Yeah, Icefrog kept buffing that spell until it became op.
I had a game where we basically won at 15 minutes but took until 40 to close out, since the defense had techies, Kotl and Pudge. The techies pissed us off so much in the early using smoke to put a bunch of mines behind us and in our jungle that we got a really early gem and just camped the enemy jungle starving out spectre.

Doesn't work for game 2
Then hopefully he posts a similar link for game 2. Just keep checking his Twitter for the next few minutes.

༼✿◕ل͜◕༽ Hola Twitch chat, my name is Esmerala Donglerino. Im looking for my retarded son "Pablo". He say he will play television games for money but i dont agree with his la vida loca lifestyle. If you find him tell him madre and padre miss him
A friend told me that in Heroes of Newerth theres a hero who can infest a creep and control it fully
Seems like a legit and hilarious ability to add to the game

Imagine an ability where you disguise yourself as a creep, letting you get up close to an enemy hero in the midst of a creepwave
Wonder if it'd work

these C9 vs EG drafts are amazing.
I'm literally PPD.
People already do that with llifestealer with helm of the dominator.

Anyone else having problems with twitch? I can't watch anything without it constantly stopping to buffer even on medium quality. Same thing when I use livestreamer. Netflix and everything else works normally it's just twitch

Zeus was popular yesterday in those games and he got picked up today so who knows. Maybe it's that shining through.

I told my noob league friends I would teach them dota 2 but I'm a noob myself. :/
Can't wait to hear some of their reactions to stuff like pudge hook or a riki going 30-3

have them play heroes like weaver or troll with high skill caps but low point of entry. Tiny is a good example, as well. And teach them as much of the arbitrary/technical bullshit as you can. Stuff like pulling/stacking creeps, rune timers, creep blocking, camp blocking, etc. etc. That's the stuff that they won't figure out on their own.

Ye I'll try to tell them stuff a bit at a time. Don't want to scare any of them back to league. Thx for the hero suggestions. I was thinking of trying out ursa + cm combo as well
Because blinkstrikes now accumulate instead of totally being CD based I've been skipping diffusal on Riki with some pretty decent success.
I do think he is better at lower MMRs, but even at higher ones you can wreck a supports ability to buy anything except for detection. The big thing I see is baiting the other team into fights, and gank just enough to force detection purchases. Another possibility is just creating space for you hard carry:

Teaming up for kills:

Or just carrying the team:

I think diffusal leads to being a glass cannon which I'm not sure is the safest way to build (at least for me).

Rushing Skadi sounds very greedy though.
Nope, you took control of the creep completely, as in, you could move around with it and use its spells. The hero was a crazy ganker and put immense pressure on the lanes from level 1, especially if he did find mud golems which had an invis active in hon. I don't think we will ever see something like that in Dota.
