One last bump!
Sorry, I should have clarified.
I'm only level 5, so I think they do this based on your level + inactivity. What does suck though, is that I did pay for a couple heros. So you guys do have a point about that being lame.
That said, I think the only reason my account has been flagged is because of my low level + inactivity. I don't know if this is true for other accounts above level 10. Truth be told, I just got into LOL - but then found out about DOTA, so I switched to DOTA 2 and haven't looked back. Here is what the email said:
EDIT: It also just says "summoner's name". So maybe my account + micro transactions will still there (But I'll just have to log in with my email, and make a new summoner name).

Game needs a Hank Hill announcer.
Yeah that sounds about right. I wasn't trying to make a big deal out of it. I just made the post in jest. I'm so obsessed and in love with DOTA 2, that I just found the email to be funny when I got it today.
Would instabuy tbh.

Mhm, much prefer the anarchy of display names that is Steam. Some people make a big deal about imposters and the like (was the root of some annoying conversations in the early days of the beta), but it's easy enough to root them out.
they got 5-0'd by navi joke picks a week or so ago.

Pudge is joke pick?
Man that Dota 2 Lounge trading is pretty awesome. I had like 4 TA Mythical masks that I got before the price change and I traded for a bunch of stuff that I really wanted. Got a key and 2 rares in one trade, the rare healing ward modifier in another and Tiny ice skin and Vice of the West. Someone is going to trade my extra Kunkka sword for the Werebat and an uncommon. Pretty happy with the trades all around. I may have been able to get more but I got exactly the stuff I wanted which is more important to me.
I can't stand EE but with Kaipi being left out I completely lost interest in the west qualifiers.

Eternal Envy with the super aggressive cancer lancer build.
Oooo Empire Vs. DD already. Was hoping we'd see that one.
Weird that a team that just changed two players and has only one player with any achievement under his belt didn't get invited.

So how does one lane against Sniper again? Because I still seem him as a little fucking asshole who's base attack damage is way too fucking high because he makes it impossible to get a single last hit without taking like one third of your health.

i would also like to know this
just stay by the tower and hope someone else will help you in a gank?
Did I say I didn't understand the decision?
They should just find someone to stand in for him, last game was just silly.
He's slow and has low hp. Dive dat ass like you do KOTL.

He's slow, but his ministuns keep me out of range
If a hero is hard to deal with, and he's not in competitive play, you should really think about why he isn't picked.
Sniper, is it because he's bad at laning or doesn't have enough game impact?
Having an extremely long range carry with good items late game is fucking scary, so probably the fact that he can't lane.
So, what's an usual good lane that's viable in pro games? Let's say for simplicity two stunners in a duo lane.
Sven and Lina? There's no possibility for sniper to survive that with his low hp, unless he has two supports.
And if we want to just survive an offlane against sniper, is there anything sniper brings over a more common carry? Not really, except for some additional range, but without a nuke that's just gonna make him choose between farming and harassing you, as he can't "go for the kill" in the same way as more common carries. So just stay safe, try to get exp and maybe some last hits, don't try to challenge the supports. Positioning should be enough against a sniper and his support/s in this case.

I usually play Nyx against him, assuming he goes mid. Give him the occasional pop up and score some last hits along the way, maybe rush in for some hits while he's stunned. If you get low on health and expect that inevitable assassinate shot, reflect that shit with carapace. Pubs usually don't expect it, might even get a kill out of it if your harass succeeded.
Plus, Nyx is great against him once you get your ult and can stealth into melee range.
But then again, I find an excuse to play Nyx in almost any matchup... XD

Elder Titan seems very fun. I say seems because my first game with him was against a team with Sniper, Lion, Chaos Knight and Drow, and there was no way that game was ever going to actually be fun.
Single Draft doesn't give a consistent pool and in All Pick you often don't even know you're playing against Sniper until 15 seconds before the horn. (Actually, this is a problem with Single Draft as well.)
Counterpicking usually isn't an option unless I'm playing Random Draft :/

is it acceptable to get like three last hits in five minutes? Because that's basically how I have to survive against him.

Quick question. If you have lifesteal, and cleave, does your lifesteal proc off of the targets you hit with cleave, or only the one you're actively attacking?
only the one you're actively attacking, only exception with splash is dragon knight, his ulti grants life steal from all splash dmg

only the target
edit: bah aren't you streaming
Rox.Kis picked up a tusk too earlier, I don't see funstealer going away anytime soon though it seems the team who picks him wins.
yeah, but when team mates let you die...

Treant
But eg is playing him solo offlane presumably rushing blink.

I really, really hope not. Initiator Treant is abominably terrible at his job. Tanky Mek Treant is fearsome.
