There is no reason for a billion MtG threads on the Gazebo either

I agree. However, there are fewer MTG threads than DotA threads. I do still agree they are unneeded though.

y u mad tho

Yesterday we were 8ppl max at one moment, so we'll try again today. Join channel "RPG Codex" on dota (press + in the upper right corner of the chat screen and enter the name or search for it).

I logged into the chat channel after work yesterday but all you clowns were sleeping/out drinking or something.

 

[meh]

Probably sleeping. Well, today Friday, no work tomorrow, hopefully we'll meet.
Currently, we are 4 people sitting in the chatroom with 5 other online / playing others games on steam. We need one more!

 

[Dim]

Im rain8dome9 and i suck at dota 2. i would also prefer the chatroom be outside dota, like in steam, cause my poor laptop cant handle the extra resource use.

Welcome to the gang Dim, hope you don't get bashed instantly. Some of us can be quite harsh.

I asked GG mods to merge threads. Make sure you're on people's friendslist and hang around in channel RPG Codex and stuff if you want to play with codexers.

I left the new thread title, if you want to change it just ping me.

Luckily I never pick Bounty Hunter. I am THE shit though.

I quit dota because of a despicable maphack which still plagues most of the servers back in w3. It removes the fog altogether, rendering the game unplayable!

The inevitable confluence of synchronized simulations and no unhackable antihack program ('no uncrackable drm'). Certainly no fog takes alot out of the dota genera. Hon had this problem too but they fixed it.

the plays

 

[Pope Amole II]

I watched - or, rather, listened the commentary while playing M&M VII - to IG-LGD loser bracket finals and what can I say... Now I kinda understand why chinese people can pull a 16+ hours working days on the assembly lines - hell, they probably enjoy it too.

Still. I'm glad that there were 3 games here, lasting 1 hour and 40&40 minutes, as that means they're gonna be kinda tired, if not exhausted in the finals.

 

[meh]

Sick games in overall during the playoffs, enjoyed this tournament a lot.

 

[Occasionally Fatal]

So, I actually went to watch the invitationals at the location for the last day. Kind of neat, but the ricing, oh god the ricing in the losers bracket final. Dem Chinese gold farmers, eh? A good spectator sport, this does not make, Valve. And the crowd was really only interested in cheering for Navi the last day, IG got a couple of cheers, but unless it was Navi doing something, the response was kinda meh. I mention this because it only really became fun when the crowd was into it. All the Navi games were therefore fantastic, and the chinese ones where they went Anti Mage and riced it up for 60+ minutes were slack jawed bore fests.There were also some weirdly bad plays, where people would just be sitting in their lane watching as a bunch of enemy heroes ran up to them and raped them. Or someone would be creeping while their team fought for their lives a mere screen away. Also, some pretty big ult whiffs. That said, the Finals definitely had some quality plays.

Then, after the last game, GABEN shows up, says 'great touney' and walks off. Didn't even hand anyone a check or anything. Then everyone, including the players on stage, just stood around, not really sure what to do, before being beckoned off stage as well. Well, they did all hold the aegis trophy for a bit, but whatever. Then everyone in the crowd just milled around in confusion before wandering back out towards the lobby, where they proceeded to shuffle side to side around a scattered array of TVs looping the top 10 plays video as the DJ blasted skrillex and one chick danced. Pretty abysmal for a world class, million dollar+ event.

On the plus side, they handed out some swag bags at check in, including some in-game items, a scarf, a weird straw/bottle thing, a leather bracelet with a dota symbol, some 'collectible' hero cards, and the bag itself, which is a drawstring pack.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Alright game mechanics question time! Whats the deal with certain jungle creep spawns at times not spawning at all? What is fairly obvious is that creeps will not spawn when some one is with in a certain distance from the spawn point. However occasionally they will not spawn at all, even at such a time that every one is on a lane for several consecutive minutes. This really only happens in spawn location #8 from my experience

Some units do interfere with the spawn it would appear though, but it does not seem consistent at all. Is this some sort of bug or what? It is quite annoying as it removes an advantage of the safe lane.

 

[Humppaleka]

The enemy often ward that spot to prevent them from spawning and being pulled. A good trick to know yourself too, we've been doing that with meh if we hard lane quite often, thought you'd know that by now.

Change it to "Dota 2 Discussion (Steam: Codex Diversity Squad)", please. If it's too long, cut the stuff in parenthesis.


Today's patch notes.

MEEPO, MOTHERFUCKERS
I'm gonna have to start playing bot matches to practice him

also
- Reduced opposing-team pause resume time down to 5 seconds (from 30 seconds).
will suck to play against meh and other unpausers now I guess :D

 

[meh]

The patch is only for test client, right? Won't meepo reach normal client only next week?

 

[Rpgsaurus Rex]

Now a client crash, or some serious glitch needing a restart will p. much mean a loss... No idea what led Valve to this change.

Fully expecting to see Meepo beating Alchemist soon for the lowest % win in pubs.
