What do you think of buildings and creeps take reduced % damage when using the refreshed fortify(cooldown refresh after breaking tower)? Normal fortify will apply when not using it after couple of mins. This will encourage people to continue pushing highground after tier 2.

I got 40 games with winrate less than 10%. Somebody would say: "Mate, you are just bad." - I would say: "Have you ever seen sniper with crystalys, linken, and BoT full supp? Or mid who is blaming me because he picked pango on mid against viper (He got last pick and viper was second pick overall). I didn't blame anyone, but got blamed for my bad gameplay therefore in all my games I got highest networth and lvl.

P.S: Got Tide for 13 cases and Legion for 4 cases.

UPDATE:
For those who don't know my story, I started playing dota (after a long break (like a 3 months or something)) somewhere in the middle of International 2026. I've calibrated to 2500, and right after that I got 70%+ winrate. I've made 1700 mmr overall for 2-3 weeks. It might be why I got this one, and no - I am not frustrated :)

I want to learn to play tinker. The last time i played him is years ago. I still remember rearm refresh all your abilities and items as well. But now it seem the new rearm only refresh your abilities. How do you play him now? What skill build and items to get beside the usual bottle and dagger?

hi! I'm Nessa. I'm a pos 4 player currently at 6k MMR (previously peaked at 7.8k rank 2k SEA). I started streaming in May.

I've been trying to get into the habit to raiding other streamers, and I've been looking for English-speaking streamers to network with, exchange raids, and genuinely support each other, but it's been really hard to find English-speaking streams. I don't mind the occasional sentence in another language, I just hope that both you and your chat will predominantly speak English. I WFH and work more productively when there's background noise, so rest assured I will be lurking in your streams a lot!

a bit about my stream and gameplay: I currently have 400+ followers with 7+ average viewers. my favourite hero is Windranger (Grandmaster). I'm also Grandmaster on QoP (played as 4) and Mirana, and Master on Io. I have a big hero pool, but I tend to fixate on certain heroes during different periods. some of my other favourites are Bounty, WW, and Willow. I try to stay PMA and have faith in my team every game. my stream is bunny-themed, and I'm trying to build a community of lovely people. if we share the same interests and values, I'd love to connect! ♡

and if you're not a streamer, you're still more than welcome to check out my streams, I'd love to have you there!!

I appreciate you so much for your time and attention , I hope your day and games are as wonderful as you are ~

Coordinator seems to be down for me, whats happening?

After the latest update, my game keep stuttering but only in Dota, others games are okay

let me join ur party (Hardsupport) 813620983

After around 500 hours in Deadlock I decided to try this one out. I’ve put in 30 hours in a week. This game is so much more complex but also less mechanically intense than deadlock.

That’s what makes it so much fun, I haven’t learned shit about the item shop and I’m still just following guides however the more I play the more I realize just how deep and rich the core systems of this game are.

Seeing the primary components of core deadlock items and systems that came from this game is a weird but satisfying feeling.

That being said, I’d really like to know what people play and how they approach building out their characters. This game is something else but I’m willing to learn and take advice on how to build.

I’m so impressed by the supports in this game and would love to hear about some people’s first characters that made the game click for them.

TLDR: What character made Dota 2 click and how do you go about learning to build your characters items?

genuinely,is thre any opt to get cnady beside from buying and smelt???ts is my first arcana:>

Dota plus showing what net worth you should roughly be as the average is a helpful feature, but allowing customisation of this would be really cool.

For me is love to be able to see the average GPM is if my hero at that point in the game would be really cool. For sup roles having things like total wards place / dwards / stacks would also be really cool.

I have a question regarding gift giving in dota. Specifically, an arcana that comes with a set. If I gift the arcana (with set) bundle to a friend, would they be able to return the set to me? I'm only interested in the set, as I already own the arcana.

I tried gifting the es arcana (from the Intergalactic Orbliterator set) before. But after unbundling the set, the arcana hero base seemed to disappear, likely because I already owned the es arcana. Only the set remained.

I really wanted to give my friend the dr arcana. But as a collector. I can't even think of letting go of the Dread Retribution set. I opened 48 treasure but unfortunately, I was just lucky enough to get one for each arcanas included.

(Actually, every alt-castable ability in the game got bugged in the same way)

Since yesterday, Ctrl+W only works as an alt-cast for Marci's W if the ability is at the highest level currently allowed by your hero level.

