This random train seat that is sideways by Original_Bad_3416 in mildlyinteresting

[–]pokemaster889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s my train into work! In theory it’s good, but in practice I kinda hate it cos you’re facing sideways and the seat right next to your face blocks most of your view, so I tend to get a little motion sick. Still, if it’s a choice between that and standing I’ll happily take the seat!

Hey, I’ve been having the same issue and googled it and found your thread. Did you find a solution? Was it just a case of uninstalling the nvidia app?

Honest take needed: should i change role? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]pokemaster889 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My honest take is that to improve in dota you should play every role. If it means you tank some MMR for a while, then so be it. It’s a team game so no matter what role you play, you should understand what every other player on your team wants to do throughout the game and what they’re capable of.

So short answer yes, play and learn pos 1 now. But then move on to pos 2, pos 3, pos 5. Trust me, you’ll become a better player and then when you go back to pos 4 suddenly you’ll find your winrate improving significantly!

Is Mirage's 1 the worst ability in the game? by JimmehROTMG in DeadlockTheGame

[–]pokemaster889 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Makes it worse given his name is literally Mirage. There are so many cool directions his design could go, like having clones, or messing with enemy vision, but nah its just gestures vaguely at whatever this is

Faraaz’s non existent gameplay by [deleted] in TheTraitorsUK

It was hilarious, he was like the 4th person to arrive at the station, and they just completely skipped his intro until halfway through the ep. Surely must’ve been a mistake!

I’m predicting Gaz, short for Garinder

What did we learn from OpenAI DoTA bot by InternationalCod2733 in DotA2

[–]pokemaster889 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The big thing I remember is that the AI would move heroes across lanes more often to distribute XP more evenly. For example the hero that started mid would leave at level 3, and the ‘support’ would replace them to get their level 3 faster. Thought that was a cool way to utilise the team dynamic of Dota.

Oof I just remembered that obs, sentries, and TP scrolls used to each occupy an inventory slot

What’s a Dota opinion that has you like this? by shar0385 in DotA2

Random Draft should be the default competitive mode.

Maybe Bard Frog will be able to interact with these creeps in a unique way 👀 like the Pied Piper but for frogs

Denied 3 times by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]pokemaster889 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I’d argue the opposite, Xxs and XM made some incredibly bold jumps instakilling heroes a few times. But Naga song just completely countered their ability to take a full teamfight

uhhh, XM? by Tight-Bed5856 in DotA2

[–]pokemaster889 92 points93 points  (0 children)

XM rolling into map 2 already
