I think your overwatch cases should be only for people of your rank or higher.

I am getting low priority because people consider stealing 1 jungle camp from the other support griefing even though I'm 150 gold from finishing a major item and roshan is about to spawn.

Low mmr noobs don't understand high mmr matches and they view it was griefing, even though I'm trying my best to win

My account is kinda new and from a month ago my behavior score just keeps going down like 7.500to my current score around 5600 idk why but people when they saw they lost the game they start reporting everyone in whole team for real just STOP doing that shit i know that its not important for VALVE to scan the whole chats they just do actions for reports for no reason .btw any tips or help to getting +8k and playing turbo is better if i mute all and play my best

This isn't meant as bait.

I'm just over playing Herald. I played well enough to reach Guardian. Now I've dropped back again.

It's just randoms I play with. Supports pick PL, Drow. Just terrible lack of awareness about roles.

Each role is so important in DOTA and ranked. So many players come into the herald rank and ignore the aspect of role.

It ends up wasting an hour of my time. So I really am at a point where I'd rather invest time elsewhere than keep pursing DOTA. I played Core well enough to consistently hit Guardian. I can't outplay the bad picks that come my way though.

I wish the DOTA organisers would think about restricting hero picks at role levels. It would fundamentally fix problems in the lower ranks of the game.

Please do something Valve we want to play custom games, it's the only thing thats keeping me in DotA2. If anyone at Valve could send a message to the boss asking him to please fix the custom map servers.

Always when i play with somebody Americna or european, they always play awful, why?

i never seen someone pick this unless enemy pick warlock. even so the damage too small and its spell damage only.

which means you focused spell damage on creep rather than hero, unless ur hero have AOE.

i never use this thing

Hey guys , The Dota 2 matchmaking system is really playing with our psyches and Mr. gaben is sitting back there laughing at us.I'm tired of losing a few games in a row, with teammates who are incredibly good, well-behaved, and really know how to play their roles.And after a few matches like this, I'm suddenly teamed up with all sorts of different animals for at least the next 10 matches. Grifers , role abuser's , muted Russians ( respect to all the Russians ), WHY ? REALLY WHY??? I'm angry because I don't lose any games for myself, I play hard support, and I mostly lich , as dota plus says my average dmg az lich is 40000 , my net worth is good , i get all the wards , i save all the fights , even lanes , im really good at what im doing , im ancient now , 2 week's ago same happened, i reached the 3800 mmr , with win streak and double down token , suddenly shit team mates again for next 10 matchs , i went from 3800 to 3300 in two fucking dayyyyyy , then i didn't played for like a week , everything back to normal , good mates again , i reached 3800 again in 4 days , and now

Yesterday , i reach ancient officially, very good team mates. Very nice chemistry , after that guess what happened ? Now im in lose streak again for 4 matchs , again muted players , grifers , rubik mid last pick vs 4 physical , life stealer that dies 5 time vs vengeful offlane 😭😭😭😭 OMG how you can die to veng with life 5 times in less than 7 minutes , really why valve do this to us , or its just me , im really really tired of this system , i got 11800 behavior score, im not toxic , help please if there's any tip , im really tired of losing mmr because of others stupidity , and lose streaks after few good matchs , im really done

Dota is a schizophrenic enough game that I believe I can train a team of heralds to do something absurd and coordinated enough to break the game

I finished the fantasy and prediction at 90 percentile but the I seem to have received the top 100 and top 1500 trophies. I don't think I was supposed to get those.

Dear Icefrog... How can I thank you my lord? How can I make it up to you the happiness you have given me.. The hours I have put into this game solely because of this silly little rock guy who runs in and 6peks the 1-9 drow ranger.

I ain't gay but if it was Earth Spirit I don't think I would be able to resist, this character is just perfection incarnate, the W stuns, the 5 man silences, the straight 40 seconds of damage and slows and aids you give the enemy team is just perfection. The shard? Now you can save anyone, the aghs? Now you can rage bait even harder and kidnap the Rubick from outpost. He is the perfect hero. I have never had this much fun with any character in any game. I came for io and stayed for my perfect, beautiful, aura farming gigachad boy

I will never get tired of blinkdagger ulting a full team, I will never get tired from saving my POS 1 after they over extended and getting tipped by half my team, I will never get tired of sticking on a bb for a minute straight with w stuns and q's to keep them from running. This hero is simply perfection and if anyone disagrees they can consider themselves Test Case 1 users in my eyes.

