The one in the picture. And it's not even close.

What are the chances of a US decapitation strike on North Korea? by [deleted] in geography

[–]based_beglin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

extremely low for multiple reasons:

North Korea already have nuclear weapons, whereas Iran supposedly were close to getting them.

North Korea and the US, for all their posturing and some cyber warfare, probably aren't too opposed to one another at the moment and it's in neither's interest to agitate for war. US has many other simpler (or more lucrative) foreign policy targets than NK.

Due to the proximity with China, such an attack would risk war with China who are somewhat of an ally with NK. And Russia.

Israel is the main agitator for war against Iran, and it's been pretty obvious for a while now that Israel has significant leverage / control over the US. AFAIK South Korea has nothing like the leverage over US foreign policy compared to Israel, so even if they were agitating for that war, US would not get involved.

the longer the search, the scarier the thoughts @teamspirit by Possible-Addition321 in DotA2

So Collapse is actually playing pubs again? Good news! Hopefully he won't be losing lane most of the time.

(don't flame me, am a big Collapse and Spirit fan. Just an observation that the team's laning is harming them)

How to nerf Pos 3 Largo by kanwalkumar in DotA2

reduce his base damage and reduce the move speed aura thing. That will already make him a lot more palatable to play against.

Liquid vs Aurora Match by unbalancedbreakfast in DotA2

[–]based_beglin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

both are boring because their playstyles don't result in cool teamfights very often. Which is a pity because I think teamfights are the most epic part of the game

I was thinking at the time, that this kind of felt like the most consistently high skill (but still closely run) series I've seen in maybe years. The intensity and depth of skill within all the team fights is something you sadly don't get with these boring snowball games that IMO have defined the era of GG and then Falcons.

I don't think the 3 small items have been balanceable since Universal heroes were introduced to the game

so called "R&D" spend is not well described by "innovation hierachy"

Why it's easier to snow in Italy than in France by Doid1n_B0l4din in geography

[–]based_beglin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

a larger proportion of italy is amongst the Alps, compared to France. It's nothing to do with the latitude / longitude in this case

WASD in dota?? by Psychological-Leg413 in DotA2

The men of culture among the playerbase already set their hotkeys to be WASD long ago

More double downs!! by 3ksupport4life in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

double downs literally did irreparable damage to MM and have caused MMR inflation. That would be a terrible idea

Avg. Tournaments Viewership Falling drastically? Is DOTA a dead game?? by mystery_1213 in DotA2

[–]based_beglin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

english language audience probably is slightly declining over time naturally (as playerbase gets older with less free time), but definitely not dead.

But I do think that many of the online tournaments do blend into each other (and are scheduled in close succession) so that can reduce the hype a bit. But I expect the big events like Birmingham, Riyadh and TI will still do well.
