After levelling his lvl.20 +400 Attack Range talent, it will boost both his auto-cast range and manual cast range of Liquid Fire (fyi manual cast it for 200 more range); however Dragon Lance only boosts his auto-cast range and not his manual cast.

(Dragon Lance will boost both if +400 atk range talent has not yet been levelled)

About the new Powershot: was it a buff or a nerf? (some numbers inside)

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 04:19 AM PST

Hi guys! I just wanted to bring this discussion to the front since it seems that after the changes, Powershot feels a bit more limited than before, specially to kill waves or heroes through waves, despite being tuned up (theoretically).

Powershot damage was increased by a 17% in 7.00, while the damage decay was doubled (from 10% to 20%). The change to damage reduction is fairly big considering the moderate buff to the nuking power.

Let's now check some numbers for 5 objectives considering the data for level 4 ability. 5 objectives have been chosen as a theoretical standard for early game wave + hero or 5 man hits in teamfights.

Damage for 5 impacts:

OLD Powershot: 360/324/291.6/262.4/236.2 (Total 1474)
NEW Powershot: 420 / 336 / 268.8 / 215 / 172 (Total: 1411.8). About 4.5% less damage than old powershot.

As we can see, the old Powershot has a slightly higher total damage than the New one, and the damage value after hitting only 1 enemy is barely the same, with the new one being about 4% above the old one.

Let's now check data for 3 impacts:

NEW Powershot: 420/ 336 / 268.8 (Total 1024.8). About 5% stronger over OLD one.
OLD Powershot: 360 / 324 / 291.6 (Total 975.4)

As we can see with the numbers, the differences between the Old and New Powershot are relatively small except for the first hit of the ability, with the old one being more consistent to kill trhough waves or just laning (mid-long range usage, while the new one is stronger for direct hits (gank around, short distance nukes). Also, the recent changes have made the early game numbers significantly stronger than before.

I would like to know your opinion about the state of this skill right now, does it feel nerfed or buffed to you fellow doters?

Need Help Finding A Local Dota Player I Met! (Dublin, Ireland)

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 09:12 AM PST

Hi everyone!

So I live in Dublin, Ireland and I was catching a bus home earlier and I was just getting off when I caught sight of an Anti-Mage plushie hanging from the bag of a cute girl. This isn't a very common sight here in Dublin so I walked up to her as we both got off the bus and asked her about it. We had a brief conversation but I was in a rush and I failed to ask her for her number or SteamID and I regret it.

Just wanted to post this on the off chance she might go on Reddit now and again and see this and maybe consider contacting me. I'm not too fussed if nothing comes of it but I said why not give it a shot. Who knows maybe I'll meet her catching a bus in the coming days! Any upvotes for visibility would be appreciated!

Other relevant details for those interested: It was a Number 4 Dublin Bus we got off and we got off at the Ballymun Civic Centre at around 2.30pm today (Monday, 13th of February). She had black hair, 2 nose piercings, a black Darth Vader bag w/ Anti Mage plushie, black jacket, denim jeans and looked early-20s. If by some miracle the person I seek is reading this send me a DM I'd love to play a game or get a drink with you sometime!

Can people finally learn to use the resume previous action button on couriers?

Posted: 13 Feb 2017 12:08 AM PST

You buy an item, check if courier is available, press delivery hotkey and watch the courier move towards you. Then shit hits the fan and you're busy focussing on the game you're playing because you're not a fucking pro player that can control 10 heroes, 3 dominated creeps and 2 couriers at once and one minute later you find yourself wondering where your fucking item is to find out that someone apparently used it to deliver a single tp scroll while standing in side shop.

At this point it's one of the most aggravating things that people regularly do and I actually started reporting people for it after doing it repeatedly even after telling them there's this neat button that you just have to click when you accidentally cancel someone's courier. Even if I never see those reports again, I don't care because it's really not that hard a thing to do.

