I'm just glad there's a new arena shooter (as unconventional as it is)
Controls real nice too, I think the controls are awesome and definitely will hopefully bring back an era of arena shooters.

I like this patch purely because troll sniper was soooooo booooooring

What's the timing on Eul's into Light Strike Array on Lina? Do you blow it instantly, or do you have to wait a second?
The cast delay for LSA isn't really that long. You cast it near the end of the eul's. Unless the opponent has a blink or something, it's not difficult at all, just go practice in a bot game a few times.

It's around half a sec before it ends since thats the delay for it I think.

I'm really bad at dota but do you all feel that balance whine is really necessary most of the time? I often wonder if most of the problems with heroes is that the scene has trouble with creativity and don't want to invest time to figure out counters and just goes with what is tried and tested? Again I'm pretty clueless but I got the impression in dac that asian teams banned some heroes that were not getting that much priority by western teams(only thing I can come up with now is batrider).
I'm not only a noob but drunk at the moment so I'm probably out of my element now..

I think that post dac tourney recently showed us troll and sniper were overrated and people spent more time whining about them being broken rather than do anything against it. Same thing this patch. Its embarrassing to try to blame the game so much sometimes. Comeback mechanic was nerfed, and now people complain about stomps. Maybe the next logical step would be to stop blaming the game for your loss and try to improve as a player in general. It'd be a bit more productive.
no targeted to anyone in particular, but I feel its a bad attitude if you have any ambition to improve at the game

At level 1 it's easier to kil the enemy tank than a tombstone.

most whine is just people failing to understand the game. when I was new people would whine about Riki because...he's invis. Then people eventually learned that detection is a thing.
that said, sometimes some heroes feel too strong relateive to other heroes at their given position and tweaks are in order. Sniper was too strong last patch, for example. He was maybe the only carry that could solo kill anyone at level 2 unassisted without the enemy laner being even out of position. Old PL was...

....yea.
So yea, sometimes heroes need to be brought back into balance.
Or if one team knows how to fight as five and you don't.
Fixed.
Well ya.
We had great team comp in my last match. But then our Omni had to go and abandon and never come back.
We lost

I had Terrorblade.
And I had Terrorblade.
But take jug for instance, wasn't the only thing they changed his starting agi and armour (maybe the scaling?) and suddenly he was the hottest shit ever? Now maybe those changes that I use the words "only" to describe is what makes a hero worthwhile in pro hands but does it matter that much to the rest of the player base? Feels like its just changes that make people try out a forgotten hero and go "oh shit he's actually pretty decent in certain match ups"?
Some whine is because a hero is hard to deal with either by themselves or because they require teamwork to stop. At lower MMR teamwork is hit or miss and so called broken heroes are often ones that more skilled players have far less problems with. Other complaints are because a hero is so legit broken that they swiftly become problematic to more than just the usual vocal minority ( see initial release Earth spirit). Regardless people complain all the time and especially after a big game changing patch patch like we just had.
The regional pro scenes all have their own mini metas and tend to have certain heroes they prefer and others they dislike dealing with so you may see certain bans from some regions that you don't from others. Usually they aren't the first 2 bans though, those tend to be reserved for fotm heroes and respect banning ( AKA don't give bulldog Furion or Arteezy sf etc etc)

her projectile has been fucked for as long as I've played. Don't even know why that hasn't been fixed.

i cant promise that
Is there an MMR limit for standins? I'll likely be around, but I would feel a bit bad playing for a team honestly.
Well even if you pick CM and stack and Jungle for aura level 3 at 12 minutes it's better than losing by default, we need a 5th.
I think we need player to be under something like 3700? I'm not exactly sure TBH.

New goal at 20 million, butt-homing Enchantress Immortal spear.
You get +1 Last Hit for Devour and Death Pact, right?
You also get gold. Sacrifice also gives XP to both teams.
The former, I'm around 4500 but I have a stupid face.
Er, I don't think Jugg would ever do a build that had over 400+ attack speed. Maybe you are thinking of his buff to his BAT, which was huge?
