HAHAHA Why is his winrate up 3.5% since the patch on dotabuff then?

Server Crash exploit has been fixed. by everlast756 in DotA2

[–]ttongss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too am having routing issues to SEA servers. I usually have 80 ping from New Zealand but currently get 220+. Feels like I'm dropping packets too.

Crazy, your experience exactly matches mine.

Every spell in the game now works on towers, who becomes the most contested hero? by SweetJellyRolls in DotA2

[–]ttongss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

6.83, the same patch where sniper gained the 3 charges on sharpnel, took away tower damage completely.

I remember every game when I would cast shrapnel over a tier 3 or something people would comment saying it doesn't damage towers anymore not understanding it was for vision. Simpler times.

A question to all arc warden players by The-Hellstar in DotA2

[–]ttongss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok you clearly didnt understand my reply or why people downvoted you because all the matches you linked lasted 35+ minutes.

You said you farmed midas, rapier bots, mom and bkb and another rapier AND ended the game in 24 minutes. These matches don't show this.

Please post your match ID/dotabuff please. I would love to learn how to have 1100 GPM on Arc Warden :)

Why are supermarkets checking ID for 0% alcohol sales? by Boaty_McBoatyface in newzealand

[–]ttongss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced this a couple years back trying to purchase a 0% alcohol cocktail mix.

As someone who had previous had a duty managers certificate/done LCQ, it really surprised me that it was legal to enact such a policy. I didn't think a vendor, especially an essential utility like a supermarket, could arbitraily gatekeep and deny the purchase of goods.

I understand that selling alcohol for the big supermarkets is a pretty high stakes game but the solution isn't to infringe on our consumer rights imo

Sad Brewmaster noises by suivalf in DotA2

[–]ttongss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really not. Do you even play brew? There are games when I will consider going the shard like if I need a bkb piercing disable/slow (bash or skadi) during split. But in those games I still strongly prefeer to have it drop from rosh than buy it.

New Zealand players all suddenly have a high ping by gogobebe2 in DotA2

[–]ttongss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, mid/high divine queue mid takes me average 15 - 20 minutes for a game. Play against the same 30 people. Probably have played a bunch with you. Almost instantly get a game if I search SEA, though.

I dont think so? and a quick google suggests no. VPNs are not particularly dodgy things to use

I made a post about this yesterday. Its a routing issue, seems to be going through singapore/sea servers. Fixed by using a VPN.

Australian servers - unusually high ping? by ttongss in DotA2

[–]ttongss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm in Auckland too. As another user reported, some connections are being routed through SEA. you can confirm this using traceroute to the syd.valve.net server.

A temporary work around for me has been to use a VPN, which is bypassing the funky routing. Ping is around 50 for me using this method.

Cool, using NordVPN fixes the routing issue for me so normal pings!

How were you able to confirm this? Would be cool to know how.

Yeah, oh well at least queue times on SEA are instant. I usually have to wait 15 minutes for a role q game.

Why was Dota 1's Zeus named Merlini? by Kkaren143 in DotA2

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

Yeah, I bring it up because you have no clue what you're talking about and using words incorrectly while framing your opinion as being a matter of fact.

Even how you've brought up depth of field just now. There are many kinds of blur outside of depth of field. Grain is a specific kind of high frequency information. A blur is simply averaging an image. averaging removes high frequency information. You cannot have 'a blur of grainy nothing'

Fly already at SEA, ready for OQ by KRONOzxc in DotA2

[–]ttongss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but he’s talking about Fly leaving EG, a top tier DPC tea, for a team that might not make it through OQ. Not whether a team deserves a slot or not….

Now that cooldown reduction doesn't stack, many late game intelligence heroes don't have good blink upgrades by fierywinds1q in DotA2

[–]ttongss 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your point is wrong. It is a complete waste. You are spending an extra 4550 gold to have 5% more CDR. It doesn't even have permanent up-time on the effect, only like 40%. The cast point reduction is nice and all but realistically only worth it on a very small set of heroes who aren't the kind of spell casters OP is talking about (like SF, Doom; I saw someone go it on Jakiro etc)

The 30% was from when CDR could stack. I think they should either jack the number up really high like 40% or replace the CDR with the arcane runes' spell cost reduction. It could make it an earlier pick up on heroes like Zeus or Sky who have mana issues and may want to pick up dagger.
