yeah, for some one so tanky I spent all of my teamfights casting from the back, mainly cause I didnt want rubick to steal my shit.
I moved out of support lane to jungleing with w. if I had a stout shield early I think he wouldn't be too bad in the jungle, but yeah he definitely needs a specific team setup to get any real use out of him.
He's really tanky in the early game. With the right partner, he can push towers pretty early, but no matter how well I do with him he feels almost worthless, outside of a lucky ult, in the late game.

Reason 1 I love the new Huskar :)

Speaking of strange / ugly concept, I kind of find sad that there isn't an easy way to use personal item in game.

By all mean I know what I create isn't good enough to be ingame, but it wouldn't hurt anyone eyes if I could use them while other people don't see it.
 
Obviously. Doesn't mean there aren't more and more crazy concepts every day.

On the workshop? Yes, sure, but that's not a problem is it? The majority of items on there will never make it into the game and I feel like pretty much all of the crazier ones that made it into the test client never got ported into the main client (aside from alpine ursa, but that one got pulled).

Going through these tutorials takes a while. Done with the 1on1 stuff and have one game with the limited hero pool down. On to more!

You could do that with old Huskar though. Also, if Riki had diffusal, he could have just purged off your ghost form.

You "could", but the old Huskar was shit and boring. One nuke sends you into an early grave. With the new Huskar, not only he becomes fun to play, but also you can wreck havoc even amidst the enemies. And while old Huskar needed some items to work, like Armlet and Dominator, new Huskar only needs GS and is good to go.

Get a midas/vlads on Juggernaught because i have to carry vs a CK. Slark on my team laughs at me and says im a noob for not rushing Bfury. Check his items

Just had a game where my mouse died right at the last team fight. Feels bad. And then Gabe throws some ugly Doom horns in my face.

BTS has great ideas:

All Basketball Team: Huskar, Earthshaker, AntiMage with Blink, Tusk?, Last pick?: Axe, Elter Titan?

What fits into that NBA lineup?

He's right though. If you have to carry vs a CK and you end up getting an early midas you need to roll that early advantage as much as you can and accelerate your farm. Not to mention CK is an illusion carry and battlefury works REALLY well against them.

You bought a vlads which is also a strange choice seeing as how jugg already has healing utility in his ward. Vlad should normally be picked up by a support - not one of the teams carries (unless you're ursa bear warrior). Also treads + MoM is not that bad on Slark as long as he picks up like a BKB next he's good to go. I'm on Slarks side... when someone calls you out for not picking up a certain item you shouldnt just immediately dismiss him - think about the situation the game is in and act accordingly.

Man, it is FUCKING BORING going through 10 games of mid practice. I hope the noobs don't feel like they have to do that.

I can't even imagine how boring someone going through that would feel like this game is.

The mid game is so easy and quick, just get Drow Ranger or something.

It's the play 10 matches against humans in Limited Pools that is tough to get through. Tough as in it will take a while. I guess that's the point for newcomers although there should've been dual lane or even trilane/solo lane practice in the side lanes. I can just imagine new players all rushing to get to mid with Sniper.

It's like 8-10 minutes per match which means about an hour and a half for the 10 mid games. At least people hit back.

You have to do different heroes. But I just use cheats to go Level 25, Deso/Bots/MoM/Manta/2x S&Y, so it took about 15 minutes for all 10.

The 5 full games was even faster, since you could just use the command to start the game then to have radiant win.

Yea and that's two games against humans at most in the same time frame.

I'm not talking about purely time though. I mean boring as in you're doing somethig really tedious. It's like I'd rather play Tekken against noobs for 6 hours than hit a practice guy that doesn't hit back for 2 hours.

Well I guess for new people trying out all the items and heroes will be intersting enough.
