They have meracle.
Seriously? That doesnt even make sense
edit: oh, there is a typo, but I think it's supposed to be руби кромсай, which means Hack and Slash.

The community market.
Betting that it will be hard for people to get these cards. Most Dota players themselves started off Steam with just Dota, and most of my friends are only level 8 at most.

you cant have both?
Finally.
How much did that cost you?
I got 4 just today from idling?
I saw that Wisp play. That was fucking nuts. I still wonder how Wisp had that much cash laying around to just casually buy a Blink like that.
This and that game against the tryhard stack last night made me wonder: How exactly do you deal with a Wisp with something deadly like a Chaos Knight, Tiny, Sven, or whatever? I would think the answer is "Watch the clock to know when Relocate is off cooldown and don't get caught out.", but that's just the problem. They're not going to use Relocate unless they can see you and you still won't know when the Relocate is coming and you'd never leave the tower. I would guess it would mostly be used to pick off supports, but they have to go ward and stuff. They can ask for someone to go with them, but early game this can be an issue as it would mean that someone else would also have to leave lane to do it every single time, and this could be the carry who needs to focus on farming. Should you just focus on trying to counter the hero that Wisp is going to bring? Be able to nuke the shit out of Wisp so he can't bring his buddy back?

If you're playing support, there'll be very few item builds to follow. Courier, flying as soon as possible, wards and counter-wards, get a mek, go pipe if needed, if you have too much gold (and god knows why you'll have that much gold on AA), get the Vyse, Euls, force staff... He benefits a lot from Athos, as he can land his skills better. But all supports are almost the same.
Finally.
I just need Phantom Lancer, Tusk & Vengeful Spirit.
I have two Bounty Hunter. =/ EDIT: Realized how dumb this statement was, because everyone gets 4 cards. LOL

I just do stats and spam nuke. One of the funnest ults in the game.

Well they never gave up. At least they honest about themselves.

What are those cards for again? I got a bounty hunter card, and uh-hu.
Do this a lot.
Seriously though, build him as a support. Possibly an Urn if things are going well, but it's not a necessity and if someone else on your team wants to get urn, let them get it. Go Mek, and then stuff like Euls or Scythe if you ever get the farm for it.
I don't get why people go Treads on him, I prefer Arcane Boots.

Spear of the Phantasm by nannou & robo
More like Protoss Carrier on a stick.
You can only do that if you winning. If you losing that is so sad panda

That's one nice looking spear. I have 4 of them, and they all look almost the same.

Hey guys, I'm going to put on my flamesuit, but last night in a pub I went against my first Riki.
He was able to get super fed during lane by the rest of my team. I did well early as Templar Assassin at bottom, but by the time Riki started showing up anywhere on the map, he was basically one shotting.
We started with wards and dust, but he was too fed to be killed.
What am I to do in this situation? I am not good enough in the beginning to stop someone from getting fed in another lane, so does that mean I'm just screwed?
Also: Is there not a team 'gg' vote? If I remember correctly, LoL has one and it's very helpful for games where you're just getting skunked.

Mouz played well there vs. Fnatic. They've been much improved lately.
Riki is known for being like this - it's very easy for him to take over games and snowball out of control because new players don't have the knowledge and experience for how to shut him down before he threatens. It's also entirely possible that he just shit on his lane opponents and if that's the case, there's really nothing you can do, even if you were farming really well until then.
Basically, though, if you're in a different lane and playing a carry (which TA is), your job is to just get as many creep kills as possible.
Some people who are new don't understand how vital it is to get as many creep kills as possible. My friend thinks I'm joking when I say you should be disappointed with anything less than 90% of every creep wave when you're in the safe lane as a hero like Naix, PL or AM. TA would qualify too, even though she's not really traditionally a side lane hero (early levels from solo exp in mid give her a huge leg up).
You should just pick heroes like Bloodseeker, Riki, Spiritbreaker, the ones that poop on lower level players. Stick with those guys until you feel like you've moved up to a better tier of player, then you can worry about strategizing when your teammates aren't useless spunkbubbles.

Sadly, you can't stop your teammates from feeding until you climb up to a higher level. Just forget it and move on. Or pick Riki next time.
Nope.
ITS A LANCE. A lance. Thats why hes called Phantom Lancer and not Phantom SPEARER

Ok, well, at least that is good to know. Probably not going to pick Riki though. =)
Dang at not being able to end the match through voting.
Also: If you abandon a match that is "safe to leave" do you still have a chance for drops? I've been sticking it out until the end for some masochistic reason.
Finally.
Wow...
Did you buy them from the market? Or you keep spending $9 on the store and hope for drops?

Yep like 10 hours ago, and then in about 14 hours from now.
I guess it's because of different timezone that the schedule is so incompatible with mine. I'm in NA and these are the eastern qualifiers after all.Dreams-Visions

I still don't understand what the hell these are or what they're for.

What are hats for?

give me your cards then

Hats are in-game cosmetic items that you can "wear" on your chosen hero during a match.
Again, I'm still not clear on the reason for or purpose of these cards. I wasn't being facetious; I just don't fucking know. If you can clarify instead of being an ass, please do.
Sure, do I have some? I don't even know where they appear.

You have to be in the Steam Beta that requires a key to activate.

Are these foils really getting sold for that much? How do you get foils anyways?
