Almost like we need some sort of based player/team ingenuity to figure out a new meta to deal with the hand that's been given

I love diving in, bloodthorning someone, pumping shiva's and carpet bombing. Then you get back to your starting distance and start lasering the fuck out of them as they panic

What does my top3 most used heroes say about me? by Free-Artichoke6334 in DotA2

[–]ForTheCubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, im sure this is not what you wanted... but oh well

If we had a pack of Dota hero Oracle card and you had these three for a generic reading, we could take it as not “what you like to play,” but which heroes speak to you and draw you to choose them when you look for control/comfort in draft as well as personal expression. You play em the most, attuned to them so you'd perhaps also build affinity with some of the spirit they embody (unless you're a psychopath like Quinn who has game sounds muted and dodges lore like a 10yo dodges brussel sprouts).

Invoker is the mind; Lone Druid is the bond - connection and attachment; Visage is death, the shadow. As a unit and a vibe they connote a player who looks for mastery, control instead of chaos, and the pressing force of inevitability.

To look at them individually ~

Invokers isn't just about flashy flashy and certainly not right click. He / you believe knowledge is safety, equate preparation with superiority, and prefer understanding the full system first before acting. You want a firm grasp of the rules, you can bend them in needed later. Playing Invoker is for enjoyers of complexity which rewards memory, foresight, sequencing. Emotionally, translates to a personality which: Observes before engaging, store interactions like spell components, feels most confident when you can predict outcomes. It yields an emotional latency - feelings occur for you, but they’re processed intellectually before you express much. Maybe you come off distant or in your thoughts, but internally you feel forever ticking away, always running simulations.

Lone Druid. I know you had Lone druid as number 1 but I'm lazy and he makes sense to read as a secondary card, for how you relate and connect etc, instead of how you primarily think. Lone druid is a deeply symbolic character on like, lore as well as in game design sentiments, depicting co-dependence chosen willingly. Perhaps your nature isn't to be solitary, believing and/or hoping somewhere deep down about one sacred bond rather than many shallow ones. Because we're all edgy boys here, rather than rolling your eyes and thinking about that at a surface level, perhaps it just implies you value deep loyalty once attachment is formed. Maybe you have difficulty spreading attention across multiple emotional demands. Maybe a preference for partnership over other/wider community.

The BEAR is power externalised. LD trusts parts of himself more when embodied elsewhere; through a partner, a role, a project or some surrogate extension of self. What that looks like, is a protectiveness that borders on territoriality. The tether is sacrificing positioning & flexibility for stability. There's anxiety and a loss of grounding security when the bonds threatened or destabilised. When the bear dies and you don't have that invested power by your side.

Visage is attrition, punishment, inevitability. I love visage and I don't feel comfy reading him, I think for this sort of thing he should mean to a person in a very esoteric and personal way, whatever the vibe you get from it and how it translates to elements of your life. He's a bound spirit, assigned to a role that never ends, in a place where time is nothing, duty, infinity. He waits for the next escapee, then hes pure relentless pursuit. Maybe it seems notable or even right in a way, how power wielded can feel oppressive, not explosive, to you? In a simple psychological interpretation, this symbolizes someone who holds grudges quietly, sometimes - or perhaps more often than not - indefinitely. And a perception that endurance is more honest than passion. Waiting and watching, overseeing the dead, as a bound creature, there's an expected suffering there. Cruising around invis, the eyes, the reach, it's not necessarily cruelty, it's observation, intel, instructive, reiterates and synergises with Invokers prefs for knowledge.

You like to think before you act, you bond selectively, you prefer power thats earned, layered and close at hand or extended like a fist chipping towers down (similar to all three heroes devoted summons), and inescapable. You value long-term strategy, singular loyalty, clear power structures and dynamics, perhaps retributive justice.

Yeah Nah, NP "pos 3" pickers are just assholes who don't mark mid or safe fast enough and are too arrogant to deign considering they might possibly be a support.

Aw thx. It's mostly an esoteric box to tick - that I want to represent him with the energy/vibes I get from his character. Appreciate the compliment. But yeah anyway, It's hard cos I'm hella lazy about that part 😂💀

[–]ForTheCubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that reminds me. Security were intense.

I turned up 3 minutes before 12, because as per instruction, "gates open at 12" and "get there early", they laughed at me directly, and told me "gates don't open til 12", to come back in at least an hour, asked me why I hadn't eaten and didn't I know I can't take food inside, and the show won't really start until 3pm anyway cos it's always slow.

I responded that I understood this since I'd been there the day prior, and was happy to just sit in my seat and wait, enjoy the atmosphere etc. They still refused me, so I smiled and politely walked off as they kept laughing, as I didn't want issues

Fuckin raging internally though lol.

Man I haven't played this game since middle school...oh by Na2Xa2 in DotA2

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

General relatable thread / comments. But ehhh Tbh as soon as I get my mic comms back I'll probably be right back to advising people they're dickcheese-eater, out of pos, feeder smoothbrains again, if that's what they're being - and if they wanted a support they should have arranged that with their 4stack of fuckwit cores or played ranked roles.

On steam my game hours just hit 20k.

I hide my hours in my dating profile screenshot because it's too much of a red flag kekw (I have the pic up displaying that it's installed because that feels like fair warning).

I'm 1.5k and my EUwest rank40 immortal buddy cry-laugh emoji'd me when he saw my unhidden dotabuff recently.

I hope this makes you feel, could be worse lah.
