This comes from a period known as WMLATT- Winning My Lane All The Time.

I dont think this last patch was the worst patch but I do think it was the 2nd-3rd year straight where highground pushing was stupid hard and they made it harder so every game was either a throw when you tried to take rax at 30 or 50 additional minutes of farming until you had a 50k advantage.

The patch that made it better to curse the road than to run is the one that ruined dota.

BIG PLAAAAAAAAAAAAYS

Real talk Dota destroys IRL friendships if you try to have a normal game instead of just having some kicks. A good friend of mine wanted me to play dota (I even dodged a Henron invite because of it) and he proceeded to 'support' me by picking pit lord, autoattacking creeps AND using firestorm on creeps (later he stated that it was his intention to hit heroes).

Oh, you're friends with Wangsbig IRL?

I won 8 out of 10 of the placement matches so dota is good again and it's a good patch.

oh so they hid MMR and now there's a loving number rank on everyone's names? Egos are going crazy on this poo poo. Just had an AM call me an autist because I said that an AM should beat an ES 1v1. He maxed blink and proceeded to whine all game. Ranked 500 overall! thehehehe this sucks.

If he maxes enchant totem he should probably beat AM

the game can still be fun if you play carry or mid and they don't have one of the support heroes that gets 5 escapes with their talents and free items so you can actually kill them and then win the game

so yeah its cancer

Why did they put axes on different buttons and why did they separate the morphling abilities, both do nothing except gently caress me up constantly.

Everyone got more base hp and starts with more regen so it’s less risky and stupidly effective.

I went from 4.0k mmr Ancient 0 to 5.0k divine 0 in a month so I'm pretty sure this patch is good and y'all are just complaining too much.

Just had an interesting Dota experience. Game started out with some typical Normal Skill bullshit like 4 carries and me solo supporting. Our LC said he'd support our CK in the offlane but what he meant by 'support' was that he'd buy a ward at 1min, place it in a useless location and then immediately gently caress off to jungle. By the 10min mark we had 2 lost lanes and 3 people in the jungle. At that point I had everyone muted but the CK and was ready to just take my 20min loss but he ended up pretty friendly and talkative despite getting hosed over. Apparently he just got out of prison for a few years and said it was super boring and seemed happy to be playing video games again. Also seemed kinda put off by the fact that everyone just casually tells each other to eat poo poo which definitely does not occur in prison. I ended up just following him around and we racked up some kills and eventually won because the enemy cores got forced into buying back repeatedly to avoid losing rax. I commended him after the game because he was basically the only reason I bothered being invested in the game past the 10min mark.

so you're about as good at dota as a guy who hasnt played for 5 years?

It's always funny when someone smurfs into your 3-4k shitter match, goes like 20/0, but then feeds a few times because they farmed kills instead of ending the game and now the enemy team just has to kill one person to win a team fight cuz whoops the whole enemy team got caught up from those feeds, while yours is probably even behind from Pro Arc Warden Smurf farming the whole map

It's really fun to be that guy.

Why is underlad picked so little? Has a 55 percent winrate when he's offlane. Most of the low picks are difficult to play heroes and he aint.

Because to get the most out of his ult you have to talk to your teammates and no one wants to do that

Riki got +10% winrate because his ult just gives him free xp lol.

Other biggest winners are alch, bloodseeker, bristle, slark, sven i.e. mobile farming carries who didnt eat huge nerfs.

Biggest losers are brood, zeus, clinkz, and dusa.

Guess those reworks are pretty bad

My winning strategy so far is to play offlane, rush pipe, then yell at your team to steal their tormentor at 20 minutes. It's a massive gold swing if you get both and pipe makes it easy.
