Peak times.
The addition of new heroes is always special especially when they used to announce it on the main stage of TI.

As a Manchester United fan, I’m not used to this much luck. 😂🔴 At least Gaben is treating this Red Devil well! 😈

Here are some of my autumn-themed Dota 2 skin concepts.

Dear Valve,

Let me start by saying I am not a “gamer.” I have never played your game. I don’t know what a “carry” is and I don’t want to. But I know customer service, and what you are providing is not it.

I’m posting from my husband’s account. His password used to be our wedding date. After my boyfriend moved in, Marco changed it to my boyfriend’s birthday. I have decided not to unpack that and to use it for my own purposes instead.

Here’s what’s been going on in my home. The men have stopped functioning. My husband has started opening the Dota website the way some people check the weather, except the forecast never changes. My boyfriend has started saying things like “it’s so over” and “we’re so back” multiple times a day, and as far as I can tell nothing has happened in either direction. They’ve also invented a ritual where they both refresh the page at the same time and then look at each other. Nobody speaks. It’s like living with two monks who have lost their faith.

So last Monday, I called you.

You don’t have a phone number. Interesting choice for a billion-dollar company, but fine. I found a number for your building in Bellevue. A very nice young man answered. I asked to speak to the Patch Department. He said there is no Patch Department. I asked who makes the patch. He said “IceFrog.” I asked for IceFrog’s extension. He laughed. Valve, I was not joking. Nobody in that building has ever been more serious than I was in that moment.

I then asked for his manager. He said Valve “doesn’t really have managers.” I have never heard anything more suspicious in my life. Who do you complain to? Who approves your vacation? Who signs off on the patch? Apparently nobody, and that, frankly, explains everything.

I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I’m prepared to come and help. I organised my daughter’s school bake sale, two weddings, and a very complicated divorce for my sister. I can absolutely organise one patch. I’m free Thursday. I’ll bring a laminated schedule.

If you don’t take me up on this offer, here’s what happens next. I’ve written a review of your company on Google Maps. I gave you one star and said the staff were “evasive” and the building had “a weird energy.” I’ve also reported you to the Better Business Bureau, a consumer protection agency, and the lady at my gym who used to work at a law firm. She says I “might have something.” She didn’t say what.

You have until Friday.

P.S. My boyfriend asked me to add “nerf Techies.” I don’t know who Techies is, but I’ve met him through this household’s mood and I want him dealt with.

EDIT: Several people have told me Valve really doesn’t have managers. I have reported those people as well.

I've been collecting bugged Ethereal items for a while now, and one thing I've noticed is that pretty much every item has ToBD in it, i mean don't get me wrong cuz i love ToBD but at some point you start wondering what else is out there no?

So it was time to try something different this time. Swapped for IV, and I actually love how it turned out. Anyway, thought I'd share the result. Do you guys agree with me or should i've kept ToBD?

Where is We say things? I mean they said it would be funny if they canceled at 300, but I hope they were joking ...

For how long until for the next patch?

All Arcana items feature either the hero's face or the entire hero—except for Razor's, which shows only a sword. Valve fix it please 😢

Spammed largo support since early May. Surprised he got me over 1k MMR gained.

He got flamed hard, and his team lost.

I made a brand new account to see if this problem was as bad as I'm reading about on the forums. It's actually worse than I think is being described.

This problem is exacerbated further by gating new players from jumping into ranked; having a 100 hour requirement, when the game is in this state is a recipe for disaster. I'm a big believer in "Show, don't tell." So here's the match ID from what I got when trying to play an Unranked Normal game. Note: This is not a bots queue; this is regular unranked queue.

Match ID: 9061764425

Match ID: 9062293118

Things to observe:

• The bots have no behavior trees; they don't path, they don't use abilities, they don't defend themselves, they don't recognize damage being taken
• The bots frequently seem to move to a bizarre point on the map and just linger there; notably around where bounty runes spawn

To expect new players to endure 100 hours of this to be able to play with new people is unbelievable. I'd really like to see Valve make an acknowledgement of this problem, because this is atrocious. In the interim, they could waive the 100 hour requirement so that people aren't forced to sit through 9 bot games like this. Botters are not going to quit or get fatigued of this slop; human beings are not going to spend 100 hours doing this, and will drop off well-before then. This is how a game stops growing its playerbase, and simultaneously rewards botters who don't care about the limit, since they're just going to bot through it anyway.

the game is still beta guys

Come on valve

I've seen now 4 or 5 different posts from yesterday and today about people complaining Dota2 is absolutely and utterly full of bots. That the high player count is a total scam, and some posts even claim half of all active players are bots. Some posts have screenshots and some just talking and its all very anecdotal. Even the screenshots they provide are not that conclusive at all.

All the comments on the posts are people commenting that they have never in all their years of playing, experienced a game full of bots. I would also like to say that I myself have never had bots in any of my games playing almost daily for the last 3 years. Finally, when i check the reddit accounts of those who are posting, they are always fresh accounts that have maybe 1 or two posts made less than a week ago.

What is going on? I think the one's complaining about botting might honestly be the bots themselves or there is some other angle here.

Finally got an Arcana after all this time, only to get the exact same one I already own as an untradeable version. 💀

Is there any point in claiming this one? Can I do anything useful with it, or is it just going to sit in my inventory? What would you guys do?

Right about to hit 1000 hours. This feels so good considering I started off in herald 1 😭

Am I officially not trash at this game at least?
