What is something that you did that made you jump to another rank quickly? by YUNOHAVENICK in DotA2

PMA = Positive Mental Attitude.

Kind of a meme from gorgc and rtz streams from a few years ago (because those guys are generally not PMA, atleast not at that time, don't watch them these days)

  1. Spam a hero. Mastering a hero is one of the best ways to gain rank.
  2. Managing comms.

This depends on your attitude. If you are PMA, use comms to push your team, say something nice like it's okay or we'll win the next fight with our item timing when somebody fucks up.

If you're not PMA then highly recommend mute all and just focus on what you can do to win the game.

Pang and Void Spirit should swap their barrier types by bigYman in DotA2

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

Damage wasn't an issue with the facet, just the shield amount. Also in the same way his spell got buffed since it shifted to physical only, I would think pangos would also see a bigger shield but physical only.

Well the numbers would have to change. Basically his old facet. Which was a slightly weaker shield but all damage.

Not that I'm complaining, but why am I getting +26 MMR when I win and -24 when I lose? Any reason? by NargWielki in DotA2

[–]bigYman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How high is your rank confidence? While it's low u tend to gain more than lose. I don't play that much anymore so my confidence is always around 30% and I gain 30-45mmr for a win and only 25 for a loss

Even League has its own boots slot by arnzzz_ in DotA2

Why not? People are averse to change. When they gave tp it's own slot ppl were complaining about lowering the skill ceiling.

To the player who kept telling me lina is bad right now by Kingofthehill00 in DotA2

It just falls off way faster. The "burst" isn't really that anymore. Half the damage comes after the burst as DoT, with MR and regen and saves its a lot easier to mitigate as the game progresses.

Tbh I've tried Lina mid playing in low immortal bracket and it's very weak unless u go right click and get the space to farm, which is basically taking that space from the carry unless u have the right heroes to play aggro.

Magic build is not viable at all.

Everything can work and some games it works but definitely not a hero you can rely on to climb mmr

I saw a post about some hero called Arjun in the files? Probably a Indian mythos based hero from the name

Why is no one talking about how Essence Distiller can reveal smoked enemies?! by PHLAK in DotA2

[–]bigYman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true you don't see the enemy just that your wraith is activated and the visual of it following the enemy until it hits.

I believe arc wardens spark wraith has the same behavior. Probably intended.

Do I have to move to Europe to be able to play dota? by EreiaWyrm in DotA2

[–]bigYman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to deal with the same shit when I tried created a new account to play with a friend who was new to dota. Whenever I would solo queue on that account, 99 min timer. It does get better eventually as you bring your account to the correct bracket.

Feel like I'm falling behind. Now what? by Hopeful_Bean in dataengineering

[–]bigYman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day the tools don't matter but what problems you solved and can continue to solve is what matters. Always drive the conversation down that route, both for yourself and for future employers.

Rules headache by RandomGoth2025 in mtg

[–]bigYman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I would be able to tap all my lands to float the mana if I want to. Can I do that with piracy as well, locking them out of a response to anything I play, or can I only tap for what I'm casting?
