Will TI7 still be in US? Posted: 28 Jan 2017 01:53 PM PST Since Trumps new Visa ban. Which makes sense why there was the Boston major. Edit: And Key Arena getting demolished submitted by /u/Rendelodon [link] [comments]

Kuroky will not be allowed to attend TI 7 Posted: 29 Jan 2017 02:11 AM PST http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/donald-trump-omid-nouripour-darf-nicht-mehr-in-die-usa-reisen-a-1131900.html German Newspaper just reported about a German politician with a german and and iranian passport and stated, that he will not be allowed to travel to the U.S. anymore. If this is true, Valve really has to do something about that issue and make TI in another country submitted by /u/fuzoku [link] [comments]

Trying to watch RTZ play some dota... Posted: 28 Jan 2017 10:23 PM PST for 3 hours and all I've seen is him jumping on trucks. Wtf is wrong with his que? submitted by /u/olerris [link] [comments]

I just played versus someone with 6k+ games that was using a script to instantly cast spells, and when I try to view the replay from player perspective the camera is sat back away from his hero. How do I get him banned? Posted: 28 Jan 2017 06:51 PM PST Game on Dotabuff is https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2950154084 and the guy's profile is https://www.dotabuff.com/players/137241208. I was going to upload a gif of him using the script because it's a joke that someone has used it for 6k games and still not been banned, but when I view the replay from his perspective the camera is permanently off-centre so I'm unable to even see what he's doing. He's clicking off screen from a view of the jungle whilst his character is diving towers. How do I get this banned/looked into by Valve? submitted by /u/MightyMorphin4s [link] [comments]

Valve, what the hell is up with your custom game modes? Posted: 28 Jan 2017 06:17 PM PST Overthrow and 10 v 10 haven't been updated since the switch to 7.00 and there's been problems on both of them but now 10 v 10 is impossible to play because of some error or bug of something, literally will not load. I truly don't understand how these were overlooked for this long submitted by /u/XLNemo [link] [comments]

