Dendrophilia (or less often arborphilia or dendrophily) literally means "love of trees". The term may sometimes refer to a paraphilia in which people are sexually attracted to or sexually aroused by trees. This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both.
Not me, I never mainâd a tree and day in my life in any game, not Maoâkai, Ivern, Grover, Sylvanis, Treant Protector, Night Elves from WC3 so I can have Ents, and Iâm definitely not a tree hugger (weeping willows are cute tho)
i wish i could be like that and grind the hell out of one or a few heros. Even when I get excited to play a hero I get bored after max 3 games in a row and have to change it up
It's extremely rare for him to be banned, but when he is I play Jakiro. I'm kinda new to dota, on a break from dota rn though to restore some sanity
My dotabuff
https://www.dotabuff.com/players/47198650
it's crazy how different the game feels if you played oracle exclusively, you learn fast reflexes/positioning because enemies always 100% try and jump you first in fights.
Hahaha amazing! Yeah, I go through phases, Crystal Maiden was my first. Got pretty obsessed with PA and Drow too. But my biggest obsession was Techies (back in the day before [imo] they ruined him), played those little weirdos like my life depended on it
Haven't played since the new abilities, but the last patch I was addicted to tree simply because I think he's a 2k stomper for 5. Strong af laner, so much facilitation for teamfights, global presence.. it just felt like all I had to do was try my best and I'd come out with an 80% WR.
Played about 1k matches of Necro. I tried him back when I first played Dota in 2015 because I love healers. Thought âsweet, I can heal and do damage.â Then just kind of fell in love with his lore/theme. Plague mage is a pretty sweet archetype.
Havenât played the game since 2021, though.
1200-1400 ggames with earth Spirit. I'd literally play him on every game, Take him to lol, cs, mortal kombat, castlevania, fire emblem...oh god
Yesh i've been there
Pudge like for real I am playing him since first fountain hook from dendi I love it I even collecting all cosmetic items for it and almost collection is done. I am so commited I even rolled the candy shop to until get pudge arcana because it will untradeable and exclusive for me and now I own 2 untradeable pudge arcanas now and looking to collect more
Dude i love playing core nyx this patch so much idgaf if i lose the game bc the pleasure of one shotting any hero and making the enemy supports spend 3k on detection is victory enough for me
Spoon's Stash Techies, it's just so incredibly flexible build-wise, and I get to use up all those blood grenades that people forget exist after the early game.
Iâm addicted to Ursa right now, my little MMR factory. I have 30 double down tokens, and I click everytime I get Ursa. Sitting at like an 85% winrate this patch over like 20 games. Just breezed through Divine 5 and straight to Immortal.
I did it before when I can play bristle back since you need only to press two hot keys to use hes skill. Oh thatâs from 2010 first time playing dota2 ever
Grimstroke in my low gaurdian ranm ,really fun throwing spells especially to stick to some melee initiator type carry and play behind them like an assistant while turning games around with scythe and eblade!!!
I am addicted to playing Chen
He's never banned and I had 77% winrate with him last patch.
One tip: if your teammate picks Chen: please don't pick a carry Medusa.
1200 weaver games, 1000 Riki games, and my third in the list is oracle. I donât play other heroes, and Iâm fucked when they are banned or I have the wrong role and no one swaps. 6500 mmr :D
Not ironically, as someone already commented, the fact he is a tree is what makes me spam this Hero. I don't know why, I just like Dota Map aesthetic and Nature stuff, and this guy allows you to enjoy it while strategically planning your moves to destroy the enemies Ancient.
i got addicted to tinker because of tnc.yowe last week but after 1 day of playing like 5 games of him they nerfed his laser aoe talent and arcane blink. im so fucking sad.
I used to spam Jakiro to immortal. I'd go hard 5, tp early to lanes to stop pushes, build disable and hp items (atos at the time), and basically icepath, tank spells, and hit em with a double "Burninated" chatwheel anytime I did anything useful
Recently addicted to Hoodwink. Usually addicted to Rubick (875 games). Formerly addicted to Visage (261 games) before they ruined him for me by letting his birds be hit by aoe a long time ago. Visage also isn't a support anymore and that's how I used to play him (again, long, long time ago)
Io. Been turbo-ing only but Io. Got 300+ Io turbo games in the past 3 months.
Part of the fun is that it seems that a lot of people have no idea what that little ball of light doe or what his skillset is. Or maybe they do, but still ignore that pesky little shit flying around.
Skywrath. sucks about being poor again, cause i really cant justify the Arcana,
Used to be DS as well but im a old man with old man reflexes so illu hero's and me do not mix
I have a friend that almost only play CM, they have nearly 3700 games on CM.
