You're missing out on playing Pudge. I didn't play him fore 5k hours myself, but so fun once I finally did.

I mean I like PA, but he farms pretty poorly and needs Deso AND BKB to really do much against Invoker. I'm sure my winrate against Invoker is fine, but that hero is so effing annoying to play against.

BTW i already got LP on Smurf #1 so i've migrated to smurf #2. Friend ID 103255196. I think I have a smurf #3 somewhere but I'm not sure i remember the login. gonna play main acct when booster isnt on to try to farm a few more battle pass levels. Level 737 but no ultra rares yet. GabeN

booster plays with camera speed 8000 and hotkeys 123456, WAT

Also everything is on quickcast afaik.

didnt know all my hotkeys would get ****ed. i thought those were PC specific

quickcast master race (& alt-qwer for regular spell for self-cast or aoe indicator if needed)

I love playing pudge, not a good hero but super fun

also indirectly hurt by the scan mechanic which I think was an awful addition to the game

I agree I don't like scan either. I think it should have a longer cooldown at least.

I should clarify that the key to ****ting on an Invoker with PA is to lane against him mid.

Safelane PA vs mid Invoker isn't nearly as effective. It is very specifically the 1v1 matchup that makes Invoker so sad against a PA. You want the quick 6, and if he's constantly sitting with 3 Quas orbs for health regen, his last hitting isn't as effortless.

Meepo was a "mid or feed" player, and based on the early lane control and aggression, I assume it wasn't a real 3k Meepo.

I died early to a hasted Pudge while diving Meepo and Mirana berates me.

I tell him to stfu with his results-oriented bull**** and then proceeded to steamroll some kids.

I did 1500+ hero damage per minute. Not a typical MK game by any stretch, but good times were had by Radiant.

Won too many games and was on the receiving end of a stomp like the one above. My team was squabbling from the very start with 4 people showing mid. I first-picked PA to counter their first pick Invoker, and the rest of my team also picks melee. We're begging the last dude to pick ANY range stun, he opts isntead for a last pick Bounty Hunter (Clock/PA/Tree/AM). That BH then literally sits middle without doing anything, leading to Invoker getting a level advantage because I'm splitting experience. Our Anti Mage has 3/4 of a Battlefury and no boots at 24 mins.

Treant is spamming Russian chatwheels the entire game.

Get what you give, I suppose. #3kdoto

If it's any consolation, that problem is not restricted to 3K. I've been 4-5K for the past year or so, and games are terrible since ~ start of TI. Doubt they get much better much higher judging by what I've seen on twitch.

Damn new booster putting in work. Kinda surprised to see Void spammed as a boosting hero

Yeah not only that but he is winning the games much more quickly (shorter duration). Almost all of his wins are under 35 minutes.

Is he going mid?

Of the two games I checked, one featured an SF and one an Invoker. so it looks like he has been going safelane.

Watching MidOne stream: Dunno why I never thought of this but damn Pugna with veil + decrepify is an insane amount of damage

What's the booster up to Josh? Watched a void replay. Safe lane. PMS-Treads-Aquila-MoM-Casual Yasha-SB. Interesting.

Don't know if anyone else is watching any FPL games, but I watched a long one last night on Blitz's stream. Pretty cool. Was like Moonmeander, Blitz, Mason, Monkeys v Bulba, Demon, and some others.

FPL is awesome. much better than anyone streaming solo ranked

Watched one FPL game last night with a Demon/CCnC/Korok team against RTZ/Bulba/MSS. Was pretty funny switching between the streams and hearing the team speak. Demons team was taking it seriously and making rotation calls and discussing item timings while RTZ was just talking **** and making fun of Bulba the whole time, even fed a couple kills on purpose, and still ended up winning easily.

It's really depressing watching FPL then playing three straight pubs with account buyers, feeders and griefers.

Summary of 4 of the 5 games I've played so far tonight. All in 4.5-4.6

Sven safelane. My lane support disruptor doesn't use his nuke to zone the offlaner, nor does he ever actually pull. Turns out he's a 1.7K who bought a 4.5K account yesterday and is 2-10 on the account so far. We take rosh and my mid Jakiro decides to steal Aegis from myself, a very farmed Sven. Whatever. We win.

CK safelane. My Riki literally does nothing the entire game beside sap XP safelane. Literally doesn't use a skill for the entire 16 minute game. Just sits there. Doesn't even right click. 16 minute loss.

Void offlane. Our fifth pick picks a second jungler (bloodseeker) when we have a 4 pos Veno. Enemy team is terrible. We somehow win.

Safelane CK. Forced to third pick carry because mid and 4 pos won't pick. They counter with ES. Our last pick Nighstalker decides he's going to start pushing my wave and last hitting every creep for literally no reason. I retreat to the jungle and get farm when I can. My mid is 3-9 or something, abandons, entire team abandons. Loss.

Just another day in 4-5K. It never ends.
