Well they've not really had much competition until recently and $200k is like 40 years salary in Ukraine.

All the more reason to push harder!

Around third of their deaths were from me, so yeah. I had that Medalion early on, they melted virtually in 3-4 hits.

Yeah, nice. This was a pub match, right? I can't help but empathize when you're doing the very best you can and kicking ass but the rest of your team is feeding the other side like it's thanksgiving.

I've met such an awkward situations times and times (was root of the failure as well) so I'm trying to enjoy every decent match. Don't think that was a stomp of some kind. Despite having good start we failed few team fights coz of Spec; and her K/D remained this high thanks to coordinated work of supports.
 
I just checked out a The Defense game due to the free weekend. Spectating is so amazing now. The one thing I would really like is for the tournaments to have a schedule(Unless I missed it). Haven't been able to see a live match yet since I don't know when they are.
 
I wish you could favourite your replays. So you can always check out the ones you actually had a good game in. Making it easier to share with other people.

Hopefully something like that gets implemented.

As for the axe talk before. It's my most played hero. I tend to go ring of health then mana boots, depending on what i'm going up against in the lane. Jungling is also fine at around level 4 or 5 with a ring of health, if you're up against ranged heroes and can't get any farm.

My random ass build is a mjjol into a daedalus. Why? I have no idea why, Probably because I can. That really depends on how bad the teams are and if I can get away with doing something silly.

I'm noticing a lot of people use tranq boots on him now though. I'm not too sure why as I've always found mana to be the biggest issue with axe. Popping off your abilities early on really hurts, there's been many times when i've Q'd then W'd and wanted to ult but never had the mana. So frustrating D:

I thought the same too because they changed panda to a different color, but now naga siren looks almost the same as warcraft 3's version.

It might just be an artistic design choice that they want to keep some heroes as far away from the originals as possible.

Not really old Naga is all green with yellow head fins separated by green whatevers. New naga is mostly whitest with the top half of her head and head frill golden brown and yellow and more human face.

We can agree to disagree. I'm not sure what you mean by "super rare", but I'm talking about people wanting it in an unusual type because it's fucking amazing.

There is no courier better designed or with better animations. If that won't be highly desired as an Unusual, I don't know Unusuals.

I watched it an I want him :).
Then again I'm new to the whole MOBA genre so my opinion can be discarded at will.

I just had a rapier as axe for some random reason. I unfortunately dropped heart instead of vanguard to pick it up. Luckily we somehow won after 74 minutes even though most of the game it was 5v4 with it being 5v3 at some stage.

Sometimes this game is just strange.
 
Started to report people after warning them when they pause the game for 20-30 seconds to brag after a kill. Its a waste of 9/10 people's time, however the offender says I'm being a jerk for doing this.

What say you?
 
Just got stuck in low priority queue for 24hrs.

Apparently its ok for a guy to deliberately stall a game by rushing to feed (literally resurrecting then running to the opponents to die) but I can't sit in base and hope for him to get bored so I can play a different game with hopefully more intelligent people. Seriously they need to give people who want to leave early due to asshat teammates some kind of safe way out. Either through a surrender system or allow people to leave after someone dies x amount of times in a certain amount of time. I love the game, but idiots really ruin it for me. :/

Why don't you play on sea? it's 130ms.

Unless you are with optus then you seem to get a higher ping and US is better for some reason at around 250.

I avoid SEA because I find there's less English speakers from my own experience. And as lame as the high pings are, it's even worse when you can't communicate.

This. Its also weird when people are talking in foreign between each other and your name in their message is all you can understand >_>;

I dont get why they have to cluster the servers though >.< Cant they just make deals with local isps to host a server or two, most of them do it for most games for free anyway.

Also when I was playing on SEA I was getting 250ish latency, in fact the last time I played on it half the team including me were having connection problems >.>

Feh, I think in online games, they should do the most they can to eliminate latency, and I hope Valve doesnt take the blizz cheap arse way of being cheap about it.

Who brags and pauses over random kills? Never seen it.

Play with Thor. It's funny sometimes (when you know you're going to win)


Is the defense over? Who won. Edit. Nope it's not

The bracket is in the overview page. But can't see any timed posted anymore
