Anti-Fun CAN BE FUN! - Grubby learns Dota 2 - A to Z Challenge - Bounty Hunter 

"Get aether lense" "Nahh I'm gonna get octarine core" *Tasked failed successfully

Best part of my day is when these videos come out! Your attitude and insistence on learning at your own pace is really refreshing in a game where the player base makes it so toxic so quickly... Keep it up and i hope you continue in this game, you will be an asset to the dota community

I appreciate you committing to dota 2 my dude. You have no idea how much of an addition personality like yours add to the dota 2 community. We openly welcome you and we appreciate each and every single content you put out there! Much love grubby

A thing about inexperienced Bounty Hunter players is that they during laning stage often will take a lot of damage from the enemy and their creeps while trying to land a Jinada hit for those 12 extra gold

I think it would be nice to include the parts after where Grubby looks at the game stats at the end

The backseating is insane.

Grubby is what the real PMA means. Keep it up man. I know you'll be great after learning a thing or two about game mechanics. Cheers.

all good grubby, you doin fine, always looking forward to watch your dota videos :) super ecxited for TI as always!

"Sometimes its not enough for me to have fun. Sometimes i want my opponent not to have fun" - thats golden

I believe grubby is learning the most he can by playing every hero. I myself back in 'classic' dota I played against AI with every hero too before trying multiplayer. I must say it really helped since I took my time to see all spells and figuring out the items, but now with all the info around, just getting into online against other people should be much better! Also by watching this series is making me wanna play it again, which I didn't feel like for years. Thx grubby!

I feel like the biggest issue is map awareness. Your team often fights near you, and you miss it. As a tip, try to listen to game sounds. If you hear a bunch of spells being cast - something is happening, so you might need to join.

This series of learning dota is the best. Always love to see new and enthusiastic people taking on a game I have an abusive relationship with. Grubbys attitude towards learning is so great to see!

please, just eat tangos when you've lost hp and rebuy regen :D most of the early game you're running around with less than 50% hp. In wc3 it's alright to be low hp but in dota it's a free invite for your opponent to aggro you.

I’m so invested in this series rn. Lol

I love this series so much and I'll be sticking to it all the way through to the last hero. Also, just a quick tip: Know when to keep farming or when to join your team for team fights. I've noticed in some of the previous videos that you were still farming when your team is already fighting or pushing. Each hero has their "timings" on when to keep farming or gaining levels and when to start fighting people and running at them. Keep it up Grubby! Much love

Grub you so patient with chat even when they get on your nerves. Your sarcasm is hilarious when you start to get tight with them xD

i love how chill he is and not bothered by being new to the game

Yeah these people you were playing against were HARD countering your character in everyway. They knew exactly what to do and how to do it. At this level yes, they were "smurfing". So in case one doesnt know there are counter heroes to every hero in the game.

I am not a dota player, but have been loving these videos, I feel like I am learning about the game together with Grubby

I've watched your DOTA2 games (enjoying the series a lot btw) and have noticed small mistakes that constantly cost you gold, when you're dealing with creeps on lane alone: 1. You never engage ranged creep, while melee creeps are killing each other. Ranged creeps yield more gold and they die much faster. Also there is zero chance to miss last hit, as melees are busy punching each other. Reliable gold income missed here. 2. You deny your creeps when there is no enemy hero around and creeps are killing each other. That's a waste of time and gold, having less friendly creeps minimizes risk of missing last hit. 3. Siege machines yield even more gold, so try to have them in priority when possible.

You've inspired me to "git gud" and give dota 2 another shot and i am having a lot of fun. Thanks grubby

Ok the slow monologue zoom is low-key hilarious

Glad to see Dr Strange enjoying a mortal's game

"learn dota before playing" ah yes, the good old read a guide and you're ready to compete :D

2:00 Hahaha Grubbbb, there are also strength, intelligence, agi, gold stealing. I might miss something, but there are all types of stealing here xD hahaha

"aether lens nooo it's not part of the build, I'm gonna get octarine core" LOL

You can use invis mechanics including shadow blade while tping or channeling spells:)

Shaman is one of those who learn biking through books instead of actually riding it KEKW

in case you have not learned this yet, reliable gold is gold that cannot be lost on death, it is mainly gained by killing heroes though there are a few other ways to get it while unreliable gold can be lost on death and the most common way of getting it is just farming. most of the gold you will be getting as a core(think position 1 to 3) will be unreliable gold so dying is even more punishing for those.

