Silencer. We haven't seen you in awhile.
Half the fun of NewDrow is mailing pushpants to your ally heroes across the map whilst playing PvE.
Played Chen for the first time.. I was like "fuck this" and wanted to repick, but somehow I did end up picking him
It wasn't so bad honestly, but that's just because I didn't have to deal with people blocking camps or coming to kill me in the jungle, so I had a good start and somehow got a couple of kills
The hardest part is to learn where to position yourself and your creeps during the fights.. sometimes I wanted to send my creeps in but ended up going with them and found myself in the middle of the fight >.>
It also sucks that you have to reselect the command groups every time you get a new creep.. is there any way to to set it so that it remembers the command groups? with something like PL for example if I set the illusions to 2, it will remember and control them when there's new illusions as well
Also, what items should you get on him? Got the normal stuff like Arcane boots, Mek and Force staff
At some point I noticed I was sitting on like 5k gold so I got a aghs scepter

Just got a new gaming mouse, first time having a mouse with more than 3 buttons. How do I go about changing some keys to the mouse buttons? Like, I want ability 1, 2, 3 on the thumb buttons, but when I try to do that on the in-game control panel, it doesn't seem to register them.
Edit: nvm, got it!

we tried an ihl once but all people did was cry and then people stopped playing and it died in like 3 days i think
Mostly down to the dinky ihl player pool + not having balanced shuffle at the time, methinks.

Funn1k WR so good. Let him play Clinkz!
So you'd rather let them have OD? Or Lifestealer? There's too much to ban.
Ehhhhhhh. I deliberately swapped to learn WASD so I could have more map awareness and keep my mouse where I wanted it

I'm pumped. They're two of the most exciting teams to watch face each other.
Can we keep changing the title weekly to be quote or puns from other games?
Also, looks like someone is trying to get their own chest, some great stuff:

See, that's the kind of shit that deserves to make it into chests, not that terribly textured Kunkka sword from the Polycount chest or yet another nondescript PL spear and Necro Staff.

Those wards look really cool. I hope they have animation, no animation no purchase.

Has Na'Vi learned not to let Alliance have Puck yet?

Whaaaaaaat? You scroll the camera with WASD?
Who does that? Are you Canadian?

So I was checking some things for other reasons and um, Astral Spirit works on tombstone zombies.
...yeah. GG free rapier that fight if the zombie house gets planted.

A lot of people don't understand how detrimental those can be. Earthshaker will wreck your face in a fight.

Also - Luna isn't in the importer at all anymore (when it was previously, even though the model wasn't released) so that probably helps to explain why stuff isn't being implemented for her. Especially given the whole situation with that new mount being in the files for like a day on test and then being removed.
I think all items don't? Pretty funny that you can lazor someone from invis though.

That makes me wonder, does it work on a stolen Astral Spirit by Rubick?
Also, Boots of Travel work on Astral Spirit. I accidentally did it once and died because of it. The same match later I used it to my advantage.

Visage ward, nice.

Yes, if Rubick steals the spirit, it will work on zombies as well. If you meant the spirits triggering each other - they don't - counting neither as a unit or a hero.
For some odd reason though, Rubick has one button for casting the spirit and a separate for recall, whereas ET just has the one hotkey for both, returning on the second click.

The Dire easy camp and hard camp (the two right most camps) can no longer be pulled. The traditional pull camp (on both sides) is now a little more tight in its timing. It used to be that you could pull anytime between 14 and 18, now it's more like 14-17 or 14-16, otherwise you won't get the whole creep wave. Mid pulling on Radiant side I think still works, but it's really hard now. The pull from the hard camp on Radiant side was also removed I think, at least I haven't seen it for a long time.
edit: something this picture is missing, on Dire side you can "pull through" from the pull camp to the hard camp (like on Radiant side with the medium camp above the pull camp and the hard camp top left of it). The timing is a little tricky, as you need to pull the creeps from the hard camp just as the medium creeps are dying, but it will deny the whole creep wave and give you more experience.
I want to start buying more in-game tickets, but I'm new and I don't know which ones are "big". It seems I missed out on most of Star Ladder, but I don't want to make that mistake again. Any suggestions for upcoming tournaments? I usually just watch whatever is popular on Twitch on my second monitor, but I want to upgrade.
MLG Columbus and D2L Season 4 look to be pretty big in terms of just good teams participating. I don't think there are tickets up on the dota store just yet though.