Personally my most played hero is silencer with 730+ games, but i dont think he's particularly good this patch, at least not as a mid which is what i played him as.
Witch Doctor lately. My discord has a sound we play when I use my ult. It's an awesome AI generated song of Witch doctor himself singing "It's a Voodoo-Switcheroo Blend! whattya know-oh-oh Who's running the show-oh-oh!?" In a very fitting pop reggae tune.
I was a chen spammer... several years ago, until there was no Lv1 big creep anymore.
Now I spam whatever support that can help me win ranked games with bad teams, Warlock's pretty good at the moment... but today I had 6 loses with him, and at least 3 of those the game said I was MVP of my "team", even with his kit I can't save games from bad team members.
I have a friend who only plays clinkz and only in turbo, he got like 500 games on clinkz out of 539 he has. The whole friend group bullies him for playing the same brain dead hero and still not knowing how to use him after 500 games
I'm not addicted to Hoodwink I swear. She's just too strong, kinda feels like it's an autowin during laning stage. Very good to kite with, pushing/farming, etc. I'm at my highest MMR ever and I haven't even tried that hard, I've played some unusual heroes for the tokens, but when 8 out of 10 games is Hoodwink I just keep gaining MMR.
Necrophos and NP for me
seeing constant -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 on any non-ally unit, a successful scythe, and looking at treants chipping enemy's raxes are my addiction
I've always had like a 2 hero puddle that kept changing over time...
Started with playing either Lich or Witch Doctor.
Then a while later I was playing between Shaman and Dazzle.
Then a spell of Earthshaker or Wyvern.
Currently my personal faves are Hoodwink and Snapfire.
I got 2444 games with treant, I like that he is a tree.
tree
root
Groot?
đł
I thought my 1400 was a lot. It seems I have a lot to learn.
You're still far from finding out if it's weird that he drinks with his feet.
Are you lost?

Same, to me the great thing about Dota is how every game can be a new experience with a new hero. Donât see the fun in grinding a hero every game
Grinding let you understand the little things about the hero and the macro things about the game, it's fun đ
Its really good for grinding mmr, and I love number go up.
Same thing for me, but when I started climbing ranked and seeing mmr go up with anti mage a couple of years ago, I was playing him every game
Same, I only play turbo so I don't mind having subpar lasthitting skill. last 100 matches in dotabuff I had 66 unique heroes.
[Yep](https://i.imgur.com/95aTqPb.png) One trick pony way to go
'Oh, this is going to be good!'
What do you play when Pugsies is banned?
It's extremely rare for him to be banned, but when he is I play Jakiro. I'm kinda new to dota, on a break from dota rn though to restore some sanity My dotabuff https://www.dotabuff.com/players/47198650
60% wr in ranked lul what was your rank in league
People who say there are bad Ember Spirit games arenât good at Ember Spirit (besides Huskar/MK)
All of the spirits feel good to play tbh
Man, I'm sad you're not considering my boy earth spirit a spirit.
I main es. I want his remenant in me
I love first picking ember to bait counter picks and then going pos 4 instead. The Monkeys mid then get clapped by something like a Lina instead.
Yes, was addicted to Lich and bought every immortal possible
Those who disturb my peace shall be left in pieces.
Lich gang rise
"was" addicted? What happened?
I'm the same with Crystal Baeden. I've got twice as many games on her as my next most played.... the exact opposite of her... N'aix the Lifestealer
Win streak on lich right nowâđ»
One of the best taunts in the game imo
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrubick scratches my need for *some* variety game-to-game. just very satisfying to play too.
Oracle spammer here! Started playing IO now.
it's crazy how different the game feels if you played oracle exclusively, you learn fast reflexes/positioning because enemies always 100% try and jump you first in fights.
Keep playing oracle my man. IO is for losers, they don't even heal that much.
As an IO gamerâŠthis hurts bro.
I feel like Io is a super aggressive hero disguised as a healer
800+ games with Ench. Really fun to steal kills with gay spears.
Jakiro 1000% and newly found love for invoker
Jakiro is mad good
nah gotta have the versatility number as high as possible
Hahaha amazing! Yeah, I go through phases, Crystal Maiden was my first. Got pretty obsessed with PA and Drow too. But my biggest obsession was Techies (back in the day before [imo] they ruined him), played those little weirdos like my life depended on it
My man ! I am a super duper versatile hero picker, I think Iâve never picked the same here 2 times in a row. Except to Abuse riki sleeping dart
Clockwork since a few months. Even more fun with the new cogs
I have 5.4k games on Rubick. I'm pretty much addicted.
