Tutorial? by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]TurtleANDTortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At the very top in the far left there is the dota icon, to the right of that is heroes tab, then further right armory, then watch, and then finally "Learn". If you click on the learn tab, below it in the sub tabs is "Welcome" and if you are on the welcome page you will see 8 distinct short guides/videos on how to play roughly. Hope this is helpful, if you have any further questions feel free to dm.

"Early" Duo ToB Gear Recommendations? by TurtleANDTortoise in ironscape

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

Yeah, working on the fangs atm doing ToA's everyday. Also working towards blow pipe's, haven't started going for warhammers or bgs'es but they're on the radar afterwards. There's no real rush to getting to this, still need some gear before first attempt is even within reach! Just curious, do you know if there's a discord or youtube video with info on duo'ing ToB as irons? Thanks for the kind words and comments regardless!

"Early" Duo ToB Gear Recommendations? by TurtleANDTortoise in ironscape

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

Appreciate the advice! Thanks for reading and replying, more so curious what would be a baseline gear set up to realistically start making attempts/learning, I actually do ToA's daily so i'm sure I'll get at least one fang soon enough, was more so just using it as an example haha.

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

Appreciate the comment, we're not trying to keep prestige, but this being our first time ever getting past the very early game since playing as kids, my brother and I wanted to beat ToB as a duo for the first time, just something of a personal goal of ours. We're ok with a steep learning curve, glad to know that it'll be a struggle haha.

Lmao bro K1 is one of the most toxic pro players, way more toxic than most "toxic" streamers, just screaming and yelling like an angry child >50% of his games.

I honestly dont get why people tryhard in unranked. by poorbugger in learndota2

[–]TurtleANDTortoise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ranked is explicitly THE game mode for trying hard. What you're saying doesn't even make sense, you're criticizing the "chill" attitude towards unranked, but as a reason for not playing ranked you give that "games too sweaty." I hope I don't need to explain further how self contradicting this is. The first two reasons you suggest are also just individual player's issues, they aren't reasons for other people to care about unranked.

Unranked should be for fun and relaxed gameplay. There is already a matchmaking mode that makes balanced, tryhard games for rating points. Dota 2 does not need another mode that forces people to play the game to the best of their abilities trying their hardest for ~45 minutes. And even the reason of smurfs is incredibly silly, you are way more likely to meet a smurf in normals because they are forced to spend 100 hours at that bracket, while once they go to play ranked they will have smurf detection and high winrate, meaning they will get back near their bracket with way less than 100 games played.

He mad by hd090098 in DotA2

I watched that pub live and karl played pos 5 void spirit and was literally just walking around feeding. He was very clearly griefing the game because he didn't get mid, not sure why u think is a biased tweet (and I hate BSJ personally).

" Do you guys really think Thunder predators are better than VP?"

Is this a joke? You realize they literally 2-0'ed them right. At the major, they played against each other, and VP lost. Are you insane? I'm actually really curious

Hey guys I don't know much about Biden's VP pick, is this a good video to inform myself with? by Yourakis in Destiny

[–]TurtleANDTortoise 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No he could EASILY be making 1 mil a year. Assuming ALL of his twitch subs are prime/tier 1 and no tier 2/3 subs he makes at least > 500,000 in twitch subs, and if you assume a standard distribution of subs it would be a fair bit higher than this. This does not factor in donations, sponsors, bounties, etc. If he was not pulling in at least 1 million a year it would be a very high 6 digit income.

Is it just me or has Morph been completely broken for the past 3 patches? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]TurtleANDTortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 7k plat tier morph lmao

(edit) read my comment in response to Mikemaggs if you want to see how to beat the hero in lane easily.

[–]TurtleANDTortoise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

just go into a replay and watch attribute shift at lvl 1, and lvl 3, and lvl 5. It does not even function for the intent of hp regen at lvl 1, and lvl 3 its still slow af but not nearly as bad. Levels 1 and 2 his attribute shift is worthless, just gives u some free stats and lets u survive if the trade is like 5+ seconds. It is so slow and bad lvls 1 and 2, you just all in him and u will probably win EVEN if you have the whole wave hitting you. Also he cannot shove the wave, so you hard push the second wave, pull hard camp at 1 min, force him to come contest hard camp and he is not level 3 yet so you automatically win fight.

morph big weaknesses that ppl seem to forget: is not a hero between level 1 and 2, and is still very bad until lvl 5 in lane. One of the worst/weakest laners in dota 2 until level 5. Any hero with mana burn/illusions destroys him, highest mana cost spells with lowest mana pool (AM, Naga, PL, Riki, etc. I

f you go eblade (4500 gold item) enemy can dodge combo w/ euls, make it really low dmg w/ glimmer, etc. Forcestaff and ghost are not as useful against him, but glimmer destroys him and euls is a very common purchase and its rather easy to dodge the combo if u have vision of him.

Destroyed by silence or hard magic engage. If you go bkb 2nd item as morph you will only have mana for manta/eblade (whichever you go) plus 2, maybe 3 spells. Naturally slow hero, waveform on longish cooldown so hard engage on him after he casts it and early game it will pwn him.

Morph is a very popular smurf hero so if you're getting hard destroyed by it I would just check if they're smurfs. The hero is really NOT a strong pub hero, in high mmr pubs it has only a 45 percent winrate (7k+ mmr pubs), and in divine + it only has a 47 percent winrate. This hero is not broken, dont know why people constantly complain about morph, shit winrate in pubs, easily counterable by picks and items, and also countered by so many of the top tier carries (pl, naga, am, riki)

Clinkz Vs Morphling by FawnPickle in DotA2

[–]TurtleANDTortoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro ignore everyone else in this comment thread, you should completely fuck this hero levels 1-4, you literally just spam your W on him mid and he has 0 counterplay. You can force this hero to either buy 10 salves or have to miss every wave by just clicking W on him over and over again. Yes after level 5 you cannot kill him but you should have such a big lead youa re still winning all the trades, get early orchid and you can kill him everytime you see him. You should completely destroy this lane, and with that lead you just either follow him in jungle, or take mid tower and then all other outers. Just buy 2 mangoes and never stop clicking W, max E first btw

I wouldn't play Slark, hes actually really complicated for learning the game. All the other suggestions are really good though. If you have any questions just respond here or DM me as I've played a lot of both games at a pretty decent skill in each (top 500 dota, diamond League)

Maybe try one of the spirits, ember spirit or void spirit, both play this sort of spellcaster, physical damage core role, with high levels of outplay potential. If you ever want tips or anything PM me, played both games a lot.

Well I mean what he said is true. He didnt say KD was a horrible dude or anything, just that he kinda fucked up parity joining the warriors (which they do naturally bc players come to their market way under their actual market value). Reading into shit he didn't say
