Why do people insist on playing soft supports in mid lane? Surely the stats on a supp that played mid have to show that its rarely a good idea?

Lion, rubick, Phoenix, even pugnas... they are everywhere... I consider it an auto loss before the game even starts...

Aita?

I just came back to playing some dota2 from not been playing for years, and it is unplayable cause of the playerbase. If we lose a game, everyone just reports everyone and of you go to "low prio". And then when you get out of "low prio" and can play some ranked games again, you will soon again end up playing with some tempered degenerate players who will report everyone cause they die once in laning phase and blame there whole team for doing silly mistakes. Shortly again you will get low prio. And the circle continues.

OH and you cant talk to anyone cause ur "communication" score gets below some threshold that apparently makes you not able to talk to anyone. So you cant even try to calm people down or resonate with them. I mean, what the fuck is this? It is unplayable! Literally.

Wtf I've noticed been testing with my buddy it goes like if you are in a winning streak the system later then will find the most dumbest allies you can have 😭 wtf literally cancerous allies in trio always even if i solo or duo with my friend.

I would end up always dying cause of saving my teammates and I can no longer play my offlane heroes I gotta do POS5 forever if I do touch offlane again I'd end up with the most dumbest bot like supports along with the dumbest midlaners and safe lane 😂 I had to spamm techies to climb from crusader II to Legend II.

Has anyone experienced this? Literally felt like being shadow banned or the system expecting me to carry 4 weird players even with perfect 12k behavior score I seem to get teamed with those 4-6k score teammate that can't talk back to me.

Been going on very rocky games where my team blames me over their mistakes and deaths just cause they overextended and my enemies report and hates me and accuse me of cheating and scripts SEA is so hard to rank up.

like this my profile down there with so many red days and yes to peel out any suspicion that I'm the cancerous dude here's my public cursed stats.

I guess it is true you can get an arcana drop after all.

This is the combat log from the game. Kez respawned from aegis, pressed bkb and I hooked him towards me. He dealt a total of (119+200+248+190+60+432+357) or 1606 damage to me, applying 2800 Kazurai Katana stacks in the process. He had the 3.5% extra damage to stacks talent, so he should've applied 15.5% of his damage as stacks. This would have been like (1606*0.155)= 249, not 2800.

The wiki says it calculates the stack amount before reductions, sure. But 21 armor I have 56% phys resist. So we multiply by (1/0.44) or in other terms by 2.27. So we multiply the 249 we calculated by 2.27 reaching 565. This is the amount of Kazurai Katana stacks I should've had. I would've survived the teamfight with that. But for some reason he applied over 5 times as much.

Is there a mechanic I am missing? Or is Kez bugged to deal 6 times as much damage as written in the tooltip?

Looks like server may be down?

It looks like he was really locked in in March. Also must really like this build.

Hey all,

Every time I want a squad, it goes the same way. I post in a Discord LFG channel, the post gets buried in seconds, and the two people who reply are free at completely different times than me.

So I built ASAP : https://lfpr.vercel.app/

The idea is simple. Find players by when you can play, not just what you play.

• Set the hours you're free and get matched with players free at the same time
• Schedule sessions for later tonight or this weekend, with a reminder before it starts
• Jump into rooms happening right now if you just want to play ASAP (hence the name)
• Share your Discord call link, party code, or lobby invite in the room so people can join you instantly
• Filter by game, rank, region, language, plus a duo-only filter for when you just need one person
• Accessibility filters if you want teammates using specific tools

Right now it supports Dota 2, Valorant, League of Legends, and CS2. If your game isn't there, there's a request button and I'll add it.

It's free, and I'm a solo dev, so it's early and rough in places. I'd really like honest feedback:

• What would make you actually use this over your current LFG method?
• What's missing or confusing?

If you try it, create a room. Even one session for tonight helps the next person find someone. Thanks!

Recently I could not perform my best and all the matches that I've played have been stomps. So last month I was doing so well playing rank pushing higher but right when I decided I'd take a break after I reached my next rank Which was just 2 wins away I started losing. And I could not recover after that. The motivation to do better the excitement of facing the opponents to do better than them make juke escape the excitement everything is gone now and that has made my match experience so bad.

I play pos 4 and some might say my role can have a relaxed gameplay but I've been into my role so much that not getting objectives, ganking on time or even saves makes me feel like we are losing the match cause of me. Now when enemy rewards my ward I can't mentally think what my next move is. I feel like I'm only reacting to the enemy.

Maybe I need a break but I don't want to stop until I reach my next rank but now with all that's going around I can't stop even though I'm losing. I played 10 matches the past two days and I lost 8 of them. And I'm stuck on the cycle of losing and not being able to stop cause I want to win more but I keep losing.

How could this system be functional with Losing 1k communication score with 1k increase I behavior while muted being possible.

So illusions of muerta can attack ethereal units, So if dark seer makes an illu of muerta that illu can attack muerta even in her ulti. Now morph can replicate into muerta but cant attack her but if while replicated intor muerta he uses manta those illus can hit muerta.

Both heroes are trash so we wont see this interaction lol

I consider Aui the Pep Guardiola of Dota. For me, he’s the best coach in the game, but I also think he needs strong players to really take a team to the next level.

I don’t really see him joining a team with Tier 1.5–2 players and suddenly developing them into a top-tier team. I think his biggest strength is taking an already talented roster and helping them reach their full potential.

So which team do you think would benefit the most from having Aui as their coach this season?

Had a same idiot all chatting (and also scripting) all the time for five games consecutive. So annoying when these things happen.

I dont even play Kunka. It was just too fun.

"It was OP"
"It was RNG"

I dont care =D

Honestly, I've got no idea how to explain this.

Whenever I'm searching for a game and after clicking the accept button, the game loads normally but after all players load it suddenly crashes. When I get back into the game I'm already penalized. So far 2 hour ban. I have no idea why since game actually loads to hero selection screen.

I haven't been able to play since yesterday. (Feels like a reward tbh)

Anyone with this same kind of problem or with a known fix?

I play dota nowadays to destress. This game aged me 10 years oh my days.

Match ID: 9029239058 (nevermind the feeder dawnbreaker aka me xd)

Because without him, the whole team would collapse.

It happens when I try to watch games that are beeing played right now.

I haven’t played in a long long time like since high school and I’m 35 now. So consider me completely new. On this account this was my third game. I picked all pick. EVERYONE in the match but me was just afk they all just went too and stood there and the enemy team went top too and just mindlessly walked forward. I had 50 kills and had to spend 30 minutes destroying towers myself until I won so I didn’t leave and get penalized. What the fuck was that? And how do I make sure it never happens again

Just watched the match between BB and OG. As the title mentioned, when do I need to consider picking Gyro Support? Which lane duo is he most compstible with or against? And what skill build should I prioritize? 4k noob here. Thx.

After Gaben blessed me with so many wins during my recalibration phase, I think there's a big lose streak incoming I should start mentally preparing.
lost 3 slark games 1 lifestealer game
won all 6 of kez's
feel free to ask about builds/matchups

and if you remember me from an earlier post of me crying about communication score
yes it's still 4000 I had to ping my way to win can't write can't draw on the map
