So I feel this strong desire to play Lone Druid because I hate myself. How difficult is he to micro when compared to say Visage (who I can micro moderately well)?

Not very though. Just use tab to alternate between him and the bear.

my favorite team is no more

oh well, excited to see where everyone ends up after the roster shuffle period is over

seeing bulldong play pitlord, maybe passive should even be maxed 1st?
insane damage makes it easier to cs, so firestorm's importance becomes less

If you're going to max it at least max firestorm along with it

 

[twobear]

his passive is truly disgUSTing, 300 bonus damage is a damn mess

Easier to play than visage but significantly more punishing when you lose the bear.

I'd say about the same, maybe harder than Visage, but it really depends on what you view difficult. Some techniques with him just come with time, such as being able to run and bodyblock with the bear, or set up good savage roars with the bear while your hero runs away.

Lane positioning of both hero and bear can also be pretty difficult at first, especially in offlane.

Roster swap mayhem is still embarrassing

Man RTZ stream isn't until September 1st.

Wake me up when September starts.

OG pointing out that they kicked moon while Cr1t and miracle left is kind of funny.

"We love these two, but that guy? Fuck that guy."

Played 2 games of Lone Druid. I got the hang of him pretty quickly, but both games were 100% toxic (I am talking 27/7 and 18-0 Riki and Slark, respectively) so I didn't really feel the full effect of the hero thanks to my teammates.

Faced off against oracle, tiny and pudge bot and held up fine for the first few levels but I completely underestimated Tiny's burst and died 3 times because of it. After that my fate was pretty much sealed. Mechanically I feel fine after my little excursion from Dota but I'm constantly questioning my decision making and map movement while feeling a bit anxious about it all. Nothing to do but to dive in and ruin as many games as I can before I feel back in the groove.

so does this mean we'll see more organizations previously only with League teams pick up Dota 2 teams? Like TSM?

It means the same thing it means in Dota 2. I'm not sure what that point is about. I believe they gave top towers a little more armor or something, but I don't know what else it could be referring to.

edit: Yea just tower revisions. They added a little health, reduced the gold slightly, reduced the amount of damage the towers took. Every game had lane swapping because it was easier so they made it less valuable to do so.

 

[Vade]

Riot-san will soon add 'new' and 'exciting' feature TM. like 'Solo Que' a mode where each player is entered into the 'match' as a single rather than a group.

 

[rakkadakka]

How do they prevent people from switching lanes?
