I'm spending my semester in Australia and my experiences so far on the Australia servers have been nothing short of atrocious. Can some Aussie gaffers please come play with me? I'm thinking of taking a 3 month break until I'm back in the States at this point.

What? Dont like every match someone sayin "straya kerrrnnt"?

I'l love to play! Just hit up the gaf chat ingame to see if any are on :)
 
Watching western dota is so much harder for me now that I've seen the G-League finals :(

Yeah, I wish NA and EU would adopt China's farm meta.

Reemergence of Dusa and Spec, best meta.

It was amazing to see what Dota looks like when the team doesn't make mistakes. It was kind of entertaining the first two games to see LGD try to gank and iG was just like NOPE this is how you respond properly.

It was nice to see LGD figured out how to step it up well enough to get really good final games.
 
I think it was just the set in general wasn't up to standards. They have since improved the textures and added some things to make the robe less boring. They also seem to have changed the mask slightly so it's not smiling anymore.

I really doubt they'd remove it, I think it suits the style fine, even if the mask is a bit ugly. It's also still in the top sellers.

Talked me out of it, cheers!

a GAF unit who shall remain nameless just dropped this match. Was sad to watch.

Team GAF was strong throughout, but fed one guy early, then IP Man -- who was irrelevant for about 80% of the game -- turned started choppin wood. IP Man was doing God's work.
 
We need a mod to ban Archie every Tuesday for 24 hours.

How many mods play Dota 2 anyway?

Nirolak
TeknoPATHETIC
Evilore
Bish

All four of them should apply an ultimate ban on Archie every Tuesday. Send him to below the trenches. Send him to elo hell.
 
God damn steam. Won a match with Shadow Demon and loot. Not just me but i think everyone was d/c. And nothing has been registered in my match history. This pisses me off like i never played the match.
 
Game Client is outdated. New heroes now ?

Just threw the most epic match ever. Somehow Razor got so fed that we weren't able to get the last tower before their Ancient as they proceded to give us hell and completely slaughter us. I blame an incompetent Omni and Tiny (and myself for some fucking stupid clicks that led to one too many xp and gold bonuses to that Razor). I hate but also love these kind of matches. Sure was a challenge.

I'm guessing I was in this game. Rather glad I've mellowed such that I don't get overly frustrated with new people. Sometimes their execution is just so off that you play on different wavelengths ("Mek? Meeeeeek where is the MeeeeeekfuckI'mdead"), and there's no real answer save more seasoning for 'em.

I need some advice on late game. I tend to play support so odds are if I die in teamfights it's extremely quickly and when not fighting I'm off warding or just staying near towers/with teammates to avoid getting ganked. This leads me to be severely underleveled usually. Say everyone is level ~20 and I'm maybe 13. What can I do to remedy that?

You shouldnt be that underleveled normally. If your carry is at around level 20 then normally you shouldnt be anywhere under 15 or so and probably closer to 17 or 18.


Edit: Anyone know what was in the patch?

Got any game ID's of recent games where this happened? We can look at the replay and see if there's a particular reason for it.

First things I'd think of are that you're being too timid and not staying in at least xp range of the creeps. You don't have to be on the front lines but stay in the fairly long xp tether and you'll at least be getting levels.

Other thing would be that you are moving between lanes a bit too much.

Can't really say without seeing a replay though as you may also be dying too much due to not getting enough str boost to take a hit or a myriad of other things.
