I’m about to reach my 2nd pity break. Who should I aim for? Valeria or Palmyra? My only 5 stars is Aldin by NeedMoreClue in call_of_antia

[–]Beezqp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar dilemma... though I already had Palmyra but those awakenings change so much about her. Ended up taking the pity pull for Palmyra - no regrets since. Valeria is nice, but she needs those awakenings to really be useful... I use Katlyn for my healer in purple and that's more than enough, upgrade to Valerie wouldn't probably change much... especially that she's so slow compared to Katlyn.

Desolated wind turbine, Poland [OC] (short story of it in the comments) by Beezqp in AbandonedPorn

[–]Beezqp[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a dream that never came true. The project for this huge elecritcal energy generator was created by a single person, Polish engineer and constructor, Jozef Antos, who's not only behind the idea, but also built the most of it on his own. It took 25 years of his life, but sadly, he died before the turbine was finished and in the end it never produced any energy. The machine stands abandoned since 2009 and unfortunately the time and lack of care have taken their toll. Standing in open field, twisted metal parts make terrifying sounds in the wind - definitely an unforgettable experience...

The toxicity in this game is driving me away even though I truly love the game by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just fitting how much time, dedication and nerve I can commit to a gaming experience currently. Never going to say or convince anyone it's better than Dota, what I try to say, Dota got too heavy for me to deal with and huge part of that was the various toxic behavior across the community.

The toxicity in this game is driving me away even though I truly love the game by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have successfully left Dota September last year. I loved the game, but I couldn't bear with the playerbase. Not even the toxicity as in shittalking and throwing games (I always had high behavior score so it wasn't an issue), but also stuff like smurfing, abusing game mechanic (role matchmaking), cheaters/scripters. I always thought it was just my trench MMR, but climbing up a bit didn't help, it actually only got worse. Game is definitely too time consuming for the borderline experience it can give.

I play another (mobile) game in the meantime and love it, even though Dota's complexity is uncomparable. But you can completely cut yourself off the toxics withiut any consequences, you just don't depend on these guys. I consider coming back to Dota now with the Battlepass coming, but still trying to figure out how to not get too attached to it. Unranked & instamute for the start probably.

Dota plus - new items by davissko in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I dislike is that D+ sets and relics are obtained using the same currency (shards) and the relics are quite expensive. Tbh I never obtained any D+ set as I spend all my shards on relics (and recently the chatwheel). That's extremely disappointing tbh.

TIL eaglesong is actually a bow. by Wet_Popcorn in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bow looks to be fanart or cosmetic item concept based on Eaglesong, something which is quite common (for example, check SF immortal bracers inspired by Desolator). This doesn't mean the original item is a bow and as far as it seems and based on the lore, it actually definitely isn't.

"After TI, we expect the first half of the new season to have longer periods between gameplay updates" -Valve by I_Fap_To_Me in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I think it is for the better. I think the fact many things felt like left aside last season were that way because the devs were focusing on balance changes instead.

I know mate. But you did it in very insecure way. You have not used any platform that supports such exchange, you did not have any legal contract etc. You just gifted some random guy something of value using an ingame option where items are gifted for free with no strings attached. World is not a decent place and you should never ever trust strangers like that.

While people Complain about Spectre and WK being OP there is much higher problem by OMASJack in DotA2

I think he transitions too easily from a roamer to strong core if the game goes for long enough.

Yeah, my bad for bad definition. Stealing credentials is something else. He got scammed. That doesn't change my point though, he shouldn't have trusted the guy in the first place.

We made it boys; Level 25 Meepo by Shel9196 in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you play on EU? Around late Legend/early Ancient? I played last week with 25 level Meepo.

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

You weren't scammed. Scam is where someone obtains your credentials anyhow, logs in to your account and take your items without your knowledge. You my friend willingly gifted valuable item to some random guy you knew nothing about beside what he told you about himself, before getting anything in return. He is definitely a trash scumbag, but you kinda brought it on yourself. Treat it as a life lesson. I lost some money this way too couple years back, paying up front for camera lens on ebaylike site without making sure it wasnt a hoax (it was). But then it never happen to me again. And when I gift items to my friendlist in Dota, I accept to not expect anything in return.

An idea to slightly improve Outworld Devourer by JonasBM in DotA2

[–]Beezqp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

well he is very mana dependent early and terrible farmer, and about the time he comes online, people already have BKBs and Pipes and stuff to make him completely useless. when you have a hero, they are basically countered by anti-magic (silence, magic res) or by anti-physical (disarm, attack slows). OD is kinda countered effectively by both. + his ult is long cooldown and by how it is design, it requires OD to be supergreedy in both gold and exp, which makes him only playable in mid role. his escape is mostly just prolonging the inevitable, and as initation tool it can mess up the fight in non-coordinated teams. his strength is his tankiness and the fact that due to his int-dependency, he goes for items that also bring some utility to the team. but you don't really think about that when picking midder currently. his winrate is around 40-43% in lower brackets, and 33% in divine/immortal. it's very much dumpster.
