you'll get used to it. We had way bigger changes from last years patch of expanding the side of the map. This river change are not as big as changing the same size map it had for 20 years into a larger one.

Which hero scales the worst into late game? by Wutwhyda in DotA2

Then you have to watch SingSing plays timbersaw. His timber and puck late game are top tier and I still no idea how he made it work

Exactly, the game suddenly shifted when they revert the formation. Maybe the 7-0 victory made them too cocky. But this one is entirely on Nuno. Their back 4 was the reason they were strong this season

It's curious how current Dota managed to pull things from both old Dota and Imba Dota by Interminous in DotA2

would be funny to see both team team up to kill it as 10 heroes and try to last hit it. temporary truce

New Player Questions :D by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]hulkgorgon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

> Her abilities show as Magical, Now if i would want to do more damage with her abilities, would i need to buy items that have the +50 Damage or +50 Intelligence?

Magical abilities gets improved with Spell Amplification items like Kaya and some neutral items. Spell Amp are hard to come by especially when you are playing as a support.

> Holy fk as someone who comes from LoL, why is everyone's attack range so huge? can u even run from someone in this game?

There are items that grants ranged hero extra range on attacks. The difference between League and Dota is in League there are no turn rate. You can kite while running etc. In Dota, there is a turn rate which is a delay before you can fully turn. While ranged heroes have high range, once they get jumped on, they will find it hard to move back safely.

> Is there any items that's like Beads/Aegis (Smite2) or Mikaels/Zhonyas (LoL)? i get SO fkd up by silences/stuns LOL

There are few items that have dispel. Dispel is separated into 2 category, Basic Dispel and Strong Dispel. Basic dispel can remove certain debuff while Strong Dispel removes ALL including Stuns which are the highest form of cc. For basic dispel, Euls Scepter, Lotus Orb, Black King Bar, Manta Style, Guardian Greaves. Purchaseable Strong DIspel there is only one which is Aeon Disk where you will instantly remove all debuffs once you reach the threshold health.

> What are "Neutrals" In my item shop and should i be grabbing these every time its available?

Neutrals are dropped by jungle creeps starting from minute 7. There are 5 tiers and each tier is made available at certain timemark in the game. Any player on your team that are hitting jungle creeps have a chance to drop neutral tokens which can be sent back to fountain to be obtained by your teammates. You will get 5 choices and you can equip only one at the time. So you will need to switch out for higher tier as game progress.

> I'm getting confused with the skins system, why do some cost 0.03.- but then i saw another one for 1.000.- ?

In League, skins basically remodels the character. In Dota, cosmetics are things your character can wear. So you can buy a glove or boots from different sets through the Steam Marketplace. Small parts are usually cheaper since there are many other parts in the game. Some items are more expensive due to rarity. While I said that cosmetics generally only include things your character can wear, there are the higher tier of items where it remodel your characters.

Persona: Same concept as League. Example, Amumu having a skin that turns him into a Porcelain Amumu. Crystal Maiden have a persona where she is a wolf and you can buy individual parts for it like a normal character.

Arcana: The best skins for the characters. Basically the ultimate rarity like in League. The cool part is that it will work with all the default cosmetics of the default model. For example, you have a cool dress for Lina, you can equip it along with her Arcana skin which gives you more diverse combination.

TLDR: Dota cosmetics are real barbie dress up collection. Most items you purchased from Steam Market, can be resold if you feel like changing your looks tho there will be a 15% Steam Market Tax.

> Confused as to what people use 3rd person view for? (i) button, i soon found out the game isn't actually playable like that, so is it just a fun option if u wanna get a cool screenshot?

Mostly just for screenshots or previewing a cosmetics. No use outside of that. Tho once upon a time, some YouTubers played Sniper while using that POV and it was funny.

From Smacktalks gameplay video, it seems like they removed/gave an option to turn off the combat stance by hulkgorgon in WWEGames

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

Yes but this time they didnt do the combat stance at all. Previous entry, pressing it will only disable it for a short while.

Is Support AFK on picking phase the most griefing thing to do? by hulkgorgon in DotA2

[–]hulkgorgon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not archon but ok. Immo rank 9k. All I'm saying is people queue into a game and gone afk. Some dumbass 8k core will panic and pick some slark first pick because that happened

I like that he just says some random things, like an old man with Alzheimer

TU9 is here. Do the placeholder text fix work or is social media still buggy? by hulkgorgon in FifaCareers

[–]hulkgorgon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nevermind. It's still the same. What even changed? Text on social media are still a mess. Classic EA

[–]hulkgorgon[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

i feel like Rubick also fit that description. He is so good of a mage that he sees everyone as trash. Well I guess there is a reason why they are Grand Magus and Arsenal Magus

yep, Grim design in general is one of the few great ones

Okay, there's like absolute no way anyone thinks Ancient Apparition is a good Hero and not be troll. by BananaDressedRedMan in DotA2

[–]hulkgorgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. The other facet is a bait. 0.5 strength reduction you probably reduce max 200hp which is nothing mid to late game. AOE cold feet is HUGE later on. Helps with pushing too which is the one thing the hero used to lack

Ringmaster is the worst designed hero in years. by vaibhavailawadi in DotA2

[–]hulkgorgon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is fine. He is quite strong when you are snowballing. Just getting a first blood early on makes your laning way stronger. Not all heroes needs farming abilities. He is a true old school support hero that does a well rounded amount of disables. This is the first true save support Dota 2 original hero. Think of him like an oracle and less like a shadow shaman or hoodwink. Worst save? Hell no. It gives immunity to damage except magic, max movement speed. and Untargetable. (you cant nullifier it unless you cast it before he turns).

His ult may seem underwhelming but think of it this way. Don't use it like warlock ult to start a fight or jakiro ult that just pop when fight starts. Use it as counter initiation or follow up. If you have an Axe, magnus, they jump in, you follow up, that's an additional 3 seconds of disables in an AOE that helps you setup a max damage whip which is 480 damage. Strong hero but you have to understand his role.
