DOTA 2

Okay, so I went and watched a video about it and now I'm tempted to buy the level 50 one. It sounds like there's a decent chance that I'd be able to hit 125. I just wonder how many games per week I'd need to play to hit it.

I've been thinking about playing some DOTA again. Do games at the trench tier levels still commonly last 45m+?

Really depends if you win games or not. If you win every single wager you make, then that is 2 levels per week with 1000 battlepoints as your pool. Then you have the weekly quests and the actual path quests which can potentially net you close to a level if you get the rank 3 time/benchmark.

Unless one team starts to steamroll, then yes.

Me and 6 of my friends all got the Jug's heal totem item yesterday from our Tier 1 chest... hrmm. Hardly seems like coincidence.

Golden or normal?

The normal one. Nobody else I talked to got anything other than the normal Jug totem.

I spent $50 and hit level 104. I question whether they held out on new sets for the last 3-4 months just to make the community hungry for this release. At one point, sets were being released weekly and that's definitely not the case anymore, not that I have a problem with it either. Getting a rare seems basically impossible these days. My stack and I dropped a decent amount of money combined and no one hit anything worthwhile.

I think I'll buy lvl 50 and then see what lvl I hit at the end, the immortals are usually cheaper to buy from the market if it's a hero I play often (OMG the weaver one is tits)

I got rainbow enchantress spears.

So on the questline paths. If you don't get a 3 star success, can you go back later and redo it to get a 3 star after you've completed later steps? Cause I'd like to finish the questline to guarantee the skin first, then work on getting the 'special' version of it later.

I'm pretty sure you can redo them, wouldn't make any sense otherwise and TBH this time the special styles look like ass and don't fit the heroes at all.

The compendium brings the noobs out. I am wrecking them so hard.

I think the Level 50 pack gives you enough Treasure Is to get all the commons, doesn't it? Maybe it is one short.

All except one.

Yea, I've found that I've been getting some really, really easy games and with the same flip of the coin getting paired with players that seem like they haven't played in forever. The rage within the new ranked queue I've seen has been impressive.

I generally don't play ranked, but the new ranked queue has gotten some of my friends to drag me into games to 'reset their MMR', and it has been horribly painful. Having heard all them bitch about how the MMR Trench is inescapable, I get the feeling they are right where they belong.

Finally finished the Wind Ranger questline. Trying to go back now and perfect it, but holy hell I suck at double shackle shots.

So after ages I got one of the rare items from a chest, I'm now the proud owner of a golden pussy.

Certain heroes align to certain quests very well. As you mentioned, Sand King is perfect for that one since his ultimate is damage in .1 second intervals or whatever, which makes it super easy. Similarly I breezed through the 250 seconds of hero slows with Veno, got it in about 20 mins of a 30 min game.
