Defense of the Ancients 2: General Chat XIX 6.77c Coming Soon - Games

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;39978697]The concede button is only available with French language settings[/QUOTE] I'm forced to play in english so my origins don't tempt me to press it.

[QUOTE=Petachepas;39978698]Well, having mana problem and not surviving long enough. Not having a good item build. Are those reasons enough?[/QUOTE] Having a ring of aquila on clockwerk worked for me for the entire game, don't know if its a proper build but it gave me tons of mana regen. All you need is a good combo or good pick off and you win the next teamfight.

[QUOTE=Prism;39978683]how can you even be "not useful" with clockwerk[/QUOTE] My last game as Clock. Our team : 4 carries and me Enemy team : Tide and 4 carries I was the one who took all the beating, kept enemy Warlord away from my team, bought wards ,etc. I think I even barely got my necronomicon, boots and wand by 60 minutes. Most assissts and a shitload of deaths from saving allies. Though, while saying that, it turns out I was useful to help them outcarry enemy team, but I doubt anyone of them would say a nice thing like that. +Long shot flare on Troll running to his fountain, so all is good.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;39978697]The concede button is only available with French language settings[/QUOTE] Merde. Though I did run into a 4 man brazil team once while solo'in, and I think all 4 were stoned off their butts All they did was laugh, troll eachother, troll me and do crazy unfitting tacticalary etc. In the end they just fed :v:

I was just in a very funny match. Premade 5 team on the other side all russian. They failed like bricks, alchemist farmed up a divine though..... I was a Bounty hunter so we hunted his ass down and I grabbed the divine. That feel when you have a 1200 damage crit on a templar and almost instant kill her and finish her with your shuriken. 5 winning spree, this isnt going to end pretty...

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;39978784]Clockwerk is the second most suicidal hero next to Techies. His job is literally to lock the biggest threat in with himself so his team can rape that guy.[/QUOTE] you forgot locking a snowball onto their carry as tusk BEEP BEEP I'M A JEEP COMING AT YOU AT 200/MPH

[QUOTE=Banana-man;39979353]you forgot locking a snowball onto their carry as tusk BEEP BEEP I'M A JEEP COMING AT YOU AT 200/MPH[/QUOTE] Nobody picks tusk anymore, which is sad because I picked him up and he's fucking insane. Everything you do is so god damn fast paced I feel like I'm playing an action game.

[QUOTE=leonthefox;39976946]Speaking about matchmaking, was reading some complains about it yesterday, how matchmaking forces you to 50% winrate, and someone asked for a source about that, only reply was a link to dota dev forums and saying how all the threads about matchmaking were basically the same. Is there solid proof that you are basically forced to 50%? also wondering if the devs will change that someday[/QUOTE] Math time! Suppose that matchmaking is fair. What are the chances that you have a winrate near 50%? Let each match be a random event, with even chances for victory or failure. We can model this as a binomial distribution. If n is the number of games we have played and p is the probability that we win. Our variance would then be: n*p*(p-1) = .25*n. The square root of that gives us our standard diviation. We can use the normal curve to approximate this distribution. So, if you have played 400 games, the standard diviation of your victories is 10. This means that there is a 68% chance your winrate will be between 47.5% and 52.5%, and a 95% chance your winrate is between 45% and 55%. The chance of getting a winrate over 60% just by being lucky is .003%, which means only 9 in 300,000 players are expected to have such a winrate. This range will only decrease the more games played. TD;DR : Most people should winrates close to 50% if they play enough games.

[QUOTE=ThatSprite;39979371]Nobody picks tusk anymore, which is sad because I picked him up and he's fucking insane. Everything you do is so god damn fast paced I feel like I'm playing an action game.[/QUOTE] he's a pretty easy hero to learn too. I'd think he could fit in the new player hero pool, to be honest. A straight forward combo, a decent stun, not much of a mana issue if you don't spam all day, a nice finisher/indirect slow and he's just a fun character design wise. The only odd thing for new players I guess is that snowball carries allies with it, which might be bad for new players.

so can we hope for skywrath mage tonight / tomorrow / friday or do we prepare for another week of BOTS AND BOTFIXES

[QUOTE=soderholm13;39979554]so can we hope for skywrath mage tonight / tomorrow / friday or do we prepare for another week of BOTS AND BOTFIXES[/QUOTE] 6.77c parity is a fair bet to start with.

