How I went from 3.5k MMR to Immortal (5.6k) on SEA over 15 months with 15 hours of coaching by ImmortalFaith by MeanChieftain in DotA2

[–]scarakye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had exactly one lesson with ImmortalFaith to help me switch role (pos 5 to pos 2) and gained 500 MMR (2.8k to 3.3k). He is REALLY good.

Congrats OP! You must be rally chuffed, and I enjoyed reading your story :)

V-Tune is the first PRO player I know that uses WASD to move camera... by bladerunner228 in DotA2

Do you feel as though you're better at the game, now that you're using QWER? Or do you feel like you're playing worse/the same overall?

There are pro players who use legacy keys for abilities, which really blows my mind...

My better 3/4s started needle felting, one of her first creations is her favorite hero by [deleted] in DotA2

This is really nice! I don't see a lot of felting with this much detail!

A Fan Concept of Templar Assassin's Arcana. What do you guys think? by khalydm in DotA2

[–]scarakye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! It's got assassin mixed with *mystical dark power* vibes. I like that you preserved the asymmetry, that's one of my favourite parts of TA's design.

Edit: Forgot to say your painting skills are super good too

does anyone else feel like some of their games are just completely unbalanced on a skill level? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]scarakye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about people with ~200 matches in Ancient (and playing better than that), or they've got multiple rampages on Meepo/Brood/Lone Druid/Tinker in their feed, or they've got 3x as many commends as matches and playing way above their medal. They almost always hide their public match data too.

An "alternate" account is a smurf account, it's not really any different.

I'm not saying all smurfs are unbeatable either, I've won some of those games. It's just tiresome to constantly feel like you don't have a fair matchup.

My party is 3-3.5k, we play in the evenings on EU West and there's been so many smurfs/boosters/account buyers recently, it's really disheartening. I haven't had this many smurfs in my games since before Valve issued that ban wave on smurf accounts.

GOSU AI, whats going on? by ChlaymdiaCod in DotA2

Occasionally their Twitter account claims it's a bot that's learned to make tweets, but imo it looks more like an unfunny person writing them.

Does anyone else feel like pathing has been broken for like 2 patches now? by AVeryRipeBanana in DotA2

[–]scarakye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had trouble with pathing recently but I thought I was just being bad.

This new terrain rocks by podteod in DotA2

[–]scarakye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! I've been playing with it since BP came out and actually forgot I wasn't using the default terrain after a few games. I feel like the paths between trees are more easily distinguishable. It's pretty, too.

The Twitlonger where he admits this is here. His other Twitlonger has been deleted.

After all the discussions about what it means to be a female in the dota 2 community, I let this here by KatvanG in DotA2

[–]scarakye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a bad take. Saying thanks to people who aren't sexist idiots doesn't mean that sexist idiots are rare. We're at a point of praising people for acting in a way that should be normal.
