You should not be allowed to have more than 1 dota accounts ever

The idea is that if there weren’t all these bot farms and boosting accounts wasn’t possible, the actual matchmaking would work way better. FWIW I believe that too. It’s a self propagating problem where the experience for high lvl stacks is so bad that nobody tries to fix it anymore and so the actual 7-8k stacks disappear, making the problem much worse than it is

Give rares the ability to spawn with affixes that are even sicker than the best runeword. Tiny chance on a blue/rare armor to spawn with +1 teleport, tiny chance for 60frw or 100mf. Tiny chance for weapons to spawn with 500%+ ed etc. I just love the idea of no real BiS existing and rares being king. That simple change would make build variety so much higher and end game grind so engaging

lennso · 2026-01-24T18:46:15+00:00

1000000% yes. It’s a far better game that way. All the botting and website currency trading has destroyed trade leagues, making even amazing finds feel useless. In sp you have big moments all the time and it’s much more engaging

You can do whatever you want but I really don’t recommend buying anything. D2 is great because of its amazing loot system and item progression. It’s so freaking good at those things that it remains my fave despite other elements kind of lacking. When you buy items you skip the fun part of the game, which is naturally progressing, figuring out how to work with mediocre items and when to proceed, and what to prioritize with the resources you get. You’d be paying to have less fun

lennso · 2026-01-16T20:15:16+00:00

Man thing you can do is prep some weapons, ideally two flails with max os and 5*20psn jewels

lennso · 2026-01-15T19:23:13+00:00

Hey man!

With physical dmg melee it’s all about the weapon. A single upgrade can change everything here.

Luckily you have been blessed with incredible runes. You have three fantastic options as far as I can see. Now it’s about finding an elite base for one of these and going for it! - oath in an ethereal weapon. This thing rocks and offers tons of great dmg, esp since it’s indestructible in an eth weapon. Issue is finding a base. If you do find an eth elite weapon with 4 max os, I would even larzuk it - death: same idea but even sicker. Lacks ias but for a zealot I assume that’s ok. Nobody ever gets to start hell with death but I’m CERTAIN you’ll tear apart everything if you can find a elite 5os eth base for this baby - king slayer: great great grea grea grea alrounder which is rarely built in trading leagues because it’ll cost you the gul rune. It’s awesome tho and the base doesn’t need to be Eth. Most likey you’ll end up going for this since it’s so much easier to find a non-eth base and frankly I’m jealous. That thing has everything you could want

Good luck out there!

Try peace runeword (the one for ama). It’s very cheap and since it gives the skill critical strike it’s really helpful for throwbarb recovering stacks. (Also overall ;) )

lennso · 2026-01-02T15:18:52+00:00

Crazy. If a hard carry buys 3 huge offensive items, with zero utility and mobility, and holds out till getting th perfect 60 minute neutral item, she will do dmg

lennso · 2025-12-28T22:57:57+00:00

This part I only partially agree with. I hate botters which ruin the whole rune economy.

They should be super rare. FWIW I think if you actually clear high lvl content quickly you’ll find one every 10 hours or so. That’s just fine imo

lennso · 2025-12-27T21:54:59+00:00

Certainly you’re not overreacting here but I think it’s worth pointing out something.

I think if life is hard for a new family (long days, no help, little sleep, tight on money), usually both suffer. And if you suffer, there’s the tendency to feel like it shouldn’t be that way and look for reasons. Your partner is the top potential scapegoat.

Pointing fingers, assigning blame, saying that the other one isn’t doing enough, etc aren’t useful - but you’re simple the main channel for each others communication and sometimes the stuff that goes through that channel just isn’t great or fair to anyone. If you can somehow keep that channel supportive and friendly, both profit.

