honestly tho, I don't feel like theres good counterplay vs slark. I think the hero needs a complete rework. Here's what I got so far:
This sounds like a hero Hylian would be amazing at
keep him blue. but maybe make him human-like. With a chinese bowl hat. give him a beard as well

I'm hopping they change the moogle. At least give it something to hold.

He's up there but I'd rather fight him than techies or bloodseeker.

It always feels good when you take advantage of the pub mentality of "farm and kill but never push" and just secure a tonne of farm for your Void and just wreck them late game.
EDIT: Elder Titan and Faceless Void IS SUCH A FANTASTIC COMBO.

Late to the party but even if the kick was reasonable, PPD could have used some restraint in his words there.

I hope this PPD statement brings an end to all the aui-got-kicked-omg talk.
I am sick of it.

Aui did an interview with Thorin that should be out soon, so it's not going away any time soon.

If Aui had not questioned the stupid Razor pick and Dark Seer bans, maybe games would have been lost in the grand finals... It is stupid drafts which make games harder.
ppd sounds salty because someone questioned his mistakes in the WB finals.
Basically, you have to obey and "keep a composure" in the booths...

but razor was a plop pick so maybe they need to listen to Aui.
i dont know what im talkinga bout.

because he was the one who flamed ppd after the game? therefore the chance of ppd being the one who picked that shitty hero is way higher.
it doesn't really matter, eg will go into oblivion like most of the other ti champions.
Well... it works doesn't it? EG has been a top contender ever since PPD joined and took over captaining/drafting duties, despite their roster changing on multiple occasions. His job is to win games and lead his team, not to be mr. nice guy with everyone. I think multiple pros have come out and said having a multitude of voices trying to influence the draft/strat isn't exactly great as you end up with a jumbled mess rather than one draft, one vision, one strat to execute, and the whole one voice/direction philosophy definitely seems to work for EG.
I didn't really get that he hates input/criticism from that blog, he just wants it given at the appropriate time--aka when they are developing strats before games. It is fucking annoying to have prepared, worked on, and probably practiced a strat as a team for weeks and then have that one guy (who you have to wait for him to take a breath if you want to get a word in) just start losing his shit and whining about it seconds before go time.
It's almost like EG as a team (not just PPD) decided to boot Aui for legitimate reasons, but obviously didn't want to list those reasons in the official memo out of respect for the player in question. Sadly, the mob hate train demanding answers and pitchforking kinda forced their hand.

At first it was just a feeling. Then I read that ppd is a notorious Razor drafter.
but they won their biggest events with Aui and it sounds like the problems with Rtz stemmed from the same issues (ppd not wanting to listen to Rtz advice)
e:
So when exactly did Valve release the player comms? Can anyone link me ?
They also won their biggest events with sumail... and fear.... and universe... and PPD. All we know from the ppd/rtz dynamic was that rtz and ppd had disagreements on certain heroes, but well, look who is slinking back to his old team/captain and calling himself stupid for leaving. RTZ has beat himself up now interviews, saying they could've worked out their issues quite easily and that he was selfish, and PPD also said he wish rtz had come to him so they could work things out. We know nothing else about their dynamic outside of this.
They seem like good friends now, and it shows in the blog post when PPD mentions old EG felt a lot more energetic, friendly, and fun--they all meshed well together despite getting 3rd place (with mason no less, come on that's a fucking achievement). Aui apparantly caused more problems and stress for the team despite their victories (both with his style of play and his personality), and so he got voted off the island.

Honestly out of all the people in the Dota scene, I've always seen ppd as one of the least horrible.
