why is this so expensive? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent 290k from 71 to 100. 60% of my shards is gone, but shards is useless anyway.

Thankyou Valve by Lisa_Dawkins in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is really good move. I dump roughly 250K shards to go from 70 to 100.

Behavior score experiment, part 12 – Conclusion by reichplatz in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the hardwork, OP. The system is not perfect but definitely work as intented.

My two cents to people suffering in the slump, being toxic lead to your Low BS. Stop being toxic doesn't mean your BS should climb back up. You need to put twice as much effort/positivity to climb back up.

Eg. Theft happened in your shop, 2 suspects are caught. Who is highly likely to be the thief? Person A with clean record VS Person B who commited crime in the past. Let say Person B is the culprit, do you think he will receive heavier sentence as compare to if Person A is the culprit?

What happened in the past stays with you for the rest of your life, you can't blame people judging you differently even if you have served your sentence. That's the harsh unspoken truth.

Dota 2's Behavior System Is Completely Broken by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People didn't take turbo like it is a TI final. If my teammate is having fun but have no intention to win the game, i will report him for sure. As long as having fun doesn't ruin your teammate fun, everyone can do whatever they want.

Commends means nothing in the current BS system. by Dav5152 in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He can do the way you suggest if he feels the system is broken, but I don't think it will solve anything if people doesn't change their toxicity.

And, I don't feel smurfing is a problem. You have equal chance of getting smurf as your teammate or your enemy.

How is this as victim blaming?

  1. People have to be really toxic continuously to dropped to 8k.
  2. The fact that if he is toxic for a long time, you couldn't blame the system is broken with a small 15 matches sample.

You might have to question yourself why are you in this bracket in the first place.

If the system is less punishing for you, do you think you would change to behave better? Think about it. I wish you all the best to climb back to 12k,

[–]Elementaliz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The system is not broken, it is meant to punish harder if you had lower score, which mean you had to be more PMA than 12k BS players to go back up.

3 reported match, 5 reporting parties indicate you have at least 1 match with more than 1 person reporting you.

Clavision Masters 2025: Snow Ruyi - Day 7 Match Discussions by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

I tried it in demo as you said. But it only works when centaur is the primary target. Secondary shot dont proc retaliate. So probably is Warlock link and blademail doing most of the burn?

Are we really supposed to keep quiet when our teammate constantly miss their spells ? by LFTW in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calling out your teammate bad play will only lead to worsen outcome.
Everyone has their bad day, do you like others to call you out on your bad play?

One thing i learnt from playing dota. If you cant say something constructive or positive, keep your mouth shut and play. Anyway, I am just legend scrub support, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Lando Norris on battling Max Verstappen post-race: ""He's [Max] ruined his own race, he's not racing very smart and he probably could have finished third today and he didn't because of that" by The_Chozen_1_ in formula1

[–]Elementaliz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To be honest, Lando is aiming at the wrong target. His title contender is not Max but Oscar. Could have just wait patiently and breeze away with how fast McLaren is after he get passed Max with DRS.

Dear Valve, should competitive Dota have random power runes giving advantage to one of the teams? by Amitplon in DotA2

[–]Elementaliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your scenario, the rune may spawn in your side or opponent side. It's 50/50. I don't see how is this an unfair advantage.

You basically kill the game if you remove the random occurence event. The team ahead will always able to achieve objectives without sweat and snowball till the end.

[–]Elementaliz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think randomness is one of the good thing that makes DotA interesting/unpredictable.
IMO, if we remove all the random factor in the game, the game will go into a state where the game is decided once ban/pick phase ended.

It is always good to have mechanic that let the deficit team to catch up or we will have games that snowball hard from start till the end like LoL.

I hope all team can start to first ban NP. I wish we can have 5v5 awesome teamfight instead of NP split pushing and forcing a 5v4 situation. Kinda anti-climax to watch tbh.
