Shitposting for Dummies (1st Edition) Every day, new DOTA fans flock to /r/dota2 and marvel at the shitposting abilities of some of its most renowned . While becoming a true shitposting artist takes time and commitment -- not to mention an in-depth knowledge of the human psyche, you too can learn how to be an effective shitposter by following a few simple rules. GayFarang's Top Six Rules to Make It to the Top of the /r/DOTA2 Front Page 

If you are writing your own post, limit yourself to a maximum of 100 words. Most /r/DOTA2 are millennials who have never read anything that was not displayed on a screen. Attempting to post a well-crafted, 500-word essay on your favorite hero will only result in endless "WHERE IS THE TL/DR VERSION??" comments and, of course, downvotes.



Be a sheep. Always go with the grain and post opinions that are shared by the majority. For example: PPD is salty, Peruvians are toxic or EE is a socially-awkward anime fan. Under no circumstances should you try to challenge the views of the majority -- unless you like downvotes, that is.



Tumblr is your friend. Post any moderately well-drawn comic/artwork that has a DOTA2 tag, even if it has been posted 20 times before.



Monitor Twitter s of pro players. Most of them are idiots who can't keep their mouths shut, providing you with an amazing opportunity to feed on /r/DOTA2's biggest need: drama. Please note that this method is particularly effective if it reinforces an existing stereotype -- ixmike is an idiot or TobiWan is a man-child, for example.



You can never go wrong with a proven method. Ask someone you know -- a friend, a neighbor, doesn't matter -- to draw/knit/sculpt you something that is DOTA-related and post it. Add a title that states that a woman (your mother, your girlfriend, your sister,...) did it to increase your chances of getting upvotes, even if in fact you did it yourself. Who is going to check anyway? (Pro Tip: If you don't know anyone with artistic skills, simply steal an image from Google Images)



Make a list of all popular complaints on Reddit and create a bitch-post about one of them each day. Current popular complaints include: USE server, pathfinding and cosmetic glitches. Do not forget, of course, seasonal complaints related to Diretide or the Year Beast event. For optimal results, start your title with [COMPLAINT] to allow people to upvote without actually opening and reading your post.

The Titan of DoTA Fluff (self.DotA2)

submitted 1 year ago * by prempwp x2 Year 2034, DotA 2 community has grown to 25 million people across the world due to its increasing popularity and Valve's spectacular updates being pushed out one after another. The game is so polished now that their headquarters are in Poland. Amidst all the excitement of The International 24 grand finals which are being held in 3 days in The O2 Arena London for the third consecutive time and three brand new heroes announced a week ago by valve at the opening ceremony of The International, something unbelievable happened that shocks the entire DotA 2 Community. A new figure appears who had just hit 11,500 solo MMR, whereas the highest anyone had ever achieved in of Solo MMR in any region was 8700 back in 2018. Since last 2 months hardly anyone had noticed in the MMR leader boards and everyone was shocked when it was publicly announced in the DoTA daily news which was aired everyday on ESPN. The man went by the alias "AFC" sometimes also known as "Aim-Fire-Cog" and Clockwerk was his favourite hero. When people said that AFC never missed a single hookshot/cogs combo in his entire DoTA2 career, it was hard to believe at first but some curious people from the community had confirmed this after digging up his past replays all the way back to when he started playing in 2032. Calibrated at 4.5k MMR initially, within just 2 years, he climbed all the way to 11.5k MMR. He had a drastic diversity in the heroes he picked, he played almost every hero, and with around 400 games played he had a 92% win rate overall. It didn't take long for the news to spread, everyone was suddenly referring to AFC as the God of DoTA, Titan of DoTA or The Unbeatable, the one who has mastered the game in every aspect, some of them even believed him to be IceFrog himself. Hundreds of sponsors and teams were willing to shed millions of dollars to hire him in their teams and sponsor him however, he declined each and every one of them. Even "Team Sunder" managed by former DoTA legend Puppey who is a 3 time winner at the International, once with "Na'Vi" and twice with "Team Secret", wanted him and were willing to replace their carry for him, but they couldn't as AFC declined their proposal too. GabeN was watching all this fracas about this great player emerging out of nowhere and is constantly rejecting every proposal from all the teams and sponsors. That year, the international finals were a close one and the best of 5 was won by the Yellow Submarine 3-2, who were against Team Sunder. After the finals ended, GabeN appeared at the stage for the first time in last 5 years and made an announcement: "By now most of you are aware of the player who has sured every other player in DoTA by hitting 11.5k MMR. He is known for his near perfect gameplay with almost all heroes and immaculate drafts where he always knows which hero to pick in every situation. Most of you think that AFC is IceFrog, but let me tell you, he's not IceFrog, IceFrog wouldn't have lost 8% games that AFC did. However, such a player should most definitely be rewarded. Therefore, I announce, there will be no Internationals next year." there was a short pause for a few seconds and everyone was confused and shocked , "...however, there will be a 1vs1 best of three between AFC and IceFrog, right here in O2 Arena, London." the crowd cheered in excitement and there were chants for IceFrog all over the place. It was obvious how confident the crowd was that IceFrog was going to win this. "There's more..." said GabeN, "...there will be a compendium and if AFC wins, 90% of the contribution will go towards him alone and he will be given the title 'Titan of DoTA', however, if AFC loses, 10 random compendium owners will be chosen and 90% of the prize pool will be split among them." suddenly, the

