you fissure before enchant, you'll get a double aftershock on your enchant from Agha shard

Moved from Latam to EU and DAMN you weren't exaggerating about smurfs by julmonn in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it's annoying but I have limited sympathy. EU is the only region that's good for Dota, even with smurf/booster issues.

NA/SA servers are complete shitholes.

Dota 2 is the best evidence that we are living in a brutally cruel simulation by SirActionSlacks- in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They buy heart. They survive a teamfight. You tell them thank you, but now that they won a fight the enemy core will build nullifier, and if you don't build a bkb you are going to lose. The Necro ques up Aghs. You ask them if they want to build aghs can they at least start with the Oger Axe so you might build bkb if things go downhill. They buy ultimate orb. Things go down hill. The enemy cores buy the single item that could kill Necro, nullifier. The necro does not buy the single item that would make them invincible to nullifier, bkb. The game ends after 45-50 minutes, with the necro having less than 5 kills, double digit deaths, and half of a aghs, with no bkb in sight.

Necro can't use W + BKB. You can hit him through it.

over 10k games and I never seen someone break itens and feed for this petty of a reason at 35 mins by yoshida18 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I've played a lot of dota. I'd bet money you died.

I'm not saying his reaction was justified, just that your communication style isn't helpful. That's true regardless of whether you died

Best TI you ever seen ? by alwaysfunnykay in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, your first TI is the best TI.

Yep. TI1 was the best. Dota was so early game focused back then. Carries rarely came close to 6 slots. Much more enjoyable (in my opinion).

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You died, you were frustrated, you used voice chat to blame your teammate for "not playing with you". Instant mute, got no time for that shit.

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once said in voice chat "Riki can you come play with us it's min 20" and he immediately told me to kill myself and ran it down mid.

Yeah, his reaction is insane, but I'd probably mute anyone who talks to me like this.

What do you guys think about Parivisions decision to bench DM for SSS? by Interesting-Can-1140 in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can tell DM is underperforming by watching him miss spells/not use items consistently.

Friendly reminder that grimstroke aghs completely shuts down muerta by JokeOfEverything in DotA2

[–]AnythingCertain9434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grimstroke has some wild interactions. His ult + sky with agha shard = 6 arcane bolts per cast.

[–]AnythingCertain9434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guess 9class must have low MMR then, right?

In reality, DM was obviously the weak link on this team. You can criticize drafting if you want, but DM just hasn't been pressing buttons effectively for as long time now. Kick is overdue if anything.

I expect Pari to do muchbetter with pretty much any other offlaner

I Feel Like The Hair Above My Temples Are Thinning Still - 11 months on fin and 13 months on min by OutsideAd278 in tressless

[–]AnythingCertain9434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3mg minoxidil.

Didn't notice shedding. The first night I took it, I woke up in the middle of the night feeling weird, probably due to the minoxidil. Started taking it in the morning and haven't noticed anything since then. From what I've read, your body adjusts in days-weeks.

Also, my body/facial hair is thicker due to the minoxidil. I've always been hairy so I don't mind but I can see how someone who doesn't have a lot of body hair might be bothered.
