[Megathread] DotA 2

[Charge me Doctor]

The only one having fun in a Tinker game is the Tinker. Steals all farm from team, take all kills and gets to go mid.

You just go Eth blade after Dagon if you're very far ahead. Hex is usually better always.

hey, some people find stacking ancients fun!

Tinker is one of the most fun heroes in my opinion to play. You have the laning stage where he can match up against anyone and you got kill potential on lane if they overextend and this is up until you got your BoT. The boring part is the part between BoT and Blink. After Blink the game becomes fun again. You can join any fight you want to get kills. You can farm anywhere on map and have to perfect farming. Then you start to get some items up and the hero is the most fun hero in fights because of all the options and pew pew you can do.

I've yet to come against a tinker that hasn't made a game boring.

Seriously, this hero is #$%^. Worse then Puck.

A good Tinker is fun to watch but very annoying to play against. I sometimes wonder if they should expand the list of items Rearm doesn't refresh just to make decent Tinker players a little less absurd.

I remember being carried by a stack of 4, they asked can i play WR offlane, i said "yes, but i won't get any farm against tri". Well, it ended up me stacking ancients for tinker mid for 16 minutes, when he've got rearm, he farmed them all for shitcrap of gold (early dagon) and proceed obliterating enemies

The question is, did he perform well with MoM. If yes, answer to your question is irrelevant.

No, he never got MoM, we lost before he could even get that far. If he was performing well with it, I wouldn't be questioning it! Just like one time I had an Ursa go to lane with just brown boots, but he ended up getting the first like 3-4 kills with just that movement speed bonus over the other team.

Please tell me you're not one of those people that think that the offering page is anything more than a glorified delete function.

To be fair, I put in like, 1 rare item, and 2-3 uncommons and got 27 Compendium points. You'd think they would of gotten more than just 31 points

New Ursa has a lot more options in the early game. I tend to think there's two principle ways of building him - the blink dagger suddenlybear build where you're focusing on getting a lot of kills in the early and mid game to create space for your team, or the racecar "carry" build where you're the team's primary damage output and so you can't afford to waste item slots on stuff like blink dagger.

Desolator on the suddenlybear build is quite possibly the most fun thing ever.

Every time i see Ursa in game i build halberd and receive tons of bearrage because no one thinks about building BKB that early

BKB's something I only get on the racecar build. Suddenlybear build I just skip it and will usually work on a sheepstick or abyssal instead.

I made a post about Omniknight that's kind of turning into a "how to play omniknight" here.

Yay we achieved #13 on the milestone. Now time for Valve to give us more rewards >.>

[Scummer]

As much as I would like to see more stretch goals I really don't think Valve are under any obligation to add more.

[Drunkenvalley]

...Nor were they under any obligation to create any stretchgoals to start, but they did.

[Longview]

i think it would be silly of them not to add more stretch goals

literally free money

[Maruka]

new stretch goals seem kind of weak imo

pretty much this. the only one that caught my eye is live darude - sandstorm.

alt hero voice would seem awkward for some heroes, while new model updates have been free in the past
favorite hero challenge seems at the moment tailored to carries, and daily hero challenge should have been baseline in the compendium

I like the A->Z Challenge Support idea, I just wish some of the rewards were a bit lower down the bracket honestly. Like why such a huge gap until the 14th reward, when it's pretty lackluster anyway?


Also Ursa is my new favorite carry. He can pull of nonsense when you have a friend supporting you, like Rubrick lift the enemy in lane at level 2 and go to town on them.

All of the new stretch goals suck imo, nothing ever remotely interests me.

All of the things they added to the new stretch checkpoints seem like things they were probably gonna add for free in the near future. The next set of benchmarks will just be bug fixes on their to-do list.

11,000,000 - Killing illusions will now properly remove Axe's battle hunger debuff.

I honestly feel the 14th goal should have just been something the compendium came with in order to give users a reliable and repeatable method of earning compendium points.

Rhasta is way better than Rubick. Every Shackle is a kill.

if they add an easy way to farm points, people will stop buying points

i think the new stretch goals are pretty cool, considering I haven't spent over 20 EUR yet
