I'm not gunna call this racist, and I'm not one to get easily offended, but I can't help but shake my head at this.
I hope to high heaven this shit doesn't get added.

See, but unlike items for heroes no one will hear this unless they specifically check the box, so if they want to add it, I have no issues.

It is a little borderline though. More Black Dynomite less stereotypical black man.

Its a little bit past borderline for me. "If y'all don't hurry up I'm gunna get some chicken and waffles."
Seriously?

It's not borderline. It's just not good. Poorly executed. Poor (or over) pronunciation and enunciation important words, coupled with a swagg-less, uninspired delivery. It could be done right, but not by whoever that was.
 
Oh god I'm not saying it's good. It's boring and offensive. But I think a Black Dynomite type pack could be great, as Black Dynomite is awesome.

I agree. But that soul man pack is all kinds of wrong.
I wouldn't have a problem with a "blaxploitation pack" if done right.
 
I have a question about the bottle crow nerf.

It says that it's 33% slower when the bottle is empty. So that means that it's only slow half of the time since once it reaches the well it gets full and now it will get back to the mid player at full speed? If so this does not seem like a drastic nerf and would still make bottle crowing viable.

Nah it's a prop getting curb stomped.

Still viable, only adds like 5 seconds to bottle crowing time.

also adds MUCH more potential for courier pickoffs.
 
Twitch.tv has been completely awful for me in the last week or two. Streams are unwatchable (as in, maybe 2-3 frames per second) at decent (720p or higher) resolutions, sometimes lagging at 480p as well. It probably has to do with the routing from me to Twitch's CDN because when I used a proxy located in the US, streams run smoothly at 720p and higher.
 
Bulldog is less effective if he doesn't have Druid or furion. It makes a big difference. He's still a strong player, just cant use his fav strat.

He had Lone Druid and it was the full Alliance roster. Next please!

By the same token GIFs of people getting shot and such should also not be okay.
It just as violent of an act.

I think the context of the scene and film make it an ultra bad GIF. Probably one of the most fucked moments in cinema...those teeth scraping on the curb...eurgh
 
Oh and here's your 6.78 meta change prediction of the day:

Lone Druid falls off, particularly as an offlaner due to the armlet changes and increased liability of losing the bear. Lifestealer becomes less powerful for kills in lane, which mitigates his early aggressive prowess and ability to be used in an aggressive tri-lane, but is still otherwise as powerful mid-late.

With these changes in mind, what I expect to see is a more common Naix solo offlaner, picking up the slack where I anticipate LD to decline.
 
I can't wait for Abaddon to get in. I love healing and protecting my teammates and frustrating my enemies (#treantdoto) and ol' Abby is similar to him. There are some key differences, the main one being that I won't be able to offlane Abby, and Abby being weaker during the laning stage, but it's OK.

The Naix nerf is pretty fuckin big. He'll still have things like infest bombs, of course he hasn't lost his free BKB, but his ability to participate in ganks, especially early on, will be heavily diminished here.
