So I need some advice with keeping a snowball going with Slark. I can get some kills early and get a Shadow Blade/BKB/whatever but past that I just can't close out games.

Any help?

Get a Tusk to snowball you.

What is the problem? He can kill a lot of heroes early game without a lot of farm, but you need items to be viable later on
What is your item build with him?
Also, you need to be careful with the fights you take. He's really good at taking out single targets, but I see people running into a couple of heroes thinking they are safe because of their ult, but then you get chain stunned and the dream is over

thanks to this google doc thing i've discovered that my new internet pseudonym should be "anonymous narwhal"

I'm starting to wonder if the point if this Doc is to collaboratively give tips or just say inside jokes. Right now it seems like the latter.

i mean it's dotaGAF... are you surprised?

I wish I was actually good at this game

what if they leave TB OP as fuck and just never put him in CM?

That'd be disappointing. The more heroes get into CM, the more powerful Rubick gets!

what happens if rubick get metamorphisis?

 

[Drkirby]

what happens if rubick get metamorphisis?

He turns into TB's demon thing and do massive deeps.

 

[Sibylus]

Yay watching Dota with the sound turned off. Zyori is Blaze and Triumph tier of casting.

The most adorable dark lord:

hilarious

aghs should make him turn into arcana TB

I don't think TB is OP to be honest, I think at best he'd be a situational pickup in competitive.

 

[Mohasus]

Situational = whenever he isn't banned.

 

[Sibylus]

Situational = whenever he isn't banned.

Yup. Makes Lycan's push look okay in comparison. And that's after he feasts on whatever hapless support decides to lane against him.

 

[iamblades]

I dunno about that. He is fairly squishy really and needs a ton of farm.

Dat 15 base strength and 1.9 gain.

 

[neurosisxeno]

I agree. He's definitely manageable. It seems like any split pushing hero gets relegated to "OP" status when all you have are disorganized pub games as a frame of reference.

 

[Acinixys]

Stay classy DOTA community...

Thacker, pls be kind to internationals

 

[Sibylus]

Squishy, but so are your lane opponents once you hit level 3 and start hitting for 100 damage for the next 44 seconds.

 

[Omotesando]

LD losing his voice.

 

[Pureauthor]

LD going to collapse onto a bed after this is done.

 

[Semblance]

I kinda want Empire to pull through, but I really like both of these teams. Just hoping for some good games I guess.

LD losing his voice.

His "Dazzulll!" sounded so shot right now lol :[

 

[abunai]

God damn! that COMBO

 

[Radec]

Centaur and TA melted in an instant. Jesus.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Vanskor and Resolution too stonk

Icefrog pls don't nerf Dark Seer again.

I love watching the match in game, I just watch from player perspective.

They all remind me of me.

Wait do we really need to wait an hour for game 2?

Ugh the second Sheever appears on stream twitch chat becomes fucking disgusting

IG gotta eat lunch for the comeback.

Vacuum cooldown increased by 1 second.

I wish the mods will do something rather than just encourage it.

Put it in subscriber mode.

Yeah it's usually insufferable but dozens of all caps rape her/kiss her/fuck me/nice tits is just nauseating

I always keep it hidden, how do I do that?

 

[FACE]

Nope, it has already started.

Yuck.

For the most part I find Twitch chat to be somewhat humorous (maybe because I'm immature) but it gets pretty insufferable when Sheever does interviews. Which is a bit sad since imo most of her interviews have been great.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

It's up to a mod to do that.

The mods do it sometimes, means only subscribers can chat. It's amazing when it happens on Dendi's channel and you don't have to see the godawful spam. Happens rarely though.

 

[Radec]

Game 2 is up

 

[spk]

Oh I thought you meant there was a way for users to filter it for themselves

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

I just ban people from Pyrion's chat when it happens.

 

[Razzer]

Kiss her was funny when it was Bulldog cus of the meme with them, but for the most part yeah it's ugh. Twitch chat as a whole can be pretty funny though.

 

[Anuxinamoon]

really like that slardar pick and the VS pick was pretty obvious after dazzle was taken by IG. VS so good as rescuing lassoed units.

Remember groups in ti3 from fnatic last year? VS SD was such a good bat counter.

 

[FACE]

Massive minus armor strat from iG.

 

[Ikuu]

This is the best kind of Dota.

The spam is one of the best parts of Twitch, don't really get the hate for it when it isn't like the Sheever stuff.

 

[Razzer]

Dis mid lane

Edit: Dat Deny

 

[Anuxinamoon]

Holy shit dat team wipe =O

 

[G.ZZZ]

Resolution's invoker :kreygasm:

 

[Mohasus]

wtf was that initiation? if slardar blinked on rosh, he would stun both luna and invoker.

 

[Razzer]

Ferrari just couldn't get to the fight quick enough. By the time the requiem went off the fight was pretty much lost.

http://steamprobe.com/market.php site is pretty good for finding items on the market, much easier than going through manually.
