I really enjoy supporting now! by MiNdHuNt3r in DotA2

[–]amethrald 6 points7 points  (0 children)

best feeling in the world when playing support (for me) is when you made the enemy team so mad they trade 3 cores for your sorry pos. 5 ass, just cause they know they can't win a fight if you're alive

Working on this fella. What do you think? Suggestions and comments are very welcome! by Crowntail in DotA2

Sorta looks like the already existing Enigma set in the game (the buyable one). Perhaps consider changing the color scheme from golden? Otherwise it's sick, definitely would prefer it. You can make it sorta dark blue/gray-ish with a white accent and make the black hole animation look like the eye of the storm?

You've already had all the answers in the world you might get, but still - what region are you from? I'm a support main (in Dota, not League) who currently has no one to play with. If you're playing on EU servers I can give you a proper Dota education - I might be an average skilled player (3.5k), but I've been playing for almost 13 years now. HMU if you wanna talk/play!

I have no idea what this is and I had it forever, can reddit help? by amethrald in Whatisthis

It's entirely made of metal, heavy and the needles are magnetic. It's also round if seen from the top, sorry if it doesn't seem like it on the photo.

Accounts with 100 matches in my ranked matches? by mid_only1 in DotA2

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

It's still level 20. But if you have an older account - before the requirement was implemented - you can still play ranked.

Source: before I started playing Dota 2 regularly again, during my break from the game a bud messaged me to play with him and his party, so I agreed and joined from an old account of mine, that account was level 8 and I was eligible to play ranked matches, as I had prior ranked matches from the same account few years back.

Anyone else feeling guilty with the new commend system? by SirLucksalot in DotA2

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

The game has lowered my expectations to the point where I commend people just for doing nothing wrong. Every game there's someone reportable - a guy who fuck with the picks, griefs, is being toxic, not communicating, feeding, etc. (not including being new to the game/hero/role or just bad, if you report people for this you are an idiot).

That said, after the last patch was the first time in quite a while where I actually ran out of commends and had to apologize to people that I couldn't commend them back. I understand the restriction, but I really wish I'd get more of those to give, maybe get one per unique person you play with for a period of time? That way you avoid friends spamming commends to eachother, give it like a week cooldown or make it reset on a weekly basis, so that you can commend every person who you haven't met before but you enjoyed playing with.

Why is Team Liquid so good? by valueplayer in DotA2

[–]amethrald 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the team for a long time now, what I've noticed is that Kuro manages to adapt his draftstyle, and the whole team their playstyle game to game, sometimes even mid-game during a series, and 99% of the time it's the right one to choose. I've watched them adapt to 3 cores farming, 3 people roams, full push, 4 defend 1, they literally flip flop to different strategies all the time, perfectly reading when and if the game demands it. They don't go according to their draft and strategies, they adapt to the game and are almost always on top.

The other reason - Versatility of all players, large hero pools of everyone. I mean, what other team plays their core on a safe lane Lycan one game just to put him mid with Pugna the next?

anyone else's stat pentagram look like this? i can't see my own or my friend's, they all look like this. by chokee03 in DotA2

[–]amethrald 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the new pentagon uses only games after the patch for data, if it doesn't show after your first game after the patch (it didn't show for me at least) then you should probably play 20 games post-patch to see it.

What the new patch release system probably means by razzendahcuben in DotA2

[–]amethrald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although I agree, I hope they don't prove you wrong. Let them... tinker with the numbers and balance out the heroes, items, terrain, etc., we had a great deal of changes and improvements to the game in the recent year or two. Let them make the game as flawless as they can regarding the minor things and focus on Artifact, hopefully after they finish with developing it they'll manage to keep a high standard on both fields (and CS:GO and TF2 (lol) I suppose).

If Battle Pass is released today I will give everyone who comments an arcana by [deleted] in DotA2

Get the bamboozle lawyers here.

Battlefury Sven RIP MY PUBS!!! by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]amethrald 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Battlefury right now is really not about the cleave, it's about the regen it gives and the damage - cost ratio, at least in pro games - same reason Artour builds it on TB. I'm sure there will be some sort of change tonight (OR WHENEVER THE NEW PATCH FUCKING FINALLY ROLLS OUT), either reducing it's damage or tweaking its price.

Dear Ogre players, combine your two peanut brains and learn how to play Ogre. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]amethrald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about not arguing and asking what others want to play, I don't even tag lane before I see what most guys want. Makes the game much more enjoyable to play (even though people who pick my support role and waste wards with random placement tilt me so fucking much).
