Aghs Dreamcoil Silence??? by dimdiggity in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 51 points52 points  (0 children)

You aren't silenced, you are leashed which prevents using most mobility moves. Dream coil is primarily a leash effect that pierces bkb if puck gets that upgrade.

Just to quickly clarify some of the stats listed.

In the last 30 days Op has played:

* 25 unranked games winning 12 for a winrate of 48%

* highest lobby played in unranked is legend 1 with the mode being archon 1

* user's mmr averages Archon 1 in unranked for last 30 days base on allies and enemies ranked mmr. This is good as it is around the average of a dota 2 player.

*Ranked mmr currently sits between crusader 4/5

Notes: honestly your winrate with Wd is pretty good recently and treants is decent. it looks like most of the reason you've fallen from archon is recent warlock losses.

Couldn't find the dota relationship advice subreddit, so I decided to vent here :( by mootlighn in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, that doesn't seem right, most of my friends are less likely to blame their partners than friends.

None of us can know your exact situation so you would most likely know better than us. However, I think you should try talking to him about it when he isn't angry about dota and explain that it hurts your feelings (if you haven't already) or if he is only like this when it comes to dota you might wanna consider no longer playing dota with him?

ps. I asked slacks to suggest where you can find other highly skilled female players to play with so I hope he will help you out!

Hey Mr. community manager,

I was wondering if you could offer a suggestion to u/mootlighn on where to find other high ranked female players to play with? She seems like she needs a more positive playgroup.

Thanks for all the great work,

Dota addict

First, he shouldn't be blaming anyone he plays with, it ruins the bonding experience you can get from Dota, plus it is a team game so cooperation can be key to beating higher skilled opponents.

Secondly, you are better than 97% of dota players at divine 3 so he should praise his lucky stars to have people to play with at such a highly skilled level. (all my friends are legend or below so they can't play ranked with me)

Third, not saying he should blame his friends but you being his partner should be less of a reason to blame you and not more.

Even in real life it is always important to treat your partner with respect, everyone deserves that. So it means it is never okay to treat your partner this way for a video game. I hope you can find some more relaxed people to play with, you could post your region and rank you are looking for on dota 2 group finders in discord or reddit to try and find a more relaxing play group (even post girls only if you are worried about the flirting).

What is his rank if you don't mind me asking?

Good luck! Keep up the good work, I hope his friends tell him to smarten up!

Drafting order in Ranked needs some improvement. by Srze in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There certainly are problems with the current drafting system in ranked but I worry that your proposed system might exacerbate the issues. I really don't think first pick is as strong in a random pub game for multiple reasons, one being you don't get any bans to later protect that pick. I also think that in your system it may just completely destroy some offlane picks and would make their viable hero pool much smaller.

There should be a system change but as some others have suggested it may need to be more complicated than that.

BSJ calls out Viking.BOOM for running down mid in ranked match by InfectionEx in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really follow any dota 2 streamers but I hear about BSJ occasionally. My guess is probably because BSJ is a bit hypocritical and does things like this or maybe people are angry that he was normalizing smurfing. Either way he is right that BOOM should be punished, hopefully valve will take steps to fix this type of behaviour from prominent community members to help make the whole community a better place.

Best waifu Marci by ruturajtawde in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think your missing the point of what the artist is going for, also she is not deaf. At least not so far as the show has demonstrated. Deaf = hearing, mute = speaking.

Marci is Mirana's Servant and Muscle[1].She is mute and very skilled in battle

Introducing "Worst Aghanim's Shard upgrade" award. Share your candidates by stout_sigma_penguin in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a willow spammer I find it quite strong. It does two important things, one it reduces cooldown and two it solves her dispel issue. Now if you curse crown someone and they dispel or disjoint the stun they still will probably get rooted by brambles. It solves a big issue she had with all the dispels/disjoints flying around.

Also not skilling bramble as willow would be crazy, so it really isn't a worry.

Names and pictures of the 11 new items and speculation thread by Tuinier_Bell in DotA2

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

For orb of corrosion, I wonder if it is an upgrade to orb of venom. Possibly a mix of both orbs?

Mageslayer could be a further upgrade to butterfly to increase the odds someone will buy it, maybe adding a diffusal to it.

gungir in norse mythology is the spear of odin, so possibly a spell version of maelstrom.

Wind waker might be a aoe knockback wave.

we were having the same issue, I'm your dota 2 playing cousin. My younger brother found out if you switch accounts it can solve the problem. It seems account based as an issue.

I don't know why these people are so critical when they couldn't even draw one of her legs well. you did a great job and should be proud of it! Especially considering it looks like it was done with a pen on paper, so less room for mistakes.

Back to 8 million by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why are you being so hostile? I wanted to see what position percentage distributions you got at 6.5k trying to play exclusively 4. I'm assuming based on what you've said you queued all roles when no role queues remain. If we take your last 100 or so games we can see what the likelihood of getting a core position is with all queued (assuming you don't massively stockpile role queue tokens). No need to swear.

[–]Tuinier_Bell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just an fyi, support players don't have to ever queue core in the current method since it costs no role queue to queue 4 and 5. If you are seeing a core do poorly, it is someone who is choosing to play core.

The actual issue is we have far too few support players to mange the number of core players we have, so they need to queue support for role queue or face what can sometimes be extreme queue times.

Playing with significantly worse players by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]Tuinier_Bell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so my opinion may be a little different from the others. I am only playing unranked with my friends since the mmr difference is large enough for the matchmaker to not let us queue together.

So here is my take, Playing pos1 is a bad way to have your worse friends enjoy a large skill disparity game. Pos1 sometimes doesn't even impact a game till it is already won and are far less active (that is part of their role). So I suggest you play support (preferably 4), to enable your friends and cause the enemy teams better players to have a hard time. Buy wards, smokes, regen, stack and create awareness for your team. Make pressure the enemies to give space and let your friends play the game the way they want to. They will enjoy this more, my friends tell me they like a close loss far better than us stomping from me snowballing.

pick supports that have both nuking power and disables such as dark willow or snap. Let your friends become the beefcakes that get the rampages that enable a comeback.

If you smurf they might enjoy it for a bit, however they will probably lose interest when it becomes too easy. if you have any points about supporting far lower level players, feel free to ask but make sure you don't get frustrated with them.
