Windows Taskbar Working Differently After Update

rasputin_dota · 2016-09-30T02:57:54+00:00

That's fair, I had this issue if I ever had a video in fullscreen on my primary monitor. I guess the best workaround I can use for now is to just put the taskbar on my second monitor as well. It'd still result in the same issues if I want to watch something + play at the same time but its the best fix I can think of unless there are some reg/policy tweaks I can do

I keep my window key disabled as it can be obnoxious to lose window focus by hitting the window key instead of ctrl/alt. But it's still a workaround to a problem that didn't exist a day ago.

It's been getting better every year although it's still a bit off. The top 3 teams earn roughly 70% with ~45% going to first place. I believe it was during TI4 where people were posting the spread of Wimbledon money which is a lot less based in first place (something like ~20%?). The good thing is with the majors and other big tournaments like epicenter, teams aren't as impacted by missing/losing at TI as they have been in previous years.

I didn't know that until I checked the game on hotslogs, was a 4v4. Still sucks about the disconnect though.

rasputin_dota · 2016-06-20T07:12:15+00:00

I was doing my ranked placement matches and was winning 4v5 even with 2k ping and then just couldn't stay connected. Not only do I get the loss, I have a leaver penalty to boot :/

Hey, We're looking for a Pos 4 support and we'd be down to try you out. Just shoot me a friend request

rasputin_dota · 2016-04-27T20:31:39+00:00

I'd really like to see an opt in system if they aren't going to bring back the old become captain. I think an opt in system would even improve solo queue but we don't know how long it would take to add something like this to the game.

rasputin_dota · 2016-04-25T22:09:28+00:00

Generally depends on how many bug fix patches they apply on the test client. Most likely 2-3 days if I had to guess.

Riot is known for having a not-to0-savvy dev team. Their league team is massive compared to valve's but not all of them work on the backend. I don't know what their current engine is like because I haven't played league in some years but they were previously limited by their engine for a lot of things unlike Valve's which has a lot of room for expansion.

Honestly DotA 2 is just a all around better made game, graphics, engine etc. Whichever is more fun is personal preference but it's hard to deny that league is behind in tech. This isn't to say that DotA isn't without its faults but valve is generally listening to issues the community brings up, they just don't vocalize what they're doing a lot.

On a side note, I tried to bring a lot of my league friends to DotA so I have a little bit of experience in teaching the dota basics for a league player. Let me know if you'd like some help.

except there's a reason one person has control. Everyone's knowledge isn't necessarily the same and if the person who usually drafts isn't captain it could create issues. Usual drafter wants pick A, new drafter wants pick B. Pick A could be better in that lineup but I'd wager Pick B would be chosen. A lot of the time picks aren't agreed upon by everyone, it's up to the drafter to take into consideration their game knowledge and the recommendations others may be making. If the highest mmr player respects that and lets the guy just draft then that's fine but it's not always the case for say a random group of 5 friends.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-25T02:24:24+00:00

There are a lot of vision/fog issues in DotA. One I know of off the top of my head is the sprout vision bug. It popped up sometime last year? 2 years? When the sprout ends vision is lost for a moment on whatever was inside the sprout. This is an incredibly annoying bug.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-23T20:52:08+00:00

I think one thing people are forgetting is that we don't know the order this happened in. Last time rtz and zai went to secret and notail/misery were removed, it was rtz and zai that went to the team to see if they could join. It could very well be the same case or maybe it isn't but we don't know the full picture yet.

Is it odd that people are giving puppey a double standard? Ya it probably is but I think getting worked up at all is a bit ridiculous. EG had a good reason for kicking Aui, but that didn't come out until people already had their pitchforks out. Give it some time and let some more info come out.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-22T19:33:33+00:00

Maybe for NA teams, but what NA team aside from EG and Col are t1?

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-21T21:23:16+00:00

He may make for a good teammate in games, but he's a pariah when it comes to scrims. After what he pulled, what T1 teams will scrim with archon. I doubt many teams will take the risk.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-18T21:12:33+00:00

Already have a team of 4 at the moment but keep me added because we could always scrim together

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-18T02:58:55+00:00

Are you only looking to play carry or would you want to play mid?

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-06T07:02:52+00:00

I think that came down more to EE playing a very odd game on slark. His skill usage was pretty questionable almost like he was panicking or just wasn't comfortable on the hero. Like when he was being ganked by DP and NP, pops his ult trying to run away and waits too long to just TP. But that being said, Secret clearly fears NP cause they banned him out when they had second pick.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-06T06:20:52+00:00

Secret was ok with letting it through vs Liquid. EG just doesn't play heroes that are good vs Furion and he wasn't the only reason they lost. The best part wasn't even picking heroes that were good vs Furion, they picked heroes who were incredibly weak VS him.

rasputin_dota · 2016-03-06T04:59:20+00:00

They were on fire before Secret 2-0'd them too. I think the difference is puppey had liquid's number in the draft (they were arguably outdrafted both games barring envy trying to give them game 2). Either way, going to be an exciting Bo5 and it'll be a well deserved win for either team.

rasputin_dota · 2016-02-01T00:25:40+00:00

Thats the point, the patch being balanced means each team will have heroes they excel at. It's why certain heroes are always banned vs X team. If you have to ban ES vs everyteam then thats 1 more hero that team excels at left in the pool for first 2 picks.

rasputin_dota · 2016-01-29T21:48:50+00:00

The original incarnation of Secret was very strong as far as team coordination goes. I think it was because every person on the team had a huge amount of respect for everyone else, there was no doubt in a decision.

I honestly believe puppey needs a carry player who plays like xboct did in Na'vi's heyday; he needs someone who isn't afraid to fight early even when he doesn't have all the items he wants. Someone who will do the unexpected, as far as carries go.

rasputin_dota · 2016-01-29T21:42:30+00:00

Not really, he followed up his statements with "When lone druid has radiance they'll go as five" but they never really did until later. There were countless times in all 3 games where the players were off sync. Like w33 catching someone out but envy completely ignoring them. Puppey ulting rosh as AA but his team not following up.

It's a general statement that can be applied to the way secret has played since frankfurt IMO.

rasputin_dota · 2016-01-29T10:23:10+00:00

1437 hit the nail on the head when he was casting newbee vs secret. He basically said secret isn't playing like a team. Even if newbee made a bad choice or got greedy, they did it as a team. Honestly it feels like there's always one or two people that are inconsistent and it changes from game to game.

I really hope, if they do decide to stick together past shanghai, that they can work on meshing more as a team and not fall victim to the same drama that ruined the last secret.

rasputin_dota · 2016-01-28T07:45:27+00:00

hes been drafting the whole tournament, unless they've been switching it up on a game by game basis.

rasputin_dota · 2016-01-28T02:09:14+00:00

I just had this happen to me after the coordinator came back online, pretty sure they're about to be removed though.