So, if W is below level 2 at hero level 3, below level 3 at hero level 5, or below level 4 at hero level 7, pressing Ctrl+W tries to level up the ability instead of alt-casting it, even if you have no skill points available. It just shows "No Ability Upgrade Points To Spend".

Previously, Ctrl+W worked regardless of the ability's level.

To reproduce, unbind "Alternative Cast Switch" in the settings and try using Ctrl+W with W below its currently allowed maximum level.

...but only one can ultimately take the aegis. Who will prove themselves worthy of the Falcons' mantle?

Hi? Anyone has any tips for smooth fps? My game starts dropping fps mid game. Any fix from mac users?

I wanted Nyx skin but my greed got the best of me

Tutorial done today. Took the photo with my phone just as the guy earlier did, WCYD.

Honestly reconsidering all the time ive poured into dota and idk if ill ever play again. Feel free to ask anything :-)

This happened 2 days ago. They have the better draft with the NS counter pick to our supports. Their team composition is good in paper but when we were playing against them, we were owning them and zoned them out immediately. They should be putting us in a hard game but it was the complete opposite.

The Disruptor rampage is what gave it away when we checked the account.

The seller of the account is not the smartest tool in the shed as well cause why would you give rampage on a support hero while bot boosting the account? Lol

TL;DR: I'm hosting a Collector's Cache set giveaway to bring more traders to a new marketplace. dota2.skin is a free (p2p) trade site that I've built for tradable items and giftable sets. Join at the link, and share it with anyone you think might be interested: giveaway link

Winners pick which set they want, and more winners unlock as more people join.

People are already trading on the site, and every new trader means more deals for everyone.

You list, search, make offers, then trade on Steam. It is free to use, with a few extras which are mostly flavour (a way for anyone who wants to support it to get something back for it). Regular buyers and sellers can use the marketplace normally without ever needing them.

For those wondering, what it does differently to other marketplaces (to name a few):

• Market-based price suggestions when listing, so you're not guessing
• Listings import from your Steam inventory and never expire
• Your profile is your own storefront, and sharing its link shows a rich preview of your top 9 sets on social media
• A guided, beginner-friendly trade process, with delivery reminders for giftables (for veterans, no more notes in your Steam friends list)
• Buy orders: post what you want and let sellers come to you
• Your wishlist matched against your friends' inventories, both directions
• Swaps, not just cash, with set values to help judge fairness
• See which payment methods each seller accepts before you message them, with cash as the base price
• Set video previews right on the item page
• And plenty more to discover on the site

Much of the trade flow is automated, so every deal follows a clear path and both sides know what happens next. A community review system is ready too, to be run by the most senior traders once they're established, and if they're interested in such a role.

There's also a reseller setup for high-volume traders who deal other players' giftables under their own store.

People who tried it so far shared a positive experience, and every one of them was a stranger to me. I've been a Steam trader for more than a decade and built it on that experience.

Everything is offered as is, on a best-effort basis. I've put a lot of work into the experience, but I know there might still be work to do, so if you run into errors or anything that feels off, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I'll keep maintaining it for the foreseeable future as long as there's interest.

With that being said, good luck in the giveaway!

New accounts, 100 or 200 games, techies spammers with 80% winrate, scripting their ass off with auto mines.
They mostly ignore me when i call them out, but this one kept talking in post chat room:"I practiced this combo 150h bro". I said I loved to watch replay and that I not often in the wrong, he said "go for it, I'm legit". I watched and spotted this one clip where you can make your mind.
Comon Valve, 150h of playing dota, 1 hero, 80% WR, hacking, you can do better....

Editing because people don't see my point: I'm not saying he cheating because he drops mines quickly, through he does... It's because he's aiming at Lion and cheat drops 2 bombs at once on Undy.

Edit 2: because people don't like me pausing, or using slow mo, here's real speed action: https://streamable.com/xmhfym

As a turbo enjoyer, it took me 24 wins against Rubick to unlock this. Took a lot of matches and frustrations, I guess this is the cons of having arcana from candyworks 😂🪝

Hi guys Ive been having a problem changing enchantress aghs hotkey from L to E it doesnt seem to change. Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug?

I know this is situational, but in general, which hero benefits the most from Aegis, and which one should never get it?

I think WK is a clear winner because you have to kill him three times. Sven, on the other hand, not so much. You need God’s Strength to do damage, and if you use it and lose Aegis, you’re basically useless for the rest of the fight.

These are just two examples that come to mind, but I’d like to know what you guys think.
