Uncrated an Ethereal Speed Demon courier today. Is there a sweet table somewhere that approximates value of items? Or is the item system too new for that yet

I sent you a PM asking for a screenshot of the courier ingame.

The first Ethereal Speed Demon that showed up in the market went for 45 keys. I haven't seen that many floating around since then so price is nowhere near stable, but it'll most likely end up at around 40, considering Courier tier and Effect tier.

I'm not sure what color is yours, but I'd take a Pink/Light Blue Ethereal Demon for sure.
 
What's a good counter for Naga?
Earthshaker, Invoker. Any kind of huge damage AoE because all her late game scaling comes from illusions.

Naga isn't really a hero you counter but a hero you pick to counter others.
 
How did I do? I've been playing for about a month now. I'm the Lina.

Yes its much better to have the fight start 4v5 and THEN get Ravaged.
Where exactly are you picturing this odd man out, on the other side of the map? There's room to dance within the Song without eating an Ensnare, and depending on the hero involved (say it's your blink initiator, or some other utility hero who might be found out during the Song duration and focused as soon as it ends), avoiding the sleep effect might turn out to be quite valuable.

But sue me for thinking about measures that aren't the entire team just standing there uselessly and taking it. Clearly this warrants your naked sarcasm.

If Naga was ever put in a position against an omni with repel being a nuisance she would just purge it anyways. I don't think omni is the right choice to counter her ultimate.
As Milk said, it's moot if she gets within Ensnare range anyway. There's really no point wasting Purge charges on a Repelled target (barring Ensnare being on cooldown).
 
Well it seems that MANGLE IT MATT and ROCK IT RICHIE were not pulling their weight...

Yeah Brewmaster and Sniper tried going up top while me (Lina) and Crystal Maiden were farming. Brew came in a little too close and got stunned to all hell. He fed us for like the first 10 mins of the game.
 
That's definitely worth a lot. How much, I don't know, but the color is distinctive and stands out inside the game making it worth quite a bit. Being on a newer/rarer courier only helps.
 
Why is it when one team is winning and is about go to for the ancient, they suddenly decide to go into the enemies fountain and try and kill them there instead of winning the game?

It's hilarious to fountain dive man.

That'll learn 'em not to queue up against you and yer teammates!
 
Anyone want to trade for the tiny ice skin, jugger's face mask, or sven's sword? All from the summer's chest. Will consider any reasonable offer.
 
I'm too bad to join in-houses. You guys are so serious man. All I did was sing a beautiful song to the dire team and everybody got mad at me. WTF!
 
Pretty salty no lie.

I usually don't get mad at newbies but that was pretty bad. There was no reason to use her ult at all. I mean, I cannot think of why you would use it, unless you thought it worked like Tide's ult, which can be used whenver. We were already doing poorly against their tryhard lineup. Had we won that fight we might've had a small chance of winning (or at least, losing less horribly), but by losing it our chances went from 0.0001% to 0.0000%.

I wish Naga came with a warning on her ult, I really do. Someone needs to write a guide on how to use it. It's something that requires extreme awareness and judgement, because it's so wide and its effect is so drastic. If you use it, you better have a really good reason to.
 
Can't wait for IHL.

dis gon be gud

Your jugg was pretty well played! And are you guys talking about that ult she used mid? Because yeah, that let me run away.
 
Does anyone know what a 4 line level performance, whatever it is, Axe would be?

He is my most played hero and it's only sitting at 2.5. I don't really care what line i'm at, I'm just curious as to what style of play gets you high on the performance ranking as Axe.

I doubt my ranking is going to improve after running around with a mjollnir and attempting to get a daedalus on him.

I've tried to understand the bars and just can't. I have some heroes with my best w/l's at like 2.5 bars and heroes I mad feed on at 4.5+

Probably KD, KDA and farm, simply: I just got almost full bars (i'm more than 4/5 on the last bar) with Templar Assassin, i'm 4-1 and i was always the one with the highest gpm, KD, KDA in every game except the one i lost in which even a guy in my team had 30 gpm more than me.

Yeah, it sucks as a support.
 
So for the first time ever, I decided to spend money on dota 2 (never done chests in TF2). Picked up 4 keys for the 4 summer chests. What a waste, As expected.

Wheel of fort, timebreaker, hammer time and ice crystal bow.

I got two summer chests and unlocked two wheel of fortitudes. Both my friends who got chests also got the wheel.

I'm glad I tried them out, but uncrating really isn't my thing. Will just stick with straight up buying things from now on.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact riki has 23 cs in a 48minute game.
edit: seeing a sf on a winning team under 400 gpm makes me want to fucking die.

Newbie level game. Riki's aren't carries. They're wards.
