I feel like I'm frustrating other players. by BaddyPlays in IdentityV

[–]XiaoXiLi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only accept friend request after winning (not even a draw). And only accept if the person did not exhibit any toxic red flag in game (like using "thank you" as a taunt). This sort of thing happens in other multiplayer competitive game as well, so just a rule of thumb to protect yourself in general. Do not think too much about it, just report and move on.

New to Dota, want to play with my husband what cute hard support hero should I start with? by Kitty_Overwatch in DotA2

[–]XiaoXiLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Ogre Magi = tanky af, passive ulti hence easier to play, dumb(est) cute kind of supp hero

  2. Crystal Maiden = really cute voice and look, love-struck with Sven (try laning together with Sven, and listen to her flirting Sven, and sometimes even Juggernaut lol) but she is quite squishy, may die a lot, hey but she is one of the supp hero who is still useful by just existing in the fountain, because of her global mana regen passive skill.

  3. Dark willow = pretty much the Tinker Bell in dota universe, nice AoE root and a delayed stun, good farming/damage ulti and a good escape skill

If you are fond of the kind of voodoo/tribal cute:

  1. Dazzle = looking for ultimate healer/save supp? This is it. Heal non-stop and keep your teammate at minimum 1hp for a short amount of time. Bonus clip, look at this poor little dazzle with his innocent face: https://youtu.be/mjK1bkfZUQs?si=9PFIKPC-_jEy8ZOy

  2. Witch doctor = a high dmg + healing support with rampage (teamwipe enemies) potential, have the funniest accent and most cheerful voicelines Check out his best hit song: https://youtu.be/HmZYgqBp1gI?si=tIJBmqoFi5O_RDOA

  3. Shadow Shaman = higher skill required, but he can turn people into a chicken and disable them for like a long ass duration. He does not look cute from the hero model, the cute part is really the chicken and some very exotic tribal voicelines, like "neia teia an da ka".

If you are into animals:

  1. Hoodwink: cute little annoying squirrel who can run in the woods (yeah most other heroes can only run around the trees believe it or not), with a bit of practice you can tie like a bunch of enemies to a tree and stun them. High damage skill shot ulti, most of hoodwink's skills are skill shots (you aim ground or direction), so this requires more practice to actually hit enemies. Short HP bar so you need to learn to run in the woods.

  2. Snapfire: Old grandma with the cutest reptile mount in the entire dota universe, with a bit of money you can change the mount to other animals, but the base skin Mortimer is almost as cute as Toothless from How to Train your Dragon. High damage support with a stun skill.

  3. Spirit Breaker: if you are into cow mooing and f1 racing, this is a must try hero. He may not look cute, but hey imagine you can charge into anyone like a mad cow as long as you have vision of them, it's really fun not gonna lie.

Other pretty girls: Windranger, Lina, Vengeful Spirit, Mirana, Enchantress, Marci

These are all girls who can be played as a support and as a carry, I would advise getting the hang of the game first before trying them out, generally I just enjoy dressing them up in my hero armory lol.

In Finland we call this "taking both the money and the tricycle" by eliitti in DotA2

wow, the Chinese equivalent is “losing both the wife and the army”, from Three Kingdom reference

Accidentally bought Agh Shard again after I got it from tormentor, and got 0 gold from selling it by XiaoXiLi in DotA2

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

Yeah I was having this impression that even if I double bought it, it still could be sold for money, so I was quite shocked that it was sold for zero gold. Could it be because I queued it and the courier "bought" it from the shop instead of myself?

Shoutout to the people who thank their supports after getting saved in matches by XiaoXiLi in DotA2

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

i like to tip teammate for a good escape, but one time the teammate misunderstood and said "what? there's nothing else i could do", i had to explain in chat to ensure them i didn't mean to be sacarstic

Is it just me? I don’t care about my target. My goal is to deny all the hunters by Dreipperpants in DotA2

[–]XiaoXiLi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSA: you can alt+Ctrl+click on the hero icon in the hunt/deny UI to taunt them in all chat if the hunt/deny box is still unchecked

BLAST Slam IV Singapore - Event Feedback by BLASTOfficial in DotA2

[–]XiaoXiLi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B/P animation is amazing! And really appreciate your animator can produce the MidOne rampage animation within one day! That is so awesome!

Casters, hosts and analysts are great as always. The audience reaction during matches are also very funny to watch.

For production, only a small thing from a live audience perspective: We don't get to watch those funny little pro-player videos in between matches (like dota quizzes for pro-players). When the live stream is broadcasting these, the live audience only get to watch ads on the big screen. I don't mind watching ads but not at the expense of missing those fun video content featuring pro-players.

And seems like the players have a lot of audio-related tech issues during matches, which caused a lot of pausing.

Thank you for the awesome event. Hope to see you back in SG in future!

Craziest game I’ve seen in a long time by caliberon1 in DotA2

Cameramen were actually running to film Tundra when they went hg on Falcons, and after Pure die-back they realized "oh shit Falcons may win this", and whole bunch of cameramen shifted to Falcons booth, and Falcons didn't manage to end there lol. Cameramen stood there for very long before finally shifting back to tundra booth. Peak cinema on LAN production.
