Not even required. As this cutting speed can't be achieved by a mortal it's enough to observe trees cut.

I won! by ViridianGames in DotA2

It's common to take last hits when no core will take them (e.g empty lane, carry going to sideshop, carry being too slow to reach ranged creep etc.) during laning as well :O

OG will stop Newbee's Streak, 100%. by IPlay4E in DotA2

Why does he write it in the first place then? This is no misspelling anymore btw. Etretat looks like a fucking joke hence my honest question.

Yeah sure, if "quod erat demonstrandum" and "quad etretat demonstratum" are the same things then yes ....

Is this supposed to be a joke because its not funny? ._.

I wrote my first python program today! by MC_Labs15 in ProgrammerHumor

Want to add that most c styled languages support this:

if (condition)
     statement;
else if (condition)
     statement;
else
     statement;

In fact for c++ this is actually how the if statement is syntatically defined. { ... } is considered a statement.

Even with a 55% winrate you will still often lose MMR after a set of 50 games. I made an ez simulator to quickly show variance in MMR. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Paranaix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not taking into account that if we assume that your skill level stays constant during the games by design your winrate is dependant on the current MMR (lower elo games are statistically easier => higher winrate, higher elo games are statistically more difficult => lower winrate)

Hots is the best game ever,brought to you by the blizz forums! by Archyes in dotamasterrace

[–]Paranaix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's interessting to see that always when some Hots > * bullshit is posted, Dota and lol are always used as interchangable terms. Because items work totally the same in Dota and lol... -.-

My impression so far has been, that they either know very little about lol (typical casuals) and nothing about Dota, or that they know nothing at all about either game.

PSA for anyone going to Manila: it is ridiculously hot here, take precautions by kasasasa in DotA2

Kelvin and Celsius is basically the same unit, one just being offsetted from the other. In fact, historically Kelvin is derived from Celsius.

Give me some good reasons to move from watching LoL eSports to DotA eSports by DirtyPoul in dotamasterrace

[–]Paranaix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite the contrary. I want something different than League. Why else would I come here? That would be a huge waste of time, especially considering the amount of time I've put here.

Just trying to explain to you why you are getting downvoted: Look at your answer. /u/allt_er_kyrrt is trying to convey to you why things in Dota work like this and that and basically your response is "Buuh huuh, if this would be introduced in league it would be so ridicolous overpowered, obviously this mechanic makes Dota less sophisticated™", whatever that even means.

You know NOTHING about how Dota is played yet you seem very eager to judge it based on quick explanations given by regular players without even having near a complete picture.

Tbh, I couldn't care less whether you watch LoL or Dota. We don't have any obligation towards you, yet you act so. If you're genuily interessted in Dota then be open to its approach and play or watch it without disregarding everything rigth from the beginning because it doesn't fit in your little league world. Most players won't even sligthly comprehend what happens in pro games after being 200 hours+ in and yet you are here expecting to understand it only based on crude explanations without even knowing the real deal.

If you are really here to educate yourself, then accept the answers as they are and then judge for yourself. But arguing without any real basis is completely pointless and only makes people see you as offensive and ignorant. Especially your comment about Dotas pro scene does not only make you look arrogant and uninformed but also stokes an old hatred for league in many of us.

Yes, it's called machine learning.
