He's good mechanically, but somehow he ends up muscling his way into a decision making role, and the team ends up getting fucked.
Carry is the last mechanically demanding position. A carry needs to do only 2 things. 1. farm and 2. make good decisions late in the game. envy has an extensive history of backbreaking errors late in games. also >envy drafts lmao
blink or lens on Ogre? I see pros going lens, but I'm gay and awkward, so I feel like the blink would be better for my escapability and catch.
Lens. High base move speed/blood lust and already long spell range made even longer is enough catch. He really suffers from long cooldowns, so aether and aghs help him a lot there.
I fucking hate playing as TideHunter. Once I win a game for all-hero challenge I'm never picking him again.

Got rid of aghs build for second game. Problem is pub life in trash tier. We are all waiting for team fight to start, 5v5 we are high ground defense. I get off ravage and hit all 5, teammates stand there with dick in hand, then I die 5v1. Every fucking time.
Halfway to being a good team, but a mediocre 1 position can look good with a great team around him. i.e XBOCT
Hope Aui has a competitive team again soon. Such a raw deal for him, even if it was probably the right move by EG.
lmao i tried to play ranked my team firstpicked techies got an invoker who rushed QW and lost mid to fucking zeus our naga said she was carry then refused to buy radiance. kill me.
Going back and rewatching old games is rough- even in ones you thought you did well in. So many times I see so obviously where I fucked up and could have wand charged for a stun and escape or I cast on the wrong enemy, etc. Good way to learn though, I think.
Finally won as TH. 20% win rate lyfe. Played cautious as fuck, blinking the fuck out of team fights the second ravage and Q were gone unless we could secure easy kills. http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/2128650426 On to Puck. Fucking lol.
happened earlier today. they had a huge lead and failed a highground push at 20 minutes. we won at 45
God, Morphling is just insanity once farmed. Arteezy just had just had the worst start I've ever seen from him on EG, (didn't get his first CS until like 3-4 minutes in, and was roaming at level 3) but then he clawed back to the top of the chart and just completely raped everyone. Even an LC with like 250 duel damage couldn't hang.
Ogre Chain stunned 100 to 0. With Phoenix egg and static field zoning the rest of his team. Lol ever heard of BKB? Srs.
The first thing I thought after that game was "If that Ursa ever got a BKB that game would have been over 20 minutes earlier."
I feel like every single time you guys send me a party invite I'm on my way to bed. #oldmanproblems. Ok, question, should I intentionally tank my rank qualifying matches so I can have a 3 digit MMR and lower our collective MMR for party matches? I think based on what I've been playing with, I'm about the skill level of the 1.5-2.0K guys. I get absolutely worked against anyone with a 3K MMR.
I think most of us watch them on twitch/in game. I watched some of the last TI when it was on ESPN 3 tho
