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

I could see a weaver doing it. Maybe QoP too.

unless you meet a stack 99% of the people queuing have no idea what theyre doing. But then most of the stacks are just awful tryhards who counter pick all the time

There's an ESWC HUD skin in the Test Client. Did I miss an announcement of something?

Is this stuff going to drop this week or next week?

goddamn bulldog's mechanics and game sense are so damn refined, beautiful to watch his bat, what a huge change when i watched his stream back in last year. And you wonder why some players still have all those bad habit with them after years.

meh I counterpick ODs but then again when someone picks OD either you counter him or he counters you, pretty much.

It only took me 1500 hours but I finally made it to vhigh bracket

i went from normal to vhigh over 2 months tho when i had a pc capable of playing dota2 at more than 20fps in teamfights hehe

vh is arguably the most stratified bracket though right? big difference between the first page MM matches and my first few vh matches for sure....


I gave up trying to reach Very High with my main account. When I started playing I obviously fed a lot and lost many games and my MMR is fucked every since. I had no experience with Dota at all so the first 200-300 games were horrible. Idk MM allows very little moving in brackets if you fucked up at the beginning. This is frustrating if you start off with Dota, play a lot and get better eventually. You will forever be in the lowest MM.

I started a new account and immediately got to vhigh and have not dropped brackets since. Games are now a lot better. Moral of the story is that often it isn't the skill that holds you back but infact the matchmaking.

I usually play int supports (Lion, Lina, support Windrunner, etc) and ODs don't really hurt me so much especially on Lion. Or maybe the ODs I fought were only half decent.

That's a dream. To be honest around 7 years ago I used to do that. I maxed the orb and aura then just got the old Scythe, Aghs and then BoTs then Mystic Staffs. One ult and everyone's dead!

Everyone knows they could be Dendi level if it wouldn't be for the damned Valve matchmaking.

Once they get it fixed I'm gonna be #1 player in the world. At least top 10.

maybe top 100?

just played with a late treant prophet build. he maxed tp and sprout first. unfortunately, he didnt gank that much and just farmed mostly in jungle ._. but i think its kinda legit build if you plan to gank a lot and wait for that sb to maximize push potential.
