I need to stop playing Dota.
It seems like when I submit feedback as "Very Low" it just decides to throw me into games with worse players than the last one..
Games won were from enemy players D/C'ing.
If there was a sewer of Dota, I would be in it.

Hey guys just had a query. Have been looking into Ethereal Blade and I wondered what heroes it would be best for? Just from my basic understanding it would be useful for Agility heroes with damage nukes like Gyro although is it advisable to get it on non Agi nukers like Lion, Skyrath Mage? I know a lot of Dota is situational but I'm just trying to figure the item out.
It's pretty much only core on Morphling (and by no means is that his only build). Sometimes if you have a lot of gold and there's one or two really strong right clickers on the opposite team you can buy it just to use it on either them (if they don't have bkb or strong illusions like an antimage or a CK) or on your ally that is getting focused down.
E-Blade is generally mainly picked up on Morphling. The reason being is he can at any moment chose to have very high agility. If you put all your stats to agility, eblade someone, that adapative strike (scales based on your primary stat) then waveform you can pretty much blow up any support.
Your thinking is right it is strong with any hero that has a strong nuke but they time they could farm an eblade there are much better items you can get such as a hex.
It's actually pretty strong on pudge late game too if you get lots of passive stacks as your strength can be really high.
Tinker is another hero it's seen on a bit as you can eblade > dagon 5 > re-arm and continue the combo over and over.

fun as hell on magi: Lina, Silencer, CM, Lion, Ogre, OD, Zeus if you are screwing around or have the farm.

Sweet thanks for the feedback guys.

I think she just wants red/blue Eth Blades, not Str/Int Eth Blades.
Everyone knows OD with Int Eth Blade would be silly.

Silly good?
Just put 'something' on the chick and press E(default) :>
why isnt single draft or all random in ranked hmmmm
In other news, these people are goddamn morons:
Is that a gaffer? Had that account offer on my LC arcana. The exact same items.
Ok I didn't know I had to get the chicken involved. Thank you for teaching me something about a game I have played more than 500 games of.
E Blade on Riki is hilarious with a Dagon 5
Not only do you get a massive Agi boost for your backstab, but using items doesnt take Riki out of invis, so you can instagib a support and they wont even know youre there
Its a super troll build though, and only viable if youre balling out of control
Dagon + E-Blade QoP.
People who don't understand that rapiers are only meant to built by a losing team are the worst. So much unnecessary risk.

May contain jokes =>
That or as a troll item when you're winning and the ancient is nearly down.

E-blade is such a wierd item, I'd like it if you could switch the agility on the item to your preferred stat. I think maybe only nyx and morph are where it could be used regularly.

The bundle is suppose to have a different image from the actual ticket but it appears that some tournaments are still not following these rules.
It's silly.
MM system don't work like that, you're just forgetting all the times you won because you had the "better" team.

Nope it doesn't work like that. Either you're awesome or your team sucks. The other team is neutral.
Strangely the last 10 losses we were being STOMPED due to wrong picking, no support or DCs. Can't remember that that happened to me so often.. It's infuriating.
Then play Support yourself?
I do actually, I like playing support. But then our carry sucks. I don't mind losing at all if the game is fun, but most of my last game it just is not. Are there any goog MM groups in the neogaf channel? Would love a proper match right now..
Woo made it, from 48% winrate with -20 game difference to 52% wr with +20 games. Now to try and keep it like that.

I feel you, but no matter how hard you try, you will get back to 50%. I promise.
I am friendly, all the time(Most of my commendations are for friendlinessif that is any indicator) I try to teach and to be kind, but then you have a whole team of russians, solo players and just downright crappy people. Makes me wonder if there is any chance playing alone and having fun again. Do you want to be my friend?
EDIT: Nothing against Russians, but I hate how they downright refuse talking english most of the time even if the whole team is.

Don't celebrate. I had +10 at one point and now it's about -10.
Anyone see a few disconnects occur early by the same person that doesn't result in early abondonned? Match was only 3 minutes in.

Those seemed to be really early. I'm reminded of Tusk's early appearance which had a monocle and was entirely different.
His name is Icarus in Dota. That doesn't mean anything for Dota 2. They could keep the name or change it to fit as they needed.

Here was terrorblade like 5 months ago:
He probably looks massively different by now.
Hrm, could also be nightstalker.

You have <100 matches so you're right on the money
Yeah, I realize that.
I was just frustrated after some particularly bad games and needed to vent.
I believe I remember that being confirmed as early NS concept art. Not having weapons kind of leans that way too.
