isn't the desert the last place Kunkka would be? I mean, the set looks fantastic on Kunkka, but the theme is a little weird.

So word is from a contributor I know, Valve has sets they think they shipped but really didn't, and they're working on fixing that, so items will only be marked accepted if they're actually in-game.
Errr...
That would explain the half dozen accepted sets that aren't really in game. Just kind of weird they'd assume they shipped something that they didn't.
In case anyone was curious:
Dragon Scale HUD: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=152457873&searchtext=dragon
Ainidul the Eternal: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=148884143&searchtext=
Regalia of the Bonelord: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=152047147
Skywrath Nightwatcher: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=150601997
Armor of Shadows: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=111487571
Also this set is apparently confirmed to be one of the next shipping: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=111311018

Is going 4-1-10 with a supporting Windrunner decent when my team had 35 kills the entire game? I'm happy with only dying once (I die the least amount of times in most matches I play), but I feel like I should be involved in more ganks and teamfights. A lot of times I notice I forgot to get a TP and can't get to a teamfight or defend a tower on time. Need to work on that I guess.
Also in the last game at one point I had a force staff, Vyse, and phase boots, and I used them all a combined total of like 5 times. I use my skills at the times I need to, but with items I completely forget about them and don't use them to their fullest. Is playing more games going to solve this?

That dragon HUD is so awesome. It might have to replace my Clockwerk one.
Yes, no doubt about it. As you play more and more your mind will be more clear and it will be easier to remember your items.

I really dig these workshop updates both of you guys do (Fork and Ballad)
Keep it up!
I also really dig this loading screen concept that's floating around the workshop:

I dunno, helm looks kind of shit tbh. I don't like the blade/fin on the helm.
Looks like Queen of Pain with a Bow.

All I want is a Random Draft mode that gives you the full pool. All I want is that timing mechanism.
Hope Valve remembers to retroactivally give the Dragon Skin Hud to people who bought Quirt's Summer Bundle, since its featured in the promotional image and all.
so is Sing Sing for sure joining Kaipi? I think Eternal Envy said something but I kinda expected him to confirm it on twitter
Let the navi, orange rumors begin.
Also vp blowed up, rtz retired
So how long before rtz joins EG then?

Yea windrunner is a tough one for me, probably my lowest winrate (i'm at like 500 games by now and never do well with her).
Don't stress about your involvement in kills too much with her.....shes very adaptable to a number of situations, so if your team needs an offlane or whatever she can sit there and defend the tower just fine while everyone else ganks around or whatever. Its always good to keep a TP around though, and try to get to fights if they break out near towers/etc.
Btw I always put my most spammable item on spacebar (like phase for instance) since its really easy to bang on it.
If you're able to farm up sheepstick, you should try to use that as often as possible. Windrunner's spells have an...okay cooldown I guess, but in a teamfight she is really trying to position for an awesome shackelshot.
My problem is that I always blow the shackleshot and then try to just lay down damage on whatever seems like a good target :\

I forgot how stupidly hard and exhausting Team Matchmaking is. It's like that 1000 hours you learn at solo / party queue Matchmaking is just a easy mode tutorial when you enter TMM.
Definitely the best way to play Dota 2 though, although it makes me wonder how the hell Pros do it day in and day out.

I only really play consistently with 2 people, almost every day, and I think I work really well with one of them. I think it would be a blast to have 5 people all the time who you get to know really well (game wise, like how aggressive you want to be when and whatnot) and play with them.
Hear hear, would love to be part of a coordinated 5 man team.
Trying your hands at some crazy line ups/strats also sounds interesting

It really is. Our team isn't that great, but we managed to pull off a few wins via comebacks because we don't really believe in giving up halfway through a match. It's great having people you trust to Dota with.
It's also why a lot of players tend to change their mind over conceding in Dota. Comebacks are probably the best thing about game. We know that there are some unwinnable games but they're a few and between compared to the games that you can still win if you just try.
SHIIIEEET, guess I'm skipping work today.

