There is a certain kind of special rage that Sniper instills in me. Not even PL makes me just as pissed the fuck off

It's the snarky responses in that obnoxious voice.

I think its actually the sound effect of his gun firing. I'm not even joking. I've put a lot of thought into this now and as annoying as he is to play against that stupid little incessant "plik...plik...plik" is what gets under my skin
Had a Nyx hex me then miss his Impale. Nerf confirmed.
Also had a great game where I did really well as Kunkka, messed up a few times, but totally won the game alongside BH. Focused on LH, rotated with TP, kept up on runes. Super happy. Landed a ton of boats. 55 minutes back and forth.

I guess I'm supposed to be in the GAF mumble for inhouses?
It was so quiet in game. Oh, and thanks for breaking my 6 game brewmaster win-steak. That was fun.

Starladder The International 'History of One Tournament' is now subbed on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AonraGrNErU
It's roughly an hr long but covers all 3 Internationals with interviews from players and casters. This is a CIS perspective of all 3 tournaments.

Had some great game yesterday with a buddy, we went venge + tusk top and wrecked shit.
Those GAF games are organized from the mumble server I take?

This new mass Midas + Necro book strat is invalidating everything I ever knew about Dota. Can someone enlighten me about what the theoretical benefit of a 25 minute midas on a support Naga Siren is? Or Mass Necro books against a farmed Luna with BKB?

6.79 - The Dawn of a New Age..
The Age of Midas.
The Age of Midas.
And the weirdest thing is it didn't change in the patch at all. Only indirect buffs like the faster gold gain have really done anything. You have to wonder if given a few weeks will pro teams figure out how to punish this most effectively, because surely it can't actually be a legit strat.
I like it. I'm getting shades of PL/KotL meta complaining though. People are complaining before the meta figures out mass necro and midas support and itll get nerfed in a 6.79 addendum instead of being naturally processed.

isn't mass necro book a pure 30 minute pushing strat?
The one thing about necro is that it kept getting buffed to try and make up for Midas and Helm murdering the item. Removing those counters has now left us with a super buffed necrobook.
The thing is, they weren't even that great of a counter to start with, especially in pub games, Midas is usually just spammed every time it is off cool down and isn't saved just for necro, and being able to even dom a necro is something most didn't even seem to know they could do.
Ya, it's was about as common as diffusal blade being user on warlock ult.
Im pretty sure most people knew you could dom a necro and there where plenty of helm users in the safe lane and mid. No one even bought them to test that knowledge in the first place. That combined with Midas rushes and Enchant/Chen/Doom usage meant we were never gonna see someone buy a 5k gold item that could so easily be rendered not just useless but aid the enemy team. They werent even buying/using them to counter necro books, these heroes and items were good enough to be in comp dota regardless of whether necro was effected by them or not.
I love new Axe, he needs an NBA Jam sound set now though.
Who cares? Didn't you hear? BF4 next week. ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED.

Two games in a row with rage quitters. The first was a Lycan who rage quit after he thought he could take on four heroes in their jungle. We actually managed to turn that game around and won it.
The second game we played limited heroes, had a Drow and a Sniper. Sniper wanted mid, but the drow wanted too. So the sniper goes top and lets Drow have mid. She goes to the 00:00 rune, it's a DD. She gets the rune but a Razor is there as well. She dies to the Razor and the Witch Doctor who came to help. She rage quits. A couple minutes in our Vengeful disconnects as well, so we where down to me on Lich, a friend on Bounty Hunter and a random Sniper. We then managed to rax them and even had their ancient exposed. 45 Minutes or so in the Drow reconnects and starts to feed herself to them. Didn't even mind losing that game, the best part was seeing on the scoreboard that they were a five stack.

I think losing so much in the new patch must've dropped my MMR by a fuckload so I'm now fully engulfed in the trench. And worse teammates = less chance of winning. It's a vicious circle.
Got paired with a Lycan who didn't get wolves until he maxed everything else. He was laning, but still.

I'm sure there's pros and cons to your skill level if you do that, but frankly I wouldn't because I really wouldn't enjoy it. The thing I most enjoy about this game is the variety of heroes I can play.
Necrobook making a comeback was bound to happen with the Midas/HotD nerfs.
Altnough something like a 4-5 man Necrobook strat will only happen if one to team is ahead by a lot and it will lead to a faster game which is good. I do look forward to a game where there are more than 5 Necros total both sides.
Saw them on Bloodseeker a while ago, wasn't that bad.
