| Posted: 10 Jun 2017 01:12 PM PDT So whenever I play against tinker one of two things happens:
I know he's easy to gank but that's not always easy to coordinate in pubs. Obviously BkB's counter him but realistically it's not gonna be enough every fight and it's not going to help early game--in addition with blink+ghost scepter . So whether I play mid versus him or some other role he just ends up stomping and I'm totally at a loss what to do. [link] [comments]  |
| Thought experiment: What if all randomness was removed from Dota? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 11:06 PM PDT I'm sure this has been done to death, but it would be a good way to understand how a highly competitive game such as this has so many luck based factors yet still keeps an emphasis on skill-based play. So what if everything that had a chance to happen, criticals, Ogre Magi's Multicast, pretty much all of Chaos Knight, bashes, etc. had no percentage chances to proc, but instead were things like straight damage increases or set amount of hits before "proccing" a la Jingu Mastery? I ask this because I am currently debating whether or not the fighting game genre could use this sort of thing, considering how much more successful this game is than most fighting games these days. It seems most fighting game fans I've seen pride themselves on not being favored by the luck of the draw, but by pure skill alone, but what do people here think about luck in this game?

| Permastuck at ~3.4k, always try my best every game but continue losing. What do Posted: 10 Jun 2017 11:31 AM PDT It feels like every game is 50/50 decided before the game even starts. I was at 3.6k at the highest but I'm down to 3.3k atm. Every game try my best to win just cause I want to but it always feel like there's always some shortcoming from my team. Either ranked random picks, rage, inability to communicate, or just team being inferior to other one, but it feels I lose way more than I win. I played liek ~2k pubs before I even began playing ranked, I started liking it more at first cause it was a lil more serious but now It feels like I lose all the time. Any ideas?

| Quas-Wex Invoker and its place in the meta Posted: 10 Jun 2017 11:33 AM PDT In this recent match I last-picked Arc Warden as a counter to the siege and push potential of Terrorblade and Sniper only to be countered by a last-pick Invoker. But I quickly realized that this was a different beast--the rare Quas-Wex Invoker. Here's what I noticed:
With the current meta revolving around early grouping and pushing I would expect to see more Quas-Wex at a high level than I do. But, with the midlane providing far more gold and xp than before it also seems preferable to place higher farming heroes there. What are everyone's thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2017 09:06 PM PDT Every time I try to Storm I lose to any hero with better range than me... Would also accept any tips to playing Storm while Im at it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2017 10:32 AM PDT The idea is a consumable item, fairly expensive, say, 100+ gold, that gives flying vision in a 45 degree cone out to about 1000 units infront of your character and that it lasts for about 10 seconds. Both teams would see a particle effect in the area. All the specifics would be completely subject to balancing by icefrog, but this is just my placeholder values for the idea. This has many uses but I think its an important item as flying vision is one of the only things you can't get by buying at item. At first I thought it would be a circle. But to make it a little more skill based, it should be a cone so that you still have to have some sense to use it effectively. There are tons of applications. I personally think it would add more strategy to the game and give a way for flying vision besides WW or BR. What do you think? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2017 04:45 PM PDT I have been playing Visage mid recently to great success, and I was wondering what builds everyone usually goes on him. On a side note, I find it ridiculous how little he is seen at mid. He can completely dominate the lane right at six, and his ganking potential is already insane. I just dont understand why he's not a popular mid at this point, but more seen in the support role. Anyway, I know that solar crest is usually the one that everyone agrees on, but I have seen so many different builds at this point. An early midas seems to be pretty popular, and along with his 30% xp gain it definitely helps get him to his lvl 20 unstoppable peak very very fast. But from here I have been seeing a lot of different builds on Dotabuff and in my games. I love going for atos into bloodthorn, because with midas and the money I get from ganking, I really can achieve a fairly high gpm and get the items by around 30 mins at best. But I have seen people go desolator (which I have to say was awesome when I tried it. His right click damage is actually very underrated, especially with his Q), aghanims, and veil. Im sure all of these have a place, and just wanted to see what everyone thought as to the different builds Visage can go. [link] [comments]  |
| HotD viable as Support versus Omni? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 04:47 PM PDT Say your draft has no natural purges or any decent diffusal builders. Is it worth taking HotD for the Satyr purge on GA? I've done this a few times before repel was unpurgable. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2017 01:14 AM PDT im seeing builds with arcanes, treads+soul ring, tranquils.. what's the strenght of each choise ? [link] [comments]  |

Drow 2v1's the guardians Posted: 09 Jun 2017 05:03 PM PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu8z47K1o9M If you have aghs and mael by this point (which isn't that difficult) you can kite the bosses in circles killing them both around the same time to avoid the explosive ending.
