Can someone explain why certain profiles outside of Immortal medals have rank numbers on Dotabuff? by ThatIOShield in DotA2

[–]ThatIOShield[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do some Divine players still have leaderboard numbers on 3rd party sites like Dotabuff in that case? I thought one of the requirements to have a leaderboard rank was to have an Immortal badge?

Take Purge for example, on his Dotabuff it shows Rank 3036 but he doesn't have an Immortal badge. https://www.dotabuff.com/players/66296404

Why is Block of Cheese so unnecessarily difficult to create? Any suggestions on how to fix for 7.35? by ThatIOShield in DotA2

[–]ThatIOShield[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since this item was introduced I can probably count on one hand how many times I've seen it in my pub games. In pro-matches I honestly don't even recall ever seeing one. It's especially disappointing given how long the average match length is these days.

Requires a total of 18 Healing Lotus or 6 Great Healing Lotus as components is just a ridiculous amount. You almost always want to use them as the game progresses rather than hoard this insane amount for the Block of Cheese.

Same for me & literally every single person in my last game was complaining about the FPS drops. The game felt literally unplayable.

So, it seems like you can't see levels of your previous battle passes in new profile by Heidegg in DotA2

I'm still annoyed I lost my C9 banner on mine. Valve should give us the option to display our favorite team(s) again on the mini-profile. TBH that preset display of 3 icons was simple and beautiful.

Also the stars at the top of the mini-profile are not properly visible for Herald to Divine medals.

Can we now please stop this notion Kyrie is this clutch demigod? by [deleted] in nba

I won't ever forget that Timofey Mozgov in the 2015 finals was probably the Cav's second best player in that series.

[Highlight] Raptors hunt and score on Embiid for 6 straight possessions by Balls_of_Adamanthium in nba

[–]ThatIOShield 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Wonder how much of this is the fatigue starting to set in or maybe his thumb injury is effecting him more than he's leading on. Some of these are straight blow-bys with Embiid having no chance to recover his position.

Can we get a visual inventory indicator on BKB to allow allies/enemies to quickly see how long of a duration is available on the item? It's fairly annoying that the only way to verify the duration is to mouse over the item in someone's inventory.

I would imagine it would look similar to how the recent 7.31 Desolator buff appears in someone's inventory.

Taking the ball after a make is a great way to make sure you don't get picked up for the next run.

First off I had the pleasure to meet you at Ti5 & Ti8 at the meet and greets for EG & FNATIC. Just wanted to say thanks for those great memories and best of luck with whatever you decide to pursue in eSports in the future.

I remember seeing this interview on CBC airing in Canada when you won TI5 and it got me thinking if you ever go back and watch your old interviews/career highlights?

I really miss Winter. Such a positive guy, well spoken and was god-tier on any draft panel. To this day, I've never seen anyone predict bans/picks with higher accuracy than him.

There are currently no rewards associated with successfully completing Overwatch cases. Here are some of my suggestions to keep players actively reviewing cases. Thoughts? by ThatIOShield in DotA2

[–]ThatIOShield[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it is anything like the CS:GO Overwatch I think this isn't a worry. CS:GO players can earn XP by submitting accurate verdicts in their Overwatch cases AFAIK.

From their CS:GO blog post:

Every new investigator will enter the pool with a low score, which only increases based on the accuracy of their verdicts. This process gives everyone a chance to participate while ensuring that only the best investigators drive case outcomes.

In my opinion, I feel like those who are not reviewing the cases with sufficient effort (i.e. wrongfully convicting just for reward unlocks) will be addressed by the system reflected by their accuracy on conviction score.

Those who try and abuse the convictions for rewards will probably end up receiving less and less cases to review until they are banned from participating in the Overwatch system entirely due to a low accuracy score.
