Not quite a throw, but more an example of "Holy shit FV don't let him get items"

First time FV on our side, told them they could do it. That and their BM was an idiot, constantly walking into sentry range and then asking how we saw them...

 

[Kard8p3]

where the FUK is my doom set

 

[Drkirby]

Why can't we see what group makeup is like on the loading screen?

I'd love to know when I'm the odd man out of a 4 stack so I can just DC right then instead of staying in the game for their abuse.

To reduce the amount of games people dodge.

[Sigismundo]

So I got some Brood cosmetics as a drop although I don't really like her playstyle.

Is it possible to do well with Spiderless Spider as a joke build?

 

[bounchfx]

[Chris R]

You should totally make an Enigma set hint hint!

[bounchfx]

New pudge or is the old one getting in?

trying to put in the one we completed yeah. It's not that old !!

I actually still get more comments on that one daily than any other item.

 

[Drkirby]

Has valve reached out at all about making stuff for diretide yet?

 

[Cassius]

Ethereal Blade + Dagon Riki

-you can use items without revealing yourself
-riki has fantastic agility (34+2.9) so the eblade blast hurts a ton
-you can make great use of the agility as you get bonus damage from it in backstab
-you can purge etherealness from yourself with diffusal blade and immediately start attacking someone else.

EDIT: Actually, that last one doesn't seem to be true. However, I found out that if you eblade someone and then use blink strike on them, you wont attack them and thus not reveal yourself, but still do the (now amplified) magic damage.

 

[kasane]

oh man i remember the days when battle fury shaker changed the animation to enchant totem

 

[bbd23]

I have made the switch from US East to EU West

 

[Falk]

^ Same. Avoiding East till something or another is done re: Peruvians.

Hate to stereotype but this is legitimately killing my desire to play otherwise.

"...If you are stuck in certain number for the longest time that's your MMR. I'm sorry to break it to you bro.
...
Stop making excuses, that's what pussies do.
Go out there and work for your MMR.
Go read up guys.
Go learn how to counterpick.
Learn to play the OP heroes: Brewmaster, TA, Viper . . . Wraith King, all those OP heroes. Doom.
Then you can climb MMR.

Don't look at me and be like: Moonmeander but I just want to have fun and pick Drow Ranger. I just want to have fun and pick Phantom Lancer. I don't want to try-hard.

Well then son go to unranked games. Unranked games is where your brain shuts off and you go there and have fun and fuck each other in the ass. You don't come to ranked games and have fun..."

You just gotta try harder. The team that triesharder wins.

guys i just saw some leaked changelog, heres the choicest bit

Spoiler

tinker changed to 5 mana, 3/2

 

[Falk]

Back before I moved out of South East Asia, I'd play every single MMO on non-SEA servers when given the chance. Even Maple Story

Spoiler

please don't judge

. I don't see how this is any different. Not like I'm going out of my way to be an asshole to the demographic, I just prefer not to play on the same servers.

In other news Drkirby dispenses the best advice ever. Just did a cookie cutter 4/1/4/1 QQQ and EEQ build till I got aghs then just facerolled casting random spells in teamfights.

No more three 1/1 robots as a Battlecry? WTF ruined.

 

[Haly]

Deathball cost increased from 4 mana to 5.

RIP Miracle Push.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Are you guys talking about smash bros again?

 

[Drkirby]

It took 7 games but I finally won as Pudge

Actually got pretty decent at hitting hooks by the end. Next up is ez town with Void, then some Fun with Tinker. Also I swear this thing has a fixed hero order and it just has a random starting position.
