Maskless TA is good
Also she has nice hairs
And she has the best rune for items

I watched a little bit of GTA on twitch last night. It looks amazing. I generally dislike GTA games but I was impressed as hell at the way NPCs interact with your player character
Also +/- 4 streamers showed their game key on their stream and then couldn't play because someone had stolen their key
I bought it, started downloading yesterday. Hopefully it's done by the time I get home from work today.
From that Brazilian site you had to use a VPN to activate? As good of as a deal as that sounds, it seems a bit sketchy for me. On top of that I had $45 Steam $ anyway, so no real reason not to use it.

the site is legit
Well regardless I had Steam $.
We need a new patch so damn badly. I am sick and tired of Troll, and Snipper to a slightly lesser degree. Troll does almost everything you want in a hero.
Stun/bash? Check
Blind? Chck
Attack Speed? Check
Damage? Check
Melee? Check
Range? Check
EHP? Check
He's squishy early game, sure and vulnerable to magic, but 90% of the time what's going to happen is you'll get him down to almost no HP with magic damage, then he Whirling Axes in your face, you try to right click him, miss, and he either gets away or kills you and gets away.
Yesterday I was playing Tinker, and I blinked into trees away from someone, and I didn't know the enemy troll showed up. I was very low, TPing out, then suddenly whirling axes which gave him vision to pop range and hit me....
This hero does goddamn everything.

i have always thought about the dotaverse and how strong it is in relation to other fiction. i really think lore wise some dota heros would probably take on the DBZ universe and come out as winners.
Goku would try to approach Snipper and Snipper would just headshot him over and over again.

HO HO HA HA!
yeah but on a serious note probably goku would meet his end on the hands(wings?) of phoenix since its a flying sun and what not. lore wise phoenix ult burns the solar system.

It was $4 at TI4, people are just greedy.anuxi why is your dazzle set so expensive, i want it so badly.
Hearthstone and HotS are fun as hell.
People win or lose and nobody gives a fuck because you can grind out more games, you get blizzard points, and you can play offline. And it doesn't matter since games are like 5-10 minutes.
Best Drow set I've seen in months.

It's sort of a ying/yang thing.
Also count me in 4 6.84 patch.
AIM was to Americans as Orkut was to Brazilians.

Sylvannas is Drow, Alleria is Windranger.
I was drawing parallels, that's why I said Alleria is Windranger, should have said Alleria Windrunner = Lyralei Windranger. So Traxex isn't based on Sylvannas? My bad then.

Sylvannas is the Ranger-General who becomes the Dark Ranger
Traxex is the Drow Ranger
Alleria is the Windrunner
Lyralei is the Windranger
HotS is a lot of missed opportunities and half-assery.
Probably one of the biggest things that annoys me is the half-assed micro mechanics. Now I don't know if this is different for the Lost Vikings hero, but for the Brewmaster one (I forget his name), he has a heroic ability which is the signature split. However your pandas are stuck in this stupid triangle formation the whole time and the only control you have over it is to spread them out and then they slowly close in. Like....why can't they just let players micro their stuff? That shit makes absolutely no sense.

The most infuriating thing is that this is from the company that created the engine RTS games that started this whole craze to begin with. I don't understand why this is such a hard thing to get right, and why PC MOBA games are so afraid of letting you click on something other than your hero to move it.
You forgot slow, flying vision, and movespeed, and global ulti
Indeed I did. Literally everything.

when your team consists of troll, LC, phoenix, and skywrath, and everyone has put their lane markers in place, and the last person on your team picks PA and runs to the offlane
b-but you can farm with dagger and you have a super powerful escape !

The fucking worst is picking a solo offlane hero and then that last moron picks another offlaner and leeches your fucking xp and does nothing but feed occasionally and push the wave

***against doom and tony + wisp

Still don't think there's a hero with a more complete toolset than Earth Spirit. There's no other hero that has:
A stun skill
A silencing skill
An escape/initiate skill that's also a slow
A DoT(THAT REFRESHES)
Aside from that he also has:
A poor man's blink(the kick)
A rich man's Force Staff(the pull)
A rich man's Lasso if you get Aghs.
The best thing is that the first are ALL aoe, so you can potentially hit an entire team with them. And don't bother checking whether any hero even comes close to that toolset, I checked. Only thing ES doesn't have is a nuke.

gap closer
stun
skill shots
AoE damage ult
Huh.
Current earth spirit is ok, he doesn't snowball like fuck when he gets lv 3-5 (seriously that was stupid as fuck) and kind of falls off
Flying Vision? the fuck

Ranged axes give flying vision
He's not as stupidly OP as he used to be, just very strong right now. However he doesn't have everything. Remember, having a small number of rocks means your hero is entirely on cooldown basically.
Provides 900 radius flying vision around the axe in the middle while traveling. Vision lasts 3 seconds at the end only. - Whirling Axes Ranged
Both axes provide 500 flying vision around themselves. The vision does not last. - Whirling Axes Melee

Wouldn't diffusal on windranger be very good ? That attack speed is just fucking absurd
i guess it's good situationally, but usually if you're at the point where you can kill them as semicarry WR, do you really need it?
I guess it might work, you need Aghs first though for sure.
