Desert Tiles:
I wonder if this could be implemented as a in game cosmetic or if Valve plans on some event using this.

Are the hitboxes all the same? those palm trees look tiny.
Trees are wonky, dire seems the same but radiant for some reason is now a bunch of shrubs. Maybe I screwed something up, i'm sure workshop devs/valve could make them have the same hitboxes.
Valve has been good about doing stuff like this so far, I'm sure it'll come at some point.
No prob, hit me up if you need more input. I like mid lane alot (not the best though, so take my tips with a grain of salt).
If Dota2 were a C&C mod instead of a WC3 mod
Makes sense since it goes through magic immunity.
Moon is rather shit and annoying regardless of what game he's streaming.
this is amazing!

Adaptive strike 4.25 second stun so
Yeah, but generally ice frog doesn't like the thing being easily killed by collateral, I expect some courier specific exemption. Or who knows, new meta and what not.
Dota 2 Asian Championship has its 8 invites set out, and the teams in the qualifiers announced:
http://dota2.uuu9.com/201412/483797.shtml
Newbee, ViCi Gaming, Invictus Gaming, LGD, MVP Phoenix, Evil Geniuses, Rave, and Secret are the invites. Good lineup.
Cloud 9 got tossed in the "American" qualifier group, with SNA, eHug, and Complexity. Looks like it should be a clinch, but eHug did really well in the NA SL Qualifiers coming out 7-0, so there is a chance for an upset.
Wonder how the slots will be allotted, there is 8 qualifying slots. Maybe 1 from NA, 2 from Europe, 4 from Asia, and a wild card with the runner ups? Does the site say?

Diffusal + Skadi seems good on every single illusion hero, straight up. Tons of stats + mana burn + slow? So good.
Diffusal Skadi Slark, I wanna try it so much. The large amount of Agi a level 2 Diffusal gives also will be nice.

Diffusal Huskar, too. Seems pretty fucking ridiculous.

I am 0-6 with Lifestealer today. I am about to lose it.
The Malicious Sting set for Shadow Demon should a wider release in the next day or two from Perfect World (Something about getting 1900 points in some program they are testing) not too sure how that will translate into being put on the steam market, but if you want it look out for it on the market for the next 2 or 3 days. I think it looks cool.

The ability to stack diffusal with another orb without any diminished effect is -- in fact -- new.

That is new; but stacking diffusal, lifesteal, and skadi is not new on PL.

played 3 games today
1 ability draft which I ended up becoming end boss visage with mostly luna abilities
2 AP
1 game with chaos knight... in which i tried to copy rtz. it ended up getting people hating me for the build since it wasnt traditional meta and of course that leads to finger pointing
1 game with tiny doing slahsers way. which was very successful(as have my previous games doing slahsers way with heroes)

agreed.
Ok, hear me out guys. Support Sniper.
You have a ton of range to harass in lane. You have a chance for a .5 second 100% slow which is super annoying in lane, and your super long range vision/slow ability, which you can also use to stack camps without having to leave lane and provide vision in fights. Your Ult is a powerful single target nuke.
Level 1 you will likely want headshot, but possibly take aim if the enemy is ranged too. You at level 3 want to get 1-1-1, then you will go 1-1-4-1, getting your 950 range. After you will likely want to max head shot to get as much damage as possible for free. For boots you will ether want int treads for the ability to attack faster and keep spamming spells, or Arcane Boots for more mana. Your first big item should be a force staff, to allow increase your mobility and get more mana. After you will want to pick up Drums for a nice stat boost, and additional mobility/attack speed. Some smaller optional items to pick up along the way are the likes of bottle and Ring of Aquila.
And if needed, you can transition into a traditional late game sniper with the likes of Manta/Mjolnir/Daedalus/Deso.

Alternatively you max shrapnel first and have 3 30% slows to use for ganking and in teamfights as a pseudo upheaval that doesn't need channeling. And urn would maybe be good to keep hp topped up whilst also helping with the mana a bit.
The only thing killing that right now is that it takes 40 second for each charge of shrapnel, so it wouldn't be that great in the early game (But once you get to mid game, where fights break out less, it would be awesome)
Aye, tradeoffs tradeoffs. Perhaps if Sniper still isn't picked that could be a buff for 6.83b.
Honestly that looks like a graph where a team comes back against a meepo
Haha, yeah. I had two teammates that refused to get anything done. I had to roam around very early and unfortunately died a bit.
Luckily I turned it around towards the end.

Courier kill before the clock even starts in this FD vs Rave game. What a match.
Yeah.
That shrapnel change is basically cheating. If it wasn't for it I'd have a whole different match.
Yep, super good. Played against a clock and the vision it provides scouted him out a few times. Plus every team fight is just covered in shrapnel.

Something about making a comeback as Meepo always feels good.
Dat EXP graph for the enemy team. Honestly didn't think we'd have it.
This is why I never fuck around vs a meepo, even when we are far far ahead.
One mistake and your racks gets poofed.
The pro scene gets kinda boring around a new patch. Nobody knows what to pick and they stick with the old meta zzzzz
