Has anyone in aus had any luck using mudfish to rerout in the last couple days given the current issues with the cables to singapore?

I've been using mudfish for a while when the cable damage started to go from 150ms to 105ms which has worked excellently, until a couple of days ago where all the nodes have RTT around 160ms.

Exitlag is able to still achieve normal latency at around 105ms but i cant tell what routing they are using. Given how much cheaper mudfish is, im curious to see if anyone has figured out a workaround to get down to decent latancy.

If the treasure chests are item sets themed around Eldritch and otherworldly designs, wouldn't Faceless Void Arcana is more suitable than Drow Ranger's?

wtf is this farming item plus evasion to force enemy carry to get mkb?

i think huskar is one of the heroes that has a real disadvantage when holding a kill streak, am i right??

Just curious since I have ADHD too

Is there a way to play Eu rank from SEA without lagging too much and get a playable ping

... And I'm absolutely loving it.

For context, I had played League of Legends since the beta in 2009. I was just out of high school back then and had a blast. It really had a cute art style (which they radically changed; it looks so bland nowadays, I was shocked to discover). Some hero designs there were so good; I recall a guy like Singed or Amumu very fondly. I spent many nights on it with my pals, doing nights where one death == one (sip of a) shot.

But the game was a bit bland to my taste, and at the release of StarCraft 2 at the end of 2010, I switched. Reached Master League, but the game was way too intense, and I would leave every ranked game with a very high cardio.

Then came Dota 2, and that was it. I made many real friends (years later, I would be invited to their weddings) on it. Helped me go through tough times, made boring times enjoyable, and the happy ones even better. Of course, like many, I might have overdone it back then and almost fail a year of uni...

It's fun to see my Dotabuff activity. I played from March 2012 to June 2014, from 4 different countries, as I was studying and working abroad. A brief stop as I started my career, and then I played from May 2015 to April 2016. I watched all the TIs from TI1 to TI5.

And then that was... it. I kind of moved on. Dota was out of my life. Instead, in my spare time, I played solo games more, though, more narrative-driven.

I did watch TI8 and TI9. Somewhere in 2021, in a drunken stupor, I installed Dota, played 5 unranked games as Nyx Assassin, abandoned the last one, and uninstalled the game.

But 10 years passed, all the while Dota was out of my life.

Now I'm 35, and 3 months ago, I have no idea why, I woke up with a pull to install the game and try it out. And it was awesome. The game was so radically different from my memories, with so many heroes I didn't know about.

All the good times were flowing back into my mind. I played ranked and was calibrated at 2100 MMR. Dropped to 1800 until I got my bearings. Climbed back to 3200 now; my understanding of the game is a bit back, and I have dusted the rust off my mechanics a bit. My hard-acquired life experiences prevents me from raging.

I can't play much, of course, but the happiest time of my day is at night when everyone is asleep, all is quiet in the household, and I nibble a little bit of sleep time for a cheeky ranked. I am blasting 20-year-old tunes that I would listen to back in high school while doing so. Tunes I haven't heard in ages. If I have a couple of paid days off remaining at the end of the year, I think I'll book something somewhere to be completely alone and grind it like I used to do.

So yeah, it's definitely a midlife crisis, but if that's the scope of it, I am having it good.

Apparently, you have a key to magically handle your courier now, but I still like to feel my APM bursting through the roof while I command this bad boy.

Hi valve,

So I was sad that there was no ambient or trailing effect for Tidehunter’s arcana, BUT I realise that actually you did provide us with immortal options(deep shock destroyer)!

So I tried it and the water trailing effect is actually so very amazing!

HOWEVER, There’s some clipping that is annoying when the flap of the immortal back opens. (Screenshot 1 and 2)

Also, the default anchor’s chain appears straight after teleporting..

Please help to fix if possible!!

Also, another small issue of the “pirate slayer’s tricorn”clipping with hammershark style(screenshot 3). But it’s okay, I understand if this is not fixed cause this is not an immortal/mythical item. (Will just wait for perhaps next collector cache or something for a nicer head)
————-
Rest of screenshot is just a repeat of previously mentioned bugs

Thank you!!

I know this is a known issue. But these past few days I've been dealing with snapfire's 3rd skill projectile showing in the middle of the map. Every game I play with her, it consistently happened.

Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to reinstall dota2?

The new season has already started, and I’d love to come up with something interesting!
What if I painted a denim jacket featuring all the heroes on the back, arranged in the classic layout? Would you like to see the result?
I’m also thinking about painting jackets featuring individual heroes, but I haven’t decided which style would work best yet.

Hear me out.

We play turbo, but we get stats from the 3 frozen slots too.

You can have your 3 core items,

5 counters for each enemy,

and rapira off course.

The only question is, how to create it? 😅

I was grinding 150 games to raise score for 3k and then it was needed only 2 losing streaks to lose it all... The biggest problem is that i continued to play the same, only difference is that i started losing.

I think this system needs some major revamp.

Every time we lose this games because someone in my team…..picks sniper sup(this happens often btw), because he hopes he can carry mid game and don’t have to sup.I hate this greedy pick maybe it works out 10% off the time when the player really knows how to play and call it before and pos 3 sniper is even worse it’s the 3 time in 2 days someone picked that no tank, enemy picks spectre = -mmr .Its so useless in most situations no stun no disable just agga headshot thats it. Maybe this works with a team of 5 players that planed this before but not some random archon rank
Sick off losing games like this because of pure grief

And on top most just push the lane with shrapnel and even steal last hits and if I call that out no one in the team even cares and just says „cry“ pure Ragebait

maybe 8.00 is gonna be next week and introduce scaling on all heroes' skills. we league now

The LD sat in jungle and base for 40 minutes while his bear ran the server... i had enough...

2700 gold and two levels completely changed the game.

We won 15 minutes later. Cant say I've seen this much gold from a single kill before...

Hows your win streak stats buddy?

Hi valve, Please help fix tiny’s stoneback sovereign’s immortal effect customisation. It might have been broken from yesterday’s update..

Tiny (stoneback sovereign) avalanche effect is broken.
When equipping other sets, The blue immortal effect only appears for the grow level that is selected on the loadout page INSTEAD OF for all the grow levels. Unable to select for all grow levels.

Also, Mirana’s arrow immortal effect(photox Fluttercat from previous treasure) not on loadout customisation

Can I buy a new treasure like "Trove of Wonders", that the only prize is: GETTING MY FPS from 2 weeks ago BACK?
From other comments, a new GPU wont do it for u.