Maximizing *profits* from Dark Moon Posted: 28 Jan 2017 11:46 AM PST Yellow errbody, this isn't Purge. Welcome to my guide on efficiency in Dark Moon mod. TL;DR: You can play Dark Moon in two distinct ways to maximize what you get in return compared to how much efforts you give. One is to get most points for the spin, one is to win till 15th round for the trophy. And no, they're not the same thing. Get most points for the Spin This is the mode you should be playing most often (that means, once everyday). It's incredibly easy for what it returns; and it doesn't matter you're playing solo with plebs in pubs, or have friends' stack who want the same thing - MOAR DUCK MUUN PTS! Get Disruptor, Dark Seer, or Underlord. Stay Alive (phase boots, salves - more on this later) Get till the chicken level, accumulate gold Then you can afford to lose the game. Yes, the 6x multiplier will not be used to full potential, but you just got 35000 Dark Moon points in 10mins, you can go back to playing regular Dota 2, normal or ranked. Make sure you spin for the day's drop. You can do this ONCE EVERY DAY, and you should. Win all the rounds for the profile trophy Okay, this is hard. And this is very reliant on the combined skill bracket of the team. Ideally you want to stack with people you can communicate with. I'm posting ONE OF THE compositions, builds and play styles to defeat final boss. This is NOT THE ONLY WAY. If you happen to know other ways to reliably win the game, please comment, I'll update the post with attribution. THE TEAM & BUILDS Phantom Assassin: high DPS single target Abilities: 3-1-1-1 > 4-4-1-1 > 4-4-4-3, start with Dagger Abilities: 3-1-1-1 > 4-1-4-1 > 4-4-4-3, start with Dagger (courtesy: u/thepellow) Your job is to live, spam dagger, blink in out and kite for first 5 levels Next 5 levels, you go on the tankiest of opponents, and delete them ASAP Last 5 levels are mostly tanky bosses (including Invoker) that's when you shine the most Core Items: stout + salves > Phase + Battlefury > Satanic > Bloodthorn Optional Items: Batterfly, MKB, Moon Shard, Heart, BKB Don't get basher/abyssal, the DPS is very low to be useful for you. Sniper's MKB ministun is way more effective. Butterfly on PA may seem like a waste, but 67% evasion is insane, when you're tanking in late game; also the AS and Damage. Sniper: high attack speed spread damage Abilities: 3-1-1-1, 4-2-2-1, 4-4-4-3, start with Shrapnel Your job is to live, and farm the key item (maelstorm) ASAP You are very effective from level 6-10 and primary source of most damage. Level 11-15 you fall off a bit, but now you can buy damage items for single target. Core Items: boot + salves > phase boot + gloves > Maelstorm > Mjollnir > Deso > MKB Optional Items: Bloodthorn, Moon Shard You give Mjollnir active to PA in later part of the game when she's tanking. You should Hit the same target with high AS. You're a glass cannon, so make sure to position well and not get sneezed on by the bosses. Reviving is tough in late game. Underlord: offlane, tank, aura support Abilities: 3-1-1 > 4-1-4-1 > 4-4-4-3, start with Firestorm You make sure others dont' die for taking too much damage Till level 5 you farm and hold a solo lane (right hand side/bottom lane) Later levels, connect the lanes together around the outer shrine area an be with team Core Items: Vanguard > Phase + Vlads > Crimson Guard > Heart Optional Items: Blademail, Pipe, Solar Crest You're the one who kites and connects the waves - it's very important to make sure they don't go base. Disruptor: crowd control, farm acceleration, wave clear Abilities: 3-1-1-1 > 4-4-1-1 > 4-4-4-3, start with Thunder Early level you wave clear with thunderclap, you also use glimpse to fix a mis-connect wave Later levels you use Kinetic field and Storm to silence the bosses for your carries to finish them off You're most useful in level 5 and 10 - farming levels. All your abilities work on the chickens - KA-CHING FOR DAYS! Core Items: boot + salves > phase > Bloodthorn > BKB Optional Items: Glimmer, Greaves, Force Staff, Octarine Core. Buy salves and wards as needed. You make sure the boss PA goes for is controlled/silenced Winter Wyvern: healer/escape, wave clear and connect, boss controller Abilities: 1-2-2-1 > 1-4-4-1 > 4-4-4-3, start with Splinter Use splinter blast to clear waves and cold embrace to heal allies Use arctic burn to make people escape stick situations (you can cast on allies) You can also connect waves together and cage them bottom-left highgrounds and fly out Core Items: boots + salves > Arcane > Mek > Bloodthorn (at least 3 BT in team) Optional Items: Radiance, Greaves, Octarine Core, Solar Crest. Buy salves and wards as needed. STRATEGY The trick is to play like the Spartans in the movie 300 (Battle of Thermopylae). Kite and connect the waves together at the choke-points and kill them with AOE damage (hint: outer shrine, with the highground is awesome spot). Almost always focus the empowering boss instead of their summons (Dazzle, Nyx, Warlocks etc.) NEVER. LEAD. THE. WAVES. TO. BASE. Sorry for shouting... can't <em> enough. People keep making this mistake. The base is not fountain (as in normal Dota), you just make your throne vulnerable by doing so Kite them around the river and high ground, and control their progression with Pit of Malice and Kinetic Field. Also, make sure to use the fortification as many times as possible, as each outer towers will give one fortification. Ideally, give the fortification, shrine activation, kiting-pathway job to Wyvern Death is costly, way more than it is in Dota 2. That's one of the reason you're making Phase Boots (to not get stuck in waves). Phase and GTFO. Wyvern should heal when low, and Disruptor should glimmer to make escape without getting caught. Ideally Sniper, Wyvern and Disruptor (in that order) should never stay in melee range of the waves. While reviving, don't do it with creeps around. Take them elsewhere, one person stay back to revive. Buyback is costlier than normal Dota 2. You buyback ONLY IF your team absolutely can't win the round. LANES Bottom right lane is for underlord. You can and should solo till round 5. If/when you can't hold it, bring them to the outer shrine, through outer shop. DON'T TAKE THE WAVES TO BASE. That's how you lose. Other 4 heroes should go left side of the map. Sniper position on the highground of the outer shrine. Wyvern (top), PA (Mid) and Disruptor (bottom) go on each tower. Draw aggro and bring the waves to the shrine choke-point from both top, left and bottom side At one point, it'll be hard to hold the creeps there and Shrine will be used Use Wyvern ult whenever it's too much to handle It's around the time Underlord brings his creeps there Use dark rift to get from the outer high-ground to inside of the base (don't walk and die) Use the inner shrines very carefully, never solo-shrine; ping to ensure people gathering up. Always be ready to kite them out, if needed to buy time (Wyvern) GAMEPLAY TIPS Salves/Clarities don't break (so, don't buy Faerie Fires, Mangoes) You can glimmer while reviving someone, so that you can do it safely Rapier doesn't drop on death, almost always a must-buy on PA and/or Sniper Rapier is disabled in this mod. If the creeps are at base through bottom lane, you're fucking up (not playing correctly) Always keep the buyback gold, but never get into a situation where you'll need to buyback Tried writing the whole thing as bullet poins, so that's it easier to scheme-through. Please ask in comment if some part isn't clear (instead of random "why phase boots on X hero, noob?"). Currently fixing typos and adding missing points. Will be awake for a few more hours to reply back as needed. Off to sleep, will check in the morning. GLHF Updated builds with core and optional items. Pick optional items depending on team/playstyle. Removed Hex in favor of Bloodthorn as most people think it's a lot more effective. Cheers! submitted by /u/Debloper [link] [comments]

