this is me when I see a bunch of spell-dependent heroes and I pick Drow...

That's slightly out of date.
Broodmother though, has she always been eternally low as far as KDA?
#1 is no surprise
Medusa and Weaver though....those two I really didn't expect, especially Medusa. Why is Medusa there anyway?

Dusa has high KDA because she doesn't play dota for 30 minutes and then she hits everyone in the teamfight

I think it's because it requires more coordination for her to work on team fights, at least when compared to other heroes of her nature that can be played with a solo mentality.
Her winrate is okay, not anything crazy, but still pretty good. I'm just kind of surprised because I feel like it becomes feast or famine in pubs with her, and famine can be fairly common which should theoretically drag the KDA down.
She's basically there to augment the team, and she has barely any wiggle room to rise above the coordination and the synergy her team offers her. Kinda the same catch-22 as Io, I guess.
Not entirely

I find its pretty common to get medusas who have diligently farmed all game and avoided trouble, so have 0-2 deaths, but they still lose.

Pretty much. Even famine tends not to be very death heavy since you're basically playing PvE even when you're losing.
Also, *warning sub 3k opinion* alert, but I don't think mobility is built nearly enough on Drow and that she suffers in those KDA numbers as a result. The ult and aura reworks have made mobility all or nothing for her, she isn't going to do jack in a game where she spends half of it as a hero with two skills.

if you're avoiding fights as Medusa with that snake and ult, you're playing the hero wrong.
nah. she pushes harder than Lycan. Get a SB or blink dagger, make plays and take towers.
My homie.

If the result is
I don't really care.
Mask of Madness + Blink = good items. Treat Blink like a DPS item on her.
Think I'd more agree if she had that wolf form.
Wholly endorse the mobility kit like a Force Staff or Blink though. Makes quite the difference in my Drow games.

Actually I've been wondering, is it better to stack a couple of Wraith Bands on Drow or to just buy one Aquila? They give very similar stats.
I like the Aquila aura for pushing.
Sigismundo
Member
Yeah that makes sense. Drow is a good pusher so not having the aura seems like a waste and two Wraith Bands isn't gonna give you much more damage to creeps.

I have gone Vlads a lot on Drow, and people get mad at me, is it really that bad of a build?
36% WR say I suck with her tho, regardless of what I build
The alpha wolf passive is just so good on her with Helm.I have gone Vlads a lot on Drow, and people get mad at me, is it really that bad of a build?

You know what grinds my gears? The people on your team that sit there and say "No shut up 2k/3k/4k, this is my alt account and I'm actually 6k on my real account, you don't know how to play and I do. This bracket is the worst etc etc."
I'm sure you totally are 6k on your "main" account while you make mistakes most 3k-4k players make and die. In other news I just got back from feeding my unicorn.
I also had a Silencer on my team today that stated the match being one of those "I don't trust you, you don't know how to play this game." He "gave up" at around 15 minutes and refused to ult, then finally did and we won two teamfights in a row. He also claimed he was 4700 MMR and fell to 4100 because he kept getting bad teammates. I told him I used to have that attitude and now I don't and went from 3.5k to 4.1k.

vlads is cool on drow if you have multiple auto attackers on the comp or someone like a PA in the mix with you. it's also the better option for early roshing. otherwise, dom helm.
Enfeeble, static link, magic weakness, anything that isn't normally purgable.
for the poor here #probablyfullofviruses

Can we make heavy metal the go-to off topic discussion instead of anime? I'll start.
Opeth makes me feel like I'm a badass, discuss.

I'm legitimately considering buying a Wii U. The major reason I'd get it is Smash but Smash 3DS controls very poorly and the console has some other games I'd like as well (MK8, Bayo/W101, etc).
It's a fairly large investment which is why I'm thinking about it. Maybe if I want a Nintendo console I should just wait for the NX.

I'm holding out to see if the NX has backwards compatibility before I commit to anything. The Wii U has enough awesome games to warrant a purchase if you can get one below MSRP imo.
Unrelated: Deliverance is so good.
WiiU with splatoon or MK8 included bundle is def worth it
If ur gonna get one the cheapest for games is here http://www.ozgameshop.com/wii-u
one of the best things about WiiU is it actualyl does the whole family entertainment console xbone & ps4 aimed for really well. You can watch netflix & youtube on it.
The second screen you can watch videos/netflix/play some games on if someone else wants to watch/use the tv.
If the TV is a competed for space in your household wii u is a really good console.
