2. solo mid
3. steamroll to mid 1500
I've found in sub-1550 pubs, a solo vj mid is pretty good. His base damage is good, and cursed ground is crazy imba for early ganks. At six, you should have 2 in cask, 3 in maledict, and the voodoo totem. That should be enough to kill any non-blinking enemy, and both sidelane enemies on a very good gank. Build SotM and you're good to go through lategame.

I'm hovering around 1400. Had a terrible losing streak where I got the worst teammates.

I think you don't get tagged with the Disconnect in your stats, but the opposing team still gets the win.
Personally, I believe that getting your opponent to ragequit/DC early game because of lane domination or repeated ganks is a valid strategy. S2games didn't take out the ability to chat with the opposing team in game so trashtalking can't be prevented. My brothers and I have run early game strats just for getting the spirit of one enemy crushed and ruin the game for him in the hopes that he'll quit (by either checking out of the game mentally or actually DCing) rather than tough it out and extend the game to 60 minutes where they could actually win. I've seen carries ragequit on their clanmates on 1800 no AB games so often that I think it actually happens more at that psr range.

What's the time limit on remaking?
Lone_Prodigy said:
8 minutes, but its so rare for the vote to go through because at 4v5 unless your carries are farmed it's near impossible to win / not very fun. ( Which at the beginning of the game they aren't )
Practically free PSR for the other team, which gives them 0 incentive for voting yes.
I know it probably won't work very well, but that AI bot idea that Valve has may actually be a good thing :lol
- Added kill streaks, and other kill events to the player stats page
* This includes Smackdowns and Humiliations (the tracked Humiliation is not a failed attempt at a smackdown, but when you kill someone who taunted you)
- Touched up some effects on the main menu background
- Updated string tables
- Updated Catman Leader effects when he stomps
Tablet of Command
- Can no longer be used while immobilized
Harkon's Blade
- Can be toggled while stunned
Bombardier
- Tweaked sounds and effects slightly
- Added voice
Deadwood
- Slow from Willowmaker is now linear in how it decreases instead of down-up-down weirdness
Flint Beastwood
- Flare now does DoT damage over 2 seconds (initial hit, 1 tick after first second, 1 tick after second second)
Legionnaire
- Terrify is now properly applied in a cone in-front of him again
Pharaoh
- Wrath of the Pharaoh (with SOTM only) can now be toggled between targeting enemies only or enemies and allied heroes
smh

Cool, Pharaoh has an escape mechanism with his ult.
lone he always had that. Now its just toggleable.
Kapura i just get two duck boots, circlet and tango. the best tip in last hitting is looking at the ranged creeps attack anf coordinating with him.
Also i get the ranged first, although better to get first skill first..then alternate btwn that and his ministun.

Swag I watched that game where you were arachna vs flint. On one occasion you were fighting against him where he also had 4 creeps attacking you. Why? You also deal 10 damage more than he does and yet he denied you alot..
I just played a game where I was arachna and opponent was flint. 18551468

So is any team with valenti (and adequate support) an instant win? 
Lone_Prodigy said:So is any team with valenti (and adequate support) an instant win?
We learned this isn't true last night :lol
Edit: Val how do you keep your GPM so high, do you just farm regardless of how far lane is pushed? Trying your best to avoid Ganks? Seems like your GPM is always around 320+ even with a hero like Vind

Glad to see you guys dig the new hero concept :lol The entire hero is supposed to be pretty over-the-top visually (his name is a play on his visual concept, too).
If you have the test client, you can check him out there, but be forewarned as he is very much a work in progress, and we've already internally moved onto a different iteration.
We're going to be putting out content at a much faster pace now that we're all settled in at the new office. I have four complete, playable hero concepts myself sitting in the queue waiting to be added to the game
I also checked out the new matchmaking interface today for the first time. It's very intuitive, and if everything is running smoothly, will hopefully make everyone forget about the current MM fiasco :lol

Nice. I can't wait for new heroes to change up the metagame. Hopefully more ganking orientated as opposed to 60 minute farm festsCasval said:Glad to see you guys dig the new hero concept :lol The entire hero is supposed to be pretty over-the-top visually (his name is a play on his visual concept, too).