- Lich Bot no longer considers Roshan as a target for Sacrifice - Tidehunter Bot no longer uses Ravage when jungling - To simulate public games better, bots will now camp the enemy fountain if victory is certain

I actually think we'll get Elder Titan before Skywrath.

triple hero patch

We can always hope.

[QUOTE=Supersheepie;39979621]I actually think we'll get Elder Titan before Skywrath.[/QUOTE] hell no, skywrath's way more finished than elder iirc, icons and he has been a unit in the game for quite a while too

[QUOTE=soderholm13;39979554]so can we hope for skywrath mage tonight / tomorrow / friday or do we prepare for another week of BOTS AND BOTFIXES[/QUOTE] we're actually waiting for bristleback and legion commander i think i mean it sucks that they've delayed skywrath compared to the timing of each previous new hero that have been common, but it'll be good to not have to have a fortnight of people instalocking the one hero in pubs

I want techies :(

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;39979781]I want techies :([/QUOTE] an ongoing joke between friends and I is screaming techies added every patch i cry every time it isn't true

I think they want a triple hero update, but Elder Titan seems not quite as far as Bristleback or Skywrath. But maybe we'll be surprised this week

[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;39979781]I want techies :([/QUOTE] And they better have BFF lines for when they're laning with Tiny/getting tossed. Or else I'll deal with it and keep playing.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39979867]I think they want a triple hero update, but Elder Titan seems not quite as far as Bristleback or Skywrath. But maybe we'll be surprised this week[/QUOTE] I can't wait for a whole week of people bitching on the dev forums about no hero rather than actually reporting bugs so Valve can fix them

[QUOTE=Kiq;39979900]And they better have BFF lines for when they're laning with Tiny/getting tossed. Or else I'll deal with it and keep playing.[/QUOTE] i just imagined wc3 techies screaming weeeeeeeeeeee as they're going through the air adorable. adorable, AND crazy

I want Skymage and Phoenix. Abaddon, Techies and Legion Commander are going to be amazing in pubs lol

I am so tremendously tierd of facepunchers who constantly say they want techies in every post and then probably when they come out will have no actual idea how to play them and just immediately stop :v:. Its reminds me a huge amount of when medusa was on the way.

I hope they rework/nerf Techies' mines so that we won't end up with the same spastics as in dota who do nothing but mine the runes/junglecamps and end up without farm and 10 levels behind the rest.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;39980191]The same thing happened with meepo too. Although to be fair, we have one person that plays Meepo religiously, *cough* jwj *cough*[/QUOTE] Hey. I fucking love Meepo. He is the epitome of fun to play, in the sense that you drastically outlevel everyone else, and pretty much rape if you're skilled enough at micro. The only hero I play more than him is Ogre Magi, because gambling is fun.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39979867]I think they want a triple hero update, but Elder Titan seems not quite as far as Bristleback or Skywrath. But maybe we'll be surprised this week[/QUOTE] Elder Titan seemed to be further than Bristle for a bit but they are about the same completion wise I'd say. All three heroes do have the mockup select icons and broke up/item ready models and textures.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;39980190]The Hour of Disappointment draws near, or does it? Will we finally get more heroes after the god-knows-how-long of nothing for no reason?[/QUOTE] Just expect nothing. It's the only way to avoid a big letdown. Do I want a multi-hero update? Of course! Will it happen? Hell no! If I'm right, no letdown. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to be wrong, and we get a multihero update. The key is to be pessimistic about it, cause then if you're ever surprised, it's always pleasantly surprised!

got a octopus hat for tide
