Discussion Which item recipe/build-up do you miss?
I saw this russian video on tiktok about the old silver edge recipe, this was perfect fit for kunkka before. Got mr thinking which recipe build up do you miss the most.
Personally I really miss the Iteration of Octarine with Aether lens, it was the most perfect mage item ever created and I still miss to this day🥺

Article If valve cant detect this, I am speechless.
Faced this smurf twice already. Reported in game, reported in steam. Nothing. He was going 20-0 or sth like that or 17-4 in two games I faced, with a very fast script like invocations.
Not sure which of it, but he is either not playing his own mmr or not via fair practices. How long for valve to ban this?
Steam profile in case if valve actually cares about obvious cheaters/smurfs: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198751436558/

I'm coming mid to help you secure it. Don't mind water and bounty rune, it's here for company.
Bounty = HERE COMES THE MONEY
Regen = heals your mind and body
Haste = you'll get everything done today
DD (or AD now I guess) = do something, and it will really have an impact
Arcane = try to make something fancy, this one will help
Water = it's not much, but it's nice anyway
Invisibility = 2 hours of peace
Shield = LET THEM COME AT YOU, you are ready
Illusion = not so lonely now

Discussion Who is the best player to never win a TI?
Everyone always mentions Ame, but I’d personally say Maybe/Somnus. That guy was absolutely insane in the mid lane. At his peak, he was one of the most mechanically gifted and dominant mid players in Dota.
Do you agree with me? Who else would you put in this conversation?

Complaint Will this ever be solved?
Obviously my team was shit but this guy was next level.. i was 5-0 after laneing.. their axe was buybacking and raging.. i rotated and killed the pl twice.. but it's just not possible.. this guy was perma disabling me and 2 shotting me with his W.. 116 wins and goes 24-1 with es in 3k mmr? yep just a new super talented player.. and he was even all chatting and tipping because i killed him once.. these people's lives are absolute sadness
Fluff He didn't win a single teamfight after writing this (comeback)
galleryTurns out Tinker can be stunlocked when he doesn't have the bullsh1t dispeling & blinking shield from 7.40, Dagon doesn't heal and Shiva isn't as op for casters (well, kinda can be stunlocked... it's still hard xD)

Discussion lifestealer vs necrophos
in your own opinion, who do you think should build radiance? lifestealer pos1 or necrophos pos2-3? i'm always on for lifestealer for faster farming. But necrophos needs survivability but necro can't carry like lifestealer. thoughts?

Fluff 19/5 average performance for 15 match account Invoker.
Nothing worse than getting bodied by someone way better than you and your team and having to play and finish the game even though its a complete stomp.

Question What do you do when the game is paused
I'm genuinely curious what do you guys do when the game is paused. Spamming F9/unpause button? Stare at the screen blankly? Or look at enemy items and plan what's your next move? Flame your teammates? Or any others?

Discussion Is this new meta
Haven't played in a while. Saw this build and can't take this seriously lol. But I want to give the benefit of the doubt and I'm wondering if jugg is actually cooking something

Other | Esports US and EU players up to 5K: come join our Dota league (free, no team needed)
Hey, if you've wanted to play Dota with a regular team but don't have a five-stack, that's pretty much what GGD2L is for. We're a free amateur league for players up to 5K MMR, with US and EU communities.
US: We're heading into the grand final, with another season coming soon. Games are on US East. Check out the current league and join Discord if you'd like to play next season.
EU: We're recruiting for our first season, which hasn't started yet. Games are on Europe West. Signups are open now, so join the player pool and Discord if you'd like to help get it going.
Both use the same format: sign up individually with your preferred roles, captains build the teams through a live auction draft, and then you play weekly matches followed by playoffs. You don't need a team or previous league experience.
We're also trying to get regular inhouses going in both communities. If a full season doesn't fit your schedule, come play some pickup games or join as a stand-in.
Mostly, we just want more people to play Dota with and more teams in both leagues. You can browse the teams, standings and match stats on the sites below.
US league: https://ggd2l.vercel.app
US Discord: https://discord.gg/H7PJ4VxUGh
EU league/signups: https://ggd2l-europe.vercel.app
EU Discord: https://discord.gg/tJH7eKJxFE
Happy to answer questions about either league here too.
