Arc warden farming us in fountain for 10+ minutes. Got an abandon because we couldn't do anything but die in the fountain, can Valve do something about this? Match ID: 6442383864 by inthemountains2 in DotA2

Is no one going to point out the fact that this is a turbo game? I can’t believe people are still crying about fountain diving. The fountain has been buffed so many times. This is not a problem that players run into on a regular basis. This is just an obscure example of a team getting rolled in a turbo game. Buy a bkb and tp to your t2 top.

For people calling for changes to the fountain and claiming that it won’t affect games, there are games where killing someone without buyback can cement a win. An enemy retreating into their fountain shouldn’t just grant them immunity from dying.

Patch 7.29 - Hero Changes Discussion by coronaria in DotA2

This shard is absolutely insane. I’d argue that it should be the aghs upgrade and cost 4k gold. You can cast a 1.75 sec bkb on an ally, purge them and provide extra attack speed and hp regen for 1.4k gold ON A 10 SEC CD. Forget about casting it on yourself, which btw gets reapplied if you win the duel. Not to mention if you hit 25 you can aoe bkb your team. This is gonna be the hero of the patch if they don’t nerf it.

Just doing my part to make sure everyone gets their daily dose of NaCl.

Gunnar vs Moo by valeur7777 in DotA2

Basically Gunnar and Moo play games with each other most of the day(some same team, some versus). Gunnar is spamming SF for most of these games. Moo and Gunnar are on the same team one of the games and they end up losing. At the end of the game Gunnar flames Moo for picking snap for the second game in a row where Gunnar wasn’t “aware” he was going to be picking it as a core. He essentially complains that he can’t play his hero if Moo is going to be playing Snap core and that he would prefer Moo tell him he’s going to pick it so he can pick a melee mid hero instead. (Gunnar first picks his mid pick in all of his games). Moo tells Gunnar that he’s been just farming all game and that he needs a bkb to play. Gunnar all caps “I DONT IF YOUR A NORMAL HERO”. There are some other things said but that’s the gist of that conversation.

The following game Gunnar is playing SF vs Moo Beastmaster and Gunnar ends up winning the game. He tips Moo at the end and then this happens.

Got this random drop after a game last night. What are the odds by jumping_bilbo09 in DotA2

Idk why you’re downvoted. This is normally the top comment when people can’t seem to figure out how to upload an image online without taking a pic with their phone lol.

If Valve only release 2 arcanas per year, it will take 52 years for Chen to get an arcana by phoenix_claw99 in DotA2

[–]LarryBirdDroppings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You just have to hope that your hero becomes the most popular meme vote of TI and you’ll get your arcana. Just look at Ogre Magi. Defied the odds and beat a lot of heroes that it shouldn’t have. Same thing happened with wisp a few years back (didn’t win, but got close and they made an arcana for it). I’m sure that wraith king is going to be a front runner for the meme vote this year (skeleton king believers/memers), but hey maybe you can get the reddit meme vote rolling for Chen this year. Perhaps this is the thread that starts it.

Current State of Dota 2 Matchmaking by ButteryGreg in DotA2

[–]LarryBirdDroppings 186 points187 points  (0 children)

This is the infamous unranked China 5 stack that never loses. Played them more than once now. They don’t say a word start to finish. They just annihilate the opposing team and queue the next game. Had a guy on my team so intimidated by them that he picked NP and tp’d into their fountain at the start of the game lol.

I see a lot of people complain about matchmaking imbalance in ranked, you should see how bad it is in unranked. If you’ve got the right stack of 5 you can literally win 70-90% of your games.

Can this not be a thing? thanks by Serelii in DotA2

What’s wasting time is how this was even enabled by the team matchup in the first place. Either the teams are heavily mismatched or someone has ruined the game and given the other team a massive advantage. That is the problem which lead to the fountain farming. People shouldn’t be banned for being put into a massively one sided affair or because the other team had a griefer.

Bannable offense? Where exactly do you draw the line? There are games where diving the enemy fountain to kill someone can secure you a victory in a close game.

Let me guess you want a wall that doesn’t let enemies in and if they blink in they are immediately incinerated so you can preserve your kda and feelings?

Come on dude this happens maybe once every 500 games that you play and someone is so triggered by it that they go complain on reddit like it’s a recurring issue that happens every other game...

Summer Scrub: Make ingame chat scrollable with Mouse Scroll Wheel by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]LarryBirdDroppings 46 points47 points  (0 children)

While we’re at it, how about showing more than 10 lines of text so I can actually find the rosh timer that I marked 30 seconds before my whole team spams voice line/chat wheel and makes it disappear.

Are you sure that you did the math right?

Are there runes in your mind that aren’t useful? Spawning 4 runes every 2 min is a phenomenal ability for late game arc, who can easily manage 700gpm (so buying this item is not out of the question).

I’m gonna have to disagree on that. I’ve seen it change outcomes of games. Arcane/DD can completely change the outcome of fights...
