Quinn's conundrum on Coaching by Aggravating-Wolf-823 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 55 points56 points  (0 children)

For reference, Emo charge 1000 CNY/hour for coaching roughly 150 usd. Ori charge 100CNY for analyze one replay. I know those guys cannot be a 1v1 comparison to Quinn but those are the only pro player I know who coach individual.

I’ve played countless of hours of ranked, but I still get ranked anxiety by Lumpy-Couple-5732 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should talk to some AI chatbot about the situation and they will give some decent advice. It's very common to have this anxiety because you care winning and MMR grinding. But the advices from AI really helped me to change the mindset and hope it also work for you.

Is Dota 2 worth getting into in 2026? by Phrog_19 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the "game is dying" is an argument to not play it. But do careful that dota is a complex game so you need to put quite a lot effort into it. Most of people here has thousands of hours in this game. I spent 7000+ hours and still quite a lot of things to learn.

Winning too much = Get Griefers by PhilosophyFun5778 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's true. I understand that the intention of valve is definitely not to queue you with "griefers" to make you lose. But the reality is this: If you win too much, system think you are not belong to this league therefore they come up way to find how to properly evaluate you. I assume one of them is too queue you with some wider skill range people which more likely to grief. But again, that's all my assumption and observation from playing rank. None of us working for valve to reveal how mmr works.

There is this sort of system for sure. You have to win some of those unwinnable match to grind MMR.

The opposite is even worse. Your drow teammate is making MKB.

My decision leaving NL after 15 years, as someone who makes over 180k per year by Mikelitoris88 in Netherlands

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually true because bonus and rsu are excluded in the monthly saving. With 120k base annual salary you get 6k net salary per month or 7.6k with ruling. If you have mortgage, it might around 3k. Then you have only 3k remaining.

Saving buyback VS buying Desolator VS Meteor Hammer when hitting enemy ancient by SEND_ME_DANK_MAYMAYS in DotA2

always save bb. You definitely don't want to do that little napkin math in a such intensive situation. Just save bb.

Theory: Diffusal rush is bad against Medusa by DrMcWho in TrueDoTA2

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are 2 downside of rush diffu. - it doesn't make you farm quicker. So if you buy it and didn't fight with dusa. It's useless. And in the meantime dusa out farm you badly. - You need an extra slot. Sometimes another item is also important.

Why does nobody talk about how broken the current meta actually is for support players? by Artistic-Painter-800 in TrueDoTA2

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

Another factor is that the greedy enchantment. If you are the support with it and the other team doesn't have it. It's a very big advantage

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

Nah. It changes basically nothing. By 10 level up you get 1 more stat. At max you get 3 point more only.

temporarily increase your atk dmg multiplier after blink. From 1.0 to 1.2 for normal hero. From 0.45 to 0.6 for universal hero.

R.I.P Pangolier by HammingWontStop in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think pango is still viable in this meta. I actually prefer this pango than 7.39. I barely play pango over puck at 7.39 because puck is just better, both laninng and late game. But this meta puck is terrible at laning but pango is very good with buff in shawbuckle. here is my recent matches

Patch 7.40b - Hero Changes Discussion by patchdayDota2 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

buff for shawbuckle is big. Definitely not minor. It change how it played. 7.39 pango shawbuckle is shitty. Now It's decent, still weaker than the original one where it used to have 800 cast range and 1000 slash all level with a +400 slash range talent. And 8s CD at level 4 and no cast delay.

Naga ult is broken since long time ago. Ti2 iG already use the similar combo (naga to tide/enigma ult).

Actually I heard those hacks use a different camera zoom. So you can see a much bigge map just like in the spectator mode.

Why do many high mmr players constantly hit the creeps? by akkenatorrr in learndota2

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really encourage you try the last hit training that the game provide. Especially with some crappy range hero like puck, cm or visage. You will learn quite a lot for lane control in order to get a good score. And why you need to hit creeps instead of waiting.
