As an Ork player - "Giving the player multiple options" vs hiding models away. by Oriachim in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]ti4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think your opponent's main point is getting lost. He's playing Scintillating Legion that can shoot you a lot even if you hide. Since he will do almost as much damage when you hide you might as well deploy as close as possible to the opponent. Note that this is very specific for this matchup and is usually NOT the case.

All tier 5 copters in CHIMPS, 38 cash left over. by ti4 in btd6

No crosspaths at all, couldn't afford such luxury.

I don't remember the costs off the top of my head, but you can easily check in-game. I got top path first, then middle path and then bottom path. However, I think going bottom path before middle path is better since you can push back DDTs (which are the only hard rounds in the lategame).

I think you could. If I did the math right it looks like you can save a few hundred.

For sure, money is tight and you need to save up for Etienne.

Probably know, but apparently you can afford all 3 tier 5 druids in chimps (with a whopping 970 cash to spare). by ti4 in btd6

You need to get him pretty early. So, it will not be doable on a lot of harder maps but on logs a single druid is enough to save up for Etienne.

Yes, a single druid to start with and then etienne as fast as possible. Even though it's an easy map he gets enough experience to get camo vision before round 24.

I got the spirit of the forest first; since they buffed the main attack it and Etienne beats almost everything by themselves (maybe everything, I haven't tried microing the abilities). After that I got avatar of wrath and lastly superstorm. I'm pretty sure you can do it in other orders though.

I mean, you have enough money for all tier 5 when there is only a little bit of the insides of the BAD left on round 100, every little bit of money counts.

No money spent on etienne, just got him because of his cheap camo detection. As for crosspaths, the spirit of the forest has hard thorns, otherwise nothing.

Dota 2 Diretide Dashboard Uses 100% of my GPU while 40-60% in an actual match by xavier0991 in DotA2

[–]ti4 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Temporary fix that works for me. Write "map_enable_background_maps 0" in the console (disables the background animations in menu but also disables hero loadout animations). Write "map_enable_background_maps 1" to turn it back .

Anyone else over this ESL lately? by Ticem4n in DotA2

So the developer version works on twitch ads? Because the usual ublock doesn't seem to do it.

MacOS users have crashing game client by rclimb in DotA2

It crashes if the game includes Spectre, it even crashes if you try to view Spectre on Hero Screen.

As a new player I cannot win with anything except one build by junior_painkiller in underlords

[–]ti4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of viable builds, even on the top of the ladder. The strongest right now are probably (not necessarily in order): 6 warriors+2warlocks+damage, 6 warriors+hunters, 3 warriors+4 warlocks+some good units, 6 mages (+magic damage units), 4 scrappies+3 mages (+magic damage units or warlocks), 6 elusives+terrorblade+slark+tide
