IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Just played a couple of games and I got flamed for a few things.

1. Shadowblade BH - tbh I was two shotting the enemy jugg and one shotting the enemy rubick. My team considered me the "carry", Trouble is I went shadowblade desolator for max burst damage but I will die instantly if I actly try to get into a 1v1 fight :S

2. Crystal Maiden - I maxed frostbite and nova and only got 1 point in aura at level 2. Thing is, there was an enemy AM and anyway, I find that w the advent of soul ring and mana boots, the aura is kinda useless.

3. Shadowblade Bara - Trust me, this is awesome. It helps to add 150 to the initation charge stun and burst. And once your done charging into enemy lines to get the kill the shadowblade helps me to get away. Even if the enemy has dust, Baras aura + 20% shadowblade movespeed means its easy to run away. Plus the increased AS = more greater bash. Also the invis during charge helps to charge across lanes unnoticed.

Do I deserve to be flamed for any of the above builds??

Why would you get flamed for the CM aura thing? No one maxes it before Frost and Nova. And now Lothars works with Jinada so it's not really all that bad. Just say fuck it and get Lothars on every hero.
The ruminations are mine, let the world be yours.

Does anyone else find it annoying how you cant look at people's dota profiles in game anymore, even as spectator?

I think it's a good thing. No more "noob you only got 50 wins" without them knowing that with those 50 wins come 30 losses and you've been playing dota for close to 8 years or something
Generally it's a lot less sperging about stats in-game and I'm real fine with that

I was wondering if it was just me... I'm somewhat annoyed. I love scoping out allies and enemies and what else am I going to do while the game loads?

I can understand the reasoning to not letting enemy teams check each other out in the beginning of games and planning picks or bans or whatever, but they needa turn it back on for teammates and spectators.

That was a deliberate move by the game designers? I hope they will change it back soon

Can't you just use Dotabuff to look up people if you really want to? It will give you win rates and what kind of heroes they play too!

https://dotabuff.com/

I don't actually look at people I'm playing with or against until after the game sometimes, and only if it's a complete stomp or something, haha. I just use Dotabuff to look up friends or community members for fun.

It just leads to dumb stuff like this:
