I really liking the new Puck Set, I might have to pick it up, along with the tail from the one chest.

someone in the gaf channel in game said the best thing about that set,
its the first puck skin that actually looks like a skin
Yeah, I love it. I got one out of one of the Alliance chests. Played a match with it and damn it looks nice. I particularly like the Dream Coil and attack particles.
My mistake no, only radiance once, after diffusal. Yeah I dropped boots for rapier at the very end.
( and if my memory serve me right, replaced diffusal by abyssal and vanguard by tarrasque, Treads by travel )
I had a really hard time balancing my need for being able to survive ( mostly because of meepo and DP ult ), and dealing damage ( really didn't feel powerfull even when I was six slotted ).

That's at least 25 cash registers for 10,000 attendees.
400 people/cash register.
12 hours days = 720 minutes
So technically in one day if each transaction averaged 1.8 minutes all 10,000 could get something at the secret shop with perfect efficiency.
There is going to be a fucking stampede on the first day.
Doubt it. Valve has figured out that if you hide all the best hats as a super rare bonus for unlocking chests people will buy a lot more chests. It sucks. I opened 8 chests trying to get that Venge set back when this first started happening, didn't get it and learned a hard lesson.

I figure every hero is going to get their time in the 'picker' spotlight apart from Meepo.

It is for some people.
I'm confused by Drow's Boreal Watch Reforged. The model on matt's breakdown page looks identical to the old one. Is it not in the files yet?
Also, Christmas came early yesterday - so many hats. I got them all I think. Except the VP ultra rare courier. The VG starfox is way better.
I think we can draft a 5 man team with an Alliance logo on every hero now.

i don't get why the alliance releases sets only for the carry/mid player.
2 sets for s4, 2 for loda.
I know bulldog is getting a LD and NP set (both look very good too), but why not show some love to Akke and EGM? An akke enchantress and EGM windranger set should surely be on the cards.

Alliance with better odds than EG seems questionable.
Edit: rearranged them according to their odds rather than their IDs, or whatever that number on the left is
I don't think they're in top 5 teams for TI or anything but I don't think they should be underestimated.

This patch void is a legit carry, naga is viable again, PL gets shat on from great height all day every day. Best patch ever.
There is gameplay changes? Where's the changelog?
EGM Windrunner set
Edit: Just played another disgusting lane, this time in ARDM: Axe + Warlock. Battle Hunger + Shadow Word on a squishy hero is so dirty.

I don't get it. If you hate rat dota on principle (which is the primary reason why I see people hating on PL) then Naga is just as bad as PL, if not worse.
Would you mind explaining a bit?

plz don't pick meepo in a ranked game if you have no idea what you're doing.

Really hope EGM plays some Wind at TI
Was pretty epic watching his land totally bullshit shackles from across the map
Today I played with possibly the worst PA I've ever seen. No game sense, no attention to the minimap and pings, no decision making whatsoever.
She was so bad, That I as Venge playing 4 position ended up out-carrying her by the 20 minute mark, doing nothing but ganking all the lanes. I got an Urn and medallion before going manta and I still got a 2sh min manta, while the PA had a 35 min Bfury.
Edit: I'll be streaming for a few hours now.

There's a guy on twitch playing Dota 2 with no arms. Just made my fuckin' day. Major swag.
So is Razor just as good in ranked matches? I'm still a good way out, but I think Razor's pretty amazing. Solo mid Razor must just be completely bonkers. I really like playing Lich, too. I want to start playing Outworld Devourer at some point, well. I know he's much more complicated and difficult to play than those other two, though.
Also, how much should I experiment with other characters? How many characters should I be getting familiar with for different situations? I usually don't just try other characters randomly, I prefer researching their roles and best strategies with them first, as well as builds.
Someone pointed this out to me last night. I always pick my character right as the match has started, while everyone else waits. That's to avoid counter picks, right? Maybe I should start doing that...

I can´t believe that it´s still possible to dodge in this game. It´s such a long time now and they aren´t able to disable that command when your game is loading/done loading. So many time wasted because of that shit.
Their little threat about putting them all together was nothing more than a bluff anyway.

Naga can be any position and still be good. PL is just a safe lane rat.
They're not doing anything besides losing in every tournament but somehow they're the only team that doesn't get the "what have they won" card.

I just slept for 10 years.
I'm still new at this game but a little time constrained for now. Add me on steam and if you see me playing dota 2 i could play a game with you.
I just slept for 10 years.
Didn't you pass out on stream as well? haha
Only vanskor and resolution really impress me tbh. I think people are still holding onto that unbeaten run they had for a while. They are pretty consistent, I just don't see them do anything spectacular though.
Possibly a new player that just experimented with heroes.
Seriously, I want to smack these people's head who experimented in match against people. No, people with high experienced are fine if they wanted to experiment since at least they innate skills like map awareness.
I'm almost throw a controller near me when a friend did this with Spectre. Dota 2 bring the worst out of me

Happy to see you survived, Matt!
You went beyond the call of duty.

I see. Thankfully, it was not a big loss in the end. Better learn by losing $20.

I still have lots more to add to this but I wanted to get the initial version out before I left for Seattle.

I'll just assume that someone else play with his account. Like his brother or something.
cyborgmatt's live scoreboard page for dota is pretty fucking rad.
