I didn't like Kunkka until I learned how to land a boat. Now if I could just get better at X's...

2 points in x, cast torrent right after x, then you have a 1.5sec window to get in a good spot to cast boat

It's almost impossible to miss torrent with 2 points in x

Don't get more points in x till you have at least deadalus and have a use for the base teleport x cheese or self x run in splashes

OT: it's frustrating to have a bad nature's prophet on your team, especially if they pick it in a match where the lanes will fucking suck because of it.
they don't know how to push without feeding so by the time they do come online they are totally useless

 

[Hylian7]

Dumb question, why does this happen?

Nvm, figured it out, thank you Bo!

how the hell is this game "high skill"

I'm solo druid vs a viper, jugg, dp trilane end up with 5-1 before end of laning phase and 17 min rad. This is not high skill...

vHigh just means ~3700-3800+. I think High starts at like 3200/3300.

[cuevas. PhD.]

[Hylian7]

I was going to get that sound clip of Lone Druid's WC3 model's voice saying "I'm awake, I'm awake!" but I couldn't find it anywhere and couldn't be arsed to upload it myself.

 

[inkls]

Monkey King is for Diretide.

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Enjoy ranked MM with Techies.

yo cyporp you've made 3 tweets about tekeez in less than an hour

are you actually trying to cause a war

 

[Cyborgmatt]

I'm trying to save you guys before it is too late.

we still end up against bs way too often

Doom is such a balanced hero, I fed 8 kills early in the game and still won because I could press R and remove their one decent core from the teamfights

Why the hell did they pick single core against Doom?

 

[Emerson]

I really hope the end of August patch has a lot of good shit in it and isn't just Techies and the rest of the compendium goals. There ain't been a drier spell for content in this game in a long ass time if ever.

 

[dave is ok]

Guys it's only been 20+ days since TI4 ended.

They barely are back to work yet

 

[Acinixys]

That RTZ Spectre game was pretty good

Trades all game

 

[FACE]

Why the hell did they pick single core against Doom?

They had a Slark and a QOP, but 40+ minutes in QOP was pretty much irrelevant(I still doomed her once for giggles).

 

[bananabread]

I agree. It's a competitive game though. Ain't no shame in trying to see how you stack up to the rest.

The problem is when the obsession with MMR turns you into a toxic clown who no longer gets any enjoyment from the actual act of playing the game.

Also known as 'Tinker players'.

Thank you!

Real talk: We got the best thing we could ever ask for in a patch: The custom map tools. Seriously, that was the biggest thing I wanted, more than any hero.

All Pick is so fun. Love that Pugna pick 15 seconds after the game started that made my Skymage pick irrelevant.

Get Blademail.

Think about how many times Skywrath was picked at TI4, then think about how many times Pugna was picked.

Pugna is just as squishy as Skywrath. See the ward aura? Blademail plus flare and type Pugnaaaaaaaaa!! In all chat.

 

[Denzel]

ok so been wanting to actually get back into this game but this time actually become a good player... don't know how i should go about it though ( stopped playing november 2013)

been watching 1437 sneyking singsing arteezy dendi and fear for the last few weeks just to see what the new meta is

i'm lost pls help me

 

[Drkirby]

I lost every fantasy league I was in. Fuck it, I'm going to buy my own virtual trophy!

Also, why does ESL have to have that New York Lan Final on Thursday/Friday. Likely would have flew up to New York if it wasn't Thursday.

 

[The Technomancer]

There is no goddamn reason to pick Drow Ranger right now. She is literally just a worse version of Viper. She fits into dedicated Aura strat I guess, but that's it

 

[LiQuid!]

PL on my team abandons after 5 minutes due to "mom issues" I thought school was still out for the summer what is this crap?

 

[The Technomancer]

She went shadow blade. Why is it, when you're in a four stack, the remaining person is without fail a moron?

 

[Sibylus]

As a supplementary core to a main ranged core I like her a lot, but she's a hella week solo core.

Blink or Force are far better options to be sure.

Their first two picks were Alchemist and Sand King and with that information the guy on our team picked Drow Ranger.

 

[Falk]

Murphy's Law

 

[Ketch]

I got second. I don't think my trophy was genuine

 

[Artanisix]

I think she's actually really strong, especially in pubs.

 

[LiQuid!]

Lost another game to someone abandoning a game we were winning. I really don't get why people even queue if they are going to abandon for whatever reason. Just play the shit.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I think she's actually really strong, especially in pubs.

Yep.

The rework on her silence was great. I don't know how viable she is with the recent picks but she just wrecks in pubs now.

RIP in Pepperino

 

[SteveWinwood]

whats the point in even having a c9 anymore

 

[Qvoth]

c9 is stupid to let sing go
he's their most popular player, i don't know if he's the best player in there, but he's definitely the most popular, and that means biggest fanbase

pretty sure he left them not that they "let him go"
