I don't think BKB is a bad item against a team with two good silences. A good Riki can give a void tons of trouble.

I say drop the BF and get a Satanic. Raw HP and lifesteal is invaluable in the late game.
Every game would be Mirana, Invoker, Pudge, Void and a support vs Mirana, Invoker, Pudge, Void and a support
hahaha no tinker, right.
March wars, you would die because you wouldn't know whose march it is.

Barrier Shard Axe out of the drop system!
It's effectively an immortal now
Also gone:
Vestaments of the Ten Plagues
Forest Hermit
Master Weaver
Watchful Sotdae
Weird to remove items from the drop system right before the International, preventing them from being International tournament items.

What do you guys think of vlads on sven? Let me tell you why I like it, and then you tell me why it's bad.
The components are cheap and work well with him in lane. Pick up a quick basi and you've got like 7 armor and 70 base damage at lvl 2. A fast wand and ring of regen gives you a ton of sustain and probably a second storm hammer for securing a kill. It also synergizes really well with his armor buff and cleave, letting you push an early tower if you get left alone. It's kind of a like a half way item between afk farming sven and support sven, making you useful earlier without hurting your farm. Eventually you'd probably want to sell it for a heart or satanic or something but I think it's pretty good all the way up until then.
yes no maybe?

I would think it was readily apparent by now that the userbase of Twitch is at least 90% disgusting horny teens. Still bugs me every time I see all the spam directed at Sheever every time she's on screen.

Because perverted men like idolizing a girl who has similar interests. I can't remember who but I saw there was 1 girl streaming regularly with hundreds of viewers, who was mediocre at best with minimal knowledge of the game, but she wore super low cut shirts. I checked her archive, literally hundreds of videos with her wearing the same 2-3 low cut shirts and leaning into the camera.

Sheever is one of the most respectable women in eSports. The fact that she is a woman is almost never brought up (in the times I've watched her) and she refuses to be the flirty or ditzy girl streaming, while continuing to evolve as a caster and eSports personality.
well the frozen one is like .10 so it can only get more expensive!
I have one, so I hope it gets to be super pricey on the market so I can some cash
Yeah, that's why I get agitated. Sheever doesn't sell herself the way a lot of girl streamers do. She has actual mods in her channel that don't tolerate "TITS PLZ" from the random twitchtards that wander into her chat. Sucks it's not feasible to moderate that stuff completely out of the main TI4 chats with tens of thousands of viewers because it's really starting to get old and it makes this whole esports thing seems like adolescent frivolity.
I think the system that rotates items is mostly automated, and simply updates when the game is updated.
I think the movespeed and attack speed from MoM helps Sven more than the armor and damage from vlads. He already gets a bunch of armor from war cry.
James is too good for the preliminary shit. I'm sure he will show up for the main event.

May contain jokes =>
What exactly do you think would happen if soccer, basketball, or women's tennis was broadcast on twitch? Exact same shit. The game itself has nothing to do with it IMO.
Your job is as soon as you hit the point where you dont die instantly you kill everyone super fast. Vlads does not front load this damage or give base damage to help scale. MoM gives lifesteal. Warcry gives you armor already and with MoM you can go derp speed.
Goal is to just swipe swipe swipe crit kill everyone in 1 second. Vlads doesn't get you there.
What? I had my Dota 2 opened to watch the stream all day and all I got was some player card packs.

Facts about this game: http://dotabuff.com/matches/766035595
#1 - I kind of played like shit. I dunno what it was, just a fluke, but wasn't my best.
#2 - If Void would have listened to me and bought a Diffusal, we would have won. It removes Repel and Guardian Angel. Instead he insisted on buying that Daedalus instead of Diffusal. GG.

LOL i can't believe Ketch was trying to sell people on vlad with Sven, that's worse that his armlet idea which in hindsight is kinda okay maybe but vlads?! You know what else can you get with the same amount of monet that a vlad costs? FUCKING DRUMS, actually drums is cheaper than vlads so i rest my case gaf, please return Ketch to the crazy dota 2 theory crafting ward in Iowa.
Yes i only posted to berate Ketch for his crazy ideas.
It's not possible to watch the playoffs in-game with the analyst desk between games, is it? Or having them just run back-to back without having to manually start each game? I was watching all day on Twitch today but I'd like to get some credit for it
You cannot watch the analyst desk in game, no. You could just leave the game running in the background with autojoin on though if you only want items.
Have you ever watched her stream? She's a rager dude, it's amazing.

Is she? I've never seen her rage.
Armlet on sven is legit, you are embarrassing yourself.

Yea, Idunno about vlads, but armlet has been a thing for a long, long time.

I doubt Diffusal would have helped considering they also had Dazzle. He could have used a BKB though.
That's a new thing actually. She only recently has become a rageaholic in games she streams. It's like watching as she slowly becomes a more competent player she gets more angry about incompetence.
