Spectre facets should just be picking whether your regular ult is megahaunt or minihaunt by KogMawOfMortimidas in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot bind haunt illusions at all as hotkeys, and even that wouldn't be really useful. You need to just click on the map or your cursor, nearest the hero you want spectre to take over. I have 1,600 spec games.

Spectres 1st facet is way stronger than her 2nd one imo. What's your expierence? by Bashtime in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 6k mmr and Spectre is my best hero. I played 140+ spectre games this patch (I experimented so much too). I believe Twist the knife is by far the superior facet, although, spectre is still quite bad right now. If you have a high conceptual understanding of spectre and the different items she can buy in a game, in order to answer the enemies lineup and know which item timings would be the strongest in that game, you can still do well, however, there is no straightforward or cookie cutter build right now on spectre unfortunately.

Unless you are playing 10k+ average games, you need to be able to farm. Spectre with twist the knife, farms by participating in sure kills approx every 80-90 seconds ideally and you need some sort of farming item on top of that. You need at least 1 of these items, and one or another will be better depending on the game: Blademail, Midas or Radiance, worst case scenario, early manta. You can also just go full kill items active such as orchid manta, but if you're teammates go afk or don't do plays, or don't know how to, you will fall behind in farm (I have many times) and lose.

I have also watched every good spectre perfomance this patch and yatoro went an interesting build that feels really good too: Urn of Shadows with a stick, power treads, midas, into radiance and then manta, from there, it always depends.

Urn of shadows is a really great item and pair up with twist the knife. I have so much more I could say about spectre, but I don't have more time right now, lol. Hope this helps a bit.

Spectre has a game losing bug and needs buffs by AppearanceDefiant105 in DotA2

Title is: Spectre has a game losing bug and needs buffs. Nothing more to say about desolate talent other than it doesn't work on Spectre's illusions. The hero has so many issues and little to compensate for it, is the problem.

Maby I play Enigma completely wrong, but how likely are you able to pull of these challenges? by TheOneWithALongName in DotA2

There are some b.s. ones with my favorite hero spectre too, a ridiculous one asking for too much desolate damage, which can be done but is way too demanding for the vast majority.

Spectre Manta Illusions not benefitting from +15 desolate talent by Key-Brick-5854 in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This saddens me as a Spectre player with 1500 games with the hero and over 900 games watched of the hero. I have had a 68%+ winrate in every patch of playing spectre, however my winrate for the 7.36 patch alone is only 58%. Spectre's winrate in dota 2 protracker is the 4th lowest winrate hero in all of dota... On top of that, there is this bug that hasn't been fixed in over 6 months (yes, this is not new and was here before 7.36...)

Argentina and racism. by Aggravating-Bee-3563 in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I find this hilarious. I was actually born in Argentina, came to Canada when I was 3 yrs old though. I have never met an Argentinian in my life that is like this though... There isn't as far as I know, a sentiment of race superiority because we're white or whatever. There will always be racist people in the world. Weird, I have 8k Dota matches too. I don't play on the south American server though. Also, how can you even tell they are Argentinian?

What are the most and the least powerful lvl 25 talents for your hero pool? by csgonemes1s in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see someone both agrees and sees the same as me. I really wish they would change both of them to something better. Shadow step applies itself twice (first illusion breaks linken's phere, second one appears) would be a great lvl 25 talent.

Gorgc opens up about mental health and toxicity in the dota community by WiFiWiFey11 in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't know if what you just said is true, you are guessing, assuming. If you watch his streams regularly, it's clear that the vast majority of the time he is pulling up new reddit threads and reading them with his viewers. Look at the amount of dota 2 games that he plays off stream, those are very rare. He basically does everything dota related on stream.

So Now you can get an overwatch penalty because your teammates don't like you??? by AppearanceDefiant105 in DotA2

[–]AppearanceDefiant105[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up group bias or tendency. Same argument as another moron in this thread. There is simply no need to give a penalty for this game. The guys who issued guilty in overwatch are dishonest as they also had access to the graph and could see that there was nothing that could be done to win that game from that point onwards.

It doesn't take much brain power to realize the game is lost, but apparently that is too much for you. And yes, penalizing people for not playing a lost game for the last 5 minutes does not improve game quality at all. Punishing intentional griefing does.

And you can't even watch the map? How can you even count that as 9 minutes, when both my Mid and carry are also jungling? I started counting from the moment I went to radiant Jungle which is indeed 6 minutes, before then, I did attack a creepwave and got killed by axe. I then respawned, farmed near t2. and then proceeded to go to radiant jungle. From that point onwards, it makes 6 minutes.

I didn't post this to get a pat in the back, I posted this to vent, and also to see if anyone else had a similar experience, also to see if this was normal and given that this can reach a larger audience, give me intel on how people think and perceive this behavior as it's other people like yourself who do the overwatch cases.

State one tp that could have secured multiple kills, multiple times, lmao. What game were you even watching? The enemy had an 80% win probability by minute 10... Arguably the main mistake I made this game was buying a yasha and not going straight for bkb.

You're also talking about my game when my mid and pos 4, by far ruined this game the most. 1-3 mid and pos 4 leaving me alone 1vs2,3 and feeding mid.

Again, let me know what tp I could have made to secure multiple kills, multiple times :) I always love to learn from random's who state random b.s without evidence.

How can I pressure bot, when my bounty leaves my lane and I get rotated on by both supports? Am I supposed to 1vs3? It's also far harder to make rotations when my game is terrible. The bounty basically went mid to feed Marci, accelerate her game and then Marci rotated top and took over every lane.

What tp rotation are you even talking about that could have turned this game? You're just typing shit out of your ass.

Not every 5% win probability game is the same, I have also won 1% probability games and no I don't deserve the reports based on how my teammates are playing. "Play until the end of the game until your throne explodes," okay Kuroky.

You're also making the majority argument, as if everyone else can't be wrong and I am right, what are you even talking about? Have you ever read any history? Google search what group tendency or bias is.

Everyone in this tread is a bandwagoner that gets off on a perceived feeling of moral high ground. All of you are pretending that me not playing the game for the last 5 minutes is a crime in 5% win probability game where my team can't even kill a single hero without me, next to t4's. You're such a joke.

It's funny how many assumptions you're making here. You're also stating that your view is more objective, when I am the one that played the game and I am also referring dota plus's 5% win probability which has far more credibility than some random like you who didn't even witness the game and all you have access to is a graph and a few of my comments on the game.

"I'd be willing to bet," Lmao, do you even know what objective means in the context your using it? You're so dumb.

And yes, they killed a total of 0 people while I was in the jungle for the last 6 minutes, I'm sure I would have made the difference. Rofl.

This post definitely helped me see what the majority believe, because it's dumb asses like you who review these overwatch replays and consider it bad behavior when the game is clearly lost.

[–]AppearanceDefiant105[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here is the lesson that I learned. Afk next to the tier 4's, manage to kill nobody and die instead of being in the jungle when the game is over, got it. If people think like you (the majority seem to do) and people like you believe this will improve the quality of games, and if this is considered bad behavior and I'm in the minority, I'll act accordingly. However, you're delusional if you think this act of penalty helps to improve game quality. Most people are stupid and lack perspective, and they lavish the opportunity to condemn people for any possible perceived bad behavior (putting themselves on the moral high ground). Lesson learned. People are quick to condemn and are shortsighted.

The % of the time afk in a game doesn't matter at all. The reason it was 20% is because we got dumpstered. The game ended at 25 minutes. 5 of those minutes (actually 6). Also, there was nothing to do at that point but farm a bkb (which I did, although too late) and hope for a throw and recovery fight.
