I don't see anything inherently wrong with your items, maybe go bkb instead of bfly and spend the leftover gold on getting to daedalus. SB/Tiny were pretty buff so I guess it is a point of contention if you would have had more EHP from 30% evasion or magic immunity. Mirana isn't really a super late game carry anyway, I like playing her by buying phase, smoke, bottle and just ganking as much as I can.
Your tinker was an idiot at any rate, I'm guessing he was just fooling around with item builds. BKB would have solved his problems against pugna, bloodstone and sb are garbage. No one bought mek and two ac's is just dumb, one should have been vlads, even though you only have one melee carry. I'm guessing it was a 3-4 stack looking to have fun by doing troll builds.
Compendium will probably hit the tier 1 goal today.
Tier 2 within a week
I don't think it'll hit tier 3, though. $2 million should have been the final stretch goal.

I'm sure they commissioned the item already. It will probably be a special drop in the tourney if they don't hit the goal.

Definitely will have to get GAF stacks on with all that stacking bonus.
In other news - what are everybody's favorite Slark builds?
I gotta go fast so I get drums and SnY. Treads definitely better than phase since the toggle is super useful with his kit. The drums I get to help out his mana issues. After that I usually get a basher, and then go from there based on the how the match has progressed.
Mjollnir or AC might be fun to try - more attack speed = more leech. Linken's definitely situational with all the good stats - spellblock really helps a lot if they have good lockdown. Should pretty much never die if you have that as the early warning. MKB a probably pretty good with the speed and bashes. Atos might be fun as a goofy item as it does fulfill some of his needs. Butterfly definitely good long term. Armlet may be entertaining combined with his skills (could you leave it perma-toggled with him?)

community backlash
People bitch and moan about lots of stuff, and Valve listens to them. And now that it's rare, suddenly people want the set and are willing to pay $650.

I'll never buy the "Cowboy Hats break our super serious game lore" when there's WALRUS PUNCH and slot machine noises ingame.

It wasn't just that though. It had low ratings on the workshop and still made it in.
Either way, it's all just experimental fun for Yanis.
It says on the page - drag and drop the team logos.

So in other news, do we think we'll get Tresdin (who was in the artwork), Avernus (who seems further along in development) or disappointment?

Mushroom Crate items marked accepted
Man this'll be a super boring crate. Sven and Juggernaut swords? Really?

Legion Commander is definitely part of the next hero patch. We should just stop there. Speculating on how many heroes will be in today's test client patch is just going to jinx it again.

I havent been particuarly wow'd by any of the recent crates (cept the Anuxi crate because of the Storm hat). This one looks like another I will pass on.
Psh, but its fun to guess! At the very least do you guys think anyone else's textures will pop up today? We're only running on 2 "WIP" heroes right now...
Im still under the impression Terrorblade and Phoenix will be last, and possibly not even added pre-TI3. Gonna go out and guess that Pit Lord will be the next to show up in the textures.

Just hope we get the Radiant and Dire wards in this Chest.
Aren't there probably a couple more items in it that we don't know about yet?

Anyone know if the compendium will also act as a tournament ticket? I'm assuming not but it'd be neat if it did.

Hey it still has a way to go...
this is kind of weird, but TF2 actually got over that little bump of terrible items in 2010-2011 and has looped back around now to amazing items and everything looking fine again. You hardly see something like that loadout these days.
But Dota 2 can never really end up like that without a massive departure from the style and how items are accepted. Dota 2's style is incredibly flexible, much more so than TF2's
I don't know, unless they pull some surprise items it seems the crate will be a
PA Weapon
Disruptor Hammer
Juggernaut Sword
Sven Sword
Doom Sword
QoP Dagger
Empower HUD
that other community HUD
that's a full crate right there of just accepted/schema ready items.

-Double post-
These 3 look cool as hell. Especially the PA weapon. So im OK with this
The new Dire/Radiant wards are looking pretty sweet as well
wtf
Get that shit glowing cactus out my game Valve
EDIT: Its "flaming" animation is also butt ugly. Gross

How is this one of the most popular items in the entire game (the doom sword)
It doesn't even have a lot of ratings, yet shows up in the top rated of all time... and it's accepted. Imo it's kind of ugly.

Well you do need the compendium for Tournament drops this year. Same as needing the pennants last year. Longshot on those, but they're worth ~$200+ (the TI2 ones were) if you do happen to get lucky. Especially if it's from a particularly memorable game. May have to try and increase my chances by spectating some game no one cares about while Na`Vi vs. whoever is on.
People fall over themselves for dat hi-rez grafix. Textures like that don't really fit in with the more water color style of Dota 2 though.
Na'Vi vs Fnatic on right now
Cool.
I didn't watched any game on Dota2, how do drops work?
Like if you spectate a game there are moments in the match where you can pick up treasures ?

When there's a First Blood or a Multi Kill. Random drops happen to random spectators.
SaberVulcan

When moments of note occur, such as First Blood, Killing Streaks, Allied-team denial, and victory, a random item will be given to a random observer with a tag staying something such as :
DK.Burning has scored first blood on Navi.Dendi in match ##### of The International 2013 Grand Finals.
The item will also give you a direct jump to when this occured if you right click it and select the option.
Edit: I dont remember if the heroes are mentioned either, the only tournament item I have is a Victory one, which says the score.

Also Aegis steal (deny as well?) and game end. There might be another instance besides the ones mentioned that I can't remember. Edit: Beaten!
And anyone think a pocket Ursa strat could break the ever prevalent Lifestealer? He's pretty decent vs. him, being one of the few heroes that can man up and fight him head to head. Especially if you got a Wisp.
I feel like Lumines and EE aren't going to get along. I don't see EE's temper or attitude holding well to Lumines' sarcasm and jabs when he's right over EE.
Maybe. I'd hope so because he's been poking him pretty well so far.

I think they're pretty good friends. Eternalenvy invented friendship too. Kappa
Double kill/Godlike/Ultrakill/Rampage/First Blood etc
Go look at this trade
Tournament items get the info added to their description
