Yeah I just havent bothered cuz I didn't wanna kick them out of a game

Tinker is my most hated hero. A bit triggered myself. I ban him every game. Wishing I told them not to play tinker now lol. I told them not to play arc warden or meepo cuz I get triggered when I play people who crush with those heroes

lmao, yeah i was wondering why no meepo. i swear meepo must be the most used boosting hero

I will miss the double downs after compendium is done not for my own gain since im only like 55% success rate, but seeing 4 -48's on the other team is so satisfying

I have lost 5/5 double downs.

damn just won a 33 point game, have they adjusted how much games can be spread... interesting


OK what about this next level lone druid build? So next level, it's previous level:

-Armlet bear

Can it still work? I feel like with Phase + MoM it could be a super strong early game combo, the armlet canceling out the -armor from MoM and MoM lifesteal canceling out the armlet hp drain.

I dont think the STR gives the bear extra damage and his max HP won't increase a lot relatively considering how high it already is, so it's probably not as good as it would be on a strength hero. Still sounds fun though, gl toggling while microing perfectly.

lol, but how many -50's have you caused

I think MoM on bear could be decent, allows you to blast down towers or proc entangling more dependably/quickly on isolated opponents. Armlet seems like it would delay important items too much so I don't really like it. You can get good armor from other items.

Meh I am treating international rank as a **** around so it doesn't bother me actually.

Loll one of the few games my booster lost was the only one he doubled down in

Oh yea MoM on bear is super good. Has been since they reworked the item. Phase + MoM is just tons of DPS early and also just about inescapable depending on the hero.

I did try Armlet yesterday in a game where I didn't really care (everyone raging, saying gg etc). It actually seems OK... the HP drain is not that bad at all and it provides a lot of armor. Definitely sucks to miss out on the STR gain tho. If the main goal is armor tho, Medallion/Solar Crest is a much better idea... think it can only be good in a game where one is snowballing and just wants to end the game by sieging down the base with armor and damage.

The booster played Meepo twice (by accident I guess according to the guy I played... lol w/e)

Anyone want to battlecup? probably like t3 usa east english

What is the boosters MMR?

"6k+"

says it's the off season - i assume that means there isn't battlecup?

It's amazing his win rate is so low 3k points below.

Because sometimes a 3k team is just too goddamned heavy.

I just played a game around that level as Clinkz. I was responsible for 25k+ damage to buildings. Collectively, the rest of my team was under 600.

They didn't do anything even remotely useful. They pretty much existed as a 3k hp meatshield to feed the enemy team while I killed buildings.

Look at this ridiculous level graph (yellow, obv):



The enemy defended megas for almost 20 minutes. I was powerless to do anything else at that point. Just had to wait it out.


Game before that I took MK mid. 8-0 by level 7, but that hero just cannot solo carry a game. Enemy Sniper shat all over our passive offlane WR. Enemy Necro won 1v2 against AA/Sven. I died a couple times defending our T1s while team jungled, and eventually we just lost. 3k is hard. I did some real throwy stuff though in that MK game. I should've probably just followed my team around instead of doing actual Dota things that only wound up getting me killed.

Incorrect. Try solo carrying games in 3-4K.

-40 gold for joesh

Overall record: 39-12 (76%)
Double down record: 3-2 (60%)

Current MMR: 4010

MMR gain: 635 of 1425 (45%)

nothing like a couple losses then a quick double down win, WOO

Ok but imagine a guy who's 6k+ only winning 70% at 3.4k MMR, then what a 4k would therefore win at and imagine the number of games it would take to equalise at 4k. It's crazy.

Fear back to EG in the captain/drafter 5 position role. Verry interesting! I feel like he will deliver solid drafts on a consistent basis, similar to a Misery type captain

Reso to OG replacing Ana. Was super impressed with Reso at TI6 so this could be what OG needs to win TI next yr... very stacked team now, though I did think Ana was quite good maybe just a little limited in dominant hero pool
