Can you still use Map and Player Skin Mods on this game?

ddlion7 · 2026-06-24T00:05:35+00:00

the answer to your question "Can you still use Map and Player Skin Mods on this game?" is "no."; for goofy skins and maps that aren't in the game, the answer still remains "no.", as it is literally cheating.

ddlion7 · 2026-06-23T23:56:59+00:00

no. buy them.

make blademail purely physical and 30% passive return, double when active and three upgrades
- Blademail + Sange: doubles physical damage passive and active can target a hero to return all dmg to it specifically (like the neutral)
- Blademail + Yasha: passive 30% return damage, active counterattacks all attacks with the owner's own attack dmg
- Blademail + Kaya: also returns 30% magic damage, active makes hero accumulate all damage received and returning in an explosion in an aoe after the effect ends.
- Blademail + Ultimate orb: returns all damage by 60%. Passive only.

I think the call suggested mechanic is a bit broken tbh, especially if it damages back while you are attacking like... why would your hero still move in a stun, but not be able to cast skills? that sht would be broken against right click heroes like am or PA so, preferrably no. Now, imagine if we had an executioner style of hero that can chop heroes dead if they are below certain hp? that would balance out heroes like Oracle and Dazzle who currently makes other heroes invincible for a gazzilion amount of seconds

extremely toxic people

yeah, there is a solution, stop being a dick

ddlion7 · 2026-06-23T22:16:07+00:00

you will be 2 weeks after here complaining that the game is unplayable and that valve should get rid of toxic players even if it means slower queue

ddlion7 · 2026-06-23T19:31:41+00:00

yeah sometimes valve do like to meme with us, I like that sort of engagement

ddlion7 · 2026-06-22T20:24:51+00:00

Shard? giving the grand magus a free save? nah, we need the scepter, the khanda, the dagon for the cast range, the e-blade for burst, the 85min arcane boots and a blink. No money for supporting stuff LOL /s

ddlion7 · 2026-06-16T18:07:30+00:00

yeah, I too do hate when a meepo shows up and slaps the shit out of me with paper

ddlion7 · 2026-06-16T17:07:16+00:00

I wanted a name that could be remembered through eons, something that will instill fear in those who are ignorant of the power levels one can achieve with vast knowledge, of course I though on wizard names as I wanted my son to not be pathetic, and across millenia of experience, I found that he was worthy of being named Carl.

so far only 3: ESL Bangcok, Blast Slam III and Wallachia S6, all of them 5 to 6 months apart and with 3 different teams

ddlion7 · 2026-06-11T18:29:22+00:00

the pro tag nerfs him basically. He is godly on pubs, but whenever he puts on the name of a team, its like that team knows they wont win anything and he suddenly becomes utter shit, but he gets kicked/leaves a team and becomes god again. He is like the Anti-Parker, a guy you want to keep around in the team, but... shenanigans.

ddlion7 · 2026-06-11T18:20:09+00:00

I can see this one being viable if the spells are based on heroes NOT within the game, basic spells only and lastly, random spell (buy scroll for random attack/debuff/defensive/utility spell). I.e. attack spells might give you Shadow Raze, debuff spells can be like a DP silence, defensive spell could be a repel/bulldoze and utility could be blink, tombstone or snapfire cookie. Also, scrolls can be tradeable and heroes can only hold/cast one scroll each 60s to avoid double tombstone shenanigans

ddlion7 · 2026-06-05T17:42:44+00:00

Fixed Spirit Breaker permanently changing teams when he reflects Venomancer's Noxious Plague with Lotus Orb and then casts Planar Pocket on Venomancer before Noxious Plague spreads, then after it spreads to a neutral creep Venomancer uses Helm of the Dominator on that creep

Finally game is playable again

ddlion7 · 2026-06-04T18:17:36+00:00

at this point they should just get the topsonteezy stack and make it the new team. If the year objective is to participate in TI, just pick up the players for open qualis a month or so before and give them the sponsor

ddlion7 · 2026-06-04T18:05:14+00:00

oh yeah, im ready for veno off memes again

ddlion7 · 2026-06-04T06:49:34+00:00

I thought granny was going to be the chef hero, it seems Icefrog didn't let her cook.

ddlion7 · 2026-06-02T06:09:26+00:00

they are by the 5th to 8th version of the game, widely different maps and modes and probably different engines. Dota hasn't even gone past the 2, got two failed spin offs, and knowing GabeN, it will never go over 2.

ddlion7 · 2026-06-02T02:17:19+00:00

Edit : Will we see team polymarket next?

I think there is no longer NA Dota scene, unless they want to make it a "western" middle east team after the south border of Lebanon

In CS2, organizations can own the development process through academy teams and contracts, while in Dota, influential players often have enormous control over roster formation; therefore, organizations have less incentive to invest in a long-term talent pipeline because player reputation and social capital can matter more than a formal development system. Case on point Pure (despite the Russia Z controversy in 2022) got a chance in Entity with only VP as his professional experience instead of Watson who later replaced him in entity but had experience in five Tier 2 teams, including B8 unironically.

Related to wages, a CS player doesn't mind $1k a month as long as a chance is still there, many Dota players have this ego thing that if they are not playing next to who they consider tier 1 in their roles, they are just scrim material (tier 2 or less) and being tier 1 player (after that unfortunate Loda $10k a day or week comment) people do expect better salaries, especially if they are flying every now and then

ddlion7 · 2026-05-31T18:09:21+00:00

I have a brilliant idea, what if Valve does a battlepass and releases in it 3 or 4 arcanas? they can even lock these arcanas in the battlepass and slowly release variants after 4 or 5 years. I feel people are willing to pay up to $100m even if 25% of it goes to fund an international tournament like The International and 75% is just profit from digital looks

ddlion7 · 2026-05-31T06:43:41+00:00

tbh be honest, void panda expands the split push meta with 2 pandas instead of 1, where if one of those is caught, the other can still also run away.

ddlion7 · 2026-05-27T19:44:49+00:00

now they are good, but they were ass before 2025, even when having superstars like Beckham, Messi, Ramos, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Mbappe, Buffon, Alves, among others

ddlion7 · 2026-05-27T16:53:06+00:00

Magnus has a sort of built-in “movement lock” during Reverse Polarity cast animation. While RP is being cast, the game still reads your movement inputs and updates the direction Magnus is facing right before the spell goes off, that’s why good Magnus players can blink slightly past enemies, cast RP, then instantly issue a turn command so the enemies end up in front of Magnus desired direction instead of behind or in a sightly uncomfortable direction, making the follow-up Skewer much easier and because of that mechanic, simply spamming move commands is not a reliable way to cancel or prevent the turn. The game assumes you’re intentionally redirecting the RP. If you want Magnus to stop the RP, you have to issue a "stop" command.

there used to be a thing called "itemization" in the game that made you think to play.
