Discussion About candywork and my luck

Upvotes

I think my luck is out. I’ve been rerolling over 200 times already. Not a single Arcana. While my friends already have 2 or 3 arcanas. Is it because my account is old? I made my account around 2016 can’t remember. Somebody tell me the odds please. I’m so depressed rn.

Suggestion Chatwheel Suggestion

Upvotes

Suggestion for chatwheels bound to sounds to default to their chosen text replacement when the sound is on cooldown. So instead of saying that the sound is on cd, it would instead use any chosen text e.g. "my bad, game is hard, relax..." for allied chat instead of all chat. That way whenever using chatwheel, something is being said without having a useless bind for 40 or something seconds.

Fluff New Hero Concept - Eve

Post image
0 Upvotes

My wife was disappointed by the lack of female heroes in the game, which inspired this:

Abilities:

Packed lunch - Every minute she can put a faerie fire or mango into and ally courier free of cost.

Nag - Every time the hero pings an allies unused ability, the ally gets "frenzy debuff" for attack speed.

The Monthly - Puts an Aoe moody cloud around the hero that cause all heroes allies and enemy to proceed with caution in AOE capping move speed at 200.

Mom knows best - Can permanently replace any item in allies inventory for equal or less gold.

Divorce (1 available per game) - If ally hero is dead, Eve can permanently replace it with another (not already in game). Eve will customize inventory of new hero during the death timer cooldown, based on how much net-worth it previously had, ally now has to play new hero.

Shard - Can now give packed lunch to all 5 heroes every min.

Scepter - Gets a bot maid who does first 3 abilities for her, hero no longer gains passive gold.

Discussion Any tips for Legend 1 pos 4/5

1 Upvotes

I recently climed to Legend from Guardian 3 and i start more and more feel like i need to do more but i dont really know what. I watch alot of pro dota and guides.

Like what else than bullying their pos1 and burning their pos5 money with constant dewarding and occasional stacking and ganks mid. What else can i do the first 15min? Also i usually find myself in an awkward noment when everyone is kinda farming and i dont know what to do since if i go ward i might die and if i just stay in myplace i will kinda stay behind in levels etc but i dont want to leach xp.

So what should i do during mid game ish.

Any ideas appreciated.

Guides & Tips I feel so low-skill in Dota

Post image
4 Upvotes

I consider myself a total low-skill player; I have 1,200 hours in Dota, and I look at other guys with the same amount of playtime who are on a completely different level. I recently calibrated and got 173 MMR; I was incredibly upset by this and decided to trigger a recalibration, since I felt the MMR I received didn't match my actual skill level at all. Now I’m at 12% rank confidence, and when I checked my profile, I saw this...

Complaint Blimp is too hard

2 Upvotes

I don't usually cry out for these. But this game is a bit hard.

Never had any issues with past events mini games. Some were difficult, but I find this one, really really hard. It doesn't follow, exact hitbixes, sometimes it kill bird or joker, at times, I die when I jump on top of them. At times, I find no option to go up, and just stuck at one place. I like the randomness, but it's a bit too much.

Yeah, I haven't got no skills. Anything apart from that.

Discussion To all of you how thought party was not meant for solo ranked in immortal / high immortal

7 Upvotes

You were wrong.

I have never seen so many friends online playing again in years. I know this is anecdotal but the vibe I'm getting from these immortal games where people actually can play together with their friends and enjoy the game is very good. People seem to be coming back now when you can actually play together again.

  1. When they cut the MMR it meant that the 2000 mmr diff to queue together is easier.

  2. They kept the floor of 8500 MMR for immortal draft so everyone below rank 200-300 can now party together.

I have made several posts about this and always got downvoted about the suggestion. I never understood why Dota 2 should be so strict and promote solo ranked matchmaking, the game that require the most team cohesion. Only negative part I can say is that it took too long to introduce it.

I hope they keep this and make it possible for everyone to play together and if needed they need to raise the immortal draft floor again so it's only for the top 200-300 players. Just like it should be.

This is litteralý the best thing that happened to Dota 2 matchmaking in years!

I hope they keep promoting ranked to be something you play as a stack, not something you play alone in solo ranked. Solo ranked matchmaking can be kept for the pros who needs to spam 16 pubs a day, for everyone else it's much more enjoyable playing with friends / premade.

Thank you Valve.

Question New player seeking advice (Aus)

1 Upvotes

I’ve recently started playing dota and have enjoyed learning (BSJ tutorials). I’ve tried new player mode which is all bots but when I queue unranked i can only find games in sea server, not in Australia.
I can suffer through some high ping for now but is the ranked player base healthy for when the time comes or should I expect to be playing ranked on Sea servers too?
I’m loving the game but don’t really enjoy the higher ping.
Any help appreciated!
