pardon me?
i got a dollar bill signed by him at TI3. gotta get that dollar framed
But he will likely be At TI4 as a caster...
Also, I wonder what Valve will do about the player card. Will they just rename it?

Probably, that would most likely be the easiest way to address it.
It reads like Fear is gone for good which would be a shame.
I thought "but I will not be playing in any more tournaments for EG, and Mason will be taking my place" sounded pretty final myself.

lmao that Axe on Sheever's stream
Yea I must have glossed over that part when reading his statement originally.

Holy shit, IF is really fuckin' sick of him, isn't he? What a nerf. I really like another Skywrath buff. I'm gonna wreck pubs with him. Such a ridiculously good solo Q hero, people just haven't caught on yet.

Isn't going to make much of a difference, he's going to need either major nerfs or a rework to see him drop out of use.

Well that was entirely random
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Wisp and Phoenix are in the same voice vote bracket, what the FUCK
Guess they found a way to nerf him without wrecking the hero.
rip early game mana pool
is he almost back to pre-nerfs with this change?
Juggernaut 6.82 BAT improved to 1
Is this a solution to deathball lycan? Or at least delays it?

Lich and Centaur came through unharmed, I'm okay with this.

It doesn't change the concept of the hero but he can't come back as easily from a shitty laning phase as he's now slower a jungler. We'll see.
Its Dotacinema's IXDL, it likely will be more popular but not huge.
You can still jungle fine with the change, it's a little slower but it's not going to have any real effect.

Can you seriously vote for Pudge in the model update vote?
Come on Valve, not a third model update for him...

I think it would actually make it far slower and delay a blink by a few more minutes at least.

No, you're thinking Ancestral Spirit. It used to 1-shot the ranged creep which made ET a ridiculous mid.
I don't know, I think it's pretty significant. It means it can potentially take you twice as long to kill creeps in the jungle.. which makes it harder to be useful if the offlane gets shut down, and increases the time it takes to get a blink in pretty much any circumstance.
I don't think the mirana changes are going to make a difference... at that skill level they should be getting max range arrows more often then not anyway.
I think the howl nerf has the most impact on early trilanes, but I don't think lycan needed another nerf anyway... I think he's still overrated.
I don't think doom or tree needed a nerf.
edit: That's a huge ass nerf to invoker. That sucks. I just started liking that hero and they direcly nerf quas exort in pretty much every way. That's the only way I know how to play him... i am sad... guess I'll have to learn quas wex and be a scum lord.
mad bro ?
At least you can't pick SF! They actually mentioned him in the description.
My only hope is that pudge pickers likely don't want his model to be redone, but who knows. I predict Wraith King winning and people hoping to get Skeleton King Back, or Wisp.
I wonder who will win group 4, Leshrac or Pugna, both really could use an update model.
