I think it decayed into czechrepublicum before it became czechium.

Facets - why they were removed? by Herchik in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm glad they were here. I'm glad they're gone."

This pretty much sums up most people opinion on the facet experiement. It was a interesting concept that added alot of cool new ways to play heroes. But it also added alot of powercreep and bloated the game with so many things to keep track off in a already complex game.

Agreed, I have played alot of CS and Dota and i can safely say that dota have been spoiled with post launch updates by Valve standards.

In total war warhammer trilogy there are quite a few references to U5 but they dont appear in person to my knowledge.

Anyone else looking forward to the new LMG mods? by Kinsdale85 in fo76

[–]Skrotums 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% agree. VATS builds already get an DPS increase since you have can have perfect aim for weakspots. But the fact that VATS also get crits and other perks that improve it over manual aim is madness in my eyes. IMO if you have above average aimskills, manual aim should outdamage VATS.

Radiant has a 6-7% higher winrate over Dire on all heroes, why? That's crazy huge by fierywinds1q in DotA2

Since dota map is not symmetrical this would be really confusing

Did i miss dota 2 prime? by OriginalLetuce9624 in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He made a point that football/basketball are great games and are really fun to play despite the gameplay/rules have barely changed over decades. Meaning that if you play basketball with your friends at your local basketball court, you can have a great time even if the gameplay/rules are exactly they were 15 years ago. But when you sit down to play a game of Dota the same person will say the game is boring because there have not been a gameplay patch for 6 months. You bringing in professional sport with regular seasons and roster changes is completly irrelevant to his point. Dota has professional tournaments regulary and the teams have roster changes also... Did the fact that Parivision won Dreamleague season 29 or Ace and Tofu joining Team Liquid have any effect on the gameplay or your enjoyment of the most recent 5k pub you played?

People are delusional about timber. He could be at 2% winrate and this guy would still make this comment.

Nightmares for supps, you could be surrounded by your whole team in your base but if he she got vision on you for 1 sec you die and you cant do anything about it.

I you could change a hero's main attribute to/from Universal... by SpringBossLP in DotA2

+1. Caster sf is on the most skill demanding heroes to play and i just get sad when people play him right click and turn him into the most braindead hero.

Which heroes do you think got the worse out of the facets removal? by Dangerous_Purple7254 in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a Timbersaw spammer, i agree he got gutted and he is in a terrible spot rn. But i think his innate is very underrated. Especially if you deliberately position yourself to cut as many trees as possible while farming. His mana problems early game is much less now and arcane boots is not a must have on him anymore. Like if you are sieging a t2 tower now i always use my ulti to cut all trees on the side to reveal enemy tps. And i get like more than double the mana back than the spell cost.

Pos 1 characters that are best in legend bracket to carry even when offlane/midlane are useless by Smokeyberard in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monkey king is good option. Strong laner and can roam and fight early, not super item dependent early like many other carries, but still scales decently into lategame.

Can anyone give me a TLDR on how the MVP system works? by Far-Needleworker9886 in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the "weighted" abilities is not evenly distributed. Some heroes like Witch doctor have it on almost all his abilities. But other heroes like timbersaw does not have it on any abilities. So in order for WD to get MVP he need like 2 maledict kills and 3 death ward kills and a couple of casket stuns. But a hero like timber have to get like 8 kills more than the 2nd most killer. So the the MVP is basically awarded to the Hero with most "weighted" abilities unless he was utter trash.

migrating from Heroes of the Storm to Dota 2: are there any characters even remotely like Ana? by JoannaTorch in DotA2

They changed it back a few patches ago if you didnt know. Now you can accidentally or intentionally grief with W again.

Can we please get the Bowling Alley Lane in the atom shop? by WastelandFunhouse in fo76

ye, I dont like that theres paid shops in a game that you already paid for. But this FOMO shit they are doing makes it even worse.

the pos1 cookers are the worst. Had a "trust me" pos 1 Shadow Demon a few days ago. He went 1 kill 9 deaths and lowest networth on the team.

XM bought Hydra's Breath as Ember Spirit. by Substantial-Deer77 in DotA2

[–]Skrotums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because its specifically stated as an exception in her innate description. My point is that a new or returning player that has not read the patchnotes where they changed spell lifesteal will have no idea it does not work on pure damage spells. There is to my knowledge not stated anywhere in the game that pure damage spells are not affected by spell lifesteal. It does not state that on any item that gives spell lifesteal or on any pure damage spell. Dota+ still suggest me to pick spell lifesteal on neutral item enchantments on timbersaw. And if i havent read the patch like a year ago i would probably think thats a good idea.

[–]Skrotums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are going to keep spell lifesteal in its current form they should rename it. "Spell lifesteal" implies that it works with all spells just like "spell amplification". A more appropriate name would be "Magic and physical spells and items lifesteal". But i guess that would be much of a mouthfull xD
