    Now EG gets murked by Vega with the lich. I really think they need to up the cooldown on e at least for the early levels. Picking lich basically ensures that one of the other team's cores starts in a deep hole.

    Think they probably need to change Mirana's aghs so that it only passively procs on heroes or something too. Having one 4.2k item give huge teamfight and such a farm boost is just too much.

    Scholars will look back and marvel at how it was possible for one man to be so insanely shitty with a single hero.

    Seriously, I don't know how I can be so fucking bad with TA but I literally can't do anything but die over and over, even if I have levels advantage.

    Also fuck new blade mail.

    It's always easy to pick out that poor, poor carry that got the lich lane in the box scores, lol

    Woof.

    Guessing you feel squishy, hence the consistent drums build. Great item, but WD needs escape from physical, magic resistance, and protection to channel ward. Glimmer cape is such a great fit, and you can even cast it on teammates.

    Try arcanes, glimmer, aether (disassemble arcanes) and then aghs.

    Some of the heroes I enjoy the most are heroes on which I carry a terrible win rate.

    Timbersaw and Bounty Hunter are case-in-point.

    I have the most fun playing solo offlane, but everyone in my MMR runs 2-1-2. Actually very few junglers. Exception: this week I had a cliff jungling NP which is like the least efficient form of jungling possible.

    Gonna practice timber a little i think because he's fun af even though Im trash on him.

    On WD I actually don't upgrade boots at all unless my team kinda needs arcanes.

    Timber is strong now. 12 charge bloodstone and the crazy reactive armor buff. I watched waga stack platemail on him right after bloodstone, and he would just walk through all 5 enemies and let them wail on him. Eventually he got to half health.

    I played him mostly when I was still pretty terrible and before aether and glimmer were added.

    Drums for me was just a noob item. Gave me stats and more speed to make up for having terrible positioning/making poor decisions. I feel like I know how to better utilize it now.

    I'd seen people play him, but just never paid attention to item builds.

    I need to play around with BH, there are great opportunities for him with the newly introduced items.

    Movement speed and negative armor items that actually build into cool shit?! So deluxe.

    Oracle is by far my best hero and there's nothing even close. 100% win rate (4 games).

    You can have a big impact the entire game. Massive nukes and heals, the Ult keeps dying carries alive longer, W locks down enemies attacking, W-E-E massive heals, E-E-Q massive nuke even end game, Q nice disable/debuff.

    So fucking good.

    Also needs 0 items to function. Mek + ult obv amazing, but you can just spam wards and dust and not worry. A ether is amazing but his cast ranges are already insane, so not required.

    I missed it in the new patch until now, but the new Euls movement speed bonus seems pretty big, no? For squishy heroes like Lina 40 extra movement speed seems real beneficial

    Eg fighting through losers bracket to get guaranteed top3 at this lan. So far bulba legit offlane replacement, aui has been garbage at carry compared to RTZ. Sumail and fear just dominating.

    I'm done playing ranked solo. The most toxic little shits play that mode. We're all 1.6K +/- and they act like we're playing TI6. OMFG cannot handle the tilting after 10 minutes.

    So can anyone help me with this? I activated my profile on dotabuff, and exposed my match data on the client, saved it, waited for multiple days for them to confirm- and it still says my data is not exposed. I've done this multiple times and nothing. Anyone know what could be going on?

    I have a full hour for lunch, so I've been watching pro/semipro games for qualifiers pretty regularly.

    Dota 2 really needs a fight replay system. Half the game is farming, they need to do a better job at showing fight replays in slow-mo after the fight is done while everyone is retreating to farm. Or queue it up to show later when there is down time. Would greatly improve viewing experience
