I made a Terrorblade rage quit with Offlane Lich.
Kirby's guide to offlane lich: Deny a creep and body block creeps. When you get to the T1 tower/zone of safty, turn around. Go back to the T3, body block the creeps. Eat creep when possible. Proceed to reap in ez xp. Q creeps/enemy heroes when convenient.

That is sickening, truly sickening. It's like Reapers Scythe because it doesn't become relevant till like 25-30 mins in when people have a lot of HP and HOPEFULLY you do as well...
Looks awful aside from the horn, that helmet just looks straight silly on him. I can't picture magnus in anything that isn't like tribal wear, the silver futuristic armour on him just looks very out of place.
Did Mag join xcom?

Am I the only one who just never levels mana drain on Lion? I don't really see the point, by the time it actually become useable you've wasted 3 levels on it and you probably have mana boots.
I got called a noob for never leveling it the entire game. But what is honestly the point, it's just a bad skill that scales poorly and Lion's other skills are better leveled.
Plus I was packing higher stats, which is more mana anyway.

Yes you are the only one. Mana drain is awesome. For reals.

Force Staff saves your ass from ganks tho. Just a couple nights ago I built Force Staff first on Skywrath because the enemy team had Huskar and I wanted to be able to get away when he jumped on me. We won that game. Force Staff rocks
Force Staff == escapes
Blink Dagger == initiation
At least in my mind it works that way.

You can force staff your teammates to a safe position too. Or force staff an enemy into your group. Really depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
bro
you hate playing vs anti mage rite. having no mana sux, rite. but it's melee so just don't get hit and it's all good
lion has MANA SUCKING POWERS to leave you crying in lane with no manas and you ignore this?
pls no more posterino
Stun -> Mana Drain all day, every day.
Icefrog specifically rescaled hex so that you get alot out of the first point, and smaller bonuses per extra point compared to before, so Lions would have more reason and opportunity to level drain.
on lan yeah sure super fun. online with the usual 140 ping fun but not that fun.
Revenge vs EG for the Summit qualifiers, the VOD is probably up on BTS's youtube channel.
I think if he kyxy'd the aegis it would have been a better play than what he actually did.
Mana boots on lion...
Just watched this. WTF? That's like something I would do.
not getting mana drain is legit, dont worry about what these people are saying
I had one that kept stunning and draining me while the rest of his team wailed on me so I wouldn't revive after I died on SK today and it was a pain in the damn ass.
the point is that on lion you can get something better than mana boots..
mana drain against WK sooo good.
So I bought a blink and started initiating on him first. ez game
Is that weird? Lion doesn't really care about which boots he has. Why not get ones that benefit your team?
Mana boots on lion are fine especially if you use them with your team, if you group up early etc.
Ignoring mana drain is good in a lot of situations but there are some laning match ups where mana drain is better. 6.5 seconds stun at level 9 is actually pretty huge, that's more than half the cooldown on both of your maxed out spells. Not to mention the extra one or two auto attacks you can squeeze in a 1v1 scenario that often are the difference between a kill or your target escaping.
Mana drain is good against a bunch of heroes that are starved for mana though like Abbadon or WK. Or if it just fits your playstyle better.

It's been really bad since the patch came out. Brought back a lot of trolls, I guess.

Dendi's overlay would look a lot better if he was using a darker/grey/black HUD. As it is it doesn't look very good.

Meepo, will it happen?
nice!
American Qualifiers
I don't even know how they can do these qualifiers
45 round robin games with 2-4 streams
Then top 4 go in a bo3 double elimination
4-6 more games
Elimination games
4-6 more games
grand final is bo5
So in less than 60 hours they have to finish 56-62 games
For 2 weeks straight.
edit: Oh yeah, IF history repeats itself compendiums should be today

Just tuned in to find that Tongfu are running Bloodseeker vs DK.
Edit: And end up wrecking DK. Man I had no idea Chinese Dota was this good (haven't watched a lot of it till now). DK or obviously not playing at their best but I've been so impressed by teams like CIS, DT, Tongfu. Chinese qualifiers for TI4 are going to be amazing.
