Do you want valve to make hero guides ?
Idk they implemented custom guides and now you're flaming them for making it custom?

Oh what why did Torte delete his guides

He didn't want people using outdated guides, I believe. Granted, he could've waited a bit but it makes some logical sense. I remember Greyshark's 6.83 guides being there after 7.0 came out

Guides by ImmortalFaith are supposedly decent and mostly up-to-date. Shame Torte quit, but it's understandable, especially with how often the heroes are changed nowadays

I used to write some guides a long time ago and tbh it gets pretty annoying having people that are like half your mmr criticize you. For example, a long time ago I pioneered going ET mid, which as you can expect got flack from local cretins but after some time it wound up getting picked for a short stint in pro games.

https://www.liquiddota.com/forum/dota-2-strategy/454719-tauren-titan-and-a-short-guide

About 2 weeks after this guide it was getting picked and Bulba made a post in my thread as well.

And for the record I really disliked the change back in the day to having a "strategy section for LD and not just one big dota section. I remember being kind of annoyed that the couple guides I wrote would just be lumped under big generic hero threads instead of being their own standalone ones, especially considering there was basically no other content on the site.

Homestoryesque Age of Empires 2 tournament going on.

It's so confusing for me to watch. Games can be won by kiting a boar from the enemy base to your own villagers, intense micro battles with archers, admins can decide to restart the map if randomly generated maps are blocking resources and so on.

no, ler_gg is a fucking abomination of a human being and its a ridiculous joke of team liquid to publish anything this fucked up glob of existence vomits out its orifice

immortalfaith is just a ranked player that picks meta heroes and is annoying

No one ever revered him. He wrote a couple of articles for us in the past though (most notably his art of support series). Unfortunately he turned out to be incredibly toxic (something we didn't know until after we let him work for us). I don't have hard feelings towards him since he was a pleasure to work with, but he was a pretty big rager on his stream

im sure that, next to the politics threads, the QQ threads are the ones with highest % of posters that end up being banned.
