riki players can consider spamming riki

6.86d riki has been awesome for me

finally appeared under guide in dotabuff for riki

to all riki players out there, tranquil build.

zDon.Frank

depends, most of the time dagger is a must. dagger is good for escape from ulti + initiation.

if opponents a lot hard hitter and not much support or kiting, just go full dps + tank without dag.

it has not been awarded yet and there is no way to claim it, it will be automatically added probably in next major patch or few days before end of the compendium.

not really. people have been complaining that no prediction points have been received yet. valve still doesn't reply. so probably in nxt patch we will see the prediction point being added to our compendium.

after compendium expires it will no longer be shown to us, so you can no longer claim anything.

good to know that osfrog still replies email



provided him comprehensive feedback for 6.86 riki

imo, random draft is easy to play, as there are so many easily counter-able heroes suddenly become non-counterable.

won 6/6 of my random draft games.

i believe valve is gonna introduce draft pick mode like LOL ranking,

" first ban will begin the drafting process in a 1:2:2:2:2:1 draft format for the 5v5 brackets "

good thing about 5k bracket is that, you get to play against top 200 sea leaderboard players. u get to meet all the pros



LFT.b1kA ~ invoker (top 10 sea leaderboard)

XctN.Kim0 ~ disruptor (famous pinoy captain)

Akuma ~ OD (top 1 Arc warden @ dota buff, pinoy player)





bokerino ~ razor ( new mineski offlane player , rank 31 @ sea leaderboard )

lol, game is so shiet nowadays, im hoping they roll out 6.87 soon with nerf to those op heroes.

now, the games are either your team winning with issues in opponent teams (Quarrel, griefing, quitting), or your team is doin it.

very rare to play games with all 10 players actually trying hard and best. played 10 games yesterday only came across 2 games like this.

another game with the mineski bokerino as carry, threw and babyraged after 4k players wasn't able to keep up with him in decision and mechanics.

these pro players should have some discipline themselves. dropped item, feed when things don't go their ways

he is either using wifi or its his computer lag.

i have been using time for 8 mths no issues. 15ms all the time

finally after 2 mths, reached 5k on my old account which i abandoned after ranking was first introduced. calibrated 3.8k , dropped to 3.5k @ dec 2013

funny thing is that

mushi didnt play a match after shanghai major.

net played all the matches and earned the invite to manila major along with 4 other members.

valve invites players, not team, fyi. unless you are ti winner or major winner, all other spots are players invitation, and not team.

now invite is secured and mushi came back just to bench net who has been in the team since august 2015?

bench in dota 2 is simply
- stay ready all the time when needed
- cannot play anywhere as primary except open qualifier

if u want to bench, u bench before open qualifier or roster lock, u dont bench after invite is secured.

if anything, mushi doesnt deserve the invite as he hasn't played a match since shanghai major.

if anything, it's mushi abusing the effort and "time" of net , as net has the confidence of being registered as primary and therefore played his hearts out when mushi was sick. now u tell him to get benched? what a joke dota 2 scene in malaysia has become.

again, if anything, u bench or kick players before roster lock, not 1 mth into roster lock and main qualifiers already concluded.

u are telling net to stay at home after all his effort during these golden 2 months for manila major and get minimum basic salary from fnatic? haha

these guys are evil

the reason i think babyolin hasnt spoken anything is because she doesnt feel fnatic is doin it right this time, and she doesnt want to be public enemy, as everyone in malaysian scene is siding fnatic over their unethical benching of primary players after manila major is secured, and speaking against their decision is basically auto flame.

it's not like net has played pos 1 for 5 years. net has always been pos 4/5 players since mufc and hasn't played pos 1 role competitively. he is forced to play it due to mushi being sick and their inability to find a willing standin for pos 1. they can only find 343 who has dispute in team taring and 343 who rose to fame only during his time in wisp @ major all stars can only play pos 5. and people talking how net underperformed as pos 1? what a joke.

fnatic only lacks a good captain (lets be honest, mushi isn't a good captain. xtinct did all the shot calling and drafting during ti3 orange), mushi hasn't been good since ti3. only hyped by the fangays. now that 343 took the captain role and draft role fnatic started to do well, and this is what fnatic lacks all the while. and mushi of course as "veteran player" , he will try to keep 343 and since 343 can only play pos 5 and he doesnt watn to sacrifice dj, net is chosen as the lamb for sacrifice.

all in all, mushi is selfish big ego and he will never stop doing things like this.

i expect a revoke of fnatic invite since net has spoken. net has spent 9 months on this team, playing top notch support role as well as standin as carry for them, and only to be benched. this is even worst than 322 in arrow gaming

to add on to the insult, net was the one playing pos 1 and won the invite to epicenter moscow. and now he doesnt even get to attend and mushi is taking his place.

LOL.

epicenter 1st prize is 250k usd and 7-8 gets 10k, at least 2k usd. as net is forced to leave on his on accord, he basically lost also the 2k usd which he secured through the qualifier. he could have spent all his time elsewhere instead of being a standin for mushi.

and about people complaing on net pos 1 performance. let's be honest, in all my games, if the pos 1 player is shit, even when your mid and offlanes are doing well, you dont win games as you still need the super power from pos 1 to end the game. if pos 1 lacks the fire power eventually enemy pos 1 will rise and turn over the games.

