I think Rod of Atos could be cool on support Gyro, since you can use it to run people down with your first spell and it also stops them from just running away from your missile.
I just had great game were we, mostly melee characters was about to win against the all-star gang of limited pick assholes (sniper, viper, drow etc), and then the majority of the players gets disconnected and only two from my team manage to get back. I get hit with the item bug too so needless to say my WK and the other Sven got fucked in the ass.
Fix this shit Valve...

Playing as a support worked in the end. Gyro dies too quickly to be a carry.
On paper, LC seems like an insanely good hero. Good to great starting stats, decent stat gains, every skill is really useful. Yet I've seen her start well so far but always seems to fall off after going a little too deep and taking a few deaths. Really want to see her in full glory late game 6-slotted with hundreds of stolen damage.
Her toolset makes her an increadibly aggressive hero, and late game there are some risks to that.

Keep your team in the game with your double BF daedalus sleight damage for an hour, lose the last team fight and your team blames you for throwing. Ember can't win 
I didn't throw!

Does alliance ever win anything at all anymore?
Every game I watch with them playing they lose...
Ever since their old rat strategy fell out of the meta they've been losing hard, now a new patch and longer games and they still lose vs teams like cloud 9
Did they really only have one trick up their sleeve?

Just ragequit for the first time in a looooong fucking time, but I was in a three stack and we ended up with these two non-english speaking assholes. This storm spirit goes mid, dies repeatedly to Huskar, and never ganks. This Mirana insists on coming bot to, I dunno, support or something with Luna and Lion, despite the fact that our fifth is a KotL and we don't have another offlaner. She proceeds to fucking autoattack and spam her arrow, leaving her constantly mana deprived. Finally when I went mid to try and farm and Lion and I just manage to eeke out a kill on Huskar only for me to die to his stupid flames I said "fuck it" and took the abandon, mostly because they also had a Spectre and a PA and I knew there was no fucking way that game was either a.)ending before 50 minutes or b.)going in our favor
FUUUUUUCK
FUUUUUUCK
I assume because they have nothing outside of Zai to stop TPs.

My team was mad that I went back to my remnant next to the T4s after I got hexed and entangled and my flameguard was gone. I kept all the lanes pushed out even with 2 raxes down, but I guess it might've been better if I committed to team fights and died along with my team instead of artificially extending a game that was pretty hopeless.

Only so much carrying you can do. Flame them all.
I could see it in some situations, but you already have a pretty reliable movement skill that has a 4 second cooldown.

why does this dude keep saying NARVI instead of NAVI?
Navi.US used to be called North American Rejects

So far, I know the the two best heroes to pick to lose a pub game at my MMR:
You are all trolling me, right?
- Bristleback (8 games for a single win)
- Gyrocopter (7 games for a single win)
- The Old Phantom Lancer (5 games for a single win, patch 6.81)
You are all trolling me, right?

bristle is good hes freelo
To be fair Cloud9 is one of the best western teams now, probably top 4.
And sure Alliance isn't doing great these days, but they went 3-1 in starladder today. Chessie played brilliantly.

I guess it makes sense but they are no longer NAR and are NAVI. I hate how it sounds too.

Gold for assists.
Edit: I meant "AoE Bounties" as DrKirby mentioned.
Same reason Urn of Shadows works great on Spectre.
To add to this, it looks like you get the "AoE Bounty" as long as you get the kill, no matter where you are. So it basically doubles the amount of gold she gets for global KSing (She doesn't get any gold for simply getting an assist with her ult though, if she doesn't get the kill she has to be in the AoE)

Plus like he's the only dude that you should go vanguard on to begin with, so its like they made a new item just for him.
I got told I was stupid for buying force staff on timber vs a silencer. And then when I force staffed away and they all died I got pinged out for running from the fight.

Is anyone elses mouse freaking out in game lately? Its only in Dota, but its like I've got super bad lag, sometimes the pointer even seems to disappear
I was absolutely crushing the other team today, EXCEPT for their bristle. All he had was a blademail, crimson guard, and a sange, but dude was tanky as all hell. It's really a great item for bristle if you can build it in time.

no bro, not until the 30th at 1pm EST.
two more sleeps.
I have cried myself to sleep waiting for this game for 1.5 weeks now.
Literally worse than with Bristleback.
Help!
Gyro is the first hero of my challenge so.... lemme know if you ever figure it out.
My idea is to do what milk said and go solo mid max homing missile, but then maybe buy blink dagger and max rocket barrage next... so like 4/4/0/1 by 9. blink, phase, aghs, bkb... I don't know. I think that hero is shitty.
Probably two for more since I doubt GMG will release the keys immediately when it comes out.
Do you have digital or physical? Cuz digital unlocks at 12 am pst
but ya i feel u, im hella hyped for this game, hard to concentrate on school work.

I don't get why Blademail on Bristle isn't treated like Battlefury Bounty was by the community. You only reflect reduced damage, and you almost want to entice people to hit you. The casual platemail into either AC or Shiva's does so much more for everyone involved.

You go fast, they go slow. Pub games.
