Maybe Anti-Mage, new lvl 25 talent gives him 20s CD on Mana Void... will be interesting to see how strong that turns out to be. And he gets shorter blink CD at 15 now.

WR, BH got good stuff too. A lot of heroes got buffed... maybe even Bristleback


Wow I just realized this is a really lame way to fix the map, ugh: The following abilities cause neutrals to temporarily not draw aggro: Meat Hook, Telekinesis and Toss

Seems to be taking the creativity of how to use abilities out of the game. Think making Telekinesis unable to be used on Ancients is better since I don't think Meat Hook and Toss affected Ancients.

Most buffs are to the less popular talents, so there could be some big things hidden in there - like how Ember and Lone druid were suddenly OP with alternative playstyles.

Apart from talents it's mostly nerfs afaik.

MidOne new 9K player, stuck on t2 team tho BibleThump

Trade MidOne to OG for Ana, the dream

Tried this game. The tutorial 1 and 2 work with an ordinary laptop with low settings (in every way).

The result: I died too many times trying to pass the 2nd; there is a man
with a sword that dies about any time it tries to escape when the health starts to suffer significantly, and it can't face anyone really, just losing like a weak man.

My decision: no more Dota 2. As too non-intuitive/non-reality like. Having played 100s of games, and some non-intuitive ones, I rate this the worst game I have ever played.

Will next take a look into some more esports (already have passed some tutorials and played similar games) and putting more weight on action games over strategy games, though the gun games (that are great 3D games) make me to vomit, but there are some other action games, and more intuitive strategy/action games.

A+

Lolwut

It's not the worst game you have ever played because you haven't played the game.

Yep dota = multiplayer, not tutorial game

it was a pretty obvious troll post

NP vs FC finals DAC NA qualifiers in 5 minutes.

Whoops


DAC AM finals, NP looked pretty convincing game 1. Maybe DC just needs to warm up. NP was ready for the lone druid pick, with beefy Medusa/Ursa line-up.

Crazy that NP loses twice in group/upper bracket to DC then wins in finals like that.

The silencer pick didn't work out very well for dc but it was a pretty cool matchup regardless, think the voker druid late game combo is really hard to beat

Techies lvl 4 land mine does 750 magic damage lol WTF. Had no idea it was that high. It's better than a lvl 2 Lina ult (650)............

I guess the techies counter is fast move speed or fast attack speed to destroy the mine in time? Land mine seems like his best spell now... blast off is pretty OP too with silence

Helm of Dom is a sort of counter too, right?

O yea definitely, helm of dom or a hero with creeps works well too. Though the mines do so much damage there's a limit to how many can be cleared with one creep

Pretty sure US west is the worst server... soooo many bad games there, I have no idea what it is.

is it because you have a jungler in all of your games

Keepo

Jebaited

but seriously tho jungling is not that bad, even great in the right situation. problem is people just give up when they see that pick, happens more on toxic servers and less on tryhard servers

It's always a pleasant surprise when your jungler halfway knows what he's doing.

anyone doing battle cup tonigth? add me 48407588

im tier 4 if anyone wants, can play all roles pretty well except #1

so it seems 2p2'ers are more susceptible to LP heh heh heh heh


starladder LAN going down. fun to see Secret again on a big stage, i learned so much watching MidOne stream a couple weeks ago

OG dismantling Secret now, it was close but OG is just too good. Now that s4 is acclimated to offlane, the team looks scary. Ana is also really good at being a comeback player.

Don't like MP on the carry role at all, he seems pretty lackluster not nearly as good as I remember him on MVP.

OG were a class above TNC and Secret. They're not the best team in the laning stage but from mid-game onwards they are immense. Since the major I still haven't seen anyone other than EG be even close to them in that area of the game, although admittedly I haven't seen Liquid play for a while.
