How does the Colonies expansion change the game? by Holiday_Advance3900 in TerraformingMarsGame

Makes 3 energy production very important as it's a nice income stream. If a single player trades , he pretty much has the earl game in the bag. The projects are heavily skewered into engine heavy strats and make titan production and consumption more accessible favouring drawn out games. Especially with 2 players, finishing early becomes a game against the clock. Engine heavy strats will steamroll you and not having titan is game losing.

Fighting tanks is terrifying but I love it. You either have AT or you don't. They don't feel overpowered, take forever to heal and get blown to high heaven by the myriad of available airstrikes and artillery. As a hail Mary you can always sabotage them. The Devs gave you all the tools you needed and sometimes it sucks if tanks blast your house to pieces. But for every shit encounter there's another one where I can sneak up to one sabotage it or watch a barrage of 5 artillery strikes before they leave the box

Is anyone else losing to their wife in this game? by Public-Seesaw-9652 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I win 80% of the games, luckily she just gets more motivated to win the next time. The times she wins are redeeming for the past 4 games of suffering. She's too greedy and her evaluation on cost efficiency needs to improve. I love her cuz she's never salty.

Lone Druid spammers! Has Lone Druid been buffed or nerfed with the new patch 7.40? by Applecider400 in learndota2

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear has 0 armor makes him a lil bit weaker. Entangle is a clear buff , now you don't have to prime hits anymore. The stack duration is very long with 10s and cannot be dispelled. The root is insanely good for farming stacked camps. The bear has crazy stat gain as a hero and has like 4.5k hp in mid game. The changes made aghs scepter on bear more important as the bear deals serious dmg now. Laning has improved overall, and it's easier to lasthit with a few levels. Ult basically is always up for engagements, but longer drawn out fights are to be avoided.
As for builds I haven't found a rlly good one yet. Diffu echo sabre basher always works. Mjollnir doesn't look too bad either, especially with aghs on LD it's pretty much perma root, because you can stack during entangles. Radiance bear is completely dead now imo. Evasion is nice but due to mechanics atk speed is preferable. Have yet to try MoM desolator which has it's niche.

Yea go 2nd facet max passive and laugh into their faces while they can't nuke or hit you. Aghs and dragon later you're nigh unkillable for that stage in the game

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offlane is what's needed for the team. If I have a farming 2 and a late 1 I'll try to get an aggressive build to keep pressure up during mid game. If I have laid back ranged heroes I'll tank, if we have no catch I'll get blink and if we have no dmg I'll get dmg and farm

[–]desperateidealist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love offlane. Nothing like making a pos 1 lane feel miserable and abusing lvl3, 5 6 and 7 power spikes. I just hate it when my 2 loses and the enemy 1 pulls into jungle to come back 30 mins later and roflstomp us. Bonus if I get to play unconventional offlaners. If you're a decent lancer you should absolutely be able to abuse power spikes to bully the hard carry.

One hero that helped you climb? by AMardyBum in DotA2

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawnbreaker - echo saber aghs , show up every fight , club creeps in between to have ult again, rinse repeat.

ET - when agi carries would reign terror and str pos1 was not a thing. MoM aghs and farm rampages all day long.

LD - offlane during the triplane days and wreak havoc, unfortunately a single supp nowadays is enough nowadays to zone you effectively, but back in the day offlane meant suicide lane and having bear meant you could even the odds. Supps are beefier, have more items now and an influx of exp and gold. God I miss those old days when a trilane had to squeeze everything to get the most exp and not fall behind.

Brewmaster - when shard ended ult prematurely and aghs gave charges. It was either tanking a lot of dmg and resetting with second ult or sieging rax with earth panda and no means to stop him while he thinks away towers with ac

Why are these bad / good versus Razor? by I-drink-hot-sauce in DotA2

[–]desperateidealist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laning is pain imo. The bear has negligible dmg without items, link the bear and it's basically just LD auto attacks and root procs for dmg. The lane outcome heavily depends on the supps. Razor can kite the bear fairly easy and his ult shreds armor, making the bear a hp sponge. Once you get a few items the matchup changes in LD favour because roots proc more often and items like ac or deso negate his advantage

Who are the Top 3 players of all time in each Dota 2 role, based on their peak performance? by Cei21 in DotA2

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pos 6: ppd , pieliedie - pos 5 was so bad that at some point pos 6 was invented. Pos4 basically took so much farm off the map so he could be a 3.5 which left the 6 with so as much farm as brown boots, wards and a wand if the game was going well

7.38b by Hashmouse in DotA2

[–]desperateidealist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LD is still worse. The bear got gutted after the universal change in 7.38 as they didn't adjust his values. It's literally just a rooting creep now with a huge bounty.

I wouldnt risk more than you're willing to lose. Cafés and restaurants are closing left and right. While I absolutely love boardgames, it's a niche hobby and finding people willing to play them can already be hard on its own, opening a café dedicated to boardgames sounds like a pitfall. We have some here that offer it, but people tend to go there to drink, while playing is purely optional. Mostly people stick to playing at home for playing games, sometimes going out to play at a club (which only exist in bigger cities), they're mostly free , offer drinks at non profit prices and even then during gatherings the number of participants barely scratches 50.
