It is terrific. Silence, slow -> GANK HIS ASS -> Under farmed/leveled smushy weakling

pls dont follow riot volvo! RESIST THE URGE!
Also that new doom set is pretty legit. Wouldnt mind getting the shoulders , head, and wings.
sven set is kinda... boring to me. There are stronger sven sets. Pudge set is very cool and unique looking. I kinda wish more sets took this kind of inspiration instead of taking the samey looking direction like the sven set
please no peru
I want it so badly! I have an idea and don't feel like bothering with the WC3 scripting language for it.
Wait, LOL has a 40k look alike already?

Valve should not allow a pause until all players have picked. It gets old watching opposing stacks waiting until you pick and then repeatedly pausing so they don't lose gold while picking.
He is kind of... until TB gets a manta (which he will get very quickly), then skywrath is just food.

TB can Manta out of his silence. Regardless, Skywrath is a vastly underrated hero these days. His long duration, long range silence is so fucking good and wrecks so many heroes, it's not even funny. It's his best skill.

Concussive shot also homes onto TB if he's just pushing with illusions.
Chinese meta is so crazy right now. Pure blend of TI2/TI3 lol--bat, alch, ds, invoker are all first rounders. Morph vs AMs. Lycan banned nearly every second round (though I haven't seen him win a game yet in this Sinacup).
Surprised they have completely ignored Ember Spirit though, he's not even late picked or banned, ever (from what I've seen).

I thought exactly the same thing. I want to know what the West is doing now (apart from Ember Spirit) since I haven't watched much western Dota.
The CIS scene seems to like Dazzle and Slardar a lot right now. That's all I've noticed off the top of my head.

There's been so much
stupid
Probably the only exception, kind of a big deal
I hope the workshop is only for submitting maps that you'd like to receive donations for via the valve store. I liked the unregulated WC3 lobby system. If there is mandatory submission how am I going to get my dbz maps.
Pick him before the other team does.
Terroblade is extremely easy to kill with the right amount of stuns and timing. Get some heavy nukers like Lina, Luna or Skywrath. Skywrath is good because he has a silence and a high damage ultimate. If catch TB off guard when his Metamorphosis is down and stun-lock him to prevent Sunder, you should be fine. He requires good farm to get going, and can be a real pain in the ass late game, so get on it early. He's basically Antimage killing priority, but with no escape.

Probably the best early game hero to deal with TB, more specificly in the laningphase, is Dark seer. Ion Shell is magical which goes right through his armour, and surge kinda nullifies his slow. Once you hit lvl 3 with soul ring TB just can't farm without a support there assisting him (which prevents roams to mid).
Wall also dicks him over in the late game, specially if you build aghs.

I wonder if these new items will ever enter the drop system. It's usually hit or miss with player sets in the drop system (Ice3 and those Russian casters drop, others do not for example)
All I know is I better not be on that fucking list.
No Rapier? Pfft, weaksauce.

My guess is that Clockwerk will have a visual update really soon and him, Treant, Tinker and Terrorblade will be ready for cosmetics (the latter three are already set up, just not on the workshop requirements).
I don't really think they'll set up Clockwerk for items without remaking him first, his model is ancient and so low res.

I wish there were other things on than russians and sheever feeding. Her solo is around 3600 and her party is 4200... talk about huge disparity thanks to bolldoge being in love with her
I don't think its going to be this huge visual remake for Clockwork of Tinker, its likely going to be similar to when they broke up Gyro, there will be some minor changes to his model, but he will still be mostly the same.
Treant will likely not change a bit.

I think Tinker's model is fine (iirc he actually had a texture update way back when they first started hero remakes). Clockwerk is awful though. Super low res, blurry textures.
Yuck
What's weird is Clockwerk had a visual remake in the files forever
But it's just been sitting there for years...
It's pure silliness, but my record as mid Sky starting with Null + regen, then rushing dagon before getting boots, skipping ult till everything else is maxed is like 6 wins 1 loss in ranked :O
When you're popping into a side lane with a dagon at 8-9 minutes, lvl 2 silence and lvl 4 nuke, silence then nuke/dagon/nuke kills pretty much anything that's there (supports don't even need 2 nukes to die). Then you get your brown boots and start upgrading dagon. You get a nice level advantage from hero kill exp and just start roaming around blowing shit up. Game tends to end with 15+ kills and <5 deaths lol
It shouldn't work as often as it does, but it does. I'm sure I'd get wrecked if I tried this with 5k+ players though.
What about if I need to doom multiple targets in a teamfight. Its still taking out 40% of their team

I though that was an early model?

If it is, it has a higher texture quality than his current model
Clockwerk was one of the first heroes in D2 beta, and I seem to recall that color scheme being much closer to the original, but the original texture quality was nowhere near that good. His armor looked chunkier and like a plastic toy, kinda similar to Ancient Apparition almost.
Wish I could find a picture

how do you attack your own creeps in the default set up.
Select attack (A by default), click creep.
isn't he a steampunk cyborg or something?
He's a "Keen." Same race as sniper and tinker.
Tin can iron man.
Why do you think everyone calls him iron man?
For those who didn't manage to get first-wave tickets for ESL-One Frankfurt they're on sale in an hour.
