I think this is really important. Half the difficulty of that hero is hitting the hotkeys in the right order. Just make sure you always have soul ring, bottle, bots, and blink on the same hotkey and it'll be easy in no time.

^nice Kirby. What difficulty were the bots on?
Do you guys think Fear's gonna delivery when he finally comes back? Is he better then mason? Will the threat of Fear's carry dissuade people from camping Arteezy mid in the same way Xboct's presence makes space for Dendi? Can EG go all the way? #RoadtoTI4!
USA USA USA!

That makes me wonder... Why don't they have the mana costs on items like they do the spells? I do pretty much know most of the relevant mana costs without looking, but still, it would be a nice thing to have.Git gud

Interesting, might give that a try.

Man i want to form a stack for AP/CM ranked but the problem i have no reliable people (aka friends) Anyone here is tired of solo queuing to just get matched with idiots? Wanna join up? I honestly would take 1 person.

You know I can never figure out how pro players are able to manage playing online tournaments with lag. I guess it's something you'd get used to but lag just destroys me.

Arteezy and AUI are considerably better on LAN.
You don't just heal from repetitive motion injuries. He's been out since the end of the Monster Invitational which means he's already had a month+ of rest. April 10th was one month and he's still not good to go.
To skip Starladder and not even attempt to go for WPC-ACE, fear's arm is more fucked up than they are willing to disclose. They prolly should pick up Mason and call that the TI lineup or it might get ugly as Fear will try to "will" himself to the International like he did at SXSW.
Guys I made a webm:

I thought that it was just an area effect. I didn't know they had to actually be hit by the shards.
ugh, webM click to play isn't working..

Hey, I did a lot of damage. All Kunnka did was stun Sven.

Why you gotta invite me at 1AM! For best results, invite me when I don't have Dota open already. If I am free I'll likely play.

Yesterday I played two games that we basically won 4v5. In the first one, we had a jungle Wraith King who farmed for 20 minutes, then came out of the jungle with a Refresher Orb (!) and brown boots. At least his skill build was sort of reasonable because the second game, we had a jungle Lifestealer who, at level 8, had 4 points in Feast and 4 points in stats. At least he got sort of reasonable items, but at the same time, when he came out of the jungle, we had already basically won. To be fair, both were unranked, but still.
Made a simple Dotabuff-like Android app that downloads your match history and generates some statistics based on that data.

Pretty cool!
Lmao my AP win rate is 45% fucking op hero of the month/counter pickers.
Edit: it also only seemed to download 500 games, and im guessing practice mode matches arent included?
The Dota API is currently bugged and only returns the latest 500 games. If that ever gets fixed (but it's been broken for a while now) the app should be able to download your entire Dota history.
Only public games are available for download, so no practice/private lobbies unfortunately.

How long are reports kept in the system? I got one of those "congrats!" notifications but I don't remember reporting anyone for the last week
As far as I know you'll get a notification and +1 report whenever someone you've reported in the past has been punished. When I recently came back from a month-long break I had like 70 new reports stacked up.

Oh, I remember that guy from matchmaking but not for good reasons, hahahah.
I thought it was like Skywrath's Mystic Flare (sort of) where if one person is in it, they are guaranteed to take damage. I thought surely some of the shards had to hit the one person standing in it.
First time I see him casting a game and I really don't like his style honestly. But hey at least somebody is casting these chinese games!
Orange vs MVP (bo3) is also live on BTS cast by GoDz and Lysander.
Has anyone played a lot of Jakiro since the Liquid fire buffs? I've heard Aui and some others talking about how good it is, and having tried it vs bots it does seem good. But what is a good skill/item build on him now? Max Liquid fire seems great, but icepath or dual breath second? Should I even pick up dual breath at all? Would Atos be a good pickup?

PFlax's artwork is a pretty close representation to how the Pudge Fatsuit Wrestling is going to be.

It seems pretty broke to me. It does as much tower dps as nether blast at level 4, but it has longer range, costs no mana and slows tower attack speed as well.
I think you need to consider whether your line-up will actually be pushing early, sometimes I take liquid fire and we end up being the ones defending in the first 15 mins so I would rather have had ice path. But if you can 5 man with an early advantage you can get all outer towers by like 15-20 mins.
I prefer to max ice path second, I still think it's his best spell for team fights, and I think 2.2 seconds of disable out of every 9 is a lot better than 1 out of every 12. Dual breath is a pretty mediocre 1 pointer, I usually take it but you can maybe skip it depending on your lane.

I take liquid fire a lot more now if I am planning to push or have the ability to harass effectively. It is amazing then. I also take a level in dual breath, mostly for the extra slow and think I max ice path second.
I never got a whole lot of farm on Jakiro, but after Mek usually Veil of Discord. After that it kind of depends on how the game goes. Rod of Atos doesn't seem useful, being single-targeted which doesn't go with jakiro and you have a slow and long range stun with a low cooldown.
If you want to go max Liquid fire then I think that maxing ice path next would be a good shout. I mean, the longer your enemy is within range, the more liquid fire is gonna go on them.
Under that logic, Rod of Atos seems like a good idea.