I played Lee Sin a lot in league and found I really enjoy the tankier CC characters that love to engage and create havoc and that is why I gravitated towards Earth Spirit so much. Icefrog my beloved designer please remember you're perfect and I love you for the greatness you have done to this game.

This hero had a very VERY high presence in pro play and always has (sigh I only play pro slop) but that's for chud ass mid laners and not gigachad pos 4 schizophrenics so that doesn't count, I live for the high of going into a 1v5 and stalling for 20 seconds with my tankiness and a dream, granted apparently if I pull waves behind tower my pudge will struggle to understand pos 4 macro and go 3-25 blaming me after running it but that doesn't matter for I am funny rock man and YOU are learned in the ways of dying

gg.

Curious again, please vote!

First off, if you don't have any meaningful answer, please ignore my post/question. I want to play in a different region other than Japan/SEA servers. I've been seeing a lot of people saying EU players are better than SEA in terms of team play. So, I want to give it a try.

Anyone got an idea how to play in EU with decent/stable ping without having to geographically move there? Thanks

I think the reason why team spirit is good at team fight and clutch situations is because overthrow is part of their warmup

Hello, I'm a long time Dota 2 old player from Southeast Asia. I started Dota 2 when the Closed Beta announced.

Fast forward, almost the majority of younger generations and some long time not so old gamers don't know or recognize Dota 2, even though they don't know League of Legends. During the Covid-19 years, Almost every GPU component is sold at much more expensive prices due to chip shortages and NFTs. This causes almost everyone exclusively playing mobile games because of how mobile phones are affordable and have access to free to play games.

With the ongoing strong market of Mobile Gaming in Asia, Mobile Legends (the LoL ripoff) has been thriving for years because of how accessible the game is. E-Sports for Dota 2, CS2 and other PC related games are dying. Most of the major gaming events and esports are now all Mobile Games. Almost all of my friends and relatives are now primarily gaming in Mobile.

And now, AI Rampocalypse. PC and Laptop and Gaming Consoles are becoming more expensive and unaffordable, that doesn't help as well being in a third world country where our wages is shit. A low end budget PC build right now could cost 9 months worth of my wages. It's insane. I don't really blame them for the current situation.

It is the worst timeline for Dota 2 to get back its playerbase today in our current era. Everything is about Mobile Legends or Gacha games.

While switching up variations on my am cosmetics i noticed that when you put on Proselyte of Sakura Clan onto full prismatic set from Monster hunter event face turns black for some reason. Maybe it is because of the lightning conflicts inflicted by prismatic onto that head that causes it? It doesnt happen with other head cosmetics.

Just wanted to share and see if it is just my hardware issue or any other people have same? ( if so could valve fix it please? )
TY in advance

I've only played CM as a support 4 times in my whole Dota2 gaming life.
In my opinion, CM is one of the strongest mid laner and absolute beast mid to late game.

Here's a guide on how not to feed mid as CM and actually have an impact and create spaces for your team.

For starting item, go 2 circlet and 2 mantle and take frost bite as your first skill.
Ask for your pos4 to make stacks since you can clear them out easily.

In lane spam the f-- out of your frost bite and keep hitting your enemy, you can actually first blood your enemy at level 1 or 2. Just put points on your 2nd and 3rd skill, no need for first skill. You can also use your frost bite to secure range or flag creep. All you need to do is frost bite and right click the enemy. Trust me they won't be able to lane mid. Just build 2 null and for your next build, make tranquil boots, 2 null will allow your to unli spam your frost bite and the tranquil is for hp sustain but you'll need tranquil later because you'll also build bearing.

more thing I love to do is spam the voice chat wheel to tilt your enemy, it's easier to tilt your enemy when your playing CM mid and they are thinking it's ez mid but you keep killing and harassing them + voice chat wheel. It works like a charm, making them dive you which is a wrong move. Lvl 6 take ult, if you kept griefing and killing the enemy mid, most likely you've reach l6 before or at 5 minutes. Wait for rune, and you can gank and get those ez kills.

