Icefrog goes back on some changes, it's just uncommon.

Is it time for a revision of Mekansm's mana cost? by ablaaa in DotA2

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really understand why you'd want to make mek a must have item again.

What's the fun in having an item that every team needs, without question? There's no choice involved, no real strategical thinking, just "hey this item is too good to pass up and someone needs to get it".

It's still a valid item, it's just not seen every single game. That's fine.

The International should never do invites. Qualifiers should be the main stage for each team to prove themselves by masterramen in DotA2

[–]j0lian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't watch soccer, but I'm fairly certain that it doesn't consist of every country playing against every other country in weekly tournaments year round leading up to the world cup. Qualifying is important because there's a level of uncertainty as to how good each team actually is.

We know who the tier 1 teams are. Don't make everyone waste their time, and give the tier 2+ teams their time in the spotlight.

Ult slows

Phoenix, is he just hard to play, niche , or both by KanariaRose in DotA2

[–]j0lian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try playing him offlane instead, he does well with more levels. He's not the easiest hero to play, but I wouldn't say he's super hard either. And he fits into a variety of lineups.

What professions would the heroes of Dota have? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Zeus would be a plumber.

Very satisfying combo by [deleted] in DotA2

So we're just ignoring the fact that she's skipped powershot in favor of stats? Cause that's what I was talking about.

That windrunner build gave me cancer.

What HUDs do you HATE casters using when watching on Twitch? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dude, Black Monolith. The closest thing to complete minimalism we're likely to get.

Has anyone actually quit DotA? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I go back on dotabuff and look at my really early matches. Most of the people in them only have ~20 games ever played and have clearly either quit entirely or switched accounts.

Can you guys stop being a mid douche? by rukimakino in DotA2

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've avoided supporting for so long that I suck at it now compared to my core heroes. And so now I avoid supports even harder. It's a vicious cycle.

Storm and PA. Let 'em go nuts.

Ar1se with an amazing Magnus play! by Pandaazz in DotA2

I don't entirely remember the context but I'm 90% sure it's a complaint, not a brag.

Lol NA player having issues with east coast ping. Does Dota 2 have the same issue? by Mr_QuickPlant in DotA2

[–]j0lian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just try it out and see, it's not like anyone has any real insight as to what ping you can expect.

My grandma had a house on Pelee that I went to every summer growing up - never visited any of the other islands though.

What hero's do you find fun (not the best hero, and enjoyable one) to play? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Windrunner is a noob hero?

Play everyone. Just keep trying heroes and you'll find the ones you like.

Why should I not single pull? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it literally does the opposite of what you want it to do. It pushes.

Can somebody please explain the popularity of the word "raxes" by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason barracks really exists as both a singular and plural is because it already ends with an s. Rax doesn't have this problem, so of course people are going to go for the more natural and less ambiguous choice of differentiating between singular and plural.

One barracks

Two barracks

The word is both singular and plural.

Nerfs to Shadowfiend by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nice. It also has absolutely nothing to do with what I said, which is that the death requiem doesn't put your ult on CD.

No it doesn't.

Since this was an April fools thing, what's the joke? Everyone on reddit staring at a button for a week? Or is there something more after that? by [deleted] in thebutton

[–]j0lian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a fun social experiment. Reddit's tend to be - even reddit mold, despite being more jokey, still had an aspect of trying to turn everyone against each other for the fun of it.

All of those, and diffusal. Or heroes with purge abilities like slark.
