dota is very hit or miss

If you feel the urge to play again, hit me up.
I will party with you and act like a total fuckwit to squish your hopes and dreams instantly.

One person was impostor like 5 times in a row and the first two times it was even the same 2. so that was kinda wonky.

a) Is there a Liquiddota guild?
b) Why does my game lag for 1s in nondeterministic intervals? Feels like when some abilities get used for the first time on my screen, the game has to first cache shaders and it stutters horribly.

On b - are you using Vulkan? That shader option does that to me.

DX11 and Vulcan, both do the same.

I started with DX11, had lags, switched to Vulcan, had same/even more of these lags, switched back to DX11, now it is mostly fine. Guess most shaders have been built by now. OpenGL wasn't considered yet, but I'll give it a go later. Thanks!

Lockdown, christmas without family, bridging the time until I can start playing Borderlands 3 with friends tomorrow.

EDIT: Also, because playing games on my new monitor is fun.
