We have overstayed our Gaming section time by far. There's shouldn't be whinning. 
Yeah I dont think theyll release during Steam sale, plus they said they wanted both Abbadon and Legion Commander. Id say the week of the 21st sounds right
yeah theyre already up 2-0 in b05 so
Wasn't going to watch the ADL stream but that lineup sounded fun, they're killing it too. On the note of guessing when they release, I'm betting on a week before TI3 now. I was hoping for it earlier but in the end I think it's good they've released the tutes before the actual release because the 10 match limited hero pool queue is full of experienced players item farming, would be a nightmare for an actual new player lol.

Ugh, just ran into lifestealer + dk + clockwork all with armlets...
We still won in the end (can't armlet at late game when phantom assassin is critting you for 1.5k and force staffs are a good counter to dk stun + LS rage ) but it was a very tedious game.
So many times where we kill off everyone in early game except for the dk and lifestealer and then they waste your time with the armlet toggle as your carries are dead and you have support with no stun trying to right click them down...
Which then in turn means the others have more time to respawn and your reward for winning that teamfight is... nothing since you don't get time to push a tower or push your lanes back out or go roshan or anything.
I know it's meant to be in the game but I don't enjoy this mechanic at all, just like having a treant in the game makes for a lot of early diving or overly arrogant play (treants will still strut right up to you when both they and their lane partner are on 40 percent hp because they think they cannot die) or not being able to gank in lane unless they really fuck up.
It just seems so counter against everything else in the game. (as in the way the game normally works and flows and is rewarding/fun)

Someone explain the appeal to me of Dagon rush (and I mean your only item is Dagon plus maybe some branches) Nature's Prophet.
You get to kill steal like Zeus, except with shorter cooldown and more damage

Being a useless piece of shit.
Proving you are an idiot or being astraight troll, building np like shit.
I really need to go find that match a month or two back where one did that, and the first thing he did was TP in to steal my kill (Puck) when the projectile that would have killed them was on it's way. That moment needs a gifcam.
some people were trading commons for cards and I believe a full 75 card set is like 10-12 keys
Has is been announced/revealed what these do yet? I want to earn a critter egg too.
Random thought: Do you think Valve will release with a special event, to do with critters, which gives us critter egg drops and other goodies? It's either that, or they haven't finished the courier modelling.

Yeah maybe they could give us eggs and we could change their colors or something.
That's correct. If you see the sword and x icon above it's head, it's too far away. At level 2 bear though, you get the ability to instantly bring it back to Sylla.

In what was possibly the most satisfying game of Dota I've ever played I (Bristleback) made a SB that was otherwise feeding off of our supports buy an Aghs Scepter cause I kept Halberding him so he couldn't do anything.
He seemed peeved. It was great. It wasn't a stomp either, it was fairly close the whole game.

Omg why does this game hate me D: I'm in a game with a necro who has 8 games,8 wins, seems like a smurf (especially since people are 100-300 wins otherwise) but he just keeps feeding so who knows?
Their team greatly out do us in wins, and their only 'bad' played DC'd so we aren't being fed back. Yay.
EDIT: As you can see, I'm slowly raging inside xD

There should be an Opt-In to this esports garbage because now it's getting in the way. I should be able to press a button and make EVERYTHING having to do with esports go away: blog posts, replays, tournament promotions, pics of random-ass dudes in my dota, so on. Why the fuck would I want rewards that are pictures of random-ass dudes???? I'm deleting all of them. Stupid as all fuck.