BattleCup DDOS'ers. Valve should really do something about this. Posted: 28 Jan 2017 12:40 PM PST Alright, so we won our first match on battlecup, no internet problems whatsoever. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2949035384 Then on our second game, our huskar's connection screws up for no reason. He can't even play, then we lose 4 vs 5. https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2949199332 Then I got curious and looked at these guys' other games. On their first game their opponents' wk finished the game on level 1 and looking at chat confirms that he had connection problems https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2949080346 Then I watched their finals game live, this time ogre magi's connection screws up for no reason. I also noticed there were 6 spectators. On a tier 4 game? I tried to get them to speak but only one guy once said "lol". https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2949295875 All their games had only one guy from the opposite team having connection issues. And If you look at how they type in chat, they try really hard to not expose themselves and look stupid. I hope valve can do something about this and please upvote for visibility :) Thanks submitted by /u/H_justice [link] [comments]

Please, allow for solo players to queue with only solo players. Posted: 28 Jan 2017 11:29 AM PST I'd be willing to wait an additional 10 min per match if it meant that I'd get to play with other people that are the same solo MMR as me. Sometimes I have a good duo on my team, and we dominate, but it's still not fair. I wish there was an option to "Only queue with solo players." submitted by /u/Ma1nStreaM [link] [comments]

How the hell do you deal with the last 1/4 hp of Dark Magus in Dark Moon? Posted: 29 Jan 2017 01:31 AM PST Everything is fine vs Dark Magus until you bring him to about a quarter hp.. from then on he goes full OSfrog.. With 1/4 hp left, Dark Magus spams like 50 meatballs, tornadoes, deafening blasts and sunstrikes everywhere.. Do we have to just kite him and wait for the spam to end? Does the sunstrike meatball deafening blast spam even end? Really want that dark moon trophy on my profile FeelsBadMan :gun: submitted by /u/Dotaspasm [link] [comments]

I was waiting to claim the one I have today but it said Game Client out of Date. Logged out, patched, and now apparently I have to wait another 23 hours to get the next daily bonus. submitted by /u/ooczzy [link] [comments]

Hero Builds Server is completely de-synced again (3), guide may be unable to update or be published Posted: 28 Jan 2017 01:34 PM PST Hello, I am just making this post because I have received numerous tweets, PMs, steam messages and a few topics (example 1, example 2, example 3) about the problem (see title). This is just a heads-up post. This has happened a few times since the launch of 7.00/7.01: Since December 21 Again since Jan 11 Continuing in Jan 14 When a new update is pushed through, the Hero Build Server breaks down and soon after, it can cause it to be de-synced - preventing hero builds from being updated, published or even loaded for some. It's the weekend, so it could be a bit before the system becomes functional. Also since Dec./7.00, updating your 6.88 Nature's Prophet may cause it to be removed in-game. At the moment, I think only my guide has been completely removed. Monkey King builds still do not show in-game. Full report: dev.dota.com submitted by /u/TorteDeLini [link] [comments]
