Fuck me I was sleeping while all of that was happening. Does anyone has a video for those Korean games?


EDIT: never mind I can watch it in-game. This is amazing.

And what happened to PL?
He's not picked anymore.
Why?
Because people found a counter and he's out of the meta.
Icefrog is doing a great job at balancing and I can't believe how much effort and thought he puts into + he got damn great talent and the smartness for bringing the right nerfs and buffs.
Sure, some aren't that great, but it's mostly the players themselves deciding what is OP or not. Sven for example was 1st priority picked. No nerfs, no buffs.
What happened? Rarely picked anymore.
Yeah ofc, some heroes are not picked, but that's solely because of the hero concept itself. When somebody created that hero, he got a concept and Icefrog strongly buffs and nerfs around those. And the concept that Brood has right now, he just doesn't fit into meta anymore...
sven got old because there are more better choices than him now (because of the changelogs ofc)

You have to open the chests from frostivus and get really lucky to get the courier. If you want the sakura petals, you have to open the lotus chest, etc.

For me, it's the contrary. I reached very high MM with no problem by solo queuing, but game got boring, and now, I'm having a lot more fun in normals + stacking with my shit-tier friends. Not because stomping scrubs is fun, but because the game atmosphere is so much more relaxing.

That was honestly a retarded thing for him to say, I'd say he certainly deserves all the flak he's getting.

It's not that bad, the angry repliers are actually a very small group (he's still huge and has a large chinese fanbase), and replies have generally been more forgiving after the apology.

Dota drama? I'm not complaining :D

BTW guys, does somebody have the PL, Tusk, or VS steam trading card? I'm looking forward to get the Dota 2 Badge on steam and I'm missing these cards, somebody wants to trade it for other games cards or idk, dota items?

On steam market they are around US$ 0.35 depending on the specific card (unless it's a foil one, that only drops to lvl 10+ steam accounts)

So I'm guessing 1 uncommon?

Anyway, they are worth nothing if you don't use it for the badge lol. add me on steam (userid: "draconiaxd")

Fighting isn't always the solution to reaching your goal. Keep in mind that preventing wars and always trying to maintain peace might be hard, but it will pay off.

wtf noobs just keeps nuking Abaddon while his ult is active

i can tell that im no in high mmr yet by just looking at this
Soulclenz
That's the best way to deal with him though! just keep nuking the hell out of him!
Pizzicato
gotta orchid or silence him when his health is about to drop low
Soulclenz
i find the best method in dealing with him is eul's. just put him in the air when his ult pops that way bad teammates won't hit him by accident.
Icyteru
that's genius....except duration. of course, you can get your friend to buy euls as well.
Soulclenz

[AirCoN] wrote:

ahah, yeah, two euls will certainly ensure that he doesn't heal during his ult, but probably a bit overkill in the long run. by the time he hits the ground and people realize he's able to be attacked again, his ult will be finished or having like 1 second left on it, if that.

Truthfully though, I haven't had any problems with him on enemy teams, and when he's on my team it's great but not ultra amazing. Most pubs out there try to build him as this half chaser/carry which imo is just foolish. Mana boots and mek on him and then he is truly a force to be reckoned with.

This is just my opinion.
dNextGen
i like to build Abaddon as carry aswell in Dota 1 D:
Triskelion91
Back then he was pretty much a carry.

Actually, make that every hero in Dota 1. :lol:
Soulclenz
I don't disagree that he isn't able to hold his own in the late game, I just prefer to see him in the support role over the carry role. His shields and heals can really turn the tide, especially if he has a mek and pipe.
bmin11
I just feel like there is a better carry/semi-carry then him, while his support is massive. Kind of like an opposite situation with Sven case.

butthurt LoL ers on comment section because they reviewed LoL and gave it a rating of 6/10
bmin11
So many reviews @_@

And I really don't get why people are comparing LoL vs Dota with their complexity. Both are complicating enough that people will need to spend days, weeks, or months if they are new to this genre, but nothing comparable once the person is familiar with one or another. It really shouldn't be used as a reason to call either of the game bad/good for lacking complexity or over complicated.

Eh.

Been playing both games for a while now, it really depends. League has a smaller map but you can't teleport around and shit (unless you use the teleport summoner). League doesn't have turn rates, so you also have to think about that. Dota can feel a lot slower just for that reason. There are some champs that are naturally faster in league and some heroes that are naturally faster in dota. The combats of both though, I can't say for certain, but it seems usually League goes a little faster. Then again, everything in dota is EXTREMELY strong feeling compared to league. Like, League will never have higher than like 2.5 second stuns and that shit is like the norm in dota :v
Wishy
League is simpler, which makes it more boring. There are a lot of things you DON'T need to think about because they have been either removed or simplified.

Teleporting around, pushing the lanes back as Windrunner for your team, getting some money along the way, is so much fun.
