Make Focus Fire work on every target she attacks for the duration, not just one. There's a simple dps increase.

Why does Alchemist have such a low win rate anyway, he's great.

 

[Drkirby]

I'll do that if I'm home when you are doing it, sounds pretty easy. I think haly's first lane set up would work best.

 

[bbd23]

man I love new VP.

 

[shira]

rapier

 

[KingKong]

oh man what a game

 

[bbd23]

BAHAHAHA YES VP!!!!!!!!!!!

ITEMS SECURED!

 

[eznark]

throw arrow get rapier

 

[Razzer]

Fata throwing with that tp. (ok that was not a throw but I thought it was funny)

 

[abunai]

man I love new VP.

It's really great to see the org settle on a team that doesn't suck completely

People who can't last hit rush max Greevil's Greed and suck at last hitting. Then they are stuck with no useful skills or items by the time they should be landing fat ass stuns.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

I think it's conceptually neat but I have to ask "Why would I want this over Centaur's ult?"

Ults are not created equal though. You don't hear people saying 'macropyre is alright but why would I want it over black hole?'.

FUCK YOU C9 YOU TOOK MY SOLO MID GYRO BUILD

Io's my current hero challenge. Hmu when you're up for it. I can play all those heroes

If we're buffing focus fire making it a passive that ups her atk speed on hit randomly or just giving a buff to her atk speed could be cool. Also the shooting while moving thing sounds interesting -- maybe add that to the passive?

Bone7 refresher first item!

That was a fails of the week level of panic from 1437. What the hell was he doing?

Meanwhile, his 7 brother Bone7 has just done 3 awful ravages.

Probably mid alch. Or IO alch mid / io stacking jungle. Wisp can get medallion and gank with a charging alch stun -> overcharge -> 300 IAS alch with -10 armor. EZ kills.

Just practice jungle and stacking wisp so it can get exp.

 

[Ketch]

I love alchemist. he's got like my favorite model/animations in the game. The way the guy on top swings around and the redic fast attack speed under ult. soo good.

If they had an alch demi-hero or whatever they're called I probably would have bought one.

edit: also the headphones are legit. I got the zephyr branded ones from Purge at TI and I love them... and I typically hate in ear phones so it's a strong recommendation.

 

[Haly]

Probably mid alch. Or IO alch mid / io stacking jungle. Wisp can get medallion and gank with a charging alch stun -> overcharge -> 300 IAS alch with -10 armor. EZ kills.

SD + Alch should be strong, though. It's practically Bane + Mirana. I have a hard time giving that up for a plain Jane safe lane like SD/AM.

Yawn.

 

[Fevaweva]

Just lost a game where the supports bought 0 wards. Literally 0. This is why I should always play a support. Motherfuckers don't know what they are doing in the potato tier.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

EE carrying such a heavy load.

 

[Razzer]

EE carrying such a heavy load.

Yep. Every fight was 1)fail ravage, 2) Fata dies, 3) EE just kills everyone anyway/takes rax.

You can buy your wards as a carry and place them during your farming rotation or as a mid while checking runes, the gold "lost" on wards ultimately doesn't matter in potato tier.

 

[Hazaro]

Did you:
Ask for wards and consider how risky it was to place then?
Didvtou remind your team wards were in stock?
And finally why didn't you buy wards

SD + Alch should be strong, though. It's practically Bane + Mirana. I have a hard time giving that up for a plain Jane safe lane like SD/AM.

Yawn.

Disruption into Alch Stun into 3 AM with mama break is disgusting

Yeah I know...I just wanted to try and rely on my team-mates for once when it comes to that type of shit. Alas, turns out I was being naive.

 

[Mohasus]

C9 vs VP was a BO2?

 

[Hazaro]

Yeah I know...I just wanted to try and rely on my team-mates for once when it comes to that type of shit. Alas, turns out I was being naive.

Being proactive is important, take into consideration how much gold they have if they are close to a core item if it is safe to ward or not.
Siri above are okay and they don't buy wards in 10 seconds I just buy the wards on the courier if no one takes it then I take them off the courier myself

 

[Razzer]

C9 vs VP was a BO2?

Yeah.

If anyone says there isn't a forced 50% winrate, you're chatting utter plop.

It's only 50% if you aren't getting better

It's ok.

I fought through it and won.

Do you want to share some of those forced 50 games with us?

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

No.

Because I am ashamed of my prejudice.

My team picked all carries.

I thought it was gg. But we won. I shattered that glass prison.

 

[SteveWinwood]

stop trying to make plop happen

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Don't be jealous.

 

[Mohasus]

I don't know about 50%, but some days it is impossible to win and in others it is impossible to lose doesn't matter what I pick or build.

 

[Acinixys]

Why does Alchemist have such a low win rate anyway, he's great.

Cause Alch is a shitty Venge

 

[Dreams-Visions]

I don't know about 50%, but some days it is impossible to win and in others it is impossible to lose doesn't matter what I pick or build.

If you look through your dotabuff history...wins or losses, what I think you'll find is that a the teams who are selecting multiple heroes they have been playing somewhat regularly and are successful with are doing the winning. And teams where multiple players are randoming or picking heroes that they've played little (or are otherwise new to) are doing a lot of losing.

 

[Ketch]

It's only 50% if you aren't getting better

does that mean I'm actively getting worse?

< fuuuuuuck.

Spoiler

probably because I don't play
