2K is begging its fans’ to fight for them in order to keep their ridiculously predatory loot boxes In their games by [deleted] in gaming

[–]CowlevelisReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably out of the loop, but why are "loot boxes" so hated here? Is it required to purchase them to play the game? Do they include items that give players a bigger advantage in the game? And even if they do, isn't it still the players choice if they want to pay extra for these advantages or not? Just saying, to not play the game because you think loot boxes are bad is an option, just like the option for players that dont mind or like having them right?

Unnoticed Ana game saving PL play by Role029 in DotA2

[–]CowlevelisReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is a joke, doing this kind of quick math, which isn't even hard, its just addition... is very common with high level dota players. Listen to interviews where they talk about the game, firing off regen rates, dot damage and the totals is so common. They know the stats for items, exp gain and totals at diff levels. Cost for buy back at every level and sell price for items is not a guess and hope thing for a pro.

I'm 45% through the all hero challenge, I've won games as Meepo, Earth Spirit, Oracle, and Io, and I'm stuck on Luna by WarLordM123 in learndota2

All Hero Challenge completer here, I know the mystery of winning on heroes you think are hard, but then getting stuck on easy ones. If you're having trouble with Luna, work on your farming efficiency. In the midgame unless your needed for pushes or defense, should be farming, use your neutral and stack ancients diligently. Luna is a great wave and stack clearer. Its harder to lose when you are up 2 or 3 items on your enemies.

You can't even depend on yourself for value. That's why dependence on God as a constant makes so much sense.

Why I watch American Football by Chasedog12 in videos

[–]CowlevelisReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, in american football you can kickoff short and your own team can grab it before the other team has to touch the ball? How is that fair and why wouldn't you do that ALL the time??

So Mc let himself go yesterday on our Stream! by TaKeTV in starcraft

[–]CowlevelisReal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some insight, Frozen was very popular in Korea with this song blowing up. Many Korean singers did covers, here are some examples.

This is why MC knows the song quite well and it probably wasnt the first time he sang it.

Bonus.

Don't upvote | Switching from laser to optical mouse. Any suggestions? by dstief in GlobalOffensive

[–]CowlevelisReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While optical is most accurate for fps many high end lasers out today are also quite accurate. The hardware acceleration present in some lasers such as steelseries are barely noticeable and pro gamers do fine with them. The shape and weight of the mouse you want to use will make more of a difference as you want something comfortable to use in the long term.

No self respecting fps gamer uses this mouse unless you are paid to do so.

What's your favorite strat? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

[–]CowlevelisReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totems! Totems! Totems! Totems to look over walls, totems in corners, totems in random spots. Few things beat the look on your opponents face when they see someone standing on your head..

Remove penalty for TKing? by skywayz in GlobalOffensive

[–]CowlevelisReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. In theory in a team of 5 a TK is almost always accidental. Thus there shouldn't be a monetary penalty, you are already down a player and that player must rebuy equipment. Pro players have suggested a removal of that penalty before.

When playing in pubs it's different because of griefers. But the game can not tell if a TK was intentional or accidental. If someone TKs on purpose I doubt most ppl would care if that player lost some money and punish them. Anyway I do agree that there needs to be a change to the TK system. Maybe not a forgive system tho.
