[52club]

Towards the end of the last thread there was some chromecast discussion. Just an FYI once you cast to your chromecast it is doing the streaming, not your device (so your battery life isn't affected).

[Wonderboy91]

This "casters don't know that headdress builds into mek" thing is killing me.

 

[twobear]

lowkey do y'all honestly think that it wont reach 15 million? i'm pretty sure that it'll get some 'anonymous' donations from the bank of gaben if it looks like they aren't.

 

[G.ZZZ]

I'm only losing this patch it's unberable

 

[Drkirby]

Guys, how do you think I should have built my Gyro this game if it didn't end early due to an abandon. I'm thinking I should have gotten BKB instead of S&Y for starters, but what after that?

Cut the drums/sny.Yasha, Bkb, then mkb. Killing tombstone is a massive part of your teamfight contribution , that's the #1 factor in going for that skill build. MKB helps you shore up against sniper and is generally good on gyro. Could also just bkb-->yasha if your team was getting crushed early game.

2 EZ 4 RTZ?

 

[M.D]

rtz being in the air really and not getting stunned by the supernova really hurt them

6.84 already dead

damn you hupsel

 

[Sigismundo]

When MY got a better than perfect egg and still lost the team fight you knew it was over.

 

[Trickster]

Team Secret, good god man

 

[Shinypogs]

So in that second Alliance vs Na'vi game why did Loda wait and let Pajkatt get that one kill that happened mid? Shouldn't Slardar need the gold more since SF can farm faster anyways. I never quite understand how teams work out who gets what kill when they have multiple cores. I've seen and understand supports letting the carry get the last hit on a kill that has no chance of escape but when you have two or more important heroes who could use the gold how do you determine who goes for the kill?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

^^Shadow Fiend scales better into the late game, Slardar doesn't need much more than Blink. Mostly though you can't afford to give kills to other members since ensuring the kill happens takes priority.

mannnn i remember that game....played a lot of freestyle 1 back when i was HighSchool....mostly gunbound, those dancing games and Ran online were very popular back then from where I was ;_;

 

[Emerson]

Dis curve looking like gonna end exactly where it did last year

 

[Sigismundo]

I got to play WC3 and the original CoD at high school on LAN (I graduated in 2009). I am quite fond of original CoD but the last good one was CoD4.

Also never played WC3 Dota, oddly enough. I normally played ladder.

I hope they realize it's plateauing and give us an incentive to keep pumping money into it.

I mostly hope this because the stretch goals are ass and I need something exciting.

wc3 dota was fun man ....

ahhh wc3 ...played dota 1 with my friends a lot.. we were challenging other schools 3v3 , and one of my friend only knows how to centaur back then and would always ask me when to stun and shit

"when do i stun ! when do i stun!" in the middle of the freakin match shouting lmaooo

sheesh good times

 

[Anno]

Assuming I have a halfway decent lane (not like the KotL/Lesh nonsense I faced with a "support" DK), what's a decent time for PMS-Phase-Quelling-Aquilla-Radiance safelane Spectre? It seems to be not quite as important to hit a decent timing as with Naga, and even when I get it 25 minutes in it still feels impactful. Anything around there pretty decent?

Edit: This is potato as fuck tier.

You don't know how to read curves?

 

[Artanisix]

Really hard to say Anno. It depends on how many easy kills/assists you can grab with your ulti, how little the enemy ganks you, etc... 20-25 minutes is a perfectly fine timeframe to aim for.

I know how to read curves..

[JC Sera]

Updated OP is actually better than old OT's. Actually provides useful information unlike the old comic from the stale OP's of yesteryear

well done steve

To be fair I really love those comics and still get a self embittered giggle when I read them

Considering that the growth rate has fallen behind last year's I think I'm reading it more or less right.

No where has it fallen behind last years growth rate. You may want to brush up a bit.

The guild? It's always kinda dead sadly. Someone should invite everyone in the IHL guild to the neogaf one, there's actually not that much overlap IIRC.

damn you hupsel

Honestly easy

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

That streetball game seems sick btw I'm totally getting into that

Can you play with friends or all solo? Is there leveling up and stuff?

edit: Oh i see there's leveling, but can you actually upgrade your player?

 

[Kade]

Is there a "broken ankles" status effect? Rod of Hotsos.

 

[eznark]

lovely

 

[1.09]

there is some leveling aspect in the form of card sets and equip item bonuses, but we just ball with those turned off right now.

 

[Emerson]

Look at the daily increases, not the total pool (The definition of rate). They're explicitly stated on Matt's tracker site. The last two days are lower.

 

[twobear]

6.84 isn't a very good patch. it's time to admit that, move on with our lives, and start whining about 6.85 taking forever.

 

[StarlordDial]

Oh shit countdown and open invites

 

[DrPizza]

OK dudes who wants to make a team of 2K scrubs to clinch the open qualifier spot at TI5 and then blow everyone away with our unique pub meta strategies.
