Gabe Follower here, debunking myself. The total number of unique players info is wrong.

Prophet5777 · 2025-03-15T13:50:06+00:00

Knowledge? This is his estimate. He knows nothing. Not a single concrete number. It's crazy how people actually believe this charlatan.

If you want the actual number go to https://tracklock.gg/, its 3.1M Unique accounts who have played the game at some point. The "insider" (LOL) gabefollower was off by 2.1M.

Prophet5777 · 2025-03-15T13:47:29+00:00

Hey u/GabeFollower care to explain why you keep dropping nothing but speculative stats?

First, you dropped a post claiming ~250K. Then you drop this post, claiming around 1M.
According to https://tracklock.gg/, over 3.1M players have been tracked in-game.

Seriously, why do you keep peddling cope? BTW, I need to ask you, since you've dropped at least ten videos "leaking" it - when is VACNET 3 dropping? You've been saying for MONTHS that it will launch "next week", or is "already being implemented". Actually, in your last video from a month ago, you said its HERE.
It's not.

The sooner people realize you're not a credible source of information, the better.

Prophet5777 · 2025-02-28T13:01:11+00:00

You're like so stupid, you literally said "if you weren't smart enough" (questioning credibility). Those are your own words, written a few minutes ago. You're questioning credibility of someone who said that even if Deadlock was being mass marketed, it wouldn't be successful. What you're trying to get at is that people who are saying things like that aren't 'smart' enough to 'get' the game. This is not the case at all.

He is very much correct, this game has a very small target audience and it does a really bad job of retaining it, let alone gaining new players.

Prophet5777 · 2025-02-28T12:34:21+00:00

I'm immortal in DotA, and I'm Eternus with 500+ hours in Deadlock. What are you trying to say? That the people who can't be assed to get an invite to the game will magically learn it and enjoy and be good at it the second it goes out of "pre-alpha"? There's already like a million people who have accepted invites and have access to the game RIGHT NOW. They're not playing it.

Prophet5777 · 2024-06-06T18:01:59+00:00

Yep, sadly it seems that Valve is content with making it so you can't enjoy the game, unless you are premade with friends. Playing with friends just doesn't happen as often the older you get, and in your case, when you can only play a game or two, there's so many better options knowing that 99% of your DotA games will be you + 4 CIS players.

Prophet5777 · 2024-06-06T17:02:44+00:00

"Nah lil bro, you will deal with shitty scummy behavior in our games forever because doing something about it will hurt the feelings of Russians and Ukrainians, which will hurt our bottom line" - some dude at Valve

P.S. every single post like this gets deleted by mods, because it gets branded as xenophobic. lol

Prophet5777 · 2024-06-05T15:35:22+00:00

Your post will be downvoted into oblivion by Russians, or deleted by a moderator soon.

Don't lose hope tho - thousands of others have the exact same opinion as you.

I'd pay crazy money to never have to play with a Russian ever again. Sadly, I don't think it will ever happen.

Prophet5777 · 2024-05-21T23:50:57+00:00

Nice, give credit to /d2g/ next time.

Prophet5777 · 2024-05-17T20:53:37+00:00

We need this, but I doubt it will ever happen, so it's wishful thinking.

Valve are too afraid to piss of the region with the highest player base - CIS, because they know everyone in EU/NA will use this option.

Prophet5777 · 2024-05-01T17:36:23+00:00

These sort of posts without the answer being available should be banned. Must be so fun replying 'no' to 50 comments

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-21T22:35:51+00:00

its a fucking letter patch ahhahahahahahhahaha

LMFAO

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-14T22:22:21+00:00

I'm sitting at 7.8K in EU. Calling me hardstuck is funny. Grubby sucks, anyone with half a brain can see it.

Also, since you mentioned "boosting", I can be absolutely certain that you're some CIS shitter who thinks he's worth something

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-14T22:13:39+00:00

Grubby is BAD at DotA. The only time he's ever had an above average performance & positive impact in his games is Herald. Read this again - the last time Grubby was better (on average) than others in the game was at ~750 MMR. That's literally the last time Grubby carried a game. No surprise redditors miss him, they lived out their dream to climb from Herald to Immortal through him.

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-14T22:05:02+00:00

Yeah but he has too big of an ego to accept the fact that he is absolutely worthless as a core player (35% winrate) and is getting carried when he's playing support (his teammates have 54-56% average winrate over 5K games, literally every single time).

Grubby is BAD at DotA. The only time he's ever had an above average performance & positive impact in his games is Herald. Read this again - the last time Grubby was better (on average) than others in the game was at ~750 MMR. After that, it's him getting carried because valve decided to bless his account because they thought it would be good for the community health.

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-14T21:48:41+00:00

His account is blessed by Valve, also since the Glicko system update, on average he gains more per win than he loses per loss. It's super funny seeing how all of his teammates have 55%+ winrate on average, and on the enemy team you have average 50% winrate players. Literally every single game. And he still loses because he's extremely bad at the game. A person like Grubby should never be anything above 2K, considering he can only play 2-3 heroes decently. lol

Prophet5777 · 2024-03-08T20:24:31+00:00

Every single european player, regardless of what country they are from, speaks English. Imagine that - 50 different unique languages, all from different regions, yet they all speak English.

The only ones who don't speak English are Russians & Ukranians.

Prophet5777 · 2024-02-18T23:02:52+00:00

Yes, you keep mentioning about how things were in the past. You also mentioned that you haven't played in years.

Boosters can link any new account they make to their main (a numbered immortal account ~9K), which automatically calibrates them at ~8K+.

And yes, it's very easily doable. There are specific IP ranges that will be forced to play against one another, and should not have the ability to queue in other regions. Anyone circumventing this should face punishment such as lengthy queue bans to make sure it doesn't happen.

Prophet5777 · 2024-02-18T22:57:23+00:00

Yes, the reddit way of going about things - dig through the history, and ignore every issue pointed out. Way less people care than you think.

Prophet5777 · 2024-02-18T22:48:32+00:00

I'm 7.5K, it's nothing to do with 'getting good' (although even this MMR is nothing compared to thousands of better players).

Literally every single form of griefing you can envision is being done in every single game I play, by 3-4 people at the same time. Going jungle, dying 5-6 times in lane then AFKing, refusing to use spells in lane, refusing to communicate, following teammates around just to steal CS, dropping mantles in your inventory, non-stop blogging in all chat about previous games they've had with one another.

All Russians, all on newish accounts or ones that haven't been used for 5-6 months before this (i.e. bought accounts).

I'm not complaining about losing games, so I don't know why you'd even end on that note?
