While 90% of the teammates I end up with are shitty, I have made a thread to vent the frustration caused by those that are especially shitty. If you happen to be pissed off at a Peruvian/Russian or two feel free to add your short story to the collection.

How

How the fuck does this happen

I'm a legend in my own right, I bet if you compared my total reports to the reports of all other players, I'd have the highest.

I know we've had one or two hero guides since this board was made, but hopefully making one that can be used regularly will help to restore the board's activity.

That said, I'll be making posting my quick guide to 6.86 Luna.

In the last year or so, Luna has had some off-and-on appearances in professional matches. She's a strong carry with plenty of presence throughout the entire match. Considering that she's been buffed here and there for four patches in a row, there's a lot of potential behind the hero that is overlooked.

>Skill build

Skill build is simple. Max Q, then E. Every time. Don't take Glaives until your other two skills are maxed. Glaives get stronger as the game progresses, while the other two don't scale as well. It's important to max your Q first so that your ult can actually do some damage. It's more than enough to get a kill on a solo enemy, so don't reject that shit. Q and E can help with harassing and E will give you a great advantage while competing for CS in lane. Level ult when you can, of course

>Early game

Pick up a cheap stat item to help with surviving the laning stage and farming a little faster. Ring of Aquila and Drums are good options. I like to pick up a Morbid Mask right after, since Luna is pretty squishy early on, but hits pretty hard. Luna also has the highest base movement speed in the game, so you can usually wait a little while to get boots.

Once you've got a setup where you can farm efficiently, you'll want to get a Blink Dagger. TRUST me, very important item on Luna. Not only does she have a pitiful attack range for a ranged hero, but your disable's range isn't very great either and your ultimate affects an area around you (See: Earthshaker, Tidehunter, Shadow Fiend, Puck, etc.) It gives you a more reliable escape than Shadow Blade, fits with your abilities, and allows for you to blink between jungle camps to accelerate your farm.

>Mid game

BKB is usually a good item to at least consider. Dragon Lance is a good all-around chPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

This is CANADIAN PIG (http://steamcommunity.com/id/canadianpig/).

I know things have been inactive for a while, so I wanted to see if we can get back in touch with the community. It seems that we had some cool events going for a while that fell off.

First, if you want to chat with other 8chan users, join the public chat channel "8chandoto" in the Dota 2 client. We used to use guild chat, but since it died with reborn, this is the best we have for general user use; just search for the channel "8chandoto" in the user channel list and add it even if it isn't there, it will readd at startup and any other users who have it added will connect to the channel automatically as well.

Second, we have a steam group page (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chandoto) where there are events and discussion. Things are dead now, but hopefully there will be some more activity in the near future (wink wink ;^])

Finally, in order to try and get some people from the community playing together, I suggest lurkers/posters try to get their names out to other players. Joining the chat channel and group are great ways to do this (but not as good as guilds Valve what the fuck). I plan on sending a friend request to all the players in the Steam group to try and get some people playing together. I also plan on trying to use the "Open Party" feature a bit more to try join some parties.

Just wanted to remind everyone the board is alive (at least I check it about every day) so hopefully the silent people will be more willing to speak up and we can start doing some stuff together again <3.

Also, I would make a thread on the beta board but the beta is so fucked up at the moment I can't use the file upload function to make a new thread.

Not that anyone is regularly here, but since there was a migration…

https://beta.8ch.net/dota2 is the beta board. I've started going there instead of here. We aren't really active enough to warrant keeping up long when the old boards start being deleted, so just thought I would offer a fun reminder.

**Yes the beta is shit and I wish we could just stick with the UI of Infinity instead of Next

The one pro is no captcha on this board and some others**

Every game seems better than dota 2 after not playing it for 3 months.

Are you stuck on this game because you don't want to spend money on other games or do you genuinely like being trapped forever in hell?
