Nice reply. The main thing I will add to what Pyros posted is that decide what you're looking for out of this genre of games. The brilliance of these games in my mind is that they somehow manage to be amazingly fun, challenging, cooperative 5v5 games, with near unlimited depth at all...

EE and Artezy both tweeted they think NAR is toast cause of the drow pick. Interesting to have game 5 tomorrow intense and unfortunate all at the same time.

yeah page 15 of that link with the double column comparison plus the preceeding stuff is pretty sketch.

I'm not sure why my name got brought into whatever this is, party is open to the guild all the time sutekh, if you want to join in its available. But regardless of this dick waving contest you're both on my friends list. Sutekh shows 4200 solo. Luxer shows 4377 In Solo. So kiss and...

Site bugged out.

So reading that 4.8 blog or w/e + some of the comments. What exactly does Riot define "counterplay" as - does this just mean that if an enemy attacks you you get time to push buttons before you die? That if you both push buttons the trades are even?

Inside the client? No that's people inside the game watching the matches.

I think you should really let them experience a steam sale or two, this is a game I would absolutely buy for 5 bucks, but not at full price. I think there is a lot of people like me who would do the same. Sales on digital titles really drive profits compared to sales on say brick and...

Unless you're stacking, or past 4k a bit, you will almost never see anything but +/-24. Largely this has to do with wait times for players at the high end - and the fact that the mmr's become more spread out due to less total players - if you check back a few pages you'll see some games at...

I agree, its honestly no different than the Colts resting Manning and losing week 17 with backups past the first quarter. It can screw someone out of a playoff spot, but too bad they shouldn't have lost that many games if their fate wasn't in their own hands. This is a problem with round...

Liquid making a great lineup change, who knows if it will help - TC more like the 2, qojqva the 1. Best change I think they have available I think it makes them dangerous.

What's the rate of point gain for just playing in regards to compendium rewards?

The games have begun, and teamliquid has launchedLiquid Dota - Dota 2 Community and Newswhich should be a good hub for an casual watchers, or people new to dota - especially during ti4. The right hand side contains boxes for each of the 4 qualifier streams, including the twitch links, the...

He's not burning the house down, but he had 250 picks in 6.80 in pro games just filtering by patch on datdota. datDota: Venomancer

Gotta love the scale of what riot does with its esport, home crowd roar for fanatic in their 1 win, amazing. Not my fav game, but respect.

Seems like I'm missing some of the key devils for the lu bu/ronia setup. I have persephone, DJ, Vamp - but no Ronia myself. I'd pretty much have to make a dark version of the team - my red monsters are thin.

My luci team had no problem making it to the third stage, but the amount of grind on the previous two was so long I'm not certain I can handle farming them yet. Soon though. What would be the most desired subs of a Lu Bu / Ronia team?

I think that's another idea to throw into the mix, but any combination of picks/bans/rules that create more circumstance where more niche picks can have a space created for them by creativity and misdirection in the draft would be very welcome.

I really only watch Korean Leagues and Cloud9 when I catch them, but I agree it needs more bans. I'm not all that convinced it would open up the hero pool. With just 6 bans we still end up with the same 20 or so champs dominating the average game. With more bans it will still be 20 champs...

Fear is a much more diverse player than mason. Mason will not take EG past DK, Fear can. PPD/Zai/Universe/Arteezy winning games with mason and envy is what Fear needed to see. He finally has a roster that he can depend on. PPD is a top tier drafter, and the EG support duo impacts...

If you're sick of League, give Dota a shot - they added an interface option to place the Minimap in the bottom right like league. I figure that patch change was for league players only. Just a PSA. Back to your League stuff I'm out! And it has built in voice =p.

Sea god and beautiful being alleviate the need to run wed/thurs mat dungeons. But the Dub-Mythlits only drop from the very last set of dungeons. I hope that my metatron or at least my luci can grind one of the levels there eventually. I guess I just need to see what happens and slowly...

You are arguing an extreme edge case of the matchmaking system. Any MMR or ELO or whatever system depends on having a shitload of players to make it work correctly. As people approach the top end of skill the amount of potential matches shrinks. At 6am EST occasionally the matchmaker...

Unless you're around 4500 solo ranking, the matchmaking you see on pro streams is absolutely nothing like it is for the rest of the dota population. And if you're not 5k+ you won't see disparate MMR's near as often or as wide. Its pretty simple to understand what the system tries to do and...

So I haven't really progressed my account past sea god, but I'm in dire need of dub-mythlits to do anything in my box. Are the levels prior to zeus in the final normal dungeon simple enough to grind with my luci team where they can random invade?. I have to do something different than run the...

They are leaving a lot of money on the table by not porting this to PC. Its unfortunate we don't get to judge the games combat system with both a controller and a mouse and keyboard setup. I'd buy it if it was on PC, but not a console.

The first two were both really great, surprisingly so, an excellent blend of james bond/austin powers.

I started following your God only rule DF and have much better luck of at least rolling a slightly higher % of total gods. But its hardly enough sample size. I had 6 pulls - and for my LTron team that I been building I kinda wanted a venus. I wasn't going to spend any of my pulls but...

This is unique to your experience, I have had zero bugs like this. Have you tried uninstalling steam or made sure all key bindings are reset (since they are stored in cloud).

The International - Dota 2 Championships TI invites - honestly I can't complain about the guaranteed list I think its accurate. Europe: Na'Vi Alliance Fnatic Empire China: DK IG VG Newbee SEA: Titan NA: EG Cloud9 I think its pretty sweet they immortalize the 5 man...

I think the changes are good see how they settle, I like the small approaches and extending a little more creativity into the aghs ultis

I think you misunderstand, I'd consider league to be pretty competitive if you log in to play ladder and rank up - just because bronze or silver or diamond isn't pro play specifically doesn't mean it isn't a competitive endeavor. A unlocked account is at a much greater advantage to have the...

I think Pyros is coming from a more competitive slant however. He is suggesting that not only is the fact it takes 600 bucks to unlock the cast of a moba is way too much money as an aside issue, but it also has a direct competitive balance impact on the game. In the context of league, it is...

I'm not too fond of the way ember interacts with disrupter specifically, when you glimpse field/storm on the spot he can seemingly never be a vulnerable unit while in glimpse or even come out for a fraction of a second in static storm. That said, people just need to counter pick him more...

As hard as they are to pull are you that eager to get rid of them? Couldn't they possibly be useful as multiple subs for some reason, a 50% vs 80% has some stall proponents. Plus maybe there is a water bind?

Right, but I think you're simplifying the presentation to suit your view. Plenty of the most game deciding things in league are "simple" and easy to do alone without consideration for the pure volume of things you are asked to remember which don't always come in the same sequence, the...

Updated Myself (first time my code of my new account) But I've got a Max LvL Rebel Luci +125 eggs and a Ltron I am currently working on as leaders of note. - Also a BRonia but I don't have the cards to play her team but she is evolved lvl 40 and fully awoken.

This is the only part of your advice that is good advice, and quite frankly if you communicate with your team enough that they only engage in favorable team fights then by the fact alone that they are favorable you should win with the game with a string of favorable fights. I looked through...

Server was giving errors. dbl post.

Luci's ultimate evo went live, the +damage is a bit more noticeable than I expected for clear speed, and definitely makes breaking armor on devils and demons substantially simpler. 0ne day I'll pull a spike lead of any kind. I would imagine the only possible downside is blue binds, the...
