I'm only 2.5k but I learn a lot watching pros stream and also a bit watching pro games. How many games have you played?

Guys give me tips to improve my MMR.

At 2.9k now. I reckon I can at least go 3.5k though.

Be comfortable controlling your hero, knowing what can kill you, looking at other lanes and missing heroes before you act, prioritizing objectives after kills. Then:

Yep.

Currently playing a game with an SB on my team that refuses to NOT attack the fed Axe solo.

Fuck this game.

 

[Hazaro]

Just learn to let it go and move on

 

[Granadier]

It's tough to think that way when it's happening, but it's the right way to go about it Haz.

There's going to be a solo offlane Legion that seems to think it's super legit....This is going to end in tears, it's on stream now.

Fuck this Merlini stream I need to see this.

It's not that terrible since she does well with levels and can dispel slows, depends on who their safe lane is.

Offlane is also a lot easier now, so it's pretty okay, just use the slot to your advantage bottom or ask for rotations.

Guys, with Shadow Amulet allowing a unit to move during fade time, can you shadow amulet and ally and have them blink and still be invisible afterwards in 6.81?

Yes, fade time is quite long

Oh I'm going to get a lot of use out of this.

Holy shit attacking the enemy without drawing aggro is going to be useful as fuck once I figure out what 500 range is.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Slayed Ksan and 1.09 twice yesterday. Dayum.

 

[Chris R]

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I must be missing something, why is Timber good versus strength heroes?

[call_kotaku]

[Kard8p3]

whirling death reduces hero's main attribute.

 

[ViviOggi]

BTS chat in full Thacker mode

 

[Semblance]

whirling death reduces hero's main attribute.

Think it's like 15% reduction too. It's pretty nasty.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

whirling death reduces hero's main attribute.

I thought I was forgetting something about Whirling Death.

This C9 game is so odd.

 

[iamblades]

These fail ganks.

 

[SamVimes]

c9 is drunk

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Loda what are you doing

what is this build

 

[Semblance]

Bone7 just zipping by Sing then going back in to his death after Sing blew up

Man.

lol.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

What a shitty Storm Spirit pick. He did nothing but feed.

Did egm draft this game?

He had the crown logo on him during drafting but I don't know if that still means he drafted.

 

[Nymerio]

[iamblades]

what is this build

I think he just thought they were ahead enough that he didn't need the battlefury first to farm well, or just that he didn't want to wast money early on drums when he was planning to Skadi later anyway.


Skadi is a good item.

What a shitty Storm Spirit pick. He did nothing but feed.

He had the crown logo on him during drafting but I don't know if that still means he drafted.

I mean it was a last pick Storm after the enemy team had disruptor, so storm would have been useless as an iniatiator even if he had a place to lane early and didn't feed horribly trying to force ganks on a max flameguard ember.

But as bad as the draft was, they could still have won if they were patient instead of going all in and feeding multiple kills to the ember.

 

[Shinypogs]

Pleased that Alliance won that game but omg that poor wisp
He just sounds so sad when you kill him, clearly needs buffs.

Skadi is a good item.

You know in hindsight I think his build order might have been on purpose. Get Ult orb and Point Booster to have some bulk for early ganks, then transition into BF before finishing the Skadi for the late game. Not saying it's the best choice, but it might have been intentional.

Shinypogs pls

 

[Shinypogs]

Oh I know he doesn't really need buffing but I always felt bad that of the fundamentals he seems the most innocent and weak by himself. I'm sure that gameplay wise people could give good reasons for further nerfing him but I just always feel worse when I hear a wisp die than I do for other heroes.

* Cares about lore and feels too much.

 

[iamblades]

Envy's midas lust is going to fuck him over again i think.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Akke Jesus :kreygasm:

By the way why isn't valve pushing the patch today or something? It seems pretty bug free, they could just wait for DH to end and publish it

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

^^I feel like Wisp is balanced right now, situational but picked a bunch.

S4 is so good, one of the best Bats around.

 

[Radec]

Alliance's lineup is pretty good overall.

Nice.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Alliance looking really good today.

Am I like the only EU Dota-GAF member? I'm half this page.
