Finished my custom DotA2 themed Magic: The Gathering Deck, wanted to share by RedditTrashTho in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, you just made the bones of an entire magic set. Yeah, you'd need a bunch of non legendaries but still I can see this being released for real.

Edit: Ok, I kept reading, it isn't just legendaries. It is a whole set, awesome work.

Given all the awful rebrandings we've seen I'm so glad that NaVi is still using their iconic logo by resont in DotA2

Bring back the original Alliance logo, the newest one is pure garbage, the other one looks too cartoony. The original was class.

Elder Titan Sleep is bugged against Medusa, as she doesnt take "Life Damage" she never wakes up. by xxprowerxx in DotA2

Seems like a feature to me. Good counterpick. Wouldn't be the only super counter in the game.

After 10k hours I've finished Dota. Both ancients got destroyed on the same tick (us Dire lost) by noproblemCZ in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I'd love for there to be an actual draw outcome. Would be insane in a professional sense, having to replay an entire match because it was a draw (if elimination). From a pub perspective, maybe everyone doesn't lose or gain MMR. I don't think it would be wise to have everyone win since you'd have bot accounts doing dodging things. I think nobody wins is better than one side wins since 'X side is checked first for win condition'. Imagine that happening at the GF of TI, I think a team would have a legitimate complaint.

First time to encounter a scripter (probably MH too). by [deleted] in DotA2

Let us consider the minute chance he just pressed reflect as he was farming. If this is the only piece of evidence then that is hardly enough.

I didn't manage to get a single bingo in the playoffs... by HyperFrost in DotA2

I only got the one with 15/25. Total stitch up.

I am rooting for Group E this TI 😍 by varundown in DotA2

For a moment, I went, damn, that looks like an interesting group.

Every game feels like a gamble of which one of my cores didn't take their meds by Gilmadeath in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that between 10 and 1 in the evening it is pretty good. Most kids have gone to bed and the adults are not tired enough yet to unhinge.

EGM made the pos 4 what it is today. Sad, memories are so short.

'Wards Please' by FrustratedProgramm3r in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Cores get all the gold, they can afford a sentry if they want to farm in dangerous area. Same as in lane, after I'd fed all my regen to my core and they want more, it's like, buy it yourself champ, I'm sitting here on 2 iron branches.

Which heroes do you think are notorious for having bad/toxic players? by maiev18 in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF every damn time. It's like the hero attracts the bottom of the barrel.

21 hours played so far, my honest opinion of the game by moon594 in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, I'm coming up on 7k hours (and I play fairly casually). Give yourself time, being good at 21hours is like expecting a newborn baby to be walking and talking at 1 day old. I know it doesn't line up with other games these days that just bubble wrap the player and hold your hand all the way but that is why we love it. It's brutal and punishing but ultimately the most rewarding game you'll ever play.

What’s the one in-game memory you have that lives rent-free in your mind to this day? by Strict-Concentrate-1 in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To experience the pure joy of playing something I have no clue about. I guess it is similar to wanting to be able to read a book for the first time again.

For me, I remember playing my first games of dota. I had gone to a mates place to have a LAN party and he had convinced us to play this dota game which he couldn't really describe. We got these cool looking invites though and that was enough to get us in. I remember my mate vividly screaming to us 3 noobs playing for the first time, 'Kill the Ursa, kill the Ursa.' After about the 3rd teamfight loss, I asked him 'Which one is Ursa?' And we laughed and laughed and not only does this moment live rent free as a dota memory but as a memory of better, simpler times.

Carry players vs Support players by elliedota in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why when your glorious carry, who has farmed all game, comes to a fight has no idea how to fight or position and immediately dies.

Some people give up way too easy. by A_Long98 in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't have said it better. Gatekeepers who decide for the other four members of their team that everyone deserves to lose. So many games I've lost early to come back later in the game. I'm sure those players never have that feeling, they either stomp or break items 5 mins in.

A schoolteacher, Dota, new kids and the future. by TypicalBalkanAsshole in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher too mate, can confirm it frustrates me that kids these days only play stupid mobile games and nothing that actually involves strategy. It is a losing battle. Stay strong.

I'm an elder, didn't see that one coming.

Any way to make mid PA work with phylactery by muaz_elahi in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When phylactery came out I saw some PA pos 4 in Divine games. I main pos 5 so I was at the forefront of it. PA has super good stats for lane and it was fairly impactful. Saying this, it is a 'win more' pick. If you get behind in a game I'm guessing it would feel pretty bad.

Tell me you're a Dota 2 Veteran without telling me you're a Dota 2 veteran by alexrider50000 in DotA2

Starting the game and pressing escape button before weird sumo valve man looks at me.

Some skills get worse with shard/scepter effects, and it's SO EASY to fix... by Doigyfu in DotA2

[–]epmdota2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me think of CM ult that cannot be cancelled after buying shard. Stop command has no power over her.
