you do realize the codes usually sell for more then the cost of them items dont you?
you basically get the stuff for free.
Alot of people also collect these figures and have had figures for 30+ years.

You really asking why people buy nerdy, expensive shit on NeoGAF?
i won't open it for now and if the prices don't go up in the next few days i'll just use it
haha this actually happened before, i bought a chest and got some manta weapon for AM that sold for 8 or 10 dollars iirc, sold it and got a new one from the same chest afterwards
Ty so much, how you practice? vs bots?
Perfect World Figures delayed possibly till after TI4
That CM looks much better than the TI4 statue.
The TI4 Slark is my favorite though, and I don't even like the hero.
none of my fave heroes other than NP get any love
Is it a mini figure? What are you going to do with it? I need at least a 2 paragraph justification before I approve any purchases.

FigureGAF takes offense. Figures are great. Put a few on some floating shelves instead of a poster/piece of art.
Its like $1 less to just buy the bundle from the market

League is pretty fun, lots of action not much last hitting.
Aghs first is needed now because they changed how the stat distributing works on the clones. Before it was only 30% stat share without aghs, now it's 0% without aghs if I remember it right.
So if you want your clones to have any stats at all you need aghs first.
mmmh already played vs bots in medium, 0/2/12 D: and yep aghs first for stats
Well yeah that's why I'm thinking it's pointless, but if I'm getting so many is it worth trying for bonus drops?

Roshan's respawn timer is now random, between 8 and 11 minutes after he's killed, to stop teams from camping out like clockwork at the 10 minute mark
The jungle camps have been shuffled around a bit. The only major difference is that the primary pull camp on both sides is now small creeps instead of medium, making pulling less effective although still viable

Rosh now spawns 8-11 mins after death instead of always 10. The pull camp has been swapped with the camp with the smaller leash time, so the pull camp is now a small camp and the previous small camp is now a medium camp. Also, the safelane creeps move faster in the early game and the offlane creeps move slower, so they meet halfway through the lane rather than at the safelane T1.
I guess if youre going to open 3+ chests you might as well just buy them. I mean if you get a Timbersaw set and a Courier you can sell them for $20+ and get all your money back
Well, this is a thing on the workshop:

To practice mechanics stuff go into a private, local lobby match with cheats on and give yourself enough money to buy a blink, bots, aghs and heart. Then level yourself up to 16, control group your meeps and practice moving them around the map and blink-poofing.
Bot matches are terrible for practicing stuff like succeeding in a lane because your AI teammates steal last hits, opponents will deny with inhuman precision and bots follow ridiculous gang-rapey AI routines that will cause 5-man rotations on you that make little sense aside from just cock blocking you from having a good time. I would just get the basics of executing down and then suck it up and take your losses in matches against players while you practice. I'm still not great at blink poofing in the heat of battle but I've been able to fudge my way thru some pretty successful games against actual players with just the basics.
So is blocking the creeps still worthwhile or they'll always be pretty much at midlane?
Its always worthwhile to block creeps.

Well I still have ags up at the 18 min mark either way, I just have Vlads earlier to make farming jungle easier. I generally try not to fight before that point unless I have to or I'm bullying the lane once I have 2 Meepos.
Both the carry and offlaner have to block the creeps now. You want it as close to the tower as possible, so it becomes like the midlane where both players block and whoever does it better has the advantage. It's harder for the safelaner though as the creeps move hella fast. Also, the offlaner is the one who will be more concerned as he needs to be as safe as possible whilst the carry has supports with him. Though, this refers to high level play, in pubs you just wanna block as well as possible.

You can block but you need to start at around the t2 depending on your MS and you need to move in a straight line instead of a zig zag, until they slow down after the pull spot.
The other big change to jungle pulling is that offlaners can get xp from neutrals if they are in range. (If you're 2v1 in the safelane you can be kind of screwed by this IMO.)

I think each of those plushies and mini figures comes with a digital unlock code for either a new chest or specific item.

Is there some kind of tax loophole if it comes with a 10 cent piece of sweatshop junk?
Why can't they just sell the codes directly?

WAY TO NOT GET CHRONO AT 6
It's more important, imo. If the offlane blocks your pull and you neglect your block, the lane is virtually lost, if you can't deward, since the creep wave will practically be under the offlaner's tower.

bought so fucking hard, got my perfect witch doctor weapon. My first and hopefully only real market purchase (buying and selling essences/points during spikes and drops dont count)

perfect world can piss right off for buying out digital extremes
Eh I've been skipping Chono at 6 now and then. Backtrack and Time Lock are pretty gud and at 6 I'm not getting a kill with Chrono unless they were almost dead anyways.
