Hopefully at 6:15 PST so I'll be home to place my pitiful order
It's up
BONUSES
PURCHASE LOCKS ACCOUNTS
NEW LOCATION SECRET SHOP
Right, I generally use black hole as counter initiation. However it takes simply one disable to stop black hole. The team isn't "blowing all their disables on you", they simply go " There's Enigma Black Holing my team, time to put a stop to that shit."
They also see an Enigma in the area and are like "hey, let's not clump up for it". This is why you need a Blink.
Of course, but sometimes shit happens, they pick it after you, or something like that.
do you have the ta one? it's the only one i want.

There's one about Edgar Wright's style of comedy and one about Jackie Chan's action comedy.
Both videos are great but that's a given, all videos in the channel are fantastic.

The one about "chairs" is probably my favorite.

What makes you say that?

ya I heard someone (aui?) say that getting over the temptation to save your big AoE ults (Black Hole, Chronosphere, Slam, etc.) just so you can be a hero and get 4-5 enemies is a huge step to becoming a better player, and that these abilities should rarely be sat on once off cd
it's like when twitch mocks pros when they use slam on a lone enemy to try and secure a kill as if they know better

I used https://www.boltbus.com/
It's slightly different, the bus terminal is a few blocks from the train station.

Kelowna doesn't have Boltbus.
Id have to get to Vancouver and then take one of their buses, and the same on the way back. Too much of a hassle and would cost more. Thanks, seems like Boltbus >>> Greyhound.

I would just ask the bus driver to let you off on which ever is closest to your hotel or whichever one is first. They are allowed to make minor changes like that once you board.
Then Uber to your hotel/motel/holiday inn
Don't tell me you live here too.
does this mean i finally have to figure out what uber is?

For some reason, my hero challenges keep giving me Mirana.
I can't land any arrows to save my life so it's a struggle.

And these are reasons why it's so hard to fight into a mek enigma that's sieging your tower. If the whole team is saving stuns to cancel a black hole, and they're unable to focus a single hero because it would make the team clump, they're not going to win a fight vs a push with mek and midnight pulse regardless of whether or not a black hole actually lands.
If a black hole doesn't have followup damage from your team or if you didn't pre-cast a midnight pulse, then the black hole isn't actually that good. It's not the same thing as an RP/echo/ravage.

Bus Depot is like 1/4 a mile from the train station, basically the same place.
Nice, definitely would go with economy. I'm headed out to the midwest so flight was really my only option.
Though I went economical too, will be on three planes tomorrow
I'm flying to Seattle, but I am all the way down in Texas. I will get in on the 2nd, kind of bullshit that everyone that isn't there early has to miss out on those bonus packs though.
I miss out too
I get in at 5am on the 2nd, just gonna kick it around downtown until my hotel room opens up and then crashTI5 Attendees DONT TAKE A TAXI
The train is $3 and gets you all the way downtown, from there you can walk/bus/uber for less than $10

That reminds me, does the train run from the airport? I can walk from my hotel to Key Arena, it's one mile, maybe take the bus if I deem that too far when I'm actually walking it. I just need to figure out transportation from the airport to my hotel.
Also I'm planning on staying about halfway into the next week, my girlfriend is meeting me there the day TI5 ends and we are going to do stuff in Seattle.
Edit: Wooo! Placed my order for all 5 demiheroes!
Awesome, I'll probably do that then!
Thanks, forgot this channel even existed.
I got a few shirts last year and no shirts this year. Some good designs but nothing public worth

It's okay to not be hitting creeps in the offlane, depending on your hero your main purpose is to gain XP and not die while trying to limit the opposing safelaner's farm as much as possible, getting last hits is a bonus. Try to find a good balance between not dying and getting last hits in, this will be hard as it's tough to figure out exactly how hard a lane is if you're not that experienced with which heroes do what well.
Most offlaners just want to get level 6 ASAP and then go off and try to get kills using that.
Good offlaners:
Tidehunter
Clockwork
Undying
Tusk
Timbersaw
Axe
Bristleback
Dark Seer
Nyx Assassin
Centaur Warrunner
+some other heroes that are somewhat more complicated.
It's not Lion/Lina saving ult for KS bad, it's buffing the team for 6 seconds and giving more opportunities to kill.
