games

easily

one fight can turn the game around in dota

in league that's just not true

In LoL its way easier to just lose in draft without items to counter play stuff

we've argued this before, LoL NEEDS it, but I don't think dota and deadlock are above needing it to a lesser degree

dota has way more items that actually do something too

my solution is I just leave anyway

so idrc

Does Dota have a single MU thats like 90-10 unplayable?

LoL has that with a certain matchup, not even tied to lane

you can usually find a place to put everyone that gives you a chance

Malphite v Sylus is a lane agnostic 10-90 MU afaik, I dont think ive ever experienced that in Dota

idk what jungle is like rn, but before that used to at least be an option, hide your hardcountered hero in a trilane and rotate one of your supports to suicide lane

>trilane

Bring them back

I posted that to mainly shit on Riot, I know they canceled their Hearthstone clone aswell in an attempt to make a new MTG (which will also fail)

so

theres not any 1v1 MUs that ruin the game

but theres some heroes that if you just

dont have a counter to

can be basically insta lost

like

if you dont have anyone that can deal with a good necro

its probably GG

Oh yea, i know stuff like PL can just run the lobby if you have 0 answer

same with PL yea

its usually heroes that you cant deal with with a singular item

bristle can be like that too sometimes

or sometimes combos

like

in some comps

if ur playing against mars snapfire

its just gg

you cant do anything

Yea if youre chinese its Bane and Mirana

u have to full avoid

Ig thats kinda similar

teamfights

and play super gross

but like theres stillt hat doesnt really have a counter

like if youre in a shitty mmr game and theres a good WK splitpushing the lanes the entire game

you probably just lose

thats not because WK is uncounterable

its just because if you arent steamrolling

Lmao reminds me of my shitty low mmr games vs Old Tinker

splitpushing WK is just

ok we lost

Yea there are some heros like that, Brood is another one imo where you kinda just get smurfed on

i love brood

i miss old brood

i want her to have invis again

so bad

but ice frog awnts her to be tanky

Does she still have nuerotoxin webs

I, thankfully, almost never see her

yes

But I remember she would just drop a web in like every lane and the enemy team would just have a permanent like -20% armor

its regen reduction

now

Still sounds evil

my favorite strat is still the

select next unit

spam click the map

and see the entire map at once

with her spiders

its so fun

One final thing, Riot letting Hytale go feels even more retarded now. Was Hytale not easy money? Ig the Hytale team would have kept sucking up resources

At TI this year Helm of the Dominator was THE item to buy, so everyone was doing the ghetto version of this with your jungle creeps after lane

yes

every previous version of brood was better

her (and chen) have only ever been made worse

Oddly enough I feel like Meepo is probably easier AND stronger now

If only because Mega Meepo

Stoners btfo

Where does Mario Tennis rank on the Mario Sports tier list? C?

I would put it B

Mewgenics is out, but uh, 35 CAD is too much for me, I'll get it on sale later

Love edmund, but not 35 dollars at launch levels