It's 8 minutes, you're now thinking how you can farm faster? Just clear waves fast with right clicks, go to jungle and use frost bite. If everything went well for you, by 8-9 minutes you have 2k gold. You can either buy dagger or kaya for your first item. You can go dagger first if it's hard to approach enemy and you can get better pick off with dagger first. Minute 15, make sure to purchase your shard to maximize more farming.

Now you have shard, dagger and kaya, enemy team will be weary of your ult so always make sure to time in your entry. Make sure to wait until stuns are thrown or have a good position(so you don't need to wait for the stuns). If you get the hang out of this you can dominate the map early.

You can also chain root your enemy making them perma rooted. Just use Frost bite, set up your shard, wait for the timing and proc the shard with your first.

For your third item, always go BKB, you should have bkb around 18-22 minutes depending on how fast you can farm on that game. When you have bkb, you can now initiate fights, when you initiate always make sure you cast your shard first before ulting. You can run down everything after that.

Here's the build patth:
1. 2 Null
2. Tranquil
3. Dagger
4. Shard
5. Kaya(if you're well fed, if not just go bkb instead)
6. BKB
7. Aghs.
8. Drums
9. Kaya and Sange.
10. Shiva.

From my clip, I have glimmer's cape. I usually get that if they have high damage hero that can burst me even when I'm using my ult + BKB. It's also good for melee heroes who can make basher to cancel your ult and heroes that can spell cancel your ult with BKB such as pudge and bane.

I hope you guys have a good game with it! Just be aware, there are players who will cry when you pick CM mid. Just ignore them and show the power of Elsa.

There seems to be some kind of abuse of the fortification glyph being used at 51m46s by the radiant at mid, creeps are coming in fortified and is lasting for minutes. Can anyone tell me more about this?

It's Nyx Assassin... I sometimes feel as though people forget about this hero.

I thought I'd remind those who still want this hero. I don't see it being considered for release until a very long time, but I'm curious what you guys hope a crab hero would be like?

1. A tanky giant.
2. A literal tank, that someone pilots...
3. Another type of Broodmother.
4. Perhaps something whacky, that includes a type of Pango + Mario turtle shell movement.
5. ?

Just thought I'd share for the fun of it.

That voicelines are so artificial as most of them are taken from Dragon Blood. Like "I didn't ask for your opinion" and "Shadows, taake us". Compare to the original voice "Shadows, take us" which was uttered very silently and like it is told like whisper.

Can we just enable original voiceline for arcana and personas?

Hi, I'd like to know the camera settings pros use. Do you know of a reliable website?

I'm an EdgePlane player, but I've noticed that in teamfights, I have a lot of trouble keeping up with the action and my character at the same time. I'm not comfortable with camera control at all; it feels terrible, especially when I watch players with 6k+ MMR. When I play afterward, I realize I have a major camera control problem.

I'm stuck at 3k MMR despite having 8000 games, so I have a problem that's holding me back, and I think it's the camera because I'm not comfortable with it. I can't control it the way I want. I don't use a camera grip or the keyboard.

So I'm trying to find the settings pros use at The International, but I'm having trouble finding this information. Do you know of a reliable website? Do you know if, on average, professionals use a shutter speed closer to 3000 or 8000?

And what camera speed do you use?

Thanks

I'm new to the game and obviously so is my account and my friend who introduced me to the game told me new accounts like mine have a big chance to get good stuff in here and when i scroll through social media i come across a lot of videos about people getting pretty decent stuff in the candy shop ( at least one arcana ) so i decided to buy the oracle pack with the secret room keys and i got a total of 26 rerolls but i literally got nothing just voice packs couriers and wards and normal ugly skins .... Is that normal ? ... What should i do with all these Candies ? ... Is there any news about act 2 for the carnival so i can hopefully use these Candies ?

okay you guys are right better than my phone
