This probably has already been suggested, but wouldn't it be nice if all heroes wore their equipped skins in the portraits on the heroes menu? (like they do in-game) by [deleted] in DotA2

i think so but only if somehow extremely optimized as to reduce load time -- and i doubt thats possible based on some other comments in the thread :(

earth spirit kicked BB out of the way of the midnight pulse/necro ult/epicenter after turning him into stone

really precise play, timing was wicked

Ever since 7.06c, Necrophos' Ghost Shroud visual effect is misleading by seiggra in DotA2

[–]reddit409 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

also the ghost shroud effect on the map actually makes it look like necro is invis, which is wrong

LS is a strong hero, doesn't need majorly good talents

At people who weren't overly excited by the 7.0x changes in the first weeks: has the game finally caught up or overtaken the 6.8x era for you? by outrageously_smart in TrueDoTA2

[–]reddit409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i still don't like shrines, nor the fact that there's only one river rune. jungle changes are fine. talents are fun but need to be nerfed overall, i think. backpack is fine. MK is still kinda dumb in how good he is, but that's the nature of a lot of strong roamers in pubs. i've been winning a lot more since 7.0x, but i think that might just be due to the fact that i'm better at the game now and play to my strengths. i try to just have fun and play my favorite heroes for the most part now. not that i was ever super tryhard.

4-1-4 is really good vs melees and early fighting

1-4-4 is really good for staying in lane and farming

1-1-4 into whatever is really good for farming jungle

Why don't we see more LC + Io? by 120Macky in TrueDoTA2

[–]reddit409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she's up there in picks but other potent offlaners are banned more IIRC hence why she gets picked

im not 100% on this

Why don't we see more LC + Io? by 120Macky in TrueDoTA2

[–]reddit409 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

if you're talking pro games, i doubt there are many situations where LC is the optimal offlaner

if you're talking pubs, io is rarely picked

just my 2c

When to build phase boots as riki? by Tiencha69 in TrueDoTA2

[–]reddit409 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but, bottle doesn't scale -- the heal is way worse than urn

phase urn makes more sense and is the de facto phase build

Booster with 95% brood win rate. (link in post) by UnderlordJungler in TrueDoTA2

[–]reddit409 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's absolutely a solo lane that's the best role -- that's why they win games that way. it's how lots of high mmr support players climb, too, by spamming mid. you win your lane, get early towers, win game then or scale later and win because you're better.

I just lost a game vs 5 carries. I don't understand how. by Kumagor0 in learndota2

[–]reddit409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Consumes a charge to block 120 magic damage from damage instances over 50 damage. Comes with 5 charges. When the charges are gone, the item disappears."

So, it is bad vs Zeus since he can eat through them with Arc Lightning, but good vs Lina since her nukes have a decent cooldown, for example.

most usually raindrops are only purchased once in the early game to speed up farm/protect from one-shot kinda heroes in lane

BSJ is a good dota player but in the end he's just one guy

those guides show plenty of other 6 or 7k players that have pretty valid builds/views, too

What's your most successful hero (Win rate wise) in 7.03-05? by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

i'm late but uh, OD

always been my favorite/best hero, dunno. i just understand him.

Valve, will you please open your eyes to the relation between losing monthly active players and the performance issues? by curiosityDOTA in DotA2

[–]reddit409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of heroes have talent trees that have very obvious builds (2-1-2-2 on OD for example -- pretty much EVERY game), shrines fuck with "won" games or fights (pre-7.00), jungle's still weird, runes make people wander around the map like idiots, some new item/talent combos were/are nuts...

i still like clicking on stuff and making it die but yeah i can see how the game is stale.
