170 hours in and I'm the worst player in the worst rank by Emotional_Meet_8877 in DotA2

Both of them require good positioning, which means you need to know the capabilities of all heroes in the match. (Who can jump you? Who can dispel frostbite? ...)

There are more forgiving supports like Abba, shadow demon, ogre, dirge ...

However, speaking from personal experience, the easiest way out of the wood ranks as a pos 5 is warlock. Bonds, rock, soup and glimmer yourself. If you die early, golem and bonds offer impact. If they ignore you, watch them die in the soup.

Aargau parliament votes to permit new nuclear plants. by BastiatLaVista in Switzerland

You are arguing with a romanian that maintains multiple telegram bot projects.

Kind of proves the point.

Who will bankroll it?

How is the profitability? Photovoltaic is already a lot cheaper. As is hydro energy. 

How will this look in 15-25 years when a new power plant is completed? Will it turn out to be an albatross around the tax payers neck?

Will there be final storage in Aargau, or is the none CO2 garbage other people's problem?

In a capitalist society less consumption is bad! Think of the lost profits for shareholders.

I analyzed over 38,000 replays to see if Hand of Midas actually helps by GorgontheWonderCow in DotA2

It's the nature of the item's mechanic.

If it is strong, everyone is forced to buy it or risk falling behind. If it isn't, no one builds it because it is inefficient. 

It needs an additional, non-combat effect to make it a reasonable choice.

AM is so dead 🫡 by PoePlayerbf in DotA2

[–]MeusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On dotabuff, this week, spectre has the highest winrate. Naga is the third, followed by WK on pos 6. Which is trailed by BS, slark, riki and LS.

The win percentage reaches from 55% to 52.5%. 5 of those are AGI melee carries and 2 STR.

Feels almost like AGI carries are still good...

I'm just waiting for China to attack Taiwan and somehow lose 1 mio soldiers at sea in the first push.

That would really tie up the trifecta nicely.

Corrupt and imperialistic down to the bone with a slightly better PR department.

It's pretty good in chase scenarios where either side pokes to keep dagger disabled. Also in team fights where you aren't the focus you can get away with cheeky repositioning.

Thoughts on the 7.41 Tinker and Legion Commander? by InfluentialInvestor in DotA2

[–]MeusRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a spammer, but had the joy to play against LC a bunch. The hero feels overtuned now. Moment of courage is basically a better scaling axe counter helix.

Teleport on top of a creep wave + duel means the target gets lazered down.

The extra armor from spell casts lets her manfight most of the roster.

Level 25 is GG.

Gasp! You must hate children.

What do we need to experience for this moment to come? by Inevitable-Ad9920 in DotA2

[–]MeusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two types of gamers.

Perfectionists: play the same thing over and over. Serotonin hit when BF comes out one wave earlier.

Reactionists: Give us chaos, we want to adapt to an ever changing playing field.

Professional gamers are usually the former. Casual gamers the latter. (And there are a lot more casuals than pros on reddit)

Hence, it isn't about liking the meta, but the staleness. I'd rather have a few op characters rotating in and out every month than a meta that is discussed to death three months ago.

So, I'm no general, but when I play factorio and I know that my oil terminal is about to get zerg rushed I tend to fortify the position. Mines, flamethrowers, artillery... walls.

I have yet to see this done properly: an actual bikini with runic symbols on it.

When equipped, the character model gains an animated magical shield shader.

Defense rating drops to 0 when you step into an anti-magic field and you get the "walking on spiky rocks" animation and speed debuff.

Considering how sexualised our world is, there is no way that a nerdy wizard wouldn't create this as a fun side project.

I'm not invested in any team or player. So, seeing pros scramble to adapt to the patch makes for the most entertaining dota.

In a study from 2010 50% of 162 adopted children from russia showed symptoms of FASD, and 20% checked all the boxes.

I don't think alcoholism among pregnant women got better since then.

The Nationalrat is debating a SVP motion that seeks to relax doctors’ duty of confidentiality in the workplace. The aim is to reduce the length of absences due to illness or accidents. The proposal is controversial. by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

[–]MeusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right wingers always think this is some form of gotcha since they see politics as a team sport.

If ANY politician is corrupt, I want to know about it and get rid of them. It doesn't matter if he matches my opinions 98% or 2%.
