All 158 Standard Hero Builds Item, Ability, Talent tooltips have been revised (approx. 3318 changes) Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:40 AM PST 2016 Post Every year, I review all tooltips to correct inaccuracies or to tighten advice when opting for X item/ability. After two months of work: I've overhauled all tooltips for all 158 guides (about 2307 items, 632 abilities, 316 talents: approx. 176,170 words). Lastly, I've pushed some final hero build changes to wrap up 2017: in total, 8228 changes were made this year compared to last year's (2016) 4371 changes Key notes: Removed all General Hero Descriptions (too much work to update, served little use and usually outdated) Revised, re-written or clarified Ability Descriptions to be more accurate to how the current abilities work Most abilities now indicate if it can hit invisible units, dispel debuffs/buffs, has True Strike Talents with ambigious names (eg: "Cataclysm") now have a tooltip explaining what they are and how they work Any items that were removed from a hero build in the past 5 years have now had their tooltips text wiped to avoid confusing new players Reduced # of tooltip descriptions for items to focus more on items that have unique synergy or value Cleaned up some verbose text tooltips that ended up repeating the original default text (ability & items) Added "combo cheat-sheets" for items that helped with a hero's killing potential (e.g: Morphling's Ethereal Blade to 'shotgun' enemies with magic-damage) Added notes to disassemble an item to make other items in the future (e.g: Mask of Madness) Specified items like Radiance and Mask of Madness to USE THEM TO HASTEN YOUR FARM, instead of wasting everyone's time by trying to fight with 1 core item...

2 mmr Posted: 27 Dec 2017 07:13 AM PST I know I'm pretty bad at Dota and I've recently gone from 500mmr all the way down to a pretty humiliating 2 mmr, due to the negative winrate, and I'm at herald 5 somehow. the issue is that i constantly reach one of the highest xpm/gpm and never feed at all (max 4 deaths). This begs the question what can I do to climb up a bit. I hate using excuses but it doesn't seem right when other teammates are on 1-12 and I'm on 8-2 for example. thanks. submitted by /u/ronstig22 [link] [comments]

Dota lessons applied to work Posted: 26 Dec 2017 11:34 PM PST I played dota for about two years. Now I am very casual, but still watch pro games when I can. I have been working in some fairly stressful jobs, and I wanted to share some lessons I took from dota and applied to work life. I don't think they are profound. This is more a note of thanks to the game developers and players for creating a complex, fun and creative platform for me to learn. Team coordination is much more powerful than any strong individual strategy. The destructive power of a toxic person exceeds the constructive power of a lot of people. And toxicity is a disease. Either nullify or remove the toxic attitude. Beware that maybe you are toxic from the eyes of others. Quality in executing your plan is more important than having a clever plan. Don't celebrate your win until the money is in the bank (don't throw). Communication - clear and early and continuous - is incredibly undervalued in the workforce. People don't like breaking the mould - they want to create certainty and rules to control chaos. When you get stuck, break the mould. People may do the same thing as you - but they all have different reasons. In dota, some play for fun, others for pride, others for strategy and manipulation, others for money and a career, others for friendship. The same applies to work colleagues - and this impacts their behavior. Thanks for all the fun and best wishes for 2018.

Wind Ranger's Shackle Shot is inconsistent regarding status resistance Posted: 27 Dec 2017 04:24 AM PST If windranger uses shackle shot on an agi/int hero then latches onto a strength hero (who has status resistance) the agi/int hero will experience the shorter stun. However if the Strength hero is in the front only the strength hero experiences the shorter stun and the agi/int hero gets the full duration. To clearly show this i used the +1 Shackle Shot target to compare the two: https://imgur.com/gallery/fVVL2 Not sure if the interaction is intended but discovered it when fucking around in demo mode. submitted by /u/GooglerMcMuffin [link] [comments]

My experience with Baumi. Posted: 27 Dec 2017 11:20 AM PST A few days ago, like every other day for the past year basically, I watched Baumi stream dota on twitch. In that stream I realized how much of a hypocrite Baumi is. First he responds like an ass to me, being very disrespectful, just for asking him to play a game that he apparently thought was complete garbage and he had a million better things to do, and I did it in a considerate way - "maybe play it by yourself, or with Miki (his girlfriend), no need to record or stream it", because I wasn't sure if he'd like it and all I wanted is his insight about the game's design, being as a close friend of mine worked on its development. But later when someone subscribed to him and asked the same question in a much more general way, not considerate at all of Baumi's personality and character, he replied nicely. He always replies nicely to donators and subscribers, even if they say things he'd usually ignore because of disinterest, or just shame the one who said it or ban them. In other words - if you give me money I won't be an ass to you. And it's not like it's the first time I watch a stream of his, I've watched and commented in every other stream for the past couple of months. He doesn't seem to give a shit though. Also, in games he doesn't record I often notice him getting salty. There's nothing wrong with that, we're all humans here, but when he literally calls gg after 20 minutes and stops the recording, then leaning back on his chair and going back to playing Isaac while he's dead, proceeding to completely change his behaviour and personality to something a lot more... assholic, until he starts a new recording, because his videos are fake. I understand that most youtubers/streamers are that way, but they don't need to fake or hold back, but just exaggerate a bit in videos, because they just aren't assholes. Again, it's not something particularly horrible but if combined with his often boastful, impolite and disrespectful behaviour towards people he disagrees with, it kind of portrays him as... again... an asshole. I still enjoy his content and watch his videos regularly but I don't think he's a particularly good person anymore. His videos used to be a big part of what kept me going for a while, but seeing him like this made me really sad on one hand, and mad on the other hand, considering what I thought of him is likely a lie... His streams are the only way I can hear his opinions about gaming-related things that I'm interested in his thoughts about, but now I think I have him figured out well enough that I can guess his answers before even asking the questions, and I seem to have been correct on a couple of guesses already. I don't really know if it fits r/dota2 but I guess this thread will get deleted or something if it doesn't. I also know that reddit used to hate Baumi some time ago so I hope I won't lose TOO much karma for this, though I do expect backlash (if anyone ever reads this, which is unlikely). submitted by /u/AttentionHoar [link] [comments]
