| dota 2 hero guide: 30 Days to Diamond St Petr, 2016-01-18 Before I tell you what 30 Days to Diamond is about, let me tell you what it isn''t. This book is NOT the next 3-dollar booklet promising you all the tips and tricks nobody else knows. Any book that makes such a claim is ridiculous, misleading and a waste of time. ''''30 Days to Diamond is 147 pages worth of specialized teaching, produced by a Master Tier player on both EUW and EUNE servers. It teaches all technical, strategic and psychological aspects of the game from A to Z in a very unique and effective manner. If there''s anything I''ve learned after mentoring over 60 silver and bronze players it''s that anyone, and I mean ANYONE has the potential to become a Diamond level player within a very short time, even if still new to League. In spite of all the information available online, the majority of League''s community still struggle to achieve their goals in Ranked. Nowadays, there are so many Twitch streams, YouTube channels and websites dedicated to teaching the game and yet the results are just not there for the majority. Improving from Silver to Gold is nice, but this is so much less than what progress should look like for most. Being a teacher in real life, the question I got absorbed in was: What prevents people from mastering the game to the level they want, despite them having access to all the information they need? We are talking about hundreds of thousands of players that play ranked. That''s a lot of people. Why is it that so many folks may spend weeks and even months watching Challenger streams, play League for 5+ hours a day and still not improve at the rate they could? This inefficiency is not due to the people playing the game or the information they learn from. It all has to do with how effective learning takes place. A person''s ability to learn from a piece of information is enhanced only to the degree to which they can relate to it at that specific moment. This is the factor that dictates how fast one improves over a period of time. Here is an analogy. If I were to pick two different gold 3 players for example, one may assume that they are at a similar spot on the tree of game knowledge. They are both gold 3, so they must be... right? No, their spot on that tree is unique, as is the combination of things they know and don''t know, it''s just that the net result happens to be the same. Depending on which leafs and branches of the tree they have, if they were both to be traditionally taught the same thing in the same exact way, the result wouldn''t be optimal for both. The key to overcoming those limitations is through teaching the game in the most relatable way, by utilizing the functions of the left and right brain hemispheres SIMULTANEOUSLY through associations and other learning techniques. What most people don''t realize is that their progress is not only limited by what they don''t know, but also the unconscious habits and pathways they''ve created and CONTINUE to create each time they play. Improving at the fastest rate is achieved by also following a daily practice routine that revolves around repeated behaviors that create the right habits, while unlearning the wrong ones. Basically, you transform as a player and it takes about a month. So here is my attempt to change things for the better and have a positive impact on the community. I wrote this book specifically for new and old players that struggle to reach Diamond. It''s updated and relevant to the current Season 6. Everyone that learns from it should be able to reach Diamond within 30 days of practicing no matter what their starting point is. I stand behind my statement that ANY low elo player has the potential to get to Diamond in a short time when taught correctly. As far as the time commitment required, playing 2-4 games a day and dedicating about an hour for the method described in Chapter 9 is plenty. The method is designed specifically for people with a job/school/other real life activities who cannot dedicate 10 hours a day to League. |
| dota 2 hero guide: Framers Kenneth Cukier, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Francis de Véricourt, 2021-05-11 “Cukier and his co-authors have a more ambitious project than Kahneman and Harari. They don’t want to just point out how powerfully we are influenced by our perspectives and prejudices—our frames. They want to show us that these frames are tools, and that we can optimise their use.” —Forbes From pandemics to populism, AI to ISIS, wealth inequity to climate change, humanity faces unprecedented challenges that threaten our very existence. The essential tool that will enable humanity to find the best way foward is defined in Framers by internationally renowned authors Kenneth Cukier, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, and Francis de Véricourt. To frame is to make a mental model that enables us to make sense of new situations. Frames guide the decisions we make and the results we attain. People have long focused on traits like memory and reasoning, leaving framing all but ignored. But with computers becoming better at some of those cognitive tasks, framing stands out as a critical function—and only humans can do it. This book is the first guide to mastering this human ability. Illustrating their case with compelling examples and the latest research, authors Cukier, Mayer-Schönberger, and de Véricourt examine: · Why advice to “think outside the box” is useless · How Spotify beat Apple by reframing music as an experience · How the #MeToo twitter hashtag reframed the perception of sexual assault · The disaster of framing Covid-19 as equivalent to seasonal flu, and how framing it akin to SARS delivered New Zealand from the pandemic Framers shows how framing is not just a way to improve how we make decisions in the era of algorithms—but why it will be a matter of survival for humanity in a time of societal upheaval and machine prosperity. |
| dota 2 hero guide: Global esports Dal Yong Jin, 2021-03-25 Global eSports explores the recent surge of eSports in the global scene and comprehensively discusses people's understanding of this spectacle. By historicizing and institutionalizing eSports, the contributors analyze the rapid growth of eSports and its implications in culture and digital economy. Dal Yong Jin curates a discussion as to why eSports has become a global phenomenon. From games such as Spacewar to Starcraft to Overwatch, a key theme, distinguishing this collection from others, is a potential shift of eSports from online to mobile gaming. The book addresses why many global game players and fans play and enjoy online and mobile games in professional game competitions, and therefore, they investigate the manner in which the transfer to, from and between online and mobile gaming culture is occurring in a specific subset of global youth. The remaining focus identifies the major platforms used to enjoy eSports, including broadcasting and smartphones. By analyzing these unexamined or less-discussed agendas, this book sheds light on the current debates on the growth of global eSports culture. |

