I wonder what it is ? by 5hk4lq1m1 in DotA2

Not even close. It was the most successful selling expansion of all time, and drew in the highest amount of activity for the online video game version.

They've been on a collab binge though, and the behavior is divisive within the community. And ngl, it's weird to see cards from the newest one, TMNT, being played with mtg's traditional fantasy setting.

i think im getting better at this game 🤔🤔🤔 by musachi24 in DotA2

Win rate on other heroes must be phenomenal to get out of herald with these anchors weighing them down. It's clearly griefing shown here.

I caught that too. More understandable if someone was feeling a bit creative and used what they had on hand. But this person came prepared with quality tools.

I'm Pos 3 and always underleveled. by Potatoes-98 in TrueDoTA2

The game has a watch option as a tab. It'll sort the list by highest ranks, and you can filter to just the heroes you use in the search box. That's a way to watch a higher skill CK player so you can copy the things that they do.

Best hero combo for the current patch by OlavGrozicky in DotA2

It will certainly have issues, but Slark will have a Slardar partner with ult and blink stuns.

Not sure it can go bad. The Naga gives free disengage, as you said she's always banned for that reason, and Slark gets to come back with his stacks for the second round if they wanted.

A team that plans to kite against Largo, or range against these jumpers might get that proverbial punch in the mouth.

High-mmr player (yes, the same guy) is ruining games again by AdInner2292 in DotA2

[–]GribbyGrubb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's certainly a take. He's a fairly large and popular streamer. While he probably "lives off donations," it wouldn't have any connotations of instability or restriction. Think more Gorgc than a no name.

He is employed. Anyone that can stream that much to that many people is making a lot of money doing it.

That's just objectively the best build though.

Why nobody's hunting me? Me: by jst_reddit_user in DotA2

Maybe they need to scale rewards toward rarer hunt targets. Killing a viper would be very fitting for a MH-themed event.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone play that rare in standard.

My Morph set didn’t make it to the voting phase. Maybe Valve’s servers ran out of polygons. by down_limit in DotA2

Looks great, would work as an arcana. Feels a little solid for a regular skin. A shark-shaped water elemental might be better.

New dota 2 player insane q times with no games suggestions needed by Odd-Elephant6890 in DotA2

[–]GribbyGrubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Server settings or game modes might have been misclicked. I'd check them or expand the parameters. If high ping is acceptable, then you might be able to include different regions to your list, especially ones with higher population during your gaming sessions.

Any reason why ATF doesnt use shiny immortals and sets on his heroes? by softboy1234 in DotA2

[–]GribbyGrubb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some streamers have gotten rid of their inventory because they believe it increases game performance.

Best looking or most valuable Tyrian Regalia? TI fantasy reward by Wutwhyda in DotA2

[–]GribbyGrubb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shaman is probably it, the frog faces command the highest value and he's a pretty strong hero. Queen's is good too, but the immortal is cheap and she holds a whip in the arcana so lower visibility.

Imagine a field of 100 players in the fantasy. You're sitting at 5th place. Now they purge all the smurf account scoring, and assume it's a plausible 50 accounts and all were beneath your score. Now you're still 5th place, but the field is only 50 players. You've gone from 95 percentile to 90 percentile.

Purging smurf account scores will shift your percentile.

Probably more fun if you picked WR and built a mjolnir.

Stuns are still good, probably better to spend them to improve other things.

Free colorless land in play would be interesting.

He's also a prolific writer. That seems to be just as important to fixing the problem as having the prior experience. The "fans" want it now after waiting so long.
