kag is so nice it makes me angry
I would rather play with a rager than someone who leaves the match midway through for a shitty reason
Can confirm, attemped meeru insults were always hilarious

Well sure if your am actively avoids teamfights that would result in getting a double kill. At that point it's like am isn't even playing in your game though.
lol, joke post? :/
I didn't watch the game, but Battlefury?
Ye, the stout shield is pretty damn good, but do you know if he got it early or did he wait until he had the ring of healing to buy it?
Would be kinda weird to buy it that late...
I'm kinda scared by the risk of them adding the new items, will be kinda hard to adapt
He bought it early. Must've built the ring into a Perseverance, on the way to the Battle Fury.
Ok, then it was probably for laning, in my opinion it's nearly a must on both am and fv.
and I know that he bought the void stone as the last item to complete bfury.

He's cool when he's not too busy being hypercritical , hence why we stopped playing together after IHL2.
Stout shield is such a good item that it's basically OP. It makes a melee carry un-harassable with auto attacks in the lane.
I'm also curious if this update will include the 6.73 changes. I just read over them, and they seem pretty cool.

Hey just because I'm open to the possibility of shutting AM down rather than rolling over like a submissive puppy doesn't mean I'm joking.
...
I'm calling Spirit Breaker or Syllabear in today's update. 'Cause I can.
I'd say most pricks think they're good players.
Really? Archie rages all the time :lol
Kag only gets mad when you question his item build ... for 40 minutes.
So what is the trick to playing AM besides "roll face on keyboard lolz". Because I've been trying to play him since I've heard everyone here complaining about him, and I suck with him. Every match I just get out zoned and out farmed early on. It takes me ~20 min just to get a vanguard. I'm decent with other carries like Bloodseeker, Bounty, Sniper, but with AM I just can't find the groove with him.
Your like turning into Archie here, Spirit Breaker or Bane, calling it now.
Archie will fly that Avatar high for another week.
Uh, most, if not all good players are pricks. Sorry, but it's true.
I never said that wasn't true.
How difficult is Ursa to play? I watched one guy (enemy team) slaughter everyone on my team and then some. We literally had to hope to find him alone and only killed him twice :lol
The team was bad though. We were all over the place and I was soloing top the whole match.
Edit: I should note that I was playing Lich

He's not a very complex hero, but he does have one glaring weakness, which is his kiteability. Since all his damage comes from not just auto attacks, but auto attacks on a single hero, you're very reliant on your teammates to lock people down (until you get blink dagger).How difficult is Ursa to play?

His Q does not really help with this at all, since the cast animation is so long people move out of melee range before you even stomp.
That's the point of getting a blink dagger

I play Ursa and do well with him. I don't know if it's the best route but I build a vlads early, then phase boots to help with chasing. After that I go vanguard and heart. Also make sure you are doing Roshan often, because he can solo him fairly early.
Earthshock is definitely useless without a Blink Dagger, and you can be easily chain stunned and focused without one as well. I'd go with Purge's advice on building him: Don't grab an early Vlad's Offering (weakens your laning and teamfight contributions early), get a Blink Dagger, don't try to steal an early Rosh. Not only is it risky, you'd cut so many corners to get there that any team that's paying attention will make you pay for it (and you may give up Roshan in turn).

All the more reason to get him out NOW.
...
Also, yessss, sweet come back from what seemed like a guaranteed loss. I was ready to give up but I didn't 'cause I ain't no bitch, yo.
They had all of our outer towers down at like 17 minutes, it was AWFUL, but thanks to sweet antipush action from me (Venomancer) and Sand King, we held them back. Pretty much every team fight, I'd get as many wards down as possible, toss a Q or two, and then sacrifice myself with an ultimate so even though we lost a good deal teamfights, they were too damaged to keep pushing. SO GOOD.
Broodmother was a fucking problem, had an orchid in no time at all. Our mistake was sending sniper solo against her. Tsk tsk. FOR SHAME, US.
But our carries - Sniper, Bounty Hunter, Naix - were better than theirs and thanks to our antipush they farmed up more than enough so that we ended up winning.
You had a Sand King on your team and you sent Sniper in his stead? WHAT. Sandstorm and Caustic Finale, they're spider killers! All I'm guessing Sniper accomplished was poking Broodmother now and again when she emerged to last hit, with the occasional (and easily avoided) Shrapnel?

I agree, but I'm not the one who made that decision. U:

This isn't true, AT ALL. Every single one of the top players i've played with/against have been completely pleasant.
There won't be an update today as we're still gearing back up after the holidays.
Here are some highlights of next week's update for you too look forward to:
- Parity with the latest Dota update. This includes Stable/Current version switching, so tournaments will be able to run older versions of the game until they are ready to make the switch.
- Two Heroes will be making their return. One gets a real charge out of bashing heads. The other always has to get in the last word.
- 64 Spectators limit removed. An unlimited number of spectators can watch any live game.

Fuck yes at Dota 1 parity and unlimited spectators!
Maybe cause you know what your doing.
A noob like me gets in, asks one question and the cussing begins.
I still want to play this game but after 5 matches I am too intimidated to go back in.
play with gaffers, i'm more than willing to help out new players when they ask, and i'm happy to guide them as well
Easy bracket?
