My 2nd day of playing dota, going through training and learning the characters in the Limited Heroes selection game mode and people take it quite seriously :O of course I've seen some fairly high level accounts playing in it which is prob why.

Can't say the same for some of my teammates/opponents though ;x I've already seen some people legitimately suck then get reported for intentional feeding. It's cutthroat but I love it :D glad you have a thick skin to hang in with the community! The game got really fun when I found some friends to play with and started not giving a shit what pubs say lol I've seen pubs qqing and telling people to play practice mode... In co-op vs hard bots.

in order of skill its tlih<ixdl-o<ixdl-i but tlih and ixdl o are both extremely random when it comes to skill. If you do well for a while in ixdl-o you can get into -i pretty easily, and if you're not bad you can stay there and thats about the highest skill you're going to get on NA servers since thats where a lot of na pros play in their free time.

i was once flamed for making a chaser build Jugg (PMS->Phase->Drum->Diffu->Yasha->SnY)

I saw a Jugg went MoM drums phase and finally a butterfly because he was owning... I dont get it but OK if it works it works

I've never tried it personally but I can see it working.
MoM should allow you to land more hits during Omnislash and I guess you can move faster while spinning as well, so you're going to be immune to early game damage for most of the duration and once your immunity runs out everything is dead anyway.
Definitely going MoM Jugg next time I play him actually.
And yeah I love when people fountain farm bots. Haven't seen anyone all chat bm bots yet though, still waiting for that.

I lost to bots once. I didn't realize that they actually get free gold and just messed around for 50 minutes.

Ì think people did co-op to get fast player cards too.

Your a disgrace to this community! From now on all your opinions shall be ignored because you lost to bots! 
Joking btw.
Personally i've never lost to Bots,and dont plan to start either. The only times i play Bot is to train a specific hero or playing with some noob friends

God damn the starcraft 2 section is bad. Thank you, Dota 2, for being better.

Starcraft 2 EVERYTHING lately has been just a dark cloud of negativity and vitriol.

Starcraft 2 EVERYTHING lately has been just a dark cloud of negativity and vitriol. That's cause they live right next door to dota2 which has been happy and shiny recently. When you live in the slums and have a metropolis right next door I think that'd easily grow some discontent.

Actually how long the International can continue? I mean Valve can't do it forever.
If the international is gone, what can replace it?

Why can't they do it forever, or at least for the natural life cycle of the game? It's a tremendous marketing tool, and it's possible (per Lo3) that the most recent one might actually have been profitable.
