Dota calls us all. The key is to find other games to help you resist.

I mean... Nixer was able to carry a weeb fucker, and a drunk Omni to victory in DotA today. That's also kinda impressive. Sounds like a good day for LD regulars all around.

According to dotabuff my last dota match was 5 months ago, any major changes to the game I should be aware of besides the bounty rune stuff?

Idk what meta youre coming from but I hadn't played for 6ish months and this is kinda what I picked up -

Position 5 babysitting the core is worse than ever. Stack/pull/rune greedily because having items to participate in skirmishes earlier is more important than making goddamn sure your safelane core gets uninhibited farm. They'll be fine; play a bit selfishly.

Position 4 feels like it should basically always be a roamer. ES/bounty/pudge/clock etc.

Offlane is like it basically always has been. Pressure their core when the supports leave, otherwise just try get exp.

Pangolier is only super dangerous when he's rolling around.

Fairy chick is like a less mobile but just as annoying puck.

Meme hammer is for naga siren. Nobody really uses the other new items that much it seems.

Ppl dont play the rat game very hard anymore, game is pretty fighty right now.

There are still plenty of anime that isn't cluttered with fanservice such as Just Because, Tsuki ga Rei for non-action and others like Fate Zero but yeah the amount of anime that is essentially fanservice outnumbers the ones who aren't.

I mean I've always said points should be team based and not on players

But everyone seems to think otherwise

The way points distribution allows them to be either team based and if the players go separate ways it still kinda works for them due to how distribution of points works. Which is good

Well, there is quiet a lot of the season left, right? I think these points systems should award the middle 3, not top 3 to be honest, like someone else said here.

Also on topic: does last night's games really count when we basically just 5-manned with a Miracle- smurf? :thinking:
