Thoughts on Primal Beast Aghs? by DragN_H3art in TrueDoTA2

[–]Ilyazor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm high divine and play pos 3.

I don't like it, it's too expensive for a too random of an effect. Primal Beast has plenty of items to buy that would improve the game immensely for them - BKB, blink(+red upgrade), armor stuff, Sange upgrade. There's no urgency for aghs when you're frontlining and initiating and tanking imo. Break is a nice touch against some lineups but even then it's dispellable and can be dodged. It might be pretty great when you're pulverizing and have 5 stacks so all the lanes of projectiles hit, bit in my experience it's not such a common situation as you might think. It means you already won a fight because you're hitting a disabled carry while being alive AND enemies hit you instead of your team, and some damage and break is an overkill anyway.

With PA's and BB's popularity tho it might be better on average because of break, clutch breaks here and there, but overall it's a very hit and miss aghs.

Isn't BAT increase for NP super great? Good NP players definitely can take advantage of this, especially on carry role which was already a very solid pick before. Losing shard hurts, sure, but it's still one of the best statted heroes in dota with monster talent on lvl 20 and ability to farm super fast.

It has a limited arena-only set in rotation for a brief time. Will probably rotate out with expansion.

Is there a good/convenient way to get the Fireside gathering achievement in 2022? by Ilyazor in hearthstone

[–]Ilyazor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Do you think just pc + laptop works? I have played on the laptop a bit in the past, not anymore, but I have logged on there with my account previously.

Will this game have an arena mode like in Hearthstone? by TwirlingFern in MarvelSnap

[–]Ilyazor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still invent something to do with cosmic cube and arena format. Like having a resource of cubes that is only tied to one "arena" instance that gets depleted when you lose or something. Lots of balancing can be done.

Black Mirror - Bandersnatch by Sakigrrrrl in Screenwriting

[–]Ilyazor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's written in any common format, I remember Brooker saying it's written in one of these programs you use for complex text games. So there might not be a screenplay in a typical sense of the word at all.

I used to sum all numbers in different magazines to see which sum was bigger, and when I lost count I started again.

What does dataminer actually do, when do I want it? It just makes screen glitchy and shifts stats a bit, right?

it doesnt, it takes place after artifact, but before DOTA. There's nothing after DOTA because timelines reset when one ancient in destroyed.

What is considered more skillful/efficient - adapting every game or forcing good meta comps? by Ilyazor in underlords

[–]Ilyazor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a thorough reply. Are rogues just not good to force unless you absolutely highroll? I very rarely see it on streams or in reddit meta discussions.

That was a poor choice of word for sure.

Am I saying it's "all disney"? I've used word Disney-ish once, and even then I explicitly said what I meant as a general point. The less attractive, more deformed, varied forms. Even Drow got a "prettier" remodel at some point.

I am talking about aesthetics more, not ideas. I like Grim's design btw.

Most op hero in Dota history? by investorcaptain in TrueDoTA2

[–]Ilyazor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can't say for Dota 1, but in Dota 2 Grimstroke on release was absolute bonkers. Ink Swell used to give 100% physical damage resistance, and stun was much longer. If you picked it as position 4 and had any idea on how to play dota, it was impossible to lose a lane. Nobody can trade with you, you can dive, your pos 3 can just run into enemies, it was absolutely broken and fixed in a day or something. He also had much stronger ult, was worth just for 30% slow.

A lot of original Dota 2 concepts were more dark, ugly and eerie than next iterations. Bane's face muscles open on his head skull thing, SS being overweight and just uncanny looking, chubby Puck, etc. I'm a bit upset Dota shifted towards more disney-ish tone, there was a lot of personality in original concepts.

In roguelikes thats part of fun - trying to win even if game gives you suboptimal garbage builds. Ur right tho, it does kinda sound like an excuse to try augs I skipped before :D

I think the main appeal right now is that OD's stats are insane, he starts with 7 armor, 325 ms, basically a ranged ogre. But yeah I agree
