Yeah I stopped buying the compendium once I realize that in a year, those items will be cents on the dollar

Valve got smart and started making untradable/unmarketable rewards

All I've learnt from that is that VG are the big winners out of that shuffle.
I'm glad ancient farming with March is a thing again. Granted you can't really do the shit could when it was composite (or mixed? I forget) damage, but still a nice little way to farm.
Aghs is great, but I honestly miss the days of the mechanical skill Sheep Dagon builds. Being able to permanently sheep and blow up a farmed carry was satisfying.

team had pugna + drow vs riki + jugg + ember... team refused to push and bought midas despite I literally screamed at them.
I think I'm expecting too much from 3k mmr bracket

Sometimes people like to farm for 30 mins even if it's against the best interest of the team. Some people just like to 'check out' when they play and just kinda do whatever. Unfortunately those games will happen and hopefully next time your teammates will be more responsive.
Got my bots at min 12 going nulls+soul+bots. Not good, but as soon as I saw my lane was stolen I had to do something that didn't involve robbing off tide of a lane. Granted, they could have jungled just as well as I did but they didn't feed solo off vs Pugna/Storm so I'll give them props for that.
After that my farm picked up, but I'm not good on tinker since I don't do it much. We probably should have won but my clinkz wasn't ratting enough so I had no good Bots 2 target except for team fights.
If they go the wisp route, won't it be impossible to get the Rubick arcana later? That was the actual reason I went in on this year's compendium. :/
They probably will. Valve clearly did the math and realized it made far more sense to lock down items, especially the prestige ones.
It's kind of weird to remember when I first got into Dota 2 how much more stuff could be traded; I don't even remember marketing limitations.

Ur a chump
Why hasn't Valve listened to Reddit yet and done something to make Rubick's spells look different from the original hero? I've had plenty of times where I walked through the wrong Macopyre, Ice Wall, Midnight Pulse, Pit of Malice, etc. It's one of those things I'm surprised Valve hasn't listened on yet, since Rubick has been in the game for years and this has been an issue all that time.
I saw a suggestion a few years ago to make Rubick's version of the spells all have a green and black color scheme to them. I think this would work for everyone except Pugna, Viper, and other heroes with similar colors. For those they could just invert the greens and blacks, so Nether Ward would be almost all black.

I won't lose any sleep over not having the companion cube. I don't think I've played Wisp but perhaps twice in all my years of DotA.
Valve will continue to make money from arcana like Zeus' or Jugg's.
There was a time when I was hunting down Drow's WETA Butterfly just for the in-game item. Good times!

they probably only did the wisp shit so he wouldnt get meme voted to number 1 again.
But if he was just a "meme vote", why did they make it anyway?
Does that make Rubick a "meme vote"?
At least the last two years, these arcana votes have just been one side calling the other "meme votes". I really don't get it.
It's very simple. In the Dota (and others') community, oftentimes memes = things I don't like.
Yea I dunno about this lol
If I was MidOne I'll just rack up a bunch of points then leave

A lot of people voted on rubick cause they like playing rubick. People voted wisp cause they thought it would be funny if a hero with no hat potential won.

Team TBD, great name
Purge confirmed in his Vlog that we all know the name of the "fairy hero", so it's Sylph.
Purge also knows the name of the Pangolin, and he seems to think they might change it. He saw both of them with names before they were announced when he was writing strings for the noob stream.

That's cause the other one was named Armadillo in the files according to him in a 'What the Duck' episode a few weeks ago.
Here's purge and Slacks talking about the name
Should be Cait Sith. That's right, it wasn't just some made up name for FFVII. It's a mythological figure, also it's appearance in Shin Megami Tensei predates FFVII.
I love playing Dazzle, but I'm absolutely terrible with him. Never survive long enough to pull off enough clutch saves for everyone else.
Currently grinding my way back up to 3K with that Treant - Veno - CM combo.

Yes. Even if you dislike the story, the campaign is good, multiplayer is better than vanilla, and the co-op mode and custom maps are all worth playing.

they have skill and experiences for sure but I kinda feel their personalities and ideas about the game might clash.
His cast range is pretty insane with the talent. I had no real problem getting stuff off, but like I said I only could save Huskar once or twice. He was just a bit divey
