I wonder if Peruvians/Russians complain about English speakers ruining DOTA.

I've seen them complain about Americans, usually saying something like "Well you are bad because you are American" or "Stupid hamburgers."

What happened to WR that makes her crap all of a sudden? She used to get picked and do really well around ti3 if I remember correctly.

I think I might prefer the 10MB gif over that eye cancer webm...

Well, I guess some people love 10fps more than anything

Not FOTM

RTZ has been spamming her mid lately. He does well from what ive seen

Goes Phase - Maelstrom - Force - Blink (for sick shackles)

Is it true that the shackle latch radius is based on WR's position right when it hits not right as she throws it?

 

[Anuxinamoon]

I would love shackle to get some damage added to the skill. Either HP removal * duration of shackle time, or just straight magical damage applied.

Its the only stun that doesn't do damage afaik.

It'd be cool if it amplified any damage done during the shackle. Right now there's not enough award for how tricky it is sometimes to land it.

 

[Pratfall]

It's not her position, it's the targets position. So if the target changes position mid flight it will latch or not latch based on their position when it hits AFAIK.

They aren't mimicking the silence in-cast. What a disappointment

Game of throws

 

[inkls]

Lol at VP's dragon knight getting 2k gold in around a minute.

 

[iamblades]

Apparently VP is using the 'feed kills until 30 minutes, then harvest killing sprees for ez gold' strat.

 

[Anteo]

It's not her position, it's the targets position. So if the target changes position mid flight it will latch or not latch based on their position when it hits AFAIK.

We already know it takes in account the final position to the target, but it needs a second point of reference and that second point is WR herself, the question is, Is the second point of reference taken as she uses the spell? or as the spell lands?

Maybe resistance reduction for shackled enemies or magic damage amplification as long as the shackle latches.

They love their comebacks.

6.82:
Windrunner
Changed to: Shackles the target to an enemy unit or tree in a line directly behind it, and to another unit behind that. If no unit or tree is present, the stun duration is reduced to 0.75.

Boom, viable.

 

[Anteo]

Just add slow after a succeful shackle ends, so she has more time to get hits with focus too. Synergy with her own spells and it becomes a scary stun.

 

[Acinixys]

This VP comeback

Damn

Mouz wins early game

Fucks up everything else

This aghs refresher Silencer is destroying

Or just make it so that instead of scaling the successful shackle duration, keep it at 3 seconds all levels and replace a missed shackle with a scaleable slow from 1-3.5 seconds as well as slow %.

This would be amazing. Missed shackle should do a mini stun + 2.5 secs of slow

I believe the reference point is her original position, so you can't throw the shackle and then blink and have it affect the latch.

 

[Divvy]

game of throooows

 

[inkls]

6.82 - Shackle now steals int for 60 seconds for every successful shackle.

 

[Mohasus]

Make it something like a chain lightning that stuns.

This seems like a better option to me.

The shackle is already plenty good when it connects, but the range/angle is so flukey that it is frustrating sometime when a shackle doesn't connect when you think it should.

Having a better failure state than the current mini stun makes it a more versatile ability.

 

[ksan]

i just wanna cry

 

[SamVimes]

I can't believe people are actually talking about buffing windrunner.

 

[ksan]

ns is a hypocrite

never thought he'd embrace the rat

 

[Mohasus]

While that is true, it is more likely to hit a shackle that shouldn't.

I can't believe people are actually talking about buffing windrunner.

It is a pretty shitty hero right now.

 

[Messiah]

OH MY GOD IT'S OVER

 

[Randdalf]

Hnghh. Steam Guard is failing me. I wait for like 20 minutes for the email, resending it three times, nothing... so I restart my computer (fresh Windows 8.1 install) to install updates, lo there are three Steam Guard emails in my inbox but they're all expired.

So how legit is Medusa ancients from level 1?

Just asking because I ran into it last night... Only problem was that the Medusa was on Dire, and we had wards...

So yea...

 

[Haly]

Windrunner is a good hero, her problem is she doesn't do any single thing well enough to justify picking her over some other support/offlaner. That's her "weakness", lack of specialization.
