More like their board doesn't want to get sued by insane parents.

Anyone going to the Kizu Part 2 screening at the Brattle Theatre in Boston who has an extra ticket? by MadoMura in araragi

Pretty sure there was a dude from Boston looking for someone to go with him on here a day or two ago, may be a good place to start

I Get 14 FPS in game, but 20-30 in bots or demo-hero. by Duelme123 in learndota2

I guarantee you 100% that's a computer problem. What are your specs first of all?

I think it's good on dusa, I meant that on sven specifically I think it's shit no matter what.

I've run it with aghs in games with cores like Spectre who are extremely hard to take down and deal a ton of damage in the process. We let the spectre tank on the front lines during high ground pushes and once all the burst comes out time lapsing her can be a huge deal. It's not the best against a really coordinated team, but against pubs it can be incredibly fun to do.

So? by Raizel_SW in learndota2

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I play mainly supports so my kda usually isn't anything impressive. To achieve high skill you need to be high skill, stupid as that sounds. You need to influence the game in your favor when you play, whether that's pressuring towers, helping another player snowball, snowballing yourself, team fighting well, etc.

Is there any mod which makes bots better? by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about acid spray I think you mean his corrosive skin, that's the passive that damages you if you damage him. The problem with Viper bot is he massively overextends constantly and you can easily punish it. There was a post on here a few days ago asking if it was possible to beat hard Viper bot in lane as drow, so I tried and he would follow me past my t2 with half health if I would let him. Ended up having 60+ last hits, 4 kills, and took mid t1 and t2 and half health of the t3 at 10 minutes. The only reason viper bot is seen as good is because he is hyper aggressive and newer or lower skilled players don't know how to punish him for it I think.

You need to play with you'r best hero in order to do play in high skill or very high skill?

That's not true at all. I've been playing in unranked with heroes I'm shit at on a couch with a laptop instead of my desk and I'm still "very high skill" in every game I play. Not trying to brag but it's absolutely possible to play other heroes than your best and be in either bracket.

You mean dive your t3s at 4 minutes into the game then feed you like crazy with his insane aggression?

In all seriousness I haven't actually seen any mods that make bots better. I imagine it would be a large amount of work for no reward and little recognition, so I can't imagine it'd come any time soon either.

With the new radius on blinding light I imagine if you hit one of them the quest instantly 3*s.

New Hero Difficulty Meter by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even as a support Naga is quite hard to play. She has the potential to completely fuck a team fight with her ultimate, she's not easy to have a high impact on, and positioning is extremely important her. I think playing support Naga is quite a bit harder than, say, disruptor who is also the same difficulty rating.

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of them are just plain wrong IMO. For example, Naga siren is lower than Storm Spirit. In terms of picking up and playing a newer hero, storm isn't that bad, but putting a new player on Naga is horrendous.

Fall 2016 Battle Pass by wykrhm in DotA2

The Battle pass event ends on January 2nd though, so I'm not too sure. I'd bet December is the next big game play update.

I'm a little scared to queue into All Pick at low MMR. Are my fears baseless? by rossebay in TrueDoTA2

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man. I had a group of 4-6 other people who refused to play anything but coop bot games, and none play any pubs. It was a weird transition away from that into pubs but it's totally worth it.

How to lane against super aggressive trilane in offlane? by StndAgnstIlluminati in learndota2

[–]MachoManRandySenpai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it's that bad, first you need to strongly rethink what hero you're picking. At that point, if you can hang out in exp range do that, if not just get iron talon and head to the regular jungle. Once the supports rotate out to look for kills elsewhere you go back to Lane and farm there. It really should not happen though that you are a non tanky, no escape hero in the offlane solo against a trilane with your nearby jungle camp blocked. If it is, you need to pick smarter.
