[Megathread] DotA 2

[Lysah]

Doesn't coL know it's their chance to take over NA dota, what are they doing

[Longview]

swindle saving strats for ti6 im sure

[Kuntantee]

I feel more like the patch doesn't favour ANY of their players playstyle, super agressive 5man yoloing constantly that is, they are just too ''efficient'' and greedy.

I never considered Secret to be super aggressive. They often win the games without making any mistakes or cleverly out drafting the opponent. Their captan also likes to take draft risks. What I would call super aggressive is TI I and I Na'Vi.

Just watched Secret vs. NaVi first game, I mean Arteezy failed so hard. Although Team Secret players were all over the place, playing without coordination, Arteezy managed to do more than that, he simply failed to hit every single skillshot he used. I think his build was also wrong. He should've gone for Euls, or tornado - meatball build.

RTZ, always the bridesmaid never the bride.

No sympathy for him. He's a cunt and it's always good to see karma do its job.

It's always a feeling of schadenfreude whenever RTZ and/or Sumail get torn down.

So apperantly RIOT CEO released icefrog name on reddit, which was shortly taken down and all treads showing it are being taken down and users banned. Who is it? xD

It doesn't matter who it is. He doesn't want to be known for good reason.

If that's true, they're a dick then.

Like, there's no reason to do that if they know he doesn't want to be known.

his name was in the credits for the free to play movie that's available through steam, it's not really newsworthy at all

riot ceo being a shitty person defending pendragon isn't that surprising either. dumbass corporation making dumbass decisions employing dumbass people.

i can absolutely sympathize with icefrog's wish to keep his name/personal life away from his dota fame, and anyone doxing him at this point in time is a) super late and b) a shitbag person

e: just briefly read through tryndamere's reddit comment history, he seems to be either ill-informed about dota-allstars or delusional

Honestly? I cut sumail a little slack - he's a teenager, teenagers are invariably immature brats, and he has success far in excess of anything rational or normal at his age. I can accept him being an egotistical little twat, it's pretty much standard for his age, though I think Charlie Yang or Fear should smack him upside the head from the time to time.

RTZ's old enough to know better. He is quite literally acting like a 15 year old. Or is Sumail 16 now? Whatever.

I've always wondered what the hell Riot's been doing with the money they've made. Like, usually developers will funnel the revenue into additional projects. Use the money you earned to buy some seeds, plant those seeds, sell the crops when they finish growing, use that money to buy even more seeds, etc.

They just seem to be... sitting on it, apparently.

Holy fuck this TL v MVP game

- - - Updated - - -

MVP spanks TL 2-0 and takes game 2 in a 60+ min prizefight, winning against TL despite being 2 sets of rax down and against Profit. And people say those guys aren't good at the game?

[Lysah]

Riot spends a ton on esports, I think, don't they actually salary out all of their pro players?

fuck pendragon

[Sorshen]

Secret and EG are doomed.

[Lysah]

The great NA reshuffle!

[Roshar]

Ah the joy of Day 1 of the Manila Major main event! Both EG and Secret knocked out. Wtf was up with their play anyway? They were both playing like a pub team, especially Secret....felt like there was no communication and definitely no co-ordination.

[Kuntantee]

Riot CEO seems to be a hardcore loser.

[Spryte]

Maybe its just because ive not properly watched a tournament in a while but the Production value of the Manila Major seems really high, at least for the first match. Good additional cameras and overlays. Pretty enjoyable to watch.

That fucker offered entire archive to Riot right? If I was a dickhead and someone was offering me free ideas, I woud defend him too.

Not at all surprised to see both teams out. You just can't compete at only Majors and TIs after a major patch happened that reshuffled the meta and you changed your roster while expecting to do well.

For TS, its insane they kicked their best player by far(W33) to make room for RTZ, but ok. As long as they work on their drafts so they don't start the game at a disadvantage they can probably come back at TI. For EG, Aui is just not a world tier carry,. This meta is a lot about midgame teamfights, and he's a worse carry than Black^, while having the same playstyle and patterns . They need him and Fear to swap positions.

they took lots of ideas from the hero suggestion forum on dota-allstars.com, and then removed that part of the forum before releasing the db years later
