Dota 2 General Chat - I, for one, welcome our new Chinese overlords - Games

just had the most confusing and awesome match ive ever had. at the start i thought thing would not go great considering we had a person who random pugna and then immediately repicked meepo. we had retarded lanes and at around 20mins the meepo had like 9 deaths and there was a morphling and dark seer freefarming (and a nightstalker with an aghanims and gem so they had great vision while we had none). somehow we kept winning teamfight after teamfight and antimage was getting solidly fed. heres where the wtf starts, at about 60mins they were doing roshan that had aegis and cheese and our meepo shadow bladed in, killed roshan, picked up aegis and killed a fed morphling, dark seer and a disruptor. we were all fucking stunned as we pushed to win. dota is a crazy game

[QUOTE=Banned?;37790943]I think over time, especially after release, a lot of people will show up but the retention rate will be shit because Dota. Look at all the stories of people who try to get their friends into it. "I gave my buddy a key and he played two games and then never again." isn't uncommon. I've given some keys away and that has happened.[/QUOTE] Friend of mine who I usually played with hasn't played it ever since before TI2 because he doesn't wants to rage. Then again, all he can really play well is Viper. [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Sad.;37791180]oh shit, so that's why it showed in the side that meepo just got killed. i was allied with a meepo that had an aegis, when he was killed it showed in the announcements or shit so i went back. then he resurrected with aegis, got killed again, proceeded to flame the fuck out of me for leaving him behind :V[/QUOTE] I had to watch the replay to see what happened. I got a triple kill on qop, enigma and meepo, but it didn't make sense because meepo had aegis. I suppose this is a bug, right? [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Sarracenia;37791488]"Keep Meepo out of DotA so we can find and fix his bugs!" Released, bugs ahoy! :dance:[/QUOTE] I'd rather that he gets released, even if full of bugs. That way, the people in charge of new heroes can always fix him while also making/releasing new heroes and without stalling. [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=mitcheroo;37794275]it looks so much better - more refined[/QUOTE] Then you have no idea how awful it is to play on a screen like that :( Also, that camera view bug would be pretty sweet. I feel like the camera view should be a bit bigger like that, but probably has its "downsides"

I opened my friend's Dota 2 profile, look what i got. When i re-opened, it dissapeared.[IMG]http://cs323518.userapi.com/v323518246/26bd/L-LDXTsy3c0.jpg[/IMG]

Tidehunter is just so amazing. Just went First blood on my lane, and instead of our Queen of Pain ganking side lanes, I went on ganked mid instead. Finished the game by 37min with 9-0-25 stats, feels good man. And luckily our Gondar wasn't an idiot and actually got advantage with Track, beating the enemy Anti-mage and Phantom Assasin.

[QUOTE=Jrock455;37795057]I love how the 4:3 hud has everything packed together, I wish the 16:9 hud was like that, because I especially dont like the rock between the portrait and map[/QUOTE] I fucking hate the 16:9 hud. it takes up so much verticle space, and the minimap is so large that when I'm running away as radiant sometimes I click the top corner of it, so my hero stops and turns around before continuing his fleeing.

I love the 16:9 HUD... the only reason I would consider the 4:3 is because you can see your teammates last hits/denies. (I think?) [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] [IMG]http://puu.sh/18xjM[/IMG] This is animated too it slowly lights up and fades, looks cool.

Is there any actual difference between the 16:9 and the 16:10 HUD ?

I was told that the radiance and inmolation aura is the reason why my hero would "randomly" go into another direction, is this true and there is anything else that might cause it?

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37796842]Is there any actual difference between the 16:9 and the 16:10 HUD ?[/QUOTE]Slighty bigger rocks between the inventory/minimap and the main bar, but nothing as different as the 4:3 HUD.

[QUOTE=l l;37796607]I love the 16:9 HUD... the only reason I would consider the 4:3 is because you can see your teammates last hits/denies. (I think?) [/QUOTE] from what i heard you see more of the game with a 4:3 res.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37797698] false[/QUOTE]You used to be able to.

Wow jesus christ this Sven background looks way better than the red one.

The red background makes the swordmaster shoulder look super red and everything has this red hue from the lighting.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;37797762]Wow jesus christ this Sven background looks way better than the red one.[/QUOTE] Lots of beta portraits look a lot nicer than the current ones.

[QUOTE=dass;37798138]Lots of beta portraits look a lot nicer than the current ones.[/QUOTE] Tidehunter one was sweet, although i like the current one aswell

[QUOTE=Bordellimies;37789479][IMG]http://gyazo.com/5cf6ee8503ac60116c5e3f8db22162ac.png?1348528317[/IMG] Last record was 730 gold/min, this was quite good round. Pretty much same items as in last record game, except I didn't have BKB last game. (the rapiers Pudge and Zeus have were bought by me)[/QUOTE] Am so gonna watch that replay.

Why is Rubick so fun, even if we were losing hard I still had a good time with stealing jakiro or faceless void ult, had some crazy escapes and saves.

I just experienced the true fun of Lion Dagon 5 and Scepter. Bring it on.

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;37799889]Why is Rubick so fun, even if we were losing hard I still had a good time with stealing jakiro or faceless void ult, had some crazy escapes and saves.[/QUOTE] Even though I'm pretty jewish with my spell steals, he's really fun.

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;37799889]Why is Rubick so fun, even if we were losing hard I still had a good time with stealing jakiro or faceless void ult, had some crazy escapes and saves.[/QUOTE] It's pretty funny to throw their own stuff at their faces :v: Also, whats the deal with pudge. Why does everyone play him ffs 3 games, 3 pudges, always on the other team.

gah i tried playing AM and since I'm used to supporting I was worried more about denying than last hitting

[QUOTE=Suttles;37801754]gah i tried playing AM and since I'm used to supporting I was worried more about denying than last hitting[/QUOTE] I feel ya, when im supporting i feel like a pro denying the FUCK out of the enemy, but when it comes to my time to shine as a carry... I miss every single last hit. it hurts.

Sigh, it's starting to turn into 1 win for every 5 losses. Shit sucks man.

[QUOTE=Suttles;37801754]gah i tried playing AM and since I'm used to supporting I was worried more about denying than last hitting[/QUOTE] Reminds me of yesterday, picked viper and focused way too much on harassing

I think I've won 2 games in the past week

Yesterday I was managed to get my invite to play Dota 2 oh boi.

I've been 10-20 victories ahead of losses for a while now.. I have lost and won a lot of matches.
