Last-hitting is da best skill shot

It increase farming speed. Plus the utility of being able to cut trees shouldn't be ignored.
Let's you last hit earlier to help prevent denies. It's not something I get too much anymore except in jungling to go through creeps faster but it can be useful. Plus fuck trees
I kinda hope dendi gets chosen by a better team or gets a better carry player.
He still gives his all to the games, but the rest of the team isnt up to par with him. Vanskor has been dissapointing since joining Na'Vi, Funn1k has at least been consistent, the drafting has been abysmal and Xboct seems like he is going through a downward spiral where he is brining down the rest of the team.

Yup, great against shitty NPs.
that's because you didn't go Blinkin' Dagon Dragon
If you would be missing last hits that are getting denied by the enemy that has higher damage than you, then I think making those last hits makes it pay for itself.

Does this tournament even have a ticket?
I buy a QB on AM after I finish my battlefury but never before that. I'd say it's core on him if you're going for the split-push style.
Actually, now that I think about it QB on ember after battlefury might work pretty well too depending on how his damage on creeps is calculated.

Hey he clearly has a very busy casting schedule and needs a break.

Can't even remember the last thing he did before that awful dreamhack event. ESL i guess? He's hardly been around at all

I don't know, listening to Toby makes it obvious you're listening to a 3k player. He's good at hyping which is not that relevant to me.
this dude is way too meme heavy
in fact, the "comedy casting" shtick is getting a little stale
Xyclops is the best for comedy, because he doesnt force it
His terrible english IS the comedy
Heavy I know that you live to troll this OT but seriously?
Racist? For saying someone cant speak a language well
Pls go

His English is not terrible at all. His accent is a bit thick which is about it.

I need to message two people to make 100% sure, but yes we're good. Make sure you're whole team is and post in that bloody thread.
I like some of the ideas here. I think NS's ulltimate should be a single target spell that causes the target to suffer reduced vision range and lose shared vision and see illusions of night stalker so he can't tell which is the real one.

I always thought that NS ultimate being something like an affliction where you saw fake Nightstalkers coming at you randomly for a period of 30 seconds (and only YOU saw them, and there was no indication via buffs/debuffs/etc that you're afflicted) would be hilarious. Only works at night
I liked this pro/anti Quelling Blade debate there was a bit of last night. I thought about it a bit more and have a bit more to say on the matter.
When I buy a QB, 99% of the time it is for one of three reasons.
1. I'm playing a melee safe lane hero that I either have a hard time last hitting with, or are against a lane that can easily deny me or bully me out of and no number of branches/slippers/gauntlets/mantles will be enough.
Example: I played AM last night and my usual starting items on him now are Stout Shield, Quelling Blade, and Tango. Depending on the situation, I go either Ring of Health, Poor Man's, or Boots next depending on the situation. With that Quelling Blade, it becomes much easier to approach the creep wave early and take a last hit and then move to where you aren't taking too much damage. It also pretty much guarantees my farm, even in tough situations, I barely need to worry about being denied or missing last hits because I have to act quickly (early) to take them. There is always room for improvement on last hitting, but if your lane is rough, and your hero needs farm, then other factors than pure last hitting skill come into play. Quelling Blade isn't a crutch like some people thinkist is. It's a situational item you may need, depending on the game, just like Stout Shield, PMS, stick, wand, or even buying extra regen.
2. Fancy pulls or jukes. Depending on your lane, you may be solo and have to do stuff like pulling hard camps to change creep equilibrium, or doing a pull through yourself. This of course let's you farm the resulting neutrals easier too.
3. Cert melee right click junglers. You kill the creeps faster, not much to explain here. A good example is Lycan.

Melee carries should always buy qb, especially if you get a blink (ex. LC, KKA, etc...). Faster farm rotations are priceless.
If you get it for laning you're probably bad. There are some situations where it's good, but in general stout is much better for laning while quelling is more of a midgame oriented item to accellerate your farm. Think of it as a 225g midas.
