How does that happen?
You have to lose a lot.

I was in a lane with a kotl the other night. He didn't understand I needed him to harass the opponents hero's to keep them away. I also asked him to stop spamming his spell into the creep wave since its pushing the lane. He said we wanted to push towers only for the whole team to chime in and say not yet. He gave himself mana a few times even though I needed it before rolling out to another lane.
Looking back this weekend had some horrible matches.
This is taking things to a whole new level of offensive
There truly are no more sacred things...
Incentive. Like with credit cards or other subscription services.

So what's going on with SingSing right now, professionally? Prepping a new team for TI?
Christ I was looking so hard for this term but I totally forgot about it.
Yeah, it's a gateway drug.

TI6 if anything. It seems Sing's stock dropped a lot ever since FATA replaced as well as outperformed him.

There's majors next year so singsing would probably end up cobbling together 4 last-minute teams to try and qualify for a tournament.
Unless he gets rotated into a good EU team in the post-TI shuffle.

They have to be losing for this to make sense.
It's gateway drug
Generally felt to be a bug that for some reason they haven't fixed.

I come back to dota after a small break and every_single_game has a Bloodseeker. What the hell happened? Nobody was playing him a while ago.
he was already a hero for shitlords, icefrog just made him good. a disgusting combination
You should stop that. Losing is bad for your MMR. Don't lose anymore.

balance change, the further away WD's deathward is, the less damage it does.
Why do you want to nerf the Doctor? Oh Yeah
I think the hero is in a good position, he absolutely doesn't need a nerf.

skill level is so low, hes the pyro of dota.
Way ahead of you!
On a serious note, either making Rupture not pierce through magic immunity or making bloodrage heal % scale (5%,10%,15%,20%) and/or giving it a mana cost would fix a lot of the issues with the hero
no, that would be wraith king

Insta pugna pick for all those dirty lesh pickers
Well it's like Costco's chickens, right? You go to buy a chicken and then you maybe pick up something else while you're there.
Except they made a system where you can customize your chicken with seasoning for $2, and then they allowed people to sell their own seasoning mixes. Eventually the system grew to the point where the rotisserie business overwhelmed the rest of the store.
As the chicken business grew, they created a multi-store event so that, every year, the top customers from around the world gather to have a chicken eating competition and you can donate money to fund their prize pool, as well as get special limited edition artisanal seasoning mixes.
The loss leader is the fact that it's free-to-play. It's like saying "Walmart's got a cool fucking slip-n-slide set you can just go and use, and they've got go-karts you can ride for free." And then also you can buy stuff there to make enhance your slip-n-slide and go-karting experience? This analogy fell apart.
I think most places just over cook it, the restaurant I worked at in high school specialized in rotisserie chicken and it was not at all dry. I guess it helps that you could eat it on the spot out of the oven, where stores would place it in boxes under heat lamps for hours on end.
Thirst buff. BS now gains max MS and AS at the 25% threshold, so he flies around the map now. I posted it in the thread a few days ago; his pick rate has increase by over 50% since the first of June.
Well I was speaking of Costco's chickens in particular.

Yeah, me calling it a "loss leader" was half-joking. I know they make a ton of money on it from whales like me, but I'm just one person out of 11 million people playing this game per month. I have to imagine a huge chunk of that audience won't pay a penny for it. Servers ain't cheap.

I think Valve acquiring DOTA which has a huge following in Russia, Asia, Central/South America, and other regions where they wanted to expand Steam was definitely a calculated move. Now Valve just needs to acquire idolmaster or kancolle so Japanese people will use Steam too
Yeah, Costco's rotisserie chicken is the old hotness.
Wegmans rotisserie is the new hotness.
yes.
And now you can buy custom hats for Gordon Freeman's HEV suit.
