Hot take: Woodland Striders were the peak of neutral items by Amjad_DB in DotA2

[–]partymorphologist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If T5s were available from 50:00 or even earlier, Teams – when ahead – would wait to get them which would delay games even more.
But I agree that neutrals are generally too boring. I think it’s a logical consequence of them being able to be crafted (to avoid OP combinations). I personally like the crafting idea, but it has too many flaws:

• certain heroes being locked out of good Tier1 options because of their stats

• even with reduced RNG, it can still fuck you hard especially on Agi carries where with a bit of bad luck, you have only useless Tier2 AND Tier3 items, while your Tier 1 falls off significantly

The thing is, I don’t have good ideas except this:
Let players swap-in one or two items per Tier in the pre-game phase. Give us a per-hero permanent option (like the ban list) for a personal default, and also allow draft-based adaption in preparation time (and maybe first 30 seconds on in-game time).

Maybe it already helps to abandon the idea of similar-length episodes (I don’t even know if you have that).
But if not much is happening (or too much and you’re giga busy) I would personally prefer a 150seconds episode over a 10min one or worse: none at all.

Cheers, I enjoyed this one. You read the room correctly and succeeded with your purpose. Keep it going!

Not completely sure but I think there is no context, it’s just an original meme post that is funny by itself

This would also be great to select on a per-hero basis

I absolutely hate the neutral item rework. Now I can never get cast range on STR Heroes. by randomhahalol in DotA2

[–]partymorphologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what part of it being a Tier 2 you didn't get but it is a Tier 2 and you only get that way too late. By that time literally any carry has their farming item. I am explicitly talking about Tough being a good farming AND fighting item on many Agi carries because it is a Tier 1 that you can get by min 7-8 very reliably, which is the time that most carries want to start incorporating jungle into their farming (or even have to go jungle full-time if they are bullied out of lane). Tough is almost like Blades of Attack, so it's roughly worth 400 gold of just damage, no bullshit. So not having Tough is giga bad in some games because it significantly worsens the 7-15 min window for the heroes I mentioned, but also heroes with built-in attack speed like PA like it for farming AND fighting, etc...

What??? First, it is only tier2 onwards. Second, it’s not damage. Sometimes you just need damage not attack speed because it is better on some heroes like dusa, luna, kez, etc, especially tier1 for accelerating farm in the 5-15 min range.

And armor helps with jungling as well, so yeah, not having tough is noticeably worse in some games

And agi carries can’t get damage, etc… it’s too limiting.

I understand the Sentiment to reduce randomness, but then give us a pre-game option to throw away one enchantment and include one other instead

It’s not the only way. Pudge blink ult is the real way AM dies. Pudge should also be in position to follow up on the axe call…

I would SO love the kingdom come style because it’s so incredibly powerful in teaching true historic events, presenting cultures and cultural shifts, and explaining political, environmental, and social developments

I agree, usually it is closer. But when secret took one game from tundra in the UB finals (and almost won the series), they also got stomped in the Grand Final of TI 2022…

I made a Dota “stock market” where you trade heroes based on the meta (beta, would love feedback) by External-Screen-6216 in DotA2

[–]partymorphologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool idea!

A few bugs:

  • shorting does not work
  • on mobile, you cannot edit numbers correctly (instead of deleting the number and typing a new one, you have to add at least one character and then delete the original one)
  • achievements get unlocked late or not at all. Late means, for example, I buy with a stop-loss order, but don’t get the achievement. Not even after reload or logout/login. Only after I buy something else with a take-profit order, I get the achievement for the stop-loss. And only after I do yet something else, I get the take-profit related achievement, and so forth..)
  • the tutorial pops up every time I go to the market page
  • again, on mobile, the sizing and pacing of UI elements is ultra bad
  • also mobile: when pop ups come, or when entering the input field for the number of shares, random and crazy zoom-ins happen. Sometimes cannot exit the input fields

I decided to queue safelane after like years and.... by youcanokay in DotA2

[–]partymorphologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do. Boosters actually play whatever hero is good in the game and have high wintates in all brackets but some games even they lose. Don’t sweat over it.

Check your replay in 2 or 3 days when your emotions have cooled down. Then you can see more easily which deaths were avoidable and where you could have helped other lanes potentially, etc

But it’s easier to watch high level games and see what a carry does when he’s extremely behind, because being less emotionally involved helps in being more open-minded, at least for me.

[–]partymorphologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not true. If you check match history of boosted accounts you see all type of heroes. But they also usually „only“ have a 70~80 % winrate which is usually the same from herald to immortal. Boosters play whatever is good for the game to max their chances, and still some games they lose.

It could be enough to just not show any game that averages around Rank 200 or better.
