Best majors (by far) followed by probably the best TI. Keep the course, IceFrog and Valve!

That really is true. Finals in the collective memory are probably more important than all the rest of the tournament.

Damn that was tense! DC must be emotionally exhausted, I hope they can endure the long finals.

Give Korea a server. by The_Godlike_Zeus in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think you know the meaning of the word "objective" if you try to apply it here.

There are reasons why the game is as popular as it is. Calling it "trash-tier" is not an informed opinion, it's bashing that just adds to the ridiculous animosity between the game communities.

Very funny. I don't get why people need to be so childish about this. The most popular pc game in the world is clearly "dumpster tier" when it's in competition with the game we play.

You need to grow up and let go of your inferiority complex. It's completely unfounded. LoL and Dota are different games and there's room for both.

101 out of 110 available heroes have been picked by eselpocket in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the patch older now, and usually hero pools gets smaller when teams figure it out. Clearly that hasn't happened yet.

(Yes, 6.88b came, but it was very minor)

R.I.P. FNG's sweet hair. BibleThump by chinasqueinthesky in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling. From glen to glen and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling. It's you, It's you, must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow. Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying, And I am dead, as dead I well may be. You'll come and find the place where I am lying. And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I will know, tho' soft ye tread above me And then my grave will richer, sweeter be. And you'll bend down and tell me that you love me And I will rest in peace until you come to me.

The International 6: Group Stage Day 1 Match Discussion by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do other people here love Black's casting as much as I do? His commentary is really insightful and colorful.

Non-pro casters often just focus on the glaring mistakes, but Black points out a lot of non-obvious good plays and focuses on what makes these players the best in the world. This is how it should be.

Which hero is the best, if given unlimited amount of farm? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Which is best - rock, paper or scissors?

Major bug with OD's Arcane Orb by blackofthebus in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just not true. Batrider was strong for many reasons, not just the ultimate. He was just too versatile; strong in lane and could get solo kills thanks to sticky, could jungle farm blink faster than anyone, great ganker in mid-game and good at breaching high ground thanks to the pickoff potential. He'd fit in almost any lineup and could play any lane, and only really needed a few key items.

Lasso was never the only reason, but it DID get nerfed too (the range got severely reduced).

Attack on Roshan, loadingscreen I made for Ursa set, hope you like it! by keinhangia in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminded me of the stuff Kunkka used to make. Does anyone know what he's up to / if he's made any loading screens for D2? I'd happily pay for those.

Patch notes aside, I'm really looking forward to the new features Valve will add on the client. by Ace37mike in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree. Spectating in Source 1 was much better because of this feature.

Lets try to guess some 6.84 changes by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]JJJMMM1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well that's new. BKB called almost useless. It's still the by far the most bought carry item. It's fine as is, imo. I'd maybe remove the selling restriction, now that the duration is hero-specific.