Drawing one of your Anbokr fanfictions is not the same as drawing windrunner milk.

That's going to get super awkward with payments.
They also need to add the Elder Shield and Dragon Blood Ravager to the store. Valve is literally stealing a model, the Elder Shield dude doesn't even have a self made.
Lack of pressence in competitive gaming? Or maybe he just simply doesn't have enough appeal for carry player.
Nah I think people, especially ganker hero player just realized how squishy he is and how he actually an instant cash in for them. Slow mov and the lack of escape mechanism while there are no disable makes Sniper really subpar hero.

I'm not the only one lately that notices an overabundance of split pushing in pub matches after TI3 right?

A new post for a new page!
I guess I'll start in making a contest for this thread, and let's call it The Post International Depression Week Competition! The best drawing of Windrunner (again) will get this item from me!
The 2nd and 3rd place will get either a Dragon Forged Set for OD or an Unusual Divine Essence Speed Demon (2nd place gets to choose)! The contest will go on for a day starting from now!

i just got my dota shirt in the mail, and went to go sell the box on the marketplace.
why are people paying 50-60 bucks for these luckboxes?

I guess there is an uptick on it, but after playing it for 2 years it is nothing new. I just glad its only Natures Prophets and the good Tinker players are still in hiding.

Maybe pushing is just gonna be the next hot meta.
It'll be a nice transition with pugna coming in to counter the recent od shit, and also Troll Warlord going into captain's mode eventually. Also lesh can come back.
Pushing is fun.
People are silly.
Have definitely been seeing more NP's. They've all been pretty bad though.
Had one on my team, spent the whole game farming jungle and telling everyone else to push towers.
He ended up 2-9 with 300gpm.
we didn't win

what color is it?
5-game losing streak today.
Game 1 - Two idiots fed another Necrolyte to beyond godlike in 10 mins. One of them was a Troll Warlord who ended up 1-18 and was effectively the worst player I have ever seen. Lost a rax at 15 mins. Dicked around the fountain until the game ended at 25 min. Opposing Necro was 21-3 and Drow was 16-4. I was PA, 2-4.
Game 2 - THREE idiots fed the opposing team non-stop. Their K/D were 4-16, 1-11, 4-14 as Razor, Weaver and Sniper. I mean, how does a Weaver even die 11 goddamn times in a game? I went 4-6 as PA.
Game 3- This time, I had a decent team. Or so I thought. Start was promising with a CM doing the supporting shit like buying wards and courier. And then the game went on. We gave up a lot of ground and died a lot at first but we pulled back. CM kept stealing kills from myself and Tiny but whatever, we were doing good. I was PA and was carrying the team well in the mid to late game. We got their middle rax.
I got overconfident and died while trying to take their top T3. But my team wasn't supporting at all. Our Huskar was running back to base with FULL HEALTH just to pick up his BKB even though we had a goddamn flying courier. They pushed back and their PL split push and they got two of our rax.
We countered-pushed. CM said all mid. I didn't realize we only had three. Slarder was fighting ancients and Tiny was doing some shit in base. We went in. Huskar got snagged by Pudge. The fight was on. I jumped in to save his ass. He runs away with 3/4 health and went to attack some useless building (not a rax or tower) just a short distance away while myself and CM got raped by 5 heroes. Two of us died and he died shortly after. Tiny walks into the fight late and dies too while our Slardar was still fighting the goddamn ancients. WTF. I ended up the game 18-7.
Game 4 and 5 - First three games above were me solo. This time I had a full team of 5 but all of them were noobs who literally started playing Dota just a few weeks ago. One of them is a close friend who I've been playing with since he started recently. Needless to say, we got owned both games. Second game was especially bad and all 4 of them were feeding while I gradually came to the conclusion that the Sniper I was using was utterly useless (still ended up with a positive K/D of 8-7 though).
Getting really frustrating.
