This LGD draft is pretty cool. I am sure they will have trouble taking down the tanky heroes later with the lack of stuns though.

I love me some Matumbaman action Kreygasm

so there is no point in me picking up a GTX 1080 without a 4k monitor right?

If you want to play the new games on the best quality settings for a long time then sure go ahead with the 1080. I think pairing it up with a GSYNC 144hz monitor would be better imo
but honestly that's up to you if you want higher resolution or higher framerates

edit: I see I was late

Does anyone else keep running into teams consisting of 4-5 strength, super tanky heroes like TImber and Pudge? I see this in at least half, if not more, of my non-ranked matches. I'm not sure what to do about it. I keep getting teams who barely function as a team and it seems like there's no counter to this setup unless your team has some coordination, which is a lot of ask for in unranked.

Yeah, you can buy AC or other -armor items, but the teams are just too tanky and do too much damage, especially early game.

life stealer for strength heroes and slardar/sf for high armour heroes would be my suggestion.

PSA: If you are a core, and buying the Tomes for yourself, you are greedy as all hell. Those are for the supports.

Pick Lifestealer, and adapt depending on what the other team picked. Get disables, smoke for pickoffs, and itemize accordingly for the enemy heroes.

I really wish blizzard implemented that "show as offline" function on battle net as promised years ago but for seemingly no reason still isn't here

I just want to play without getting pestered with party invites and spam damnit

Based on dotabuff counters, Broodmama and Doom are good counters. I don't really know why.

Maybe the auras (vlads, plus any other neutral aura) and the silence against neither-manta-nor-bkb heroes (from orchid or doom) to gank and counter-gank, and the escape (from spin web and shadow blade/blink dagger/movement speed from phase boots and casual drums).

Anyway, an obligatory item would be vlads. I would suggest picking Elder Titan for easy ults.

Now, if we are not talking about Pudge and Timber, but of some other combinations like the disgusting Slardar + Lifestealer run by Newbee, you can call gg as soon as Slardar has a blink dagger.
