I should also mention that Earthshock plus a Skadi hit does 90% slow, so pretty much like a diffusal blade purge. It's pretty fucking good. I daresay as good as Deso for going around hunting down heroes.

No one runs from the bear.
Edit: This is what it'll feel like for supports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixvh-8W1OS8
It appears he has Dark Seers items profile
To be honest I think you may be better off just turning the Mask into a Vlads still, the armor aura+life steal is still really good. I personally want to do some Diffusal Ursa. Gotta be a team player!
Also, I don't a super early solo rosh is actually pub viable on Ursa, I tried it a few times and just got bashed to death.
You been watching Purge videos?
Wouldn't helm be better now, since it would build into a satanic. Satanic seems like straight up the best Ursa item now.
Same for Huskarr?
I don't know for certain with helm vs MoM. You can't farm stacks quickly with Ursa so that part of the Helm is useless, but Satanic is better than Madness late game. But like I said MoM actually increases your farm rate by a really large amount. So you may end up getting other core items up quicker if you get it. The extra attack speed when overpower isn't up is also really good for killing, obviously.
Also Kirby, what did you go into rosh with? I had stout + Morbid mask and level 3 with 2 in fury swipes and one in overpower. If I ever got low I just waited for Overpower to cooldown and used it to get burst heal. By the time rosh gets you to dangerous levels the amount of heal you get from that should be able to keep you comfortably safe.
And I guess I'm just having Purge rub off on me after watching his vids a lot when I first started playing.
Edit: Having now done it again a few more times, this time against bots set to hard difficulty (so that I would be contested in lane to an extent), it really relies on having an easy lane. You need to get to rosh as quick as you can, and even then, if he bashes a lot early on you are screwed. If you can get enough stacks up early then bashes become less of a problem cus you heal so much from each hit. That said, treants or some other summon would make this ez cus they could tank whilst you get those stacks up.

He's been practicing Invoker all day, maybe a hint at what we can expect from EG in the future given that they've mainly been drafting farming mids for him recently and Invoker is one they rarely if ever picked.

So I got to thinking about Sun Wukong and how there are a ton of different Wukong characters in the genre.
What type of character should Dota's Monkey King be? League's is a very generic bruiser (he fits the mold to a T) with very slight trickster capabilities so I would hope Icefrog can do better. I haven't played HoN or Smite so I won't comment.

The throw of the century. We had this one won at 25-30 minutes, but rezuth and I were ready to push off of kills, and then the rest of our team leaves. Unable to take on whatever is coming for us by ourselves, we have to back too. Gyro is busy playing farmville for 52 minutes and just refused to fight with us. Don't believe me? Look at my hero damage compared to his. Invoker was giving ME Alacrity instead of Gyrocopter. I didn't even ask for it.
Invoker would keep ghost walking into the entire team thinking he would get to go ham on them with his Aghanim's and kill them all. That ended exactly how you would expect.
See how the entire enemy team has BKBs? That should also indicate how much of a throw this was, as the supports took FOREVER to farm those BKBs.
I know people think my bitching about teammates is usually unwarranted, but this one I think it is totally justified. Sure, I made some mistakes, and tried to learn from them. But when you have a team like this you still cannot win, even if you play perfectly. I just do not understand people sometimes.

Wasn't the rumour that Dota's version would be able to turn himself into one of the enemy heroes?
I pretty sure that was just made up stuff.
Yeah, probably, I can't find it on google. Nevertheless it would be a cool and interesting ability to have.

Speaking of throws...
Holy shit I thought we were done for over and over and over again. Invoker NOOB CYKA but then we told him to STOP FUCKING SUN STRIKING and he helped kinda with some nice nados.

I've never gotten into an inhouse, always full so fast.
Can someone give me a summary of what happened there? Besides "reddit mods".

yes
liquid isn't even going to TI4 except hotbid, no need for merchandiseAlliance jackets look so tacky
The Team Liquid ones are nice but I don't think those are for sale
Literally below coal tier.
I think Liquid has a solid chance to make it to the wild card match, and they likely even get a free spectating booth.
Wait wat do I have to do with this.
You're better than freakinchair.
this is what i get for playing dota instead of homework
