I wish Random draft were in ranked play. I don't understand why it isn't at this point.
Also, I'm all for giving every player one ban in all pick. That or just automatically randoming with no random gold any player that hasn't chosen a hero by 0:00. I don't feel like the 1g penalty is harsh enough.

I don't think anyone straightly win against razor mid except probably zeus, and lich but then you have a lich mid. But matter of fact is that a lot of mids will be able to farm at least, like:
Sylla
Tinker can just spam march and zzzz
DK and Magnus can stand it even if melee but it's still a shitty lane.
Basically all heroes who can nuke or have meaning to cs outside of simple right click. Keep in mind that while he will "win" the lane with much higher cs in most cases, at least your hero won't be dead weight and you'll be able to recoup in midgame in most cases.
Heroes like TA or Viper vs Razor are a fcuking nightmare.

Solo, Scandal REsolution? Empire.Allmid?
OMG RESOLUTION LEFT EMPIRE.GODDAMNIT.
The best mid in CIS plz get a good team.
Him and silent should really kick the rest of empire and get decent teammates and they'd be easily the best team West after EG.

Because I'm supposed to be the best player on the team and the only one who knows what to do.
I feel it may not be Navi, or else they would have likely named the team outright.
His aura isn't the big concern during the laning phase, its the power of plasma field+static link. Not only does his Q do a ton of damage with a relatively short cd and low mana cost, its also aoe which lets him control runes. Link is a no-brainer in that if you let him steal damage for even 2 seconds your cs will be atrocious until it wears off.
The kind of heroes you want mid vs razor are heroes like:
Viper
Sniperino
SF
Troll
Puck
Tinker
Silencer
DP
Invoker
Pugna
Alot of these heroes are either fast moving heroes or have a ton of spell burst potential, which both play on razor's naturally weak MS without points in aura and his constant attempts at linking you. The exception is Viper and Sniperino, Viper just cuz he's so him, and Sniper cuz you just outrange him cyka ez. Heroes like SF and Tinker just play on march and raze to keep the razor away. Without turning this post into a tl;dr, the best way to describe laning vs razor is like playing keep-away, but with the additional requirement of having to be able to outpush/nuke plasma field as well.
but FY tho

The TI winners thing comes straight from here
Just saw Team Tinker were also announced for the Excellent Moscow Cup, definitely just a team for I-League then
Storm, Kunkka and Druid don't. Storm gets damage from Overload, and losing the base damage he already has makes that not much, but he can still LH. Kunkka has Tidebringer, and while there is the bonus damage, you lose the rest unfortunately. Druid, all he has to do is link that bear and now he doesn't have much.

How do you guys post with those dota emoticons?
That blink-dagon sound is forever etched into my brain.
Like a war vet hearing gunshots in the dead of the night.
Iceforg please, end this madness.
I just love that moment last night:
*hears bots sound near creep wave*
"oh shit"
*tinker has killed kunkka*
lol, it got pretty great towards the end
a feeling so helpless that your anger turns into laughter
like i said, it was reminiscent of a cheesy horror movie
scary robot man appears out of nowhere and instantly zaps you to death
I'm in tears.

It never ceases to amaze how bad Arteezy's playlist is.

I agree with everything in this post. If these changes were live I'd only play ranked.
That or make it so anything captains mode related doesn't take 5+ minutes to get started.
Who is this and why does he/she have the best music taste of any twitch streamer I've seen?

I'm digging it.
Yung lean was okay but the current songs are terribly bad.I think he looks at it as a challenge. To see how much he can tank his viewer count. I sometimes wonder if it's muted to him, but then he sings along.

Is this legit or playstyle dependant
Why don't you get BKB in most of your games?
It slows down my farm progression most games, I'd only get it if the enemy has massive teamfight spells that do not go through bkb, probably after yasha. I think manta is amazing as a defensive tool, it gives you the same +hp as bkb and dispels a massive amount of projectiles and creates enough confusion for the next 1-2 seconds to reposition and get my spells back up without slowing down my farm. It's also an extension to yasha so it saves me an item slot.
