Think you gotta play him kinda like the undying and go aura boy. He certainly doesn't do much to bosses and there seem to be a lot of exceptions to immunities that are hard to read. That being said, maybe there are more useful shard builds I don't know about yet. A lot of that seems RNG

what was with that stuff about revenge kills, it popped up like once and i assumed it was how you got battlepass levels but then I've never seen anything else. Was it just because some guy bought the drow arcana that game?

e: battle pass on spending 300 bucks for that arcana, its cool but lol

You can see it in the arcana description page. To unlock the second style you need 100 points. You get 3 points for winning a game without dying. You get 1 for winning a game in which you kill the person who kills you first (the Revenge Target).

I started to pick it back up after uhhhhhh a gap since 2013? It’s going great no one has been mean to me at all.

Sarcasm aside I have been genuinely surprised by when people are like “loving acidronin noob no idea what your doing” that when I’ve keyed up and said yes correct the attitude has generally changed to helpful. Not happy mind, but helpful. And then they get to go “noob jakiro ez” in post game.

the rage is annoying for a while, but eventually you reach a zen state where you realize the other team is raging against each other too, and that's when the real game begins (typing "?" into all chat is the real game)

I generally try to avoid all things bm, but god I love a good ? when the enemy does something especially dumb.

I got stuck mid as Pugna vs a Death Prophet the other day; she didn't take Silence by 6 and thought her Life Drain was better than mine. Then she teleports aggressively far forward into lane and I immediately kill her again lol.

the only thing better than typing "?" into all chat is when the other team does it all game, gets 2 rax, wastes their lead fountain farming and you get the opportunity to push and end. one nice little "?" after the throne goes down. doesn't happen regularly but when you get a game like that 😩👌🏼

It seems... inconsistent now.

I was in a game where a buddy had to d/c right at the start. But pause simply wouldn't work when we all tried. Later in the game it worked fine. Very confusing.

According to Reddit the change is you can’t pause before first blood, presumably because an absurd percentage of pubs have at least a minute of pause immediately upon loading

Not sure it actually addresses the problem, since some of it is down to the dota client being unreliable. but a lot of other games don’t have pausing at all so I think people will learn to manage

New rule is that you can only pause after first blood or 4 minutes, which is a mixed bag because there's been long stretches where dota could crash right on map load and can be hell on old computers, but also every loving game had some jackass who decided they'd waste 9 other peoples time because they couldn't go piss or smoke before hitting the queue button.

Yes, there are an absurd number of pauses right as the game is starting but I'd rather just wait than play a lovely game.

I'm glad

The last time I played this game, almost every game that I played had some guy dc'ing and pausing at the start, making 9 other people wait for them to take a piss, go for a smoke or reinstall their Windows or some poo poo like that. This poo poo persisted up to Immortal+ ranked games and it was incredibly obnoxious

I'd rather see these people get abandons and booted out of ranked, even if it ruins match quality in the short run.

But imo the best solution would be to shadowpool all the pausers into the same matches so that these fuckers can enjoy a match of dota 2 with roughly 40 minutes of pausing

that never seemed like it'd do anything tbh, since the people judging would be dota players who would see "wtf 0-5 void, definite ban" and ignore the pos 5 ursa or whatever.
