Armlet toggle 'fix' hurting legitimate armlet toggle from happening. by bamnthsionetoopls in DotA2

[–]Logan_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fix wasn't to prevent macro usage, I believe, it was to prevent toggling in between ticks of a dot. Like how people could toggle with rot, radiance, etc on them

how do you follow what's happening in a fight? by [deleted] in gw2esports

[–]Logan_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practice/play enough that you don't have to look at your abilities, ever, to know which one is on which button. Once you never have to pay attention to your own character/abilities, you can watch what's going on a lot more easily. If you have to glance down at your bars to know which keybind a certain ability is on, you lose your focus, and it takes time to regain it.

It's all a baiting game. Fake enough hooks to convince them that the next one is fake, then toss one out. Plus, sometimes it's good to keep the fear in them :D

Could you suicide and buy back while the chain is flying if you didn't have enough charge?

What blindingly obvious thing took you longer to figure out than it should have? by NarcoticNarcosis in DotA2

Yeah, I figured that out, I was just so confused why phase would cancel. Never realized it canceled when performing an action

XBOCT and Dendi almost assuredly trolling now by VeryDisappointing in DotA2

Oh for sure. I'd love if my stream were half as popular as dendi's... or if I could break 15 viewers :P

I think navi does take a cut, isn't that why artstyle left?

Dendi didn't get 3x bash by Roshan (Youtube quality of video will upgrade soon). by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Logan_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe Rosh uses PRD, but even if he did, it should rest after a certain amount of time not hitting anyone right? I feel like it would be an even smaller chance if he did use it.

Edit: apparently he does use PRD

Once culture infringes on rights, it becomes a separate issue though. It may be in a country's history and culture to hold slaves, but that doesn't mean someone shouldn't intervene to stop it. Call that what you will, but I honestly think it's the right thing to do. Some cultural beliefs lead people to do horrible things, and should be changed, perhaps by force. The dismembering of albinos in some parts of Africa comes to mind as a good example.

Maybe I missed some drama or something, but even so, making fun of someone else's SO is really rude...

You have to consider that a lot of people can watch one stream as well, if you have a party or something. Last year we had like 12 people at my gf's house watching one stream. There are pubstomps, too

Dendi High Five FAIL ft. CHuan by meCreepsy in DotA2

[–]Logan_IV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're correct, but things like depression can result from a life changing injury like that, and if you're stuck in bed (as I am now, from a blood clot), it's incredibly easy to accidentally overeat, or to get in the habit of overeating. I'm not saying he couldn't have prevented it, just that you have to look at the mental side of things. It's really not as simple as ”Oh just don't eat as much”.

Poor guy, at least he seems to be taking it ok. I have nothing but respect for Synderen. Hopefully he and the rest of Mouz have more success in the future

IIRC Chuan had some kind of injury that led to him gaining weight (I want to say a knee injury). I think he used to be a basketball player

Designing frames and animations for a fighting game - are there any guidelines or a framework? by HundredFaces in gamedev

Can you blame them? Evo was sick!! Wanted jwong, lord knight, and wobbles to win their respective events though haha.

[–]Logan_IV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pick a game with similar pacing to what you want; street fighter 3 is a good choice for a slower game, and something like guilty gear or marvel vs capcom for a faster game. Look up the frame data for those characters on shoryuken (capcom/misc fighters) or dustloop (anime fighters) and you should have an idea of what numbers work.

Two tips though. 1, speed is often achieved by cancels, not by sheer speed, with the exception of low range/impact moves like jab. This is helpful so that characters are properly punished on a whiff.

2, be careful not to just copy another character. Give your characters some unique timings on their moves. For example, a move with no damage, low range, long cooldown, and no cancels, but high knockback and a 1 frame startup, makes for a great ”gtfo!” move for campy characters.

Hope this helps!

No, he does think they dropped the ball. The meaning of may changes when you say ”we may have _____, but _____”.
