You made Scuttling Scotty creator so happy!

Posted: 08 May 2018 08:39 AM PDT

Don't know if anyone will see this, but I created Scuttling Scotty years ago. I was/am a hobbyist 3d artist and did this out of pure passion and love of the game. I named Scotty after my Uncle who I didn't get to see anymore after I moved as a child. Unfortunately I got ripped by Netolic pretty hard(it was bundled with that tourney) and then p0ooped on regarding the quality of Scotty.

I totally understand the reaction, it was hard to take then, but was a good experience in the end. I thought Scotty was forgotten, even though myself and some friends still use him in-game to this day. These memes literally made me beam with joy. I am so entertained and happy by all of these posts. So thank you for your work u/Clockwerkx and all the heroes who tried to save Scotty!

I worked on improving Scotty's texture, model and animations over the years since he was originally created, but I never submitted them to the workshop. If anyone was interested to see Scotty 2.0, here is a preview!

Have a great day Doto community!

Upon the royal and righteous decree of the king of bone

/u/Clockwerkx leave those poor little penguins alone

They've strayed off from their course, far from their home

So cease your petty grievances, and please let them roam

Your anger is not towards them, it is rage towards Valve

For which I cannot offer you anything, not even a salve

You've already slaughtered the poor one they call Scotty

Your intentions foul, motivations somewhat spotty

I approach your location with True Sight from afar

Tread carefully now, for you might start a meme war

R.I.P Scuttling Scotty

Posted: 07 May 2018 08:35 PM PDT

This subreddit is only a few hours away from shifting from overhyped to being filled with complaints and dissapointment

Posted: 07 May 2018 10:47 PM PDT

The circle of dota 2 life. There's literally no chance that Valve will be able to live up to the crazy hype this sub always creates before a big happening in Dota. Who is ready to be let down by a half-decent compendium with Rylais wheel every 80th level? I know I am! See you guys at the soup kitchen come tomorrow, with our new immortals and TP effects ♥️

'Twas the Day of the Battlepass

Posted: 08 May 2018 08:14 AM PDT

'Twas the Day of the Battlepass, and all thro' the sub

The shit posters were stirring, from pros down to nubs;

Their wallets were ready and opened with care,

In hopes that Lord Gaben soon would be there;

The poster's jimmies were rustled as time passed along,

Thinking "Goodness, this Battlepass sure does take long";

And my squad in the Discord, and I (while at work),

Were sat watching /new/, passing time as we lurk,

When out upon Twitter there arose such a clatter,

So I jumped off of reddit to see what was the matter,

Away to a new tab we all did converge,

With the speed of a Dark Seer having freshly cast Surge;

When what did my wandering eyes go to meet,

An illustrious sight, yes, a glorious tweet,

"But who is the author?" I asked, feeling shaken,

"Why, my good friend, it's none other than Gaben!"

So we opened the link, and we started to read,

Figuring out just how many Battle Points that we'd need,

"New Treasures! new, Music! new, Cursors! new, Taunts!

Free Items! new Particle Effects you can flaunt!

But that's not it; for a quarter of the Passes you buy,

Will contribute to the Prize Pool of this year's TI!"

We couldn't believe it, we all started to scream,

But I was growing suspicious that it all was a dream,

For while I remembered what the Dota 2 Twitter had said,

I'd forgotten that Vave had quite often misled,

Not maliciously, see, for lying isn't a crime,

But rather, we forgot, they go by Valve Time.

[Translation] VP.RAMZES666 on Epicenter XL and current meta trends

Posted: 08 May 2018 11:34 AM PDT

Just so that the subreddit isn't completely ran over by the TI Compendium drama (hopefully it drops not too deep into the night, I have university to go to), I've translated a short interview with Ramzes taken shortly after Epicenter XL. Nothing too revealing there, but should provide a pro outlook on the current meta. Original on cyber.sports.ru.


- Luna. 65% winrate. Why she's suddenly so strong and popular?

Because dual lanes are now a thing. It's mostly the aura and Beam on early levels that make her strong. She gets online very fast.. I dunno, quite a normal hero.

- What about Gyrocopter? 64% winrate, up more than 20 compared to DAC.

Well, that's just how the hero works. He's most often played as a carry, and to my knowledge, we're the only team that puts him mid (because No[o]ne is a beast on him). But frankly he's almost unchanged, even got a bit weaker with the Flak Cannon nerf.

- Now Aghs is built on him a lot. Was it the Flak change that warranted it?

I've never build Aghs on Gyro myself. It wasn't even on our radar until recently. Now it's built mostly for farm acceleration and stats – fairly strong.

- You used to completely own with Gyro at Katowice. Why are you not picking him now?

Initially we decided not to pick the heroes we liked during our March run at all – DP, for example. But then the patch came out, we went on holiday after DAC, then my birthday happened – all in all, we haven't prepared anything at all and in scrims just picked heroes we never tried before – to no success.

- You still liked Lifestealer, Slardar, Troll – the team's signature heroes. Are they really that strong or you just wanted to stick with heroes you knew best?

They're quite strong, but you never pick a hero in isolation. The draft needs to be balanced. First pick matters a lot now, it's a lot harder to pick second. Almost every team chooses to pick first if they can, so the coin toss is crucial.

- Io was almost perma-banned at Epicenter. Is the dual-lane meta to blame?

Not exactly. He was buffed patch after patch. The last one allowed him to tether to BKB-ed heroes, which completely broke him. Combine that with the Relocate cooldown talent at 25 and the XP talent at 10, and you get the strongest hero in Dota right now.

- So is he destined to never escape the ban phase?

I mean… the meta will balance itself out, like it always does. Teams will start to let him through, draft around and against him, he'll get nerfed a bit in the next patch, and then it'll be back to Disruptor again.

- At Epicenter you picked Slark, Luna and TA after losing to them. How often does it happen when you lose to a hero and think "wow is it good"?

We always study replays after losses, discuss our mistakes. Even before we lost to Na'Vi I knew Slark was a good hero, since he had his HP regen buffed. His main weakness was in laning: if he was pressured enough, he just couldn't come online ever. But with the regen change he's now like the old Terrorblade: eventually he'll get his and wreck you. So, Valve completely killed TB, but Slark kind of took his place in the meta.

Mods, after compendium release can we get a number on how many accounts have been banned?

Posted: 08 May 2018 11:45 AM PDT

Cause I see posts appearing and disappearing every second and I am legit interested.