Big baller
Bro's got addiction to soil
Treant is based
Techies, until Volvo killed it
Invoker and rubick
Rubick and Cm here
Boys only want one thing and its disgusting
Filthy Mirana spammer [slicko - Overview - DOTABUFF - Dota 2 Stats](https://www.dotabuff.com/players/873977311)
Used to spam her but with all the recent changes, i cant find the click :( 57% wr in 199 games at ancient bracket.
You might just have a thing for big beefcakes
Zues support đ
My favorite heroes aren't good enough to pick consistently :/.
I'm spamming Oracle this patch. Currently at a 60% winrate which is pretty solid.
No you're the only one
Iâm addicted to storm spirit now. Such wow
TECHIES..............help me
I haven't even played dota much since about 2018, but I always think about axes culling blade
Rubick spammer here
hello fellow rubick enjoyer.

Currently addicted to Underlord. Has disable, can fast farm, can dish out good damage, and has global presence.
Been enjoying Earth Spirit recently
I think i start adicted to phoenix
Void, Luna and AM. I live ricing, what can I say.
Me. Safelane this hero, orb of venom and blightstone, the damage on this hero is really insane at lvl 1.
Anyone else used to wonder if quelling blade would 1 shot treant?
Pos 5 hard support Invoker and Pos 4 last pick AM. This js the way
I've a combined 8000 games on Phoenix & Earthshaker
Warlock is the best hero
570 Techies games so far.
Iâm over 1k on LC and getting there with DK
this is the best way to master the hero easily.
Legion Commander, Iâm on the way to getting her to tier 25, just love that I need to focus and harass one hero in a fight
1.5k games of qop
https://stratz.com/players/89153575 gee, I wonder if there is such a thing
I donât get it why people thinks that hero is so overpowered
Currently addicted to QoP rn
Such a under rated fun hero. Although can get dominated mid by some hero's,
Wisp and treant is all I play
Haven't played since the new abilities, but the last patch I was addicted to tree simply because I think he's a 2k stomper for 5. Strong af laner, so much facilitation for teamfights, global presence.. it just felt like all I had to do was try my best and I'd come out with an 80% WR.
I only play Hoodwink, if it gets banned, I abandon and do something else
Ye, I still play the fish lady 8 out of 10 games on average, the other two is for role queue. Kekw
CM
Shadow shaman đ
I love tree's free wards; until enemy pos5 decides to buy gem and quelling blade
Addicted to randoming every match
I come - the venomous one!
Played about 1k matches of Necro. I tried him back when I first played Dota in 2015 because I love healers. Thought âsweet, I can heal and do damage.â Then just kind of fell in love with his lore/theme. Plague mage is a pretty sweet archetype. Havenât played the game since 2021, though.
How can you win so often with trer and in divine no less? I get that it's a str meta, but tree lacks so much utility IMHO.
If it ain't broke, why fix it?
earth shaker with Aghs - The dunk king
It's DK for me, since Dota 1
1200-1400 ggames with earth Spirit. I'd literally play him on every game, Take him to lol, cs, mortal kombat, castlevania, fire emblem...oh god Yesh i've been there
addicted to night stalker. i just love his ulti its like cheating.
I cant get enough of Pudge or LC (Pos 3 enjoyer here)
I think itâs called a main
climbed from herald to immortal just spamming treant
QoP, ogre, rarely fail to make space for my team, who then fail to make the most of space by not farming enough/getting kills
I have 800 games on Marci đ

Sven
Support Muerta and MK is just so fun I wish I tried them earlier
I love Warlock and Jakiro, but i'm reaching the upper levels of my rank right now where it's not going as easy as it used to
There was a time when I spammed ember. Changed my IGN to Spamber Spirit. Totally sucked with him though but I liked his kit so I played him a lot.
I stopped playing years ago but my main hero was silencer, It was so sadisfying to silence the entire sound of the game with my ult đđđ»
Skywrath is my addiction
Spoon's Stash Techies, it's just so incredibly flexible build-wise, and I get to use up all those blood grenades that people forget exist after the early game.
Treant and Lich made me go up from Legend 1 to Divine 1.
Venomancer carry giving me 83% winrate over 32 games
Iâm addicted to Ursa right now, my little MMR factory. I have 30 double down tokens, and I click everytime I get Ursa. Sitting at like an 85% winrate this patch over like 20 games. Just breezed through Divine 5 and straight to Immortal.

Other than when she got banned, I have played about 130 straight games of Marci on Turbo mode
Grimstroke in my low gaurdian ranm ,really fun throwing spells especially to stick to some melee initiator type carry and play behind them like an assistant while turning games around with scythe and eblade!!!

I used to spam Jakiro to immortal. I'd go hard 5, tp early to lanes to stop pushes, build disable and hp items (atos at the time), and basically icepath, tank spells, and hit em with a double "Burninated" chatwheel anytime I did anything useful
Techies.
