Olezzo still means good smell, it's a bad small only if you use it ironically, it's lezzo that is shitty smell you illiterate ass.

Just played perhaps the most fun match I've played. I didn't play particularly well (though by far my best Dark Seer performance) but it was a proper tactical battle at the end. We even all managed to avoid the temptation to push at the end, and left the creeps to it while we defended their final push like a brick wall.

Coming on day 2.
I've started solo queueing a bit because I got a bit frustrated with the guys I usually play with. I took this opportunity to play heroes I don't usually play and I've started with Timbersaw. I'm really surprised at how much fun I'm actually having playing alone and trying out 'new' heroes.
Can anyone give me some hints at how to play Timber effectively? I'm usually the guy who has the most gpm at the end of the game because I seem to be the only one pushing and farming but I feel like my impact in the game is not really where it should be. I go for arcane boots, bloodstone, bots (if I have really good farm) and shiva's, bkb, etc.

Lmao tell me who still use olezzo as literal, you dumbfuck.
Tell me who still uses olezzo instead of lezzo, you cunt.
Everyone here uses olezzo? That's Tuscany for you we're all refined and literated unlike you bums of the far away islands.

If Day 2 wasn't going to come after Day 1, why didn't they just move Day 1 so it came before Day 2...
Yeah because using the wrong word makes you oh so literate.
Perhaps Day 1 was moved up in an attempt to distract the community from the servers being shit?

on the other hand I need moar time to get enough for both arcanas.
Oracle and PA? surely not every new hero comes with an arcana, Phoenix didn't =P
I think the visual design of that hero will make it not need one for a very long time.
I think this too.

Only Valve needs four days to go from Day 1 to Day 2

what's the best hero to abuse the ult with? pa? slark?

PA, Ursa and legion commander are my best bet.

This is a new low.
Why label something as a daily update when a.) you are putting it out on a Friday when you're not working the next two days, and b.) when you still don't update it when you get back to work the following week.
It makes no sense

oh my god
Because Valve likes to release it when it's done, release dates be dammed. This is Valve time, and by now you should expect this.
I remember when the L4D2 demo was going to come out, they announced a date for it, then it came out the day after.

I'm not saying the patch should be out guys. I'm saying putting DAY 1 in the corner was a stupid move. The word 'day' means something. Should have just wrote PART 1 or nothing at all

yes it is a 24 hour period
it doesnt mean its consecutive
the last time they did this it wasnt
dave is ok

New Bloom? Yes it was
balladofwindfishes

Yes it was?
The last multi-day update was New Bloom which went Sunday -> Monday -> Tuesday
It's always been sequential, I can't think of a single multi-day update Valve has ever done on any of their games that wasn't sequential. Except this one.
If they couldn't keep to daily updates they should have waited to announce anything until they could.
It means that part 2 will come out another "day". You completely ignored the fact that the weekend passed. They will post it when it is ready. Patience.

oh my bad
what am i thinking of then
there was totally one that skipped a day at some point

It has always meant the next day would come on the next work day.
On every game Valve has ever had multi-day updates for it's worked like this. This time it's an anomaly and people have a right to be confused and a little disappointed. If they couldn't follow their own pattern and what the customer expects they shouldn't have done it that way

Maybe in TF2 or something. Don't think it's ever happened with Dota 2. They're usually pretty good with the multiday updates. This just makes them look incompetent

Techies was announced and wasn't released until almost a week later, but was on the test client and wasn't multi-day.
TF2 has had ones that skipped weekends, but never a weekday.
Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but I remember one of the update pages had a Friday Day 1 and it continued with Day 2 on Monday, which made sense. This is the first time they've skipped a weekday which is kind of weird, especially since they've already established how these updates roll out over the past 6 years with Team Fortress 2 and now Dota 2.
Day 2 is probably going to happen but I do think it's strange that it wasn't yesterday.
You see Valve, if you hadn't ignored my 17 resumes (16 and 17 had cover letters, I should add) maybe you wouldn't be in such a rut when it comes to communicating with your fanbase. My upvote ratio on Reddit speaks for itself.

There ya go.
First time for everything!
So you'd rather have them have a tuesday wednesday thursday update just to look "competent" instead of a fun tease on a friday and get released whenever it would have anyway?
Maybe Valve should have changed it to part 1 on Satruday and left it at that, normally you would expect Day 2 soon after Day 1.
Really, I think I would have rather Valve did a tease on Friday, and release the Friday update the day before Day 2 comes. Unless the update is just that big this is the tease!!1

That wasn't the first time. It happened with Spring Cleaning and I think a couple of one off beta heroes as well. So it wasn't unexpected.
And yes, they shouldn't have announced Day 1 when they did.
Otherwise you see what happens. You can't really just abruptly go against people's expectations for no reason and without a reason given.
We don't need to know about the update a week in advance, they should have announced it when it was ready.
I'm fairly confident that TB/Phoenix update skipped a day.

tuesday seems like a good day to release something

Nope. Started on Sunday with Year Beast, Monday Terrorblade and Tuesday was Phoenix
Spring Cleaning and Techies were announced a week ahead of time and it worked because people knew more or less what to expect
Wraith Night and New Bloom were daily events and it worked because people knew what to expect, more or less.
The issue with this one is that they did both and sent mixed signals. I would rather they not have done Day X things and have just said next week.

Maybe someone at valve deleted the comic files for day 2 by accident and now have to draw it again from scratch >_<
