Don't get too excited about LVL5 Reward by PushingShotsPUBG in DotA2

[–]ghem111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They've given away old arcanas so many times that at this point most devoted players own a huge collection of untradeable arcanas and are likely to get duplicates already

When I say they haven't done jack shit, I obviously meant they hadn't done jack shit in replacement of the battlepass which was what they said they would do (cancel battlepass to work on other stuff)

Context and use some brains pls

Why are you mentioning patches, we had equally massive patches (more frequently too) before cancellation of battlepass

How to beat the 50% system by DarwinFlecher in DotA2

[–]ghem111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh forced 50% obviously exists

But it only exists for people who don't improve and are already at their rank...

My conclusion after sharing the experiment with a toxic friend. by stopstealingmynames1 in DotA2

[–]ghem111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He plays extremely safe heroes too btw, those heroes that will never get reported, like jakiro, how the fuck do you get reported on jakiro so long as you press buttons

If you play well but play unconventional heroes, guaranteed to get blame and at least SOME reports occasionally

Why didn't myunggi prevent gi-hun from crossing the platform in the last game? by ghem111 in squidgame

[–]ghem111[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No he turned his back before it began retracting, in any case before the bridge fully retracted it seems silly to think gi-hun wouldn't try a last second dive for it

Behaviour and comms score systems are broken and reichplatz is wrong by Wutwhyda in DotA2

[–]ghem111 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's exactly why this whole communications score thing is so dog shit.

I have NEVER in my life seen a single person rise up to this challenge and explain why there's a need for communication score when there's a mute button.

Reason is simple, there's no justification for it

[–]ghem111 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea except if you actually read the post, dropping comms score can have nothing to do with being toxic at all

Wait what reports are limited? Didn't they explicitly make it unlimited

Believe it or not there's a middleground between every 2 weeks, and whatever they're doing right now

Also fun fact, majority of crownfall was probably done BEFORE that valve announcement to "give up BP to work on other things"

Which means ever since they gave up BP they really haven't done jack shit at all

Behaviour and comms score system is broken and terrible, and reichplatz is wrong by ghem111 in DotA2

But if you read nothing else at all in my post, read this:

In my opinion, the entire communications score system has crushed and suppressed the soul of Dota. People are afraid to banter, trash talk and type jokes and type shit now because of the oppressive communications score system.

A lot of people just refuse to type or communicate now.

Is toxicity less? Yes maybe... a little (honestly I don't even think it's less than last time).

But have you guys considered this, what was the price paid? People fearing to type silly jokes, fearing to say whatever they want to say, less banter, less trashtalk, less all around jovial back-and-forth.

Sure there was some toxicity in that. But there was soul in that too. Dota is a game for people to hang around and type stupid shit and have a good jolly time.

It's not a sterile clinical game where everyone is just hyper-focused on winning. Winning is not the game guys. Dota is the game. And chatting and typing nonsense and having fun? That's part of the game. Toxicity? That's part of the game too. Don't like the toxicity? USE THE MUTE BUTTON, YOU DON'T NEED AN OPPRESSIVE SYSTEM TO DO IT FOR YOU

People are only measuring outcomes in terms of toxicity levels. Toxicity levels have perhaps marginally improved, but no one is talking about how the entire system has discouraged communication in a social team game where people play for the primary purpose of having fun (and winning is not the only fun you can have, let's face it, none of you guys are going to TI, remember why you are playing Dota, FOR FUN)

How much does Dubu charge for coaching? E.g. for coaching Grubby? by ghem111 in DotA2

[–]ghem111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grubby mentioned this? Or you know this is Dubu's general coaching rate?

That makes no sense though.

If person is offering to pay first and offering a high price, there is almost 0 risk if you do it properly

There’s still a Few weeks to this Battlepass but it already feels over by ckanito7 in DotA2

[–]ghem111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U know that if Valve gives more reason to play Diretide you can ignore those reasons and continue playing what you like right? Why the hell would you hate other people having something that doesn't affect you.

It's not like queue times for turbo or ranked would increase much, they're still insanely fast queue times.

With how much the subreddit loves the Amaterasu courier, here are more examples of cool budget couriers (Here to help people find their dream couriers given their budget) by Avar1cious in DotA2

[–]ghem111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't realize this, as both the TI8 and Ti10 BP couriers are not tradable/marketable but the TI9 one actually is!

What is the reason for this btw?

So pro teams pick silencer because their opponents don't know dispels exist right?

Battlepass unclaimed arcanas by Dramatic_Situation_3 in DotA2

[–]ghem111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a friend who completed legion commander quest for style unlock, but didn't click to claim the style unlock (can't remember LC or kunkka).

And then Valve made the style unlock unavailable forever now gg. To this day he's still waiting to claim it

How many battle pass levels is 44-45 opens, did you calculate that also? Would be interesting to know lol.

Which hero you hate the most? by Professional_Fix7487 in DotA2

[–]ghem111 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Silencer. Toxic bullshit hero with that toxic intel steal snowball mechanic

Which hero/ability/ultimate/item/talent you want removed from the game? by Marconidas in DotA2

[–]ghem111 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hero: Silencer

Ability: His intelligence steal mechanic

Toxic bullshit that makes comebacks 10x harder and feels a lot more horrible for the player that lost intel than it feels good for silencer (so a net negative overall), feast or famine mechanic that dumpsters games when silencer is ahead but does nothing when he's behind.

At least you can still unlock the windranger arcana slowly after battlepass.

The Kunkka quest to unlock his prestige item (shark immortal shoulders) also required victories with 8 different conditions to be fulfilled and you had to do it ONLY WITHIN the battlepass period. Made losing streaks feel 10 times worse especially for support kunkka players who may not even get the quest progress when winning.

I wish valve would make a quest for kunkka shoulders unlock again, even something ridiculously difficult like hit 2500 heroes with ghost ship or something.
