Finally finished this project! It’s been a long journey from the initial wax carving to the final polish.

​It features 12.87g of solid gold and a certified lab-grown gem. Holding this much “stats” in my hand feels surreal. Just wanted to share the loot with you all!

​What item should I forge next?

Hey everyone!

Ive been lurking here for a bit and finally decided to post. I just got back into Dota2 after being away for about 3 years. Well life took me down a very different path and i spent that time in prison here in Philippines.

Coming back to the game feels surreal. Everything is familiar but also completely different at the same time. New heroes, reworked mechanics, map changes, etc. It honestly feels like im learning the game all over again.

Back then, i used to play almost every day and now im just trying to keep up without getting flamed too hard.

But more than that, playing again feels grounding. During those years, i had a lot of time to think about my life, my choices, and what i wanted moving forward. Being able to sit down, queue up and just focus on something i used to love. It means more than i expected.

I guess im posting because im curious.

-Has anyone else here returned to Dota after a long life changing break?

-Any tips for catching up with the current …

After working on it for a year I finally finished it!!

It is literally a bug.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been playing Dota for a while and one thing that always bugged me was not knowing who used the Glyph of Fortification — especially when it gets wasted at a questionable time.

So I built a small web tool where you can enter a match ID and it shows:

• Which players on each team used glyph and how many times
• The exact game time each glyph was pressed
• A timeline view alongside building destructions so you can see the context

No login required — just paste a match ID.

Still pretty early stage so I’d love feedback:

• Is this actually useful to anyone else or am I the only one who obsesses over bad glyphs?
• Any features you’d want to see added?
• Is the UI clear enough or confusing?

Would appreciate any thoughts. Happy to answer questions about how it works too.

I absolutely love the bits of lore the Deadlock devs have been feeding us about Ixia through Abrams, Apollo, and Infernus dialogue. I just hope they release a female Ixian character to add more lore and variety since we’ve only seen male Ixians so far.
