Well yeah, half the hero poop can take a three stack at 16min... Edit - hero pool, I'm leaving it though because "poop" makes me laugh
Have a team with a bounty hunter and jungle NP Bounty hunter selects solo offlane Suggest bounty hunter should go safelane with PA "Why? I want farm too" "Bounty hunter isn't an offlaner or a carry." "You are mistaken" -25 mmr
Also terrorblade is such a bastard to deal with sub 2k Just had a push strat run a train on us and we just had no way to deal with sunder. Wish I knew how to play him.
Had an actual support player in my safelane helping me. Had HotD and PTs by 9 minutes. Stacked ancients multiple times 3-4 stacks. 700 gpm. Went blink and bkb. Had no damage outside ult, went 1-3-24. we won in 38 minutes tho so it was gud
I don't remember if you use a mic, but it can be as simple as announcing to your team what you're doing. You're communicating that you're going to have a very predictable power spike when that ancient stack drops and you get your blink or BKB. Also, you get a whole lot of damage from BKB.
Same for talking with your support, "I'm maxing cleave and working on a large ancient stack... thanks for the lane support and harass, if you can stack the pull camp and deny a wave, we can probably get a kill then I'll take my stack and you can get solo lane XP and farm."
I will say the blink bkb before damage item build is way smarter and better at survival and team fights, but going pt > morbid mask> echo > Daed and be 3-4 levels above their non carry and 2-3 shotting players at about 25-35 minutes is next to Space Cow and Blink Axe Call tiers of fun. Really stupid build causing lots of deaths but still fun
Download StarCraft 2. Get good enough to beat Very Hard bots without cheese strats. Congrats, your micro is now good enough to play any micro hero in DotA.
Aui kicked from Secret as coach. Interested to see where he ends up as I don't think he's a tier 1 player like most. Raven left TNC, interesting. Wondering where he ends up too, he was their best player in that TI run. Wasn't mentioned, but the new roster lock rules are pretty good. Makes it better for the team so they aren't left holding their dick.
New system makes more sense. Also, PA is such a shit hero if your opponents know what they are doing. As Sven, it's "buy bkb, 3 shot PA". Only way hero is worth a shit is if they snowball before you can get items.
What's the plan for battlecup? Is there a plan for battlecup? lastcup friedskillet RonBurgundy miles bricktop @anyone else that's playing currently
Out of town. I do have my new laptop, keyboard and death adder but i have to do networking. Bricktop can use jim nantz or lastcup account.
Just played an unranked game on my smurf against 2 opponents not in parties who were 2.7k and 3.0K solo MMR per their profiles. Interesting...
Reshuffle rumblings: -Sumail says on twitch that all he can say is that he is going to stick with EG. -Zai says on twitch that all he can say is that he's going to be playing with "his boy, sumail." So, seems safe to say that if any changes are made with EG it won't be them, but at the same time- if no changes were going to be made at all I don't know why they wouldn't just come out and say it like Alliance did. Occam's razor prediction would be fear retiring and they're trying to replace him :(
Far from gospel, but yasp has my smurf through 33 games at 3.4K mmr. Last 3 games I've played, someone has the MMR in their profile and its been 2.9-3.0K. https://yasp.co/players/361600006 That will change though, I'm getting fucking dominated in my last couple of games.
I need to just ignore everything for a couple weeks and wait for it all to shake out, but that's hard to do. There was a bunch of speculation that ppd was going to be forced out, but he just made a vlog today that said he (and fear) are going to be doing some sponsorship related events in the coming weeks so that seems to be bunk. Now there's some saying that universe and not fear is the one thinking about retiring. So many random rumors it's basically pointless to speculate on any of it.
I'm not sure exactly how the prediction on yasp works but it seems to say that at a predicted mmr of 3.3k it has a 95% confidence interval of +- 2138. wat
I dreamt that ppd joined some Asian team, sumail joined liquid, and eg p much disbanded I need to stop playing Dota
Miracle seems like a certainty to liquid. Fuckin hell, that team if he does. Cr1t and jerax may just flip spots. Moon said EG's roster is set. Seems either no changes are made or EG.rtz take 3. (Specifically said universe and zai locked in when referencing offlaners in the western scene- and can't see sumail or ppd leaving) Moon also said rtz is going to be able to stream on twitch again so it seems it's either EG or OG for him. Not sure where else he'd go.
Crazy that they have one bad result after being so consistent and just disband. Can't wait to see where those guys land. Should be interesting. Hope Moon gets a good team, one of the more entertaining personalities in dota. EE, Moon, RTZ, cr1t, pos 5? New team? They're all friends.
they need to reduce the dmg/hp of the illusions big time you can rat down so hard w/ drow SD illusions and not have to worry about feeding kills
Apparently the league of legends pro scene is a complete shit show right now. It's kind of hilarious and sad to read. -The casters of LoL are pissed off because the casters for TI5/6 made as much money for that alone as they make in 6 months despite league getting more viewership -Players are pissed off because riot is tone deaf with their patches and drop them right before huge tournaments that have complete game changing mechanics -Players are also pissed off because they can't have sponsorships (They can't even have subscribers on twitch) and the "stipend" they are paid by riot hasn't increased since 2013 despite huge growth in the game -Owners are pissed off because riot basically doesn't allow them to make money off the teams they own whatsoever. Riot sells skins with the players and teams' likeness and they get paid exactly zero dollars and zero cents in royalties for it. They can't make money from ads on their own youtube channels either. Fucking no wonder there's no money to be made there. The head of riot just made a post on reddit about the current state of affairs and is choking on his foot getting shit on by everyone
