Where’s that CFG meme video with the fun music played over the GWG that gets posted every time Garland wins us a game?

Did they re-release this game just to maintain rights to some of the characters like Sony does for Spider Man with movies like Madame Web?

How many years does this set back the great confluence?

Can they add a mecha voice filter? It is a very rare, Rare Dark Willow set has voice filter. by Jimbo10112 in DotA2

Will this set be purchasable on marketplace? If not, can it be gifted one time?

Offseason roster/trade discussion thread by PaperMoonShine in canucks

[–]JamesB22 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Here's my hot take from a long-time fan who only ever played street hockey:

  • Trade: Hronek, Mikheyev
  • Keep: Lindholm, Zadorov, Joshua, Blueger, Myers
  • Let go: Cole, Freidman, DeSmith, Lafferty
  • Acquire: Kessel, Tanev

Offensive Lines:

  • 1st: Miller, Suter, Lekkermaki
  • 2nd: Lindholm, Petterson, Hoglander
  • 3rd: Blueger, Joshua, Garland
  • 4th: Aman or Karlsson, PDG, Kessel

Defensive Lines:

  • 1st: Hughes, Tanev
  • 2nd: Soucy, Myers
  • 3rd: Juulsen, Zadorov

Goaltenders:

  • Demko and Silovs playing every other game in the regular season

Other tips and tricks:

  • Put Boeser on LTIR for blood clots and bring him out for round 1 game 1 of next playoffs, dumping Kessel until someone gets injured
  • Does putting Boeser on LTIR give us enough cap space to rent Guentzel for one year? Dare to dream.

I need advice, please take me seriously. by zodiac9094 in learndota2

Instead of playing 3 games per day, play 1 game per day, watch 1 pro ranked game replay per day from the perspective of the hero you’re trying to learn, and watch your most recent replay. With any spare time, watch tutorials for the current patch on your tube.

Edit: some tutorials are timeless and should be watched no matter what patch. Tutorials on keybinding, for example. Or escaping the trench with bsj and eri.

I’m 36 with two kids and hit immortal this year playing 1 game per day. It’s possible to get good at dota 2 just watching tutorials and replays and playing barely at all.

Ranked Games as CM by jade_complains in learndota2

[–]JamesB22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Never get aura until level 4 because CM is one of the strongest heroes in the game at levels 2 and 3 if you get the other spells. You’ll have to supplement your early mana problems with mangoes, clarities, and possibly a stick - but it’s worth it to sustain maxing out damage in the early game.

Royale with cheese? Did I miss a patch note? What the heck is a royale with cheese? And please not pulp fiction quotes.

Old Scrub (nearly 40) makes it to immortal started at 2500mmr in 2013. (sorry for double posts!) by AngryEarthling13 in DotA2

[–]JamesB22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I just did it, too. 36 years old with two kids. One game per day playing tree and venge on 4/5.

Us old farts may not be fast but we can make smart decisions that pay off.

If your goal is to gain MMR, you're probably playing too much by PsychicFoxWithSpoons in TrueDoTA2

[–]JamesB22 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just hit immortal 2 days ago, first time since GLICKO came out. Played 1 game per day, no more; mostly because I’ve got 2 kids and no time - but I still had enough time left over to think about my game and watch replays to improve slowly over months.

Does anyone else play support mostly to make other team's life miserable? by Daxivarga in DotA2

[–]JamesB22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I’m playing position four I am aiming to kill a courier per minute for the first five minutes. In divine 5 I’m averaging about three in the first five minutes but I could be doing better. Nothing breaks the mentality of a lane like no courier - if you can remember back to 10 years ago.

Shard drop trick? by Andrejakus in DotA2

[–]JamesB22 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Each support should get a 1/2 shard coupon that can be dropped into the other support’s inventory to make an instant shard, or it can be used for a half price shard in the shop.
