No Burning Anti-Mage, how sad. I don't want him to see in an aggressive trilane where he can't farm as a Necrophos.

Can't see IG winning this. VG can just tactical feed their way to mega creeps.

haha what a crazy game
One of the hardest things to learn for new players is efficiency
Most newbies spend 90% of their time walking from lane to lane and playing the afk staring contest in mid
He was probably one of those types that roams all game and gets nothing done

This game was interesting. About 4 minutes in, Phoenix disconnects and there is a long pause for him. Axe starts being negative saying, "We should probably just go, I have a feeling we are gonna lose this. Nobody is talking."
We say "One more minute, and we will resume." Phoenix doesn't come back, so we go. Shortly after the pause I make a mistake and die solo to Ember. AA starts bitching at me for "counter picking" myself.
About two minutes later, I get a solo kill on Ember, Phoenix reconnects, Axe and I are making plays, AA is still being a negative Nancy, and AM asks "What item should I get?" and we say "Manta, BKB, etc." and he says "I don't think Manta is worth it." and we are all like "... Seriously?!"
Our whole team continues to make plays, AM gets farm and ends up getting the Manta after we convince him. Then I shit you not, two minutes after AM gets the Manta, he uses it in front of Doom when he gets caught out, and Doom Dooms an illusion. Purchase. Fucking. Validated.
We proceed to win the game, despite the grim beginnings and negative Nancys.

So how much do people give (constructive) unsolicited feedback to a teammate? A game last night I went dual-offlane as Jaki with an AM who was just blinking in super aggressively and getting blown up by an SK/PA over and over. Eventually I suggested switching lanes around a bit and he found a little more space but the whole time I wanted to just go on about letting me kinda zone out their heroes a bit since I was decently strong against them and let him focus on at least getting up a PMS/treads/quelling whatever to get a decent baseline. i guess I should just speak up In a constructive manner and see what happens.
So like, why did he drop it?
Just speak your mind but keep it friendly. I've found that a lot players can be quite friendly if you go at it the right way. Don't be the guy who responds to random stuff happening with "omg", "wtf", etc. A lot of the time people won't even realize what you mean with the amount of stuff you may have to keep track of at any moment but if you explain in a friendly manner what went wrong it mostly works out alright. If all else fails just be liberal in using your mute button. It's a dota players best friend.

... Who the fuck knows. I didn't even know he dropped it till you asked. I thought maybe it would be because 6 slots, but nope, only 3 slotted without the Manta.
You just can't explain these things.
Someone else Euls'd him, it is in fact a stun, otherwise a ton more people would escape it.
Also you can't Phase Shift out of a root, it's treated like a blink in that regard. You can Orb and Jaunt though.
It's a stun but I don't think it lasts long enough for the animation to complete. It was definitely a self-eul's you can't use eul's on teammates and the opposing side didn't have one.
Here, have a look.
he still had shallow grave on himself
thats why he lived
he probably pressed euls before necro ultied him
so the necro ult animation happened but he lived cause of the grave and then instantly got euls'd from his previous spam clicking of it
Necros ulti kills before the scythe actually hits the ground
So he was graved at the moment the spell animation finished so he lived
if that makes sense
EDIT:
Max grave is 5 seconds
Necro ulti stun is 1.5 seconds
so im 99% sure in correct about what happened
Ah yeah, I see what you're saying. You can see the 830~ damage come out from the scythe before the animation completes. I think when I dodged it with phase shift it was still a 1 second stun only.
It does look incredibly close and it's weird that when dazzle is in the air with the eul's he still has the reaper scythe debuff on him.

Sounds solid to me.

Only $300? With prices like that I can't afford to pass it up.Both. It's crazy! At least you get a new weapon!

Not unlike a certain enigma build.
I'm only in the jungle for ~10 mins top.
This must be the most annoying lineup to play against.
Maybe if you replaced bane with a broodmother it would just be the worst
