Just keep playing and that will stop, you're still playing in the pool of players who are like you, first time players in their first 100 games. Not everyone sticks with it so they quit for many reasons. "Oh fuck this game it sucks/that asshole yelled at me/its not league of legends/I'd...

That's a round to tell your kids about.

I am endlessly jealous of your luck in this fucking game, plus it seems you can make anything work. So don't let my bitterness at being horrid at this game cloud this statement, I just imagine tales of you getting 10 matches every board for 2 hours, and then I sob inside.

I've been all over the place deciding what to do, and my box has confounded me, any opinions on what the strongest team I can field. I have 2 tamdra - I take it padherder doesn't require a link now? I've got a lot of shit. PADherder: Dandain - Monsters

After a couple of months of being irritated at this game, I got a new phone so migrated my data. Ended up with an android tablet in the house after xmas, so my wife has been rerolling for the last couple days, I told her to wait for a lucifer - I half expected her to keep rolling into and...

Main thing Witcher 3 has going for it is that it just has a wider install base of people who will play it than those games listed. Its a darker, grittier, crueler more adult world than most of what we see made, not that its obscene, but it isn't necessarily as censored. I definitely agree...

Nexon sponship ended tonight, fengyun 3/4th place game going now - finals after. Nexon might be worth a watch, the games were entertaining.

I play a lot of games, when the whole team decides its gone ultra sideways I don't block progress on letting the game be finished. And I don't stay in the fountain to be camped.

Go to skyrim.nexusmods.com and use the nexus mod manager there. It streamlines mod installation and usage its just one button click and very convenient.

The only peeve I have in games is when teams don't close it out when they can and farm far more of an advantage than they need. I don't mind staying in games most of the time, and the reasoning is where else are you going to practice making plays from behind if not during a successful...

Support in Dota is deep and challenging, Early game supports often get to play the initiator. Understanding if the lanes are winning or losing can allow a rotation that can turn around an upside down lane or snowball a lane with an edge even harder. The biggest thing about warding that I...

Probably the biggest thing when ganking mid is where the creep equilibrium is and how safe or aggressive the enemy hero is being. If the enemy hero has an escape you probably need 2 disables to get the kill, if the enemy hero is like OD or SF - just be ready to punish them for being out of...

Undying is a good hero - he just has no stun and is melee - which makes putting him into a lane where he can be effective a chore. Rule against undying though is either you can kill the tombstone or you are running away from that fight. You never want to be stuck in a fight with infinity...

I disagree with this in higher bracket solo queue at least, often times the team with the superior supports win the game because of the advantages they grant in the early game - ganking warding counter warding, rotations. These things can snowball a game or delay it long enough to get a...

The archers were definitely a bitch, I'll give you that. Given the size and scope of the game however it is quite easy to overlook that bullshit and laugh about it afterwords. Best part of this thread is everyone chimes in with those fucking archers.

Also unless tongfu is in the states, or you queue onto chinese servers I'm quite certain it wouldn't be them anyways. This is the profile of the player, pretty much a troll I'd say. http://dotabuff.com/players/115664493

I don't know what you mean, have you ever played the game a second time? I don't think any death in darksouls is cheap, once you understand the game systems. Learning the areas and making mistakes is part of learning the game - that's the fun. Which deaths in Dark souls to you were...

You'll figure it out - and it will feel amazing.

Don't let the reality of a number dictate your enjoyment of the game, you don't have to play ranked if it gives you stress. My personal improvement in dota always comes over time and not all that rapidly. I like having a number so I can just quantify where I stand overtime. If you get...

You had to live in very good metro areas - like cali or places on the east coast to generate sub 120 pings on modems. I played Quake (non-QW) and modem humped on the west coast on the stanford servers - kitty1 which were active day and night 24/7. Modem players typically had 160-240 and...

Dota has three modes of play for ranked. Keep in mind though that dota doesn't gate its heroes - so some of these modes would be awkward to say the least for league to implement. All Pick - Zero Bans - All heroes in the pool - Simultaneous choice - no order. Captains Draft - The game...

Just how new are you? Just trying out dota or familiar but just want to focus your play?

All I can say is there is 150 people in the dota rerolled guild, of all skill levels, I highly recommend dota 2 if your goal is competitive. League has a very long hero accumulation process as well as masteries/runes/account levels so if those kind of things interest you as progress then...

Its not speculation, you can play one game of ranked, and use the console commands I mentioned above to see the elo that your account is working with after 1 game. Your future wins/losses adjust it from that point and after 10 games it becomes visible. Quite simply, there is no way to...

Play Dota or League and hate your friends forever.

3 gig patch holy shit.

Cyni posted but it isn't bullshit, your elo was already known to the system. There is a console command to find out what the game believes your elo is if you have at least 1 ranked game. Open the console - type in developer 1. The second command is dota_game_account_debug. It will give...

I just think its early to jump the gun on what valve will do - they are a massively creative company who time and again has launched ideas that just work and work the best and work first. But with many many skeptics, keep in mind that what steamOS might do that people aren't really expecting is...

somewhere between 92-93 percentile. So top 7% I went 7/3 came out at 4259. the breakdown on ELO that valve posted; To give you a feel for the range of MMR, below are some MMRs corresponding to various percentiles. 5% 1100 10% 1500 25% 2000 50% 2250 75% 2731 90% 3200 95% 3900...

Keep in mind the first 10 games - especially if you've played much dota don't seem to be hugely impactful on your rating. People have gone 2-8 and ended up like 4200, fear went 5/5 and got 5286.

I know most people here don't play dota 2 or teamfortress before it, but Valve's plan I believe is to get the the steam OS out there because they know that the community at large will create a lot of apps for it. Much like all the user created cosmetics in Dota 2. Valve doesn't even have...

Just be ready for how much about the game you still won't know even after all the guide reading and bot games. But that's the enjoyment of Dota, never ending improvement is possible.

Glad to hear you're having fun, game is great. If you like playing the support role, I personally find playing support in dota much more enjoyable than league. If you need an invitation into the forum guild - join the chat channel FoH inside the game client - Same to you Drtyrm - Anyone...

If the goal is to use results to quantify your rank the system has to keep challenging its assumptions about where you belong. The only players who escape the 50% winrate, are the very top percentile. Everyone else wins about 50/50 over time - but you will still rank rank up when you...

I only read both threads because I've played both, have friends who play both, and if you watch esports you gotta make an attempt to see what other games are about. The character turning is definitely something that a lot of people have no experience with and think is lag especially after...

His ult doesn't make him immune, any ground target skills that hit stealth I believe can still strike him in ult, although I'm uncertain about damage. Due to the changes you also don't buy detection against Slark - which I think is a benefit to most pubs. I know like sand kings ult will...

7700 gold is a huge commitment and I just have a hard time comparing the 5k gold from dagon 5 vs many many other options. Shiva's offers an AE nuke + slow and the aura, sheep is sheep. I think its hard to argue that Shiva's in a teamfight or hex arn't worth at least 800 magic damage before...

Right so, what was said above in a nut shell. If the dagon becomes ineffective because its only level 1, upgrade it but if it is still doing exactly what you need it to do at level 1, transitioning into a larger item like a sheep stick is more gold efficient.

2720/3970/5220/6470/7720 is the cost of dagon 1/2/3/4/5 Statistically you gain 8 intellect and +400 damage to the nuke for 5000 gold. 5000 gold is more or less another very large item. Rare is the game where increase in the dagons nuke damage is the difference between securing a kill or...

Biggest thing with dagon is its almost never worth it to upgrade it - but the first tier dagon finished early enough can be a great pickup.
