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.

If I want a more relaxed AP I just go Russian server with all languages, otherwise I prefer to queue RD or CM, but even in RD with the current matchmaking you risk getting people who think that a pool with few very strong picks it's best to first pick PA and call mid. Thankfully this doesn't happen too often.

Playing CM with friends is probably the most fun, especially when they are up for testing new lineups while being able to play fotm on decent level. Maybe the biggest issue is, whoever plays as captain tends to overvalue some heroes in bans on personal level leaving us to fight uphill against some more common picks.

How do you guys build carry Tiny? Rush to Agh's, then Treads, Manta Style, AC/BKB?

Scepter acts like the all amazing battlefury on AM, only better and more expensive. It gives you so much to work on and allows faster farming without having to use mana.

Treads into yasha then BKB is usually safe but you can go greedy if your enemy is aiming for lategame and go straight from Yasha to AC then Manta.

scepter is cheaper than bfury lol

OMG you're right! Hahaha! I haven't played a scepter hero in so long that I didn't realize. Well, 150 gold isn't much.

Also, do you guys remember the old int only scepter recipe?

i cant really stand to play anything other than AP, i swear anytime I get into RD/SD/AR it's a tier below my normal matchmaking. I have this theory based on 100% anecdotal evidence that worse people queue for those modes because they blame OP hero picks for their loses in AP and go hide in RD/SD/AR modes. When in reality they lose because they aren't very good but that's too hard to admit.

Um well, matchmaking just depends on your MMR. So there's no way what you said could be true.

A lot of times games just come down to picks and team comps so AP/RD/SD can have a wide variety of outcomes and stomps.

It was exactly the opposite in wc3, most skilled players preferred ar/sd.
But when I queue these modes in dota2 I end up with all the bad stereotypes.
My dick has shrunk to the point where it looks like I have 3 balls.

As far as I know, -sd has always been the "noob mode". And it still kind of is in Dota 2.

Found this + Show Spoiler +

on dota metrics. SD is more popular in lower skill games, by far. 14.5% games in normal bracket, 5.8? in high and 2% in VH.

-ar was the most noob friendly mode in dota1 because you didn't have to do anything to pick a hero xD In every other mode it was possible to somehow not know it

Why do you not get bounty for Illusions? They tank damage , they inflict damage , they exist for a limited duration. they`re the same as summoned units in every conceivable way. this disparity is just hurting heroes like lycan or brood that rely on summoned units. i mean , what the difference if i push a lane with my pl army or spiderlings? one gets penalized , the other does not.

I would suggest something like 0,25% of a heros net worth as gold bounty for illusions , so a CK with threads drums armlets illuisions are like 12 gold , barely noticable , while a six slotted antimages mantastyle illusions would be worth 75 gold. would also but a cost on the "death by a thousand cuts strategy" of just sending mantastyle illusions to siege towers without penalty.
The futures uncertain , but the end is always near
