I don't think it needs to be nerfed, I'd just like it to be a bit more interesting of an item.

 

[kvk1]

This is HAM mode Puppey.

I don't get the midas thing at all. Are we even sure it's actually helping? It's kind of hard to judge, "the team with the most midas's won" isn't really any more helpful than it would be for any other item. They seem to be getting it on heroes that are pretty item independent, which kind of makes a paradoxical kind of sense, since midas delaying your mid game items has less impact than it would do for a carry. So it's unlikely to stand out as being blatantly obvious that your CM having a midas instead of something like a force staff is actually losing you fights, but I'm not it won't be sometimes.

Going midas on Enigma like Fanatic did makes no sense to me though. If you consider his core items to be blink + bkb, then if the Enigma can farm at something around 300 gpm this would take around 20 mins to get. Going midas first takes around 6 minutes, after which your gpm is increased to 400 or so, taking another 15 mins to get your items which means 21 minutes in total. So you're delaying your blink just to get blink+bkb at around the same time, and then I suppose you can get some luxuries like necro 3 or hex faster that you would but the fights that decide the game might have happened by then. Are my numbers way off here?

It's for the XP dude.

It doesn't need additional penalties to it, though. The fact that it gives you no real fighting stats other than some negligible attack speed at a high cost is penalty enough.

 

[Shorty11857]

Looks like it's going to be a 2 - 0 to Na'vi

 

[Chris R]

Fnatic wanna go home.

 

[Radec]

Pretty much over.

Wanting fnatic to win as they havent won much. But na'vi outplaying everyone today.

 

[Sibylus]

Just stop buying Midases for a while, fnatic. Na'Vi aren't letting it go unpunished.

 

[Artanisix]

Na'Vi running the pain train

Spoiler

with only one midas omg plz nerf

on Fnatic right now.

 

[kvk1]

This is a clinic.

 

[shira]

Hontrash 4lyfe

 

[MurkyZebra2417]

Na'vi looking unstoppable today, damn

 

[Zeth]

Was hoping Fnatic would go all the way. Doesn't look like it but we'll see.

What do you guys think about medallion on TA? I've been thinking phase-drums/medallion-blink for a mid-game oriented build. Criticism please?

 

[Radec]

Fnatic got demoralized.

Navi destroyed their Wisp-Tiny easily earlier.

 

[GordonHalfman]

It's for the XP dude.

On heroes like CM and Enigma? No way is that worth it, especially when they are buying them as late as they are.

Anyway, that game made the mass midas strat look like garbage so maybe they'll stop now.

 

[Finalow]

rip in pieces fnatic.

 

[shira]

Might as well go meepo. Nothing else working

 

[ViviOggi]

Jesus

You have a point there.

Doesn't look like Fnatic will make it, was hoping they do but with the way Na'vi is playing they have to step up their game. Hard.

 

[BeesEight]

The all Midas strat was great when they could convince Na'Vi to play along.

But now that they're actually applying pressure, I hope they give up this silly enterprise.

Cheering for a comeback is never a great prospect.

 

[M.D]

The situation calls for a Meepo

 

[The Technomancer]

Is there a reason why the level 3 Finger of Death Agh's upgrade reduces the mana cost from 650 to 625? That just seems oddly specific for an effect that will probably not be commonly relevant.

Idk, the cooldown is the main bonus

Yup, greed is only as good as the space and time that your opponent allows you. Fnatic are going to get swept if they try this again.

oh yeah, totally, I'm just wondering what was going through Icefrog's mind when he designed that. Like "hmm, what this really needs is for the level 3 ulti to 4% cheaper". How do you arrive at that?

It could be a typo?

Sounds about right. One day i'll get the hang of this bloody game. A few more months of practice to combat a life of console scrubbery and I will be mithril tier.

 

[Nymerio]

wow

 

[Radec]

amazing start

 

[shira]

Gg, what a joke

 

[Zeth]

Fnatic off to a fantastic start! LOL

 

[ViviOggi]

Idk why you'd ever let an Odie through when you're gonna play Invoker mid

 

[Nymerio]

This looks worse and worse for fnatic.

 

[Shorty11857]

Fnatic looked untouchable yesterday today...this looks like a straight 0 - 3

 

[Radec]

I think this is as good as 3-0.

Dendi haven't even joined the fight yet (apart from the top).

 

[Finalow]
