I'm forced to look at the Giantbomb channel for my stacks because GAF is so dead.
smh
I'll be honest, that was my first thought as well.
No way they don't release Legion Commander first, though.

It's a chicken or the egg thing though. I haven't sent the pm to set the team yet as every weekend someone can't make it. If we have a weekend we can lock in what players can make it and know for sure who's on the team.
I do appreciate the thought of asking though so a weekend isn't set that no one can make.
I don't envy the people running it, good luck.
For your own sanity, I recommend you don't do that.

oh boy hon trash is on!
The honest answer is none of mine are really open, but how badly it is really depends on how much notice I have to try and work around it.
I like playing with GB people because they're closer to my own level. People from GAF be too good. The few games I've had I felt left in the dust. I feel like the fat man in a marathon that the cops give a pity ride to the finish line.

High five hardcore buddy
Thanks.
So is it unreasonable to think that perhaps we aren't getting Diretide this year and instead maybe a different game mode? Thanksgiving themed, mayhaps?

Get aghs, double ur kill secures
the fuck is this
explain yourself
That's unreasonable, yes.
There's no reason they wouldn't recycle an insanely popular holiday event from last year when they have all the assets already in the game and plenty of new, popular Halloween/spooky cosmetics to make money on.

Is Axe finally not among the 5 worst heroes in the game?
When was he ?

6.78
It's this really. It's just trying to make sure that everyone can be there when we need to be ahead of time. Mostly a time of day thing and not a specific date
on the official group page under "Upcoming events _" it says there's 1 event in the next two weeks. that's, like, the most certain of confirmations. n'est pas?

if we get a new hero for Halloween, the update won't be tonight because of the test client
unless they do some shenanigans and release Halloween on the main client and the hero on the test client and ship the hero tomorrow while Halloween is currently active, but that would be really weird. Or they just release the hero and throw caution to the wind, which runs a huge risk of breaking everything.

Would still be extremely exciting to get a new hero in the test client. I consider that getting a new hero tonight because we get to see the visuals/how they play, etc.

Storm, Ember, and Earth Spirit. It's coming.
Worse than the likes of 6.78 BM, Sniper, Seeker? Bottom 10 maybe but not bottom 5.
6.78 Pugna was pretty bad too.

now THIS is classic Hazaro.
aw hell naw you are not hating on pugna when he barely got changed
Ward being able to survive a few hits in late game is a pretty big deal. As is stealing mana from your ultimate when you are at full health.
And honestly I still don't think he is that good in 6.79 either. Maybe against certain line ups like the design of the character entails but not a hero you can reliably put on a team.
The visual change on his ult alone makes him far superior now!
IMO so was Axe (viable in certain line ups). We are just discussing heroes who are worse than Axe. Old Battle Hunger and old Tranquil Boots were enough to pick Axe. So I disagree with him being in bottom 5 although I can see him in bottom 10.
New Axe I haven't tried much of to comment. Not sure how to play him with the Tranquil Boots nerf.

1. Sniper
2. Drow
3. Broodmother
4. Bloodseeker
5. Axe
6. Ogre Magi
7. Bristleback
8. Riki
9. Clinkz
10. Pudge

6.78 pugna was awesome, and people had started picking him already as an OD counter even before 6.79 came. The buff to him weren't even that good, it's just that people noticed that pugna can take your rax at 20 min and that 6.79 is much faster than 6.78 (mostly trilane nerf mean you can aggressive much earlier), so they said : "oh, mb this hero is good". Now it's fp material.

Wait why can't I watch fragbite on my phone no mores?
Lich overrated this version i'm calling it now.
EDIT: I say he'll get a lower WR% than Visage in competitive.