343 is borderline 5k player @ sea. he is certainly a good communicator and speaker and fill up the role of fnatic drafter (mushi is not a good drafter or shot caller; as evident in ti5; even back in ti3 orange, its xtinct that did all the job). on the other hand, net is always outspoken and probably the best support in SEA or world. look at his warding and how he dewarded, and all the timely swap and play.

if u look at this video, https://twitter.com/ReiNNNN/status/723520535519367169

u will know net is the typical outspoken and introvert guy who is quiet and isn't fluent in speaking or communicating. this kind of personality makes it easy for u to get bullied and sidelined, and thats why he is taken for granted like what happened.

its sad that valve implements roster lock to prevent this and still fnatic management is playing around the rules to bully net and take advantage of his dedication and dream.

they all were ready to travel to epicenter moscow without him.

and net didnt even know and got informed by his close friends (mushi, ohaiyo) and his manager about their decisions.

and , net was part of the team that won the epicenter moscow sea qualifier.

if im net it will be my worst day in dota 2 career. you fought hard, tried hard and thought u have earned your spot when manila invite was out, and only to be "forced" and "bullied" by your team. even roster lock couldn't save him from this.

net has played 600 more games than 343 competitively, and has more than 60% winrate on most support heroes, heck, net is top 50 in dotabuff for most support heroes like AA, vs, cm, witch, dazzle

competitively net has 67% winrate over 968 matches.

and 343 has only 55% winrate on 328 matches.

in pub, net is 6.8k mmr with lots of support heroes played.

whereas 343 spammed mostly wr, invoker, slark, pudge, tinker and only support he plays most in pub is rubick. and he is at 5.2k solo and party.

if mushi knows whats shame, he should just stay as coach instead of robbing net of his position. every1 is comfortable with 343 but mushi is scared of losing his position, thats why he had to risk losing valve invite and forced net out.

after ti3 orange.

mushi went to dk. best team in the world, yet failed. mushi performed badly in many games, hardly any chemistry in ti4.

mushi came back to form team malaysia and caused titan to "disband". team malaysia had good streak, then when they started to lose, mushi disband and went to china with ohaiyo, leaving net and other teammates again.

ehome decided they do not want to sponsor mushi and ohaiyo after some time, nobody wanted mushi post ti4 shuffle, they came back and they formed fnatic again, this time with johnny, kyxy and kecik.

ti5 failed like shit, and further told us that mushi failed as a captain and drafter (without xtinct who was a good drafter and shot caller, mushi cant do much). tried to shift position in ti5, failed even harder, and kecik imba was dumpstered to shit tier due to the instability and indecisiveness of mushi as captain.

kicked kyxy and kecik, recruited net and reformed fnatic. net played his heart out in these few mths, shanghai major while dj/mushi was drafting and dj being shotcaller. they failed again. mushi took a break after shanghai major, taking 343 in from team taring who had internal dispute.

343 could only play pos 5 and he is the shotcaller that fnatic deserves. suddenly fnatic is performing well again without mushi.

and of course big guy mushi wouldn't want to be just coach, as he has not achieved his ti champion dream yet. since 343 is the drafter/shot caller that fnatic needs, and 343 is only capable of pos 5, and dj being a good rotation to pos 3/4, net is the obvious choice to boot.

so that happens.

the only problem with the team is mushi.

any team with mushi in will not get champion, mark my words.

if mushi is good china team would have spent millions to keep him in their team, but what we see is, after team dk, mushi is unwanted in any china team, even ehome abandoned him.

basically, the moment that mushi decided to go DK and china, he no longer cares about the SEA scenes. There is reason why he isn't sought after in China after DK.

All the talents in SEA especially Malaysia are just his stepping soon whenever he came back to Malaysia due to his fame.

This time he could have chosen to continue being coach instead of forcing net out.

After Ti3 Orange, this guy is just playing for himself, when Dota 2 is actually a team game.

good news for people who want "recalibrate" instead of creating new smurf

NEW FIND YOUR PEAK RANK As a Battle Pass owner, you'll be able to join matches with other dedicated players striving to reach their highest potential. Battle hard and track your MMR progress via the new Friend and Global Leaderboards to see how high you can go.

At the conclusion of The International 2016 Grand Finals, you'll receive an achievement trophy digitally engraved with your Peak MMR during this season, as well as the option to display your highest record on your profile for the following year.

Join The International Ranked Queue to begin your calibration. Play 40+ games and you’ll also have the option to replace your normal Ranked MMR with your new, hard-fought Season MMR once The International 2016 is complete.

in b4 smurfs going back to their main account and recalibrate back to their original mmr

in the picture there is 5.xx k shown, so i think its possible to recalibrate higher than 5k on seasonal mmr.

i think its better to do it after a week when there is more players.

at the moment the seasonal mmr is a bit broken due to low playerbase.
