So is the Timbersaw nerf to reactive armor just to make people put more points in it early? I feel like players do that already and when they do it's really effective. You don't really lose that much with this nerf, especially when you're constantly refreshing stacks during a gank.

It looks like its aimed to making his laning stage weaker, which it should do.

 

[kionedrik]

PPD asked him to join EG back in 2014, and he did very well as their stand in for Fear during Starladder 9.

2 years is such a long time... he's not the same person and his "value" is at the lowest it has ever been. He might get some sort of redemption but judging by his performances in these last 8-9 monts it seems all chips are stacked against him.

[Artanisix]

looks good, its pretty much just a small buff/nerf patch to tide us over until teh MONKEY KANG patch

 

[LucidMomentum]

yeh 2 late nao

Yeah wasn't 100% interested in it so I guess I'll miss out, but I love the warhammer aesthetic so can't wait to see what's in the chests!

 

[Twookie]

someone on reddit compiled all warhammer submissions:https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/4yj3lb/all_warhammer_chest_contest_submissions_updated/



do note that some of the submissions on that list are there because the creators just put on warhammer tag to get exposure and not because it's warhammer inspired( a reddit comment explains more in detail)

Oh shit I forgot pro rosters open till Sept 4
Invitation period: Sept 4-18

 

[Artanisix]

this kunkka warhammer item OH BOY

 

[Sibylus]

As inventory items go: Middle Mouse left, MM down, and MM right, and then DPI Switch rebound to G-Switch to get the bottom row of items works pretty decently. Makes tactile sense to my brain and I don't have to change hand position.

Dusted off a few heroes I haven't played in forever: Dazzle and Lich.

Dazzle game was suffering incarnate (0-14-30, 46 sentry wards bought, but we won

): https://yasp.co/matches/2583699312/

Lich game was a lot more enjoyable. Got to go Aghs and be all "Fuck illusions, fuck your carry, fuck everything": https://yasp.co/matches/2583791866

Good patch, will tide us over till 6.89. Bring on next Tuesday!

Curious how long it is until next patch and next notable tournament. Shadow Demon nerf was definitely necessary, but he only really hit his potential in high-MMR pubs and of course pro games (especially TI6).

LC gets beans ARE YOU KIDDING ME VOLVO

Confirmed that icefrog just wants LC to be dumpster tier forever.

This was an adjustment patch. She will likely get something in 6.89.

She did when she first hit Dota 2 though, although it was due to a bug.

ROFL

Hopefully they patch it soon. Why is the old ability still attached to Drow? Or is it just a bunch of abilities in a pool that they just know which is which. Drow and DP Silence were both called Silence, Lion and SS Hex are still both called Hex. I'm guessing there is some naming convention like Drow_ silence or something.
