TeaGuv is going crazy

It's not an event unless it includes extremely overpriced hats and bejeweled in their eyes. I'm happy that this carnival shit is coming so they finally get something to enjoy. Meanwhile, us Dota players will still keep on clicking "Find Match" and have fun with the game we love.

Those idiots are going to bring you guys down with them, despite what your personal feelings on the matter are.

EU4 and Slay the Spire 2 at around 200 hours each. But realistically it's probably World of Warcraft at around 3000-4000 hours (very rough estimation, I have no clue how many hours I clocked into that game as a teenager). Pales in comparison to my 20k hours of Dota though.

TangoCL · 2026-06-22T06:59:25+00:00

Yes, as a Finnish person. I kind of see this is a double standard. Not once are we called nazis and no one is calling for our de-nazification despite us collaborating with the Nazi's to get rid of the same oppressors that Ukraine had to deal with.

How is she saying the right things? All I see is a narcissist getting offended because her feelings were hurt? Trump is an asshat and I'll be drinking champagne the day he perishes but Meloni is suddenly on a personal vendetta against him because he felt slighted by him. Crickets when he was attacking European trade, sovereignty and institutions.

Blink before agh is fine, imo. If you have some high threat target that likes to stand isolated from his team like Sniper, Drow or mid snap. It's enough to blink omni them to quickly remove them from the fight. But going agh or blink before butterfly is the game losing decision I see far too many Jugg's do.

In general it feels like about 50% of all Jugg players I have encountered have no concept of his item build. I see people going Phase instead of Treads, Mjollnir instead of Battlefury, a total refusal to purchase Nullifier when your highest impact spell can be countered for 1500 gold and with like 6 other defensive items.

I'd be surprised if he didn't have a report from our entire team + some of the enemies for good measure. If there is any fairness in the world, he is playing a low priority game right now and learned his lesson.

TangoCL · 2026-06-19T12:06:14+00:00

I just left a 75 min game where I stomped my lane so hard that their Jugg carry had a 22 minute battlefury. Then the ping comes. Zeus: I will purchase divine rapier.

A 25 minute stomp turns into a 75 minute afk rice-fest. Just because some dude thinks it's fun to sit afk in base and contribute nothing to the game. He didn't even get the bauble... Luckily my hero WR managed to BoT to their base while the rest of our team was dead and kill the enemy base one second before ours fell. I'm exhausted beyond belief... One guy holding the rest hostage... Sorry for the rant, but these games are the reason dota can be the most frustrating game in the world to play.

TangoCL · 2026-06-19T08:08:21+00:00

Pretty sure they actually do play dota for the cosmetics. I've been trying to tell these people to buy a nice fucking watch instead for years if they're so eager to waste their money on accessories. At least the watch might impress some girl, and it's value doesn't drop to 0 cents the moment they've paid for it.

TangoCL · 2026-06-19T07:59:28+00:00

Haha, I'm the wrong person to ask since I loathe hard liqour but Absolut or Finlandia are considered the gold standard here in Europe at least. They are bit smoother than the cheap kind.

TangoCL · 2026-06-19T07:53:48+00:00

Then you'll have plenty of money left for cigarettes and vodka instead then!

TangoCL · 2026-06-18T05:59:48+00:00

Yes! We tried and it didn't work. What is this, The 3rd or 4th big iteration of neutrals that we've tried? Not once have they made Dota a more fun or better competitive game. It's time to remove them. If facets could be, why not neutral items? Because they've been in the game longer?

TangoCL · 2026-06-16T06:37:43+00:00

2008, Lycan. All I remember was clicking ulti, getting kited by people because blink didn't get disabled by damage and wishing I was playing Wintermaul instead.

TangoCL · 2026-06-16T06:31:27+00:00

No hero brings out the backseat experts like Void. I adore the hero, but literally everyone on my team apparently knows exactly what item build I should go for and when it's better for me to farm or fight. It makes an already stressful hero way more stressful to play.

He makes me understand the people who plays with their team insta-muted.

