thinking Secret won this game 2 draft, even tho BB is a quite low winrate hero nowadays. just not sure about the core gyro/DK picks

Total PA assdestruction. I played a lot of Gyro about a month about and that hero is in a terrible state. He is ok against PA if you can win the early game but if you dont once about 25 minutes hits she can murder him at her leisure. He heavily relies on BKB against most lineups in the midgame, and it is a totally dead item against her. The only way he can win a fight is to run in on her with a support and quickly burst her down. Don't think this is a good plan against an organized plan. Probably the first game I have ever wanted Secret to win. Cheer for PA >>>> cheer against Secret. Although I do like these guys more these days with Ace and Midone. Can Puppey kick himself?

PA mag combo just cannot be allowed to have space... I think Liquid thought they'd have the early game and could limit the map but the first blood on Chen changed that. Trying to beat Puppey with Chen is a pretty ballsy move.

Thinking the last pick there for Liquid would have been to run a core Axe on Miracle, I'm betting he's versatile enough to be able to do that. Vs 4 melees, hard counters PA with blademail and also counters BB by forcing him to be facing forward


Wow apparently Lion aghs with level 20 talent (300 ult dmg) gives 1325 magic dmg 325 aoe nuke on 20s cd loool (Merlini info)

i actually thought FATA was the weakest part of Team Secret but he's really really improved on the offlane position

Any of you guys do betting on these matches? If so, what sites are good/bad?
Ya I also thought it was the Sumail + RTZ combo was an issue, so i was surprised when PPD said it was him that Sumail wanted out.

Strength, Agility, and Intelligence attributes now give a unique perk to the hero if they are the respective hero type (in addition to the +1 damage).

PERKS
Strength gains +0.15% Status Resistance (Reduces the duration of effects like silence/stun/disarm/root/fear/etc. For DPS debuffs with slows, it instead just reduces the slow values to keep the damage amount unaffected)
Agility gains +0.06% Movement Speed
Intelligence gains +0.15% Magic Resistance
In the stat hover area, you can see the effect impact each of these perks has on a hero.
WAOW. Uhhh Intelligence heroes just got boned, worst deal of all time

Thoughts on LD changes: actually kind of nerfed by removing Spirit Bear +50 dmg talent FeelsBadMan. Lvl 25 left talent 0 entangle cd is pretty underwhelming imo, but battle cry spell immunity on the other hand is pretty amazing. Honestly this is a buff to one of my favorite builds: double midas

Valve has decided my rushing to 25 on Clinkz and winning otherwise unwinnable games by securing megas through backdoor protection is no longer an approved activity.

Also, Monkey King confirmed no longer a playable hero beyond 16 mins. (No health talent, no +damage talent, both of which were necessary to deal with otherwise poor scaling into lategame and stay ahead when you get ahead)

I look forward to playing lots of 3k mid Bane and Dazzle, though.

Projectiles only. You'll still eat plenty of disables in a teamfight.

Deso was nerfed, you lose out on 27 agility overall at level 25, and his ult got nerfed again, but 3 seconds of +260 attack speed is still pretty good.

He's strictly a pickoff/skirmish hero now.

I don't necessarily blame them. It was a really fun way to win games, but I'm sure it was SUPER tilting to the enemy to be so far ahead and then lose your entire base over 90 seconds to a Clinkz with Boots of Travel.
