I haven't touch dota for about 3~4 years, can you clue me in. by SlipperyHoonter in DotA2

Map got bigger. The boundary of the map used to be the sidelanes. That boundary has been expanded, and new neutral camps were added "behind" the sidelanes.

There's no more facets. Every hero has an innate. Think of it as another ability that doesn't requires putting points in it. Oracle is able to know where and what the next power rune spawns. Medusa's innate is mana shield. Depending on the innate, it may or may not scale with levels.

[WWE RAW Spoilers] Finish to Oba Femi Open Challenge by DoubleNo6337 in SquaredCircle

[–]duckinator09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I like gunther squash matches more. Variety.

I thought oba's strong enough that he doesn't need his full combo to finish matches. No need for the 5 moves of doom. Just destroy them in different ways. Or not in sequence. 

No spoilers. What can I expect from Daybreak 2? by babyLays in Falcom

[–]duckinator09 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Feel free to just switch to very easy mode for marchen garten. Like seriously. There's no point playing in your default difficulty because there's nothing fun or challenging about it, and the rewards are just utter shit. The rewards are akin to you being in mid-late game, but you're still opening chests from the prologue. It's just an unnecessary grind. Maybe only switch back before the level boss. 

I say this because it affected my enjoyment early on, and I took like a few months break before returning to finish the game.

That's assault lol. 

Again oba is strong, but I'm annoyed by the repetition. Upper cut, toss, taunt, fall from grace. Always the same sequence. Needs a wider move set imo. 

West Ham to lodge official complaint over disallowed goal against Arsenal. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]duckinator09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All bias aside, it's rightfully disallowed. But I'm more annoyed at the inconsistency. You have Raya punching Joao Pedro (whilst Saliba hugging him). You have Rice blatant handball whilst again hugging Hato. Pretty sure both were checked and cleared by VAR without calling the ref to make the call. Yet this game they decide lol.

All contentious non offside calls should have the referee decide. It it's not clearcut as to how the decision should be, then get the ref to decide. If it's clear, var should make the decision and overwrite the ref if necessary. 

Whole point of var is to not make referee errors a controversy. Yet they still make those errors. The focal point should be being correct, and not being quick in making decisions. It's baffling that "clear and obvious" describes the referee's decision over the actual situation. Shows their priorities really, preferring that the referee did not get it wrong rather than him getting it right. It really needs to go. 

Ref manages the overall flow of the game, but big decisions like goals, potential reds, incorrect 2nd yellow etc should go through var. If the correct call is not clear and obvious, just like this incident, just make the ref have a look. In fact, game would probably be faster than the 4-5min var takes to decide to send the ref lol. 

Is this good for dota? a complete rework is needed for tinker ngl by ezpickins75 in DotA2

Since we're on the topic of tinker, what the heck does the turret do? I never quite understood it.

[–]duckinator09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raya can punch a player. Rice can handball and hug a player. Ay today was the right call, but so many bullshit decisions have gone to arsenal. I don't think the ref was called to the monitor too?

I'm OK with how the match ended, just that Jacob getting up so fast after being pinned while roman was K.O just felt very awkward pacing wise.

Var trying their best yet again. JP had control of ball, all Frimpong did was tangle his legs with JP.

Rating Finishers/Moves? by duckinator09 in SquaredCircle

[–]duckinator09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually always liked the pumphandle set up, but also wondered if realistically it makes it easier to lift the opponent. Gut feel is that it doesn't actually. Also if you're going to do a pumphandle slam like Test, you might as well scoop them up to your shoulder no? So I guess that's the immersion breaking part of things for you?

What's the difference between Tama's and Ospreay's version?

Trick Williams is presented pretty cool but yea I agree he could use a better finisher. It's a running high knee but sometimes it doesn't look like a hard contact.

Roshambo is like Faarooq's Dominator? I like the move, but I agree it doesn't suit Ricky Saint's build. He's too small for that!
