This needs a Lifestealer poking out of Meepo's back.

 

[Phandy]

Yeh that was really cool.

 

[shira]

I opened one the other day and got 2 foils out of it. Need to look and see what they sell for.

Watching Liquid vs Revenge and they just did a team fight recap which I found pretty cool. They basically gave a rundown on how long the fight was, change in EXP, ultimate used, and stuff like that.
Got a screencap of one.

But that means nothing to the general fan. I don't even know what that means.

When you start throwing out all these stats it just makes the casters seem more knowledgeable when they actually aren't.

Like can you imagine Ayesee screaming OMG a 3456 exp shift. What a fight. From downtown

Ugh I have been in this web of crazy since the beginning of the deal with TPL and Donald and I have finally added my 2 cents.

I'm so glad don is still making items for dota2, as it felt like he was very close to giving up on dota2 after this, which is a huge shame because he is an amazing artists and we would all benefit from his amazing creations.

I wondered what had happened to that set for Dragon Knight. Such a shame, you could tell the artist put a lot of love into that.

Apparently one of the people who I regularly play Dota with killed himself earlier today. I never knew him personally, but it's bummed me out nonetheless.

Ewww slardar needs some texture work lol.

So I was watching a replay of mine as visage, and I noticed that when I clicked the gargoyles/birds they were named aegis of champions 2013 with the Alliance logo and all that crap.

Wut.

Sniper
- Added Aghanim’s Scepter: Allows Sniper to climb into a tree, changing Assassinate range to 3000/3800/4600. If the tree is destroyed, sniper gets stunned.

Wraith King
- Reincarnation cooldown decreased to 3 seconds (might be a little imba)

Lifestealer
-Infest now kills allied heroes when coming out of them (I think this one is not gonna fly.)

Pudge
- Hook has global range (I’ll veto this)

LOL

Oh man, I can't wait to watch this later tonight.

Sorry to hear that man. RIP.

that sniper aghs upgrade is fucking awesome

 

[Emerson]

Haha I kind of genuinely like that one. I'm always for abilities that actually interact with the map. I wonder if monkey king will have any interaction with trees whenever he comes out.

 

[Sibylus]

Liquid will never live this down if they lose this game.

How did you find out? Also it's sort of april fools time, so maybe it's a joke? Never know these days, even with death stuff.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Why are dazzle and centaur getting picked so much.

 

[Emerson]

Hahaha he added my suggestion:

Slark

-Reworked to be a fish man (???) He can only be in the river (????? how does he get there in the first place?) Can’t be told apart from other fishes in the river (wat??)

edit: and my other idea!!!

New Item: Ham of Mingus: Comes with only 1 charge
Use the charge to consume 1 enemy hero for 1900 gold and 2.5x experience… ok, here’s the thing, if the item’s worth less than 1900 gold you should totally have a support farm one and buy new ones every time, having a hero removal every fight, if it costs more

 

[SteveWinwood]

Why are dazzle and centaur getting picked so much.

They're good heroes.

 

[Phandy]

Thacker is laughing right now I bet.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

They're good heroes.

I can think of quite a few other good heroes that don't get picked too.


Is this some kind of Mathematician's answer.


I'm so glad that people are finally paying attention to Slardar. Amazing hero with shitty textures.

Ogre magi and omniknight are just inches away from first pick/first ban.

 

[Drkirby]

I have no clue what my Master's Staff would actually be good for, but at least its a unique effect!

Also, I asked for Invoker to be buffed some more, sorry guys.

 

[W1SSY]

Flavor of the month.

 

[Emerson]

Haha I dunno what master's staff is good for, my Ham of Mingus is way more likely to make the cut! And honestly just imagine how stupid (great) it would be if you had to be afraid of the river due to a water-based hero who might jump out and munch your ass.

 

[Marcus]

its more than that. its my life

Frogman makes a good point, how does slark ever get to the river in the first place?

Sorry Steve, but as someone who doesn't follow comp play that much unless it is the international, those answers are near useless to me.

 

[Acinixys]

I dont think I want solo Q back

I want something new

Lets call it No Shitters Allowed Q

It would only match you with competent players who are on your level regardless of MMR or W/L

Then I would stop losing due to 100% pants on head retarded players I get on my team.

Surrender Option (only in Unranked)

Users will be able to vote using the new in-game UI. When 4 out of 5 players from the same team vote positive, the game will end in the next 10 seconds and the opposition team will be awarded the win. If the enemy team has a player who abandoned the game, he will still get a loss.

Pls god no

I'll have to think it through before we add it in to main client, but maybe he starts there?

Not a bad effort, the art and copy feels official, they should have bought a cheap knockoff Dota domain to host it on to really seal the deal

Nice echo.

Can't fool me matt, his name clearly says Techies, but there is only one guy.

Well if it's fake there's a shitton of effort put into it. Also he had this to say afterward.

Of course the model is still unfinished and needs a lot of working doing.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I originally thought it was this render imported into the game, but it's actually quite a bit different and varies from any seen techies concept, so it's a really great effort

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

SURRENDER OPTION FINALLY.

GOAT GAME.

Yeh it is that. It's identical. Cyborg Matt probably got the guy who did the original model.

It's not identical. The pants are different, no bracers and the face seems slightly different.
