I don't understand offerings, last week I gave 4 com, 2 uncom and 2 rares and got 33 points added to my compendium, this week I gave 2 com and got an armoury expander and 26 points.

I put like 3 pages last week including rares and mythicals and got one armory expander.

This time, I put like two uncommons and two commons and got a Meepo set and an armory expander. It makes no sense

I think basically people complained last week about the lack of rewards and so this week they gave out many more rewards.

So basically if you offered all of your shit last week you got mega-shafted, if you waited until this week, congrats.

The good thing about feeding as Venge is you can tell the team it's legitimately tactical.

Guys, I totally reduced the damage on that guy! Why else would I blink into a 5-man deathball with none of you around. Haha, you guys, Dota, am I right?

yeah let me waste my mana completely stopping pushes and probably hitting 1-2 heroes in the process with a 700 range, 425 radius 700+damage nuke. such a waste.

next time i play a pub i'm guna ask my kotl and tinker not to illuminate or march too often to conserve mana especially when the enemy pushes, they are going to need that for teamfights u kno.
Click to expand...

You're still seriously overestimating it. Kotl and Tinker can spam because they have means of getting mana back much quicker. At 300 mana per cast at 16, you can plant two to three (depending on items) remote mines before youre out of mana. Sure things change up a bit if you have a kotl on your team, but that isn't going to be every game.

Techies being added will be exactly like when Meepo was.

Valve may be retro actively giving people stuff for last week.

Meh, I never looked at the offering system as more than a trash can in disguise. The prospect of not knowing what you'll get from it (besides the compendium points) is already enough reason for me to not dump anything else but chests.

Kuro seems like a really great person. I didn't know anything about him before Late Night with Bruno.

Windranger if you want to play a more support-oriented hero. Like TA - I don't know. Bounty Hunter is an invis-capable hero with burst damage.

theres a difference between learning a hero and instalocking a hero in ranked CM and saying ur good with him

What about insta-locking and proclaiming "get ready for the worst invoker you've ever seen! Mid or feed."

Speaking of invoker, the enemy can't see sunstrike while it's "warming up" right? I ask because bots always dodge it and I wasn't sure if they're just cheating or what.

@alastor. Try bounty hunter, centaur, shadow fiend, ember spirit. Magnus.

They can't see it. Bots cheat, I can barely hit an arrow with Mirana, skillshots are really hard to pull off against bots.

The thing they have in common is bursting enemies down with minus armor. SF(only burst with ulti), Weaver(no burst, minus armor with q and Deso), Mirana(lots of solo burst, no minus armor), Bounty(high one on one burst early on), Centaur(high burst). I'm forgetting lots.

I've been practicing the shit out of Invoker with bots lately - I don't think they cheat because I can land them pretty often. They just take strange paths sometimes.

I talked to a girl once. Didn't care for it.

Two weeks of sacrificing boxes and commons before the altar of the Dota (trash) god and all I have to show for it is some crummy compendium points. They didn't even make it an even number and now it's driving me crazy.

Since they said it was going to be a weekly thing, I figured the best plan was to just drop like an item a week. I put a bunch of stuff in the New Bloom offerings and didn't really get anything good, so I'm sticking to this plan.
