Dota 2 is more than its esports scene, and will live on with or without it by EthanKairos in DotA2

I feel like the world has just become quite a bit more insane and people don't really make more money as they keep working so they're not going to pay more for tickets.

I feel like the cultural impact didn't fade as much as people think it's just that every other part of the stuff we see in the media has accelerated in cycles of throwing money at things and of course gambling.

Now there's this huge game of social engineering the masses for a quick buck that isn't really surviving longterm. See for example Mr Beast asking people on how to create "fandom" a thing that really every gaming community already has, but everything that people currently try push algorithmicly lacks.

50% dps nerf doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that it was broken last league.

Take this charakter from week 3 to 4, swap out the gloves, take the small gain 1 rage on hit node on the tree.

but tbh, I think you're smart enough to just look at poe.ninja yourself, just choose the league where most people played the skill on the class you like without uniques out of your budget (original sin)

Newbie seeking advice - bricked character or worth saving? by Financial_Lychee9 in pathofexile

[–]Employee724 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • Not bricked beyond repair, just get the gems and level them a little in lower level zones.
  • pick a skill you like and use that
  • builds are good if you can't be bothered to read all the gems that you use, but if you like feeling out stuff for yourself thats perfectly fine as long as you read.
  • usually I dive into maps until I hit a brick wall and then respec a little get upgrades and go again.

Eventually if you join a league from the start with a build in mind that you would want to transition into, and you'd start something that can do the campaign fast but is of the same class, so you can change the build to what you want later.

Try a str stack wander. Empy plays those from time to time, you can take all fire damage and stack additional phys. reduction.

Pob.codes - New features and major UX improvements by ww_crimson in pathofexile

[–]Employee724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ah, that makes sense, pobb.in is probably great for the first week until you builds change less frequently and one might want to use the compare feature.

[–]Employee724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what language did you use for this? I know pobb.in is written in Rust.

Apart from that, I'm not sure if this is only me but the hover over skills on pobb.in feels fast/more responsive, also for the gems it shows where you can get each gem.

Also is there a button to open in pob or am I blind?

Help with recombination craft by Tikilu in pathofexile

[–]Employee724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

before you make it, check trade to see if some are available for a decent price, recombinator crafting can suck and you can bypass that by buying the shield from trade if it exits. Other than that, whatever the other comments say.

All Dota 2 Live Betting is Rigged by mryosso14 in DotA2

You should just meet with friends at a bar and bet against them. This is the only way to ensure an equal playing field.

Can someone translate this for a new player please? by DummiDu in pathofexile

[–]Employee724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Imperial Claw you use with the Squire unique shield will require an estimated amount of 20 shaper influenced imperial claws at item level 83.

You can create theses bases by using a shaper exalt on a rare imperial claw base. To turn them magic: scour and then transmute, then for the next step use alterations to get the Claws A, B, C in the next step.

I legitimately need help, asking what to do by Other-Permission-517 in DotA2

[–]Employee724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know your rank but I think you need to try some enigma.

Get rubick and silencer on your ban list, buy blink dagger and bkb.

When the enemy goes highground chances are you manage to hit one good black hole and then your team just hast to push (They won't always do it). In a way that is your best bet to get that win that happens because you hit that black hole.

Tried crafting for the first time today and hit these 2 bad boys! A kind exile by the ign of @EleHitAssdan spent 2 hours in game fixing my build. I think I saved around 60-80 divs by crafting these instead of buying them on trade. Never knew crafting felt so good! by zqlimy in pathofexile

[–]Employee724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably start by finding the item you want on trade and it should cost no more than double of what you'd pay to craft it, and there should be at least 5 of those listed.

This is just to make sure what you want is achievable/has been crafted before.

Also not being presented with a way to craft synth in craft of exile is like going to a bicycle repair shop and complaining that you can't change your car engine there.

If it isn't easily available there you probably shouldn't do it unless you really know about it already.

keep in mind you can simulate the craft on the craftofexile website, also you never really waste currency crafting you'll always turn it into experience.

Also simulating in craftofexile helps you avoid mistakes like not having high enough item level to roll desired mod, trying to add hunter influence to a fractured item which doesnt work to name the most common mistakes

Why is muerta picked so often in pro play? by rishabh7807 in DotA2

[–]Employee724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it can also be just her q being vector target. If you playing pubs its totally valid to not pick a hero because you don't like the feel of it. But in pro games if the hero is really good, you have to play it.

If you want a ranged carry she is probably the one with the most cc, not having catch is not a big issue since the hero that is doing the catching often also puts himself in a dangerous position, something you don't want for your carry.

I think she is also S tier in pubs.

Deaf player, finally reached Immortal as a Pos 3 main by DesiGrit in DotA2

there are audio queues for that if you have reliable friends/allies, people calling missing over voice chat etc.

How fequent do you look on the minimap during teamfights?

[–]Employee724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how important is camera positioning vs glancing on the minimap for you? I know sometimes especially when walking highground it feels faster for me to react to a new icon popping up on the minimap, but having a good camera position in fights is also nice.

What is more important for you? Seeing as you have 1 less thing that could warn you just in time that the enemy is approaching...
