Start off the new year with a 9 loss streak, since reaching the 4k gate I've returned to a sea of misfits I didn't want to see for a few more months. I feel crushed.

They got me with Overwatch and I'm like 350 SR away from Diamond and it's killing me inside.

If I don't get it this season I may just go back to DotA mostly but IDK.

That's for 500 euro a month though. I can survive off that cause i have an house of my own and i get tons of money from welfare else it's not something that you can actually live off with.

yeah... that sucks but at least you'll have plenty of time to enjoy life, at a relatively cheap rate.

the problem is that whenever i see a really sweet set now i kind of just assume that it will be one of the 1 in 1000 ultra mega rares in a box of sets that's otherwise just rejected and slightly modified warhammer competition cosmetics

Yeah, same. It's probably smart from their point of view, but it's a real bummer for me. Set/item drop rarity is my least favorite thing they've done with cosmetics.

God FUCK THOSE SHITTY TREASURE CHESTS.

I remember when I could just BUY TI sets and be happy buying the 2-3 I actually wanted instead of BUYING A DOZEN FUCKING BOXES to DUMP THE ONES I HATE and MAYBE GET A CHANCE AT THE ONE I REALLY WANT.

FUCK.

Kids, don't play Spectre this patch.

Why's that?

I've never played Spectre before, but was looking at her abilities yesterday and now I really want to do. Eyeing up a late-game build of Boots of Travel, Radiance, Diffusal Blade, Abyssal Blade, Heart and Butterfly.

Takes ages to come online and has no good way to farm fast. Games will/should be over before you even get those items. She's also nowhere near as tanky earlier, played a babysitting Lion against a solo Spec the other day and got her down to half HP with just a couple of right clicks. The only good thing about having a Spec in your game is you know that if a bad game drags on long enough you know still have a chance.

Ah, fair enough! Thanks for the info, sounds like she really struggles early and mid game then.

Saying that, I do quite like the idea of playing as a hero who can tear it up late game - I've been playing a lot of Necrophos lately, and have had a few games which have really dragged on and I've felt pretty much useless. (although maybe that's my ability and build letting me down!)

Spectre is fine. If you don't think you can rush radiance safely then you can go drums + diffusal + urn and contribute more to fights much earlier with haunt. Saying she's unplayable right now is absolute hyperbole.

Agree on this. She is still great. Don't know about her being super top of the line, but she is still a good hero and has been for many patches now.

My skill build is always "wrong" I guess, though. I go 1-4-4, to maximize tankiness and ability to get haunt kills, whereas I think the "right" build is to max dagger. I just don't like that build because I feel she's too mana-starved to comfortably use dagger to farm (though I agree it's nice for going from camp to camp), so the shorter cooldown/damage isn't that big a deal.

IMO I think Desolate is her best skill still and worth maxing first. I go 1-4-1 at 7 and then either grab a second Dagger and max Dispersion, or max Dagger.

Iron Talon and Desolate really accelerate farm though, especially if things get tough in lane (which will happen a lot). Winning games with Spectre is all about being able to adapt to bad situations.

I used to like maxing Desolate first for the mana reason (also slightly faster farming when there's one creep left in a camp) but found that the extra damage and slow is considerably more reliable if Haunting to kill -- fixed damage rather than the chance Desolate doesn't proc due to bunching, the slow ensures additional hits, and increased slow (like all slows) helps the team a LOT in early fights. 12 seconds of -20% ms puts in work.

I'm just not a fan of more than one level of Dispersion before maxing the other two, but maybe I play her too greedy idk
