This is the best option you have for starting items. Learning the aggro tricks to help throw off your opponent will stop them denying as much, hopefully. The struggle for those first few souls is the necessary tradeoff for how easy it is to dominate cs later on in lane.

getting enemy players so heated that their brain travels back to the 1950s, is pretty much the best thing ever.

I wish I was in a tier where pooled items were a thing.
Hell, if I could get to a tier where supports would buy a courier and wards 100% of the time before 0:00 I'd be happy
When I play carry, I buy the courier. Hence why I bought Butch.

But still, I can see valve trying support the less 'popular' contributors in this new chest. It's not like their items constantly gets accepted, except maybe for Robo and K-PAX.
I'm really glad they are doing this and making experiments with these new types of chests.
The only thing we need now is more communication. It'll surely make the workshop community stronger.

Less than 3 days before the qualifiers start, I need to make my predictions.

I guess. I wouldn't be so frustrated about it but it takes too long for me to get my bottle up, making the lane somewhat harder. It gets really easy about the 4 minute mark though.
Get a wraith band.

and if that's not enough...go practice him in a private lobby. Gotta learn his last hit animation and early level damage range.

He made silly youtube videos with bad drawings in paint with his goofy voice that became a hit. He got an announcer in the game and now does stuff from time to time with the gd studio and dreamleague. He'll be doing some of the TI4 qualifiers as well.
Basically just a community comedian.
listen to the russian caster
can't eat tenderloin all the time bro, sometimes that shit is just too expensive and you gotta settle for a flank.
thanks, was wondering what was the deal since I didn't find him funny

Didn't HoN get Samuel L Jackson?

He's not for everyone and his shtick is pretty one note, but I like him in small doses from time to time. Luckily that's what we get from him because he has kids and stuff so he really can't dedicate that much time to the scene.

Why does everyone seem to dislike him? I've only heard him a few times.

Eh, I'll take that over PL KOTOL.
Why? The relocate ganks are pretty damn fun and exciting.
Worst camera in the biz (switches away from kills as they happen on-screen), irritating voice, mind-boggling analysis. He's like the mega-Blaze.
I'll just quote my thoughts from a few pages back:
I'll add another quote:
"wow why would they pick ursa here??? lifestealer is so much better in every way."
*Ursa proceeds to secure first and second blood 10 seconds into the game with two big aoe earthshocks
*Ursa ends up going something like 20-1, completely melting the enemy team, three shotting morphling with ET aura
And then after all this, he actually has the balls to say, "I still standby my previous predictions, this is a new SNA team we're seeing, this is something totally different, that's why I didn't expect this!"

Ok that IS pretty bad.
Hopefully we won't have to deal with that at TI4.

"He walks right into a Sentry ward..."
because what is a Necro unit, right?
Satch is having the same issue and I was having an issue like that maybe a week and a half ago. I'm not sure what changed to stop it. I think it was the band I was using on my router, but idk. Check your ping in game when it happens. Mine would spike from 70ms up to 600ms and sit there for awhile before coming back down.

I listened to him a lot when he was doing that audio only dota radio thing.
I think he always feels the need to say something, no matter it's accuracy or importance, just to fill the air.
So yeah you get a lot of nonsense and flat out wrong things but at this point my brain has been trained to just filter out most of what he says.

Coincidentally this was the VOD I just loaded up. I'm leaving the sound on for Merlini dishing out comeuppance and pretty much nothing else.
What Stream/Game is all the hate on?
And saying wrong things is one part that really sucks being as a caster, you want to try to avoid dead time as much as possible to keep flow up and every mistake you KNOW you made it's worse to go back and correct it most of the times because it completely ruins flow.
ggggggg
