oh my god yes
pay 2 win confirmed
I am currently getting destroyed by a cheese strat I've never seen before: support Kunkka casts X on storm, storm jumps in, gets to use all his mana and gets out free.
This is bullshit :lol
Oh, and he also uses X to send him back to base for free mana refills. That you can do with anyone, but the synergy with storm's ult is just stupid. Wrecked top and bottom lanes but it didn't matter because Storm gets completely free kills wherever they have vision

Wouldnt repel disable the X?
That's pretty funny. You could similar stuff with tinker back when eth blade was instant and really wreak some havoc.
It's cheesy but euls prevents x's return so there is some risk involved since just about everyone is buying that item these days.
The difference was that the PA one directly tied into the event. Though this one does have a comic about it.

Not according to wiki
Yeah, theres no way youre surviving through the first 7.5 secs of the X duration .
That's too bad. Thanks, though!
the PA one wasnt

I'm trying to get better at static farming. Does anybody have a link to a youtube guide or something? Can't seem to find anything useful via random google/reddit searches.
I can generally get the first few waves to stay at the same position in lane, but two things keep tripping me up.
1. If I screw up on making sure my friendly range creep gets killed before the next wave comes, I can't recover and the resulting double range creep just pushes hard towards the enemy tower. I tried using the click on enemy hero trick to drag a couple of lane creep over to my ranged creep, but it's always so hit-and-miss for me.
2. The wave with the catapult always screws me up. The creeps don't want to hit the catapult too, so it seems like I have to manipulate the wave such that the enemy's catapult hits my catapult, while my catapult is hitting their normal lane creeps. This eventually brings my catapult into deny range over the course of a few waves, but this process also seems really finicky for me.
I'm trying to get to the point where I can make the creep wave stationary over the entire 10 minute last-hit-challenge with PA. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

yeah I could see this being a 5 parter. I hope it isn't, I really wanna see WW in game and I want to know which new bloom cosmetics are chosen before i explode
after that, it's either contentment or depression HEYO
Yeah I made that mistake...Oh . . . you read it left to right, not right to left.

I think if Frog is doing a balance patch tomorrow Mask of Madness will get nerfed fairly heavily. Might be too soon though.
Wha?

I hope they don't go nuts with the balance changes. It doesn't seem that long since the last changes and I don't think you should go wild with the nerf bat based on one big LAN. Also if some underpicked heroes like Lina, Lesh or Slardar get any more buffs they might end up being another jugg.
hush you, Lina needs to be op, she needs her time in the spotlight.

I hope they do something where it's fire vs ice. Ice does extra damage to fire and fire does extra damage to ice. Jakiro OP
Lesh and Lina aren't in a bad place IMO. It's okay for there to be some heroes that are highly situational. Lesh was still picked a couple of matches at DAC anyway. If they buff him in any way I think +1 base armor and maybe a buff to his STR gain is plenty for that hero.
While I think Jugg is totally stupid, I think what needs to be nerfed is his infinite sustainability. That could come in a nerf to MOM, or what I'd like to really see is a healing ward nerf, where taking damage means you heal at 35% of HW's power for a few se, so its used as recovery between battles instead of as a free Rosh.
I don't want him nerfed too hard because I really don't want to see boring ass heroes like Medusa, AM, Naga and Spectre become the go-to carries for every game. Just an adjustment that means he isn't in every single game of AP ranked would be sweet.
Axe too. He's an awesome hero, but too strong. Other beefy long laners like Centaur and Timbersaw should be back in the meta.

I don't think Dota needs more free wins.
Late to the party but i have to sleep while all the Americans are awake
Valve is a business, and when they look at Dota 2 and its revenue stream they do not see a problem
Last year Dota probably made about 30 MILLION DOLLARS for Valve
Sure the community is important, but not at the expense of profits

Private company, they don't have to do shit for investors. All their profit is their profit.
If EA had Dota we would be up to Dota 25: Hattaistic Combat GOTY Xtreme Edition

No, they would've canceled DOTA the moment league had more concurrent players
