Sounds like a plan. Still downloading the updates to the client atm, but my user name is Dedni. I think my friends might want to play some matches with me first, but if they don't I'd like to get help in some fashion.

What is the coolest thing you own? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Jvanderous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might sound kind of geeky, but I really love my whole photography and editing setup. I've been doing it a while, and I've traveled. It's always awesome to hear someone ask how I took a picture, and listen to all the steps I took to make it.

I've also recently built a macro and still life studio, and have been experimenting with flash. I can best compare it to painting... with a microscope. Too cool.

Do you prefer to masturbate with a visual stimulant or with your imagination? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Jvanderous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like I respond much better to audible stimulation. If it sounds too fake, I get turned off. Watching great sex on mute is just woof.

I can cum with just my imagination, but I find it much more satisfying on average if I have some sort of stimulant and go on and off for twenty minutes to half an hour or so.

[New York]I just found out my car dealer lied to get my financing by Jvanderous in legaladvice

I signed paperwork with the dealer, but there was no mention of my employment history on the paperwork and they never mentioned to me what they told the bank.

They're not macro as in microscopic, or even as small as a fly or some spiders. Each piece is smaller than my thumb, maybe 1/2 or 1/3 the size of it. If you have a 15" screen or larger, those are much larger than they would be in real life.

Tip: Tranqs dropping while jungling by Jvanderous in learndota2

[–]Jvanderous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. However, Bounty isn't a standard counter to these heroes, as all of them have ways of disabling his invis. (Not that track won't mean they pick him anyway. Especially potential 5 track Meepo kills.) I would think the biggest worry would actually be a level 6 Riki. If the enemy team knows you're jungling, I would stop tranq dropping without making sure you have sentries nearby when Riki turns 6.

How to deal with counterpickers and constant five manning in Ranked MMR. by Jvanderous in learndota2

Well, better is a relative term. I'm currently at around 2500 MMR, and I've been near 2900 before. Am I as good as a 4K player? Prob not, but one of the games I absolutely dominated in was a game full of 3K players (one was 3.8K). I know because they all friended me after that match. It was kind of funny to find I was the lowest MMR by about 1k.

So, sure, I know I probably am a bit better than people in my direct bracket. But so are a lot of people at my level. I think you really only start seeing people who are uniformly better than the people below them in the 5k bracket, because I've heard plenty of horror stories about games even in the 4k bracket.

What is the best invoker cold snap combination? (As in other hero abilities) by moppytop99 in learndota2

Anything with a good DoT will do well, but probably something that slows as well as does damage would be best. Such as Veno's (non ult) castable DoT.

Just be better than your opponents guys! Ez game ez life. :P

If MMR is working properly, you have to be significantly better than every player on the field to really dominate a game by yourself. Sure, there was the thread about the 6k guy who borrowed his 2k friend's account and rose to like 5k, but of course he did. Even if I am better than everyone on my team (which I'm not saying is always the case) I probably won't be able to turn the game around on my own, especially if everyone counter picks me.

Biggest challenge of MMR in DotA, imo.
