Because doing what's best for the team is what pub Dota is all about.

The russian version only costs like $23, but it will fluxuate because you can't bet exalted items on Dota2Lounge.
So essentially all the arcana pre-orders are for playing only.
After 7/12 they will not be exalted but at the same time will not be 20% off. Expect another correction if and when the PA arcanas are allowed on D2L for betting.
Damn.. so exalted is actually a worthless tag.. I dig the PA arcana but I have trouble justifying spending roughly $30 on what amounts to be just a bunch of ones and zeroes (even moreso on a hero that I barely play). At the same time, I really dig how it looks...tough decisions (ok maybe not tough but annoying nevertheless).
pitlord hype
Tested some of these:
-shallow grave works as expected
-borrowed time must be activated manually (even if ult is up, if damage would be lethal he will die)
-nyx will not reflect the damage and will take it instead. If carapace is activated during FP it will reflect and stun, but nyx will also take the damage at the end of FP
-blademail never reflects (neither if activated during FP or activated when damage triggers)
-Neither Euls, storm, nor SD will save you from FP damage (which is different than when I tested it earlier)
-Damage disperses normally
One other thing to note is that alch continues to be the worst because he's actually a bad target for FP, since during ult he wants all damage to be taken as desperate instances since he can regen it back.
aww, so many funny videos lost. Thanks for testing it btw.
Damage dispersion, does it reflect the damage before the ult end and does it reflect it again when the ult ends?
only disperses during the ult
Alright thanks.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Fuck, how am I going to decide which hero to statue?

if its able to be redone i bet it would be like the hammers and have like 5 charges
Someone on reddit said it might work with Chisels
So you can use a chisel charge on it and it goes back to being a block

I'm legit salty. I don't like seeing my second baby Dusa lose.
Do you guys think if all 5 had just stayed and focused the throne instead of trying to stop a solo WK they win that race? Second rapier was almost to Dusa and they dropped the T4's in seconds.

This isn't really a good excuse at all. Given the choice between a huge target out of position/stunned/etc, or a Pugna with no mana running away, even the worst players would probably kill the huge target
...unless Pugna was the contract for that game, and now the huge target gets away because PA was off chasing Pugna
Valve shouldn't encourage poor game play decisions with hat rewards.

There are tons of idiots that would kill that pugna just for the plus 1 on that sweet k/d.
Overall I think there is still some wrinkle people are mostly missing but who knows.

Couldn't have hurt, they were obviously conflicted between backing and going all in, leaving Dusa no choice but to back as well. Even if they had succesfully defended base they'd just be right where they started, should have just gambled on the base race.

MVP playing Void + Sniper combo against Team Tinker, wow.
Also, Sniper was stronger prior to his headshot change.

All this arcana talk, when is Vengeful Spirit going to have her own Arcana? I'm tired of only not having any crazy particle effects on her skull.
Totally better. You can't outdps anyone anymore, it's tragic. People just walk in your face and kill you even with your better range, while before they had an hard time attacking because of all the ministuns canceling attack animations. IF nice nerf zzzz

Lone Druid is voiced by Nolan North wtf?
Does he voice anyone else?

I assumed this meant that if the damage was already divided like that it meant it could be reflected.

You can literally play a 5v5 of all Nolan North characters.

This needs to happen
Not sure when I'll be able to use Lone Druid properly, my micro is pretty poor. Don't know how best to keep Druid out of trouble, and close to the bear either. Especially when the bear is faster than him.
I need to equip both with a TPS to get both around the map quickly, right?

Yeah, the hero sucked ass before; I couldn't think of anyone less nerf-worthy. Hell, he had a sub-50% pub win%. Literally nobody was bothered by him.

The bear can be instantly ported to Sylla if it's not taking damage.
damn nolan north is a beast

5v5 Nolan North heroes vs the guy who did Slardar, Anti-Mage and all those other characters.

Dang there are a lot of people who've done like 5+ heroes.
Axe and Kunkka were done by the same guy who did Duke Nukem, amazing.

Fun fact about Jon St. John is that he came to my college for a terrible organized panel that devolved into him doing prank calls with the Duke Nukem voice. We asked him to call a friend as one his Dota heroes, and he said that it had been a while but he'd try. We coached him on Axe and Kunkka, which he abandoned 20 secs into the call to say those guys were pussy nerd shit and just did the Duke Nukem voice.
The End.
