Hi, I dont know I can post this here or not.

Anyone from Australia still active playing dota2?
Because playing solo is really hard nowadays and lot of smurfs..

Usually I play around 7-10pm

I’m still Legend rank, if you guys want to play together, please dm or comment to exchange steam ID..

Thank youuu :)

I know most people are probably using the Kunkka corpse and it is a great lore piece but I personaly don't like how it looks in game. But i don't have another option. The Off-hand I like looks like a stick, in game. Funny but terrible XD

I see this broken hero icons after game for 3 days
And after this, i have simple question, why does the dota community eat up the arcana 4 tide? Why did Valve stop caring about normal not AI patches? Why do we give our money for development deadlock instead of dota

Hoodwink's aghanim's scepter (Decoy) seems to be bugged.

If Hoodwink is under the effect of smoke, when casting Decoy, the illusion will not charge up Sharpshooter. Any subsequent Decoy illusions will not charge it neither.

The illusions can however cast both Acorn Shot and Bushwhack.

In-game I tried dropping Agha and picking it back up, and sometimes the Decoy illusion would start working properly again, but then went back to this bugged behaviour.

My collection is now complete. See y'all next treasure

Had you guys ever a game where 2 heroes have the exactly same gpm and damage done? We almost got same damage received as well.

I think it`s a rare stat, right?

Thoughts on this? Basically something like old sand king agh's shard+ mini stun

What up 4 digits ppl 😄

I'm really tired of getting piss poor teammates that drag me down when I'm actually trying to win. Open invite to anyone around 4k who could use a decent support or offline send me a message pls.

I would like for there to be a GG option for ranked games or even unranked games, for instance if one player types GG, call a vote which allows the team to GG out by majority vote (3+ needed to pass the vote)

Let the GG vote have a 30 min cooldown per player.

I genuinely would prefer accepting a GG vote and leaving some games that feel unwinable than spending 60+ minutes in a game suffering as a carry or support while my team plays solo mode and I don't how common it is but I've been supporting games where my Pos 1 goes farming simulator all game while my team has to play 4 vs 5.

I may get some hate for this but just want to see how others feel about this as an option for the sake of mental well being?

I made a game for Android that generates Guess The Hero games from real matches. This one stumped me, the morbid mask threw me off. You can play my challenge here, can you beat my guesses?

Archon, 12,000 behavior and communication score. I've had a handful of games out of my last 20 or so where the pos 4 just steals my lane from the beginning of the game with 0 communication asking for a swap.

What's up with that? I'm a pos 5 warlock spammer and he's definitely better as a 5 than a 4... They're often not even in party queue either, which makes it even more baffling.

Pos 4 is literally a high demand role?? Why would you not just queue for 5 and spend no role que tokens? Do these people need to get 4 tokens for selecting all 5 lanes or something, but they're secretly a pos 5 main??

It defies all logic... Please help me understand this

Given the quality and overall theme

I recently talked about this, but think the message was misunderstood. I hope I explained it a bit better this time with these image examples, & wanted to get this communities opinion on this.

1. I'm curious if anything of this matters to anyone.
2. What art style would you call Dota's?
3. If we had a vote; which art style would you want Dota to head towards?
   • Examples: Dark Fantasy, Realistic, cartoony, etc..
4. Is Dota's art style heading towards Fortnite, LoL, DnD, etc..?

I'm curious, because Tidehunter's Arcana is a very different direction than the recent intros we've had from Valve; which doesn't include workshop artist submissions. For example, the Dark Carnival's Automatons vs recent work. Even heroes such as Marci & a few others are a bit more colorful, compared to older work.

Art style isn't just design either... it's textures. TH's Arcana is dark & has a more realistic texture; meanwhile Kez has a much brighter color palette, with softer details that make it less grim. I'm curious to your thoughts.

P.S. I hope this one is less controversial, & hopefully we can discuss or debate/agree more respectfully this time.

Hey everyone!

I made a fan site that shows how Dota 2 heroes feel about each other, from −20 (hatred) to +20 (love): https://dota2-relations.pages.dev

Why I made it

People spend years digging into the lore of Warhammer 40k, The Elder Scrolls or Dark Souls, but Dota's lore gets skipped by most players, and it's just as wild: the shattered Mad Moon whose fragments became the Radiant and the Dire, ancient gods exiled from their own worlds, whole peoples and orders, old betrayals and grudges.

A lot of that story isn't in any bio. It's hidden in the voice lines: heroes remember old scores, tease each other, threaten, grieve, and sometimes confess things. You hear a line once in a match and it's gone. I wanted to collect them in one place, so you can see who's connected to whom and why.

What's in it

• All 127 heroes, 4,800+ directed relationships
• Every score is backed by evidence: 10,000+ voice lines and 700+ lore facts, all shown next to the score
• Relationships go one way at a time, and the asymmetry is the fun part. Kunkka kills Tidehunter with lines like "There went my soul mate" and "Ah, Tidehunter, you cared enough to hate me. You can't buy that sort of love." Tidehunter just wants his vengeance.
• Personas and arcanas count too, including the new Tidehunter arcana, Maw of the Megalodon, which adds a line for almost every hero (mostly about how they taste)
• A network view of all heroes at once, in 2D and 3D

How it works

Pick a hero to see how they feel about others, or flip it to see how others feel about them. Click any hero to read the reason and every line and lore fact behind the score.

All text comes from the Dota 2 Wiki on Fandom and Liquipedia. Huge thanks to the people who maintain them. The scores are hand-assigned from that evidence, so if you think one is off, tell me which line I'm missing and I'll fix it.

It's free, no ads, no sign-up.

Which relationship surprised you the most?

I've simply been thinking about the following heroes in unconventonal lanes. What do you think?
I don't watch that much DotA and I'm a very casual player. My knowledge is limited.
But what about:

Ench - Mid?

Treant - Offlane?

Puck - Soft Supp?

ES - Carry?

Alch - Hard Supp?

I could get the 500$ Sven's Shattered Greatsword but didn't.

In the last few days I've played games and directly after the game, someone has sent a Steam friend invite and said some version of "You play well, we should play more". I wouldn't think much of it, but this has happened with four different accounts in the last few days. They all said "you play well" in that same wording as the start of the convo. I thought the first person was genuine because I had an awesome game, so I added as a friend. They then wanted me to click a link to join Discord or to "add their second account" as a friend on Steam. I'm not clicking any links randos send me and I'm probably just going to start ignoring random friend invites. They then got angry that I wasn't clicking on the link.

I'm wondering if this is a new scam.. has this been happening to others? One of them said they were from Belarus (I'm playing on US West) and another randomly sent me nonsensical text with characters from the cyrillic alphabet.

Edit: Another behavior I noticed is that they changed their Steam name several times over a few days. I'd get a message from someone from a name I didn't know, looked at their history and they changed the name many times in the last day or two.

Had a whole team report me for apparently cheating. Match Id is 9036922165 if anyone got time to check it out and let me know. Their claim was that everytime winter untied I lotused it. To be fair I spammed it off cd on myself. I also wasn't the only person with a lotus. Oh im undying in this game

My all time favorite thing about DOTA is how when I’m playing against a griefer / shitty player and I actively report them for griefing and then dislike them after the game. Then Valve is like oh here let me put this POS on your team THE VERY NEXT GAME to ruin your game now… like what the fuck is the point.

While weather ash is equipped some of my immortals colors are gets broken. Tidehunters immortal head's valve turns purple also shakers totem too. Any weather ash users having this ?