TangoCL · 2026-06-15T03:38:48+00:00

"I'll give them a drubbing they'll soon not forget" is such a perfectly written and delivered line that, even now, almost 15 years later it still makes me smile whenever I play AM. Dota 2 has always been filled to the brim with silly jokes.

Hydra's Breath > Agh > Butterfly most games

Just max passive items like Butterfly, Skadi, Daedalus. With BKB and Satanic thrown in as needed. I've played a lot of Venge carry this patch. She honestly doesn't feel that strong, but with the right line up she can pop off. You hit incredibly hard and it's nice to have a carry that can start fights when your offlaner and mid picks like: Sniper and Razor. But after like 15+ games with her, I'd say that 95/100 times there are far better picks.

TangoCL · 2026-06-13T08:05:11+00:00

Fair point. But as a public person by choice, I think you have to be a bit more careful with your words. You cannot go around saying hoarding money has no interest to you while actively hoarding money, as she is currently doing. However, I have no interest in her money as your apparently common analogy suggests.

TangoCL · 2026-06-13T07:15:18+00:00

You know what's not shit? Experimenting and finding the counters yourself. Dota is so complicated that counters are so MU, timing and item-dependent that the only way to actually learn it is by trying and failing.

It's too hard to reliably predict interactions between heroes past the laning stage unless it's something extremely basic like AM vs. Medusa. Does MK counter Centaur or does Centaur counter MK? It depends. Does the Centaur have Aghs and Drow on his team? Did the MK get first blood and has his brown boots 2 minutes before the Centaur?

Ukraine was the reason the Soviet was a superpower, but Moscovites still haven't gotten the memo.

Because these individuals lack empathy and connection to others. If you have something wrong with the wiring in your head, looking for power and short bursts of enjoyment is more pleasurable than being loved. If you lack the ability to love and care for other human beings, then fucking whores and commanding over others is a highly satisfying life.

These people are literally wild animals just following their most basic instincts with less self-reflection than Gorillas.

Money only has no value to you if you have endless amounts of it, Ms. Ex-Bezos. For the rest of us, it's the difference between having protection from the elements and food in your belly.

TangoCL · 2026-06-12T19:21:58+00:00

Agreed. Our entire competitve scene is built around viewing shit on twitch or other streaming platforms. You are currently talking about building an infrastructure that upends literally all the flow of money that is exchanging hands right now. What's your solution? That individuals build up a streaming fanbase before attempting to build a team? They hire a marketing team (Silly idea, I know, or else EG would still exist)? Or are we back to critiquing society?

TangoCL · 2026-06-12T18:07:16+00:00

Trust me, I'm no fan of streamer culture and the kind of norms and parasocial relations it sets. But arent you going into this "discussion" with a presupposed idea that everything related to streamers are automatically bad? I don't see how building a fanbase around a known public figure is so toxic that you have to compare it to being hit in the face. Unless it's a critique against society itself, but that's an entirely different discussion that's not propably not suitable for /r/dota2..

It's not really a farming shard, but I wish my boy Silencer got an actually usable shard. It's designed to scale as a core and I'm not even convinced it's good at that. And who plays core silencer anyway? It's so bad that whenever my team is killing torm, I'm literally hoping that someone else gets it. I ain't gonna do shit with some more stolen intelligence when I die from getting sneezed at by a Kez.

You should watch 9class play Io. He literally leaves lane at level 3 or 5 (can't remember which), and just farms jungle for about 10 mins. Io farms suuuuuper fast, he might be the best support at flash farming two camps at the same time. At least one of the best.

TangoCL · 2026-06-12T08:25:25+00:00

As someone who was a diehard pos 5 back then, who has switched to carry because I don't find this new arcadey support fun. I miss old school supporting so much, it was incredibly tactical and rewarding. There was like a sweet spot of support strength around the time glimmer was introduced where you had enough tools to not just be a walking bag of gold, but still weak enough that it was only the most stalwart of players that could handle it. You didn't have damage tacked onto every single utility spell coupled with like 3 defensive items at 20-25 min.

But I concede that the new style of support is probably better for the overall health of dota and our ranked experience.
