[Balehead]

I was expecting a good game and this wasn't even competitive. N9 pubstomping, basically.

 

[CreativeSK]

damn they just got their ass handed to them

 

[HK-47]

Thats what happens when you dont ban Dazzle

lol...

 

[Artanisix]

Is the game already over? I see Tobi playing Warlock right now.

EDIT: Oh damn.

nature's prophet and nightstalker? oh god why would you do that

 

[Spookie]

Can't wait to watch that later. Wasn't PPY only saying days ago that no team can touch them?

There is absolutely nothing to learn from this game beyond the picking phase

:lol :lol :lol

I think it's actually quite painful to see professional teams play this bad.
On the hand n9 is very good, could already see that they were way better than most teams the first game they played in the defense, I would probably place them in the top 5

He asks for suggestions on the next portrait on the dota 2 subreddit.

So turns out. Leshrac and Zeus, both with arcane boots, will destroy a lane if the mid is too busy pushing to gank.

 

[Artanisix]

Playing with swag and hyuna feels good, haven't done that in a while. Shoutouts to whoever Xanthe is, and kneepat ofc.

 

[Swag]

That build actually works surprisingly well, we couldn't keep the game going long enough to get to 5 though.

Thought Xanthe was one of your friends LOL

 

[Sanjay]

What a boss pub.

 

[Artanisix]

Xanthe is a gaffer, or at least he hangs out in the channel.

Hyuna and I with the PERMA-ROAM both games. The best way to play yo.

You would love to play with kags brothers then, making roaming Ursa work.

yo dawg that SK king of manliness. He has three rapiers; one for each hand and the third for the hand of midas. Your shit didn't mean shit.

No armlet. Not baller enough.

 

[Drkirby]

Pth, you aren't baller unless you have a Refresher Orb.

 

[Artanisix]

I must express my distaste for armlet. The only heroes I like to get armlet on are Skeleton King and Huskar, and that's it. Every other strength hero has something better they can use.

 

[Lirlond]

Massive balls required to play leshrac like this.

That's...pretty standard for him? I don't know about the drums, but still.

Glad to see people are seeing the power of Drums.

I'm fond of Armlet on Slardar. It gives him:

1) Huge damage to compliment his ult
2) Much needed AS to proc his stuns and for animation canceling.
3) HP regen to stay in the lane
4) A chunk of HP when he really needs it, since he's always at the forefront of the fight
5) Big plays/troll potential

I agree not every STR hero benefits from it though.

 

[Swag]

I tried them once in a CM game I was stomping, worked out really well actually. I don't think I would make them on the regular, but I can definitely see the benefit. My only gripe with them is the recharge cost, and the number of charges you get per recharge. Expensive item.

 

[Lirlond]

Drum was "I have loads of money and no space", but still, hitting R, W running into the enemy, right good fun. I died towards the end and respawned in 3 seconds!!

Yeah that's basically how he ends up towards the end as a semi-carry; he essentially turns into a DPS spam machine once you get the mana pool up and (ideally) some kind of good protection.

I should try a shadow blade build with him just for shits and giggles.

Yep, yep, yep, you got it!

There are two ways to play slardar; with armlet or not at all!

Spoiler

wait no, actually, it's as carry going armlet or bkb, or as initiator going blink

 

[Drkirby]

Glad to see people are seeing the power of Drums.

Oh, imagine if it didn't have the 4 charge limit, or you could get more charges like Urn, it would go from great to the best.

Naix demands Armlet and Basher

 

[Artanisix]

Naix demands Armlet and Basher

nonononono

You will never see me get Armlet on N'aix. Ever. Hate hate hate that item on him.

 

[Kapura]

armlet on naix is garbs, yo. His lifesteal can hardly keep up. You basically need vlads to make armlet work.

 

[Lirlond]

Just had a 100 minute game. We were winning teamfights. But furion was rich, and we couldn't push back before he bought back and ulted, or didn't participate in the fight and constantly ulted, so while we pushed one lane, the other two would be pressed against the towers, this continued until we had mega creeps in the base. We held those of for 20 minutes before they broke through. Awful, awful game.

 

[RukusProvider]

ouch! what happened to the invincible Na'vi? More people getting comfortable with the Dota2 metagame? Missing ArtStyle?

 

[kazabi]

A naix without armlet? :|
Armlet is really easy to make and is very cheap for how much damage it gives you. If you get an early armlet on naix, you do sooo much damage

Level 1 Roshan or bust! (They did do that, right?)

You're way too hard on yourself. From what little I saw of you I saw last night you were doing ok.

This isn't how dota 2 works. Everyone is trash.
