stay away from ogre magi and chaos knight then

I love CK despite him being kinda consistently inconsistent

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 12:54 PM b0b

Spooky got me to play brewmaster and I like him

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 12:55 PM b0b

Although I haven't played in a month and I just reopened the game to cancel my dota plus lol

thanks for reminding me

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:53 PM b0b

I turned mine back on when Max said she might play last month

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

Dota+ is unironically pay to win, but its not like you cant play without it

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

But the games undeniably easier with it imo

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:57 PM b0b

Gabe gave me like 3 months free last TI

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:58 PM b0b

It lets me be lazier

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:58 PM b0b

and yeah, it is just pay-to-win, pay-to-qol

The cosmetic/voice lines are very fun

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

But camp timers make it worth

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

Also the lil arrows at draft are great too

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

Really is a lazy tax

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 3:59 PM b0b

yep, all the in-game overlays just save me from having to track (if I'm trying)

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

before they added dota+ (and before they removed all my cool custom scripts)

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

you used to be able to add a lot of 3rd party scripts/hotkeys to stay active

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:00 PM b0b

but now it's just $5/month

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

I thought it was 1 dollar, maybe 4 max

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

$3.99/month

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:01 PM b0b

just checked

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

with minimal savings for paying yearly

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

also, I think they paywalled blocks/mutes

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:02 PM b0b

I remember reading that somewhere

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:03 PM b0b

you can still report w/o D+

Spooky Phijkchu Jul 23, 2026 4:03 PM b0b

but you need it to blacklist queueing into someone

Polar_ Jul 23, 2026 4:09 PM b0b

I think the avoid list is also time gated, but maybe thats just other games

Kribbles Jul 23, 2026 4:38 PM b0b

Is knowing the jungle stack timings under dota plus? I think it is, if not, that's basically the only thing I really use it for

Polar_ Aug 2, 2026 9:52 PM b0b

literally shit on infern so hard in lane he freaked the fuck out and went 0/13

bob Aug 5, 2026 7:07 PM b0b

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 7:25 PM b0b

Whats the big circle on the top right do?

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 7:26 PM b0b

also yes arguably I have played too much

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:12 PM b0b

I played three games of dota for the first time in almost 2 months and lost all three of them. Glad to be back, boys

i saw you jumped on when i went to update it, did you actuclly play it with your ick on eck

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:29 PM b0b

if so does that actually work?

ranked? just came back to the game after a big break, i should have played the day they had Shives 2 scale with melee dmg

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:36 PM b0b

feels like Spirit meta again, idc what anything says Apollo is giga hitler rn. slowing hex be damned. I know people bitch about his Parry change, but i think its arguably better targeted.

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:49 PM b0b

Oh, maybe steam deck? Yeah, I have dock and hook it up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Works just fine. Typical Linux issues where audio messed up for about a year, but Valve mighr have finally fixed it?

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:50 PM b0b

There was a guy on /v/ that would post his dick on his steam deck like every day and say ick on eck

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:51 PM b0b

Polar, you and every other deadlock player might be gay

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:52 PM b0b

sorry

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:52 PM b0b

i dont even play that much

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:52 PM b0b

but theyre all trans,. its like tf2 adjacent

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:52 PM b0b

I bet you play Ivy when you do though

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:53 PM b0b

no but she is lwk gooner pick

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:55 PM b0b

I know absolutely nothing else about any other boards lol

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:56 PM b0b

i will check on v once in awhile, sometimes after a big release, but the board is dog shit

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:56 PM b0b

I'm going to /r/ you Kribbles

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 5, 2026 11:56 PM b0b

watch out

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:56 PM b0b

I spent a while on /po/ though (not pol) doing origami lol

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:57 PM b0b

can you make some cool shit

Polar_ Aug 5, 2026 11:57 PM b0b

like a shuriken

Kribbles Aug 5, 2026 11:58 PM b0b

Nah, I was one of the people who just made a thousand paper cranes or what not

Kribbles Aug 6, 2026 12:00 AM b0b

Is deadlock actually fun? It felt like smite and I kinda just got bored fairly quickly

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:01 AM b0b

I think the core game *can* be fun, but the game is still too ill-formed in beta to get a sense of what it wants to be

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:01 AM b0b

which is what burned me out on it

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:03 AM b0b

not kit/balance changes, but the larger fundamental changes

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:04 AM b0b

Its unirronically the same thing that killed Underlords (Valve's autochess game)

i dont think its any different from the Dota issue of where you have to play 100 hours to start playing

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:07 AM b0b

Dota also moved in that direction a bit, after 7.0 I'd argue they've increased the frequency they "reinvent" the game

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 6, 2026 12:07 AM b0b

I thought the 3 rounds I played were fun

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 6, 2026 12:07 AM b0b

but I would never play more

Underlords died for chinese money what

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:08 AM b0b

well, it died when they starved it for updates

Polar_ Aug 6, 2026 12:09 AM b0b

Yea, i think thats because the guy who made the arcade mode wanted more money than valve was willing to give him so he said fuck off and just made autochess

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 6, 2026 12:09 AM b0b

but the lead-in to that was when they changed the whole Underlord mechanic, and made it more of a CYOA than an autobattler

Polar_ Aug 6, 2026 12:09 AM b0b

and then underlords was left to die in arcade mode
