Ah I see. I'll try that once I random her again. The build sucked without Blade Mail.

I always joke with my League friends that TSM has a shit League team but they're okay at every other game, so I wouldn't mind AF becoming TSM.

Yeah I'm copying this from /r/dota2 but whatever.
First public match after 10 bot games.
No idea if that was the default build from Valve or if I just saw loads of stats on those items and thought they were OP.
Really thought Dota was fawful but between ragequitting league and loads of Purge videos something clicked after a dozen hours of gametime.
Edit: Actually no way basher was recommended on DK. Guess I didn't understand DK's ult well the first game.

According to OpenDota I queued into a guy who started around the time I started and who fed that game we were in and is a 7.2k player today lol.

My first pub match after bot games:
https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/699036560
I still remember that game. Old Bloodseeker and I just ran a train through that other team. Felt good.
Then I played ranked and hoo boy:
https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/738330208
I don't even know how we won that one. I was an idiot.
I still am, but I used to be too.

My first game.
Somehow I had more farm than Weaver, despite feeding like crazy.
The only person in that match that still plays Dota today is the Bloodseeker. (other than me)

apparently my first "real" game per dotabuff I queued with Ties and Satch and some other GAF person and played Lifestealer because Satch called him "babbie's first carry" (I remember that part)
then it was maybe 2 solid months of smurfs ruining games -- io-relocating into enemy bases, force staff shenanigans, screaming over mic about lack of farm or mistimed stuns or not pulling perfectly, etc.
This is why I'm a 3-time state champion dota coach now.

That reminds me, I had a match yesterday (or it was the day before maybe?) where an IO on the other team relocated to our side of the map on a ward spot...where I placed a ward to place a ward. I happened to be close by and killed him. He says in chat "What were the odds....that there was already a ward at the spot I picked"

Damn Ogre is so strong right now. There are very few supports better than him.

How're Witch Doctor and Shadow Shaman this patch?

What if I'm below 2k? In my defense I was close to 2k after TI ranked but forgot to play enough to keep it :/

kinda feels like meepo gets counterpicked the most though
Yeah, in this fighting patch I would not pick Abaddon as a support. The faster leveling is nice for him like any support, but he can also benefit from having items more than most supports would. Thus I only play him in the offlane.
His winrate is really good right now but I would only pick him in certain situations. Good against teams with insignificant lockdown, glass cannons so u can blademail and blow them up, and melee lineups as with phase boots and his slow it's hard to get away from him. But I just feel like any number of other offlane are more effective right now.
I usually random but...
Pudge: All of the fighting in this patch makes it easy to build up flesh heap stacks even if you are dieing a lot.
PA: Again, the fighting patch allows her to grab a quick deso and be effective. Squishy supports are quickly vanquished and glass cannon carries are regretful.
If I'm offlane, probably Dark Seer. The early fighting allows him to melt supports and glass cannons so easily.

I've never seen the anime but I'm pretty sure it's this:

After the implementation of source 2 and the new items, old game's item builds went to shit, that's prolly not a basher.

Hm better late game wins virtually in all of my games recently. Had some mid 4k games lately and it mostly came down to the carry heavy line up not getting creamed on in the laning stage. People at my bracket certainly don't take enough advantage of superior lanes and then just proceed to lose. I had a 5.2k Centaur on the enemy team who got a 17 min Radiance and took our T1 and T2 as a solo off laner by like 15 minutes.
Not even sure how that shit happens in my games. Picking greedy certainly seems to do the trick in most of my pubs
edit: To be fair, we won that game because they handed it to us. Had I been their Sniper, this would have been the shortest game on EUW.
why would my parents name my brother jerry?

So, lately I have been playing Bristle and although is a very simple hero (Q, W, Q, Q, W, etc) it's quite fun. My questions are, what are the biggests counter against him?
Build related, I'm going with:
- Treads,
- Vanguard,
- Blade Mail
- Sometimes Vlads
- Crimson
- Halberd.
Late game I usually buy Travel and sell Treads in order to leave a free slot for Heart or Radiance.
Is there anything I should do to improve it? So far now it's working great, except in a certain match I had against a SF which, sadly, didn't go so well.

Your avatar is a pretty good counter since he's forced to face LC.
Silver edge destroys him as well.
Necro destroys him.

Thanks guys, I got some new ideas to try on him.
PD: I read "Narco" instead of "Necro" :lol

Sometimes....you just have those games where you look at it and go "What the fuck have we done?"

I needed BKB a lot sooner, and perhaps playing mid core Tusk wasn't the greatest idea, despite how it got us into a winning spot in the first place.
