Ya did good. I think as you cast more you'll find out which parts of your personality people react to most, and you can lean into those more if you're comfortable with letting those grow. I'd take that approach over trying to actively "force" a kind of personality that, while fun or interesting, feels like an act you have to put on.

Does anyone use bans on heroes they don't want to see on their own team? It's all I ever use bans for anymore. I'm tired of shitty Shadow Fiends and Invokers, so I use my ban on them. It's usually SF these days. The toxic attitude of SF pickers is almost universal. I don't know if it's the hero or the people that gravitate towards the hero. Got one last night and he kept typing "badmood!" When pressed to explain wtf that means, he said we can't win because he's in a bad mood and, therefore, can't play well... so he started feeding.
WAOW!
WAOW!

Interesting interview with Planet Dog's J4 about OQ into RQ, problems with getting team to pay for bootcamp, and TI7
I hope those guys get their US visa's and some TI prize money. They've been in the scene so long.

Compendium should have had a predictions for number of players who don't get visas for TI
I expect at least 2 or 3 players to get turned down with you know who in charge
iG, NB, fnatic, empire, FY, Secret, EG, NP, OG, DC, VP all been to America LAN recently - or have not had problems in the past
TL - maybe problem
iGV - massive problem
TNC - maybe problem
Xctn - problem
planet dog - maybe problem
lgd - maybe problem
infamous - problem

Infamous should be fine--South American countries rarely have issues, and I think LGD usually is the team that has players fill in when other Chinese teams have Visa issues, so they should be fine as well. The only teams I see having issues is iG.v since they always do, Planet Dog since I don't think any of those guys have proof they are "professional" players (no big US LAN experience I know of) and XCTN. TNC rarely has issues and TL has a good enough staff that they can make sure they get it taken care of.

Yes yes!! Keep buffing my winter waifu! Make her even better. I am already winning alot with her in the last two patches.
Dark seer didn't deserve that nerf. He already went mia in pros after the nerfs in the last patch.

I played yesterday for the first time since the Kunkka + Tide announcer came out. They actually have lines for Shrines under attack/destroyed. I wonder if they will ever do this for the other announcers, or at the very least the stock announcer.
Monkey King is also the only hero with a line for Bounty Runes. I think that happening for all the other heroes is less likely unless they brought in that voice actor to record a new hero or announcer pack or something.
I feel like people are understating the size of the Tiny buff of Toss going through BKB.

I ban Slark and Legion constantly. Down here in 2.8K they seem to be a magnet for people who want to tilt and deliberately feed the second something doesn't go their way.
Only way Valve is getting money from me in the future is if they release a Luna announcer pack. Would buy that in a heartbeat.
I want an Ogre Magi announcer pack. I like the idea of two characters bantering for an announcer pack, Ogre Magi would be perfect for that IMO.

Shouldn't it be KotL and Chaos Knight?
Although I like Night Stalker being involved with that more.

Yeah I used to ban slark so shitty fishtards wouldn't be on my team. Fuck tinker tho, he's banned now.
Toss doesn't really go through bkb, it's like being able to pa blink at bkb targets, just a valid thing to be thrown at.

I'm not big into lore but apparently kotl killed all of balanar's people with light creating phoenix and sending the world into chaos - of which chaos knight is trying to restore balance (???)
Thanks c:
Welp, mostly they're absolute shitfests, it's the bracket where people actually don't know what they're doing at all. Very common to see 5 cores against 5 cores and 50+ minute games where the less dumb team wins. I was able to get out of there by spamming mid bloodcyka, very good to capitalize on errors and snowballing.

Re: Tiny: Am I misunderstanding the change? Can he not throw units through BKB, or can only throw units AT someone with BKB?
Re: KotL & Chaos Knight, I was thinking of it from the angle in the lore that CK is the Fundamental of Dark and KotL is the Fundamental of Light.
New System seems neat. Does this mean the Reaver/Eaglesong/Mystic Staff trophies are permanently retired though?
Hope we get more US Tournaments, in the past year I think only the Boston Major and the International have been hosted in the United States. I guess the Summit is in the US, but the public isn't allowed to attend at all.

I can see them doing 1 Minor per country with 2 in China.
Canada Minor could be NA Beat
US Minor could be X-games Austin
Ukraine Minor Starladder
German Minor ESL Frankfurt
Could be huge for new destinations like Australia, Middle East, and Peru that just need the Valve name to legitimize a tourney
So, is it safe to assume TI8 will have 10 or 12 invited teams? If they only invite 6 teams, I feel teams will mostly ignore the point system. I guess Valve can also base Qualifier invites off of points, but teams don't care too much about that either if Open Qualifiers still exist.
Sounds similar to the World Tour points style system. OG's feat will never be repeated if there's no more Valve majors.
I wonder if this means they're bringing back third party compendiums...
waxinlyrical
Member
Nah, I think teams will still care even if it only gets them an invite to Regional Quals. Open qualifiers are scary because of their best of one nature.
I'm actually really happy about these changes, hope community compendiums/crowd funding prize pools return.
the fact that it's the players that retain the points and not the team seems like a pretty huge deal
could be interesting
Feels more like this. Not that I blame them, maximize profit and effort.
I'm sure we'll get more information once TI finishes but I wonder if they approve talent as well.
Would be funny to see James at a Valve labeled tournament after everything.
