Well I'm only 38mins into the game so far but its not just Clinkz. You guys just pushed mid and you missed a blackhole, sven died to a tower cuz he was tanking it.
Sven died again because you guys keep pushing against invis nyx+SB Slark+SB Ursa without detection.
Why the fuck didn't you pick up sentries or something? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Honestly, the fact no one gets detection is why you guys lost. They could catch you off guard when you pushed and when you guys were winning team fights they could escape and avoid being wiped
42mins after losing mid rax and bot tower BS finally buys some sentries.
You guys do a final push into their base, gets EMP so you have no mana and barely any health so you cant stun or disable. Instead of regrouping or backing you guys get picked off one by one like you have so far.
I didn't really see a good blackhole before 47mins but I didn't watch really closely.
Bloodseeker needed to get a basher into abyssal so you guys could kill Ursa. That Dagon build is pretty shit this late into the game.
The game was filled with bad builds and questionable choices by your team. If anything the Clinkz did pretty alright most of the time.

Hylian, from the brief time I've watched your stream, I've noticed you almost never click on other heroes to check their levels, items.
I think that could help in allowing you to be more aggressive/defensive when the moment permits.
Just my 2p

I said this yesterday. From the files added over the last few weeks, it seems custom game modes, new Nevermore model and Techies will come soon.
There isn't even a way to test these test client update because ranked is locked for most people, and even so, you'd need to calibrate first. So doing it in the TC was entirely pointless.

I'm just trying to keep the in-joke relevant so that the next thread title will be #freethacker.

Better hit the market and pick it up while it's still cheap

This is exactly the problem. What are you actually trying to prove? Are you really on a quest to get better at the game, or do you just want to tell people that you're better then them?
No more croissant beard.
I wonder how they will distribute the loading screen. I have the full set but purchased piecemeal from the community store. I wonder if that will still count or if you need to have the set purchase in your Steam history.

How did they do it when they added the mask to the Councillor's set for Rubick?

word processors fucking suck I was trying to view prof comments for a paper in OpenOffice and it fucking wouldn't let me I had to go to an online converter or someshit just to see a comment that was literally "lol" at something I wrote
OT: dota stuff
I just had the most frustrating game ive had in recent memory
We do fairly well and trade towers/kills evenly for the first 20 mins or so.
Then i see that our Storm has just a Perseverance and Mana Boots (at 20 mins which is disgusting)
I say to him can he please delay his Bloodstone and get an Orchid because their lineup is so spell heavy and it will win us team fights
His response?
STFU NOOB YOU KNOW NOTHING STORM NEEDS BLOODSTONE FOR MANA REGEN STUPID RETARD NOOB ASSHOLE PLAY YOUR OWN GAME IF YOU WANT FUCKING ORCHID GET IT YOURSELF (i might be paraphrasing a bit here but this is pretty close)
So obviously we lose the next 3 teamfights because invoker and bane get free reign and Storm ends 3/14 and didnt even finish his BS
A single poor item choice threw this game imo

agh's refresher doom strikes again. Seriously, I though agh's was seen as a crappy item on doom, why is it so popular, why is it his 5th most built item and why does he have a 60% winrate with it?

I love people that go mana boots and energy booster instead of just making the bloodstone.

How far are you at this point? From the tone of your post, it seems like you're losing like 10 straight repeatedly but you seem to have just put up a multi game win streak. I mean the difference between 3.75 and 4k is roughly 10 wins worth of points. It's gonna take some time.
Haha, those arcane boots! He could have finished his fucking bloodstone already if he was smart.

Because of reactions like that.
I actually miss Thacker. His ire was simply what everyone else were saying about Russians when dota 2 was in its infancy.

They are obviously trying to get to you. And the fact you posted that here means they were successful.

Russians= Infancy, Brazlians= teenage hood, peruvians = adulthood?
We should've arranged a real-life meet up between Thacker and a peruvian.
Brazilians are the worst. I hate playing on South American servers because of them.

The power of positive reinforcement. Pudge was goddamn awful early on at landing his hooks (there were some huge whiffs at people just standing still). After about 3 missed ones, my friend starts egging him with the usual "Pudge, you suck" over voice chat which obviously upset the guy (he started to half rage over the mic) and he continued down the course of shit pudges that can't land hooks (Even the other team joined in on the fun over chat) for about 20+ min (there was one point at which CM was basically standing there dewarding and he whiffed on the hook). So I was feeling generous last night and told the guy over voice chat "Don't worry, misses happen, you'll hit the next one" and basically just made sure to top his mana off every time he threw a bad hook with mana boots (I was casually playing Ogre Magi). Then we all started cheering him on when he finally hit a hook and continued to just pat him on the back essentially thereafter whenever he made a good play. Lo and behold, dude all of a sudden started making plays all over the map and even ended up with a great score (despite his terrible start- I mean he didn't become Dendi but the hooks started landing and his decision making improved considerably over the course of the game). Eventually we went from like 1-2 racks down to pushing to win the game (I made very little contribution that game unless you're wondering- even flameblasted a creep by accident).

Don't set 4k as some sort of dream barrier, its still shit, nobody ever plays for their team in AP. You won't have those close, competitive pseudo-pro games, you'll have two dipshits fighting over mid, even when they implemented a fucking lane map.

Most likely the loading screen will just be given to those who bought the set in the past.
Heroes go in their lanes man if you got templar pudge qop and zeus quadlane mid is your only option

Anyone doing regular 5 man teams that is around 4k? I'm pretty close to uninstalling if I keep playing solo queue, people just don't want to cooperate and it ends up being a waste of time lately. Doesn't have to be ranked party MM. I could give a shit less about rating anymore, game just isn't fun when its ruined in 2 mins by dumb picks.
No but it doesn't matter it'd be cool
Hylian you need to duo queue if you dont already
Having just one other person you can talk to and laugh with about dumb shit makes the game so much better. I have infinitively more fun playing with my BFF because i know that there is at lest one person I can rely on to not be shit
Also, MMR does not equal skill. What do you expect to find at 4K MMR? Its going to be the same idiots doing the same dumb shit, just with a bigger number next to their name
