Discussion thoughts... ?

I've been playing Dota since 2013 and this is the only skill that has stayed just as broken in every update.
Playing Witch Doctor is a pleasure, but facing him at a low level (and if the opponent knows how to use him + Vessel) the only option is to run or TP back to base immediately.

I feel like it's one of the few skills that over time has remained with a single firm purpose:
- Fvck ur ass

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

830 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.

Bug Marketable Prismatic Gem permanently loses tradability after socketing into untradable Arcana

16 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I want to bring attention to a critical UI/UX flaw in Dota 2's item system that causes players to lose expensive items without any warning.

Here is what happened:

  1. I bought a marketable Prismatic Gem (Dungeon Doom) on the Steam Community Market.

  2. I socketed it into an untradable Terrorblade Arcana (received from a free event bag).

  3. The game NEVER warned me that the untradable status would permanently transfer to my expensive gem.

  4. To save my gem, I used a Master Artisan's Hammer and destroyed the Arcana. The Result: The Arcana is completely gone, but the extracted Prismatic Gem remains permanently untradable. Steam Support refused to help, stating they cannot alter item attributes, and advised me to post this on the community forums so the dev team can see it. This is a terrible user experience. If an action permanently ruins a high-value item, the UI must show a warning confirmation box before letting the player commit to it. Right now, it's a hidden trap. Please upvote so the developers can fix this interaction or add a proper warning to the socketing UI.

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

Post image
58 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.
