The only time I've seen Visage played is from Kaipi and Liquid. Pretty sure KP uses him much better, CMW has good micro.

Thinking about changing my compendium picks. I really think slark is gonna be most picked/banned. What do you guys think.

my god KP has a full on squad of douchebags

Yeah seriously, they really aren't doing themselves any favors or generating much sympathy. I liked them for their nontraditional picks and risks, but it's hard to root for a team of assholes. You're a fucking dota player holy shit, get a grip and relax.

Are they remaking the game with the same picks or what?

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.

I would just like to say that your avatar had confused me for like, ever. I kept thinking it was some paint-level cut and paste of a black shirt or something. I didn't even realize there was an image of SF in there.

It's from a pretty funny video, if I wasn't on my phone I'd link you it. One of my favourite parody videos (it's about nyx being OP from memory)

So about that game agains Dignitas that Mouz issupposed to have in 10 minutes...

It was going to be delayed anyway, assuming that KP doesn't win game 2. Dota teams and tournaments really need to work together to avoid these scheduling conflicts.
 
I remember when my friend had his first seizure. I was eighteen, he was seventeen, and we were rockin' out at his house, playing some awesome Street Fighter III: Third Strike. He was Remy, I was Hugo, and I was completely styling on him. I pushed him into the right side of Remy's stage, which has some lovely flashing lights, and he started getting all red and his body stiffened up. I thought he was fucking around with me since I was already winning, so I suplexed his character to death.

And then I realized he wasn't joking and I called 911.

Worst hangout ever.

Goddamn, the first time I read that I thought you said you suplexed his ass because you thought he was fucking with you. Pretty rough story though, sucks for your friend. Thankfully, epilepsy is usually much easier to treat in males than females. Hope he's doing alright.
 
Holy shit this game. My friend who's super into it has been playing bot matches with me and it's just designed to trigger the joy portions of your brain.

It's like a drug!

They plan accordingly, but they can't plan for DDoS and long games. They also have to give the kids some time for school, practice, and jobs too. I think it's done reasonably well.

Wait till you play alchemist. Once you play another hero, it's like where is all the gold sound??? Need my *diddle-ing*

Tactical series switch - Mouz vs Kaipi might be delayed till tomorrow. Mouz playing Dig = live

While suplexing him would have been awesome, he's actually a lot bigger and stronger than I am. One of those military dudes now. And yeah, he's doing just fine, hasn't had an episode since thankfully. It's strange because it doesn't seem to run in his family at all. None of his parents or grandparents or sisters have epilepsy.

popped a sweet-ass Enchantress ult earlier. I auto-attacked at max range and the target got Skewered away while the spear was traveling, guy got wrecked

Concept is pretty good but his modeling skills look a bit garbled or something... I think the wings especially need some work.
Everything looks really lumpy -- even the knife!
Concept is all you can really hope for. Things never look that great in-game even max resolution and max settings.

Haven't played for 2 months and I started playing back today. Been trying the new characters. I'm awful with skywrath mage. You need an ally with a good stun or freeze spell to use your ulti or you waste it.

You have to be able to anticipate what your enemy is doing too because you have the slow.

Picking off a channeler or someone autoattacking is just as effective.

So I bought the compendium for the bonus and the courier. But I am interested in watching the series as well. Where can I go to get caught up on teams? Rivalries? I would like to fill out my picks but would like to have some basis for them.

www.joindota.com for streams, has a team and player ranking as well (under the archive tab at the top)


Also I played TA today and went for threads, yasha, bkb, manta this time. Instead of the old phase, blink, deso build. Oh man it's so much better, you seriously lack so much stats with the blink build.

Tried to join a team match game and now none of us can play.

The find match button has disappeared. Nice. Nice.

Not at all. Wisp/Batrider are the two safest picks for most banned.

Batrider was my pick, as I've seen wisp make it through all the bans and picks, but batrider is always first pick if he isn't banned. Against an early 5 man push strat, wisp is not as useful. Wisp is also much less prominent in the eastern scene.

Batrider seems to be one of the few heroes that can find a role in any team comp against any type of strategy on the opposing team, as he can lane anywhere or farm jungle, and he's useful in 5v5 teamfights as well as roaming ganks, and has decent push/anti push...
