Welp, 800 GPM or more prediction is gone. Honestly didn't expect it, especially coming from a Tiny. Decent games today, interesting to see the underdogs do pretty well.

Still don't get why AL banned the sven in the second phase and not the tiny. Those mid bans did them no good. Glad DD won, they were the dreamhack winning mtw squad (minus Synderen) before mtw collapsed yeah?

slark and treant first-round banned?

fuck, now haly and i are going to get our favorite heroes nerfed.

This is exactly what happened with Morphling, PL, Naga, and Drow.

My favored heroes are just too good.

Same man. We're just the future. My Gyrocopter :((((((((((((((((((

I missed the Anuxi commercial. WHO HAS A VOD TO IT.

Oh god if Treant gets nerfed I will laugh so fucking hard and long

I will kill myself if this happens

cancer got nerfed? How, when. I missed it.

KOTL got nerfed and cancer without KOTL is a sad lion man.

Icefraud would probably give his ult or invis an inconsequential change that will nevertheless ruin his viability.

Fucking icefraud, how can such indirect nerfs be so damning?

I don't think you could make Tree's ult any worse...

I didn't get to catch the last game between AL and DD and will be watching it when I get home. How spoiler free is this thread or should I just stay away?
 
They should do something fun with overgrowth. Have each person in the aoe also have leech seed applied to them or something. It would A. Do something other than suck and B. Potentially incentivize skilling something other than max living armor asap if the leech seed was taken of the skill of it like Luna's ultimate.

Why stats at 2 but then no more until the end? Is 38 health and 26 mana that big of a deal?

It's that Cleave is undesirable so early on and Warcry isn't that useful either, although for an aggressive trilane you'll want Warcry then stats.

2 stats also means +2 damage which can mean a lot over the course of the laning phase.

Hm, I can see the damage being relevant, but my instinct is still that at least one level in Warcry is worth it if you suddenly need the MS bonus to stay alive. But I should try the build I suppose before judging.

It's probably worth getting Warcry at 2 as well.

Just do what you think is right. That's what I did when I wrote these and I wanted to help some people out.

If you think you do then you should get Warcry at 2, it's not set in stone.

Stats at 2 is just a general case. If you're up against like, AM+KOTL+SD it'll be very unlikely that you'll need to do a lot of running away, but Lesh + SD + PL is another matter.

geez i didn't know u were so scummy haly

I liked those heroes before they became FOTM.

Spectre too. But now she's like Slark. Underdog carry.

What can I say, I'm just naturally scummy.

Is there any kind of ECD on 6.78 other than "before the international"?

Also, while we're wishing, I'll throw in my own request. If I could have anything, it would be some sort of buff to Timbersaw. Dude just falls off so hard and is never really given the spacing he would need to dominate early by most teams. Love playing him though.
