AM is the best farmer in the game. Hands down, no questions, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
I'm ok with this, drow looking good.
If there is an update, it won't be for several more hours.

AM with an early Battlefury, that is.
Well yeah, I think that was implied lol.
Think he had it around 12/13 mins, can't believe pro teams let an AM (I also see this a lot with other hard carries though) free farm for 5/10 mins or even longer. AM in specific though, if you let him freefarm 10 mins in the early game he will go battlefurry for sure instead of vanguard.
Lots of Valve staff on dev forums, hopefully update soonish before I go to bed.
Nah, luna can farm better, as long as you stack creeps like rycho.

I look at the stream and see mouz at t3 and diving to base to get a kill. wtf
I play DOTA for the fan art.
Yeah that will work. They're being a bit sloppy right now though.

Saying that Mouz's team is early game doesn't really have anything to do with having faith or not.
Tough loss for PB, but Mouse had a brutal AoE/push lineup and executed well with it (and early).
Meeru signal going off. I can't be the only one.
What happened?
Not directed at you in particular but people need to learn that winning the game really fast does not mean stomp: like in this case it's usually a risky strategy that will either allow you to win in the first 20-30 minutes or lose later (and then people just go "LOL X THROWING").

Until next week.
That money from the sold beta keys has to be running out with you buying account after account just to post 4 posts until you get banned again.

oh lawd.
Also of someone who can't let go of a community they were effectively run out off.
Then again, that must come with the territory of being a dipshit who cons people.

Wait, seriously? You can't use it in Single Draft? Why did Valve think that would be a good idea?
I don't know that's so lame. It will be nice for RD, but still...
RD IHL is more viable now.
If any mode needed swap it was SD. Now there's no reason to not just all random and swap picks with teammates.
If valve only implemented swap in SD, maybe in RD/CM too, then that would have been great. Not sure why AP has it too be honest. There should be risk/reward to randoming your hero but now the risk is mitigated a lot because of swaps.
