how times have changed since the era of your newest friend to Dota needs 100 games in Lich or CM before they can play any other role or hero

This has always been a racket to make newer players play Lich or CM for their experienced core friend

Nothing feels better than when you get a competent Jugg or someone else who can get some early kills. Frostbite and Crystal Nova are just so loving strong.


Those games where you look down and apparently have enough for a Blink Dagger are the best. Getting a good Freezing Field is the most 10/10 in this game

Honestly, I ranted a bit but I had two really fun games last night, i went 1 for 2, but atleast I'm 1 win closer.

- really fun game with Snapfire (first time with her) that was competitive and a lot of fun. Went P4, and slapped. I thought that Cookie was vector targeting but it looks like just works like force staff where you're blasted the way your facing?
- Second game I went p5 Marci and we slapped them in lane, she's really powerful if you can get positioning down. We end up losing because our mid sniper when two wraitbands into feeding all game. had he gone MKB we'd have won for sure.


What I'm saying is stop worrying and embrace the single draft, learn some heroes and git gud

I used to play a lot support snap before she became a mid that got nerfed hard. Your right in that cookie is essentially a force staff for using on teammates. Imo it works best as a follow up stun after your initiator has blinked in and used their melee range stun and the enemy starts to run away. Combos well with heroes like axe, slardar and spirit breaker in my experience.

Added new Roshan ability Roar of Retribution. If attacked by the team that last killed him, Roshan will release a roar that is heard globally, damages all units in 900 AoE and applies a debuff on them that increases incoming damage by 25%. Triggers when Roshan's health drops below 80%. Damage: 50. Damage Bonus per Minute: 10. Debuff Duration: 8s. Cooldown: 20s

Hello, this is masondota2 of fromer EG and Digital Chaso glory. I come to you with hat in hand, asking for a second chance. I have given 15 years of my life to this game, and I foolishly was upset with the new Behavior Score system. I kept getting reported seemingly no matter what I did and was very frustrated with my situtation of not being able to use my mic and coordinate with my team to try and win the game to my fullest ability. I seemed to get reported and lose communication score no matter how I behaved or acted, and this made me do an action I regretted very shortly after in which I hired a booster to boost my behavior score, but after 1 day I cancelled their order and stopped them. I gained almost no behavior score or communication score during this period of time and I resumed playing on the account with muted communication and tried my best to "fix my behavior" on my own

I have been for better or worse a part of this community for almost as long as the game has been alive. I've streamed thousands of hours of dota and I still enjoy and love the game to this date, even if it frustrates me at times and makes me act in ways which I am ashamed of, but in the end, I think a lot of people feel this way. Sometimes we say and do things we know we shouldn't, and it'sn ot right but it is human. I ask that you understand this feeling and my case and give me a second chance. I'd take a suspension, as I did violate the terms and service, but I feel taht a permanent ban is very severe. I understand wanting to make an example out of me, but I ask you reconsider my freinds of Valve. I am sorry my brothers and sisters.

IDK, but if you want I'm probably going to queue up in one half hour for a game during my lunch break?

I'm down to just needing two more to win. I got lucky and was given CM for a couple games, and she absolutely slaps at low ranks.
