How's your DotA going?

any recommendations for a new camera grip bind? left my mouse at a lan in philly and wont get it back for another 2 weeks and i want to practice for a dota tournament but my deathadders mouse3 is broken

how do you mean? i use mousewheel click to drag my camera around, but edge pan is fine too. just dont be a filthy wasd user like jaH or will4zoo

Yeah I’m pretty sure deathadders have 2 side buttons and the mouse wheel is m5. Why not just use m5, the default

im way too used to using mouse3 and for some reason my thumb hurts a lot when i use mouse5 for camera grip

i no longer use a keyboard. i dual wield deathadders and use one for camera panning and spells and the other for moving my mouse.

i also binded several key phrases like “SHUT THE FUCK UP APES!” and “great job teammate!” to one of the numerous bbuttons on the sides

when i first started playing dota i used wasd for the camera, but at some point decided to switch to edge pan. However, this has forever effected my other keybinds, as I still use Q2ER instead of QWER for spells and use W for camera center on hero.

u should definitely be running a naga+deathadder lineup, dual deathadder is overkill unless you got 2 cursors

just laughed really hard to myself about thumbrolling your mouse in a teamfight

i bought an account with 100 mmr to mess around on

i dunno if i should chronicle some of this stuff because it’s pretty hilarious

im currently playing with a guy who has 0 mmr

im pretty sure this guy is on acid and im telling him what the luna ult does with aghs and he’s freaking the fuck out

this pangolier locked his javelin and hasn’t been able to figure out how to unlock it for 25 minutes

Sounds like a good enough reason to chronicle it. I used to have a bud who was friends with some infamous 0 mmr retards and their games were such a mess to spec lol

lmao i miss late night unranked games tbh

ive lost about 400 mmr in the last 3 days and encountered so many games that were flat out unwinnable its just not fun.

seeing the other team having a 300 game 250+ win account in every other game and my team having an immortal account that has 80% of their games on SEA and a 30% US east winrate is just so off putting

that doesnt even include the people running down mid, afking, breaking their items

my behavior score fell below a smiley and now my games are unwinnable

yeah im really trying not to be that guy who picks storm spirit and shadowfiend against players who don’t know what a scroll of teleport is but playing support in these games is one of the most masochistic things a person could do I think

idk if I can take it any more

why dont u just not play on that acc then lmao

if youre playing support because your team isn’t youre doing it wrong. They dont know how to support so they dont bother trying, even if they pick a support role they probably wont know that theyre a support because theyre truly lost

support or not if you want to have any semblance of control over the game you have to pick a fragger, youll be able to live whenever you want thanks to your superior dexterity

jsut press your buttons better in a duel

also obviously anything that moves you around or makes you fast is good against them because they probably have really poor dexterity

i used to get drunk and turn my monitor upside down while i played mid against liek 1.5-2kers but i had the virtue of playing iwth others

really spelunking is best experienced with friends. if everyone manages to secure a low mmr account it makes for really fun drinking games

lmao. i dont drink much but the little dota i still play is a weekly tier 5 (like 3k-4k i think) battlecup with my friends. its me and my one other 6k+ friend carrying 3 2.5k MMR players who hit dabs and take shots mid game.

yeah i know how to 1v5 shittier games, part of me wants to see if i can truly take the account from 0-5000 mmr playing only support, not sure how possible it is at LITERALLY zero mmr though, but I think that would be pretty legendary.
