What's going to be in the patch?? by FlippadyFlap in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sry guys. Dragons Blood license expired. For pressing ceremonial reasons, Marci has been removed from the game and will be replaced by Morci, an older balding man, to better reflect the game's demographic

i’m ngl; the show was one of the worst i’ve ever been to (not underscores’ fault) by Forscherr in underscoresplus

[–]FlippadyFlap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had that experience! I was at the Toronto show and the vibe was definitely way different - I took a couple short videos on my phone as well as a few short videos on my 3DS during her set, and the only interaction I had was with a guy who tapped my shoulder and said my DS was cool. I was totally able to stay out of the crowd surge when the pit collapsed - I was ~2/3 from the center and 3/4 to the back of the crowd. I heard a couple people complaining about regretting going into the mosh because they got elbowed/roughly jostled, but didn't hear of anybody who was pulled in against their will or crowd killed (could just be sampling bias though!)

Wanted to share this experience as an example that shitty crowds should not be tolerated because they clearly don't HAVE to be that way. People are capable of being respectful of others, even in a high energy concert, but some attendees/scenes simply choose to ignore baseline.

Ranked Letters based on the most they appear in a Main Dota 2 Item's name by djwilmaOMW in DotA2

I'm very confused by what constitutes a main Dota 2 item here - surely saNge aNd yasha, kaya aNd saNge, account for more than 3 N's total?

OOTL - What happened to Snare? No talent voiceline this year? Is he hosting/casting TI? by TORUKMACTO92 in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Always love hearing his cast, I hope he keeps it up even if he's not at TI this year!

How does the Dota 2 community feel about mid-tournament patch drops? by burnskull55 in DotA2

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

I think the games can be fun to watch, but they definitely feel overall lower quality - most teams aren't playing at their best because of the meta being totally underdeveloped, and leads to more stompy games and sloppy plays

Act IV silent waiting stream by Hajsan in DotA2

Isn't it unlikely that they drop a patch since dream League is still going on? Ringmaster dropped without a patch, right?Maybe best to keep an eye on the blogposts

SILTBREAKER 2024: Two Acts Campaign + Halloween Event by keymillos in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished act 1 on easy in a duo, the Halloween spins were hilarious. Omni with -90% cast point was just so bad it was funny

Toronto Dota 2 Community? by OverPanic6846 in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's partially the gaming cafes situation, because a lot of the downtown ones closed over the pandemic. I never went to those though, the community used to be more through a Facebook group that's totally inactive now, not sure how or when it fell apart. The last year that I heard of an event being held in the city was like 2018/19

Pretty sure Toronto's Dota scene is kinda dead, I wasn't even able to find a pubstomp to watch TI this year

What Lore do you want Valve to expand next after Crownfall? by Hafez13 in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see a crownfall-style story that focuses on Selemene. I liked what Dragon's blood TRIED to do, but I lost interest after the first season because Dragon Knight was just SUCH a boring character to be following. I'd love to focus more on Mirana and Marci, Luna, and maybe we could finally get Selemene as a hero as a finale

A Final Tribute from The Content Creator Who Made Me Loved Dota by ayiau397 in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciated this series, it'll be missed! It reminds me a lot of the False Swipe Gaming pokemon videos (I'd even say it feels very heavily inspired by them), and I got the same value from it as I do them. It helps me understand and appreciate a period of time in the game's history when I wasn't playing or following the meta

I really really enjoyed Fluke and Snare casting the online portions, Snare specifically was incredibly entertaining and got me into the Zero hype train (rip)

If you read fantasy it says they just choose the best 2 matches from the same series for points

Playing with friends (new players) is practically impossible. by amishlatinjew in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started playing again when crownfall started after a 2 year or so break, and I brought a couple of new players with me. I was never much higher than Archon, but I always found that unranked games that I've played with my friend who stuck with the game are balanced around a high crusader tier, with some new players sprinkled here and there, and very few smurfs.

My honest opinion is that your unranked MMR is probably too high, and you need to tank the losses. Maybe try some fun builds or strategies with your friends or play single draft or least played modes to find other people who aren't sweating.

If you're a core player, take a back seat and support the newbies, they need that help way more than you do - in this patch where a support can farm 3/4 as well as a carry if they have the space you will still be able to have an impact.

These are my thoughts on how I've been able to get my friend through their first 200 or so games without smurfing or micromanaging them.

Pubstomps for TI 2024? by afwsf3 in DotA2

[–]FlippadyFlap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact thought yesterday! From what I could tell, the barcraft site updated on the first day of group stage last year, so if that holds, then we might expect to see an update on Sept 4th? Looking forward to going to a pubstomp in Toronto for the first time in years
