That would make her the most overpowered support in the game. You would never be able to escape from a CM with her root + slow. Her ms is literally her only weakness as a support hero.

edit:
global lane adv./impact? check
root/disable? check
slow? check
nuke? check
aoe ulti with a nuke and an anticarry debuff? check

What if frostbite pierced bkb? Fuckin' A.
 
On such a horrible losing streak atm.. Just keeping ending up in games where the opposing team slowly gains the upper hand and their combo stomps my team in team fights :(

Then let me pose this question: Are some (pub) games simply unwinnable from the start? If you are playing Single Draft, and the other team gets completely stacked on their choices, while you are stuck with 25 Crystal Maiden-tier supports/garbage Morphling-tier carries, one would think there is no feasable way to win the game, right?

Not really, skill and team work can easily trump better picks. You are only assuming a situation where both teams are perfectly even in skill. In standard pubs a hero like Morphling is pretty good because pubs have a hard time killing heroes with escapes.

My Morphling is glorious and retains all the presence of the TI2 version.

Just say no to bloodstone. The only thing it really gives you is mana, and with how cheap his chakram is now before 16, you reaaally don't need it.

Rob, Arcane Boots, Rod of Atos, Sheep is how I build him these days. Give him items that solve his weakness of no actual disables. Euls is a good alternative if you're poor. Force staff is good on him as a luxury.

I've tried this build a few times just now, and it feels like I have substantially less mana and I'm much easier to kill than before. Maybe I'm just not using the actives on sheepstick and atos very well.
 
I wish there was something else they could do when someone abandons early, or just in general, it is so annoying. It'd be cool if a bot took over but I guess that would be unfair and wouldn't really work. But still... It ruins the game for everyone

How about if low priority people were only allowed to enter games with abandons, and take over the abandoned heroes?

To me it feels like a lot of the less experienced players don't have excellent mana management, which is why bloodstone feels so attractive to them. It's also possible that your team compositions aren't as good and you're the only person with arcane boots on your team. Hard to say without watching any replays!

Well I'm bad, so it's probably the former. I got a taste of that sweet bloodstone, now I'm used to spamming all the time. I'll try it a few more times while trying to focus more on using the actives on the items.

Bloodstone is one of those items GAF hates; you'll hear that you should never build it on any hero, not even Storm Spirit. Maybe they're right and it's a bad item in high-level play, but I believe that for most players it's fine. It offers a lot more than just mana regeneration: 500 health, solid health regen, easy buildup, and Bloodpact. Over the course of a game Bloodpact can provide significant team healing, save you a lot of gold, allow for post-death experience, and get you back on your feet much faster. Dying while losing no gold, instantly respawning, and being able to Boots of Travel right back into a teamfight is so much fun.
 
Never mind, our Enigma died purely to a tower and Shadow Demon abandoned. I don't blame Shadow Demon because that Enigma dying to the tower like that was absolute garbage and we were already behind. I was getting shat on in my lane and couldn't get any farm too. It was over in about 5 minutes.

Never happens with HoN.

LoL still up.

Can't get a game started. My queue pops with a message "Finding Server" and a timer, but it never finds a server.

I'm guessing things are down at the moment?
