the high tier in aus servers is the best higher tier anywhere. though, normal is pretty bad, because essentially, if you fuck up, you get flamed to no end, and if you do well, you get praised to no end. also, no russians

Dat Backdoor.

2Gbs Patch, when I was downloading it, I really doubt about my game was uninstalled itself or something.

Oh well, nice sets... still waiting for the Warlock Ward.

Lot's of new things, mostly on the store, also the performance graph for played heroes has been changed, it's a lot better now, at least for me, I used to have really high performance heroes that I don't really use well, and Shadow Fiend, Pudge, and Storm Spirit really low on performance despite I perform really well with them.

Also I didn't even notice it was that big.

The silly thing is that they aren't being sorted by rank anymore, it sorted by... nothing really.

looks like it's sorted by the old performance ratings still.

e\ went from almost full to 20% on some heroes and vice versa xD

I wouldn't have noticed there was an update if it wasn't for someone telling me to update, auto-updates are fun.

The new performance bars seem to be solely based on win loss ratio, though. Well, definitely better than the previous system.

Yeah just noticed this last night, W/L ratio is not really good to depict performance, but then again, the old performance system was bad too, and at least if you win a match, or if you lose it's partly because of you so... yeah.

Outworld Destroyer -> Outworld Devourer.

DotA 1 names will always remains, Destroyer = Obsidian, Nature Prophet = Furion, etc.

^Like HoN, you can still call everything by their DotA names

And look like an enormous twat doing it.

it lets you queue searching only for players with the same language setting.

English
Chinese
Russian.

Anyway, it won't work.

they missed windrunner buff

Windrunner: Increased bust size, exposed cleavage

Say what you want, but Valve is at least trying to address the Russian problem. They gave them their own servers, and now this. Maybe it'll help a little bit.

It won't help, I know this...they exist to ruin your online life...

Oh you.

I'm playing on US East and the only game I had russians in was the game where there were two on the other team and they dual laned QoP and SF mid against my invoker.




I had 2 divines by the end.

wex op

supporting 4 carries. Thank goodness it's fruitful

41 kills in total in our team (i randomed him btw)

You should never pick that hero

Even if you random.

Or if you do, you really should have micro skills to jungle, lane & do ganks at the same time. Else the hero is totally wasted

At least you got a number of assists almost equal to the number of deaths.

get a tranquil boots, rush dagger on him, farm kills and win the game /o/

People ruining games with Meepo should be banned from life. Yesterday I got to play with some guy who randomed Meepo, failed the whole game and used as an excuse "I don't know how to play Meepo", fact: he kept pretty much suiciding against everyone, which means you just don't know how to play.

Swag meepo.

That's what scares me about random, there are several heroes "anyone" can use, meaning some supports, basic carries, etc, but then you got some others you MUST know how to play, meaning Chen, Meepo, Enchantress, pretty much any hero that requires either micro or some special knowledge. Meaning that whenever you have your retarded mates random there is a chance they will get some of those heroes and ruin the game.

A.K.A. Lone Druid.

But you can not expect too much from pubs, specially when you're not in party and your teammates are the first to pick 4 carry heroes (Mortred, Drow, Templar, Sniper), most of them considerated "pussies" by range attack or perma invi state (Gondar, Riki, Weaver).

Funny. That seldom happens in my matches (at least here in SEA). Usually, people actually pick support or utility after noticing that the team really needs one.

Yesterday we've been with my Dota 2 crew, picking all carrys and laughing our asses off.

We won 30/8 with every tower almost full hp. That was fun
