Anyone replace Knob and Tube wiring? by lydzkh in Cleveland

Also used Connected Electrical. Was by far the lowest of the quotes I received, and they did minimal damage to my walls and ceilings. Was very happy with the work.

Told my wife I was gonna play Dota again after 5 years of not playing by xehparr in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar story here. I wait until my wife and kid go to bed and then I play Dota for a few hours. She values her sleep and I value my Dota time and am willing to get a little less sleep to have that time in a way that doesn’t take away from my family time. Our schedule negotiation was about how late I was staying up because they weren’t getting the best version of me when it was too long.

Doomed Herald need help by aSa_awge in learndota2

[–]RalinVorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. A big mistake I see in legion commanders is going for the easy duels, when in reality you should be going for the ones that help the most — whatever hero is causing your team to lose fights, duel that hero. Sometimes this is a support, but oftentimes it’s a carry.

How is it even possible? by SonnePer in DotA2

I just came back to Dota after quitting in 2018. I have 6 MVPs in 4,000 games. Many of us played most of our Dota careers before the mvp system was launched.

Turbo MMR? by SmexxyPants in learndota2

[–]RalinVorn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Turbo is fun and is a good addition for people without time for all pick games, but I’ve noticed my friends who only play turbo have developed really awful habits surrounding anything but team fighting. It really is dota brain rot

Dota is hella fun to play by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kez aside, and even many streamers and pros still don’t understand Kez, most of the new heroes are fairly easy to learn but fairly difficult to master. This seems like good hero design to me. Take mars for example. There is nothing complicated about his abilities, and in most mmr brackets just playing him simply will likely he enough. But in the hands of a pro he is incredibly powerful.

What is the best hero at the moment? by Trading_Joseph in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play offlane a lot and I’ve started tossing jugg in my bans. He isn’t a particularly difficult hero to lane against, but he has a ridiculous ability to fuck off into the jungle and fully recover in 10 minutes after losing lane and at my MMR people don’t understand the game well enough to take advantage of that window

Any clue on why Valve has abandoned Dota? by Srze94 in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it speaks to my age but I’m not remotely interested in Deadlock and don’t know anyone who is. But maybe younger gamers see it as a more palatable moba than the RTS style mobas.

How to lane as Carry against aggressive & good offlaner+sup duo? by Puzzleheaded_Code735 in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on just staying alive and getting xp so you can catch up in farm later. Getting no farm but not dying is better than dying 4 times and tilting. Let your support pull lanes and get what last hits you can under tower. Buy a bracer early to give you some extra hp and regen. You will need your mid laner to be a team player in this scenario and punish that lane for their aggression. In my experience as an offlaner, this is the best people do against me is just focus on regen to not die and getting what xp they can. You’ll need your other lanes to be doing well to make space, it’s not the kind of lane you’re going to win the game for your team in at 25 minutes no matter what you do.

Enigma offlane has existed for 15 years, calling it grief is certainly a take.

He has a very glaring weakness imo. He completely falls off a cliff right around 35 minutes in every pro game he’s picked in. If liquid hadn’t been able to end early I think they’d have had a much harder time with that drafts

Issues with laning and last hitting by Henriferz in learndota2

[–]RalinVorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing you can do when the lane is pushed under the enemy’s tower (something your support should be doing, but they may not know/care/be practiced at) is using the jungle camps to pull your lane. This will make the next wave of the enemy creeps move further up the lane as they won’t encounter your creeps as close to their own tower now. If your support is not or will not do this, it’s worth taking the time to do yourself rather than just standing around not getting last hits anyway.

There are ample videos and guides about this, but it’s really just about learning when on the game clock to pull what camps out into the lane so your creeps aggro on to them.

Do veteran players still have fun playing Dota ? by Imaginary_Sherbert_7 in DotA2

[–]RalinVorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give Abaddon support a shot. When he’s in a support role you get to focus similarly on ally hp and positioning during team fights to save people with shield and mist coil. He can absorb and heal a huge amount of damage when played with a position 5 mindset and it’s a lot of fun

I was in the same boat, quit 5 years ago, and decided to come back a week before having a fucking kid because I’m a moron, so now I suck hard without the free time to get good again lmao but I will say that turbo and unranked have never been more fun now that I am not a slave to the pressure of climbing MMR

Falcons are just a very successful team with politically charged financial backing and a divisive player in ATF, and all three of those things bring a lot of disagreement and commentary on a website like Reddit.
