    Ability Draft is the best mode unless you fuck up your draft, then you spend 40 minutes hating yourself at how shitty your build is and rush Dagon 5 eblade for memes

    This was an interesting game last night:

    https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/4128663638

    My sniper went Midas/Blink and I wanted him to fail so badly but he did not. Probably because he had drow aura but still I wanted to report him so much. He was super nice, but I REEEEEEEEE’d at his build.

    And yes that was a pos4 viper

    Not mid, but you can play it as a carry, or at least the pros are, but still played most as a 4 I think. If I can, I try to play it as a 3 because early Aquila and treads/Phase is super powerful and if you get a good diffusal timing you basically control the entire mid game single handedly since most heroes are too scared to solo split push waves.

    https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/4134208757

    But here was a game the enemy team had a carry Riki who fucking dominated for the first 30 minutes until he started throwing getting overly aggressive.

    https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/4134035138

    Riki carry just absolutely cannot take towers at all so ending is hard.

    So in other “you learn something new about dota every game” news, I’ve been building tranqs on Centaur forever. Back when they were built with the +2 armor ring and gave regen it was better, now the build is absolutely treads. More stats/earlier tankiness, thread switching for INT for stomp, and what actually is the biggest reasons is added attack speed. Apparently high level players have been grabbing the +75 damage talent forever and the added atk speed from treads is huge since centaur doesn’t really buy any other atk speed items. Went to look it up and it’s almoat 3% higher win rate much less built. Crazy. Plus you don’t have to worry about getting courier ever and cent never gets courier ever.

    Anyways played it and loved it. You get so much regen anyways with a hood and/or vanguard each giving +6 that the tranqs regen doesn’t matter as much.

    Pretty much picking centaur any time I see sniper on the other team now. Basically can't ever hit you once you have a strength item or 2 and always have a reliable way to get on top of him.

    Yesterday I had a nightmare Riki game, got shackle/spin combo literally 3 times in lane which is instant death for a Riki, got behind in levels and farm, but still ended up dominating late game just by getting Aghs after Aquila treads diffusal basher. Needed 0 other items and controlled 30-45 minutes. Activate Aghs on Bloodseeker and doesn’t matter if we got black holed/SS wards, we still win the team fight

    i watched my first LoL game yesterday. Cloud 9 vs. KBM... seems like there's a dedicated jungler in every game and there's no denying creeps so you just idle in lane and last hit.

    I have no idea what spells do or what items do. But first blood was at 12 minutes. I think the second kill was at 15 minutes. Once you "win" the lane, I don't understand how you lose.

    Nailed it.

    Games frequently end with final kill total 5-3. Almost always combined under 20 kills in 30-40minute games. Incredibly boring compared to pro dota, bias aside.

    also, they called it a "gank" when the jungler would move to a lane, throw some spells at someone, and they'd be hurt and not be able to last hit for like 1-2 waves as they'd go heal. does LoL not have smoke ganks?

    No, when League players come to dota they all say how broken our wards and smokes are. Area of ward vision is much much smaller due to all heroes have built in “flash” aka blinks... albeit on longer CDs.

    Also unlimited “returns” to base, then walk to lane. No TP to towers. That’s why early group/team fights/pushing is non-existent. Takes so much time and resources to do it, net gain is terrible. It’s why their lane dynamics and early game are so boring
