Desolator Phantom Assassin instead of Satanic for better mid-game
Y/N ?

Yes. This is actually the most legit build.

Trust me. You will two-shot almost every hero and snowball from there. Satanic is only interesting when you want to go late game... which you don't since people will just build MKB and Dagon and shut you down.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

would you yell at a medusa getting a point or two in split shot early?

given the newfound potency of mystic snake? yes, I would. You don't need to start thinking about points in split shot until you're ready to start jungling. Similar to Luna. It's not the *only* reason you put points in split shot (you also want to get a couple of points in it if you're ready or looking to push the tower down fast just like you would with Luna).

Also, if Dusa is being given a completely free lane and there's nobody to harass back with Snake, it should be skipped to get yourself into midgame fighting shape faster. Maxing Q and never using it in lane is fine if you don't want to push the lane. But most lanes will have someone contesting Dusa and pushing the lane to tower is usually undesirable unless your strat revolves around taking towers early. It's just giving enemy offlane XP they don't deserve. Max level snake does stupid damage given laning phase HP levels on most enemy heroes.

im going to interpret what you said as

I thought the preferred way was to skip at a point 11, max at 16, since when you are 16 you should be hitting pretty hard.

[inkls]

do you even play dota anymore?

New semester started so was busy making the transition again. Ill be playing lots more now.

inkls if he gets off scot free he's never going to learn

*condescending paternal stare*

Spoiler

iunno maybe

Well seriously at this point. If he doesn't want to do it, I dont want to keep pressuring him to do so. Might just be better for someone else to do it if hes ok with it.

inkls get off your alternate account

???

EE maxes remnant on Storm Spirit. That doesn't make it good.

EE maxes remnant on storm first because he goes for a safelane farming storm spirit that goes bloodstone first. So the point of it is that he can clear waves with ease. Its trash if you want to gank with storm, but not for farming storm spirit.

That confirms it I guess.
Whats the build order?

 

[Sigismundo]

I feel like the Medallion/Vlad's/Deso PA build is good if you want to give up going late and just end the game in the midgame. She'll get outcarried very hard if you go further than that though.

Also what does everyone think of Pokken?

 

[Haly]

I'm looking forward to seeing it take the FGC by storm because it has the pokemon brand behind it.

But I have no desire to actually play it.

I'm planning on it, since there are two days left of the convention. Also I bought a shirt of basically this:

If you guys didn't realize this by now, there's a Valve/WeLoveFine store at PAX South. All sorts of Dota stuff there. Got one of the big swag bags too.

Wait

The right part of that HUD is just the default rocks u wot m8

Its a preview bug, another hud had the same bug happen to a month back, it has non-default stuff there in game. Valve will likely fix the image on the store in a few days.

So I take it we aren't getting more DAC Stretch goals?

Lel

Kotl blinding light push is the best thing whole game. Just leaving people on high ground and scaring away the cour from bring tp.

3 of them rotated to save the zues who was stuck on high after trying for rune. Our bloodsseeker and AA made saving zues a nightmare. Zues was up there fir a good 5 minutes and ended up being 4 levels lower than everyone

Oh I see, I do like the design

The pudka set is disgusting though

 

[Sigismundo]

Having a 40+ minute game dematerialize into non-existence because someone abandoned is odd.

 

[arab]

i just played a game with a few people from pax. i was mirana support for most of the game but apparently there's a time limit on the machines so we lost a farmed gyro and PA right after a crucial aegis pick up.

i was on a win streak and determined to put this one in the bag. i made a control group with pa and gyro and proceeded to play three heroes at once

i think this is the closest i'm ever gonna get to climaxing while playing dota

Make dagger global and hit everyone on its path.

Make Dagger become a permanent copy of PA and it has all of her items and abilites and hits for 100% damage but only has 20% health.

Holy shit

If the teams don’t like the proposed point system that MLG is using this year then you will most likely not see them at any of their events.
