If you die while Doomed you get sent to Hell for the rest of the game.
Plot twist, Dota is already hell.
Steals Luna's current level of Lucent Beam too.

Naga Dota best Dota.
A stolen eclipse will use the luna's level of Lucent Beam. Similar thing with SF's Ult and souls. What you are thinking is picking it up in ability draft.

Had that happen with someone in a recent AD game of mine. Many lols were had.

everyone bar doom was just getting instagibbed
While I'm glad to see Alliance win I miss EGM's support naga
I don't want her to get nerfed so hard that he never gets to play her again.
She'll just go back to support, like she was before meracle/rtz.
Remember, this is the nerfed Naga from TI2.
The movement and discipline from Alliance during the whole game was pretty impressive, it was like watching Atlético Madrid play.
Maybe Empire needed some more initiation/burst to pick off the supports during silencer's ult. SD maybe not the right pick here.
DK vs MVP Phoenix next.

Do you think shortening the duration of the mirror images would be enough of a nerf to naga as a carry?
No, not unless it was pretty severe, and that would interfere with her manta/diffusal buildpath, which is classic Naga. Unless Icefrog wants to fuck that up I doubt he'd nerf illusions.
Maybe nerf the damage on Riptide/Illusion-Riptide or tweak Sing.

Song mana cost from 100 to 100/200/300. Easiest fix of my life.

Pls Bulldog no homophobia.
I only started watching during TI3, I have never seen the days of super old Naga, Lycan. Morphling who were apparently OP back in the day and have only recently recovered from whatever nerfs they received.
Btw is PL only viable with KotL and that's why we never see him now, because you can never get both of them through a draft?
I know when I started playing people fucking hated him and there was much grumbling about his appearances at TI3. I thought he was a sort of neat hero, not one I'd want to see every game but never seeing him again also seems sorta boring.
Sorry for all the rambling, I just have a hard time telling why certain heroes seem to wander in and out of popularity.
lol i love twitch chat

I hate this game.
Sadly, I knew from minute zero exactly how this was probably going to end...

Alliance drafted the Cancer combo recently and they got stomped for their troubles.
Even PL/KOTL is not as viable as you think it is. It's a lame pub strat that gets occasionally gets play in competitive, but kind of fails because you have to kiss goodbye to two hero slots for a strategy that every pro-team worth their salt knows to counter.
Yeah, PL was kind of nuts then but the meta has shifted to early game and he can't keep up. The reason Naga works is because of superior farming and Sing. PL needs another hero, KOTL, just to keep up with Naga.
A small nerf goes a long way, and Icefrog understands this better than pretty much any other game balancer in the industry. Very rarely will he nerf someone to the ground unless they were broken in the first place (Brood remake, Earth Spirit), and those are usually mechanical problems rather than number problems.

Kissing her is almost less awkward than the interview.

It is difficult to win a game with Silencer and Bounty Hunter as your only two carries.
Edit: Silencer was a support. So basically, you played Pudge + Bounty Hunter vs a team with 3 carries and two supports (and a good synergy between Bloodseeker and Spectre).

The awkwardness is palpable.
I can't believe I missed that, too much stuff to watch lately. I just like seeing a wide variety of heroes and the different ways it makes games play out. I know he was broken for a bit but teams played different when Elder Titan was a mainstay for a while and iceiceice's spirit breaker was just really neat to see.
They could literally take their shirts off and start making out and it would be less awkward then what's going on here.

Elder titan actually had a bug where he did way more damage then he was supposed to.
That got fixed and his pickrate fell like a rock.

I think naga nerfs should first nerf her out of being a mid before hurting her late game too much. Drop base armour back to 3? Mana cost or cooldown on riptide I dunno I'm not a balancer but i think if shes forced safelane in order to be able to carry you can at least try to pressure or freefarm your own safelane in response.
