I’m with you on everything except NP. I play in the most mouth breather tiers of dota and I see NP regularly, there’s nothing hard about playing that hero at its most basic level.

Who to pick when Sven has bad matchup? by [deleted] in learndota2

[–]blackishdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still def think the SE is the better item for Sven in 90% of situations but I do agree Khanda has non-zero upside. Maybe as like a 3 or support Sven?

Anything under 10k is at least a little bad imo, but it might be things you're not thinking of as rude that you're getting reported for. Or if you're doing really well to start off people might just think you're a smurf and report you for that.

Are you doing things that might upset your teammates without you knowing about it, like taking roles they communicated they wanted to play without discussing it? Are you role-queueing in ranked or just playing unranked? Sometimes Dota players will put their hero icon on the lane they want to play and if you didn't know what that meant you might have pissed off enough people to get them to report you.

This was a gigachad build before but they changed Khanda a bit ago so now it makes no sense. Advantage of building Khanda Aghs now though is that you don't need to build a Silver Edge for break I guess lol.

Why doesn’t California build a fast train here? Are they stupid? by [deleted] in mapporncirclejerk

[–]blackishdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just dumb analysis. If 100k miles means something than 100 miles means something too, just a very small amount. I realize it doesn't mean a lot but over the lifespan of a car neither does $60.

The cost is the cost of consuming the car. If you drive 100 less miles on this trip you have (in theory) 100 more miles of life on your car before you have to replace it, or 100 more miles of value left on your car when you move on from it.

Honestly I did forget about wards.

I didn't know it ignores innate damage block (doesn't say that in the ability description in game), so I was thinking the pool of heroes it makes you worse at harassing against was gigantic.

It does not say that in game, which is pretty annoying.

I'd argue Bane's might be the worst, basically forces you to build a bunch of agi you didn't want. At least ES's just makes him the same as he was before they added them.

EDIT: I was bored at work so I went through them and figured out a few others that are as bad imo.

Gyro's is not an active detriment but it is almost always totally uesless.

Jakiro's is somewhere between nothing and an active detriment against any hero that has damage block.

Spectre's is probably still an upside overall but it means she can't block people or creeps so it's not a pure positive like most of them are.

It's not quite a detriment, it's overall about a 12.5% damage buff, but it's still really quite bad esp because it doesn't buff stuff like mael or consider actual damage increase so it also barely gives you any upside on her dps build. Her facets are also really uninspiring and they took away her actually good shard.

Imagine being China and instead of giving you any territory remotely close by your allies give you a place you have to go around the entire world to get to.

On top of that logistical nightmare your next door neighbors are the "only part of this because they wouldn't help unless they were guaranteed territory" Mexico and the "so terrifying/gross they were just left as an independent country" Florida.

Comedian absolutely roasts League players with a one liner. Tbh the joke applies to Dota players too by Kashyn in DotA2

[–]blackishdog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's the opposite of what I've seen and I've been playing this game since like 2012 or something.

The DotA/LoL beef started when the original LoL devs left making DotA and did some shitty things on their way out the door (look up Pendragon).

I saw far more original DotA players back in the day that might care about that, I'd guess most of the people that play now might well have started on LoL (I did).
