captains mode is fun, people playing it are pretty terrible. Between a Drow and Death Prophet who do you get to go mid?

Or Witch Doctor shit nobody fucking wants.
Oh! so a SB actually started doing this to you too? :lol
Last time I played against SB, after messing some of his solo ganks on me he actually did this to me just to make sure I cant disable him anymore. I actually called him on this, so fun to mess so much with someone that they actually need to waste precious seconds of bkb.

and PL lances or Omni bracers
I have so many Omni hammers. 3-4 of the same rare too (though most of those were from betting).

Yeah I was playing Disruptor. he charged me first after every fight past the second or so lol
Or don't give him vision during charge, or make it uncancellable. Anything that'll stop him from being a global heatseeking missile and rewards good team play.
If Legion Commander was in you could put them in the cage and have her beat him up

It's simple, we get the Techies to put mines all along the river and whatnot. NOWHERE WILL BE SAFE TO CHARGE.
Sounds almost viable.
animation and "gameplay" vid now up for Carty if anyone is interested!

Oh wow Captain's Draft is full of really nice and communicative people. Where has this been? Everyone had input in the draft and got to play a hero they wanted, there was actual strategy and talking. Everyone had a great time.
Also I get to say that according to dotabuff I am one of 2000 people to buy skadi on chaos knight.
DP is a great mid.

So I guess you werent around where the charge was magic inmune?
It used to indicate that you are being charged a long time ago too, they they changed it so you get a debuff only when he was close (2500 units) and now it doesn show
Also, if i was disruptor, I would have drop the ult and barrier where I was just before he hits to mess with his retreat. I would still be dead without a euls.

Also more item variety in the drop system is always a good thing. Getting really cheap sets is cool too.

Why you guys wanna make sb not fun no more?
Twitch wasn't working for a minute, is back now by the way.
That's why I never solo que.
I think i've done it twice, and it sucked so bad.... never again.
When I play with friends I go back to normal bracket (not that I can know now with the last patch). I feel either the games are too easy or the extra players in the team are throwing hard.
Not really but seriously, I dont have a bad time in solo queue all the time

Hey, who wants to spend $400 on a Juggernaut sword?

Heal and shield allies, if your hp pool is not that high try to not be in the middle of the battle.
You do need to get in and do some damage here and there. Also if you are getting focused use your ult early, it generally takes the enemy by surprise and they heal you a bit. Sometimes is good to help by unsing coil on enemies, the range is long and you can deactivate a dagger if they are trying to escape.
You cant cast shield if they are magic inmune (bkb)

Alternatively charge in and see if they're moronic enough to keep attacking you through Borrowed Time.
If yes, become the team's initiator and let your buddies clean up.

Can't wait.
Might even have that possibility before TI4, maybe, or not.
Do we know how auto draft will work ?

Man, I wish Silencer had more items than that goofy set. The only cool parts are the shield and bracers.
But 34 cents later and my Silencer looks cool.
I am spending too much money (about 75 cents) topping off load outs I wanted to finish for awhile.
Finally got that Dazzle headdress I wanted for awhile. Probably going to look for some Bounty Hunter items later.
I love this update. It makes lazy people who hate trading happy because I can get items for <1 dollar.

The existing stuff has been dropping for years. This way we get a complete refresh and have the chance to earn newer items.

What's funny is my last two games people still got Axe items.
You'll never escape Axe items muwahahahaha

Being stuck on Finding Server forever is still the least fun dota

tell me about it, it's so addicting. I even completed the Drow Ranger set because I already had 2 drops from it and it was just 10 cents to finish it and I don't even play Drow
also pimping out my Kunkka

I need some help with late game item decisions. I'm perfectly able to decide what I should build into until around the 45 min mark, but when games get really long and the list of items I can get gets longer I don't know how to decide what to go for. These 2 games are the perfect example:
http://dotabuff.com/matches/320497946
I played Lina support. I think I made the right decision with most of the items, but I was really iffy on getting the refresher, and just got it because I liked the idea of 2500 burst damage. What should I have gotten instead?
http://dotabuff.com/matches/317056303
Anti-Mage. Again, I'm pretty sure those are the items I should get, but I also had a ton of gold I didn't know what to do with besides buyback. Should I have gotten rid of the Battle Fury for an Abyssal or something? Also, when six-slotted, should I get the aegis or should I leave it for someone else? I decided to let someone else take it.
It isn't as intimidating as Captain's mode because of the limited pool of heroes, and you can ban out any heroes you don't like playing against. Also, there's some improvisation needed because of the limited pool, and that's a lot of fun as well.

I hope diretide has that absurd drop rate like it had last year. Going to be pumped to get new items.

I don't need it for the items, I genuinely liked Diretide.
That burst on Lina is good; but don't forget to use your other skills/items before refresher so they refresh as well. Travels for sure would have been an upgrade, and even a BKB (which isn't really the best Veno...) would have been ok. Utility is always good, so if you're over flowing with cash don't underestimate more silence/lockdown and maybe pick up an Orchid.
I don't feel you need the BKB on AM. If they're going to blow everything on you, then the rest of your team will just steam roll them. Plus, should you die, you can buy back and boots into the fight. Ultra late - like you said, drop the Battle Fury and Abyssal. If you go sans BKB you'll have room for Aegis - or you can just drop the BKB and get it after Aegis is used
