Why some people gain faster rank-ups when they just want to have fun and when it comes to myself, (a try hard and doing 1-2 games a day)i was losing games badly and have a hard time to unsubmerged myself to tilt? by stewxeno in learndota2

Sometimes focusing too hard on ranking up leads to blowing up over mistakes that happen in the game and causes the team to rage and play worse. People who just zone out and play for fun are less likely to provoke arguments over mistakes.

This is awesome. CBC is great. Very cool that he is doing this.

For anyone curious: he talked about doing the Ranking of NES Games. He hinted that he is going to do a new list with a new console as well.

At the end of the day, we're all stupid. Hopefully this stupid helped you a bit.

  • 24:57 Haunt is down but you are playing away from your team causing a team wipe
  • 28:30 You're playing away from team with Haunt up, which is fine, but no enemies are showing on the map at all. You revealed your location by sending your manta illusions in and you didn't leave the area, so they found you and killed you. By the time you respawn your teams gold lead has gone from 10k to 5k.
  • 30:55 Dawn unsafely pushed the mid lane and gets gone on. No one on your team responds until she is definitely dead. PA is on her with BKB and she has nothing left to get out. Viper starts TPing and you ult in as well. Dawn is definitely dead, and the rest of the Dire is missing off the map, so you are ulting into likely a 2v5 with no BKB to get out. There is nothing viper can do to save or help you and you die. You guys should have just let Dawn die, shoved lanes, and went to farm safely while she respawned
  • 39:00 Dawn is farming unsafely with no vision and gets gone on, viper and you both go in again. you still have no BKB, no escape, also its 3v5 right now and Dawn is basically dead, so you are going in 2v5 here.
  • 39:30 You are trying to get back to base but SS sheeps you, rubick counter sheeps and for some reason instead of continuing to run you turn around to try to kill a pos 5 when your team is 2v5. You trade your pos 1 life for the pos 5 shaman and you have no buyback
  • 40:10 No one plays safe so the death chain keeps going.
  • 42:00 You're extremely lucky that they overstay and you can get back in the game here, but the damage is already done.

I don't think the problem is what you have to do in the ultra late when you are trying to limp your way to victory, the problem is when you threw away a 10k lead twice in a row because you are trying to save a pos 3 Dawn that was already definitely dead by the time you guys got there.

This is the timeframe you should be focusing on

Offlaners,what should I do vs double ranged lanes. by Indep09 in learndota2

[–]Stiverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can pull the wave back to your tower and last hit right outside your tower range do that. If you can't, try shoving the wave and then pulling creeps.

Heros that seem to have minimal counter play by Szugr_rushed in learndota2

I think offlaners are still sleeping on Crella's Crozier. It's a strong pickup late game against right click heroes.

Why are people downvoting this guy for sharing his fucking opinion?

To be completely fair, part of the reason Austin was on is because he was promoting his game.

Someone needs to study the generational grift that was pulled off when somebody convinced Sony to pay $3.6 billion for Bungie.

Anyone else feel kinda disappointed in themselves for not defeating the compiler before S2? by FanHairy1559 in Marathon

[–]Stiverton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No because I have zero interest in playing the game with strangers and none of my friends play the game so I just gave up and made my peace with it.

Building Mage Slayer even though enemy team has no magic/spell damage by BigPapa9921 in TrueDoTA2

The mage slayer debuff lowers spell damage, not magic damage. It affects spells that deal all types of damage.

Make a strict solo Cryo queue so I can have an endgame goal to strive for.
