It's a LoL clone but you can't customize your experience by buying new heroes. Plus you can't use your spells as much so what's the point. Shit game. New MOBA please!

Ugh... think I'll stick to Battle for Graxia...
 
Never mind, EternalEnvy?I'll have to listen to this later.

I was optimistically hoping that was a typo meant to be "ET" I would have said wtf, but that would be awesome.
 
Can we have the OP updated with news instead of "How to play"? I think it's great to have a newbie guide but that could be in a seperate thread, I get annoyed seeing the neogaf thread having a title indicating the update, then having to google it :/
 
DAMN THEYRE SO SAD

Just wasted a year of his life and another shot at immortality

funny how the only time when tobi is right is when he's on MAAD

I don't see how anything he said is right aside from scrims are meaningless in determining teams. Everything else he's said just comes off as him being overly antagonistic and playing devil's advocate to standout from all the pro players.
 
It's funny to see the iCCup hate, when they are probably the most fun teams to watch, same as DTS2011 was (which had funn1k).

That switching to players who have been proven to be good on lan deserves it more than random inhouse heroes is what I'm referring to.
 
Oh man the Elder Titan sleep is such bullshit. Amazing setup for so many things. Shackles, Skywrath ultis, etc.

Still beat a team that had him, Magnus, and Sven though. Did dunk on us a few times, but TA was a good pick. Ended up going vs. Windrunner mid which was unexpected - was hoping to dominate the Mag or ET, but whatever. Faceless Void on our team was a good counter.
 
Just random'd Visage a bit ago, thought I was going to do horrible then...



Must've been some bad people we were up against.

I love me some Visage. Played him twice over the last week. Did pretty well both times. We won the first game, and lost the second only because our KotL abandoned shortly after the 10 minute mark. We held out for over an hour 4v5. We had a Warlock and a really farmed Luna (M0B). We were against a team that involved a not as farmed (but still pretty farmed) Alchemist, Profit, and Nyx. For only being 4v5, we held out really well.
I was picking people off with the familiars, setting up ganks with them, timing the stuns after a Warlock ult to ensure teamfights.

Visage is so underrated. Good starting point to learn to micro too, since the familiars fly over things.

Subscribe to the thread. That way Artanisix gets more money from EviLore.
are they seriously not adding those sets this week?

There's even art advertising them on the matchmaking screen...

Prolly another miniupdate some time in the near future.

You'll hear it if you aren't looking at EE talking.

He has typical 1st/2nd gen american/asian pronunciations with short panicky breaths when he is upset. You sound like a white person through and through, idk might be wrong.

Typically if you see a new thread change, just hop on to the latest page of the thread and people will be discussing it.
 
I took another look at the Elder Titan artwork and the concept arts we have seen so far.


That big thing on the left on the background I think is Abyssal Underlord.


Abyssal Underlord does have the appearnce of being pretty huge, but more importantly, that thing on his back. I think that's his weapon. See the concept in the lower right of this picture? The weapon looks awfully similar to what's on his back in the ET artwork.


I looked at Abaddon, and while Abaddon has a horn as well, his appearance is smaller, and it doesn't look like anything is riding on it's back.

Now begs the question, who is that standing in front of the big (possibly Abyssal Underlord) thing? I think it's just part of Legion Commander's legion.


The telling thing here is the helmet design. That figure in front of the big one appears to have a similar helmet. as the one Legion Commander has on both in the game's files, the concept art, and what we see in the Elder Titan artwork.
 
This watch game queue or whatever is weird. Won't let me actually watch shit.

"Watch Game Status - Waiting to watch game..."

and it never goes through. "Could not watch this game at this time."

Volvo pls fix.
 
By the way, does anyone know if the Elder Titan spirit gets true sight if you have a gem? Would be kinda OP since it's invulnerable and you can scout around with it. Could definitely see this hero being very scary in competitive, especially for breaking bases/standstills.

And apparently the stomp is bugged currently so it's even better than it's supposed to be.
 
Smurf (at least) 4-man premade vs. my solo queue with no one in a group.

Da fuck you supposed to do vs. a Pudge that first bloods an offlane and has supports camping runes for him? Of course he also gets only hastes while I get regen and illusions. Sigh.

Dota 2 MM is such a joke sometimes.
 
*Middle of fight as Spirit Breaker*

*Three enemy heroes focused on me*

*Get them all down to very low health before dying myself, relax, assuming rest of team will finish them*

*rest of team is dead*

What the fuck? How did four other team members die to a Clockwerk and a Vengeful Spirit?
 
Ahh, new thread! I don't post enough to be on the wall of shame, but I follow this thread a lot.

I feel bad for EE too. Created NTH and then gets kicked from it and doesn't even get a chance at redemption through qualifiers? That's tough. I'm not even that psyched for the qualifier teams to be honest. EG or Empire for West qualifier and Vici Gaming or Mineski (
PINOY PRIDEEEE
) for East. Although I haven't seen the results of Mineski, I'm assuming they won't be as strong as the Chinese teams. But for the most part, the teams I'm most excited to watch have already been invited.
