EG is an embarrassment to US players. Liquid has the potential to be really, really good.

No. ARS-Art is Russian, Artstyle is a Ukrainian who doesn't even really play anymore.

Yeah don't edit your config file. You edit your autoexec.cfg. Make sure it's not read only. The config.cfg file is what needs to stay the same. EDIT: Some useful commands for those who might be wondering: -novid (no video on launch) -console (opens the console) For the launch options...

Make sure -console is enabled in launch options? I have trouble bringing mine up without it jumping on launch.

I don't need to show you a game. I have maths. http://pubstats.me/ After your data is parsed you can see your game distribution. Normally I play 60%+ in VH, and paired down occasionally or playing with 2 friends who are newer. Now my VH is sub 50. My winrate is up.

Prepatch I sat at between 60 and 95 VH and never a normal game. Post-patch I win more, but now my VH games are down to 42% and I have a few Normal games in there too. Again this is me winning more with the game dumping me into Shit Queue.

He isn't useless, he's getting picked up now that all his stuns go through BKB. The reason why he is a pubstomper, though, is because people don't carry TPs and don't respond and don't travel together. An SB charging into 4 people isn't smart. And SB can only charge when he has sight. If...

You can actually tell when you watch KP that they ENJOY playing together. They're not just 5 talented guys, they have actual friendships.

I kept a really consistent 60% in DXD and like a 75% just hosting matches with friends. Matchmaking is awful now.

Outword Destroyer, Queen of Pain, Puck, Shadowfiend, Skywrath. Being a good mid does take a bit of finesse, and you have to really land the key last hits on your own creep while denying the enemy his, while keeping an eye on the rune, while making sure you're ready to gank sidelanes (in pubs).

Yep. Matchmaking is worse. Under 50 games played with 2k games played. And my winrate is fine, I'm saying matchmaking is shitty. Just played against a 5 stack. One person on my team was too new to understand warding. Or blinking AFTER he ults as sand king. The rest of the team had...

Hoooo no man. No no no. The matchmaking has been WAY worse recently. Someone asked me where the wards were in the shop. Ancient Apparition didn't level his Q. Undying asked what a Hood was. Also on my team was a 1000 win + NP, and we were both like...what the fuck happened with...

There actually was one for a few versions of dota. It was -unstuck. It was a 1 minute cast time TP. Also, the "We're just trying a new draft for TI3" excuse only works if you play well. VP played like shit in game 4. They threw themselves into melee range at a gyro of all things for a...

A bunch of unforced errors on top of it. The rosh pit-fight where they should've backed after buybacks. The lack of detection against a Nyx at 40 minutes in for a game deciding fight. The continual baits by Nyx where QoP and NP tried to jump a hero. I like VP but they need to get their...

And also you quoted that.

Yeah I don't have a problem with split pushing. As long as there have been Furions there have been games won through split pushing. I don't even understand the complaint. It's frustrating that someone is using a strategy that you dislike? I've lost games to it and won games with it. I've...

Alternate win conditions and ideas keep the game fresh. A couple years ago dual lane mid was standard. I like how lanes are changing and ideas on how to crack a base change. No need to have it go all League of Legends with the exact same fucking team comp every game.

A few times. I normally just remove them from friends, reload the page and add another bot. One time it took 5 times, but that was the worst, normally it works fine.

Yes.

I throw items I have doubles of on long shots, and I have made WAY more than I have lost. You want to talk about insane? Betting FOR Na'vi. 4 rares gets you...less than a rare. There is a 10% chance that, even if you win, all you get back is your own 4 rares.

As predicted, KP did beat EG, and EG looked like garbage even in the one game they took in the series. In about 6 hours we'll see the Na'vi v KP matchup again, and I'm looking forward to it. It's a best of 5, and while I would love to see KP go 3-1 or 3-2, the realist in me says the reverse...

In his current form he can't be a toptier hard carry. His BAT is too low, his attack animation isn't good enough, and his ultimate, while hilarious when it works, is inconsistent and would remain inconsistent even in pro games. You see picks like Naga Siren in comp play even after her nerf...

The Defense.http://www.twitch.tv/joindotaredshould have it even though the stream is offline now. EDIT: Looks like it was rescheduled to be an hour from now, or that could be a the-defense.com screw up. Guess we'll find out.

There's supposedly some drama behind the scenes and it actually might be permanent, or at the very least the guy he's replacing may be let go. EG v KP is in 20, and KP really SHOULD dominate them, but it's been a strange few weeks in dota. EG has never been a team that plays well after a...

No one throws harder than EG. No one. They didn't even get close to qualifying for TI3 KP is looking really good. They went 1-2 against Na'Vi, but if they had drafted like a more experienced team they might have actually taken the series. They're kind of dark horsing it right now and I...

Tourism = Offensive culture. Normal Culture = Defensive culture. You want your Offensive Culture (tourism) to overpower their defensive (and this can be changed with modifiers from techs and policies) until you become Influential with them. I consider it the hardest victory if someone adopts...

Dated, but I loved Encylopedia Brown when I was about 6-10. They made him edgier now (his amazon 4-pack has a "give no fucks" haircut where before he was a nerdy kid with a combover and glasses), but I'd guess it's still pretty fun for that age...

If you ever make a post on dev.dota2 or the discussions about this you get branded a racist, even if your only point is about latency, culture, or general common sense. Then if you ask some Brazilian why he isn't playing on the SA servers he'll say something like "Brazilians suck" and then go...

Game 1 of the Kaipi v Alliance game was great (and KP won the series and they were heavy underdogs). I've been thinking about starting a recap blog or entry system so I've been taking notes as I've watched. Game 1 is what I want to talk about because of the execution of KP. [A] Drafted a...

I wouldn't call it better than House of Cards. It's hard for most people to identify with being in an all-woman jail after having a massive lesbian-dating-drug-dealer phase. The acting is good and the writing ismostlygood. I think HoC was better because anyone can identify with being...

Bro...

EG currently doesn't have a clue. Dota2lounge had their odds at ~50/50 in their matchup against Liquid in ADL and then EG lost 0-3 in a huge blowout. Thankfully I bet 4 rares on Liquid because they're a much better team, but EG just does not have it together recently. I want to like them but...

I own the ASUS one in the OP. Love it.

I can't tell if you're disagreeing with me, so I'll just assume you're not and enlighten everyone else. The Dunedain are...the survivors of Numenoreans.

He is descended from Numenoreans, which translated is "the baller long-lived first men."

Yeah a bunch of casters have done it. Most recently Ayesee did it yesterday when he was talking about Weaver. It makes me want to get into casting cause they have such poor knowledge.

False. MKB does not prevent miss chance up hills. I've never heard "Creep blocking" called "Creep walking." The safelane almost never creep blocks. The long lane can block if it wants. Mid does minimal blocking. The reason being, you don't necessarily want the creep at your tower so...

I really hope you don't have it, and I know you said you had an MRI, but a lot of your symptoms match MS even though that was already suggested by Kirun. In about 10% of cases, especially in younger people, the scar tissue indicating MS is not visible/very hard to detect on an MRI. The speech...

If anyone kickstarted a level of HEX 100 or below and doesn't want it, I'll give you the price of the kickstart + 10 bucks for it. PM me if interested, I missed the KS being busy elsewhere.
