You can't pull enemies, just rocks and allies. But if you mean stunning them with a rock and then rolling in and kicking them towards your team/tower, then yea that's awesome.

I think the best part about earth spirit is going to be the mind games of dropping rocks right behind the enemy carry in lane and watching them freak out. No actual skills needed.

I used to do that in Dota 1, so hilarious

 

[Razzer]

Kaolin seems broken as fuck honestly. With his insanely high skillcap too, the hero can be just downright amazing. Also his ultimate is a bit out of place on him imho. All of his other skills displace things, while his ulti is a dot that share debuffs and require you to be between your enemy. I think i'd rather max the other skills first.

It seems as though after you initially cast the ult you can make it way more effective through clever displacement of rocks, so it still fits into the style.

Could ES be secret top tier?

Earthshaker?

There can be only one ES.

So the enemy can see Earth's rocks? I wasn't sure about that when messing around against bots. Can the enemy see Ember's ult remnants?

 

[rexor0717]

I can't wait to see "big plays" with Earth Spirit. And Ember Spirit is a walking rampage.

 

[Razzer]

BTW, you can add Ember to that list of Meepo counters Hylian. Each one makes his Sleight stronger on the whole team not just Meepo.

Yes and yes

Not sure if this was posted, but reddit is saying the servers will be down for a few more hours.

[Drkirby]

And that is why the match finding servers and item servers should not be the same thing.

If you go the marketplace and look under dota you can keep refreshing and see that the chest numbers go down by one every few seconds. Seems like this could take a loooooong time.

 

[ink4n3]

I can't imagine having to go in and return over a million chests to people...just delete them all.

Because pissing off thousands of your customers is smart.

Returning is the easy part. they have to convert them all to similar chests, That have gems.

Draskyll playing Ember Spirit mid... fuck bottle crowing, these are the fastest bottle refills. Remnants + TP seems pretty ridiculous in terms of mobility.

Do the stone remnants count for Echo Slam ?

You can even run back to fountain and have enough time to transport back to your remnant, it's nice.

 

[Drkirby]

I don't think so, they aren't really units. Its like asking for wards to count.

For deleting a chest that you have on the market for $0.03 that no one wants to buy?

Since we can delete it ourselves, it's an unnecessary and unasked for task.

Ember 2 stronk. I could see this making him a good mid tbh.

From what I hear that and Hard carry are his two main roles.

 

[SargerusBR]

Cant stop watching.

I don't doubt it, though apparently Draskyll doesn't think he is a hard carry.

edit: and he's against battlefuries? Wat?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I think he's being stubborn at this point. He likes Maelstrom but not Battlefury for some reason.

 

[Drkirby]

I don't think hard carry suits him, he is a caster carry.

 

[JustinBB7]

Mid hero for sure.

Welp, looks like it will be tomorrow to play for realsies.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Where's my dota

 

[NBtoaster]

Yeah his stat growth is awful. Wont be able to 1v1 any real hard carry like a Void or AM.

Might be good against a PL though.

biblio how come the AI is so insanely good at dodging mirana's arrow

i can't land a single one, it's like they know it's coming the moment i shoot it

 

[dorkimoe]

[Emerson]

Bots cheat, even if you are behind the trees, they will dodge the arrow, the only way to land it, is when they are chasing or escaping from other hero. Also they always know who is the true Naga Siren among her illusions.

And if you ping them they will instantly react and back off.

 

[dorkimoe]

[Eternal Gamer]

Yes, this reminds me, with Spirit Breaker, as soon as you begin your charge, the bot you are targeting, at the other side of the map will retreat immediately to the tower.
