My 15 game win streak just came to a end. Three of those were year beast games but that's beside the point. Previous best was 9.


Sorry, i needed i needed to complain somewhere.

 

[manfestival]

i dont understand how I am +20 wins in 6.82 and then this patch im 10 wins under

 

[Hazaro]

Yesssssssssssssss it tastes so good

Trading for pretty much anything:

 

[Tobe]

whoever say that peruvians dont invest on dota, they are retarded as fuck im just gonna say that a friend in a span of 2 months made about 3k usd just selling in store items in his spare time.

 

[JambiBum]

I don't know how well Merlini's team will do if that roster is real. I've never thought TC was that good of a player. The rest aren't bad though.

 

[kasane]

finding match for 8 minutes

coem on valve

lmao

[Qvoth]

googled merlini dota 2 team and didn't get anything, who're his teammates? what's the team called?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

11 straight with Sniper. Stoppin powwah.

Does this mean we can no longer buy them from the store after May 1?

hopefully it means less nickle & diming from Valve. In this case, removing the need to have these items in order to add/remove gems from items.

Core Leshrac is fucking great. It's a shame he doesn't see more use in comp play (but I guess he doesn't fit too well)

I want to believe, but probably means more nickle and diming if the current trends goes on.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Just won an epic match as Invoker, 3vs5 from the 2nd minute, 3vs4 from the 10th. Some fantastic lane control and pushing to win it with all 4 Tier 4 towers down. Of course, not only does it not count as a win for the challenge, but it wipes the entire thing so its like it never happened

Really can't decide between Cold Snap and Ghost Walk for my second ability, since I just can't switch on the fly without losing my head. Forge Spirit is a must for me.

How would Leshrac be in Year Beast?

Good idea, I'll join. Is the channel NeoGAF or some invite only? I just joined neoGAF and asked but noone seems to be on.

That there shows just why this event is so P2Win.

You need to get invited to the guild. I'm not sure who can invite but I'm sure they read this thread.

Holy shit hahahaha

you should watch episode #100 it has an undying rampage :^)

 

[abunai]

if there's room in the guild these days i could do with an invite too, keep forgetting

 

[BHK3]

Year beast doesn't refresh Ultimates anymore it seems like.

Also got the dota cinema centaur set, anyone want to trade for it?

 

[twobear]

i've been watching dotacinema's hero a-z dual lane challenge, oh my god, the lols

[edit] i also don't think that there'll be a time when a techies getting a 5 man wipe with remote mines will not be funny. even when it happens to my team i laugh.

[edit2] also , when there's SERIOUS EPIC MUSIC playing and the guy's name is 'the rape-inator' fucking ewofmgb selh sethb srtm

 

[Night_Hand]

I like how you can tell the mmr of a game just by looking at the last hits and the number of bkbs

 

[carizcoiso]

According to swindlemelonzz, its Merlini, Fogged, TC, Clairvoyance and Monib (NEL player).

 

[Kade]

I haven't played this mode yet.

 

[Monochromaticx]

According to swindlemelonzz, its Merlini, Fogged, TC, Clairvoyance and Monib (NEL player).

And monlib is sumail's older brother or something.



Can I have a guild invite too while we're at it ?

Yawar is sumail's older brother not Monib. He's with Ehug with tralf now.

well I can see why he'd want to try to play in the TI qualifiers considering EG will get the invite and the best teams they'd have to compete with are Fire and Tinker. NA Doto

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I need to be that RNGesus next time I do year beast.

Dumb question, do the upgrades stack at all for the beasts? Since there's only 3 paths, people on the same team have to take the same one at some point, so is there only reason for one person to upgrade them or what?

 

[Manus]

Two solo queue Year Beasts won in a row. Warlock really is OP for this mode. Especially if I'm going in solo.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Just won my 3rd YB game in a row, Luna wrecks them all.

 

[Jadax]

And I lost my 3rd game in a row...this time grouped with Peruvians

 

[Pureauthor]

I accidentally queued into a normal game when I wanted to queue for YB.

Well that's my story for the night

If you still want to, got a wrath of ka set of necrophos to trade, I am only online in two hours or so though.

That reminds me, I asked this the other day but no one answered.

Do people ever max Decay on Undying? Someone mentioned they were surprised to see only one point in it the other day and that makes perfect sense to me. The strength steal is the same, the damage itself isn't that great, and you certainly don't have the mana early game to be spamming it on those shorter cooldowns, so the longer cooldown is fine. I would think maxing Decay is garbage, and Soul Rip or Tombstone is the one you want. Which one of those though?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Eugh

I used to be so fucking bad at sorting out my inventory between the slots, stash and courier. Kind of got it figured out now.

 

[Zeknurn]

Always max Tomb.

Always max tombstone.

On the question of soul rip vs decay... I'm actually not a huge fan of soul rip so while the shorter cooldown and slightly increased damage on decay aren't scaling super well, it's certainly viable to put some points into it. Compared to not having any mana, if you're not putting any more points into decay it can lead a case where you end up with a lot of unused mana, which isn't any good either. It depends on the laning situation and if you want to harass with decay or wait for a good teamfight opportunity. The more you want to harass, the more viable additional points in decay become. At max level it's 216 dmg on a 4 second cd, that ain't too bad for a nuke.

I haven't tried out the 1 point in decay/ultimate and then go stats build someone pointed out earlier, but that might be something I tinker with in the future.

Yeah maxing decay is trash. Soul rip and tombstone all day, but always first level decay simply because of the static strength steal. Unless there is some sort of clowny fight happening at a beginning rune that needs a tombstone for slowing or securing kills.

 

[SecretMoblin]

you guys were right; nobody focuses the tombstone during YB fights

undying is kind of nuts if he's able to stay alive

even if he isn't the tomb does work even in death.