crowd became even more excited and pumped up for next year and the entire Arena was noisy. GabeN left after that announcement and had shook the DoTA community with this announcement. People watching at homes, or streaming, or discussing on the internet were determined to buy compendiums next year as most of them were confident that IceFrog will win and they had a chance to get a share of that. That year, many people bought the compendium and the prize pool went up to a whopping $100 million. When the day of the match came, AFC who was calm and focused was introduced to the crowd at the arena. The crowd was boo'ing AFC as almost everyone wanted him to lose and everyone was looking forward to seeing IceFrog. However, IceFrog didn't turn up, GabeN came on the stage instead and said IceFrog will be playing remotely against AFC. The crowd was disappointed, but excited nonetheless as the face of IceFrog still remained a mystery through out the years. AFC didn;t seem to care much, he just wanted to get on with playing against him. When the matches started, it was unlike any other DoTA competitive match anyone had ever seen. With perfect combos, immaculate positioning, God Tier creep CS and extreme GPMs and XPMs, everyone was thinking, we couldn't even imagine a game like this was even possible. The depth and intensity of this matchup was publicized to such an extent that even non-players of DoTA2 were witnessing this match. The results though, shocked everyone, in the Best of 3, there were only 2 matches, and both were won by AFC. How was this possible? How can the creator of the Map himself lose? The one who knows ins and outs of everything in DoTA, surely he should have won... instead it wasn't even a 2-1 but AFC managed to defeat him 2-0. Is AFC really the best DoTA player that ever was, is and will be? The event ended with AFC taking home $90 million and as the Titan of DoTA. End of the event, Beever, Sheever and Bulldog's daughter interviewed AFC and asked him, "What is the secret to being the best player?", AFC replied "The secret is in the name Aim, Fire, Cog" and with a faint smile, he walked away. As days ed, AFC played less and less games and eventually stopped playing altogether, his name too disappeared from the leaderboards for some reason and all that was left after a year was his name in hall of fame and people still discussing about how he defeated IceFrog. It is year 2039, 4 years since the clash of Titans and I asked myself, why am I writing about this now? What is my motive, it is because I am not convinced. How can IceFrog lose at the game that he created? How can the creator (IceFrog) be defeated by the creation (DoTA)? While pondering on these thoughts, I thought about the last words i ever heard from the Titan's mouth: "The secret is in the name Aim, Fire, Cog" Aim Fire Cog, a weird name to be an alias... or is it? Wait a minute, Aim Fire Cog, Aim Ice Frog, I am Ice Frog. And a surge of chills ed in my entire body as I realised, it was him, this was all a game that GabeN and Ice Frog had planned...GabeN would get his millions back knowing that AFC who was IceFrog will surely win, and IceFrog will remain the legend that he is while being hidden and mysterious. Its a win-win for Valve, how could I not see this? But why? why would IceFrog destroy his own reputation? The world thinks IceFrog isn't as great as they thought he was... I guess I would never know Why. EDIT: Thanks for Gold and glad you enjoyed this, short sequel coming soon!!!
