Swiss Army staff for Rubick that changes the animation of every stolen spell. Should be easy. Get going.

I hope they don't change it, Windrunner is my favorite hero and I like that nick.
It does... I love 'windrunner'.

That amazing feeling when your game starts out as a random on your team saying "We're going to lose", and by the end is saying "I'm commending you Tinker." as well as the other team saying "Best Tinker ever.", "wp tinker" and the like.

Keep in mind that any data mining system cannot distinguish between a stompfest and a "balanced" game. It's like how you see Divine Rapers and Abyssal Blades in the "Most sucessful items" for heroes on DotaBuff. Any game where CM gets rapier is likely to be very lopsided but that doesn't mean you should build rapier on CM.

So, wait. I bought an ethereal gem from the market, but I can't use it on a courier unless I craft an artificer's brand? That's fucking ridiculous.
Right, I realize that, but still he is a carry and has to come on line. I have a hard time believing that even with an extreme XP and gold advantage, Meepo wins 80% of his games in less than 20 minutes. Actually pushing into a base with 3-4 Meepos actually takes time, regardless of how hard you are stomping, so I would expect things to really hit their peak for him around 30 minutes.
I would have expected more of a bell curve with Meepo.
This is also true, but does this mean that a bunch of people ragequit and abandon against a Meepo in less than 20 minutes or what?
I imagine the 80% win rate is when a player like ellen pudge or sixghost walks into a pub, auto picks meepo, and then proceeds to get Aghs in 10 minutes.
90% of Meepos are gutter trash, but that 10% of competent Meepo players are a force to be reckoned with in pubs. 15 minutes is still really fast however and I'm going to guess there are some number problems/outliers affecting this.
(Also since the graph peaks at 80% you're probably not seeing the 99% win rate at 15:00 that I suspect is there.
A caveat should be that the earlier a game ends, the more likely the numbers there are inaccurate and so greater attention should be paid to the 30-75 zone than the 15-30 zone. Think about it, a scant few of pub games end around 15 minutes which means all the figures for those games are totally out of whack. Although it's useful to see which heroes are dragging pub teams down.

Where can you stick a ward on the dire side ancients that shows the candy bucket in Diretide that doesn't get true sighted from the bucket itself? When playing on dire you can stick one on the high ground just to the right of rad's ancients thats perfect and lets you see all the goings on at their bucket.
Just in front of the staircase to the river works I think.

Maybe Necro's name change will come with a nice model remake and more voice lines that aren't just a slightly different delivery of Anti-Mage/Warlock

If they have to change Windrunner's name at least just make it Lyralei. "Windranger" sounds dumb, like an Engrish translation for some knockoff.
If the "word" Windranger ever makes its way into Dota, that's the day I uninstall. If they have to change it for copyright just make it Lyralei.

That sounds nice, too bad navigating the DOTA 2 market is so damn tedious to do.

Just a simple hero filter would help so much. Even just making it so the hero's specific items are tagged so we can enter a hero's name in search.
Just anything at all to make it convenient to browse.

I'm thinking about bothering jschakles (however you spell it) the creator of enhanced steam to try and get him to do something about the market. I'm not sure how flexible it could be or what he could do with it, but I figure it's worth a few emails.

At least we can be like Dota 2 OGs now, calling her Windrunner. Shows we've been there since the beginning.

There are hundreds of thousands of players who have no idea who Wisp is.
Let that sink in a bit.

Because of the amount of lines that will require redoing, they probably settled on Windranger awhile ago.
That or Windrunner is about to lose like half of her voice lines for a very long time. There's also a ton of heroes that have Windrunner rival/ally lines that will now be gone :/
Necro doesn't have that issue. He only says his name once, and they can just remove that line and barely anyone will notice.

Someone on the dev forums mentioned this could be because Alleria Windrunner might be a HotS hero.

But Windrunner got there first?!
And appropriate name in that GIF. Sending in all the spiders was a mistake though.

Did the second starstorm hit never go? I don't see it.

Name her 'Gingers', then at least one of her voice lines would still be correct
