Lion's scepter gives you 175 more damage and costs 25 less mana at level 3. I think every scepter upgrade listed so far has been better than that. At least you could see some situational uses for the others, I can't see any situation where I'd spend 4200 gold for Lion's upgrade.
ogre magi's upgrade lets you waste a ton of mana for "burst" damage purposes when an eblade does the job but better and conserves like 300 mana.
Oooh good point...might try that on Ogre...nice one...
Not saying that scepter on ogre is great, but Lion's has to be worse. At least on ogre you get more than 175 damage for your money.

Easier to assemble/cheaper. And you can multi-cast the extra spell.
Situational either way, but I wouldn't go Ethereal Blade unless my team was balling. Same deal as with an Ethereal on Nyx.

I am never trying to stack with any other site other than gaf.
Terrible terrible games. Mostly with asshole germans.

Which site? I find that the Giant Bomb DOTA group is generally pretty friendly but they're magnitudes behind GAF when it comes to skill level..
SteveWinwood

Magnitudes is an understatement. And it was only one guy, but yes overall very friendly.
Still not what I really wanted out of my time I had this afternoon.

Yeah, I much prefer Refresher Warlock over Scepter Warlock. The only reason I'd consider the Scepter is for the additional health; Scepters really do provide a substantial health boost. Warlock has great built-in strength gain for a support, though.
Yep. He's even a standard first round pick for some of the teams.

Why would you pick up DK over any other common carry though?

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
So, anyone else?
If LGD beats rattlesnakes I'll be 3/4 for predicting the qualifiers. Maybe I should start betting.
That's what my predictions are for east. Hype

Going to a game 3.
My heart. My rares. Can't handle.
Eastern teams often run him as mid. You don't really pick him as a pure 1. He's typically going to be seen with probably a Lone Druid or Juggernaut as part of a pushing core. The reason being he does okay in mid (about as good as a Magnus with bottle crow), the ranged stun in dragon form is good, and of course green dragon poison for bringing down towers.

He used to do radio.
If you ever thought 3.2 million was realistic, you were mistaken.Going to need a third match :O
Also it seems compendium sales have slowed down. At this rhythm I'll never get my immortal item

- level 6 dragon kills towers
- huge armor/regen
- throw on a shadowblade and lifesteal lvl16 frost/splash
I thought 2.6 million was realistic watching how well it was going back then. I don't care about voting for the next hero to be added that much.

It was a front-loaded thing as far as sales go. Unless they find a brand new way to incentivize the Compenduim such that people who don't buy items will suddenly agree to drop $10 now...it'll never get there. I'd say 80% of the people who were going to buy one already have. Maybe they'll add yet more incentives. Maybe they'll reduce the price for those buying more than one to $4. Maybe something else. Idunno. They can add new pages to the Compenduim at will. But those sales numbers will plateau very, very soon if nothing changes, as I expected. Especially after the window for making predictions closed up.
I almost went that, and instead went LGD 1st and Vicki 2nd. Derp.

It sounds as if we have played the same game. Did you play Bloodseeker?
Edit: No, in fact, in my game, people had chosen in the first few seconds.

Yeah once this Morph has Linken's he's going to be unkillable...
Though I suppose it won't matter if the rest of his team dies.

This is also a picture guide to dewarding. Once you understand that, then warding is much easier. You want vision and hiding, while also knowing how to find the opponent's wards so they can't see.
You can't really have warding without dewarding.
Unkillable!!

Not really. Slasher will have some boring interviews and compare LoL to Dota.

Can I get a mod that turns it into a bear courier instead?
Also - apparently there's some sort of "player card" item, with the same icons that pennants have.
Full-fledged fantasy Dota for TI3? Shit's gonna get wild.
