Did they fuck up with the lobby? Not seeing official names is weird

Qojqva pls

I've got some extra steam cash.

Format: Any hero, bo1, coinflip = server/side choice

Prize: 2 Huniepops - (1 winner, 1 random), non-bzz pugna sets

Date: 1/22-1/31(?)

I'm thinking something like I make the brackets and you exchange available times with your opponent and then play it out when it's best for both of you. 3 days max.

Report back the results.

It's too hard to make like 1 day with 10 matches and having like 20 people available who may or may not win.

Googledrive signup, prolly need like at least 8 people?

They don't have a ticket yet so these are just normal private lobbies.

Oh didn't know you actually need a ticket for this kind of stuff

i still don't see the point of getting helm on PA, it seems way, way worse than MoM

Stacking ancients, gives armor, builds into a Satanic and PA is flimsy.

 

[Drkirby]

Lifesteal and +20 damage is the big reason. PA tends to get enough attack speed from her phantom strike that she doesn't need to build much attack speed.

 

[call_kotaku]

PA itemization is actually something that always confuses me about playing her. I know she eventually needs damage items + lifesteal + bkb, but I'm never sure what order and what items to build for any given match.

What if we do not agree on the hero do we roshambo to see which hero it will be?

Phase into Helm is normally the safe starting build, maybe also grabbing a RoA if you need to spam daggers in lane to farm, then you can start with your game specific items. Rush BKB if they are magic heavy and trying to murder you, get Basher if you are trying to murder them, MKB if they have dodge. If you feel your HP is too low in the mid game, you can pick up a Drum or a casual vitality booster.

The Satanic upgrade is super useful later on. It gives you a second way of dealing with blade mail for when your BKB is down.

And alpha wolf aura is always nice.

Plus, you don't want the extra MoM squishiness before you've maxed blur. You do want the HoD damage and armor.

Arcanes, blink, force staff, aghs, refresher

Note: I don't Zeus much

 

[Sigismundo]

Question for resident Zeus lords, aghs or refresher first?

Pretty sure Aghs is better since you don't have the mana for Refresher > double ult but you need some sort of mobility item first.

 

[Drkirby]

What about battle fury!!!!!

Battle Fury is a lame item unless you need to murder illusions or summons. Normally you are trying to murder heroes, direct damage tends to work better. It doesn't really speed up farming that much, and PA IMO does not actually got that late, she is like a more farm heavy Drow who is strongest when they hit their level 16 before the entire enemy team has a chance to bulk up.

 

[DrPizza]

Question for resident Zeus lords, aghs or refresher first?

Refresher first is actually more damage (about 50% rather than 33%), and is nice for regen and auto attacks, but Aghs first feels better because it makes you far less squishy, and because double ult costs a ton of mana that you may not even have.

 

[Drkirby]

Question for resident Zeus lords, aghs or refresher first?

Aghs is normally the safe route, it gives your more HP/Mana. Early Refresher eats up your whole mana pool.

So, anybody got a beta key for HotS? I'm not shelling out $50 for one.

I don't think they just give out keys anymore, its just tied to your account.

I have the game. I think i played like 3 games of it and got bored.

It's not as good as DOTA2... yet.

But once Sylvanas and Maiev are out, I'm going to uninstall this shitty, toxic, insular game.

Does Sylvanas have a passive that after she dies, you take control of a random enemy hero? Because if not I want a refund.

The community might be better (considering previous Blizzard games I don't see that lasting) but I don't think I'll like a game where everyone hits like wet tissue paper.

That's Leeg. I can actually roam and get level 1 kills in HOTS. It's pretty sweet.

It's doubly satisfying because you can feel, on a deep and personal level, how poorly these guys deal with roaming because they just collapse under the pressure.

And then you lose anyway because kills don't matter, hard carries don't exist, and your level is tied to your teams.

Literally 1 + 4 anchors.

You can't(at least when I played) all chat in HOTS, definitely helps.

 

[Haly]

I can BM better in Hearthstone than I can in HOTS.

It sucks.

 

[Drkirby]

Beast Master is much more relevant in Hearthstone then Dota right now.

should you bother stacking ancients with helm since you are presumably not building BF, or should you just grab an alpha wolf and use it for its aura?

Personally I just grab random creeps and use them to scout so I can be a jerk and farm the enemy jungle.

Thanks for the input guys. I was leaning more towards aghs for the stats and buffed mana pool. Even when I had force, aghs and refresh that 2x ulti destroyed my pool so I had a feeling refresh first just wouldn't leave me with enough mana.

Monitor your blur buff and use dom creep to stack ancients that you will kill with your BF.
