I think the Radiance is a bit trollish on Centaur since it delays the Heart of Tarrasque, which is all Centaur needs to be able to sustain the aggro of towers. Plus what is the interest of Radiance when you have Double Edge with some health and regen?

Some aggressive pushes with Boots of Travel, Vanguard and Heart of Tarrasque is creating some space for everyone. No need for Radiance there. I think this is what explains my 85% winrate with this build: the space created for teammates.

That being said, the solo mid strategy rocks. I have just demolished an Ember Spirit.

I am sure the radiance is just for accelerated farm and if the other team goes on you, they will be taking a lot of punishment.

I admit I have never tried radiance on Centaur yet I just normaly go: Tranq > Vanguard > Hood(if needed) >

's for the rest of the slots.

Yeah it's too outside the meta for pubs who only see CW as blink initiator

Look how tilted this Sniper gets

I was going to prove it but you made your backpack private to third-party sites.

wait never mind no you didn't

you appear to have the ee hood equipped so you don't have the cat ears equipped at the least

All I can say atm is...that's not what's on Drow now.

I switched some stuff up a couple of weeks ago when i was checking out the Warhammer chest. Boredom I suppose. Then i realized I didn't actually feel like playing dota again yet so dotes got closed again. You know how like when you open a chest and get some random set for a hero...you equip it maybe, move some shit around...but don't actually get around to playing said hero anytime soon? Think of it like that.

Funny thing is I almost played her today. The match I lost on Kotl (the 6/1/36 match) I was going to play Drow but some scrub beat me to it. You would have had your data.

I'll probably play her tomorrow, but until then...who says I'm not wearing the kitty set? Back of the bus, Scooby Doo!

My gut tells me FFXV is gonna be super fucking good and silence all the haters and doubters. Doing the FFXII/Xenoblade approach was the right decision I think.

To be fair, stun at level 1 would have saved his life but the fucking idiot got hooked at a rune after I pinged pudge is missing four times. In the mic all game long they were bitching about no blink :(

I mean it's pretty solidly a Meme Build so it's not going to work in most games. Centaur himself isn't that great.

You guys need more faith. This is not a meme build, this is the real deal. I'm serious about solo mid tho, that's his best lane by FAR.

Once I fix my comp today I'll get a replay going for you guys

0-3 and I bet I get LPQ next time I play from all the people reporting

Please see this line of the guide
Cons:
...
- Guaranteed to piss off your team, the enemy team, or both

Teams do not understand how strong this build is, do not let them prevent you from your dreams. It's also a much different playstyle than most heroes because you want to take damage, especially from towers, but you have to manage your HP earlier before you get the heart. Kinda like an awkward mix between Huskar and Bristleback.

I think the Radiance is a bit trollish on Centaur since it delays the Heart of Tarrasque, which is all Centaur needs to be able to sustain the aggro of towers. Plus what is the interest of Radiance when you have Double Edge with some health and regen?

It has multiple advantages. Mainly it is a farm accelerator (I average about 700 gpm per fortress centaur game). It also punishes people for NOT killing you, and for getting near you. I consistently get my first heart 5-6 minutes after obtaining radiance.

It wasn't bad in my last game when I was fully online. Only person who could stand up to me was Omni, but he also had 30k of farm to my 27k.

But at this point in the game Sniper had pushed mid and died twice while I was keeping lanes pushed out and farming :(
 
I'd rather have a Fortress Centaur than a Huskar or a Bristleback, TBH.

Cent's ult is just too good, let alone the stomp and return damage on top of that.
 
I think 6.89 will be after the major

No way. Even if it means Monkey King release will not be bundled with it, I don't see them not releasing 6.89 for the Major. We had this theory last time around too, that Manilla Major would run on 6.86. That was busted. Some people thought we wouldn't have a 6.88 for TI either. Again busted.
