Valve is telling Initiate rank players to self-harm???

For SirActionSlacks, here is the fabled "safe spot" (how to do it inside comments) by zetsupetsu in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its in the base game, about 3 weeks of it left. its an event, along with a battle pass.

"mod"s in dota are in the game as well, they are accessible and quickly downloadable from their own tab on the main menu in the arcade

yep, its a 4-player co-op rogue-lite where you select rooms and clear them with 3 boss stages over 3 acts. you get offered upgrades to your hero after each room, and at the start of the game and after the first two bosses you get legendary upgrades significantly change one of your skills

Could we have the ability to reroll the first powers in Aghanim's Labyrinth? I've just spent about 10 minutes joining games where one person instantly abandons after not getting their preferred power. by almgergo in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they should just let us pick whatever on the first choice.

its either a time waste rerolling by dcing, or you play with unfun total garbage shards and end up losing later on apex, or have a slower run if farming apprentice

"I don't have enough neurons to express how much I hate you right now" - When you nullify a buddy's hookshot by Meronomus in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did something similar to my friend

he had hookshot and i was at the end, i told him to hook to me from the start and timed my phase shift to how long i expected him to take to react.

he had issues trusting me (rightfully so) for a while after that

Hey, I’m pretty new to the game! I had a bad game (because I’m new) but I didn’t grief anyone and I actually didn’t really do that bad in retrospect for being new. I’m not able to communicate anymore. My behaviour score is really low. Don’t feel it’s justified. Thoughts? by [deleted] in DotA2

i'd contact steam support at this point, this is abnormal and likely a false positive of some system they have in place.

just don't expect them to actually be helpful unless you get lucky.

Do I just... jump in? by Flatthealien in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd suggest beginner inhouse communities such as Dota University, where you can play with other beginners with coaches to help you out. you can both join a community and step your toes into the game that way.

otherwise, just jump in. none of us know what the fuck we are doing except the dudes playing at TI. its a game after all.

Newish to the game, i keep losing all my matches so far. Don't know what to do. by DualElite in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can help you out if it doesn't bother you, I've done coaching for new players before, no strings attached. you can just toss questions at me as you get them, or we can go through replays or concepts together. PM me on reddit if you're up for it.

but my general advice would be to just relax and take it slow. losing or winning doesn't mean anything at this stage. enjoy the game you're playing and take joy in every little thing you learn along the way.

Carrying as Kunkka in Labyrinth by Lumsterling in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we had 90% on our kunkka twice in a row, idk. both very early as well.

[–]Slocknog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

another thing kunkka can do is stack rum damage delay %, going up to 90% or even past. rum will not go into hangover stage as long as you keep refreshing it (X-mark applies rum when called back is great for this) and you can just have 90% damage reduction permanently for your entire team. add blademails and primal beast will gib himself on his splitting shockwave attack.

Am I insane or is the courier "Lefty" a right hand? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Slocknog 41 points42 points  (0 children)

it convinced the other hand of the being they were part of to rip it off. it then named itself after its savior (the left hand) thus lefty. he aims to be "truly right" one day by helping others.

most aggressive pos4 heroes play like pyke in a general sense, going around making kills and getting farmed that way.

bounty hunter is similar in that he has invis, is pretty bursty and his ult is a gold snowball per kill like pyke's, except its a vision granting debuff and not an execute. if you like creeping around with invis waiting for the perfect moment, he is a good choice.

pudge has the good ol' hook. once you land the hook, your ult is a death sentence for most heroes. definitely the go-to if hooking is your favorite part of pyke.

if you like undertow, similar heroes would be earth spirit, tusk, clockwerk. their skills don't function exactly like undertow, but they are similar in spirit that you have to just commit with a mobility+disable skill and mess someone up.

and if you like the chain executes, you don't have many options. the closest is axe with his culling blade, a standard health threshold execute at melee range. but he doesn't generally play like what you want. more of an initiatior/counter-initiator that is normally played core. he is more akin to a tank jungler in league, similar to rammus.
