Support NeoGAF

A few notes:

Windranger:

Have been trying Carry Windrunner in offlane and mid. Variable success. I love the attack animation but I feel that spamming powershot eats all my mana very quickly, even with a bottle.

When roaming, sometimes I feel my teams don't know how to make use of my shackeshots. It's so satisfying to get a good shackle but then doh when no one follows up.

I prefer to get 3 or 4 creeps low with auto attacks and then hit them all with a powershot for maximum farming in the lane-ing phase. If it hits the enemy its just a bonus.

I really feel that blink is core on WR though. Often in fights you're in a bad position and cant get a proper shackle without a blink. Nothing is more satisfying than a 2 man shackle - powershot double kill, or a blink - shackle - ult kill

This is pretty tense.

Casual bathroom break

DK look like they're on the back foot here. They have less error for mistakes I think but I'm hoping they take this one!

 

[Raytow]

70 mins laning phase.

I can't win any of my DK games solo queue.

I think he needs some coordination behind him.

He's a early game/mid game tanky team fight carry. lvl 6-16 with some attack speed and a bkb is where he shines.

Farm safe lane or mid with fire breath and a soul ring until either the enemy leaves and you take his tower, or the enemy comes to gank you and (here's the hard part in pubs) your tp support kills them as they underestimate your tankiness.

Once you take the t1, every time your ulti is up you take a tower as 5. He does so much tower damage that they have to respond and you can counter initiate with dragon tail.

He fails hard when you teammates loose their lanes. You don't want to ulti to gank or defend, and his tankiness is useless without some good teamfight to back him up. and then he falls off pretty hard after lvl 16.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Dota 2 is the best game ever I think

 

[Kard8p3]

bo7 chinese dota is the most real full time job ever.

 

[Mohasus]

Feels like TI3 all over again.

100 last hits to 1000!

I love this, I wanna see them supports hit lvl 25.

 

[Lotto]

BKB should only be allowed to be bought once per hero per game. Buying fresh 10 second BKBs prolong these games. It probably wouldn't make too much of a difference but I still think BKB shouldn't be refreshed like that. I love me some long slow Dota but buyback is a good enough insurance already.

 

[Randdalf]

I'm kind of fearing that TI4 will be dominated by Chinese Dota.

 

[Semblance]

You know when you're super tired and things that aren't really funny are suddenly hilarious

Seeing that Ferrari donkey just cracked me up so damn hard.

 

[domlolz]

i assumed i was gonna miss the grand final, what game is this? bts don't have the game counter up

 

[W1SSY]

Ferrari has a way to go if he wants the record for most last hits. He is about 300 off.

[Balehead]

This is the second game and the first was about an hour long.

Morph could buy a necro 3 and put that on the courier too.

Bo7 in dota are the worst idea ever.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Just tuned into this DK vs iG game, why was dire dragging their courier along?

 

[Hazaro]

430 actually had 20k gold in hand before he bought back.

oops yeah misread that

 

[Razzer]

It had a manta on it. Morph takes the manta, pops illusions, puts it back on courier and gets his other item back. 7-slotted.

 

[Ketch]

IG won the first game? where burning's ember got a first blood triple kill?

The hell are you complaining about? This is amazing, I'm hoping for a China x China TI 4 final.

So kinda like Druid's Spirit Bear? I see.

 

[ubercheez]

That reminded me of the longest game of TI3. Which was, coincidentally, also between DK and iG.

Feels like I'm watching dragon ball Z. 30 episodes until something happens, and then it is over in seconds.

I like it when matches are this close, but geez 7 games of this is too much.

 

[Shinypogs]

It was a long game but I actually found it really enjoyable, there were still plenty of intense fights and pickoffs and I got to see a lot of item combos and strats that teams usually never get to because most games don;t stretch this long. I don't want every game like this but one series of long games this good every now and again is fine.

 

[Usobuko]

I don't know if I have the time or energy to watch DK comeback.

 

[Gofu]

I fucking hate chinese dota

 

[Kard8p3]

i cant keep going on

 

[Acinixys]

So potentially 5 more 1 and a 1/2 hour games

noty

 

[LiQuid!]

get the dongle on top of my seating position

Tag worthy imo

 

[Conceptor]

lolllllll do you think non-china teams facing China teams will let matches at ti4 get to these points

 

[LiQuid!]

I'm so happy to see Brew in this meta guys, I can't even tell you. Now I just need some god damned HATS. If Brew doesn't win the arcana vote I'm going to HOTS.

 

[ElyrionX]

DK is two games down?

Don't say things you can't take back.

 

[Marauder Shields]

I'm not planning to sleep tonight, so I'm down for 7 games.

 

[Kard8p3]

fuck this im going to sleep im sure itll still be on when i wake up

 

[Marauder Shields]

Last pick Naga. My mind is ready. Can't imagine this game going too long given IG's line up.

 

[Usobuko]

I fucking love this Naga Pick.

 

[call_kotaku]

So are these games literally like TI2? I only vaguely remember it because I watched it without knowning anything about DOTA back then

 

[G.ZZZ]

Who won that G2? Lol.

Also technomancer literally uncarriable.

 

[M.D]

Who won that G2? Lol.