| dota 2 hero guide: The Play Versus Story Divide in Game Studies Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, 2015-11-16 Since the emergence of digital game studies, a number of debates have engaged scholars. The debate between ludic (play) and narrative (story) paradigms remains the one that famously never happened. This collection of new essays critically frames that debate and urges game scholars to consider it central to the field. The essayists examine various digital games, assessing the applicability of play-versus-narrative approaches or considering the failure of each. The essays reflect the broader history while applying notions of play and story to recent games in an attempt to propel serious analysis. |

| dota 2 hero guide: I'm a Challenger Blurb, Incorporated, 2021-10-18 The Brooklyn described and pictured here is a complicated and contradictory place. With a long history of racial and economic segregation and waves of gentrifications, Brooklyn is now considered one of America's hippest places. Most of the women who have shared their stories in the pages that follow have lived in Brooklyn all their lives, in neighborhoods like East New York, Bushwick, Brownsville, which have only recently begun to experience the beginnings of gentrification. A majority of residents in these neighborhoods are and have long been people of color. There is higher concentration of people living poverty there than in other parts of the city. The health implications of this structural inequality mean that certain zip codes hold the greatest concentration of people living with HIV/AIDS in Brooklyn. |

| dota 2 hero guide: Socialbots and Their Friends Robert W. Gehl, Maria Bakardjieva, 2016-12-01 Many users of the Internet are aware of bots: automated programs that work behind the scenes to come up with search suggestions, check the weather, filter emails, or clean up Wikipedia entries. More recently, a new software robot has been making its presence felt in social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter – the socialbot. However, unlike other bots, socialbots are built to appear human. While a weatherbot will tell you if it's sunny and a spambot will incessantly peddle Viagra, socialbots will ask you questions, have conversations, like your posts, retweet you, and become your friend. All the while, if they're well-programmed, you won't know that you're tweeting and friending with a robot. Who benefits from the use of software robots? Who loses? Does a bot deserve rights? Who pulls the strings of these bots? Who has the right to know what about them? What does it mean to be intelligent? What does it mean to be a friend? Socialbots and Their Friends: Digital Media and the Automation of Sociality is one of the first academic collections to critically consider the socialbot and tackle these pressing questions. |

