Still above last year's growth rate. Does anyone remember what happened last year on Day 22 that caused the huge spike?

Did the reveal of extra stretch goals cause a spike at all? I remember they had to add a bunch after the fact

I had Rave over Malaysia because I don't know shit about SEA

Anyone who picked two SEA teams to be directly invited to TI knows even less than I do.

Wait what if Rubick does his taunt and then uses blink? What way will he be facing?

Asking the hard hitting questions.

Jesus fucking christ dude. I pointed out a simple thing that might affect gameplay and now you're just going to mock it like it's completely stupid and isn't even worth mentioning? Come the fuck on.

Would the Rubick taunt direction thing be beneficial or detrimental to him?

Nah, just fanart :/
Click to expand...

Damn, I needed a good laugh.

Probably beneficial, you would have trouble force staffing him into something that would stop his TP, or stun him, or something like that.

Like I said, it's a small thing, but I think it's something worth looking at with a critical eye.

I swear people are way too caught up on selling portal. Look, its a good 3 hour game. That is about it. Stop hyping it to be the most amazing game in existence. NOW GIVE ME THE NEXT BATCH OF IMMORTALS VOLVO

Actually using a taunt to your tactical advantage would be top play material.

Though yeah, I think it's a fairly small and unlikely thing, especially compared to the potential gameplay impact of certain other cosmetics (HELLO DISTACTING ARMADILLO PET)

I don't see anything wrong with the Frondillo pet, I mean, you can't even click it like a courier.

What about when cm does her snow angel? Shouldn't force staff become a mini-euls at that point?

Instead of discussing taunts you should be worried that golden blackhole and golden eclipse actually "conceal" BKBs, as in makes them incredibly hard to spot.

Assuming you are serious and aren't trolling like usual, with CM's snow angel taunt, you can still easily tell the direction she's facing.

I disagree, I don't really have a hard time spotting them, but I can probably see how that might be difficult for some people, and they may want to tone down the colors of those effects.

no like the effects are literally layered wrong

That's a thing that actually affects gameplay and it should not happen. It's important that they fix it somehow. Either by changing color saturation or gradients or whatever

Visually distracting. Could cause a split second delay/confusion when encountered. I know they hide in combat but they still rub me the wrong way for some reason.

I've seen that, and the CM pup a lot more and never been distracted by either honestly. Especially since the Armadillo pretty much sticks to the hero and doesn't wander around like the CM pup does.

Oh yeah, CM pup is even worse.

Agha Black Hole should obscure vision for everything except the affected area for opponents

Should literally make the screens of the opponents caught inside go pitch black for the duration.

Black holes swallow all light.

adventures with gyrocopter:

I fed at least three, maybe four deaths before 10 minutes - but comeback gold brought me back into the game and everyone melted to veil call downs: pretty poor performance from me but it still worked out

Game where I actually played relatively well, got some early rotation kills with runes and played marginally better in lane. Got the full kit and dropped so much late game nuke damage

For some reason I frequently barely mistime gyro's last hitting so that creeps survive with <10 hp - I don't know if his attack speed or projectile speed is very slightly faster than I expect or what

Shorter cooldowns means you pump out more damage and can farm with flak cannon more often, more mana for more spells, and spell lifesteal provides quite a lot of regen off of double five man veiled call downs. Plus 25% less cooldown on refresher orb is a pretty big reduction too.

Went for the full magic damage build because veiled poof really hurts and late game meepo brings the right click.

You say that like it doesn't already happen, we talk about BATs, attack speed, these basically are a similar mechanic.

don't forget cast points, which are almost literally the same thing as startup frames!

And tangerine gyro is legit it allows the skill to off cd more often than it's on
