Discussion Ranking every Dota 2 item in terms of how "cool" I think they are (as a new dota 2 player)

JUST AN OPINION, THIS TIERLIST IS NOT BASED OFF OF ITEM STRENGTH, IT'S HOW COOL I THINK THEY ARE AS ITEMS

If anyone wants to hear my reasoning for these opinions I made a video on it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD5NErpG7TI&t

Edit: I got really tired by the end of doing the list, I would definitely rate a few items differently for example I think daedalus should be way higher

Discussion | Esports Valve should investigate Kukuys, Execration

802 Upvotes

Valve or any related org like ESL/PGL should really investigate this Kukuys group.

It is a streaming group with the likes of former ex pros: Armel, Gabbi, Kuku, and many other Filipino pros going on and off in activities.

As a casual viewer, I have heard many times where they would joke about purposely throwing games in qualifiers, or jokingly suggest that one of their friends playing in a tournament should have told them when that player would throw.

There is also a recent post by KuyaNic, one of the pioneering casters in the Ph Dota2 scene where he claims Kukuys are protected by a certain Mafia group, whose boss by the way happens to be the owner of Execration.

Execration, owned by a certain Boss B, is reportedly known to groom upcoming Policemen, in return making them his own puppets. It is also an open secret that the Execration org itself is a money laundering scheme in the Philippines.

Just recently, the CICC (Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center) added Armel, Gabbi, Kuku, and Palos to their list of influencers illegally promoting online gambling; the group immediately went to this Boss B for protection, and now the group is laying low from gambling promotion.

I think that having an org and a group potentially ruining the Dota scene in the Philippines due to supposed match fixing, syndicate relations, is a bad look for the local scene.

Discussion New to DOTA 2, any advice for a new player

Post image
48 Upvotes

I'm not new to mobas and I've considered playing dota 2 for like a decade but always put it off. ​The length of the games and certain mechanics just didn't appeal to me but hearing people say how much Deadlock takes from it made me want to try it.

Any hero recommendations or tips would be appreciated.

Match ID 9065208242

I was hoping that with all the arcade bots gone, all pick would be back to normal again, but I was mistaken

I noticed the naming convention and knew right away it was a farm bot, but that wasn't going to stop my fun. I picked io, and once I reached lvl 6, I kept relocating him on a cliff until it glitched out

Question Is it just me or this dagger animation is giving me millisecond trust issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I don't think it's really a problem during a match, but the animation bothers me somehow. Is this the only Arcana where the hero has an actual animation when using Blink Dagger, instead of just some visual effects like Zeus, where the hero still faces the direction you blinked?