| dota 2 hero guide: Triadic Game Design Casper Harteveld, 2011-02-26 Many designers, policy makers, teachers, and other practitioners are beginning to understand the usefulness of using digital games beyond entertainment. Games have been developed for teaching, recruiting and to collect data to improve search engines. This book examines the fundamentals of designing any game with a serious purpose and provides a way of thinking on how to design one successfully. The reader will be introduced to a design philosophy called “Triadic Game Design.”; a theory that all games involve three worlds: the worlds of Reality, Meaning, and Play. Each world is affiliated with aspects. A balance needs to be found within and between the three worlds. Such a balance is difficult to achieve, during the design many tensions will arise, forcing designers to make trade-offs. To deal with these tensions and to ensure that the right decisions are made to create a harmonic game, a frame of reference is needed. This is what Triadic Game Design offers. |
| dota 2 hero guide: Metagaming Stephanie Boluk, Patrick LeMieux, 2017-04-04 The greatest trick the videogame industry ever pulled was convincing the world that videogames were games rather than a medium for making metagames. Elegantly defined as “games about games,” metagames implicate a diverse range of practices that stray outside the boundaries and bend the rules: from technical glitches and forbidden strategies to Renaissance painting, algorithmic trading, professional sports, and the War on Terror. In Metagaming, Stephanie Boluk and Patrick LeMieux demonstrate how games always extend beyond the screen, and how modders, mappers, streamers, spectators, analysts, and artists are changing the way we play. Metagaming uncovers these alternative histories of play by exploring the strange experiences and unexpected effects that emerge in, on, around, and through videogames. Players puzzle through the problems of perspectival rendering in Portal, perform clandestine acts of electronic espionage in EVE Online, compete and commentate in Korean StarCraft, and speedrun The Legend of Zelda in record times (with or without the use of vision). Companies like Valve attempt to capture the metagame through international e-sports and online marketplaces while the corporate history of Super Mario Bros. is undermined by the endless levels of Infinite Mario, the frustrating pranks of Asshole Mario, and even Super Mario Clouds, a ROM hack exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art. One of the only books to include original software alongside each chapter, Metagaming transforms videogames from packaged products into instruments, equipment, tools, and toys for intervening in the sensory and political economies of everyday life. And although videogames conflate the creativity, criticality, and craft of play with the act of consumption, we don’t simply play videogames—we make metagames. |

| dota 2 hero guide: Framers Francis de Véricourt, Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, Kenneth Cukier, 2021-11-23 ¿Qué es exactamente lo que los humanos siempre harán mejor que los robots? Hay algo que la inteligencia artificial no puede conseguir: la capacidad humana para formular nuevas preguntas y analizarlas con otro marco de referencia. Los marcos son modelos mentales del mundo que utilizamos para entender los problemas más difíciles y son la base de la creatividad, el pensamiento crítico y la innovación. Ahora que la investigación en la inteligencia artificial y el big data nos demuestra cuánto han mejorado en memoria y procesamiento de datos, nuestra capacidad de contextualizarlas se ha convertido en una función crucial. |
| dota 2 hero guide: Deep Learning in Gaming and Animations Vikas Chaudhary, Moolchand Sharma, Prerna Sharma, Deevyankar Agarwal, 2021-12-07 Over the last decade, progress in deep learning has had a profound and transformational effect on many complex problems, including speech recognition, machine translation, natural language understanding, and computer vision. As a result, computers can now achieve human-competitive performance in a wide range of perception and recognition tasks. Many of these systems are now available to the programmer via a range of so-called cognitive services. More recently, deep reinforcement learning has achieved ground-breaking success in several complex challenges. This book makes an enormous contribution to this beautiful, vibrant area of study: an area that is developing rapidly both in breadth and depth. Deep learning can cope with a broader range of tasks (and perform those tasks to increasing levels of excellence). This book lays a good foundation for the core concepts and principles of deep learning in gaming and animation, walking you through the fundamental ideas with expert ease. This book progresses in a step-by-step manner. It reinforces theory with a full-fledged pedagogy designed to enhance students' understanding and offer them a practical insight into its applications. Also, some chapters introduce and cover novel ideas about how artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning, and machine learning have changed the world in gaming and animation. It gives us the idea that AI can also be applied in gaming, and there are limited textbooks in this area. This book comprehensively addresses all the aspects of AI and deep learning in gaming. Also, each chapter follows a similar structure so that students, teachers, and industry experts can orientate themselves within the text. There are few books in the field of gaming using AI. Deep Learning in Gaming and Animations teaches you how to apply the power of deep learning to build complex reasoning tasks. After being exposed to the foundations of machine and deep learning, you will use Python to build a bot and then teach it the game's rules. This book also focuses on how different technologies have revolutionized gaming and animation with various illustrations. |
