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 keep playing (considering you can't just "make" a new account). When I started on my smurf account I dipped below 50% winrate by grouping with TLers and not picking carries (pick up the slack people!). Then I just went on a solo mid/carry-only pick spree and went on a 12 game win streak. I sparingly solo queued on it and found myself in very high.


https://dotabuff.com/players/69947327

Is that you?

Lifestealer huh.... I should start doing the same.

I wanna party up with TL'ers. How to do this?


That's my main account, which I no longer use to party up with TLers (they generally lose their lanes badly from the massive MMR disparity - and therefore causes my winrate to drop - blame dotabuff!).

I just announce in the teamliquid chat channel (in Dota 2) whenever I start a party. Usually can get 3-5 people within a few minutes. If you want, you can add the smurf account that I use to play with TLers now (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198074725151) and I'll invite you when I start a party.

P.S. My internet connection is not the greatest while at school, so I don't play on my main recently (like how you wouldn't ladder on SC2 if you're lagging)

Thanks firebolt and pseudoku. I'll be on in a couple of hours. Hopefully I can find a decent party.

I've been solo queuing for about 200 games. I need some team work games lol.

Of course, it's my smurf account so I won't necessarily pick carries all the time - I need to learn heroes like Invoker. Though I could also use some practice on Lone Druid.

solo q isnt bad unless your facing actually good stacks. having a mic and actually using it productively helps, aka yelling "TEAAAMMMMAAA"

also random gold helps.

I instantly ignore and report all the people that spam trade in the TL.net chat. It's really annoying, there are trade chat rooms for a reason.

I'm going to start doing that now too. I really don't care for the cosmetic items, so I'm going to give away items to people I party with later and show good team work/play.

The chests I get, I delete them though.

Yeah, well just wait for Frostivus spam

I do get that this is how valve is going to make money from the game, but I'd still like to see more effort put into porting heroes and getting LAN out (and finishing the tutorial aspects) over all this events and items stuff. I suppose valve employees do what they want though, so...

I'm pretty sure they have a group of people that is working on lan, one that is working on items and one that is working on porting heroes. The thing is that the community is also helping with the items so it's normal that we see many items being implemented.

Is it me or is PRD not working like many people claim? I'm seeing just as much permabash and consecutive crits as before. For all I know Valve buffed these heroes without actually looking at the PRD formula used in WC3. Wouldn't surprise me with how many bugs are overlooked to this day.

PRD is a slight buff towards perma-bash (non-overlapping bashes aka bash-nobash-bash are more likely), but consecutive crits should be rarer. Rarer doesn't mean that they never happen.

I've definitely played against a few bashlord slardars post-patch though . Can't even BKB T_T

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother

How do you use hotkeys? I went full LoLtard and bound my items to 1-6, so now I don't really have control groups anymore (I have tab as control group for my hero and that's it).

Feels kinda suboptimal. Is there a general consensus on which hotkeys to use? Standard hotkeys?

Try the F keys for control groups if you can reach them

Space, side mouse button, caplocks, T, 4, 5, C, V work fine for items, so you have 1-3 for control groups which is plenty unless you play meepo.
Try whatever you want, really.
