Dota 2 General Chat XXII - Heros aren't the only things being remade... - Games

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;40148210]i have finally gotten more wins then losses the matchmaking gods have been kind[/QUOTE] My losses are catching up to my wins, they aren't being kind to me.

I've been on a +20-ish W/L ratio for more than a month now, currently sitting on +28. [url]http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/6/64/Wdoc_level_08.mp3[/url]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person with a positive W/L [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4081470/53.02.png[/img] Been sitting at about 53% for a few months now... Must be doing something right at least.

Thirty two wins ahead at the moment. :)

I went from 20 to 3 above losses, it fucking sucked.

I am at +28 at the moment, but the Russians are making it a tough ride.

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;40149395]Going casual vitality booster and get the ring for a hood. The vitality booster can be used later to make a heart wich any late game bristle back need.[/QUOTE] At first I thought that Bristleback took reduced damage from behind, but then I realised I was thinking about a different hero entirely. Regardless, quick percentage-based regen on a character that sends out bristles when hit from behind sounds good for retreating.

[QUOTE=Suttles;40150532]he does take reduced damage...[/QUOTE] I was about to say, did Dota Cinema lie to me?

I'm about 19 losses above wins. 38% winrate. [B]I hate everything.[/B]

[QUOTE=Suttles;40150532]he does take reduced damage...[/QUOTE] He DOES? Well then, I guess Tarrasque's better for a retreat than I thought; taking less damage from behind means more of the regenned health sticks around if someone's whaling on your backside, meaning you survive for longer and thus have a better chance of reaching your allies before you die, plus you'd theoretically be able to dish out for retaliatory Quill Sprays as you're booking it. This stratagem was taken from The Art of Running Away by Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-As-Brave-As-Sir-Sven. (that's a hint for someone to do Monty Python parodies using Dota 2 characters)

[QUOTE=Goodwell;40150613]I'm about 19 losses above wins. 38% winrate. [B]I hate everything.[/B][/QUOTE] It's heavily diluted by your massive losing streaks when you first started playing though, which shouldn't count for much... Things can only get better!

just played in the worst game of dota I have ever played two russians playing carry constantly shit talking on voice can there be a report button that grants summary execution rather than just banning

I sort of missed the part when everyone was talking about which hero models they think need to be remade, but I think AA could use one more than Venomancer. edit: Shadow Fiend could probably use some reworking too.

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40151130]just played in the worst game of dota I have ever played two russians playing carry constantly shit talking on voice[/QUOTE] My most recent game involved Russians on my team; I couldn't understand what they were saying, which was a factor in us getting our asses handed to us. Bit of a downer after getting beastly as Slark two games in a row.

Still unsure if there's going to be an update tonight, but the dota2alt1 schema got updated (which is the internal client.) Along with updated backpack sounds, there's a new set for Huskar ("Sacred Bones", [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=133372532"]my guess is this set[/URL]), and a new sword for Doom, "[URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=99250274"]Eye Of Fetitzu[/URL]".

[t]http://puu.sh/2ts7N[/t] Oh my god, what a hard game. Probably the hardest OD game ive ever played.

This is worrying. I'm not even certain if it's wednesday anymore. What year is it?

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;40151130]just played in the worst game of dota I have ever played two russians playing carry constantly shit talking on voice can there be a report button that grants summary execution rather than just banning[/QUOTE] And I lost a game because naix wouldn't jungle and started complaining when someone destroyed his armlet. He fed the rest of the game, and we lost against really bad players...

[QUOTE=That Ninja;40151767]This is worrying. I'm not even certain if it's wednesday anymore. What year is it?[/QUOTE] its not worrying valve is on holiday , it's spring break

I can't win any All Pick games recently, either my team feeds or they never push

When you're in a duo lane but your lane partner does nothing but sit and soak xp and is never aggressive but they're not playing a carry... worse than a solo lane

[QUOTE=lol user;40152480]I can't win any All Pick games recently, either my team feeds or they never push[/QUOTE] I stopped queuing for AP, just because I only randomed when I got it anyway. SD/RD/AR for life.

I almost never queue for anything that AP. SD most usually ends in horrible team comps and I never tried RD and AR.

All random is only funny when you are not in a lower-bracket cuz getting people who never played all the heroes and screw up completely is not funny(unless they are a good sport about it). That been said, its the only game-mode i play right now cuz it was favorite back in DotA, its always funny to have 5v5 carry games.

[QUOTE=maxumym;40152706]I almost never queue for anything that AP. SD most usually ends in horrible team comps and I never tried RD and AR.[/QUOTE] I highly recommend RD Less chances of your team going full carry. Only times I hate it it's when PL happens to be on the pool. I like RD over SD because someone always ends up on this situation on SD, guy has nothing but carries and everyone else has at least one support and the other heroes are farm dependant, guess what people pick instead of supports :v:

Would starting Treant with a Sage's Mask be viable at all? He has a built-in health regenerator and has some crazy mana problems, and it can easily go into the Soul Ring I'd never live without. If I buy courier/wards that still leaves me with enough money to buy some branches for stats, or even a regen item, but I'm not too sure it's a good idea.

Thing is it doesn't give the tasty, tasty mana regen I'm wanting out of the strategy, but it is still very clever.
