Skadi/AC synergises much better for pure offence, sheep can also work really well.
Mhmm, definitely good, but it seems like they're not knocking DK down fast enough. Furion backdoored through a T3 and half the bottom barracks' health in the time it took the Dire to whittle DK down outside Roshan. A sheepstick is a fantastic item, but perhaps armor reduction and more damage would be more suited to the situation they're in.

Good lord. Demolished by Dark Seer.
he's quite underrated and he's getting some buffs too
<3 Dark Seer. Instant army.
More like a rebalance. His Ion Shell is buffed (longer duration, damage, and aoe, in exchange for slightly longer cooldown), and his wall produces semi-transparent illusions, so enemies can tell which heroes are the real ones. Not like it matters much since the illusions still do 90% damage. So a buff+nerf together.

Seriously. Broodmother, Venomancer, Nature's Prophet, Enigma, Dark Seer. They all put extra units on the map. Plus Death Prophet's ult flying around... That's the first time I ever wasn't really able to keep track of what was happening since I started watching at The International.
Yeah OrangeCaramel taught me the wonders of Agha Seer, but truly that Enigma helped them win them so many fights, catching 3 heroes with nearly every ultimate, especially towards the end.
Seriously what is up with the MOBA community and K Pop though.

Wow that Navi vs J4T game (from joindota/defense) was epic.
darkseer OP now?
darkseer OP now?
That was hilarious hahahah
I know, it's embarrassing.
But seriously, Enigma was like 15-1 and a recent tournament and surprised he's not banned that often.

I would also like to know this.
I don't think its embarrassing, just wondering why it's so widespread in the MOBA genre, in comparison to other gaming communities.
I couldn't agree more.
I'm pretty sure he meant in random matchmaking games, not pro tournaments. I feel the same way when I have morphling in my team (not when pro players are playing him). I've won one time with morph in my team, don't think I've lost against him. That time when we won, our morph was constantly morphing agi even though he had already morphed all to agi, so it was just draining his mana. It took about 2-3mins to tell him how to use that skill and even after that, he couldn't use it properly.

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
fuckthisshitfuckthisshitfuckthisshit
now people can justify their krob picks on my team and give me free losses in incredibly shitty games
Wonder if the illusions becoming more transparent is going to be replicated in Dota 2 as well.
Why would anyone need to justify picking krob?
I think this speaks more towards player ability and not the actual hero.
Is Krob a low tier hero now?
Cause people don't know how to play it, and it's awful if your team isn't properly built around it.
Basically, the game is threwn if you get krob on your side, I haven't had a single competent krob player on my team.
Ye, that's the problem. Of every morph I've seen in matchmaking, no one can play him properly. I have nothing against having a good morphling in my team, but now I'm terrified of seeing him being picked on my team since I haven't seen a good morph player in the dota 2 matchmaking. :/
oh you.
Does anyone get vlad's on AM anymore? Feel like I haven't seen anyone use it, or PMS...
expect to see morph more often due to the buffs
http://nooooooooooooooo.com/
But there's a bigger chance that I'm up against morph than getting him on my team, so that's good atleast.
Because there are so much better choices, and to be totally honest I don't even think it's a good item on him. (a lot because you're not gonna have item slots for it)
Though it can be great to have someone else in the team picking it up.
He's popular in Chinese Dota where he's played as a tank with a mass aoe slow. Core items in China for him are Vanguard and Pipe. Pretty cool, really.

This entire match, holy shit. I recorded all of it. I may upload more awesome clips of it later. To sum it up: Teamfights, teamfights everywhere!

If someone picks antimage on the enemy team you have to push. All the time. As much as possible. Don't let him farm, gank as often as possible, and get that 20 minute barracks. Of course this requires you to pick an aoe/burst heavy team. Just be relentless, don't let AM farm for an hour. I was playing earlier, farmed pretty well as juggernaut, the team was holding their own, we had just taken down the enemy as rosh, but they bought back. Rather than force another fight we were too timid and didn't push. This allowed the anti-mage to finish his heart. He was now unkillable. If we had been more aggressive, we'd have probably won that game. But instead AM 1v5'd us. I probably could have taken him, but my team melted really quickly and ES would just stun lock me, being magic immune is nice; but you sacrifice your auto-attacks and lifesteal if you turn it on as juggernaut.
