Voted! Really liked it Bounch, here's my pros/cons:

Pros:
+ Great job on the overall look of the armor and the effects. Luna really looks like a holy warrior here or someone that's using her goddess mount and weapons.
+ Her mount looks amazing. I usually stick to default Nova since I dont like her other mounts that much, but Orion looks badass with the flaming eyes.
+ Also like her hair and circlet. Its gonna be difficult to choose between this one and her black hair without armor. Are you gonna make avaiable other hair colors for this style? White and black would probably look amazing too.
+ Ability icons 1,2 and 4 look very good. Nice work!
+ It's Luna, best waifu

Cons
- Yeah I'm also not a big fan of the "Lunar Blessing" icon. Actually I don't even know what the original icon is trying to show. I'm okay with changing it to something completely new but Luna's model face there doesn't look right. Maybe make it something like Selemene's or Luna's shadow since the ability says "The Goddess of the Moon smiles upon her kin".

Anyway, great work and so bought when it's avaiable!

is 6.82 out yet

 

[Drkirby]

So yeah, this is interesting, Valve pushed out and then quickly retracted this experimental version of the map. Puts the fountain areas on highground, and changes the Roshan and the surrounding area. Was able to get one of the guys who works with the workshop tools a lot to upload a copy he was able to make before Valve took it down.

wuts so bad?

 

[The Technomancer]

Oy if you're going to fucking random don't fucking do it at the last second and get a Medusa on a team that already has a carry and badly needs another support

 

[Anbokr]

I think I like the leaked 6.75 one better, with 2 ramps still for dire. The current version still favors dire, but just by a little bit. If you completely or almost completely take away dire rosh advantage, nearly every team will pick radiant for the better lanes (and according to some people, better jungle).

I guess small map imbalances will always be somewhat counter-balanced by first-pick/second-pick though.

Why would Selemene choose to be reborn as Luna, and not Mirana? Luna's not even from the moon clan. She's just some random chick that Mirana found bathing and recruited for the moon clan. Or she was attacked by a big cat and she survived and the moon clan was all good shit join us..

What's with the lore breaking set bounch? You guys even trying? Game is literally unplayable

Probably. But I tried a few times with bots just to check if I could familiarize with it and I realized I couldn't use it in any useful manner even if my life depended on it.

So older DOTA-GAF, I was digging through the dusty archives of my Liked and Favorited YouTube videos and came across this old gem.

Just replace Codex with Dagon and it still fits.

Bounch Luna set is amazing. So is the Timber courier

 

[shira]

There are no regional qualifiers for WCA - this tournament is purely invitational. Four Chinese teams (LGD, IG, VG and Newbee) and four foreign teams (Na'Vi.Eu, Alliance, Cloud9 and Titan) have been invited directly to the LAN finals. Finalists will compete for a 2,900,000RMB (~$470,000) prize pool at the Yinchuan International Convention Centre. Eight teams will play a double-elimination best-of-three format. The Grand Finals will be a best of five, with the winner’s bracket winner having a 1-0 advantage.

470k prize pool.

70% to the winner? Wtf china

Likely, they smoked china in WEC and eg was the only team to do well vs them.

Oh, this courier on the workshop is cool:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=313894679&searchtext=

imo having a themed sidekick is a better idea than just the mini version of a hero.

friend me and ill spam you invites endlessly

I can confirm this.

They don't want a western team to win. Kappa

That was filtered by only ES games.

Probably. But I tried a few times with bots just to check if I could familiarize with it and I realized I couldn't use it in any useful manner even if my life depended on it.

It's basically about the kick and pull. You have to kick a rock into them and then pull the same rock back for a roll in. You can't grab it immediately or the kick won't hit anyone, and wait too long and it is out of grip range.

Don't forget you can cast while rolling.

Also I really think ES is best soloing offlane now. He does okay mid, but really shines on offlane. Soul Ring ES is awesome.

Like Pudge is too?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Pudge sucks and I feel like insta-abandoning when someone on my team picks him in ranked. Sry, breh.

edit: Also, Techies' popularity dropping surprisingly fast. They don't seem to be able to establish themselves as competition to Pudge in terms of number of times played. Not even remotely. Hero is really awful in pubs at the moment so I don't really miss them but it does surprise me given their years of hype behind them.

Oddly enough, Pudge has the highest success rate against Techies.

I see people say that all the time when I pick Pudge. Then win and they apologize for doubting me. He is a good hero, just nobody does him right.

Because he is so tough to do well with. Might as well just pick Batrider who does everything better.

I'm fairly good at Bat I think:

http://www.dotabuff.com/players/54998164

Other than Pudge being more fun, I see very little reason to pick him for competitive purposes when Bat accomplishes the same goals way more efficiently.

 

[rakkadakka]

Techies drop off doesn't feel surprising to me.

Same thing happened with TB and Phoenix when they were released.

LC is the only recently ported character that I see regularly.

 

[Drkirby]

I find it odd TB fell off so hard, since he seems to win in most of the games I see him in. I guess people don't feel like playing him any more since he can no longer get a guaranteed solo kill on a person at level 2.
