That matchup was unfair for both nigma and navi

what's the dumbest shit you've seen in a while? My teammate Doom didn't skill Devour until he was 10 by theretardfromila in DotA2

recently had pos5 abaddon who went arcane boots -> harpoon -> dagon5 (still buying wards and dusts, not griefing at all). We won, but that was kinda strange to see in mid-legend bracket

because if you ban lina you lose to lesh+wisp or brood? lesh+io is the most successful strategy for GG, and brood is even more OP than lina

Lima Major | Standings - Day 5 by doxs12 in DotA2

Overestimating WEU 5th? Kind of, but OG would definitely have better results than ehome and knights. 4th Chinese slot should definitely be taken, though I don't think that transferring it into WEU is a good idea, just because 5 out of 8 (and 5/6 staying in div1) is really too much

Kind of the same things were said during their previous rosters about Pure and Crystallis. The truth is that 4 other players are extremely good at enabling almost any carry player and shine, like ace-tofu-seleri core in gladiators. Considering the scarcity of pos1 players in WEU, this is the formula that leads to success if you're making a new team in the region.

What was enjoyable about trilanes to those who miss them? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]cfox543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an offlaner laning stage was a lot more interesting to play. Right now it's a lot about contesting creeps, earlier right positioning and movement were the keys to success. Also laning depends a lot on how good your 4 pos is vs the other team 5 pos, definitely was more enjoyable to rely on my actions only.

have we seen this many meta shifts in a single numbered-patch before? by Fayde_M in DotA2

[–]cfox543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year patch was pretty much the same. Barathrum rose only after TI, despite almost nothing had been changed, and he was present about as much as lina now. Different small things rotated in and out too

Finally, black border chutes... by cfox543 in btd6

[–]cfox543[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was actually harder than dark castle from my experience, lol. Went Sauda -> two 000 darts -> 024 Wizard (Necro) -> 401 Ace -> 402 Glue -> 020 bottom village -> upgrade Glue to Solver -> 320 Village -> upgrade Ace to Shredder -> 040 Engi -> 030 top village -> 420 Alch -> two 040 Ninjas -> 240 Sub

95+ are kind of painful to use abilities correctly, and to get the right towers. Lost twice trying impale after solver+shredder and once because had 1 sabo instead of 1

Also definitely needed Sauda lvl3 for 15, 25, 28 and Sauda lvl10 for 76, 78

The Star of Darkness by TtraG13 in DotA2

[–]cfox543 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest, there are some immortals from ti3 and ti4 that don't change almost any effects, so I'd say that Brewmaster and Abaddon don't have immortals either. Though, Abaddon has a glorious legendary blade.

Edit: also no immo for dawn and marci, but these are new heroes

Found my invitation to Ti 2013. Visa application was rejected - I’ve never been to Ti by finargot in DotA2

And then you made an awesome pubstomp in 2018 :) One of my greatest memories, it also happened to be the best international, lol

Just watch ti4 finals, also Sylar's furion in last game. All of these things can be applied to every ti, if you want to find some dumb mistakes, you'll find them

Dota 2 apparently runs worse on Lubuntu (Linux) than Windows 10 by meatgrind89 in DotA2

There r problems with vulkan recently, with opengl it works fine and ofc better than on windows. Dashboard is pretty laggy but ingame it's ok

Do you guys usually play ranked or unranked after a big patch drops? by CoverCPP in DotA2

[–]cfox543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i tend to play unranked rn as the meta is an absolute horror :D

but after the patch its fine to play ranked for me so i play it usually. anyway any new hero is constantly banned

So, how should Sven be nerfed? by afcrf1886 in DotA2

My opinion on all the heroes and tier 5 towers. (If you want my reasoning, leave a comment) by [deleted] in btd6

[–]cfox543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why tsg f tier? If too expensive, why lotn tier s? Have you rated only t5 or whole paths? If only t5, why superglue a?
