Best nights ever

Dota 2 officially launched on Steam on July 9, 2013. Although the closed beta began back in 2011, today is generally considered the game’s official birthday.

Over the past 13 years, Dota has changed almost beyond recognition. Here is a look back at the major updates that shaped the game.

2013 — Official Release and Three Spirits. Ember Spirit and Earth Spirit were added, Storm Spirit received a major update, Diretide returned, and Valve introduced coaching, crafting, item sockets, and several new progression systems.

2014 — Techies and More In-Game Events. Techies finally joined the roster. Valve also added All Random Deathmatch, the All-Hero Challenge, trophies, and several interface improvements.

2015 — Dota 2 Reborn. The entire game was moved to Source 2. Valve rebuilt the main menu and interface, improved performance, and introduced proper support for custom games.

This update eventually helped give rise to thousands of custom modes, including Overthrow and Dota Auto Chess. …

Idk who designed it but it’s pure masterpiece, wish there were more of them

My favorite here is Death

I see Drow in like 60% of my games and its starting to get annoying. This character is SO strong in lane its basically impossible to win offlane against drow. Its pretty hard to dive or gank her too because her multishot basically clears the entire wave as soon as she gets it to lvl 4 and she can silence for 3 whole seconds with lvl 1 gust.

Even after laning phase, Drow never slows down.. once she builds manta and shadow blade she becomes one of the best assassins in the game killing supps in like 4 rightclicks. she completely destroys regen heroes and illusion heroes with her scepter

She has INSANE sieging power when she buys her shard which gives her a 25% bonus dmg and 200 attack range, just for for standing on her ice cube.

Maybe i just havent learnt how to play against her properly but to me it just feels like she does way too much and i wouldnt mind seeing her get a nerf in the next patch.

- Saul Goodman

- David Attenborough

- Goofy

- Dexter Morgan

Or maybe we’ll get RingMaster announcer pack since its his current event :)

TLDR: I would forget to use the river if my tp was on cd, using the river is faster.

If you die with your tp on cooldown and you want to return to the safelane, you can use the river to save roughly 4 and a half seconds (in this scenario). The time you save varies based on your heroes movement speed (you save more time if you have low movement speed).

Approximate time saved:
Without boots: 4.5 seconds
With boots: 3 seconds

This could matter if you make it just in time for the creep wave and you could combine this with a smoke of deceit to move even faster.