This shuriken build is one of the most satisfying build in dota imo, the only tip i can give you is once you get aghanim try as much possible to stay back and dont meele enemy hero instead just track and shuriken, thats it.

you can also invis and wait for your invis cooldown then auto attack enemy then invis like blademaster

Crazy how much he's improved since this.

Bounty Hunter is one of my favorite champs in Dota2. I tend to play him a little more aggressive with the items but I do love to run around being invisible tagging enemies

BH is all about ganking. Either you use him to get vision for your team by invading their jungle and try to get pick offs or you gank on lane tp to other lanes to increase pressure there. Never stay passive and farm. In late game he doesn't scale to well if you haven't had any advantage in early game.

That debate about anti fun kind of reminds me of a quote from an MTG pro. "In a game of Magic, there is only a finite amount of fun to be had and I want to have all of it."

On "anti-fun" mechanics -- it's a totally fun option to have stuff like that; only question is whether you are okay with being on both sides of it. (getting stunned is also "anti-fun", so is getting killed and having to wait to respawn, etc.)

you can just see it. he loves dota. he wants dota

Invis > Track Someone > Hit with Jinada > Shuriken

"Sometimes I want to have fun by making my opponent not have fun" Yep lads, he's converted.

Ah, my favourite hero. Greed is good!

clarities are one of your best friends in this game

Any hero you are planning to get Vanguard Or Hood of Defiance on can rush Ring of Health which helps you lane

Yoink yoink... so it take that info!

taking invis level 1 can help you secure the bounty rune steal from the enemy

keep doing it, as long time player, i learn it again together with you

10:25 Grubby in situation like this, try to attack neutral creeps so they kill you before your opponents do and they won't get gold and exp :)

Bounty Hunter was (is still) my favorite hero to grinding MMR especially on low bracket (Herald, Guardian, Crusader, Archon) . The damage physical output is high and this guy doesn't need to farming, just track-hunt-kill, you're gonna be rich.

a true moba player, the fun you leech from the enemy team means more for you!!

Your videos are making me want to give dota2 another chance.

Anti fun is the best kind of fun 😤

Cant wait the day you learn all heroes

36:29 "Learn Dota before playing!!!!" I see why people leave this game and have a miniscule of new players. Didn't even let him LEARN BY PLAYING IT lmao. This is the game where you LEARN by playing with an actual people. People might say "just play with bots", but that only gets you so far, the actual learning and the plays comes by multiplayer, not bots. This game always push you for a "Trial By Fire" learning method, you have to fall over a lot if you want to succeed

i really want to see him play a hero for a second time.

I m new subscriber 🙃

Tip: if you play BH offlane and your team dont have front line. Better if you go for bkb 1st not aghs cuz your ult and 2nd deals so much dmg

2:15 Spoken like a true dota player

2:00 unless it's a 3 hour game against the old techies

Cha-ching!

Grubby is a masochist confirmed. There's lot of anti fun in dota, so you're welcome for a hell of rides Bounty Hunter can be a very versatile hero. Nowadays there 2 builds, first one is your build. Spamming his Q (shuriken toss) with aghanim build + spell caster item 2nd one is becoming a hitter/auto-attacker because his 2nd (jinada) skill is scaling with your atk. And with track skill, you can keep chasing enemies there's also another old build that becomes an aura carrier. basically, because his stat is tanky, he can buy all aura items and provide buff for teammate

hey man., keeep at this, and show people anyone can learn from dota from 0., we neeed new playerss to keep our game alive ;)

dis dota videos of yours grubby makes me happy, I watched you play warcraft and enjoyed it, then you played dota 2 which made me happier. However, yes the game is fun but just to give you a heads up you'll encounter toxic/racist player and sometimes long games will make your head hurt. But still playing dota custom maps from 2009 then dota 2 from 2012 until now still brings joy to my stressful adult life. Just enjoy the game grubby!! good luck always!!

