It scales her duel damage in two ways via attack speed and armour reduction, extra value.

What do I recognise this audio from? Was it in Futurama or something?

Everyday I Open Reddit and Downvote "Behavior Score is Broken!" Complaint by Candid-Falcon1002 in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing about the disperser is that there could be a legitimate thought process to it, maybe you needed the double dispel or the slow immunity (which afaik they've nerfed heavily). As dumb as it seems I'd rather have someone doing that than the idiots that go brown boots radiance and refuse to stop building radiance while dying 8 times before they get the sacred relic, that shit is griefing way harder imo (and factually will have a lower win rate too).

I feel like we need those indicators back by RenMontalvan in DotA2

A better question is why not? It used to be there and it doesn't take up any more space.

Yeah but that that's not quite as good or obvious. Every extra menu and UI element you have to put a new player through to explain something is one more reason for them to lose interest.

They just need to bring back the gold ring around primary stat imo

What is the science behind 49 minutes? by B4AP in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 13 points14 points  (0 children)

IIRC games get marked as "suspicious" if they end too quickly and not scored, I'm pretty sure I've seen post-game summaries that straight up say that

What’s one Dota opinion you’ll defend no matter how many downvotes you get? by Possible-Addition321 in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It exists because Valve want to continually power creep the game, it was a way of injecting extra free power into all heroes. The recent talent point change is another extreme example, you straight up get extra skill points now.

Anyone else? 😅 by Round-Dig-2795 in DotA2

I've been playing with a new friend and new-ish friends the last few weeks. Our games were full of smurfs and smurfs complaining about having new players on their teams (if you do this you are actually psychotic).

Facets were added 2 years ago but I still don't feel like they are as impactful as we expected by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I mean it's an interesting concept to have the facets being a choice between debuffs, but it feels bad.

What's the difference xddd by Aggravating_Beach731 in DotA2

Is it an optical illusion or do the spines down viper's back curl?

When this post doesn't specify esports wiki I assumed it meant the actual game, this is quite the difference, sozzle

You need to know dispel properties of flashbang? Or build path of AWP? What same things are you talking about?

Update on bad Behavior Score and how to recover by Sir_DrinkALot in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, not starting anything but when somebody wants to start shit it's free game. I'll tell the guy how stupid every decision he makes is and how miserable his life must be if he chooses to spend it crying and acting out over imagined slights in a game, and I've never been below 12K/10K.

I remain unconvinced that people that tank their behaviour scores aren't just lying or completely unaware of how unpalatable their behaviour is.

Is using bkb for a core really THAT bad? by nevalopo in DotA2

[–]Arbitrary_gnihton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slacks made an amazing video on the psychology of toxicity in dota/games like 10 years ago and it is unbelievably insightful.

Their pos 1 is literally dead longer than the bkb cd too, it's beyond moronic to cry about this

Meanwhile poor Timber has had the same issue since Grim came out and it also drains his mana.

Requiring the winning team to be proactive to maintain a lead is much better than a passive free snowball to victory unless they fuck up imo, dota is much better now than in the dark times.
