probably ended up very similar to his SDD talk judging from a couple of slides/mentions

you can still dominate with him in pubs and get tears!
I was playing the other night, and the opposing team had an Anti-Mage and whined that he never team fought, was always jungling etc. The game hit 45 minutes and Anti-Mage started melting our towers and won the enemy team the game. Games like that are why I don't play AM anymore, in low tier pubs people don't understand how to let a farming carry farm, early/mid game gankers rule the roost.

You cannot see it but Medusa went Midas first.
I was pretty bad as Viper in the sense that I tend to use poison attack instead of the usual auto-attack, because I did not know the slow and damage of successive attacks don't stack (see the green line). I could have right-clicked and killed them a lot faster.

im starting to slowly realize a lot more things I could do to improve situations as of general enemy item awareness as well as knowing when to push and to leave a battle when all hope is LOST
I kinda wish I had a friend that could actually point these things along the way. Instead, most of the people on my friends list are from 4chan and say the worst possible things in existence and feed on purpose when someone randoms a hero they wanted to play

Huh I honestly didn't know that the damage didnt stack. I just manually use Q after every 2/3 normal attack to save mana and reapply the slow.
Did you find yourself always short on mana to cast your spells and have enough to use mek (with the 6.82 mana cost nerf)? I haven't tried him this patch yet.
Just sayin, Slark is crazy OP this patch
huh? he didn't get any buffs?
doom and void no longer counter him super hard from the get go, nerf to deathball make him much more viable.
It's either pick mass aoe or mass tanky & strong lanes to deal with him nowadays. Also, as someone that play support a lot, his ability to "see" wards is the most annoying shit in the game for me, by very, very far.
Heroes he was bad against were nerfed and the general play style shifted to a favourable one.
Oh, in that case PA was fairly buffed as well, not to mention hard carries(Medusa specially even if Merlini insists the hero is mediocre) in general.

Yes, I had to be very wary of my mana.
Ten heroes to go to finish the all-hero challenge. The worst heroes for me are Dark Seer, Leshrac, Lone Druid, Spirit Breaker (pre 6.82) and Storm Spirit.
I'm 12-1 with Ogre since 6.82 came out, hero is amazing. I even kicked the shit out of an axe because "lol7armor".
Alright, this weeks the week. Oracle, Pitlord, base customization, new creep models, new spectre voice, PA and Kunnka arcana, revamped item drop and customization system, spooky hats, and the Dreamleauge ticket!
We will get nothing other then some nexon stuff on Thursday.
Funniest thing in a game yesterday was watching an overconfident full HP night stalker tower dive the ogre on my team who turned, multicasted stun, unrefined, ignite, bloodlusted himself and just destroyed the nightstalker.

I figure ring of health is really good to build first for early lane sustain and since I always start with buckler, the vanguard can be had easily ( and it works well for sustain). Is vitality booster first better?
I remember reading that the Chinese like to go 3-1-1 with 3 points in spectral dagger first. But seeing as how 3 points into desolate makes you hit hard early on with haunt, I'll try that next time I play.

I have always had this train of thought. The ring of health really is useful early on.
Lately I've been going 1311. Phase, urn, drums, then diffusal or radiance depending on how things going.
But the past few games I've had spec, I've had passive team mates and it's just straight up garbage. Won 9 in a row, then lost 4 of 5.
Last two losses, a combined 2/3/16.
Slark is stupidly OP now.
Last night we lost a game to a Slark that was shut down hard (0-7) the first 25 mins of the game thanks to this ridiculous comeback feature

Big reason why I was hesitant to play spectre. Supports in my tier are content to avoid combat early on as much as possible or just babysit losing lanes (or endlessly stack pull).
Secret v. Empire from today. Pretty much everyone owns on Secret, but the multicasts are real, especially towards the end.
E: Also look for Root Gaming videos running their mid ogre. Some of those have been crazy.
Holy shit that 322 drama over on reddit.
DDZ and co came clean and throw throw manager under the bus? LMAO. "We are very sorry. The 322 by DDZ and Lance was true. But our manager told us to keep it secret and he wrote the reddit post as damage control"
Sad stuff. Especially for a growing community there.

You guys weren't kidding about slark. Get stuck with the most greedy team (luna, blood, clock, storm, slark), get rekt for 25 mins, start making headway, get two ragequits, then luna storm an me still managed to 3v5 their whole team after they called gg on us after clearing a lane of rax. And I wasn't even that good.
