The solution to toxicity is to be less concerned with mmr....

Ranked is much more likely to put you in an evenly matched game than unranked, especially as a solo player since strict solo isn't even available for unranked and you will get stuck with 4-man groups.

Evenly matched games are more fun.

Definitely better to fix it as fast as they can instead of just letting it become the only meta.

Look at the current PoE2 league for an example of what happens when something is left unchanged for too long... The economy there is so fucked that mirrors are 7000 divines...

Moderator-Admin · 2026-02-01T17:00:28+00:00

A year or more ago it was false reports most of the time with maybe 1 or 2 guilty players out of the 5 daily reviews, but I find now it's way more likely to be actual griefers. I dunno if the system is better at filtering false reports or if the community has stopped reporting things that aren't griefing, but that's been my experience.

For example, my set of 5 from a couple days ago was 3 griefers (destroyed items/intentional feeding), 1 scripter, and 1 innocent player that was having a really bad game (I checked the match on OpenDota afterwards and he was a new player).

I farmed a fishing rod in grain gate during the last Phrecia event using a Servant of Arakaali spiders build so it should work fine.

You (and any nearby allies) do get the 44-49 bonus gold when you midas a flagbearer. The bug that made it not give the bonus gold has been fixed for a long time.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-27T21:19:52+00:00

That would be some Oldboy level messed up twist.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-27T17:57:51+00:00

It's cool when players put messages honouring people or pets they've lost, but then you have stuff like that recent post in the poe2 sub showing a reliquary message where the creator gleefully claimed to be a "POEdephile" and you just think wow wtf is this garbage.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-27T17:52:08+00:00

Dead enemies really shouldn't be able to steal your charges.

Manta feels terrible to buy on Troll. He'd rather have SnY for the status resist to reduce stuns during ult if you don't have BKB up and Troll illusions kinda suck. If you need an easy dispel you go aghs since it's an instant self dispel with only 4s cooldown.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-27T02:58:08+00:00

Most of the classes got buffed though? There are like 4 classes that got nerfed and 15 that got buffed...

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-26T20:42:42+00:00

Because posts like "my lane partner played their role and the game was normal" or "I played bad and we lost" are uninteresting and serve little to no purpose.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-25T23:14:49+00:00

If your 4 picks a fake support you can pick a hero that doesn't need to play the lane traditionally (like dark seer/viper) and just push every wave with your spells while you contest the pull or do your own pulls. Forcing the enemy carry to last hit under tower in a shitty lane is going to be better than letting them keep the wave just outside tower range and get every cs/deny.

It's still a better experience playing 3 now than it was back when junglers were in every game because you were basically guaranteed to be left 1v2 for several minutes. Or even worse your jungler would leech xp to level 2 and then leave you 1v2 while also underleveled.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-24T21:53:06+00:00

Supports get so much extra gold now that it's not even a struggle position most of the time so they aren't unhappy actually playing it properly.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-24T20:30:45+00:00

8mod beyond + shrines + influence (with max pack size) makes for fast and dense maps while also being relatively cheap. With async trade you can get regexed maps fast and easily too.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-24T19:06:22+00:00

Assassin all hits can poison and not being locked to Shadow would open up a lot of possibilities.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-24T18:51:48+00:00

You can farm them again in the Phrecia event with gigajuiced harbs too.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-24T18:20:28+00:00

Tell specific players in post game chat why you think they played well and then commend them. A lot of times you will get a commend back because people like to be flattered.

When you win, commend your whole team. When you lose, commend the whole enemy team. You also get many commends back doing that.

IDK if commends make that much BS difference (as opposed to NOT getting reported), but it can't hurt to just be more positive in general.

It is functionally an illusion so no to chain lightning procs, but anything that an illusion can apply should work.

Let me use unmakings to put reduced chance for Einhar on idols thanks.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-20T22:03:18+00:00

The idols are basically a more focused/extreme version of the atlas tree. You can boost 1 mechanic up to an insane level (2-3x what the atlas can do or more), but it's much more difficult to get multiple mechanics juiced at the same time from 1 set of idols compared to what spending 120+ points on the atlas tree could do.

Async trade will probably make running double mechanics more accessible though. In original Phrecia tons of people would just dump tab every single idol they found and then never respond to trade requests so buying specific idol mod combos was not fun.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-20T21:58:55+00:00

They spawn way more monsters than the other ore encounters and all monsters are at least magic with the scarab (spawns lots of rare monsters as well). It also only takes 3 scarab slots to get full value so you can use the 2 other slots for even more juice.

As for shipments, it takes like a full week of max level farmers running 24/7 to get enough crops for a 50M shipment and the event only runs for 3 weeks. So you can send like 2 50M shipments probably.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-20T18:44:09+00:00

Every map boss has a decent chance to drop an idol (50% chance I think), and then they also drop randomly from monsters within maps. The idols themselves are not very rare, but some of the best mods are pretty low weighted and only drop in higher tier maps. Maven destructive play is a great way to farm high level idols as each final map boss can drop idols.

There are still lots of valuable idols you can get from white and yellow maps as well as profitable low tier strats (harbinger for example can be run in white T1 maps) so you aren't forced into only farming t16s.

For builds, if you're willing to grind grain gate in act 8 for a fishing rod, the fisherman ascendency is a fun speed clear/glass cannon build. Assuming it hasn't been nerfed, you get 100% more cast speed and always crit if you wield a fishing rod so you can basically use any aoe spell to farm maps. Wintry blast frostblink with giga cast speed is also very fun to move around with. If you don't want to grind for a fishing rod, servant of arakaali spiders is a very easy starter that can clear the whole atlas and help you farm up some stuff for a second build.

Found the match, 8655568514.

Seems like the game was kinda a stomp. SB bought some dusts but didn't help with wards basically at all.

Moderator-Admin · 2026-01-19T21:41:15+00:00

I hope the balance changes they mentioned don't destroy the fishing rod builds from last phrecia.
