I like the max Liquid Fire build. You're incredibly annoying in laning phase and you can push towers very easily.

Is Drums ever a poor item choice? Whenever I'm unsure of what to get, I just get Drums.

I honestly think drums are the most overrated item in the game.

It's good on most heroes honestly. The build up is just so good. I'd probably skip it on Void or AM but most heroes out there really benefit from it.

Out of curiosity why? From what I see it provides nice stats and has a nice build up.
Yeah I love getting it on supports. Although I probably don't use the drum charges as often as I should.

Medallion is the greatest item in the game.
Buy two of them.

Haha saw that. "Punch that women". Synderen's reaction was hilarious.
Limp Bizkit skin for Earth Spirit plz
It's pretty good to me--I'm usually buying a bracer early on so turning it into something useful for supports a bit later makes sense.

9 int early game are a big deal on most mana starved carries.
I dislike Drums on supports more often than not, 20+ minutes in they don't offer nearly as much bang for your back as Blink, Force Staff or Ghost Scepter would, especially when your team already has the aura from a core's Drums. If you're ahead building into something like a Pipe instead is a much better option as well.
Nah. Atos or Heavens Halberd easy. Halberd is so underused, I love watching carries shit their pants and run in circles when they don't know why they can't attack.
racecar build is best build on every hero. EVERY HERO.

I just think if you have enough cash to get it, you can be putting to to something else worth the gold.
Prefer to get forcestaff or blink on a support.
Still think its overrated.

I don't know if you're agreeing or disagreeing.
Welp, thats what happens when you dont read properly. Thought you said underrated. I was slightly confused with your choice I must admit.
Where did this happen and is there a replay?
This is some Sanjay level reading comprehension fail.

On a slightly less tryhard note, anyone know why this game doesn't use ragdoll physics for the death animations?
To me, thats the one thing from making this game absolutely complete. Seeing someone getting enchant totem critted for 1200 and knocked halfway across the map, or fury swiped and knocked back 10 feet would be oh so satisfying.

Sinacup on Twitch. Not sure about replay.
LDG vs CIS in the Sina Cup today
Wait for the VOD
What?
This is a terrible idea. This isnt CoD. Plus every hero has a custon death animation and thats cool

It would make the world feel much more organic. Seeing the same death animation no matter how you die gets stale after a while.
Heroes of the Storm (is that what it's being called now?) is using ragdoll and it looks pretty great from the gameplay videos that are out.
thanks
What, if there's one thing cod doesn't have its ragdoll physics. Its an interesting idea.

Never really noticed the cosmetic forge spirits looked so terrible.
Kind of weird they made no real change to the default, I always thought they're model/texture was ugly. Hopefully they'll give them a better texture soon.

When? As of a month ago CSGO was still ragdoll.

Well. It shouldn't impact server performance as it could be totally client side. Simply leave some sort of marker where someone died for roshan respawn, etc and let the actual ragdoll be client side.
Harsh (to Sanjay that is).
Yes, totally client side death animations are a great idea in a competitive game...
I'd rather have non-ragdoll animations that are consistent.

So a good friend of mine (thacker has friends wtf) bought me this last week when the store was in stock.
10 microplush and the natures prophet plushie.
One of the micros was the shitty wizard... is he supposed to be rare? Now I've got 10 lockless luckboxes to either open or sell... hmm

So I just opened all the luckboxes.
Got the unusual garran drywiz ($45 on market) of course for the shitty wizard.
3 Mythical cuffs for Alchemist, 3 Genuine Shadowblades for Kunka, Dagon, and 2 Armlets for Chaos Knight.

You should totally give me one of the shadow blades because I'm not mean like the rest of the people in this thread.
On a side note. Nothing feels better than starting up dota and having a bunch of reports gone through. Especially when you remember exactly which shithead that got punished.

The Garran and Drywiz is Unusual... but has a Champion's Aura etheral gem, and a champions green prismatic gem in it already. Do you know if this makes it worth more?
edit: nm it's just worth the 45$ I see on the store.

They sent me a display box, which I guess is why I didn't get any duplicates. I am only missing earth shaker. Whats the best way to get him? Ebay?
I know they give you another 3 reports, but what Valve does against the reported player? ban, mute, or just low-priority?
Probably depends on what the person was reported for, if he/she is a repeat offender, etc.

Beastmaster is actually a really good hero!
I'm still experimenting/learning how to use him, but I think I prefer playing him as a pusher/support with items like Drums, AC, and Necronomicon. It seems scepter is a common pickup, am I making a mistake in forgoing it?

I tend to be OCD about getting scepter on heroes that get their ults upgraded by it, but I've noticed most people push it until later than I would, or forgo it entirely. I think it depends on what the upgrade actually is, and whether or not the general stats boost is a less useful attribute than getting more damage or disruption-dealing items.
(Scepter with a Lich is super-awesome funtimes though so I always go for it quickly, usually after Mek.)

Throw a blink on him and you have a really good initiator.
Also definitely try the soul ring offlaning stacking ancients beastmaster. You get some levels really fast that way as long as your opponents don't ward.
And scepter is really good as it turns his ult from one of those save for team fight spells into well here's a dude better kill him because then it's at what is it 50 seconds? Like a qop ult.
