Guys, you should play P4A instead of that shitty Capcom game no one currs about.
 
Looks to me they bought so many couries, they blocked all the creeps from moving in for a long time, then finally released them and got 2 towers and started to knock at the T3 tower. If that's true...that's fucking awesome.
 
Oh, looks like all 4 abilites for the beta Frost Wyrm have been leaked:
Frost Wyrm
==========
Scourge
Range
Intelligence

Movespeed: 290
Starting Armor: 3

Attack Damage: 38-46
Attack Range: 600

Intelligence: 25 + 2.4
Strength: 24 + 2.1
Agility: 16 + 1.9

Ability 1: [Trap] A2L9 - R
-----------
Your attacks passively place a marker on enemies (lasts 20 seconds). Upon activation, all enemies with the marker are frozen and the marker is removed. You gain bonus damage for each unit that got frozen. Casting the spell removes the marker from all units, dead units do not count towards the marker bonus.
Hero Marker Bonus: +30 damage
Non-Hero Marker Bonus: +10 damage
Bonus Damage Duration: 8 seconds
Freeze duration: 1/1.5/2/2.5
Cooldown: 20
Manacost: 130

Ability 2: [Split] A2LA - T
-----------
Fires a projectile at a targeted enemy unit. Upon impact, the projectile will deal minor damage to the target and then split and fly out to other enemy units dealing more damage.
Cast Range: 800
Projectile Speed: 700
Split AOE: 450
Primary Target Damage: 50/100/150/200
Split Damage: 100/180/260/340
Cast Range: 600
Cooldown: 10
Manacost: 120/130/140/150

Ability 3: [Shield] A2LB - E
----------
Targets an allied unit and encases them in a protective layer of ice. Disables the target, prevents all physical damage, increases HP regeneration.
Duration: 4
HP Regeneration: 40 + 5/6/7/8% of Max HP per second
Cast Range: 1000
Cooldown: 12
Manacost: 75

Winter's Curse: [Curse] A0Z0 - W
----------------
Global ability. Slows all enemy units movement speed. Pierces magic immunity.
Slow: 50/60/70%
Duration: 5 seconds
Cooldown: 70/60/50
Manacost: 125

That shield is insane. At level 1, it would heal a 500 HP unit 260 HP over 4 seconds. I can not see it making it into the game that strong. And Winter's Curse seems to be a global slow.
 

thnx for the insight sanjay, going thru the patch i'm seeing HUGE nerfs for ds, tinker, invoker, ck, naga, morph, and most other top tier heroes. doesnt look like icefrog is just manipulating armor/stat gains for a hero like lycan. dont see many buffs for underplayed heroes as well. great insight overall

In terms of concentrated damage, certainly not (again, barring Morphling). But in terms of mixed utility, stats, and damage, that tweak would go quite a ways to making the item less of a gimmick for most heroes and actually something potentially worthwhile.

yeah i go skadii A LOT on SF because the tankiness and lock down it gives you are so amazing. especially on a hero like that, that comes with a free 62 bonus damage.
 
Also to note on skadi, don't underestimate it's value on melee heroes. Throw it on skeleking to greatly increase his ability to chase, and give him stats that he really needs, the mana especially, reducing the worry about running out of mana before reincarnating. I like it on melee heroes that don't need an orb and lack a slow, juggernaut is another one if he's being played primary carry, but he needs other things first.
 
Honestly, the salt levels don't even come close to what goes on in the LoL thread.
 
Kind of getting tired of these casters yelling during fights, if I want to hear 1437 properly Tobi destroys my ears when there's a fight.
 
Yeah, it's easy for him to explode if not dealt with properly, but it's also easy to shut him down early. Naga and Dark Seer get banned in pro games right from the get-go as well, but they aren't instant-wins either.

so easy to shut down that teams insist on banning him 9/10 times during draft.

super eassssssssssssssssssssy.
 
I love this game but man every 5/10 games or so some of the guys in matchmaking are just horrible!

I wish there was a fun/competitive pool you could pick to just have some fun without being berated constantly.
