Steam users only, one will be chosen on Sept 4th.
Be honest, if you already got it from someone else, give it to someone else… duh.
May the finest Skonger win.
Its time. First we skilk, then we skong. LETS SKILKSKONG EVERYSHAW
PC Gamer just published a front-page feature on Dinolords after going hands-on with the demo at Gamescom.
“All along the way, there are dinosaur delights… dinos are baked right into the game’s DNA, and even just in 30 minutes I felt like I was constantly experiencing child-like joy at finding some new way they click into the formula.”
from a guy who played league for 10 years, dota has it so good, atleast volvo isn’t trying to remove free skins because they “cant afford” it anymore
but what valve overlooked was the fact that if a game was having life changing prize before, it’s NOT good to remove it all of a sudden. This steep cliff is much unhealthier to the game. It’s totally fine if player base is not spending that much on compendium and the prize pool drops gradually over years, but valve needs to release the similar content first.
He was one of the aspiring talents in the past 2 years.
In all seriousness, I love how certain gameplay innovations/discoveries have rippling effects on the meta that you wouldn’t think are related.
For the unaware: Yatoro started using Helm of the Dominator as his farming item on Faceless Void.
It’s basically a Midas on a 40-second cooldown, which gives you a creep to tank jungle camps and/or apply lane pressure.
People have since realized: if it can work on Faceless Void, it can work on anyone.
Marci is quickly rising in pick and winrate as a position 1 carry and having great success even in 5k+ mmr games using this farming tactic.
Valve doesn’t like it when a hero is too good at both support and core roles.
Marci nerfs are incoming.
All because Yatoro built HoD on Faceless.
EDIT: I’m somewhat aware that core Marcis already bought HoD before Yatoro did it on Faceless… A comment mentioned, and I’m inclined to agree, that Yatoro might have been inspired by HoD Marci to try it on Faceless in the …
Hello, I need to post this since all the crying over the prize pool really annoys me to hell as a Esports fan.
So I watch multiple Esports, mostly CS, where every tournament has a maximum of 1.25 million in prize pool.
Does this stop people from watching CS? No!
I was in Cologne just a few weeks ago, watching CS in a full arena with over 15k people and more than 1 million others watching it online. Even Melbourne and Katowice, also not Valve sponsored events, crossed 1 million peak online viewers.
And now let’s take a look at DotA and ESL One Raleigh. This is probably besides TI one of the best tournaments you could watch as a Esports fan this year. Really nice crowd, good production, funny staff members. But wait, not even 400k peak viewers? Why and how? Or take EWC, Dreamleague and PGL Wallachia. All under 500k peak viewers.
Maybe all the people in here crying about the prize pool should start watching some DotA Esports instead of crying. Start supporting your Esports scene. …
Also added new animations and SFX and changed his idle pose a bit.
Still no ult crawl animation and default melee still lacking but much much better overall.
He has a different walk cycle when he attacks now too, which looks very good.
edit :
Here is a better comparison which is more flattering for the new model
Please Valve I beg you, Mina’s kit is cooked, give her some love
REVERSE THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW VALVE OR WE RIOT
