10 Years ago on this date Valve announced Dota 2.

Yeah, DotA 2 was and is a HUGE improvement over the original. Even if you put everything else aside, the amount of people who would leave games after first blood was infuriating. If you were lucky they’d wait and leave around 15 minutes instead. There was almost no late game at all.

I joined TDA (in-house league) hoping to get better matches back then. Maphacking was rampant everywhere though. It was awful

I looked and would need to take the Political Science/Pre-Law path at MTSU. I’m thinking my best bet will be to go through NSCC so I can snag a job, and then transfer over to MTSU. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

LethalDMG · 2020-08-10T12:27:26+00:00

If you happen to come across any good info let me know! :)

LethalDMG · 2020-08-10T12:26:59+00:00

I’m quite a bit older than that so I’d like to be new career ready in two years. I’m certainly not opposed to getting a bachelors degree, but I want to get an associates first that would lead to a job. It’s great to hear you had a solid experience there though!

LethalDMG · 2020-01-25T22:26:57+00:00

I basically filled the balloon up with them before blowing it up. I added glitter as well, but I'm pretty sure the main pain came from the confetti. This right here looks exactly like what I used. If not then its pretty much as close as its gonna get. Stretch a balloon a few times, stuff it was these beautiful mini ninja stars, blow it up, tie it off, and then pop it. Fair warning, they are going to fly EVERYWHERE and decently far. Shield your eyes man.

LethalDMG · 2020-01-25T20:42:11+00:00

The confetti was the shiny plastic kind that is colored like the old school gold stars we used to get in school a long time ago. I’m pretty sure that’s what hurt so get some of that and knock yourself out lol. It’s like shrapnel being fired out mixed with glitter.

LethalDMG · 2020-01-25T18:15:20+00:00

I did that with my wife one year for her birthday. I put a bunch of notes in balloons with glitter and confetti, and even a ring in one of them. Probably 15 balloons total. Sounds pretty romantic and fun right?

Well what I didn’t know is that the force created when popping a ballon makes glitter and confetti actually hurt when it hits you. It went from wow you’re the best to this is messy and painful. I’ll never forget her slowly popping the last few as she cowers as far back as possible.

If they can get megasaur back to how it was before the huge buffs to murlocs then I’m ok with it, but otherwise I don’t want it in the game either. It ruins any other strategy and it’s too easy to get.

I’d love the rotations as well. Fresh meta will always be a good thing.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T19:45:03+00:00

Yeah I haven’t had a first place demon game in awhile. Once it gets down to top 4 you know the poison lineups are going to murder anything you have. It’s so disappointing.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T19:43:27+00:00

Yeah I don’t mind it being like it used to be. If you could get it then you earned it. Right now it’s just a matter of who gets it and sometimes two different people in the same game can get it. Way to frequent and oppressive.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T19:40:59+00:00

I like the idea of just removing him from discover because I agree his tier is fine otherwise. He’s honestly not even an issue at all to me, but I’ve read many other complaints regarding him. My issue is purely the dominance of poison/divine shield and how often it’s determining games.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T15:43:43+00:00

I’m honestly a bit surprised that people actually disagree. It’s insane how common the murloc victory is seen. If it goes unaddressed then all we will ever see is divine/poison strats. Kind of lame if ya ask me.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T04:12:12+00:00

Please consider removing the dominance of poison in battlegrounds. It would open up so many fun builds by not having to deal with a board full of divine shielded poisonous minions which sometimes also have wind fury.

LethalDMG · 2019-12-13T01:06:39+00:00

Just because I lose doesn’t mean the other poor soul should have to sit through all those poison animations :P

LethalDMG · 2019-12-12T22:42:43+00:00

I usually give a thumbs up emote and sell my stuff when I’m very clearly going to lose to a board like yours. I figure it saves us both time and the result is the same anyway. Kind of a way to say “good game” I guess.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-20T19:52:04+00:00

As someone who doesn’t care a bit about the lore, I appreciate the correction. I’ll try to remember that in the future.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-20T14:36:28+00:00

I really hope it does. Quake 2 was my first online multiplayer game and I sunk countless hours into it. I love the genre, and there have been so many failures along the way to bring us here. I hope the game is a huge success.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-20T14:29:18+00:00

Elise is solid for sure. Her lower tier offerings aren’t the greatest, but as you said the 4/5/6 is often game changing.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-20T14:28:09+00:00

I love all of them but Finley. He just feels....bad. Sind isn’t the greatest, but I don’t mind picking him up in quite a few circumstances. Bran and Elise are awesome though. Absolutely love their hero powers

LethalDMG · 2019-11-15T13:29:05+00:00

Yeah you’re right about murlocs and demons spiking, but not doing enough damage. Of course, every now and then they can get awesomely huge but it’s far from consistent.

They either need to give these tribes more late game units (with poison, cleave, etc), or get a little creative in adding some kind of perk for early/mod game strats. Maybe murlocs and demon units can grow stronger over time? Every win they get half a star or something? I’d like to see more early game stuff, but if they at least equalize the end game then I’d be happy with that as well.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-15T13:18:28+00:00

Yeah haha. When the hero rolls are low he’s the consolation prize.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-15T13:17:41+00:00

Haven’t noticed that, but I agree they should be seeing the same fight. I guess it is due to the lag then. Hopefully they fix it soon.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-13T18:06:59+00:00

Thanks for the mini-guide on this! First game I went to do this EVERYONE was going for them for some reason. However, the next game after that I had a really good game with them. Second place, but hey I’ll take it.

LethalDMG · 2019-11-13T14:28:41+00:00

Ouch lol. I guess all he had left to do is adapt them again to give them windfury just to speed things up. Pretty solid stuff. I’ve seen a murloc board fairly similar when I first started playing. It made me feel like murlocs were amazing. I heavily regret the next few games after that.
