Maybe I just don't get it. I know it's Louis Riel Day in other parts of the country, I reckon we just followed them. | ||

Actually I do. But as long as it ain't celebrating Hitler I'm fine with next to whatever. No reason is definitely good enough for me  | ||

This is just "have some time off and reflect on how we have families in Canada." Maybe I just don't get it. I know it's Louis Riel Day in other parts of the country, I reckon we just followed them. Governments needed to force in a February holiday because for a while it was one of two months (along with June) without a holiday. When my parents owned a store they weren't too happy with Family Day after it was instated, because it meant less business for them, so I have that lingering feeling even to this day that it is frivolous. But I have Reading (sorry, "Study") Week falling on Family Day anyways, so it makes no real difference. | ||

Not what I experience in my games, hence not being able to relate. im really bad at dota right now and have played a lot of 2.5k-3k games and not one single time in ~100 games in last two months has buying/having a courier been a matter of contention. I mean, its pretty common that no one "wants" to play 5 pos but whoever ends up sucking it up and doing it buys at least cour +1 ward in 99% of games (honestly I don't think its happened even once but im hedging). SOMETIMES no one buys the second obs or a sentry. Thats not that rare. Dunno. But yeah in my pubs (i play 5 roughly 40% of my games) what actually happened was 4 pos had to buy one ward and it made it hard to start boots first. (this happen like every game tbh since i would buy tango/clarity/cour/obs/sentry) And now, in the few games i've played the 5 pos is much more likely to buy all the support items. Anyways, I personally don't mind the change or think its bad, but as long as pubs are a game of "someone having to suck it up and play 5 when no one wants to" then i'm generally a fan of making supports lives more "fun". And having money does make the game more fun. I also don't think it has super negative effects in competitive, I think "in general" that more even gold distribution leads to more active games, less super carries winning game by themselves, and thats generally more interesting dota to watch. It makes it less fun to play 1 pos in theory, but theres no shortage of people wanting to play 1 pos. All my opinion of course. Also, I'm quite certain that a significant factor in this is that if no one else is willing to play 5, I do myself. So my general advice to people who have games without courier/supports, is to just be willing to play 5 yourself some games. Thats coming from someone who's favorite thing to do in the game is afk farm, hit creeps, and pretend to be rtz.... P.S. I don't particularly like playing support, but 1&5 are my highest winrate positions and you definitely appreciate/learn about each from playing the other especially from a laning perspective. | ||

Not saying that's a bad thing by any means, its just a bit of a disconnect for me on a support playstyle front and has taken some adjusting. For someone who's used to playing a very self-sacrificing puppey/PPD style support, having the "hard 5" role shift more towards what a 4-role used to be is odd. As always in dota, I'm willing to play any patch out and decide then whether or not I like it, but I get my hackles up a little when elements of complex game systems get waved off as bad game design. Given the argument that people buy couriers at lower levels only because they're scared noone else will and not because they recognize that couriers are pretty goddamn good, then I suppose it makes sense. It's all change, we'll see what becomes of it. It'd be fun/funny if they had tiered support item costs per badge, like couriers being 50g in the lower ranks, and 125/150/200 in legend/ancient/divine | ||

How many games of PUBG should I play before I'll know if I like it? So far, it's a game that's more fun to play than to watch. That's no reflection on Comeh's stream (the only PUBG I've ever seen), time just passes more quickly when I'm doing stuff. First game ended, I was 17/93, didn't fire a single shot at someone.  | ||