Opponent have a lot of strong spell and u have a good early, it is better to go bkb+ a lot more carry hitter build rather than hood+agha build. If u build hitter build u can try 1 shotted their backline int hero 1st.

has anyone explained the agro/deagro yet?

Cant wait gruby reach earth spirit and invoker lmao

You're going to love the next hero. Pure micro.

not using jinada toss when you have agha is kinda pissing me off lol, btw jinada toss can bounce if the next target is tracked and thats so op if you track them all.

stackdrop, setfall... But I really glad enjoying this game...

That shadow shaman probably a smurf too thats why this game has smurf in the enemy team. Because as far as i know smurf wouldnt be toxic at this point of learning.

Yo. In your next WC video, can you show a mass WInd Riders build order?

Grubby just expressed that he enjoys defeating ToD when he complains about his “No-fun” way of playing.

Anti-fun = Anti-mage

Grubby, will you ever play party with the community?

Grubby please try Enchantress 😁

Man, I'm loving toxic Grubby 2:12

Use q to lasthit creeps, its pretty cheap.

You really need to rush ags on BH, and u should be playing as a core to do that, he did change with this patch note in which i havnt played him this time yet, but playing as a 5 COULD. work, IF your actually not buying gold for your 3, but hes more suited for 1-3 and dont play him mid if your in high ranks lol if your low rank it MIGHT work lol but at the end of the day whatever gets you ags will win you the game, its just constant gold

Quelling blade insta kills wards. Or dont they do that anymore. I havent played for a long time.

I can finally say I am better than Grubby :D

You played well, only you do not need to follow the guide strictly, in this game you played against casters, all of them, then you need BKB faster , way before octaine core. Keep that in mind. Casters-> fast BKB.

Please try to focus more on last hits. 50-70 every 10 mins? (You do play well btw) It's refreshing to watch your gameplay Mr. Grubby. Looking forward to see you play Zeus. GLHF.

He loves anti fun, if only he could play the old Techies :(

Its battle pass season so many high rank will play normal game to increase battle pass lv

Valve did remove anti-fun in the form of Techies.

Antifun? Grubby you are late. Valve killed my techies...

Dam, a DOTA hero can die hella fast like its all very fast paced and one mistake can end ur hero in a split second...not a very forgiving game. I'd give up easily.

I think this game could be win if instead of aether you go for bkb. Enemy heroes had only magic damage and you would be immortal

Part of the problem is people can take games way to serious. They are games, they are make believe, you are playing as a different character. As long as you arent being personal and if its obvious you are starting to get to someone then there is no harm done. The issue is people getting bent out of shape so easily because they haven't been introduced in the culture of not taking everything so personal and getting angry from it.

I've always said that sc2 pro players would be the best at Dota. I wish I knew Jaedong and could convince him to dedicate 10k hours of work to Dota. Maybe Dota would take over Korea instead of LoL

the first hero i ever played. love this greedy goblin

You will not listen anyway but I have to say it. DOTA is a team game and you play alone too much. Map awareness. Try to always watch not only your hero but surroundings. You need to always check and be aware where are your allies at every moment. This is number one skill you missing now and have to learn. Good luck!

Anti-fun is super fun. That's why I mained Valeera in HotS... but then they turned her into an off-tank.

You can also build attcker on bounty

"Autocast on W? I don't want to, I could not have it for an enemy!" You were not using it for entire teamfights kekw Do baseline stuff first, optimization comes later.

This AM movement is so odd. It is like he playing on laptop touchpad or something.

No Fun Allowed! 🙃

Feel sorry for you regarding the BP of this year..it's one of the worst BP in years.

all the people in chat who instantly call anyone a smurf are so embarrassing, it's like their brain can't accept someone playing the game at a decent level

you never see bounty hunter in tournament play, always questionable if he can make an impact. if everything goes well your team has a lot of extra bounty money and can snowball hard. If things go wrong bh cant do much most of the time.

riot coined anti fun and removed any fun elements in league, its ok to take turns about having fun

I like that you play dota now but man its hard to watch sometimes...
