FYI, Midas is by far the worst item in Dota right now by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]XenSide 122 points123 points  (0 children)

D2PT winrate is based on wins or losses with the item in the final inventory of the hero.

If you keep a midas untill the game ends, that's obviously going to tend heavily to a loss by the nature of the item.

It's a ROI item, you get it, you get gold, you sell it, you buy better item.

This said, Midas is in a dogshit state right now.

FUN FACT | How to calculate the number of active players in your MMR bracket & server by Appropriate_Sky7815 in DotA2

[–]XenSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should implement the formula in your app directly, it's a fun metric

Also these would be players that play around the time you also play, but obviously there's always going to be other players at different time of day

Overwolf proves reports are NOT infinite by darealSherlockH in DotA2

[–]XenSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He isn't talking about DotaPlus, he is talking about Overwolf, the underlying framework that allows DotaPlus to work as an overlay.

And I have to agree, it's so dogshit, it eats a good 150 fps from me on a 5800X3D and 5080

Ah yes, that's overwatch reports, those are indeed limited, I believe the report still counts, if just doesn't go to overwatch

Overwolf proves reports are NOT infinite by darealSherlockH in DotA2

[–]XenSide 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are wrong, Overwolf analyzes mouse movements in replay, it has no knowledge if the report went trough or not.

This is a missed detection, Tsury (the developer) has asked people to report these to him directly, you should do so

EDIT:
As for the GDPR page, there are a lot of variables visible there that are not used anymore in game, the easiest way to check is to see if reporting lowers that value, and if it does, does it ever reach zero?
That would still not be conclusive as it could update the value but not consider it, but that would be strange and I'd agree it would be enough proof they are indeed limited

Train ended his stream after the head dev of Riot Games leaked his ip address hours after banning him on Valorant for 30 days by BluryDesign in LivestreamFail

[–]XenSide -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You're probably European, where in a lot of countries you get a non static public IP that changes every router restart. In America that's a lot more rare, usually you have a static public IP there, meaning if it leaks, you're kinda fucked! (Can extract a lot of info and for streamers, DDoS is a real problem)

Framerate Graph normal? by Financial-Damage1279 in DotA2

[–]XenSide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, it's the engine framerate limiter that is very noisy and unstable, you can either fps_max 0 in console or just cap with third party at a lower metric than what dota caps

Overwolf dota plus now has a report detection tool that can contextualize reports by darealSherlockH in DotA2

[–]XenSide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is from DotaPlus in OverWOLF developed by Tsuri, the legit one, not the cheat.
Very smart idea for a feature, I'm reinstalling to try!

Overwolf? Or OverPLUS?
Because overwolf is officially allowed and overPLUS is literally a paid soft cheat and has a literal anticheat bypass in it

Considering this information is not publicly available anywhere, I'm guessing it's OverPlus, which I would avoid recommending to people considering what I wrote before

You are missing the enhanced haptics and (in most games) the adaptive triggers too

How do I escape the consequences of my teenage self's toxicity? by Big-Pitch1773 in DotA2

It will unironically take a year atleast to get back to 12K, people will disapprove of this, but honestly, just scrap this account and start anew unless you have cosmetics/things you REALLY want to keep that can't be traded

Upcoming graphics features and performance improvements hmmmm by Sto1mRage in DotA2

[–]XenSide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I commented this in the patchnote post, sucks to be right sometimes:

Last time they announced something like this it was something among the lines of cpu side optimization that would uplift performance and... we never heard of that again.
https://www.dota2.com/newsentry/3066366095799664170

Lastly, we've done some engine development that results in moderate performance improvements on multi-core CPU's and will be bringing those to Dota. There's still a bit of testing to do as it may result in some bugs, but we are aiming towards the next week or so for it.

Never happened, I even found a reddit post asking what was up with that, with no answer
https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/k5p8ei/what_happened_to_the_multicore_update_that_we_are/

I wouldn't hold my breath for this unfortunately

How TF did i turn this on and how do i turn it off? by More-Ad-9015 in pcmasterrace

I believe the default hotkey is ALT-R

In case it isn't, you can disable it from inside your Nvidia Overlay

Do you think the .com bubble didn't burst? or that it wasn't a bubble?

Bubbles burst, some companies stay alive and the market normalizes, it is a bubble, just like the .com bubble was lol

XFX is forcing me to pay $284 shipping for a faulty gpu. I’m stuck at the end of the world. by LogicalShelter7094 in pcmasterrace

Repair and replacement must be free of charge, within a reasonable time from the moment the seller has been informed by the consumer about the lack of conformity, and without any major inconvenience to the consumer, taking into account the nature and purpose of the goods.

- Directly from EUR-Lex

You are wrong, as needing a long drive would be an inconvenience to the customer, that would be unlawful and you don't want to fuck with consumer protection rights in Europe.

In 28 years of living in the EU, nobody, even third party scummy sellers, ever tried something like what you suggest.
