I wonder if we'll get new heroes added to WN today.

Soon™

So close!

 

[Lemon Crest]

Played and lost my first legion game.

Our jug spent the whole game talking to enemies' axe in russian and our death prophet dc'd for like 7 minutes

I went Shadowblade>Blademail>Deso, It worked really well.
I could man fight everyone on their team except for their spectre.

At the end I had around 460ish damage, 150 of it was stolen i think

 

[Arkanius]

Soon™

Tell us IceFrog
Are we just getting Wraith king in normal games?

 

[manfestival]

Wraith night or normal?

Edit: Was that our Manfestival getting called out on Pyrion's stream?

haha yeah it was...

 

[ink4n3]

Are they going to fix the minimap? The Wraith King is on the way left edge. I can't see the left towers.

 

[Arsin]

So for an early Christmas present my GF gave me the money to buy the new arcana item! Super excited to try it out in a few matches tonight.

Edit: Quick question about the Duel skill for LC. It says that both skills and items are muted during the duel, does that mean the stats gained from items are removed for that time? What about things like crit chance or life steal?

That's your shit being broke

Awesome, thanks!

It's either just WK added back into the hero pool or

Spoiler

Terrorblade/Frostivus Phase 2.

 

[Razzer]

Mastering the timing of dark pact feels so good.

 

[Spookie]

Wraith night or normal?

WN: You can't out damage the incoming damage so just end up really dead. Armour is legit better till you can afford to buy some damage items. Pubs just buy a helm, stand there and then ping incessantly when they don't get rezzed immediately after dying.

 

[Sigismundo]

It's gonna be Pit Lord if anything.

Do they have true strike? If not I imagine evasion would be useful.

 

[Tashi]

Just played a glitched out Ranked CM game where the other team picked that new hero. We won anyway. My first ranked win, yay.

 

[Haunted]

Legion Commander seems damn fun. Love any ult that forces people to MAN UP.

 

[Spookie]

I think the mini bosses might. Armour takes out the random aspect of it all. Watched an Axe tank the final couple of rounds with a sheevas, AC, heart and with his Q he was build like a brick shit house. It's a really good mode. But definitely not for pubs.

Edit: "YOU DEFEATED" - Damn right we did. Jesus wept.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I like how the last bar is taking longer than any of the other bars did. Probably waiting on the update to be ready to ship

 

[Hylian7]

I'm back, it's time for my placement matches in ranked solo doto!

http://www.twitch.tv/hylian7

Edit: Took it down for now because still updating, will be back when it's done.

 

[ReRixo]

Finished WN on normal with shadow fiend, drow, windrunner, omni, and legion commander. It's actually fairly easy with a 5 man group.

 

[Arkanius]

I really don't think this event will be larger than what we are getting. It's Friday, I doubt they will introduce more game breaking features just before the weekend

 

[Hylian7]

Aaaaaand now it's back!

 

[Dina]

Maybe I was lucky, but the first WN pub I did wasnt that hard. Omni (me), SF, Jug, Magnus and Drow.

 

[SteveWinwood]

In case anyone here cares about messing with Dota in Linux, the SteamOS has been released.

 

[Drkirby]

Watch it just unlock a second bar.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Watch it just unlock a second bar.

that unlocks pit lord

 

[Ultrabum]

quick, what are sure fire ways to win the wraith-night>?!>?!?

 

[Divvy]

Have Omniknight

 

[Kard8p3]

That feel when I queue, and get matched up with 4 people who speak spanish .

Oh well, we still rekt the other team

 

[Drkirby]

I played a ranked match. We got Captain's Draft, out Captain was not only muted by me in a previous game, but was also chat banned at the time. And the game was 60 minutes long.

 

[Dreavus]

Maybe I was lucky, but the first WN pub I did wasnt that hard. Omni (me), SF, Jug, Magnus and Drow.

Yup. I was planning on getting some favour, but wanted to try 1 game first to see what it was like. We had a guy on our team who knew what he was doing and was able to tell us what to watch for as each wave came. Helped us win despite our LC who was dying and buying back quite a bit.

We had Omni, SF, LC, Axe, and SS.

 

[Haunted]

I lost the three wraith night games I played tonight at wave 5. Need some of that GAF stack goodness tomorrow.


Won my first game as Legion Commander (and broke my kill record in a real match, 21) - she is a ton of fun to play. Not only the ult, all the other skills are also awesome, she feels very versatile with an offensive AoE, buff+heal and of course that MAN UP/disable.

Yes, please.

 

[Arkanius]

I miss baller king
Just give us Wraith King already

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I miss baller king
Just give us Wraith King already

This is taking a really long time...

 

[Karakand]

I miss baller king
Just give us Wraith King already

maybe we'll get something like carlism

but for skeleton king

 

[Arkanius]

This is taking a really long time...

ChrisC forgot to program Wraith King

 

[manfestival]

soooo why do people buy season passes? like are there free items or something that makes it worth it aside from the convenience of watching with the in-game client?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Have Omniknight

and Axe.

 

[Granadier]

and Axe.

And Legion Commander

 

[Arkanius]

And Legion Commander

And Sven

 

[balladofwindfishes]

They needed to time this bar thing better

 

[Granadier]

And Sven

And Shadow Fiend

 

[Semblance]

I really like LC from what I've briefly played, more so than I thought I would. Will hopefully get to try her properly tonight with some friends.

Also, question - has anyone seen the new QoP kinetic gem? Does anyone even know how to get it? I am guessing the other new kinetic gems are randomly included with the new gear pieces, like the CM gem might come with one of her new hats, for example. QoP doesn't have any new gear this patch though, so I'm a little unsure. Haven't seen the gem on the Steam Marketplace either, even though some of the others are listed.

 

[Finalow]

played this new wraith-night mode two times, already got bored.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Lost my 5th ranked match in a row. My last one had some hilariously bad stuff, like a profet that teleported into full hp enemies with no way to stop a tp, pudge that never used rot after hook and kept getting hook stolen, and a LC that fed tons of damage to our opponent because she felt that she had to use her ulti everytime she was about to die.
I feel like at this point i'll just watch how low can i go, i'll have time to reclimb ladder anyway.

Okay.

 

[Hylian7]

Solo ranked placement matches are frustrating.

 

[Thagomizer]

ughhh had a WN game where three people died on the Kobald wave

On Normal

Any DotaGAF want to stack with me? I'm sick of pubs.
