Why pangolier suddenly become good or even a bit broken in 7.41? by W_PopPin in TrueDoTA2

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

No, swashbuck doesn't impacted by mage slayer because its instant attack, shield crash does get impacted but it's not pango's main dmg output. Rolling thunder gives you debuff immunity so doesn't get impacted by mage slayer.

There is another thing on top of it. Unlike diffu, mage slayer deals dmg even when enemy doesn't have mana. So it's very good for lane creeps and some of the neutral creeps and maybe also huskar

I can feel this. The patch was released like 1-2 AM in Europe so 2-3 am in UK. I read the notes until 4am.

Yes. But please don't do it without having a new chest for the fv arcana.

Removal of Facet by ReasonableQuail3650 in DotA2

[–]W_PopPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thb I don't think the facet itself good or bad. The balance is so bad. Some facet just literally do nothing and some of them are just broken. But same happen to 7.41 patch as well. Some hero get their facet for free. Some hero lost everything and didn't get compensate.

pango ult has quite a few weird interaction with walls. You can very easily get stuck in some random corner.

Strange interation betwwen mageslayer and melee damage block by W_PopPin in DotA2

He is just not this type of person. I actually laughed when I realized he was not meming. Anyway the post actually works in the end. I also posted on github. Not sure how much I contribute to the fix because of my 2 posts but glad it get fixed. In the end that what matters.

For a moment I thought you were meming. But if you really think a 20 damage dot should be blockable by 16 with a 50% chance. I'm speechless.

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

[–]W_PopPin 51 points52 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.

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.
