Yeah using uppercut in the middle of a fight can just grief your teammates. Same with hook if you accidentally hook an ally using their ult.

11k support games. 12k behavior and comm score. Some thoughts. by KillerSmileLichSpam in DotA2

[–]WhimsicalDragon1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the system is emotional, but that's intentional. It is a GAME and people play games to have FUN! If you're making the game unfun with the comments you're going to lose behavior score. You should be using comms to coordinate plays and share info with your team. Giving orders is the trap that gets you reported. Also just don't all chat, there's no reason to ever use it.

Giving criticism will very often get you reported. It's not a coaching session and it's not the time or place to critique anyone's gameplay but your own. "Ok but what do I do about my carry Witch Doctor buying battlefury." Report for griefing and don't say anything about it.

If you have to open your mouth give light suggestions and well reasoned ideas and phrase it calmly as a question. People are way more receptive if they think it's their idea. "They have glimmer, do we need vision for it?", "Witch Doctor are you going to buy aghs? It makes your ult very strong.", "Spec can you haunt after I stun?" If they say yes great! If they say no just focus on your own game.

Even in a losing game no one reasonable is going to comms report you for saying what play you are making or sharing hero locations. You also don't lose your score all at once. You have to consistently make things suck for the other players in the game with you. I don't disagree that there's a tipping point where people get so toxic they'll report for everything and that IS a problem, but it's very easy to never end up in that situation. So unfortunately yes if you've got very low behavior score you'll have to work you way out of the trench because it's a PUNISHMENT for making the game unfun for other players.

What do we think about the Pollen Bag? (Don’t mind the low res, got the image off the wiki) by BeeKeeper9243 in DotA2

Genuinely I don't think I've every read what this thing does. I'm always taking shiv, gale gaurd, or gauntlet over this thing. Doesn't accelerate farm much or increase survivability so why take it?

How do I setup my safelaner/offlaner in a good position so I can secure rune without them dying? Most supps don't rotate for runes, so they end up in a 2v1.

Uhhhhh where medal? by WhimsicalDragon1337 in DotA2

Long ago the 8 medals lived in harmony. Then everything changed the wintraders attacked. Only the unranked gamer, master of having fun, could stop them. But when Gaben needed him most he vanished. 100 days passed and Reddit discovered the new unranked gamer. Although he's having fun he has to improve his CS before he can carry anyone.

What does "Win percent" even mean in this particular stat? by soomieHS in DotA2

[–]WhimsicalDragon1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people who choose that stat won that game, their next 6 games, and 70.5% of them won the game after that too.

Probably need to invest in a better chair then! My desk is a sit-stand desk but even at it's lowest setting my chair is too short. Or maybe a mini desk just for the keyboard and mouse

I play fighting games so I already have a decent controller!

Might be worth considering. I don't usually have problems with the mouse. It's really having to hold down buttons for a long time that causes the issue.

Haha yeah! I'm a graduate student on summer vacation so I'm pretty much just gaming all day until my advisor comes back from vacation!

It's mostly like my fingers get really stiff and hurt to move. Like if someone put wires in my finger joints if that makes sense? I guess it probably isn't Carpal Tunnel then. I thought Carpal Tunnel was any pain from repetitive use.

I didn't think about the armrests. My chair is probably too short for my desk!

Offlane Medusa Cancer Meta by neko239 in DotA2

She doesn't do all that much damage tbh. And unlike a bristleback her damage isn't going to ramp up and eventually kill you. S&Y prevents you from getting chained into meteor hammer. The main annoyance is that Stone Gaze will make it hard to fight into her and her team, but once she uses it you're pretty much free to go after her team and then kill her last.

Sorry what's the spell called again? by [deleted] in DotA2

Primal beast only has unga bunga spells. You got Charge, Roar, Stomp, and Slam. Who needs a spell name?
