Ok since this has popped up multiple times and its my day off

Omniknight is extremely strong right now because of multiple things

1) His laning presence in pubs. With his near-instant cast time and skillset, he can apply a lot of pressure in the offlane against dual lanes and weaker trilanes. Purification is no joke when it comes to pressuring the enemy carry if they're melee, or turning trades completely on their head. The argument is that he isn't picked in professional games because pro players can zone him out, but that's not the case most of the time in pub games.

2) His skillset and how it allows his cores to play. When you have an omniknight on your team, you're allowed to play completely different than normal. Most aggressive actions aren't punishable when you have the hammer of the omniscient behind you. Whether you're doing cheese strats like Storm/Huskar or running any ol' core, omniknight allows them to get these kills/objectives without any possible response from the enemy team.

3) Diffusal and omniknight - What it means. The commonplace argument is that omniknight is weak to diffusal blade. While that's not an entirely false statement, a smart omniknight player really cares little for diffusal blade. If his repel is diffusal'd off, he can simply ulti them. If that's diffusal'd, he can force staff them. The saying 'a 3100g item counters him' makes no sense, especially with the new cd in place, especially when he can buy a 2300g item to reset the positioning of whatever hero you're using charges on. Not only that, but unless it is a naturally core item on the hero (ie. Jugg, PL), you are gimping and slowing down your own core's progression (who is most likely the 1-2 as opposed to their 3) in order to downplay the enemy team's support hero.

I've seen players jump 1k mmr just by picking this hero, and it's really no coincidence. Honestly Hylian you're so fucking inbred.

Played my first game in 6 months, the horror of the redesigned UI came rushing back.

No communication, supports not playing support. It feels like home.

This is unacceptable Valve.

This is the email I received: https://i.redd.it/ptwzzd4qhtbx.png

Will Call tickets do not receive the Ticket ID.

I would have bought a ticket from one of my buddies in the States and linked it if I knew this was the case. What a bunch of fucking idiots. At least let us know beforehand.

That the windrunner shit is a big seller makes me feel dirty.

Also, did the glasses cost $18 last year? Or did prices go up? Might just get a single blind plush this TI :\

OK this makes me think... in 5 years time, how will valve handle all the special effects that accumulated from immortal items, arcanas and other items like the imbued ones. For now these special effects are fine with me but I fear it might be detrimental in the years to come. Let's hope I'm wrong cause I love hats :)

I am expecting a(nother) response from the Secret Shop soon.

Was told there was a bug in the system they're trying to fix before August 5th, whatever that means.

They will be sending another email out is what the customer service agent told me.

Sand King is so much fun right now. If the team picks a melee core you can shutdown their lane. Then I've been going tranqs->ags-->Aether Lens->Veil-->Octarine. I know the no blink is questionable, but that ags/Aether Lens combo, damn the initiation. Last night I one-shot a PL who was lvl 11 with treads and diffusal, felt good.

Now, i know Monster Hunter story is usually an aftertought used only to give context to the hunts and whatnot

But MHX ending was pretty much The Holy Grail's with a monster hunter skin.

Might i also add to the earlier conversation that Shadow Demon is still really good against Omni. Poison still stacks and his ult is extremely strong against him. Especially if he goes aghs and gets the 3 charges. Also, the soul catcher can't be purged by repel, iirc.

Try him out next time you see Omni. You might be surprised, provided you stay alive to use your abilities of course.

I actually completely forgot about SD Aghs, mostly because I almost never see that hero. He definitely is great against Omni though.
