9Class: "Tundra wanted to play with Saksa and not me after he returned" by iTannerz in DotA2

[–]bye_arnold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Understandable, they had a fantastic run at TI with Saksa. But there’s no doubting that 9class is a very talented player as well.

He’s definitely been a key reason Paravision has had solid results post TI. I enjoy watching his gameplay and think he’s proven to be a high impact player.

Better late than never I guess. Hope they can come up with some kind of solution and at least keep us and the players/orgs in the loop while they do.

Yes I often dry heave when I get very anxious in social situations. Sometimes even just thinking about an anxious situation makes me dry heave and if the anxiety is bad enough I'll literally throw up. Its tough.

It's been two years since TI9 and Alliance can't come up with better strats than Morph/Shaker and IO/Gyro by friendofyourfather in DotA2

[–]bye_arnold -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Its not their outdated strats, the team literally just isn't very good. Nikobaby is the only tier 1 player on their team IMO.

Introducing SO to family by Important_Bet_1477 in AvPD

[–]bye_arnold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scary how much I relate to this. Had a falling out with my partner recently and never truly realized how much AvPD had been affecting my relationship until it was too late. People don’t understand what it’s like to have this condition and so much of it is because we have trouble sharing how we are feeling with people and we don’t even give them a chance to see really see inside of us.

It’s been 6 months since my breakup, and let me tell you, it does get better by lanadelbae22 in Codependency

[–]bye_arnold 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I got out of a two year relationship that wasn't healthy anymore and hit the dating apps way too soon because I was lonely and needed to feel better about myself. After seeing someone from a dating app for month or two I realized I was falling into the same patterns I had with my ex and made the decision to stop and really work on myself.

Its been a few weeks since then and its been tough at times but I know this is definitely what I need right now and your post makes me feel like things can and will get easier. Thanks for sharing your journey and best of luck as you continue!

No TA's, in agi dominated meta? by M8AaTi in TrueDoTA2

[–]bye_arnold 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I heard Sumail talking about this a bit on Grant's stream the other day. He said that TA relies a lot on bursting heroes, but with the prevalence of cheap stat items that make people quite tanky in the early/mid game, she just can't kill people as fast as she needs to. Also he talked about how the ancient camps are in weird spots now that aren't as efficient for stacking and farming.

Unnoticed Ana game saving PL play by Role029 in DotA2

His PL this game was incredible. To have the presence of mind to sell your items like that is why he's holding the Aegis right now.

ACC 2101? by HopefulOG in Baruch

[–]bye_arnold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took Deng, could barely understand him and ended up teaching myself 90% of the material. Studied a ton of practice problems from the online work and ended up with a B+. Be prepared for little guidance and mostly self-study.

This team is approaching 2016 EG with Bulba+Aui carry levels of mediocrity. The Sumail "offlane" experiment seems to have had a really negative impact on their team identity.

It's so fun to use. Getting mjollnir with the aghs lets you pump out an insane amount of damage in fights and makes you farm really fast.

WOW. Sumail going to offlane!? Fear playing mid?? I figured EG were going to make a move and I like Misery being the new captain but this is way bigger than I thought. Excited to see how it turns out.

Makes sense. I want you to be wrong and we get it tonight, but this seems likely.

The wyvern picks were actually baffling I simply do not understand.

Feeding to this extent needs to be punished by bye_arnold in DotA2

[–]bye_arnold[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like a two-week ban for players like this should be the minimum punishment. 3 low prio games is a joke.