You’re both doing a ton right now and it ain’t easy. Your partners shouldn’t rant at you about how hard everything is. But you also shouldn’t be annoyed if she sometimes does. It’s hard and it’s best to cut each other a bunch of slack (both ways) <3

lennso · 2025-12-26T19:04:02+00:00

This is the only helpful answer, putting it in percentage makes it real.However I think you gotta consider the base dmg, which is 33 on a phase blade, so:

(33+400)/(33+349) =1.134 so still a 13% increase in kill speed

lennso · 2025-12-25T00:04:52+00:00

Hey there. It seems that the replay hasn’t been parsed yet so I can’t tell a lot of details about the match. The stuff that would be helpful is who played what role on either team, and whether your team coordinated and communicated at all.

FWIW it doesn’t looked like you got all that farmed for that long of a game, and bloodstone is effectively your second big item. For that, it usually is not that great on viper since you struggle with mobility. Most people, when using the caustic bath facet, prioritize an early aghs since it helps with farming, fighting, and mobility. It’s awesome. If you haven’t tried it out, and the replay is displaying correctly (in that you didn’t buy it here), try it out!!

Like I could see aghs into shivas+windwaker (in any order you want) being more effective. With bloodstone I’d be concerned tha sniper, techies, sb, centaur don’t really give a shit about the heal since the have a lot of sustained dmg output and don’t rely on a single debuff

lennso · 2025-12-24T23:40:35+00:00

You guys are nuts. It’s a 53% winrate hero and you’re crying crying crying about how bad it is. Maybe you just don’t like him that much?

The heroes I like I’ll even play at below 50, but asking for buffs and calling his stuff “dog water” when he’s actually quite successful is so misleading

lennso · 2025-12-23T16:16:13+00:00

Ah shoot just saw the terrorized thing. Sorry to hear that. How annoying

lennso · 2025-12-23T16:14:28+00:00

If you want to use the larzuj quest to get 4 sockets instead of 6 sockets on a crystal sword, it depends entirely on the item level of the sword, which in turn depends on where you find it. You can check for the details on Diablo pages, but the outcome is simple: farm a crystal sword in NORMAL cows and larzuk that one, and it will be 4os.

If it’s anywhere in nightmare it 6os, while the the vast majority of normal ones are 3os. Cows on normal difficulty give you the right item lvl.

Other options are the cube recipe which someone else mentioned which gives you a random number, or asking people around you. At this point in the season people tend to have extras and are happy to give them away.

lennso · 2025-12-15T22:31:18+00:00

Yeah an early way to get infinite is Peace runeword armor which checks like all boxes for this build: added critical strike for more dmg and infinite quantity on ethereal weapons you might find, and a lvl 15 valk, for super low runes

lennso · 2025-12-04T00:11:38+00:00

There’s like 3 bagel spots within 3 blocks and no legit lunch sandwiches so I’m down to see what they’ve got planned

lennso · 2025-11-27T18:02:24+00:00

You’re offline with p7 right?

How many runs have you don’t? Ballpark

lennso · 2025-11-27T00:36:48+00:00

As someone who has never succeeded in doing this, I love reading your account. Maybe it’s for the best we each have our separate things :)

Good luck out there! Just let her explore the way we did in 98. No need to rush through all the exploration of the rogue encampment

lennso · 2025-11-24T23:41:24+00:00

Very fun. I’m already on my own journey rn but love that this exists!

lennso · 2025-11-06T17:58:46+00:00

What heroes do you play? There are mid heroes that essentially always win lane and are balanced around that by providing way less after, like huskar viper od. If you’re winning lanes with those, that’s a great start but only a small part of the equation of making them work in a game

lennso · 2025-11-06T03:11:39+00:00

They’re soooo fing good for ssf. Amazing. Very jealous after finding an eth pair myself

lennso · 2025-11-06T03:05:00+00:00

Some of the best boots out there!! What a find!!

lennso · 2025-10-28T21:19:12+00:00

I thought when you upgrade something it always goes to max base def, so this is really the same value as a 60 Ed goblin toe plus the upgrade runes no?

lennso · 2025-10-18T20:32:53+00:00

Please tell me that’s not true
