It’s on a good sale now but I was wondering if they have fixed it because the optimization was bad even after patch 9 as far as I know

So back when I was really active in Dota 2 and traveling to tournaments and Ti I really got carried away with items especially couriers. I paid several thousand dollars for these rosh ones and have a few more. But were they really worth it?

I’ve been so tired of mids attempting to gank our offlane at 7 mins, failing it and then complaining that the support was not there to help. Of course: it’s the wisdom timing!

What can you do instead:

• Gank the enemy offlaner who is alone because the support is getting their wisdom
• Gank the enemy XP shrine with the help of your Pos 5
• If you have info they will contest your XP shrine: help secure it

and watch their hp bar melt lol

its so hard to see dead heroes with all those texts and half cut hero icon

Turbo is great for me as a busy father of 2; I get to play several matches in a short amount of time.

Who do y’all ban without hesitation? For me it’s Bristleback. Or if I’m planning a big tank build I’ll ban lifestealer or AA. My friend bans sniper 0.02 seconds into the game 🤓😘

Everything crammed into a small portrait is not the answer

A collab comic me and my buddy BigRock made regarding everyone’s favorite scrunkle. (multiple imgs)

The painting “Biblis” by William Bouguereau was used as a reference.

Sort of combined different parts of her other redesign concept art that I liked (she would normally wear a shirt ofc but I really wanted to show off the tattoo, lol)

I’ve seen enough people complaining about there being a “secret” playtest and “Valve doesn’t care about us” that I feel the need to give my two cents on why its nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

I want you to think of every game where a Calico or Holliday— or even Shiv if you played when he was added —utterly dominated the lobby. How you’d read every patch notes praying they were nerfed. The other playtest is to prevent exactly that. They have some of the best players out there stress testing these heroes, pushing their limits, to see how they need to be balanced.

This was the whole point of Hero Labs before, but dwindling player counts and sky high abandon rates killed that almost entirely. If Valve dropped the next patch with half a dozen untested heroes, it would be such mayhem that no one would be happy playing in any lobby.

We are playing the “real” Deadlock, we’re in the “real” playtest, …

While the McGinnis model has not been updated yet, and perhaps her abilities too, it is still relevant.

Model and renders by me.
