I'd watch that ... If it came with a courier.
Where do you even find this stuff man? haha.
What I mean is that she's a succubus is she not?
Maybe Wraith King will be Winter Wyvern. Though the texture really does look like a reskinned Skeleton King.

Haha, what if Winter Wyvern is Jakiro's mama?
what the hell is morton
is it a blue chip company
she's the king of elze's dom that was summoned by a demonologist at his request because apparently the king of elze can't find a dom outside the immaterial realms of existence
she was so good at being his dom that he stopped doing kingly things and became a victim of regicide

A friend wanted to play today with me, he was in the abandonment pool. First time I ever played there.
Never again. Good lord.
Never again. Good lord.
yeah.. I did one game in there. One was enough.
Low priority pool.
Not even twice.
Ok, THIS was the Elder Titan I was born to play. Doing God's work!

That doesn't work anymore, other players cant see what you type if it starts with a dash

No hats. Even the people who import items in to the Dota 2 database have gone off to make Half Life 3.

Likelihood: High.
I mean when Portal 2 had hats for some unknown reason when the multiplayer has minimal replayability...
Yeah that's the one I'd prefer, but some extra valvebux would sweeten the deal.
Medusa is pretty boring sorry.
I guess Lina got the rack in THAT family

Vent:
I'm starting to feel like I'm cursed to never get more than 35 wins over an even win/loss ratio (solo queue). I'll be on +34, win the game easily, and then the players on my team in the next game will be uncooperative, uncommunicative, and just generally playing the game like trench players rather than the reasonable and logical human beings I've become accustomed to in the the higher levels of matchmaking.
First game of the day (34 wins):
- Good lane composition. Duo safe (alch/lesh) with Furion jungling, Pudge mid, and myself as mirana in the suicide lane. Enemy team has some ridiculous 4 int lineup + Medusa doing level 1 ancients which they play WAY too aggressively and get punished. Leshrac immediately buys sentries and blocks ancients when I point out what 'Dusa is up to about 2 minutes in. They get rolled in about 30 minutes.
Second game of the day (35 wins):
- Enemy team gets OD, Ench, and Jakiro so I pick Pugna as a counter and ask for a solo lane. My whole team randoms, giving us TA/Meepo/CK/CM. Meepo goes mid and CK/CM go safelane. So the TA comes with me. Not at all an ideal setup but part of playing solo queue is working around these little speedbumps.
Here's where I get frustrated: Hardlane TA bought boots/stick/1 tango with his random gold, a build that gives him very little chance of surviving or lasthitting anything against Jakiro/Slark with enchantress roaming out of the jungle. He still wasn't paying attention to the ward I'd placed in the jungle when Ench ran straight past it and killed him. He then rushed Skadi, by which I mean he had Skadi/Phase/wand at 40 minutes. Meanwhile CK was complaining about lag and bought Battlefury as his first major item for reasons that are unclear to me given that he didn't get it that quickly and their hardest carry was a Slark. CM spent the entire game splitfarming and getting picked off by Slark, while trying to buy a blink and a shadowblade.
I was trying to encourage the team to simply group up and push the enemy team over, which we could have done since OD or Ench didn't have a BKB so they had no way to avoid eating damage from my nether ward, and we had the far better CC/teamfighting spells, but my team was fixated on either farming up another useless item or diving the enemy past towers and dieing to the TP support that came in. At no point outside of the laning phase was there any hint of teamwork beyond several people gravitating to the little skirmishes that kept happening on their side of the river and then getting picked off by the entire enemy team.
I've been matched up with teams like this many a time, but not since I was in normal/high level MMR. What's weird to me is that it feels like this pattern of good team/bad team is getting repeated regularly, and I always seem to get one or two abysmal players on my team when I hit the 35 win mark.

You're pretty boring!
This Medusa is boring bandwagon? I am totally on it.
Sorry but afklolfarming for 45 mins while the rest of your team dies in teamfights just does not fly. At least AM can use his superior mobility to get out of the jungle and mana void once in a while. Medusa just pops out with a Linkens and pretends she's doing shit but really isn't at all.

No mobility, ez nuke, 2 toggles, press buttan ult.
Farm, get items, then r-click.
SORRY BRAH WE ALL CAN'T LIVE IN THE SLOW LANE
I felt this way trying to maintain a 10 win spread.
I just gave in to randoming and SD/RD/AR to learn the game better.
Also a bit of leadership can go a long way in pub games. Like I'm pretty new, but even just talking and getting at least 1 other person organized can help a lot. Still, terrible item starts that let you get lane bullied for 10 minutes usually suck.
Pick a carry next time
Feels good when:
4-man stack
Need a split pusher
NP is in pool
Your random picks NP and plays well
You should TP to team fights, but it doesn't change it really.
And her attack speed
Me throwing stones at a lake is faster than her attack speed after 30 minutes

If you're not freefarming it's the only thing that gives you any lane presence.

I think you get mystic snake if you're being contested more and want to try and harass opponents out of lane (or just counter harass.) If things are going swimmingly, you can skip it for the stats build.
I don't have much experience playing Medusa myself though, and I've never had a chance to try ancients with her. Need to get around to that sometime, but it always seems a bit risky.
Wait, changed your steam password? Doing so prevents steam trading for like 15 days iirc.

iG have been doing well post-shuffle. DK have been doing better.
Every little detail counts.
First HUD that beats default imo. Bought.
Wait, really? I could have sworn I posted trades since the password change. Oh well.
In my experience, ppl who I've tried to trade with who've changed their passwords recently couldn't trade for awhile. I'm assuming it's there to protect stolen accounts for a period of time as the most popular thing phishers would do with stolen tf2 and dota 2 accounts would be to instantly sell/trade valuable items away.
