Dota 2

Kind of telling that I'm more excited about ban waves now than upcoming new content.

I saw 天地星AI·固定搭配 when participating in a bot match. I googled its meaning in vain. Google translate wasn't much aid too. What does it mean?

Here is my match history for the last few games:

• 7552918956 l primal beast running alone and running into enemy alone, globally muted during game
• 7552902567 l pos 5 pudge abandon
• 7552860133 l mid necro rushes dagon ONLY, gets it at 9 mins with 4 deaths. result: 19-0 enchantress opponent on mid
• 7552767327 l long game, pos 5 grim plays very poorly, worthless items, then abandons
• 7550071221 w played as wd, lost of mistakes, played him like 5 times, team won
• 7549980733 w played as lion, same as above
• 7548787204 w 68 min game, pretty normal and close compared to that
• 7548731357 l 7-16 (lvl7 @10 mins vs lvl10 lc) mid np tping behind towers and feeding, vs 536 stack duel victory lc
• 7548485224 l pos 1 pl barely more nw than a support, dying uselessly a lot, lc afk deffensively farming triangle
• 7548416320 l everyone fed meepo, offlaner didnt know how to play his hero
• 7548356120 l cw pos 1, i wasn't good either but he felt insanely useless and died a lot
• 7548301173 l pos 1 dude was straight out afk from the start

I had more or less (rather less) success before, but in the games I lost I there is always one lc mid rushing khanda, or someone who plays their hero for the first time (believe me, I can go on)

I get someone who griefs nearly every single game, and it makes impossible to have fun during games. Worst part is that I have to play the game till the end even if there is 0 chance of any play. What am I doing wrong? In the past there were multiple occurrences of having a really good winstreak, where my team won pretty hard, and I took a good part of it. Even if it was a loss, it was something to learn from, and I could blame myself for the mistakes I knew I made, and it was somewhat close. Then I got griefers for the next matches till I lost all of my advancements.

I seriously doubt that after having such a good winrates at 1.7k mmr I reach 2k, and the skill difference is that much that I have absolutely 0 chance to win, and suddenly everyone in my team plays insanely bad, or griefs. I get a ton of uncalibrated players who usually play awful in my team

I know that I'm possibly not better then everyone, but it always feels like I'm the only one in the team that knows how to play, and nearly always feel like that I was the best in my team. I know this sounds bad, but prove me otherwise, because at this point I have no idea what to do to stop this.

My all-time lowest behavior score was 11767 (since the increase to 12k), my comms score is the same

Basic patch change, but your clone now gets destroyed by your ult and level 2 Crystal Nova. So you can trigger it whenever you want, clearing waves and jungle camps faster and more easily. Which also means you can put more early points into the Arcane Aura! https://streamable.com/d2stkn

It can be cast during your ultimate. Your Aghanim's Scepter Frostbites everyone standing in your Ult for 2.5 secs... but how about instantly Frostbiting everyone? https://streamable.com/2zg8ro

It disjoints projectiles. Enemy only has projectile interrupts for your ultimate? Ooops... https://streamable.com/pr2ngn

It blocks Pudge hook LOL take that https://streamable.com/3e42q1

Your normal Frostbite has 6 sec CD and disables for 3 seconds... So with Shard you have your very own 9 sec chain disable! (almost, if it weren't for the 0.3 sec cast time of Frostbite) https://streamable.com/9928ap

And I mean of course, you can go over cliffs, but everyone knows that, I just had the video lying around https://streamable.com/mal4vr

Solarcrest spam is no more!

Gaimin Gladiators' Quinn firmly believes that there is no reviving the North American Dota 2 scene - calling the region "permadead."

Select players receive a "Highly Toxic Lump of Coal" in their Frostivus chest, banning them from the game permanently.

I have a few takes.

Best support will be Shadow demon, skill build will be 4-4-0. His Q does a shit ton of damage especially when paired with W even in lane and he scales incredibly well. Give it a try.

Chen and SS are still incredibly strong of course and are very easy to play.

Best offlane I’m seeing rn is sandking. Item changes really really helped him.

Best mid will be hard to say, but I’m thinking we’re in for a Lina, OD, and clinkz patch.

Really no idea about pos 1 because I don’t play it

What TI should've been

I have finally grabbed a screenshot, this has happened multiple time. I accept match and then it fails to load before insta locking and then dcing and giving me an abandon with a match time of 0.00 as if the match was made just to give me an abandon. I do not have time to trouble shoot this so i am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this

If you block camps in Turbo you're a little pussy. I'm sorry but the sooner you accept it the better.

Rant over Have a great day.