Last try before I give up: A huge number of ~5-6k players in Europe are in Low Priority constantly (massive post with proof inside)

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 05:41 PM PST

Method of proof:

Instead of my own games, I will use random 5-6.5k public games as proof, to avoid being told I'm getting matched with players as 'cancerous' as me. I have noticed that 7k players are not in low priority as often as 5-6k players. I'm assuming that's because of two things:

they're less cancerous and they focus on themselves more
they make less crucial mistakes

I choose these games from Dotabuff hero guides to guarantee randomness. They estimate the mmr and I will include a screenshot for every example. Low priority can be detected by a series of Normal, Single Draft games, until around 5 games have been won. There is a minor chance people are just randomly playing Normal, Single Draft games. Also, I can only include people with stats share enabled and some may disable it for the time they're playing low priority. I will look at their last 50 games shown. These include tournament, Low Priority and Battle cup games, meaning, for example, people with 4x Low Prio in their last 50 games play LP after at least every 7th ranked game (a ridiculous number), not 4 times in 50 ranked games. I am well aware that a portion of these players deserve to be in low priority, but the excessive number is, imo, prove that the system is broken.

Example 1: 6500 mmr

Screenshot of mmr: http://imgur.com/a/Eu9Z4

Link to the game: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2994155250?guide=82e439

Players who received Low Priority in their last 50 games:

Syllabear: 4 times

Tinker: 3 times

Enigma: 2 times

Earth Spirit: 0 times

Luna: 0 times

Ember Spirit: 0 times

Centaur: 3 times

SD: 0 times

-> 4/8 players play LP, ~3 times in 50 games

Example 2: 6000 mmr

Screenshot of mmr: http://imgur.com/a/rRY69

Link to the game: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2988668276?guide=192fe4

Players who received Low Priority in their last 50 games: Luna: 3 times

Jakiro: 1 time

ES: 3 times

Axe: 1 time

Troll: 0 times

Abaddon: 4 times

Rubick: 0 times

Slark: 2 times

LC: 2 times

-> 7/9 players play LP, ~2.3 times in 50 games

Example 3: 5000 mmr

Screenshot of mmr: http://imgur.com/a/3ZX21

Luna: 1 times

ET: 2 times

Storm: 2 times

TB: 2 times

ES: 0 times

Treant: 0 times

Axe: 1 time (fresh account)

QoP: 3 times

-> 7/9 players play LP, ~2 times in 50 games

Example 4 : 5500 mmr

Screenshot of mmr: http://imgur.com/a/XYFQP

Link to the game: https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2994671642?guide=647fe6

Players who received Low Priority in their last 50 games: Juggernaut: 1 time

WD: 0 times

Treant: 0 times

Storm: 2 times

ES: 1 time

SD: 0 times

Luna: 0 times

Slardar: 3 times

Pudge: 1 time

Invoker: 0 times

->5/10 players play LP, ~1,6 times in 50 games

In every game at least half of the players (64% on average) played Low Prio recently, many multiple times. There is no way 64% of players are frequently ruining games. But the actual issue is the following: It doesn't matter whether these people actually ruined games or not because the reason they're getting into low priority is that too many report tickets are available. And once they are, they don't become less anymore. Why? Because people get mad and report eachother and, since everyone is doing it, it's an endless cycle of low priority. Reports aren't spare enough to use only on ruiners because you get them back anyway. There is no drawback to it.

This is as much proof as I can provide. There is nothing else I can do. It's been like this at least since early January and I am just done with it. Valve hasn't responded in any way, most people are still denying it's broken and we are stuck in that bracket suffering without anyone doing something about it. I can't do this anymore. I'm playing through low prio every single time, despite it being a completely unfair punishement and an enormous waste of time. I am anxious and stressed out every game. Everytime you make a big mistake you're getting reported, everytime you're refusing to come to a bad team fight you're getting reported, everytime you get into an argument with someone you're getting reported. It's an insanely cancerous environment. PLEASE do something about it. I don't care what, remove the system altogether before you come up with a better idea, but stop punishing innocent players trying their best to win. Dota itself is stressful enough.

TL;DR: More than half of 5-6k players played low priority recently, there are too many report tickets available, Valve isn't doing anything about it and I feel like killing myself.

Just wanted to thank Blake Martinez for his steam today

Posted: 12 Feb 2017 10:02 PM PST

Most dota streams that dominate the top of the page are either pro games, pro players, or russian boosters (thought I have those filtered). It's hard to find just a stream to chill in and communicate with the streamer, but I want to say props to Blake for his stream. Communicates with chat, is entertaining, and is an mmr that we can all relate to. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening SeemsGood
