I almost threw a game today with FireWire and Dahbomb, I bought a rapier on Slark and then fed it to Gyro. Next 25 minutes were the longest 25 minutes of a dota game ever.

Man I thought we we're going to get slaughtered with that rapier gyro (we kinda did, the only reason we won was the backdoor'ing...)

You're not out of the trench unless you're in the top 1% of players. I don't think anyone on NeoGAF is in the top 1% of players.

The dotabuff mmr had a diamond tier (99th percentile), there were quite a few people on gaf here that were in it.

It didn't really feel like diamond tier and I encourage anyone that is having fun playing dota to just keep playing, because no matter what tier you're in you're always going to have people doing dumb things and you're going to lose games. Don't worry about skill tiers, they actually can be very restrictive because of people jumping on the trending heroes, on the other hand, the hero pool could be larger because people are more familiar with advanced heroes.
 
Yesterday I got to experience the Flax announcer in a match and boy does it suck.

I think the only announcers I like are Axe and Dr Kleiner.

Relax. It's one report

think about how your team felt that you played on call

What did they expect me to do? It was an unexpected emergency call. How is that something to get mad about?
If I had expected a call might come I would have only been playing alone with bots.

I always enjoy the Pirate mega kills when that's available in my games.

Don't own any announcers myself. Or HUDs either besides the TI3 one (which is kinda shitty.) Though some of the newer HUDs look pretty good.
 
so, question, with the new patch how much is the meta going to change? Are heroes like Keeper of the Light, Batrider, Lifestealer, Gyrocopter, Nyx, etc, still going to be picked/banned in most pro games?

They'll fall off a bit and new heroes will try to usurp their place.

Lifestealer and Gyro are the ones to watch.
 
Luna's armor doesn't look nearly as good in the game.
