Not too hard, your game since will be out of wack for a while. You have far less mana to spam spells early on, right click damage feels useful on supports.

I think I am just tired of the balance patches to enforce the same meta. What is a turn rate?
I guess I have nothing to lose in trying it out. Last time I did one game and there was 3 afk, and I had no idea what character or items to get
People take like half a second to turn around. Some heroes also can take time to cast spells, I think the longest is a .8 second cast time, and that is just doing a wind up animation.

When you're moving in a direction and you click exactly behind you, you will not instantly flip around. It will take a small amount of time for you to actually turn. LOL players will frequently think there is lag or that they picked a hero that controls like a tank or is just slow.

One more thing: stun times will seem amazingly long to you...
Stun timers seem amazingly long to me and I've never played lol
sure stunlock the cm support and don't even bother with the od carry Sounds really fun if you're the stunner, incredibly infuriating if your the stunee. Maybe I should do sp games for awhile
i'm 1080 :3
ye i dont get that option til i get enough viewers or something
Thats retarded
I have a 4mb line so i can watch 10 seconds and then have to wait 30 for the stream to buff
Its pants

Initiation is just very important. For the most part the mana costs are proportionate to the power of the abilities, so people will usually only blow the mana if they are trying to kill during the laning phase.
Well since you're new to the game you're going to get matched with people who are also new. Many of those people will be people who are just trying the game out and will leave because it's boring and they will never play again.I guess I have nothing to lose in trying it out.

how can u even care about that game mode lol?
You go into a non-competitive game mode and expect people to do their best? :/
Well, like half the point of the mode is to try and get the most damage possible. I would assume people not wanting to aim for prizes would just goof off in practice.
Well, it seems to attract a lot of people who enjoy pseudo-score attacks that don't require too much skill. I wouldn't expect the quality of every team to be that good, I guess some rather play for "fun".

The more damage you do, the more items you get. That is why people get mad when you don't try. That and its time gated to even play it.

make a party if you want to take the dumb mode seriously
Why didn't they bring in the Dragon Knight ulti chinese dragon.
That shit is legit as hell. All the other things made it why not that?

Clinkz is the most bullshit annoying hero in the game
Worse than Furion
I don't get to play against a whole lots of clinkz players, but I find it hard to believe any hero could be more annoying then Furion. The only saving grace for Natures Prophet is that a lot of bad players play him too, so they are fun to gank in the woods.
Clinkz can be pretty damn annoying if he can farm up an orchid though
He has great harass in lane, can go invis, solo ganks well, and can backdoor like nobodies business. Perfect formula for irritating people in pubs.

I need to give that solo offlane sniper a try. Sounds like fun, you'd probably just have to play really safe though or bring extra regen since he's so squishy early
all game
Speaking of heroes that I never want to play against... I hate Viper
I'm talking mostly mid Viper, that shit is so annoying.. the damage and slow, plus his passive.. gah
The only hero I found decent against him in lane is Quas-Wex Invker because you can harass him and still have the regan so you can stay in lane, but that was in bot games so..
I guess Bloodseeker and Necro could maybe work on the same principle

Is there a replay? I wana see
Hah, I do exactly that. Nothing more satisfying than locking down a Weaver all game.
You misspelled Slardar
Based fish bro wrecks everything when lvl 6 hits
Wrecks everything that can go invisible. Plus his ult let him kill squishes like Weaver in 3 hits

that's a cast
there's no replay id is there I didn't see itlisted on the stream, I want to see his povThe Technomancer
card-carrying scientician
Okay, I raised an eyebrow at the last second NS pick when we already has Ursa and LC, but then he never ganked. At that point you're literally dead weight
that's a cast
Look at the end of the vod for match id

Just started playing SD and now I understand why he's so popular in the pro scene, such a fun hero. I'm a bit unsure on how to build him though, all his abilities are so good. Atm am going with maxing Soul Catcher first.

Well, opening my first Bloom Bounty of the night turned out well:
Too bad I also already have the Leviathan Whale Blade for him.
EDIT: Of course I compensated with the rest of the Bounties by a very cheap mega-kills, announcer, and courier.

I can't wait for this tournament.
