Today's G-1 League matches are already over? Damn it.

Some polycounters are coming up with some fantastical stuff.



Yes that is a platypus dragon.

I'm impressed at how well done some Polycount items are.

I remember reading their forum and seeing a Vigil employee posting a submission.
 
My hope is that the system eventually gets really accurate toward putting you with people that offer a challenge for both teams.

I hate when I get matched up as a solo queue against a group of people where all 5 people pick great heroes and they coordinate, send down 3 for FB, etc. and my team has 3 agi carries and a jungler. We get stomped and in my next queue I get matched up with the stompers and find out they're 4-queuing. It's infuriating – not the losing part, but getting killed by tower divers while my team doesn't tp, they don't speak English except "nigger" and "Jew," it's impossible to ever coordinate them or get them to initiate or follow my initiation, etc. I would like there to be an option to just disable ever getting matched against a 4 or 5 queue when you're solo. At least I can carry my team when both sides are disorganized messes.

Yeah I totally get where you're coming from, you just feel a bit powerless playing against a group of friends/matched up teammates and you're in a team that does it's best not to work together and win the game...
 
Just started playing Dota 2. It's amazing. I feel like I'm playing rock, paper, scissors, shears, boulder, papyrus, telephone, hand gun, hurricane...
 
so sad to see mag and funn1k in different teams =(

but that is probably one of the most hilarious ma:s i've seen by empire
 
Anyone else's control groups get screwed up?

I use Z, X, C for my control groups (and V for courier). Any time I assign something to a control group, it gets overriden whenever I select my hero using Tab.
 
rip dota 2


Everyone having issues connecting to dota 2 network?
nvm seems like it works now... or friends seems to be bugged...
 
New Slardar amp damage is ridiculous, I got to witness it firsthand and the damage output is insanity.

Yeah, I played a game last night where I carried really hard with Drow and did well against their mid Pudge, but their Slardar racked up so many kills that he ended up with a Rapier. He was absolutely destroying us with that and Amp Damage, it was nuts.

Slar is awesome so I'll take any excuse to play him more.
 
Especially with the popularity of Bounty Hunter these days, I'm surprised Slardar hasn't seen an uprising yet. He's very tanky, dangerous early game (especially laned with popular supports like Jakiro/Wisp/Veno), puts out stupid amounts of physical damage, and kicks BH's ass. Excellent at early ganging, chasing, escaping, tower diving, and has a great AOE stun. With the game moving more towards trilanes and aggressive ganking, I'll be shocked if he doesn't become a staple pick this version.

Also, Naix too. That 6 second rage... jesus christ it's hard to deal with.
 
I got dota gifted to me today from Torraz, but I've been able to redeem it.

When I try to add the game to my library it says:

Sorry, an error has occurred:

Unable to add the gift to your game library. The gift may have already been redeemed. Please try again later.


I already had dota 2 downloaded, but it was only the spectator client. I uninstalled that, but still haven't been able to add it to my library. I googled it and many people suggesting spam clicking the add to library button, but that hasn't worked for me either. I sent in a support ticket but was wondering if anyone on here who is more familiar with steam could lend some advice.

Delete clientregistry?

This Yuuka noob, bringing out the worst arrows ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZrI4Va_ylA


doesn't even hit when he hits, rus #1

Around 05:20 here.

The arrow hit the creep right next to Mirana, the same moment she threw it. It's a bug that if you hit something right next to you (possibly the same frame you throw the arrow), the arrow will continue flying throughout the map without disappearing and without hitting anything either.

Dont do anything yet. Steam is all messed up right now. Just give it some time.
 
I did a nice juke (for my shit tier) using veno wards to block my chasers, but I can't watch the replay, it's unavailable :(

Will it be online after some time, or these are usually lost forever?

He is out of trend. He used to be big in Asia for chasing. He can get shut down hard though and never turn into the dangerous semi carry he is suppose to and I suppose people would rather pick CK.

And we have seen Naix...he still has the same old problems. Gets kited to hell, people play around him like any carry with a 5-6 second bkb.

Yes I'm aware, Slardar used to be part of the huge minus armor strats of olden, with TA / VS / Dazzle / Slardar / Shadow Fiend. I feel like he's really good now and fits the direction the game is going in with 6.75, I think he'll pop up once more as a staple.
 
Their bounty hunter casts track out of windwalk before hitting someone. This is amazing. It's like Purge casts a pub if you could see the gears turning in their head.

He can't even do push-ups properly!

Just popped over there for a sec.

30 minutes in and they don't have an upgraded courier.

I've actually been playing him for a bit again, never really used to but he's so good. Only thing that bothers me is his piss poor mana pool, even at later levels. Is there a good item to get on him with mana regen?
