I played with Terra Cotta not too long ago, and he said it was approved and everything...

maybe matt knows.

He said the D2L Universe ball Void weapon was in too.

TC is a liar and so are you

I just played Techies for the first time since 6.83. The superrunes at 0:00 make for ez first bloods. I just blew up NP right after he was walking back into jungle when he grabbed the rune.

Hmm, C9's official Steam account is idle in the Dota Client, that's peculiar.

I wonder if W33 may have ruined Hanni's chacne to create a second C9 team with his silly cheating in EEL stuff, since if Jack says he is willing to pick up a second roster with PLD or Aui on it, Its possible he was considering picking up the new team Hanni is about to come out with.

I asked about that exact item earlier in the thread and matt responded that it was indeed left out of the game. I liked it a lot but he says D2L fucked up and waited too long before submitting the item for consideration.

Nightstalker is baller as fuck early game, but he sure as hell can't carry later.


Did not help that Enchantress went Heart first for some inexplicable reason, and Lion rushed aghs.

Aui did it on his stream. Looks like a bona fide copycat.

why -1 armor for jugg? WHY? SCREW YOU VALVE
 
Nightstalker is baller as fuck early game, but he sure as hell can't carry later.

His nighttime attack speed bonus and silence are pretty amazing in the late game, even as his nuke damage from his first skill becomes completely irrelevant. I've been looking for an opportunity to do the midas first nightstalker that Slahser does, but I haven't had a good game for it yet.

The problem with him is that he has no good ways to farm, so once you fall behind and can't gank you have no ways of catching up. I think he can hold his own with heart + abyssal + bkb vs other cores late game.

The Jugg nerfs have begun. If anyone needs me I'll be affixing some rope to my rafters.

Why would icefrog want to make early game respawns take longer?

What's he trying to tell us? Farm more, fight less?

Or maybe the added respawn time counter-balances the glyph refresh so if you win a fight early you have more time to take objectives?

NS early malestrom is the way to go it accelerates his farm in nighttime and daytime.

how does he come up with this shit

You know, the funny thing is this feels long overdue. Like, it was 3 years ago when it was changed to respawn with full mana (Before you only respawend with like 150 and had to regen the rest once you revived), after the change the early game got much more action packed, since people would be back to fights much faster. Now a level 1 death, you take nearly 9 seconds to revive instead of 4 like before. At level 3, its 16.4 instead of 12. Basically its builds in the old time you would stay in base to regen mana from the early game of past version to the death time itself, while getting rid of the awkward situation where you needed to defend the base and you had to play chicken for how long to stay getting you mana back.

Game is literally broken.

This is how you sell your old TP scrolls for original price.

All you need is a courier.

Step 1: Pick spectre, buy tp scrolls whenever you can until you have 37.

Step 2: Put your tp scrolls on the courier.

Step 3: Buy a new tp scroll.

Step 4: Use deliver button to merge your tp scrolls on yourself. You will get 38 TP scrolls which sells for 3800. Sell it within 10 secs.

Also this is how I farm my radiance on spectre within 25 mins every game even if I die 10 times. Also works with any consumable that stacks.

why


edit: I think its to counter supports suiciding at lvl2 when they get low hp.

Think it's just a change to encourage you to end games earlier and push for objective gaming (aka raxx). Same dealio with the barracks bounty increase; I didn't do the math, but it seems like he has now shifted all of the tower bounty taken away in 6.82 into raxx. Sometimes games would just go too late simply because the enemy team was too low level, I know it sounds weird, but it's hella hard to push uphill in a stalemate when the enemy is respawning in 30-45s

Necro please delete Techies from game thanks.

Doom too while you're at it. Cancerous POS.

EZ, Doom can remove Techies from the Game, then Necro can remove Doom. Then everyone will be happy and world peace will be brought to us by the Pope of Pestilence.

Void still strong. Fucking most annoying hero I've ever seen in Dota pubs.

Yeah, the nerf basically destorys the ability to get a late game Refresher on carry void, while still making it viable on Offlane Aghs void.

And then Void can trap Necro in a time lock, after which he retires from dota to go on adventures throughout the galaxy with Windranner.
