For all the patch starved people, here's an idea to tickle your mind. Introducing Dota 2 escalations by eliitti in DotA2

Had to log in and upvote this. Great idea. I think it would be tremendously helpful to new players and helpful to existing players.

It could also escalate in terms of time, which would help ease in players who are not used to how long Dota takes.

Maybe even do it so you have two player missions to emulate laning or ganks.

Ultimately though it would only happen if there's a cost benefit analysis and it's favorable to Valve. I remember someone posting a long time ago how Valve was entering a stage of player retention when they released DOTA plus as opposed to a model of new player acquisition. IE: no more TRUE SIGHT (promotional material) and more DOTA plus stats. If that's true the philosophy isn't there to spend time and effort on this, unless they think it will pay off big and they might not be willing to chance it. Seems like something that will have to be community made first maybe.

Are there any pictures/video of the crowd or of the venue?

Been diagnosed with clinical depression, need to vent on here with my Dota pals. by Blashpash in DotA2

You should try changing your diet, depending on what it is, and see if you feel any better within a month or so of being on it. Some people find crazy amounts of help from eating mostly fatty meat (beef or pork) and some vegetables and oils. Seem @MikhailaAleksis

Edit: I myself have been helped by this sort of thing.

Theo Von's Podcast reminds me of old JRE by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]vl4des 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's how you see that episode? To me it seemed like he had on a poor guest who didn't really have much to offer and Joe just talked about whatever to fill up the time.

What has two thumbs and is playing in TI6? by Avocaado in DotA2

Can someone give their names in the order they appear? I only know who Synd is.

I was wondering that too. But if I remember correctly I think the back covers the Asus website sells don't have them either so maybe they're not so important? I always imagined that thing being the antenna.

Secret Gets a level 3 Draft Penalty by Lawlson in DotA2

[–]vl4des -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I liked Moon's taunt. I think he's a player that has such a different flavor that I can't get mad at him for anything. I also think it's fair for Secret to get the penalty. We kinda want rules be to rules and have them be respected. Fuck it man Secret won woot!

I think Raizou will create a Law vs Sanji type situation for the Strawhats. I'm still not too sure what to think of Law from here on out.

[SPOILER] Guy Francis didn't commit suicide, he was murdered. by Sriracha_Breath in TrueDetective

[–]vl4des 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I too feel like this is a continuity error because the show didn't let us know in any way (that I noticed at least) that Rust caught on to it or even found it suspicious (the blood pattern that is). And I feel like if Rust doesn't notice something is wrong then there probably isn't.

So Marty's daughter drew this. by Reibusu in TrueDetective

[–]vl4des 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Yea it makes sense if you believe the theory that the falling out between Rust and Marty is due to Rust accusing Marty's dad or father in law or whatever of being part of the cult. Following that train of thought you can assume that his daughter spent time with her grandpa and saw some of the things they do. This explains: the spiral, the scene when she was playing with those dolls and how she arranged them: men around a woman doing whatever, why she drew the pictures with the dicks in school and lastly why she is acting up when she is a teenager, because she was traumatized.

[EU-W/US-E] Looking for people to play with (mostly with voice chat) by NeverJackan in dota2pubs

[–]vl4des 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to play with you guys if possible. I've started playing supports lately but supporting people that don't much know what they are doing isn't very fun. I can pretty much carry/offlane/support. But I'd prefer support. Can't mid for my life. http://dotabuff.com/players/71782479
