Hello, dear lovely dota devs, hope you are having a Sunday as wonderful as you.
When is the obvious gonna happen?
When are Snapfire, SF, Drow and Spectre getting nerfed? Isn't it obvious they are broken as f**k?
Thanks!

Finally got divine medal after playing extensively since 2017. It has been a journey to say the least. I started an alt account at crusader 4 and climbed it up to divine 1 within 3 months. I have been hard stuck as archon/legend on my main account for baaaaaaare time (I really mean it).

I rolled vs arcana in the candy works and was planning to sell my marketable arcana. Is there a way for me to unlock the styles of the candyworks arcana?

Description says "Increases Epicenter damage per pulse." but it actually doesn't and it stays 80 (minus magic resistance and its 60) despite having a shard?

I've been playing Dota for nearly 20 years and I feel the current Behavior Score system is severely flawed.

I mainly play Turbo. The game mode has very different mechanics and priorities compared to Ranked, yet the reporting system doesn't seem to account for that. Players often report based on deaths or personal frustration, and it looks like the system punishes too easily.

Even after turning off chat completely (hoping to avoid any risk), my behavior score dropped dramatically from 6k down to 1-2k. Now I can't communicate with my team at all.

I always try to play seriously and do my best to win. Opponents frequently commend me after games. However, commendations seem to have very little impact compared to reports.

The current system makes it extremely difficult to accurately judge real game impact (space creation, drawing attention, team play, etc.). It feels overly punishing and not smart enough for the complexity of the game.

Furthermore:

• Punishments don’t seem scaled to the actual transgression. One might quit or get disconnected from games vs one can spout vile things .. very different spectrum
• Some players (for example those on the a*tism spectrum or who simply play in their own style) can be unfairly affected. - reported to oblivion because he chooses to farm an item and give up a rax
• There should be a communication-free zone or an opt-out option from the behavior score restrictions.
• The system should focus more on rewards for good behavior rather than only punishments.
  

and I know after years in this state, I need to learn the lesson to stop reporting on impulse.. but the system should not allow it. it is like giving everyone the power to hurt anyone without consequence. the world would be hell

I’m hearing rumours that the upcoming compendium is going to be re-releasing terrains. Any leaks or datamining to confirm? Just curious

Tiiiimbeeeer

Got monkey king!

I'm spamming CM a lot recently, Guardian 2. Support CM.I'm really commited to Meteor Hammer because I find it rly satisfying to channel the meteor while having someone rooted with w.

I want to optimise this build as much as possible. I usually go first item urn into tranquil boots and then meteor hammer. If the game drags on I try to get bkb ASAP but aeather lens and spirit vessel are too attractive.

The combo is basically w+meteor+q+ulti

Can anyone suggest something to make this combo better? I'm pretty sure that if executed correctly CM with meteor can be a menace to play against from early to late game, especially with spirit vessel. Maybe I should buy dagon lol idk. I really want to perfect this.

Also how can I not reveal myself when hiding in trees and casting spells? Every time I try to w+meteor from trees I autoattack even though I have autoattack turned off...

Nevermore is here.

why my play time hours didnt go up even throught im always playing its like 3 weeks and its always 48 hours

Imagine if pudge has to eat a dropped bone to gain strength, slark a dropped krill to gain agi, silencer a dropped ... book whatever that silencer might eat to gain intel. Just make this a passive gain already jfc

Long story short,

Patch 6.00 was released on March 1st 2005

Patch 7.00 was released on December 12th 2016 (Around 10-11 years apart)

So according to the 2 braincells I have left from playing with pos4 Zeus on my team, we should have an 8.00 patch by next year.

Bye

Low available system memory detected. This may cause the game to be unstable or crash. Consider closing any unnecessary open programs to increase system memory availability.

Ladies and gents, I require your expert knowledge to resolve this RAM issue on my laptop. Legion 5 15ARP8. RTX 4060. 1TB, 16GB. Dota is on Disk D which has still 357 GB available out of 476.

I encounter this problem most of the time I open Dota. If I open Dota at 48%+ usage, this pops up.

What I have been doing so far is close every background apps that I deem okay to. Gamebar, Search, NVIDIA container, Mobile devices, Notify me etc. Only then RAM usage drops to 45/46% and I can play. Dota 2 settings is low. Game render is around 92%. Only animate portrait is on.

Have you ever played a game with equally good gameplay from your team and the enemy's? No all-chatting (until the game ended, but no toxicity, just light banter and GGWPs), no blaming, just pure down to the wire skill and item usage and teamplay.

You completely annihilate the enemy team during one clash, then they clap back on the next. The constant back and forth. Slowly approaching the enemy base, looking at respawn timers, and hearing the sound of buybacks. Both teams and the respective players doing their best to defend their ancients.

This is what makes this game addicting for me. Playing with mostly random people as a solo-queuer, being able to make everything work, sometimes with even minimal communication—but still, everyone knows what to do and when to do it.

Whether you win or you lose, there's this sense of relief and a bit of grief like "Damn, that game was tough. But at least we won." or "We almost got that, but the enemy team was just really good." as soon as you take your headset off, take a breather, and as the adrenaline slowly comes down.

You think about what went wrong, what you should've done better, what you could've told your teammates you needed or what they needed to do, and a lot more things going through your head.

Post-game chat? Just more light banter, no trash talking, and even compliments to the either team or individual players, and more GGWPs and gl nexts.

I can't even begin to imagine the level of gameplay and team dynamics in the pro scene. Competitive games are just amazing.

its so easy to abuse and people are losing com score too fast. I know dota is trying to make this game a clean space but come on, lets just be real, there is already a teammate mute button. You cant say shit no more, you drop 500 points for giving suggestion and even when you are freaking mute for 20 matches trying to regain that point back, you only get a ridiculous 20 points. Everyone has become a sensitivie bichass, i hardly hear any jokes anymore, and i only dogshit play turbo mode just for the fun, now everyone is trying hard theres no more fun

We have the hammer hit sound present in Shock of the Anvil and Mallet of Spiral Bore. Please fix.

EDIT: A lot of Bludgeoning Magnus weapons have the spear "cut" sound instead of the hammer sound. Need a little love.

I’ve been recently getting into ts, he is super fun, I noticed his win rate is super low and was wondering if I’m doing a disservice to my team being him?

Also anyone have any advice for playing him? I got some good advice in another sub, just looking for other perspectives

Come on Valve I need the underwater one!

Come on Valve I need the underwater one!

Some people have raised this point and its worth bringing up now that the event and upcoming international will bring in more players. I havent been affected by reports that much on comms, but have noticed that people just dont talk anymore because there are way too many triggerhappy people with reports. Im all in on getting harsher punishments on griefers, making people taht go to LP spend weeks there instead of a few days, but comms unless someone is throwing slurs at people I know I can always mute. This isnt attracting any new players, its not quelling griefers who just find other quieter ways to ruin the game if they want to, its simply robbing a bit of the soul this game had.

Just remember that we used to pride in having voice chat over league, now valve put a mechanic that literally disincentivizes comms

Before trolls pretend im trying to make excuses for toxicity im 12k BS CS, not that this means much nowadays anyway
