He probably does but i believe he's mechanically inferior to pieliedie who can make good plays from time to time. The replacement probably has more to do with chemistry/shotcalling than anything else.

In before we see PPD tweeting NA numbah wan again winning against teams with incredibly subpar state

There's some really big MMR deflation right now with the ban waves and player-base falling. Started playing Dota again tonight and played a game on each of my 3 accounts. Ended up advancing 4 medals in total.

Medals seem around 300-400 MMR lower than they were when the system came out (for example divine 2 is starts at like 4900-5000 when that used to be ancient 4-5).

Sometimes I find it surprising that people still try dots hardcore when games like fortnite/pubg exist. Most my friends just play dotes very casually now

I know that you are joking about translating manga but last time I remember learning Japanese it takes ridiculous effort to learn (especially kanji .. I just learned writing hiragana/katakana and basic speech but even that took much effort ) and apparently you can completely forgot about what you learned in just months of not using it lul

I wonder what's the hardest languages to learn and how nihonggo ranks on it




Ichigo is ok but has nothing compared to EO TO



I can speak some japanese, it just seems like a good way to start learning some kanji again. I never did any actual memorization outside of classes so I barely scraped through those.

Finnish as first language is cheating when it comes to learning Japanese, it actually felt like learning an easier language.

Well there's that. But I also think the shrinking playerbase has amplified the issue of regional mmr. Games on EU before and after around 10 PM CET might as well be different mobas

I'll start learning again when i have a buddy who's also learning. It's kinda difficult to learn alone

Unfortunately for me our local language here came from spanish so when i learned japanese through classes it felt so alien even if i watched plenty of animes.

If I ever write VNs I'll be sure to make this the first one I write.

Also for anyone who cares, my headache cleared up after sleeping, but I'm not brave enough to drink coffee today to test if it's a caffeine headache.

You should watch the series instead of reading the manga as the series is the original.
Also ichigo is one of the least likable characters i've come across in a long time. She's the worst part about the show by a landslide.

I wouldn't say the worst, although she definitely sucks. I haven't seen EP 14 yet though.

After episode 14 you'll probably agree with me

How to fuck everything up and be a shitty selfish person in one episode


Yeah I'll get back to you on that when the anime finishes airing, and I binge all of it. Except the bits I've read in the manga, will probably andyrau them.

i think its for the leaderboards
5k leaderboards eu is 5500 mmr
divine 0 at 5k mmr made no sense if divine 4 and divine 5 dont exist
so they rescaled it

I made a profile on Hinge and it has you put some conversation starters in your profile and mine are "Debate me on this topic: are snails bugs" and like "I want to know: is Yoshi a horse" and I can't say I'm doing well on the website but it feels right.

Gonna be a long time before I'd want a relationship anyway lol

I mean, props to even making a profile. That shit just sounds disgusting to me.

making jokes in dating profiles is one of my favorite things

Can't imagine being in anything serious for a long time, but certainly the casualness of tinder is nice

also been trying to convince lots of people to listen to the following joke:

What's the difference between a sports car and henry VIII?
