It takes tree to tango.

I can't wait for when I get picked by you for ihl and get to hear dota puns all game.

 

[Hylian7]

I can only see the pre 6.76 variant on the Curse Wiki. That's honestly not much reworking for such an old skill.

http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Drow_Ranger#Replaced_abilities

That's right, they reworked both Marksmanship and Aura. I remember the patch when she was taken out of CM and Aura was toggleable. She was OP as all hell. Catapults might as well have become rail guns on wheels.

1) I'm not captaining

2) I play seriously when ingame

but also, did you see the new buff to Roshan? Killing him takes aegis

 

[kvk1]

Inkls you're hurting me

honestly it's so tiring just having a normal steam chat with him

 

[Hylian7]

If Dota is swimming, Tread switching is treading water.

as a poor WW it was the first item I bought.

 

[pompidu]

Anyone able to finish horde mode? Got pretty damn far with Sven but got overrun at the end. Starting to dig this custom game. Probably the best custom game atm.

Happy to announce that my buddy @Zai_2002 will be our official sub for upcoming tournaments/majors.

EG IS BACK

 

[Saprol]

does he get paid still for being the benchwarmer?

 

[yarden24]

been playing whenever I can and had notice that, at least for my tier (2600ish), people just don't have map awareness at all. I ping and told them so and so is missing and they can even see someone moving towards them on the mini map if they only just look. yet at the end it's just another free kill for the other team.

and some of their mentality is just terrible.

"I have no idea how to play this hero lol"

"then why you pick it?"

"lol it's easy game (I assume he mean it's unranked), doesn't matter lol"

(I left that game as soon as someone on the other team abandoned)

I would love to play with more GAFers too but with me on the road so much during the summer, it's kinda hard to schedule in something. plus most folks on my GAF flist are all pretty far passed me and have their own steady team.

I understand I'm not a great player by all means but at least I tried. I have good map awareness and play a decent support if people understand what my hero can do. but lately I've been leaning towards playing jungle heros more and more since that way I don't need to deal with the other "team mates" that much.

at least I had 2 pretty fun games last night thou. both of which seem pretty hopeless early on, especially the 2nd one since the Spirit Breaker disconnected half way and never come back. but sticking to it til the bitter end kinda paid off and we won both games at the end.

While the map awerness might change if you get up in mmr, the bad attitude will stay the same, I assure you.

 

[Drkirby]

God damn that could work out well, If Fear actually need Surgery, they can just swap him for Zai.

 

[Procarbine]

It's ok guys you can tell your friends you know me

 

[shira]

Tier 43? Can you put that in Dota terms

 

[Saprol]

i'm still level 54 and using trash gear on hard mode

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It's ok guys you can tell your friends you know me

what, the fuck? the season just started today and you're doing 44 GRs?

okay.

 

[Nymerio]

Man, if the weather here weren't so nice I'd be playing D3 all day. But it's so nice outside I gotta use the occasion to go biking.

 

[Procarbine]

Tier 43? Can you put that in Dota terms

It was more the rank 19, 43 not all that hard. Think top 200 kinda? But it's day 2 so it was all a luck contest, can't compete with the real nerds down the line.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

So, Gaming Paradise 2015 is in 2 weeks. You think Secret is ready for it Matt? If I remember right Envy would have just got back from Japan.

Well the tournament itself is pretty small, it's more of a case of bringing the team together before the big events hit in October.

 

[waxinlyrical]

Just had a game where me and my college friends went up against Draskyl and his subs.

http://www.twitch.tv/draskyl/v/13490121?t=297m0s

Was a close game but we managed to win at the end

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Draskyl doesn't know how to tread switch.

edit: ok he does

no he doesn't

 

[jew]

nice i tried to snipe draskyl but the people he plays with are too low mmr

 

[M.D]

man, valve really need to update the thumbnail for the old items

 

[Kard8p3]

man, valve really need to update the thumbnail for the old items

i use those custom icons p good m8

 

[Dreams-Visions]

You guys think the item and ability icons will ever receive small visual effects? Like a very slight cold steam coming off Drow's frost arrows? Or a slow blood drip coming from Bloodseeker's...everything?

 

[Kard8p3]

naw im sure ppl would cry about it being 2 distracting (which might b true idk)

 

[shira]

I hope they are doing this for the HTC-VIVE version of Dota
- rumble for stun, mini rumble for mini-stun, vibrate for slows
- different haptics for each hero's attack that also varies with the target (tower/creep/hero)
- each ability would be a crazy visual event in first person mode

Can you imagine being ruptured, looking down at your chest as you are bleeding out, you walk and you leave a trail of blood.
Bane's nightmare.
NS casting Darkness while you are farming. All the lights go out.

edit: oh icons. nm

 

[Monochromaticx]

do have a linkerino for that?

Sure why not. We already have it for some items like radiance and heart.

This seems harrowing.

I wish you stopped telling people that spec wins games. At best she's a niche pick in this meta.

 

[Sigismundo]

Does Heart have an animated icon? Mjollnir definitely does.

 

[Monochromaticx]

I think heart glows faintly.

Anyone able to finish horde mode? Got pretty damn far with Sven but got overrun at the end. Starting to dig this custom game. Probably the best custom game atm.

sure, jakiro and bristleback are beasts in this mode(go octarine).

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Has there ever been a tool to see what Dota looks like from the ground level?

Do the backs of buildings even have textures?
