At least it looks nice.

Only kidding all the gold items look fucking horrendous.

the sad thing is that I started getting into jakiro right before 6.82 and owning with him. Then the patch hits and he becomes super popular :(

I remember the patch when Ice Path was reworked to what it is now. It used to be a really crappy stun because the animation was super long and it only hit on the initial cast, not running into it when it was already on the ground. Jakiro was an absolute joke back then.

girl let me tell you
so i had no idea what like... the "rules" of random draft were because i literally never play that mode so i was just waiting to pick and then i got randomed techies ??? i thought i'd just end up with the gold penalty like u do in all pick but nope, out of all the heroes in this shit game, it randoms me techies. and then i had to go mid against death prophet? like what kind of aids is this? i did ok mid though tbh having never done it before. i got some last hits with his shitty starting damage and some cute denies too. if i had a real hero i would have slayed, but c'est la vie

also salty satch came out and i told steve to kill himself

Sorry bout that. Saw the other gaf stack so I went full tryhard and picked my highest winrate mid hero :X

Someone tried to argue with me last night that stats on AM over more than one point in Spell Shield is more EHP. I'm not an expert at EHP calculations, but this sounds like bullshit to me. I maxed Spell Shield first in that game because the other team had Skywrath, Invoker, Legion, Earthshaker, and Clockwerk.

Now we were against solo Clockwerk in lane, but I was expecting rotations from Skywrath and Invoker, so I maxed Spell Shield. Was this the right thing to do?

Woah, my clicker friend does this as well. At the start of every game I mention how good glimpse is and that it's his best skill. Then he alternately levels up the other skills.

It is because he most likely under-estimates the range of the spell. The range is unbelievable.

Can someone give me a super cheese strat for Medusa? Playing this slut for hero challenge and I fucking haaaaaaateeeeee her, she's the worst. I tried Steve Losewood's Helm ancient stacking but I always forget to do it. Especially looking for skill build recommendations.

Phase Boots, Aquila Ring and cost-efficient items (bracer, wand, tp scroll), then Rapier+Roshan at the 20 min mark.

The spell is amazing and glimpsing someone's TP never gets old.

Probably saw the level 1 range and didn't realize the range scales with level.

He clicks his spell icons, the tooltip and range indicator are probably burnt into his screen already.

I like aquilla -> Phase -> Drums -> Manta -> DPS(be it daedalus, butterfly or MKB) -> Skadi.

Any later and it depends game to game.

I think I played Medusa for the first or second time yesterday. I was really surprised at the damage Mystic Snake put out. Was solo safe against a windrunner and io though...

glimpsing spirit breaker is also incredible, especially if you thunder strike him first so you can see him sad in the woods

why are your visage builds so clowny

im trying to find a way to make him work in the solo queue struggle

like yeah, i could play a different hero that's an actual carry OR! i could just make up a build that lets him do #JustCarryThings. visage is my waifu, like drow is for D-V. you don't just abandon your waifus.

Medallion -> Treads -> Aghs -> AC -> Mjollnir and then hex or something like that would be my suggested build.

Wow I didn't expect Milk to make an entire thread for IHL!

link?

The stats back this up as well. Aui averages 388 gpm on a much less successful team than zai's 350 gpm.

Exactly. Everyone criticizes Pie for feeding but if you really think about it, given that C9 is a greedy ass team that wants to spread out and farm all over the map versus 5-manning, one of the most popular ways to counter that strategy is to go for smokes to pick them off. But what often happens is that they just find Pie and kill him, and well, if you're 5-man smoke gank's only accomplishment is to kill off a 5-position support, then you've lost a considerable amount of time whereas C9 is just split pushing or freefarming.

A lot of his feeds are pretty intentional I think. C9 heavily emphasizes efficiency and to them, feeding a 5 position support gives the enemy team like zero exp and minimal gold, while taking up 3-5 of the enemy player's time. Time, where C9 is catching up or pulling ahead. Even if they want to take an objective after that kill, Pie's respawn timer is probably low enough to make it back in time anyways.

The interaction between urn and blink is so weird now. I guess the first instance of damage must take a second to occur, because I've had so many people blink out when I used urn on them.

Anyone have the Dota2 mini plushes? Are they as crappy looking IRL as they look online?

There is a lot of variance betwen quality from plushie to plushie; even between two of the same, but yea generally low quality. Something to put on your car rearview mirror or Frostivus tree.

I saw some guy on campus with 5 Meepos. Really hope they do the brewlings and nagas for TI5 as multiples look nice.

RIP old Alliance.

Ya, Alliance is pretty bad now. Sounds like they have parted ways with Misery and don't want to wait on Chessie's back much longer. Are there any free agents out there that would fit with Alliance, or is Loda going to have to try and poach players like Pajkatt and Zai.

Loda could replace sing or bulba easily.

Just got home. Can confirm that the plushies are somewhat low quality. But also can confirm that a golden demihero figure is cool as fuck
