Well this is certainly something to pass the time until Smash Bros
Just like techies is actually 3 characters in one... so now too Roshan, Bloodseeker, and PL will be a 3 in one hero.
Also I think a really cool way to nerf brewmaster would be to add a 30 second saturday morning anime cutscene with rocking 80's japanese hair metal soundtrack every time he casts his ulti. Like the reverse of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IvY_Mn_79c

I don't think so. This is clearly not a diretide theme, and is strictly focused on the balanced patch (based on the teaser and all the 6.82 hints). Guessing they'll save the Shadowfiend remake/arcana for the diretide event though.

That's fine by me, as long as we get the patch notes.
I don't know, the reference to souls, the blood red background, Roshan, I could see it being Halloween 2014 easily. Then again, the community would flip in like 3 days if nothing comes, so you'll likely right.
Well there's not much to talk about until we get more information

It's a picture of Bloodseeker, Roshan and PL, not terribly much to talk about
Valve
implicitly
How are they meant to know about it unless somebody tells it to them or the method is blown out in public? It's like a mini-version of what happens in real life with regard to security exploits in stuff like Windows, where the exploit might be discovered by somebody of ill intent (or sold to somebody of ill intent) and then used for financial gain (in this case, MMR gain). So it is to their advantage not to tell anybody about it.
Like that's ever stopped the community from melting down.
I think Valve finally beat the gleaming light of expectation out of our eyes.

What was the tournament that Valve dropped a balance patch in the middle of?
Steve why do you hate gamers.

PL buff?

theyre the worst
do you even think about what you write
imagine what windows would be like if ms only patched windows exploits based on the front page of reddit
I first saw the exploit a week ago, and it has only been on eu w with russian players, so valve should just check the russian equivalent of reddit

I wonder if we'll get Techies balance changes. They haven't been touched since 6.75.
Thirst stacks never go away. Be afraid.

Got my ass stomped in again. Fuck this shitty ass hero. I just can't get a handle on him. I'm so fucking fragile even with my ult

You shouldn't be anywhere near enemies during fights. In lane, stand just inside of exp range and try to CS with the bear when you are scared. Maybe just post some match IDs, LD is one of the tankiest heroes in the game, you must be doing something wrong.

you dont even know if its an exploit you just assume two different incidents of servers crashing with the only common threads being russians and eu w are of some new bug
Obviously Microsoft don't do that, security consultancies will attempt to find exploits too and treat them in a benevolent manner, but the concept is similar is all I'm saying. I imagine Valve patch exploits which are sent to them privately as well. If you're concerned about it then you should send them an email.

I have to be close to the fight, or the bear can't attack. 900 range isn't that much, fucking Shadow Fiends and Liches and Templar Assasins all jumping on me
I'll tell you what I'm doing wrong: I'm awful at micro, especially when I have to pay attention to one unit to attack with it but the other unit is the one I have to keep alive.
The bear attack radius is 1100, that's basically blink dagger range. He's an AGI hero with good agi and str gain, his ult gives him a ton of extra armor and HP, and your extra ability gives you even more armor when active. Just right click the bear on someone, then run around like an idiot with the druid. If someone is really focusing you, run away while recalling the bear and hope for a root.
Post a replay, I'll watch it and see if you're doing anything wrong.
yes, I'll connect the dots and make an assumption, just like you assumed it only happened twice. except you're wrong, so I guess making assumptions isn't really your thing...
sorry I just wanted to vent
it's fucking annoying
I probably will send valve an email

you should try wording your posts to be more clear then

Next time it happens I will. This time I guarantee there were additional, dumb as hell factors that contributed, like our Meepo player, who's a pretty good mid, getting bullied out by an Invoker leading to a dual lane mid and me uncomfortably laning top when I wanted to jungle
it's called reading comprehension, go learn it

Probably not the best advice, but try using tye CTRL key option to issue commands to both units. I find it works pretty decent for lone druid, just issue the command for both units and then move the druid as normal.
