DOTAFire Blogs

HEY EVERYONE! I'm back from the dead yet again and I APPARENTLY won the ******* contest! Granted it was only one of the specific categories but still! I won, and I just want to thank everyone who supported me along the way and didn't trash me for making guides on a video game (which most of my classmates did but fck em). Anyways, I'll calm down... Okay, so for future plans, I'm going to make even more guides but the process will be much slower since I decided to focus on my YouTube channel once again. But don't worry, I STILL play Dota 2 and I will probably play it A LOT more once Puss In Boots and Tinkerbell arrives.

ANYWAYS, see you next time guys! :D

This is the first in a short series of theorycrafting blogs I'm going to be doing. It's a subject that's been on the back of my mind for a fair while now, and since we're only (or still) a couple of weeks out from the much-anticipated 7.07, it seems pertinent to do this now
and then

Why do this now? Well, a lot of what I'm going to bring up can be easily addressed and my points illustrated in terms of what we're expecting to see in 7.07. I'm going to break down the discussion into a few key points and try to keep this structured, rather than ramble on as I am wont to do.

Warning.

Maths.

Foreword 1: 7.07 predictions, and "leaks"

As with any leaks, take these with a really hefty grain of salt. A while ago on 4Chan (lul), there was apparently a "Valve insider" who leaked some of the changes that would occur in 7.07. It's a high chance these are completely false, but they do look really cool. What I want to focus on now is the proposed talents chan…

LORE:

'Twas another serene evening at her library, perusing countless uncharted tomes of high-level sorceries that can only discombobulate anyone who dared to read but her. But unlike every other, this particular eventide had massive bloom of a powerful magic that tingled her skin. The origin of which seemed to have come from all directions. Her grimoires reacted in various ways at the alarm of such an incident.

But this does not alarm her, she never cared in the first place.

She remained isolated, and desolate, in her gargantuan and comfortable cage that have books for bars. And when it's finally time to receive her usual tea, none came. Normally, she wouldn't mind, but if there's naught been tea nor coffee for the next 24 hours, she's bound to leave the library. The library door opened with it's usual low-pitched creaks, but what greeted her was not the usual hall nor the usual lush carpet. It wasn't even the usual sun nor the usual soil that met her the moment she took a step out…

So this is a blog?

Here lie the creations of the swirling darkness that is my mind... look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Suggestions, criticisms, and comments are most unwelcome. /sarcasm

The Blind Seer is a hero based around a cool concept but one who's abilities I'm not entirely pleased with.

Xaeran, the Master of Attraction, a hero based around gravity with several unique abilities and an Oracle-like skillset that can hurt your team if not played correctly.

Mazzil, the Crazed Dwarf. This hero has a unique ability that the rest of the hero builds around, and is worth checking out. Compared to some of my other suggestions, this hero is relatively easy to play.

Some Item Ideas: This is a list of over 20 items that either build from items that have a linear progression to them (to add variety to the game), or simply ones that I feel should be added to the game.

Nulmarra, the Skull Lord: This is the epitome of a snowballing mid; its power is strongest when its enemies are weak, and it can …

Heyo! I know it's been awhile, but I got tired of waiting for the Neurologist and got a second opinion from a Chiropractor and a therapist. Both of them said I likely have a pinched nerve, so the massage therapist started working on it and confirmed that the majority of my neck, shoulder and elbow were filled with more knots than a boy scout rope.

The massage lady said that I should take physical therapy because insurance would cover it.

I've been spending the last month working with them and low and behold, I can feel my ring finger again. The pinky is still mucked up, but I've gone down to only going twice a week and I've been cleared to play DOTA for 3 hours max.

Still not good enough to be a pro, but at least I can play the game again. I'm thinking about starting a stream where I teach new players how to play the game until they're level 20.

Hello everyone,

After watching TI this year I figured I'd give this game a second try. I'll play some Jakiro games to get a grasp of this game after such a long time (1 whole year!).

If you want to hit me up, my Steam name is: "Friendly Patrick" with a Leo Trockiy avatar (just how you remember me).

Wish me luck!

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted in awhile, but I have an update to make.

About a month ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes and took some time off to adjust to my new lifestyle. I played here and there and even decided to invest in a trip to TI to see the scene. I still had intentions to go pro until today.

About 5 days ago, I thought my hand had just fallen asleep, but as the week rolled along, the numbness in half my hand wouldn't go away. I went to the doctor today.

Diabetic Neuropathy in a main nerve all the way down my arm. The numbness is spreading and they said that big wrist movements on that hand would only aggravate it more. I see the neurologist in a couple of days to see how hardcore this stuff is.

For now, gaming on the PC is no longer an option until I get the clear from the neurologist.

I am still passionate about the DOTA community and I hope to start a stream someday if I get the clear to game again, or potentially get a special mouse which will allow me to move w…
