The best mode hon had was a ranked rd (banning draft). Something like that would be perfect for ranked with the highest mmr player on each side gets to ban 2 heroes each. I'm all about that RD though--best mode by far and it's the mode me and my RL friends used to play 6-8 years ago back in dota1 at the LAN cafe (so lots of nostalgia).

Got stuck in a long game with Sniper, but I felt I needed more DPS, my build was not so effective. What is the ultimate build for late game Sniper?
http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/1317567041
I have tried lots of combinations, but none clicked.
I think the most effective was my first build: Satanic, Skadi, Mjöllnir, Boots of Travel, and... Shadow Blade, Gem of True Sight. If the ennemy were different, I would have dropped one of these two. Maybe for Deso.

I mean the ultimate late game build to own people and manage to finish ultra-long games.

Mjolnirr, boots of travel, skadi, daedalus, mkb/rapier, butterfly/satanic/bkb if too many lockdown

Yeah, there's a lack of MKB. That is a very strong item on sniper. Not sure why people don't get it more, tbh.

Drkirby:
Maybe Team Tinker has actually put together a good roster this time. Unless teams pick up hard though, TI5 is going to be a bit weak though.

Can TT even qualify for a LAN from now till July?
Most tournaments only have 1 NA slot which goes to EG .
They ought to focus on their TI5 qualifier strats and some kind of video for the Summit 3 redemption vote.
My guess about TI5 invites:
Direct Invites (nine): EG, C9, Secret, Navi, LGD, iG, Empire, Rave, VG,
Qualifiers (six): 2 China, 2 EU, 1 NA, 1 SEA
Wildcards (three): 1 China, 1 NA, 1 EU
mason:
the game used to be so much more fun when meepo/es didnt exist and high skilled pubs used tobe stack vs stack. now its just 1 6k+ 4 4ks mirror matches and whoever has the biggest retards loses. thank god i dont play.
whats sad is i remember how i won so many games in dota when mmr first came out. id identify the biggest retard on the other team and just feed off him. super fun and good MM system valve put in place.

I imagine this is going to be IHL2 in a nutshell.

Hmm, what was the last big patch before TI4?
it's a reason I'm just watching.So the Drow in this game is afk at top rune alone, and dies. When I call him out jokingly for being alt tabbed, he starts screaming about how it's my fault that he died and after spewing racial and sexual slurs at me, he mutes me.
He proceeds to lose mid hard, and go afk jungle.
I go ballin' as Carry Venge, and while we ultimately lost, it was a fun game.
The entire time, he's bitching to the other team that he has no supports and nobody ever calls missing (We tried, he muted everyone 5 minutes in), mocks me for "Playing a hard support as a carry" and is a general piece of scum. He even has his company's website as his steam name. The way he acted, our team was genuinely wondering if he had mental issues. He's gonna piss someone off someday that's gonna take down his site or something, lol. Oh, Dotes.

"Are we all adopting dumb quoting styles now?" asked Sentient Keyboard, clearly confused.
"What makes you say that?" replied Gentle Rodriguez, not understanding the problem.

My match making luck today is fucking hideous. 4v5 and intentional feeder back to back. In GW2 I got premades and 4v5s for 4 straight games.

I think it changes the mechanic of invisibility in the game. You can smoke and use abilities, ward, etc., but not with invisibility. It's an interesting concept, but giving him free smoke is a little overpowered in my opinion.

When you cannot refresher things happen. That or they got a lucky bash.
I'm looking at it like Riki tbh. He get's a free pass cuz he's always invis so it makes sense, but BH stays invis a fuck ton as well. IDK tho. Probably too good.

Actually I think this would be a good buff to bounty. not a huge deal for core bounty (assuming combat items like hex/dagon/etc. do pop invis) but would buff support bounty nicely.
What I would like to see is him unfade and then refade without needing another cast of Shadow Walk, making Shadow Walk a buff that doesn't get dispelled until it times out or he attacks.
Edit: Enemy took Sniper from me, I gave him the ol' CHARGE!!!

I a bit suprised my team didn't give me flack for my build. Crimson Guard into Vlads (Game ended to fast to finish scepter). I figured we had enough carries that I could go more utility, and Crimson Guard helps a lot vs Troll IMO.
7:3 =/= 1:1
I still have a 51% win rate. Clearly the game is Pay2Win, the more hats you own the more ez games
Also, I believe this topic sorely lacks in the struggle of person trying to get 4k, so I started playing ranked a bit.
Dear Dairy. Today I lost 1mmr, making me net zero for this week. My first game had an axe that rage quitted, and I was unable to micro him well (Plus my team sold all his items). I think we could have come back too if he stayed and had a better attitude. Then, I played 3 games as Sniper and peeped a total of 54 people. Then had a 28 minute win as Spirit Breaker. All in all, I feel like we should have lost like 2 of my Sniper games, but we didn't. I need to stop getting so caught up in team fighting on cores, it took 30 minutes to get RoA/MoM/S&Y, we won because our Clock owned in the mid game and the enemy never pushed their advantage.

I'm trying to get there in honor of Hylian! Lend me ur powers bro pls spirit bomb me
I'm honestly surprised that there aren't more mods that turn the dota characters into other fictional characters, and avatar ones specifically.
