Yes, you need an Origin account. Says so at the bottom of the page

Edit:
Holy balls, NaVi slark wrecking everyones shit. Treant so OP
 
Fuck now I need to install origin to make fun of this dumb thing.

Edit: Or not?

2nd edit: Yeah you don't need origin, just your account because ea likes to do it that way. And this launcher looks practically the same as lol's downloader/launcher thingy.

3rd edit: I'm ready for ya ea

That thing in the middle is qt.

I may have to play this.
 
Played a second game of anti-mage today and I ended with 20-8. Was great fun for the most part.

I was owning my lane with skeleton king but the rest of our teammates were a bunch of morons. Lost the top 2 towers in 15-20 minutes and fed faceless void like hell. We got close to winning but faceless/witch just decimated us in team fights.

Throw in some nice moments where single players on our team ran into their whole group and you have a sure fire loss.

So fun yet infuriating.
 
Okay I have to vent something here. It absolutely blows my mind, how every single time I take faceless void in random draft, people will take additional melee carries.

It happens without fail. It's as if they see a faceless void and their brain melts and they stop thinking. They'll take alchemist, they'll take anti mage, they'll take sven. Anything. So long as I take faceless void it is guaranteed someone else will take another melee carry. Do people not think about how ults work and game mechanics? I mean come on.

But their spells all work in the chrono?

Let's say I get my ult off and get a lot of them in it. What are they going to do. Only cast their one spell for 4-5 seconds? They can't autoattack because they can't enter the sphere. This is different from a ranged carry who gets 4-5 seconds of free autoattacks. One is clearly the superior choice. Not to mention two melee carries means you are throwing one in the harder to farm lane which generally makes laning harder. That's why it's a horrible decision.

This is your own fault for throwing out bad chronos.

If you catch the enemy on the edge of the chrono(and not in the middle)your team can just run up and pound away at them no problem

Go practice on bots in WTF mode, because a Void who chronos his whole team is a Void thats going to Low Priority

I've seen that name before. He added me and I didn't know why so I declined, as I decline all unsolicited friend requests from people I don't know (and especially those with private profiles). I wonder what he wanted.

installed and ready.
 
Guys, I think he means getting the enemy team in the chrono, which means that melee heroes on his team aren't gonna be doing much to them inside the sphere.

I meant a lot of the ENEMIES. NOT a lot of my allies. Reread my example with that in mind. Now does it make sense why ranged carries are a superior pick to have with a void on your team?

Ambiguous at best, but if so like Acinixys said, you need to aim better chronos so melees can hit too.

Are you making an argument that people should take melee carries with void on the basis that he is going to hit all of his chronos such that the key heroes to be attack are perfectly on the edge of the chrono? That's incredibly idealistic. When you are in a teamfight and you are ulting as void your primary objective is getting as many of the enemy inside it as possible. Perfectly getting some of their heroes at the perfect edge of the chrono so that your melee carries can also dps is them is ridiculous. I mean do people at the very least understand the point I am making that its overall a better choice to not have multiple melee carries on a team when you have a void based on the opportunity cost of not having a ranged carry?

I can understand being frustrated if your team is dumb and runs into the Chrono, disabling themselves. As myself and shira said, you need to use your chrono more wisely. Get the enemies on the edge and all your teammates can join in on the fun.

If you play void you must expect to sometimes hit a useless chrono where the only person who can do anything is you
 
I redeemed a code thinking i would be able to register and download when i get home

stupid , it tries to download now without registering :( hopefully there will be some left when i get home. Im up for trying anything

I typed out a long essay, but yes, i agree that 5 meele heroes on a team with a Void is pretty dumb.
