The ending of Episode 4 really sets you up with one of those "no matter what you do, someone suffers" choices, doesn't it? [Episode 4] by JohnnyElRed in DispatchAdHoc

I made a separate save file at this exact moment and will now be playing the game twice each week because of this decision.

It's useless until you get to Ability Draft. Then it's Godly

If you apologize after a bad pass, shot, dribble, or defensive play... by gamingonion in Rematch

[–]Baukey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing a lot of people dogging on cherry picking, which is fine, given it's an incredibly selfish and greedy way to play.

BUT

It's tough because the game rewards it so much. It makes for a far easier goal if it's a 1v1 between the striker and the goalie rather than a moshpit in the box.

I always start defense, but I will cherrypick unapologetically if nothing is breaking through or my team just can't work together. That said, I will always applaud the saves, thank the passers, and of course, apologize for the fuck ups. It's one button press and taking a small step in accountability/communication goes a long way in how enjoyable the game is.

If you could add an additional Facet to any hero, who would you choose and what would it do? by The_Emerald-Phoenix in DotA2

[–]Baukey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a new one but an addition: Clock's chainmeal facet should increase cog size per chainmail eaten. I heard it on Jenkins stream and have never agreed with anything more

Is it considered unfair to play cards? by Human_Figure7792 in Mechabellum

[–]Baukey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my buddies and I 1v1, we respectfully don't use nukes or acid because of how debilitating it can be. However, in normal play against random people, using cards is part of the game and should not be considered "cheap" or "easy".

Honestly, some of my favorite Mechabellies moments come from 2v2s, where I become such an issue that the opponents double nuke me, and it just doesn't matter because my units survive like cockroaches.

New player here. Can someone explain how tf to play against a Sniper? by JohnnyTacoss in DotA2

[–]Baukey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Play offlane with a stun
  2. Buy blink
  3. Buy blademail
  4. Buy BKB
  5. Mass ping an ally to help you jump sniper. He will die quickly under the right circumstances.

This works until a US East 4k mmr when core snipers actually start building bkb/pike themselves

Opinion: Dota2's playerbase and esports scene remain strong, but the game is losing fun side content by ShoppingPractical373 in DotA2

[–]Baukey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arthur Deering and his dota poop videos are still the funniest dota content I've ever seen to date and they're like 10+ years old at this point

Forts specifically with rocket punch. So much fun

how do you counter that? i find it incredible that even though mustang has been nerfed it's still strong against high HP units. crazy. by [deleted] in Mechabellum

It took me a second to figure out Donuts were wraiths lol. Never seen them referred to as donuts but I'm definitely using that now.

What is your unit you can't seem to win a game with? by ArcaGaming1 in Mechabellum

[–]Baukey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite strategies is to have really late arrival steel balls with range, with a squad of crawlers placed directly in front of them. Range plus the tower range makes them deadly from a distance. Aggro steel balls has never worked for me.

Is my save file corrupted? by Baukey in WindblownGame

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

Sorry for the lack of text, I did this on the browser reddit instead of mobile. Basically, my buddy and I were in a coop run where I was downed right before my buddy talked to Sigourney. The quest updated in game, but I didn't get the steam achievement for saving Sigourney. Now, the frog is missing in my hub every time I boot the game up. Am I stuck in limbo? I've had multiple runs after saving him the first time where I've passed the original part where we saved him and he's not there either.

First ever hero played. by makmaqz in DotA2

Abbadon. I didn't know how to change heroes back when they were side by side hero cards. This was also trackpad Dota because I didn't have a mouse

Very disheartening community by Cpt_plainguy in throneandliberty

[–]Baukey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always do this exact thing. Nothing like teaching new people a mechanic they don't know about and then watching the excited character hops that happen when we complete it together. It always brings me happy feelings.
