Awesome

Should stay in the game. It requires too much setup for me to see it as gamebreaking

just like fountain hooking amirite

Top tier editing.

 

[Haly]

Not enough lens flare and slamming.

EDIT: Okay, lens flared.

 

[Saucy_XL]

That waga abuse

 

[Haunted]

Not really any different to venge swap honestly.

not intended

Tusk begins rolling into a snowball, automatically gathering allied Heroes within a 100 radius.
Allies within a 400 radius can also be added to the snowball by right-clicking them.
Doesn't carry Illusions, but will carry Meepo clones and other units that Tusk controls.

[Smithy C]

Find a game. First two picks on enemy team: Techies and Tusk. Will let you know how this one goes.

EDIT: Stomped them. Told them off for using exploits. They said they have learned their lesson.

 

[Shorty11857]

Anyone else have a problem with the game sometimes crashing when going into ARDM?

 

[Techies]

Works with Statis wards too, tried it in game.
Doesn't pick up remotes though.

whats up with your name?

 

[RS4-]

So, apparently it works on towers too?

 

[Pratfall]

Do you guys think PA will get a buff given her shit pro pickrate? Pretty sure she will cross over into Pub OP with a good buff.

Tusk needs to target a unit.

There's a good chance she'll get some crazy buff like guaranteed crits a la brew, be all over the scene, then get nerfed again. As is though I think she's crazy good in pubs with cm or any other way to spam dagger in lane and get early farm/ harass the enemy carry.

probably just something minor to shift trends a tad, she's not that uncommon of a pick in the competitive scene

42% winrate and middle of the pack in terms of pick rate ain't that bad, remember when PL got nerfed with the same statistics rofl? fucking reddit.

 

[Ultimatum]

crit should become innate to pa and her new ult can be a passive that multiplies her damage output by 1.5/2/2.5

also blur should have an active that makes it like windrun

Arcana buffs man. She's going to be god-tier pick. Gotta sell those $44.99 hats.

Blur overrides MKB.

k fine but the ult has an active that gives 3/4/5 seconds of 100% crit rate

first item rapier?

no fuck that shes already op as fuck people just dont play her cause theyre scared of her power

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Dagger changed so instead of doing random crits, it slows targets and boosts pa and allies' movement speed in a small aoe

 

[inkls]

critanic? Satacrit?

 

[Quesa]

more like critastophe

bro i know but I need her more OP for guaranteed wins

I hope not, crit on the dagger was a nice buff. You can zone out supports solo at level 7 with dagger spam.

 

[inkls]

Critting spree! Overcrit! Critpocalypse! Crilimanjaro! Critlionaire!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

This might sound dumb, but ever since I started playing this I haven't configured the controls. I think it is time for me to change them since lately I'm starting to think they are really bad configured and I still drag the screen with the mouse.

Anyone mind sharing their config?

 

[Technosteve]

It seems Tusk can pick up Techies mines for some ez kills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HxjKyCoRbY&feature=youtu.be

i don't see the problem

 

[Razzer]

PA doesn't need buffs. She'll have her time. Razor wasn't picked for a long while in 6.81, and look at him now. (If the overall meta moves from pushes she could get more play indirectly as she won't be against 5 man as well).

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

i don't see the problem

Now both techies and tusk are viable!!

 

[Madouu]

chen, slardar and tusk buffs pls.

 

[Beardz]

Do you think it's possible to play Dota from a couch with wireless keyboard and mouse? The keyboard on my lap and the mouse on my side resting on the couch.

You really need a flat surface for the mouse. If you can rest it on a book you're good to go, yes.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

chen, slardar and tusk buffs pls.

Chen is already pretty good for what he does, maybe change his slow for something actually good.

Slardar, I think he's pretty good just need to remove the extra damage done on him during sprint.

Tusk, better base stats and armor, int or agi buff.

 

[Divvy]

Anyone else here trying out this guy's key config?

It's a pretty big improvement over what I was using before, though I have screwed up a few teleports with quickcast so far so it's going to take some getting used to.

 

[Techies]

Played Techies exclusively in DotA for a few years. See I still got it.

21-7 Wins/Losses thus far.

 

[Emerson]

I hope Crystal Maiden gets a big buff.

I figured as much. I was messing man. I am sure you are more excited than anyone else over this update.

Yeah finally got my hero!
Now the trick is how to stop playing him lol...

 

[SteveWinwood]

hon never got a techies equivalent right

Wait literally one second at the All Pick character select screen

problem solved

Possible, yes. But your eyes will get tired really fast.

 

[Acinixys]

chen, slardar and tusk buffs pls.

Yes

This

New model and buffs for the Guardian of the Deeps

Seriously the MOST underrated hero in the game

I hope Crystal Maiden gets a big buff.

Move speed 295 and +3 starting INT

Yep. Almost every time

engineer, far better hero

 

[bbd23]

buff vanguard

 

[War Peaceman]

People absolutely detest the purchase of a divine rapier. I've been trying out that Slahser Medusa build and every time they see your items they go "no divine pls no god no". Even when you kill an entire team solo they ask to report you...

 

[Big Dog]

Anyone else have a problem with the game sometimes crashing when going into ARDM?

It's never happened to me, but at least 3 people crash every time I load into an ARDM game. It seems to happen right at that loading bar where the game seems to be calculating all of the random heroes that your team will be receiving for the game. I'm guessing that the calculations involved in figuring out which random heroes you get is a bit too much for what it should be. Maybe those calculations should start being done server side, or something else needs to change since some people's hardware may not be able to handle the sort of load it is trying to throw at their computer.

 

[Shorty11857]

Just played a game as Witch Doctor where I decided to stack up mana regen at the end just to try to get over 20 per second, is fun to always have your heal on makes pushing against Tinker easier
