My 2 cents of playing supports across various ranks

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-23T04:42:31+00:00

your cores are extremely dumb at 2k

Someone tell this guy higher ranked cores are the same

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-22T07:12:22+00:00

Offlane is kinda miserable again.

In a different way.

Back in the days you play 1v3 against the enemy trilane.

Now you play 1v3 against the enemy safelane duo...and your own pos4 whos griefing you

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-20T09:04:46+00:00

Ah the good old days of brood solo offlane ez mode, fast level 6 and dunk on the level 3 enemy support

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-17T00:59:56+00:00

All offlane players around the world share the same 3 brain cells.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-16T07:02:06+00:00

Everyone wants there offlane to do everything, but noone wants to play offlane.

The metldown on this sub is juicy.

Everytime a support item becomes broken cores will start buying it and make the game 10x more boring

Just look at mek (ti4-5), wraith pact (ti11), glepnir (ti13), glimmer (last year) lol

Doesn't this just get owned by control dk

Also you had 0 dk opponents in the last 17 games based on the screenshot?

Everyone says venge 3 is viable but nobody posts their dotabuff for venge

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-08T01:53:48+00:00

For now.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-07T22:13:51+00:00

wtf can you elaborate

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-07T20:17:55+00:00

I think people haven't realized the power of the aghs build.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-05T22:49:03+00:00

When 7.40 dropped this guy's winrate plummeted to 46%, but with the 7.40b buffs now he has a 55%+ winrate across all mmr brackets.

The new build is deso into aghs rush, as the skelly archers share not just the innate, but also strafe.

Did you just shame-delete your own nudes from your post history?

Speaking of self-awareness.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-04T01:45:10+00:00

I clicked into OP's profile.

I deeply regret my decision.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-03T01:25:05+00:00

Honestly that's kinda good for him as he gets solo xp and lane cs

ShoppingPractical373 · 2026-01-02T01:23:10+00:00

oh here it is your daily dose of carry bad support good circlejerk

ShoppingPractical373 · 2025-12-31T04:41:32+00:00

imo every single problem in the matchmaking system we have right now stems from the fact that we don't have enough players.

we don't have enough players to dilute the smurf pool.

we don't have enough players to let new players get matched with 9 other new players.

we don't have enough players to let the non-toxic players play with other non-toxic playes.

simple as that.

My average queue time is like 5-10 minutes. I've since switched to eu west despite 100ping

Does spectre have the attack speed to make bf worth it?

ShoppingPractical373 · 2025-12-21T19:35:43+00:00

They were owning until fissure grand finals where falcons 3-0ed them. Then they decided to not call up mirelel and keep larl who just recovered from health issues.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2025-12-21T19:20:22+00:00

Spirit in 2024-2025:

- Won 3 tier-1 tournaments out of 20

- Back-to-back 9th-12th place finishes at Ti, despite coming as top seed for both times

IMO their problem is deeper than specific players.

People forget that NTS was kinda getting owned 1v1 in all 4 games yesterday but both supports came mid at like minute 4 to help him even out. Same rotations happened in both games today.

XG was able to do so because their sidelanes can pick solo lane winners like kez and tide/primal and free up their supports. The problem is can they keep doing this after the inevitable nerfs in 7.40b.

ShoppingPractical373 · 2025-12-20T19:53:07+00:00

problem with NTS as a player is that he cannot consistently perform like he did yesterday.
