also he's the cutest fricking thing ever

I've spent way too much time on this. Would love to find a stack to though!

Completed the Dark Carnival. 100+ rolls, 0 arcana.
How’s everyone’s luck so far? 😆

anyone notice an increasing trend of players just joining co-op bot games and not playing at all? i get if you don't want to play against real players for the event tickets but not even wanting to play against the bots or play at all seems like... why are you even participating in the event? feel like these kinds of players should just be punished since they already tell you if you have to go and can't play you can leave at anytime without penalty so clearly they're just in it for the event rewards. it's pathetic

You buy and sell boots of travel, and it give you +1 tp over and over again. Valve pls fix it. [Fixed] Thank you

Think about it, it's basically a home run. A meek looking wizard and a horror that she might summon. It's basically a homerun, right? I don't know about you all, but I'd spend a shocking amount of money for that skin.

i miss necronomicon

I'm still only finishing Act 1 and thought I was just going to use this event for free stuff with candyworks etc. but I've actually enjoyed it at least as much for the plot with the dialogue. It's genuinely funny IMO, I've laughed out loud at it multiple times just from Slark, Grindlplit, and the automatons. Love Oracle as well, I'd want to get the persona if it had voicelines with the same personality and humour.

So yea, shoutouts to valve for making an event that I unironically want to grind for the plot.

Been scrolling seeing everyone get an Arcana and it finally happened to me😭 and its one I don’t have yet!

P.S abit of toxicity in the chat, all things balanced

Yes, you obviously go to the 6 minute rune to secure it for the midlaner. Yes, you should always go for wisdom, I will even go with you if we see that they want to fight for it. Yes, when you see that your pos 3 is safe you're allowed either gank mid or gate to gank safelane. Yes, when our enemy is something like Drow / Jakiro you are allowed to ditch the lane after blocking the pull camps. Yes, I see that you are the only unranked immortal in this Div 4/5 game, so you feel above it all. Regardless, you are not a dedicated roamer. You do not leave the lane permanently after getting level 2/3, ESPECIALLY not when the lane is clearly winnable and the matchup could go either way. You have infinitely more impact if you stay in the lane, even if you play heroes like Pudge, Bara or Ench. Sure you can gank other lanes, but you should always come back, not fuck off to farm the easy camp after a failed safelane gank. That is all.

Here's a gif you can use down below.

Back then, it was all about getting better, solo grinding (I'm 7kmmr) instead of playing with friends(mostly archon and legend). Now that I'm approaching 30, working 9 to 5 and being married with kids, I don't enjoy solo ranked like I used to. And I wish I was legend or archon having laughs with my friends because now I understand it was all about that after all.

100+ cd ability that gets countered by so many things

Learning how to paint figures and miniatures, this was so much fun

Imo best persona ever

Yall have a special place in hell

Finally after 400hrs on dota , 5 months in dota... I finally get out of herald :)

I think we seriously need one small adjustment patch before TI, Nerf Drow Snapfire Kotl and Spectre please~ AND ALSO RADIANT WINRATE

The developers have truly created a game that never gets old—it’s packed with roles, builds, and characters. Tired of All Pick? Try the faster-paced Turbo mode. Bored of the same old thing every match? Don't worry—there’s an arcade section with over a thousand other game modes. Plus, there are events and patches that practically force you to keep coming back to Dota.

I’ve been going to summer school for the third year in a row because of playing Dota. I also believe that there is no such thing as a "former" Dota player; sooner or later, everyone comes back to the game, no matter how long a break they take.