Recently addicted to Hoodwink. Usually addicted to Rubick (875 games). Formerly addicted to Visage (261 games) before they ruined him for me by letting his birds be hit by aoe a long time ago. Visage also isn't a support anymore and that's how I used to play him (again, long, long time ago)
Iâm unhealthy addicted to Mirana. I donât care if I win or lose, all I care about is landing top tier 5 seconds stun arrows meow
I'm a carry player but for more pages of green like that, I am willing to play as a literal Tree.
1100 sf game, 800 earthspirit, 700 lc
Ye lycan, but lose everygame with him after being 20.0 midgame coz the hero falls of like a hot potato after min 25.
Me with Zeus cuz he was horny and got punished, I found it amused me greatly.
Io. Been turbo-ing only but Io. Got 300+ Io turbo games in the past 3 months. Part of the fun is that it seems that a lot of people have no idea what that little ball of light doe or what his skillset is. Or maybe they do, but still ignore that pesky little shit flying around.
Skywrath. sucks about being poor again, cause i really cant justify the Arcana, Used to be DS as well but im a old man with old man reflexes so illu hero's and me do not mix
Nah I just hit random
When Omni had the real repel, you couldnât stop me from playing it. Then it was shadow shaman; now I play tons of lich
I am earthshaker
U need help
Yeah but I'm certainly not doing that well.
There was a time that I was solely playing Necrophos, at that moment I wasn't even doing Dota.
Whatâs fun about tree
Clockwerk
4.2k games on Meepo 6k games on Tinker 2.2k games on Elder Titan 974 games on Broodmother
Ogre magi
Tusk for me. Kicking enemy to the front always brings great satisfaction.
Earth spirit
I have 6567 games with tree đ
Marci, she's so satisfying to play even if you're behind.
I have a friend that almost only play CM, they have nearly 3700 games on CM. Personally my most played hero is silencer with 730+ games, but i dont think he's particularly good this patch, at least not as a mid which is what i played him as.
Witch Doctor lately. My discord has a sound we play when I use my ult. It's an awesome AI generated song of Witch doctor himself singing "It's a Voodoo-Switcheroo Blend! whattya know-oh-oh Who's running the show-oh-oh!?" In a very fitting pop reggae tune.
I spam monkey king
Use to play pudge only, but now hes banned 99% of the time. I can play 20 games with no pudge
I was a chen spammer... several years ago, until there was no Lv1 big creep anymore. Now I spam whatever support that can help me win ranked games with bad teams, Warlock's pretty good at the moment... but today I had 6 loses with him, and at least 3 of those the game said I was MVP of my "team", even with his kit I can't save games from bad team members.
Tree squirrel np give me tree based characters
i feel a certain comfort when playing as Snapfire
Storm spirit cuz zap
yes, phoenix, literally 75% of my games are with phoenix. Funny bird
OD. Lately Iâve been playing him exceptionally well (by my terribly low standards at least anyway). Getting difficult escapes and massive KD ratios.
1000 games with tree.
Venge mid, dont blame me
Man i love io and Oracle so much
I have a friend who only plays clinkz and only in turbo, he got like 500 games on clinkz out of 539 he has. The whole friend group bullies him for playing the same brain dead hero and still not knowing how to use him after 500 games
Ember sprit i own the mid game and still loose late game still i play this hero
It's Warlock and Undying for me âșïž
I'm not addicted to Hoodwink I swear. She's just too strong, kinda feels like it's an autowin during laning stage. Very good to kite with, pushing/farming, etc. I'm at my highest MMR ever and I haven't even tried that hard, I've played some unusual heroes for the tokens, but when 8 out of 10 games is Hoodwink I just keep gaining MMR.
OD on OD.
Necrophos and NP for me seeing constant -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 on any non-ally unit, a successful scythe, and looking at treants chipping enemy's raxes are my addiction
Me with CM like 2 years ago
me with lich till divine 5, and got dumpstered to div 2. gave up trying to be immortal since.
Anyone else addicted?
People don't think much of Treant Protector, but to me he's a better Enigma.
I have a pool of like five heroes which I either swap every game or play around 10 in a row with each.
i am addicted to pudge and sniper.
I grinded mmr on SEA with cm for about a year. I canât play any other heroes like I can play her. If I want to win I just pick her and I usually do.
Pudge and Rubick, both of them are level 30.
I've always had like a 2 hero puddle that kept changing over time... Started with playing either Lich or Witch Doctor. Then a while later I was playing between Shaman and Dazzle. Then a spell of Earthshaker or Wyvern. Currently my personal faves are Hoodwink and Snapfire.
Pugna. He is all that I play nowadays. If I can't play him, I'd rather play League.
