Having unlimited control and all the data of an entire private economy is an economist's wet dream. Valve is most probably screwing around and trying to find the best way to continue monetizing shit.

Well, they do have a professional economist on staff for their virtual economies (TF2/Dota 2).

It hasn't been updated in a long time, though.

Honestly you'd have to be a pretty big noob to chase down bristleback when you have low health. Sounds like he got pretty butthurt for being called out on his mistake.

Still, what exactly are you achieving by saying "fucking newb" to someone? You're insulting them, making their experience worse and you look like a dick. Why not just play the game and show a bit of maturity?

Bbbbbbut that's the best part. Otherwise you are just clicking RNG calculators.

I was just playing a game and teammate chen's first item was midas. I was like "oh great, carry chen", and he was like "what just because i got midas you think im trying to carry". Next item treads,

Spoiler

next item mek,

next item eblade.

The funny thing is he got ganked in the jungle cause there weren't any wards.

Compendium sales have seriously dropped to like 1 a day it feels like..

Hey if we get to 2.6 mil, we'll get a newly created Immortal item. Not sure whether I'll pick Stumpy or the Yak though.

 

[Gully State]

I dunno about you but outside of the immortal item which probably won't have much value, the rest of the rewards aren't interesting at all.

[SteveWinwood]

Stumpy prices crashed? Good.

I kind of wanted one.

I'll have fun navigating it on my phone... someone want to link me to the market page of them? I'd heart you 4 eva

Isn't it the furion scythe o vyse

Even if that is what we get, I dunno if I'd use it. The flower staff is so badass. I really should try and get some strange modifiers for it…

 

[Drkirby]

I think the Scythe of Vice is going to be a promotion for buying some hardware, like a mouse or headset.

Giantbomb: Brad interviews DOTA2 content creator Bronto ϟ Thunder" Retter. I'm listening to it right now...will post thoughts later. I know we have a few content creators here (Anuxi being the most successful). Would love to hear your thoughts on it...

I'd have to agree EVERYONE gets that flower. Wish more sets had that kind of humor and concept execution

 

[Procarbine]

No just piercing beams or flame is not good enough you have to pair it with a good color
But stuff has to look cool, things like "ice frogs" make for ironic matches too.

http://dota2prices.com/tiers/

This kind of explains it. But there are even rarer courier colors which don't even appear on that page which are basically oneofakind setyourownprice. Even non gbr couriers can go for $3000+ if it is oneofakind and it looks cool.

I've got a unique color, pink!

You can't apply the custom strange effects to a non-strange item. It has to be strange to begin with.

If we get an immortal furion weapon im gonna rage.

 

[Aselith]

He's jungling with Lycan. :/

Or another Promo item given to attendees at the TI3 much like the WitchSlayer Axe from last year.

Almost guaranteed to be pudge/sniper/drow/jugg/trench pub stomper

Flower staff hasn't been available as a strange.

Has rtz lost a solo mid yet? Idk if he's played dendi or s4 yet
Edit: I think he might have Zeus navi, but I can't remember he's always in school

Korok shit on him two games in a row a month or so back.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Gladly swap my incredible, immortal yak for the defence 4 lizard thing.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

RTZ Zeus feeder noob. Pls disband.

Well, I can safely say that KP did not in fact, deserve in invite.

Seems like they were just doing well when teams started relaxing after their invite.

they changed two players back then too, which was one of the reasons for them not being invited. old kaipi was doing better than the current one i think

In the qualifier pool they can beat every team except mouse consistently

Goddamn I seriously regret not jumping on this set when it was available. I would sell that in a heartbeat. I'd never have to put money in my steam wallet for a long ass time. Then again, I don't really know if these sell at these prices or not.

DD? EG? Roxkis? That's four teams out of eight that KP can't beat consistently and they had roster issues.

I know some people on GAF have that set too. They can just cash in now and buy keys all day every day.

It's not so easy. There are a lot of scammers out there. It also takes a tonne of effort to offload hundreds of keys

Any sets worth buying? Or items? :L

I've been debating weather or not to get the new Rubick set's chest/cloak. Favorite hero and a bit tired of Councillor's.

For profit? low price EF stumpies.
For cosmetic goodiness? - the new tusk is pretty nice.

DD? EG? Roxkis? That's four teams out of eight that KP can't beat consistently and they had roster issues.

With full roster they can beat them.

This is funny because EE is probably the biggest tryhard in Dota 2. He was on my team for a while about a year back (probably farther back actually but he did make NTH right afterwards) and he's just obnoxious.

 

[StickSoldier]

what is a tryhard exactly

 

[Enco]

Screw this game.

A full day of failure. Dc's, low priority, getting pubstomped and general shitty fucking games. Fuck everything.

 

[shira]

what is a tryhard exactly

Someone who tries really hard to win

IE timechecks ultimates
picks OP heroes
demands mid or feed
