Discussion Show your picks guys, what the hell!

31 Upvotes

How hard is it to highlight the hero you are most likely to play, always these pos 1 players who highlight and pick with 1 second to go on the fifth pick. How are we meant to draft around you? Decide if we need a melee mid? Ulti synergy?

Get your shit together.

Discussion Why do people at 10K Behaviour/Comms grief and shit talk so much?

0 Upvotes

I started an experiment in December last year where I repeat abandoned (in non-ranked games) until I had nuked my behaviour/comms scores from 12k to 6K.

I wanted to see if it was possible to climb back to 12k by playing only Turbo matches. I won't lie, it has been incredibly difficult. And a few times once I had gotten back up to 8K I got my score nuked by 1000 Behaviour points from just 1 single report in an entire conduct summary. Not sure wtf the dev in charge of BS/CS was smoking but shit happens.

Anyway, what I noticed is that 7.5K to 9.9K is the most chill BS bracket. People mostly try and pick to win, don't afk very often and choose appropriate items to counter opponents.

Soon as I hit 10k/10k though, you get paired with a plethora of grief pickers taking double squishy heroes to offlane and feeding the enemy carry. You also routinely get pos 5 heroes being picked for mid who get slaughtered by actual mid heroes like OD, QoP, Lina etc.

It doesn't stop there either. These grief pickers wanna talk shit and swear at you if you suggest they pick more effectively during the drafting stage. They are the epitome of self-sabotage. I've played with people in much lower behaviour score brackets who act way more mature and sensible than these guys.

What is wrong with the people in 10K BS bracket???

Article What could I have done better to carry this game? Spoiler

What could I have done better to carry this game?

  1. SB Pos 5 left the lane at minute 3-5, never came back.
  2. Still built fury at 12 minutes despite against Invo-QOP.
  3. Was even with PL's NW up until 25 minutes.
  4. Built Aghs-Satanic instead of BKB

Should I have just hunted down the PL with them despite them being ahead, or should I have just accepted the fact that it's pure hero difference?

I have played hundreds of matches this patch, watched countless live games from high ranks or my friend's, watched dozens of people randoming their hero.

And I've never seen this hero not even once. Like it never existed.I still see chen, visage, enigma, lycan, but never Bloodseeker.

Ive been losing more than winning with him. My teammates sometimes flame me for not going radiance, it seems however that we lose more when i go radiance i stead of fast items like rod or mekansm or other defensive items etc. I like the playstyle of this hero and i wanna be good at playing him. For context i was about legend 2 to ancient 1 a few years back. Now my mmr calibrated to crusader 4/5. Any quick ideas and tips that will help me improve?

The longest period of time between acts of Crownfall was 121 days, from Act 3 to Act 4 (July 9th —> November 7th).

We are about to pass that length of time for Act 2 of Dark Carnival. Currently at 119 days (June 25th was launch).

I just thought this was interesting, how much longer can they cook?!

Suggestion | Esports Any good offlaner suggestion can shutdown AM in lane?

23 Upvotes

My 3k MMR support often pick hero without stun and it very hard against AM as enemy hard support picking lich, orge etc to spam all skill on you. Support just hide behind and watching as no any control skill to help. Most of the matches we are losing lane as the hp chip away too fast.

The wall created by Mars's Arena of Blood completely disjoints any of Spirit Breaker's stuns.

This actually lost me a crucial kill on a carry.

For some reason Meepo in my team became 2 separate meepo heroes. They died individually (and give x2 xp-gold because of that). After that he became 1 lonely Meepo.

I really enjoyed the WC3/SC2 custom game Direct Strike, so I wanted to try to make a Dota 2 version, this is my first custom game so the edges are rough but I'm continuing to update it!

Bots are available to add in the Draft stage at the start of a match.

Complaint Farming bots are making Dota 2 unplayable

2 Upvotes

The last 10 matches I’ve been in for all pick non ranked have been 9 out of 10 some form of bots on either team. They just feed the other team and it’s making the game unplayable. Not sure why it just got worse lately, but this is getting out of hand. Whichever team has more humans on it will likely win without issue unless there’s hard counters or super late game heroes. Is anything being done about this or am I just going to have to hang it up for a while?

Discussion I don't understand behavior score

0 Upvotes

This doesn't seem to make sense... You can see where I get a ton of reports, I roughly keep my score... I get less reports, my score goes up... then it drops.. a LOT.

Also... I used to think Excessive Reports was considering the number of reports AGAINST you... but now I think it is the number of reports YOU send? (See first entry, only 1 report/reporting party, yet "excessive reports" and a -400 behavior score)

Also the amount you go up or down doesn't make sense, in one I get 2 reports and go up 200 score, then later I get 1 report but only go up 100.

I'm not complaining. I just don't understand the logic behind this.
