(W) Deth Lazor 75 Mana SkillshotCooldown: 15 seconds Charged attack that deals 60 to 120 damage to enemies in path. Damage and range increase the longer the ability is charged up.
(E) Xplodium Charge 60 Mana Area of EffectCooldown: 12 seconds Places a bomb that deals 465 (85 + 20 per level) damage to enemies within target area after 2.5 seconds, stunning them for 2 seconds.
R) Robo-Goblin 100 Mana Heroic Ability Cooldown: 80 seconds Transforms in to a Robo-Goblin. Basic Attacks deal an additional 250% damage to minions, mercenaries, and structures and also reduces the duration of Crowd Control effects by 50%. Lasts for 16 seconds.

They did, but by the point Akke had his Aghs up game was already over.
Skywrath pick up for Alliance.
AND HUSKAR
too bad that in my swamp tier, ancients go largely unnoticed
So time for some theorycrafting.
What do you guys think of aura support Legion Commander, especially against the current Lycan/Naga push strats? Her nuke is super potent now and deals crazy damage. Almost 600 damage if you can get 3 heroes and 5 creeps within it's range and does bonus damage to those pesky Naga illusions. She's got an amazing stun removal/heal/aspd buff for your carry, not to mention the 4-5.5 second Doom. She can also jungle pretty decently for a support hero and has one of the highest int gains for a str hero. Grab a vlads, mek, ac, shivas so your auras remain active during duel, which should also make you pretty tanky when you go for those duels. Can this be done
?

?More like Axe I would say. You would need a bit of farm.
Wouldn't really change how she's played now, I think. The stars need to align for her to carry, most of the time she's a single target Axe.
This Huskar is going ham!
Well, as a carry, her jungle sucks right now. She's much better in lane, which takes a spot away from your real hard carry. But jungle semi-support? Perhaps more viable?

I thought about support LC when they first released her purely because of her Duel being an even longer weird Berserkers Call, completely shutting down a support wanting to use spells, and her heal. Now with the OO buff it might work. It's at the very least worth a try.
Alliance TI 4 champions, believe!
Do they typically play strats they've done on their personal streams? I'm hoping to see wisp PA.

Double casual Perseverance, Alliance got 6.81 down.
Bulldog playing Huskar like a true man.

SON OF MAGNUS STRIKES AGAIN
Possibly... in pubs. I still think she's lacking that intangible something for comp play.
Yes. It's because Lifesteal works particularly well with his passive. It used to be that you went either suicidal Spears spam, or unkillable rock with Lifesteal, or toggled between the two.
Now you can have both!
http://dotabuff.com/players/38148674/matches
Salve + 2 tangos + 2 branches for harass in lane. Phase boots first, meka second, ARmlet third, Satanic fourth (sometimes you want Halberd before sata here, like for example against viper), then it's situational.
But yeah, lifesteal as a first item sucks since you got no damage. Once you get 200+ damage (phase + armlet + satanic) you can sustain urself easily with lifesteal, and sata active give you basically four lives (one is ur own, one is meka, one is armlet and the fourth is sata).
Does this change mean Eth. Blade Huskar is back?
Makes sense. Not sure if I'm going to like seeing Huskars everywhere in pubs though.
No because you still can't Orb attack through it.
I thought Burning Spears wasn't an Orb attack anymore though?

That just means it's a normal attack now and it was never possible to attack through those when in Ghost form.
Anyone have any notes on what they did to the bot ai? I play with a couple friends and it's noticeably different. It seems like the bots don't just ball up 100% of the time after 10 minutes. They are split pushing and using other tactics but I'd like to know more about their improvements.

Well the ult is kind of interesting, but he's pretty disappointing in terms of sheer creativity.
He's basically just this guy:
with some small (meaningful but small) variations to how the QWE work. I'm not impressed.
I played two bot games last night and it seemed the same.
