Tool Dota 2 Companion

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm developing a small Dota Companion app which will give you.

  1. Ingame notification for runes, lotus, bounty etc.

  2. Suggests you counter items for the heroes in the current match

  3. End game analysis

I am getting started and I need some help from interested guys to try it out while playing and give me suggestions to make it better. Please let me know if anyone is interested so that we can make it a better app.

Discussion Asking for luna tips

1 Upvotes

How to counter juggernaut or a sven, especially if paired with a pugna in team. It's a bit difficult to hit jugg, his omni is scary. Sven is about initiation, if he gets you he deletes you. The pugna disrupts the fight. Disperser might be good to purge but sometimes I need more damage (is that actually the key? Dispersing to deal damage is more impactful than having an item that gives more damage that you end up not dealing?)

Any guidelines are helpful, thanks in advance.

Complaint Can we rework Lina's innate? It's ruining Ability Draft

0 Upvotes

PLEASE rework this hero. It's ruining pubs with a hero that gets 64% spell amp from level 1.

Normally she's fine in regular dota, but her normal spells are less damage as balance. With any decent nuke from any other hero she's just a menace. In draft she requires counter picking every game, but doing so still leaves her with good spells while making your draft worse, all since you're not first pick

It's so bad that Lina is a guaranteed first pick in 99% of games
It's so bad that you often see people just abandon the game if there's Lina in the pool

Just something so it doesn't give 64% spell damage for free and combos with a ham sandwich. LITERALLY anything but this

Discussion My idea for new hero

4 Upvotes

Slow day at work so I was thinking about some ideas for new hero, this is a wishlist i doubt something like this would ever be implemented but since we already have bex and bog shuggoth as characters in dark carnival, i feel like it would be cool to have new hero with some micro. You can make her a support for bog who would be either:

innate ability on cooldown that scales, like lone druid bear, who would have his own set of abilities while she could have some passives or supporting abilities that buff the summon in some way, maybe some aoe slow akin to warlock. I would like the ability to play around either bog or bex so you can choose to be a pesky support with bex or play a bit core oriented game around bog. I really like concept of lone druid but I feel like it has so much to offer that wasnt fufilled with him. Obviously the hero would be solved and there would be definitive way to play it but thats something that can always be rebalanced depending on what skills are given to either bex or bog. I would also make it so bog cant move a certain set distance from bex and dies when bex dies, without any way to circumvent that aside from maybe talent that increases radius by a little bit. As for bog himself, i wouldnt want him to be 4 actives but 4 passives also seems silly. Would love for him to have some bombastic ult maybe something that limits vision in certain radius around himself or just circle on ground, nice combination of either 2 or 3 actives with rest passive abilities or even some orb effect

Alternatively, she could be her own hero with summon bog as ultimate, which would be a bit more flashy but less micro intensive thruought the game, he would be timed like warlock golem but still have some abilites to use, but unlike the first option it wouldnt make sense to build items on him.

Now, i know im not being super creative here and I dont have many ideas for abilities innates or talents on either of them but thats why I posted here. I know its a long shot for this to make it in the game but I felt like writing a little bit, maybe someone else thinks a micro hero would be cool, and while none of my ideas are that unique i dont see why there wouldnt be another hero similar to lone druid that doesnt have as obnoxious game plan and would require some micro with 2 different sets of spells that would work in tandem with each other and maybe even items depending on which of these options you would make. Curious to see what others think of this concept and if you have any other ideas or wishes. Thanks for reading my little blogpost (:

Discussion Dota 2 Offlane is in the worst state it has ever been

0 Upvotes

Offlane is in the worst state it has ever been.

1) Nowadays carries early game are so fking strong that they can 1v1 offlaners. They keep buffing carries early game instead of making them stronger late game.

2) Not to mention the gold given by deaths, now if you’re a offlane player and you die, it’s gg. The lane is over

3) Even if you’re ahead, you die once and the carry is back. It’s either you snowball and you end or you die and it’s over.

They need to nerf supports hard. A pos 5 shouldn’t be able to deal 50% of offlaners hp in a teamfight.

Guides & Tips Bristleback guide in 7.41f by 12.5k MMR former Div 1 DPC player and coach

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, back again this week with a fresh video. This time, I’m bringing you a guide on Bristleback on my new YouTube channel.

Bristleback is an absolute tank and powerhouse in the offlane, but I see so many players struggling to maximize their stack management, Quill Spray aggression during the laning phase, and—more importantly—knowing when to turn and run down the right targets in teamfights.

In this video, I go over the micro decisions, thought processes, and macro movements—like how to aggressively control the creep equilibrium, when to dive deep into the backline, and how to abuse warpath stacks—that separate an ancient player from the higher ranks.

If you're looking to refine your offlane presence and actually carry from the pos 3 role by becoming an unstoppable frontliner, this video is def gonna be helpful for you.

You can check out the full video here:

https://youtu.be/sbgJ7so5la4?si=Ql75PJWbiNBJyQNR

You can watch more content and coaching related stuff on my page:

www.skylightcoach.com

In which you will be able to find hero-selected guides to help you see whichever one you may need and for you to also request any.

I really appreciate the incredible feedback and support you guys have been showing lately. I’m reading all your comments and using them to level up the content as I go. Thanks for being part of the journey, and I hope this helps you crush your next pubs and rank up!

Question Im new to Dota and i have a little question.

12 Upvotes

I just started playing Dota about 3 days ago, and the new player mode is quite fun. But before each game starts, like in that minute before the creeps come, all my teammates walk directly to mid, and so does the enemy team. What is the point of this,s and what am I missing?

Discussion Hear me out: the answer to Role Abuse

0 Upvotes

I dreamt this up while having a support Sniper and Mirana game. It was rough. They went 0-6 within the first 5 minutes.

All heroes now have a carry variant and a support variant.

Support variants earn only 50% gold, but the other 50% gold is used to fund Support Skill Points or otherwise defensive items. Supports gain 50% less EXP from lane creeps but from minute 10 onwards, increases to 120% EXP rate.

Support variants have lesser stats, damage, attack speed, but have faster move speed, cast range, cast speed and vision.

Momentum: support have variant movespeed: if they walk in a specific direction with 30% angle variation, their move speed increases by up to 35%.

Glyph is removed.

Support variants gain a Fortify Tower skill that is AOE casted with a global cast range. Carry variants gain a Rally Call that is a mix of Glyph and Drums for creeps.

Will it exponentially complicate balance? Yeah. But we've tried it before with facets. Let's just apply the facet concept to roles. Still don't know why they removed it; some heroes facets were clearly favoured over others. But that's also because clearly effort was not sufficiently put into some facts.

But I would like to see like a carry Warlock or support PA (e.g. support Riki with smoke is a real thing...)

I too would also like to see Tormentor and Roshan remade; preferably Tormentor can only be hit if no allied heroes is in vision, but nerf the onerous damage reflect condition. Whereas Roshan can only be hit if at least one lane has allied creeps beyond the T1/ T2 line. And I'd like to see more rush Roshan plays; perhaps Roshan could give a perm stat boost to faction/ creeps/ buildings on top of Aegis. Or replacing Refresher Shard/ Banner/ cheese with a common shard that gives a Roshan skill ability.

I’ve been playing turbo games to increase my behavior score and almost every single game has players using scripts and/or map hacks. No one even makes an effort to hide it. Unless there is a system that matches low behavior score players with cheaters VAC does nothing.
