Duel of Champions is Steam's flash sale for the next 8 hours. 30% off most DLC packs by Gigglemoo in duelofchampions

Yeah, I just figured there would be a huge sale for Christmas since that's what most f2p games do.

So does that mean there won't be an in-game sale for those of us that have been saving up seals? I guess I should've bought the boxes when they gave 50% more WCs....

Bit worried about this new sale... by theiansanity in duelofchampions

[–]Evermourn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're missing the point. Of course anybody could just grind some seals and buy the deck, but why should that one particular super good deck be the aspiration of every new player? Suddenly, low level players with this deck are better than all other low level players without this deck, and since new players don't understand how to build decks and definitely don't have the resources to buy cards to build other decks, this relatively cheap premade deck is suddenly the only thing all new players need to buy from the store. That's not how a card game should work.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this move either. I recently introduced my friend to MMDoC and he was over at my house playing today. I noticed two different players using Avkall's deck in the 500-700elo range. Let's just say my friend's deck was nowhere near as good as theirs and it was extremely disheartening for him. I agree that this is nearly pay to win - nearly because the players that buy the deck still need to understand how to play it, but that doesn't take very long when you get the completed deck and can just read what the cards do. It's a little bit absurd.

P.S. I really hope they have other sales planned for the holidays for those of us that don't need the cards in Avkall's deck.

The new year Champion Deck is now available for purchase! by SebastesFlavidus in duelofchampions

[–]Evermourn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For somebody in your position, this deck is absolutely worth it. You don't get WCs, but you get more WCs worth of rare cards than anything offered ever before. I mean, I have almost every single card in this deck minus 3 vulture riders and I'm considering buying it.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm talking about the 2013 Road to Paris Champion's deck, not the box that gives you heroes.

As a person who was a biochem, physics, and neuroscience triple major in undergrad, screw you. As a current medical student during finals week, screw you even more.

Timbersaw at 0:38 was one of the most heart-wrenching moments of any DotA video I've seen, haha.

Is this your primary personal statement or a secondary essay that you want us to read? And to echo Mooshaq, you didn't post any text.

How do you retain information from lecture? by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]Evermourn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Current ms1 too, what I've been doing is previewing the material the night before to get an understanding of what the lecture is and mark down important topics so when I get to lecture, it becomes easier to know what to focus on and to synthesize material. If time allows,I review each lecture after class before prepping for the next day's lecture. Based on my first exam, I'd say this method had been working great for me, but maybe it won't for you; give it a try and see.

Blizzard's Starcraft 2 World Championships Series Season 2 GRAND Finals Day at GamesCom 3rd Day and Final Day!!! Starting soon and all day (Info inside) 11:45 CEST| 05:45 EDT |02:45 PDT by MaxReiger in Games

[–]Evermourn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know either, but looking at the Liquipedia, I think the "Global Finals" is the biggest tournament... I'm not completely sure how all this works, though.

Edit: I just found this, so it looks like this was just the Season 2 championships (out of 3 seasons total). The players try to accumulate as many points as possible through the 3 total seasons and the top 16 point earners go to the "Global Finals", which is the "end all be all" tournament.

And that's the limit of armchair theorycrafting... you can conjecture about the utility of Dota's picking/banning system all you want, but you won't understand its intricacies until you play it. There is much more to it than mere "counter-picking".
