  • These experimental settings are absolutely worth checking out if you haven't already. You don't have to use all of them, but a couple of these could help improve how you play the game!

    Persistent Range Indicators was the last thing I needed to fully make the jump to quickcast on key down without griefing my games in the process. People might complain about it lowering the skill gap but with all the cast range modifying items and neutrals in this game it was needed. The fact you can only have one aspect displayed at a time still keeps the skill ceiling as high as it’s ever been, just helped lower the overall disparity.

      Why not use quickcast on key up though? If you have several spells/items with tricky ranges it can be tough to switch range indicators constantly.

    my favorite trick with persistent range indicator is to use it with Clockwerk's cog.
    1. I can always knew whether i can trap someone or not
    2. I can place cogs on cliff warding spots, either for dewarding or providing quick vision around cliff. The range is quite decent for day time, and i can use flare for scouti g other spots instead

    Hey mate, I find this super useful for save spells as well, ESPECIALLY spells that my teammates may be less conscious of (or less noticeable). An example is Undy’s Soul RIP, or techies shard. It helps me stay JUST in range to be helpful but not so close that I’m in danger. Brilliant content as usual!

    Great video my friend, from my perspective in divine 1 the wait time as you said is not that high I accept 2-3-4-5 type of matches. Since I always get smurf players in the enemy side I really don't care anymore. What I don't like is toxic people but I only use the mute button now and GG.

  • @himalayansaltblock
    @himalayansaltblock Před 17 dny

    Regarding toxic games even when the behaviour score is 5: I think that's just because people with high behaviour score can be toxic but it's rare and only 1 game out of 5 or something like that. Optimistically, it just means that most people aren't toxic most of the time. Pessimistically, it could mean that the behaviour score system is too lenient. But Valve has played around with harsher systems and people did complain about it.

    I got a "bright" idea, since everyone has an aghanims upgrade now, they might as well merge the upgrade into the base hero. Add a new aghanim for a few heroes iteratively again to push the power creep even further. Example: Global Forced duel for legion commander.
    Everyone is forced to go and duel 1 on 1, based on your color (blue duels pink) etc.
    The winners fight it out between themselves untill there's only one standing. Bascially batshit nonsense, but that's what dota is nowadays anyway.

      The skill cap in Dota is so absurdly high that adding helpful graphical indicators isn't going to prevent someone from out-skilling their opponent. There are so many other ways you can gain an advantage over your opponent -- knowing your blink range isn't going to make or break the skill expression of the game.
