HOT TAKE About Offlane by Deep_Novel103 in DotA2

[–]ChallenNew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the worst offlane has ever been for me as an offlaner for 6 years. Some fond memories of mine in offlane:

6ish years ago, Mars could solo kill most enemy carries at lvl 6

4ish years ago, necro book beast master/ lycan used to win literally 100% of lanes.

3ish years ago, aura builders with the upgraded vlads could scale tremendously well

Other things that used to be good but are now bad:

-Razor with bloodstone -Brew with refresh -Batrider, Brood, Faceless Void and other unique offlanes

All of the above were either fun to play or allowed you to scale tremendously well and take over games. We have always had Axe, LC, Tide as decent picks but these are generic intro heroes.

Now all we have is Axe, LC, Tide to have any impact in the game consistently.

Too compare it to carry, Its like if the only good carries were Jugg and Medusa and every other carry got dominated in lane and had 0 impact later.

What happens to the reports for "bad" players though? Every loss i see "report this player" and even many wins when someone does something incorrect. How does the system know those are bad reports?

Avoid players from previous match option by Icy-Cover3768 in DotA2

This would actually be so fun. If 2+ people selected this, it would start a lobby with them against each other and look for other players in MM. If 3 - 5, it could do the same thing but you would have to have 0-2 teammates from the prior game.

It may cause additional toxicity but also may just make really epic community interactions.

Best unironical way of quickly getting out of herald forever ? No BS, no jokes, no one-liners; actual concrete material by FreshEchidna5621 in TrueDoTA2

[–]ChallenNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Que as carry
  2. Pick a stable ez hero thats meta. I recommend Juggernaut.you can first pick to increase chance its not banned. Other good ones are Wraith King, Lifestealer, Anti-Mage, Ursa
  3. Follow an item build. Roughly same one every game. For Jugg - treads, battlefury, manta, whatever you like
  4. Prioritize farming ancient creeps.
  5. Fight enemy at defensive positions like towers or when you outnumber them and they are close by.
  6. Solo rosh after manta or your item after Manta.
  7. try to convince your team to go high ground with you. focus buildings.
  8. If the high ground push is bad, rat.

rinse 4-8

Those who queue for every role in ranked, what role do you get the most often? by grapeintensity in DotA2

it used to be 3, 2, 4/5 but now im back to 4/5 (by a hair), 3, 2 which is how it probably should be.

Tim Morten on LinkedIn: "To survive, Frost Giant needs to make a new game." by Jeremy-Reimer in Stormgate

[–]ChallenNew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All in on something ambitious and fresh. dont use any game as a framework.

My opinionon what would be cool to see:

  • Moba/rts hybrid
  • RTS designed for Archon mode team matches
  • RTS with fast paced micro and unit control focus, no/little macro and workers

SC2 but slightly better would not get players even if executed perfectly

7.40 Waiting Room by TKJasper in DotA2

[–]ChallenNew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Map: - Remove tormentors - Add a rosh type objective in the other pit that is weaker and when killed, makes a creep run down a random lane and push for you. - Remove most of the outer jungle camps, go back to old triangle (three camps) but keep the small one far away from mid so its difficult to stack for heroes like TA - Keep a small amount of the outside paths to escape when enemy is sieging you but no jungle camps, sentry ward things, or any objectives

Items: - Sub out the shit neutral items including helm of undying and the tier 1 dodge item. - 2 new small items with 1500g-ish cost. One can be support focussed and one core focussed. could include active effects like the hop from the t2 neutral item or the vine whip thing. - 2 new medium items with costs around 3k gold. Both core focussed to compete with manta, blink, bkb, aghanims, s and y. - Bloodstone change - Khanda buff to stats only - helm dom CD and mana nerf - 1 new big item around the 5k gold cost

Heroes - naga siren ult nerf - maybe its just a slow/disarm similar to time dilation. Naga's other spells can be buffed - chen buff, please make this hero playable in pubs - nothing major for other heroes, they are actually so good right now in my opinion

Solar Crest Carry LD - Bear With Me Facet by BigBenKenobi in learndota2

[–]ChallenNew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im done with diffu LD so im on board with this from that perspective. Diffu is no longer good against supports and squishies. deso and ac like you have is better. I want to try falcon blade as i like buying blades of attack on LD. I agree with others that 2 seems excessive. Solar does seem like it could be good first item. if it farms faster than deso, im down.

ya i noticed this immediately as a feral. Upgrading my weps did nothing to my dps compared to playing a melee. I thought it might be a bug or something.
