I thought AD being broken as fuck was kind of the charm of it. Like picking growth as someone else than tiny and seeing the horrifying results.

when we played, lich took growth and just turned invisible
also some kind of weird interaction with cyka's passive made him run at higher than max movespeed

I play AD a lot too and I agree with you, wish they fixed tons of glitches currently going on, some almost ruin the games for me, like for example the annoying green light that follows you everywhere after getting Walrus punched.
The best and easiest way I think that could get it balanced is if you could also draft your hero or even pick the main stats for a random assigned hero, right after drafting your skills.
That's what cyka's passive is all about, NOTHING STOPS THE CYKA TRAIN
It's even better when you get it along with other speed passive like the razor or SB ones.
so I can confirm, shadow blade space cow is legit.
with stealth and MoM and lvl 4 passive you move at 522 speed.
treads > MoM > shadow blade > maelstrom > bkb > mjol too stronk.
Initial dmg out of invis and charge is ridic combined with ulti.
I had the enemy team roaming as 5 after 25 minutes, at which point our sand king aghanim and disraptor fence + ulti made short work.
10/10 will build again.

Guys, I'm gunna cry. Why does my 3-stack keep getting put up against ridiculous 5-stacks?
One of them has got a 60% winrate in 3800 games and meanwhile on my side I've got a guy that was playing the normal bracket mere hours ago.

peeped.

is anyone here in winnipeg
If you're solo queuing, jungling is very efficient because you're team basically gets 4 farmed/lvl'd cores (kind of like when you have a jungle enigma). Also solo pubs generally won't gank you in jungle so you can get a 6-8 min vlads, a quick medallion, and then a quick rosh. If you're playing with friends or in a stack, the best way is to safe lane until level 3-4 then give the lane xp and farm to your support and go jungle.
To jungle, just buy a quelling/stout/tangos and hope for good spawns--you can generally do most camps, just be efficient (choke point jungle) and pick up bounty runes. You generally want to have your completed basi and ring of regen before you go back to base (you'll only need to go back once, I used to suicide but I don't know if it's worth it anymore with the death timer change, probably ends up being the same amount of time).
Lycan is one of those heroes where you want to completely out economy the enemy team in the early game, and then leverage that gold lead and rosh into a 20-25 minute push. Take all their outer towers, keep dominating the farm/map, and then eventually leverage that into a T3 push. You have to be very careful though, ever since 6.82 this style of play is a lot riskier and losing a fight at T3's with that big gold and xp advantage will put a dent in your lead. If you're team is losing, the best thing you can do as Lycan is constantly split push to create some good fights for your team and stall the enemy team--just make sure to carry a TP and be ready to clean up certain fights.

Yeah that would fix it with heroes for the most part.
I really doubt that fixing the green Walrus punch stuff would be difficult at all.
May I please point out that in the Sniper vs Lycan game mentioned Sniper had Skadi and a Rapier
Thats why he dominated Lycan so hard

Bottle on Axe? Did he go mid or something?
Just had my first Pinoy only (minus me) match ;_;
I've found the Marianas boys.
edit: we still won, despite me knowing ZERO of what they were saying.

i did my best guys. that SF build just not suitable for a 50+ minute match where you're not getting pickoffs.

actually its really good for that purpose too because the extra ms and mana regen let u flash farm jungle nonstop.

You sure? Kecoa is indonesian for cockroach.
Yes, then got mad at enchantress and fed the rest of the game. I think we would have won if he didn't start intentionally feeding.

Same difference, I guess I need to queue EU-W or something
Can I add you on Steam? I also play on SEA. Let's play sometimes if ever I'm not playing with my usual stack (very very seldom though haha).
You can add me but I only play US-W... Or so I thought

It's funny that you can do that in an actual game too. Just need the enemy to have bat and ds or pudge and pick rubick

"omg AA why do you stay in jungle and don't come with us"
*ice blast hits 4*
"..."
fuck pubbers who don't have a clue what they're talking about
I really loved AD when released but quickly stopped playing it because Valve didn't take the time to fix it ( bug wise ) and do the obvious thing of making picking the hero, part of the draft, which would make things far more balanced.
Might be wrong on that, but it also seemed like ( at it's release at least ) that it's matchmaking wasn't (hidden ) mmr based, which if true, would be completly stupid.

Thanks for the Lycan tips Anbokr, because it's jungle I can try making it work in bots before moving on to real games. I've tried jungle Lycan in bots before but my wolves kept dying way too fast, will see how I can improve my micro.
I want to trade the following multiples I have:
Spoils from the Shifting Sorcerer Bundle (Burning's AM Set)
The Gifts of Yoskreth Set (AM)
Revered Arms Set (PL)
The Hare Hunt Set (Sniper)
Relics of the Sundered King (Wraith King)
Shadow Hunter Set (CaspeRRR's Nyx set)
Hell's Ambassador Set (Lion)
Tools of the Demon Witch Set (Lion)
Looking for pudge/axe/techies/dazzle mainly, but all welcome. I have a lot of items from before the drops was changed, so won't be able to accept all trades.
