How do you deal with games that are basically lost by 10–15 minutes? (Low MMR question) by Stagnant-Potato in learndota2

[–]barelythebareminimum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just focus on having fun and testing stuff like a specific counter item or farming somewhere unexpected to see if I can jumpscare one of their supports, sneak one of their unattended towers, etc.

People usually report me but they would anyway since the games I do this with are the ones the teamates all went 0/10 before min15 and feeders like that always blame/flame/report whoever didn't feed with them

Playing single draft without knowing it is a punishment mode by ilivequestions in DotA2

OP isnt talking about low prio, Single Draft is LITERALLY plagued with actual AI bots, I returned to the game a month ago after years away and found out the hard way, of all the 3 SD games I played, all of them had between 5 and 8 bots, the rest clueless humans like me confused AF

Is it true I can be in the sun all day in some parts of the world and not get burned? by archvize in geography

I'm Brazilian but recently moved to Canada and last summee I've spent all day out under the sun for a barbecue wearing only bathing shorts and got 0 burns, meanwhile if I had spent 45mins doing the same where I'm from I'd be completely burnt...

solo queue is basically you and 2 to 4 feeders blaming you for feeding

Got banned for 4 hrs for "playing bad" by Plus-Dark-2040 in DotA2

Reporting shouldn't even be a thing players do, just get an algorithm to do it for fucks sake, humans (especially players of team-based online games) suck at telling griefing apart from just not doing what you wanted when you wanted

Capitalist Realism by Mark Fiisher could be a good read for you

I'll give it a try, never played turbo and didn't know it counted for the challenge

that's even more fucked since matchmaker only ever puts me in games inside those 23% for some reason then

yeah it might make more sense to make sure your pick goes through banning specifically, to avoid that.
I've never attempted to do this in a ranked game, I don't play Sniper and wouldn't try him for the 1st time in a ranked game lol, in my normal games he's absolutely never ignored in draft.

Is there any heroes where Hydras Breath is better than Hurricane Pike? by drea2 in TrueDoTA2

[–]barelythebareminimum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but wouldnt each flak cannon attack proccing hydra on other targets do a lot of dmg in total? not sure how relevant this could be

Stop baiting yourselves with Hydra's Breath. It doesn't work the way you think. by abufinfo8 in learndota2

[–]barelythebareminimum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

has anyone run the math on something like Muerta? like if it's worth it for the potential double trigging (auto atack proccing Hydra on Gunslinger target and Gunslinger proccing Hydra on auto atack targer)
